Storm at Atlantic CITY.

Atalntie City, N, j. June IA 90
mile northeast gale driving sheets OF
rain swept the coast today with one
of the worst storms OF the year.
Yachts were piled on banks and docks
by the winds and very heavy seas
and everything loose on the big piers
was carried on by the gale, Life saw
ers were laid of for the summer to-
day. leaving only the captains of the
stations OF guard the coast but no
wrecks We're reported up till tonight.
The high tides flooded the back end of
the city and tied up trolley tracks on
the lower side of the meadows Thou-
sands of feet of lumber were washed
away.

VIRTUES OF THE PINEAPPLE.
Fresh Juice Has Remarkable Effect
on the DlnestIon.

~ wv S'JNehNfs
The annals OF the French Medical
Academy say that the eating OF a
slice OF pineapple after a meal is quite
in accordance with physiological indi-
cations since, though 1t may not be
generally known, fresh pineapple juice
contains remarkably active digestive
principle similar TO pepsin.
This priciple has been termed
bromelin, and so powerful Is its ac-
tions upon proteids that II will digest
as much as 1000 times its weight with
In few hours. Its digestive activity
varies In accordance with the kind
OF proteid 10 which II Is subjected.
Fibrin disappears entirely after a
time. With the coagulated albumen
OF eggs the digestive process is slow,
while with the albumen OF meat It's
action seems first TO produce a pulpy
geluIinous mass. which. however,
completely dissolves after a short
time. When slice OF fresh plneap-
pie is placed upon a raw beefsteak
the surface Of the steak gradually be-
comes gelutinous owing to the diges-
tive action OF the enzyme of the Juice.
Unlike pepsin, the digestive princi-
pie of the pineapple will operate in
an acid. neutral. or even alkaline
medium according to the fluid OF
proteid to which II is presented. II
may, therefore, be assumed that the
pineapple engine would not only aid
the work OF digestion In the stom-
ach, but would continue that action
In the intestinal tract.
Pineapple, 1t may be added, contains
much indigestible matter OF the ma
ture of woody fibre but It is quite
possible that the decidedly digestive
OF the juice more than
compensate for this fact.

Is coming to him, But 1t frequently
happens that negro working on
the section gets wind of retrlbutive
justice being on his track for some
offense committed elsewhere and he
promptly takes leave, Sometimes he
sends for his wages later on but often
It goes to help swell the unpaid wage
fund.
What to do with the money is a
question that has never been answer
ed by the railroad company. The
practice in the past has Teen to keep
1t in trust. but the amount is looming
to such large proportions that some
other disposition must be sought. Il
probably will reach $10,O00,0OO in the
next year and no doubt many Of the
claimants long since are dead.

CHILD SUICIDES IN GERMANY.
Number So Great That Causes Are Be-
ing Studled--Cities Not to Blame.

ing Studied--Clties NOT TO Blame.
Suicide among school children has
become so frequent in Germany thai
the authorities are devoting serious
attention to the causes of IT, In Prus
sia alone there were LISP cases be.
tween 1882 and 1905, or something
like three,a month. The yearly mum.
Der has been even greater since then
1t is said. A general discussion Of
the subject took place some time age
in Berlin Nat a meeting of the Society
of School Sanitation.
OF the number given above, 81
cases were of children attending the
lower grade of schools. and 342 the
higher, but in spite of this the ten
dency to suicide appears to increase
| with age, as the number of children
over 10 years who kill themselves
was about four times as great as the
number below that age. The boys
also were four times as numerous as
the girls.
In great majority of cases the
or near home and not at school or af-
ter leaving school, The causes, too,
even when school matters were con-
nected with them, usually had their
strongest elements in the nome.
In more than a third of the cases
fear of punishment dread of examina-
ton or shame at failure to pass ex-
aminations was the prime cause. But
in many Of these cases, perhaps a
majority of them, 1t was the attitude
of the parents, actual or expected,
that led directly to the deed.
The lack of correspondence be-
tween the actual powers of many
children and the results exacted from
them by rigid school system often
form the basis of trouble. But the
thing that renders 1t acute Is the
assumption of ineffective parents that
the child must be able to do what
the school exacts of it-what other
children do.
He can II he will" was described
by one of the speakers as suicide
provoking dictum, as common as 1t
is foolish, since It ignores the fact
that human beings are so often de-
ficient in the power to win.
Ten per cent OF the children's sui
cides were caused by insanity or ner-
vous excitation In a pathological de-
gree. Some of these cases were trace
able to hereditary conditions. includ-
Ing alcoholism in the parents.
The remaining cases were almost
without exception due to domestic
causes ranging from poverty to shame
At the misconduct of relations, es-
pecially parents. The influence OF
morbid books was distinctly tracea-
BILE.
No grounds could be found for the
theory that the conditions OF modern |
,ity life led to suicide among child !
.en. The proportion OF cases was fully |
~ large in places Of the smallest size
rs in crowded centres OF population.

