Eton Not for Poor BOYS.

From Macmilan's Magazine.
The parents of Eton boys are mainly Of
easy fortune and the education for those
who will be financially Independent is prob
ably the best given; for youth so I'M
fortunate as to have to seek immediate
employment after 1t 1t may be the worst
To make 1t answer both purposes is to
elusive conditions. and the moral seems to
be that until 1t ceases to be suitable
place Of education for the rich the poor
should avoid IT. For just as an excellent
skill available when he has suddenly to
descend unarmed into a street brawl, SO
must Elton under present conditions in
evitably be an unsuitable school for direct
hand to hand competition in the making Of
money. fact which parents and other
critics will do well to realize.

NOT BOOMING CANNON.
Sherman Sure That President Roose-
welt VIII Run.

UTICA. N. Y. August O.-Representative
James 8. Sherman couldn't restrain himself
yesterday when shown a press dispatch
from Washington which made 1t appear
that he was engineering a presidential boom
for Speaker Cannon end had received an
assurance from Gov. Hughes that the
latter would accept second place on the
ticket
There is not one word Of truth in that
story as far as I am concerned" said the
representative.
Asked whether or not he had discovered
much sentiment in favor Of Cannon. the
representative replied: I have nothing to
say regarding the presidency except what
have said before-that believe Theodore
Roosevelt Is the man for the place; that
he will accept the nomination and that
he will be reelected. He was not a seeker
for the nomination for Vice President, but
1t came to him in such a way that he
felt 1t his duty to accept 1t. 1 believe that
he will do the same thing In this case"

The Squirrel and the Sap.
From the Kennebec Journal.


There have been several gray squirrels
about the premises of H. K. Morrell, In
Gardiner, all winter and the other day
Mira. Morrell was the witness of a curious
act by one Of them. He was In a maple
tree, and gnawed OFF some of the bark on
the upper side Of limb. When the sap
had commenced to run and was gather
ing in drops on the lower side Of the
limb the squirrel reached down and
drank 1t. How he knew 1t was sap in
the maple. and that 1t Is time for IT to
run. does not appear. but 1t is evident
that he did know both that the maple
was the sap tree and that 1t was time
for the sap.

TAYLOR wEPT coPIoUsLY.
Stops Wheels Of Justice While He En-
tertains tho Court.


The wheels of justice in the District
branch OF the Police Court were stopped for
several minutes this morning while a pow
erfully built colored man walled and wept
with a noise that shook the very beams Of
the court house. The defendant was Barney
Taylor and he was charged with disorderly
conduct. After Judge O'Neal stated that
he would let him OF with a fine of 81 Tay-

Taylor informed the court, when ar

the court to assign him counsel Judge

complainant testified that Taylor boarded a
street car at It'll and B streets last night
and tried to sit down on a seat on which
there were already five passengers sitting.
One Of the passengers. Charles w. Luckett.
objected and a lively dispute that followed
turned into a fight.
Il heard profanity used in the course Of
the fight" testified the detective.
Whoop." began Taylor. and his weeping
stunt was started. His vocal organs put
on extra steam and shrieks and wailings
combined to give decided ripple to the at
mosphere. Persons in the court jumped to
their feet and those about the corridors
rushed into the court room to see what was
the matter.
Are you a weak woman?" his lawyer
asked the defendant. But Taylor was too
busy wailing to hear the question.
Did you tell him to do that, HEWLETT"
asked Prosecuting Attorney James L. Pugh.
Taylor kept On wailing. but Judge O'Neal
gave no sign Of dismissing the case

NEW YORK. August 1o.-Unless some
new disturbing factors develop within the
next few days not few stock market OBJ
servers are disposed to believe that the mar
ket will be relatively quiet. In many cir
cles. however. 1t is taken pretty much for
granted that the activities of the federal
and state authorities will keep the market
in a disturbed state. Judging from recent
interviews with Attorney General Bonaparte
1t Is assumed that his department wifi con-
for the stock market and general business
conditions.
There is pretty good reason for believing
that the other railroads operating In the
State of Alabama will put into effect the
reduced rates which form the basis
OF the compromise reached. Temporal
rsly at least. between the officials Of the
Southern Railway Company and the au-
thorities OF that state. 1t Is understood
measures the adoption of which would
mean a reduction in railroad rates within
their limits. If action along that line Is
taken by most OF the southern SIXTIES the
railroads in that section will suffer cOnsid-
erably. according to the statement of some
Of their representatives.
For two years or more most Of the south
ern roads have been hurt greatly by the
scarcity and inefficiency of labor. Five
years ago 60 cents day was the average
wage of the ordinary colored laborer on the
railroads. Today the same class of labor
is receiving $1.75 a day. and there Is reason
for believing that the value received by the
rail rna dc 10 no, @
being paid. 1t is positively asserted by
those in position to know that the net
earnings of the southern roads during the
last fiscal year suffered almost as much
from the scarcity and inefficiency of labor
as from the high prices for materials and
labor. If general business should fall off
sufficiently to make heavy