THE WORLDS GREAT CANALS
In Our Country Three Are Links Be
tween the Great Lakes.


There are nine great ship canals in
the world and all of these have been
built within the last seventy FIVE
years. They are the Suez canal, the
Cronstadt and st. Peterburg canal,
the Corinln Canal, the manchester
Ship Canal, the Kaiser Wilhelm, the
Elbe and Trave, the Welland and the
two canals connecting Lake Superior
and Lake Huron between Canada and
this country.
In single year>a greater number of
ships pass through the lake canals OF
the North than through the Suez Can
al though there is no douUJ that the
latter is by far the most important
water link in the world. 1t is the lon
gest being ninety miles from entrance
to exit, and II cost more than $780,
100000 to build. About four thousand
ships pass through the Suez Canal
annually. II takes eighteen hours for
a vessel to go the entire length Of the
canal. There are no locks and part
of the route, about two thirds of II,
Is made up of a series of shallow
lakes.
The Cronstadt and st. Petersburg
Canal is altogether about sixteen miles
including the bay channel. 1t is an
important commercial waterway and
connects the capital OF russia with
the Bay of Cronstadt.
After the construction OF the Cor
inth Canal, which is only four miles
long, a saving OF 175 miles was made
by ships sailing from Adriatic ports.
Apart of this canal was cut through
solid rock, and short as II is, 1t took
nine years to build
A direct route from Manchester.
England, to the Ntlantlc Ucean was
obtained by the digging of the Man
chester Canal. From Manchester
ships now go through lne artificial
waterway 70 the Mersey River and
from there TO the open sea. This
canal is fitted with hydraulic locks.
For the express use and convenience
of military and naval forces the Kais-
er Wilhelm Canal was begun in 1857
and completed less than ten years |
later Since It has been opened 1t has
been found Of great value to merchan-
tile traffic. The canal is sixty one
miles long and extends from Kiel, on
the Baltic, to the North Sea. The
Elbe and Trave Canal is another im-
portant connecting link between tho
baltic and North Seas.
In our own country are three great
canals, all Of them links between the
Great Lakes, The Welland connects
lake Ontario and Lake Erie on the
Canadian side OF the river. II is
wenty seven miles long and has
wenty FIVE sets OF locks.

FOR PRESIDENT
Gov. Folk. Of Missouri, Is a Candidate.
May Oppose Bryan.

st. Louis, June 2,-Governor Folk is
mot now" a candidate for the Dem
ocratlc presidential nomination.
Whether he is to become a formidable
candidate or opponent for William j.
Bryan before the next national con-
yentlon meets depends entirely upon
wishes OF his Democratic associates
This much was made clear by the
governor In an interview today:
Governor Folks intention is TO en-
ter the. race for United States senator.
Naturally Senator Stone, whom he is
anxious to succeed. would like to have
him run for president. Between Folk
and Stone for senator. the politicians
are Offering big odds on the former.
The senatorial fight will begin within

THE PLEDGE AND THE DRINKER

The Michigan legislature has just
passed a measure which permits
judges to require that drunkards take
tie pledge for certain probationary
'glod. The protection OF society de-
mands not so much that the drunkard
shall be jailed or fined, thus taking
income away from needy family,
as that he be reformed. Under the
new Michigan law the man arrested
for intoxication may be released un-
der suspended sentence and the judge
may give him the pledge-an incentive
to keep straight that would not be
furnished simply by fear Of a fine.
This plan has been tried by judges
in various parts OF the country and
has been found to work successfully
In many Instances men who have had
practically been lost 10 society and to
their families have been redeemed by
the pledge probationary plan and made
industrious, self-respectlng citizens.
The Ohio legislature could do well
by initiating tho Michigan law.

as our great poet of democracy has
said liberty is always the last to go,
when it departs It never returns again.
"In cherishing the memory of the
boys of 61, we would do well to en-
ulate their faith their love of liberty,
their dauntless courage and their de-
yotion to an ideal. Today we learn
the great reason of their deeds, we re-
member them with love and reverence.
and we are glad that after their
mighty labors, they are safe among
the stars and at fest in the hearts of
all mankind"

NEW YORK LETTER

New York June at Is expected
that some time this week Mayor Nc.
Clellan win revoke the licenses OF 4OC
odd nickel ,heatres and penny-in-the-
slot arcades in the greater city. For
more than two months the police de-
partment and the Gerry society have
been making a thorough Investigation
in Manhattan OF these cheap amuse-
ment places. In the majority OF cases
II has been found Slat the character
Of the entertainment Is extremely
detrimental to the proper moral de-
volopment OF the children who form
tho greater part OF the clientele OF
such places, and the report which rs
now IN the hands OF the mead OF the
license bureau advises that the IL
censes Of the offending showmen be
revoked The report may reach the
mayor tomorrow. An ltemized list
of the places visited by investigators
Includes remarks Of the conditions ex-
istlng Ia each arcade or "Ineatre."
In all the places children were found,
numbering In some cases as many ~
30 or 3j. An examination OF tho
pictures which they were viewing IN
the penny machines revealed the fact
that many were vulgar and suggestive
while an equally large number were
OF the blood and thunder type.
In Brooklyn a number OF clergy
men headed by the Rev. Floyd Apple
ton, pastor Of 81. Clements Protestant
Episcopal church, have started an in
dependent crusade against the moving
picture shows in that borough.
Although their main object Is 10
prevent the managers from running
their places on Sunday, the movement
probably VIII lead to an investigation.
On Friday the clergymen gained their
first victory, when three showmen
were heavily fined for doing business
IN Sunday. Those who have money
invested in--these penny arcades and
nickel theatres view the situa IN

Mayor Brand Whitlock, Of Toledo,

veterans Of the late Civil war on Me-
mortal day in the News Bee under the
title of "A Memorial Day Thought"
To-day the old soldiers. and the

hearts of all men are one In devotion
TO the memory Of those who gave the
last full measure OF devotion.
1T is a beautiful ceremony, beau
tiful symbol OF love. The boys of 61
were filed with the old spirit OF lib
erty. They saw Special Privilege, the
ancient foe OF humanity, and they
struck II down. In them was no sor-
did motive or mercenary thought;
they were all on fire with the faith OF
world that was young to them and
untainted with cynicism; they were
filled with the love of a great ideal,

MEAT ADVANCES
Scarcity Of Cattle, Say tho Packers,
Is Cause Of Increase In Price.

Chicago, June 2.-Meat consumers
must prepare to pay larger bills for
beef or turn vegetarian, During the
last week prices OF steaks have ad-
vanced two cents pound. and the
tendency Is upward. The packers say
the trouble is scarcity OF cattle.
Some dealers hint that the new gov
ernment inspection of packing houses
has much to do with the advance.
Whatever, cause may be ascribed. It is
said that there will be uniform adj
vances among the retailers. Roasts
that have been selling for 10 cents
will cost 1S cents. and steak will be
advanced from 18 TO 20 cents.
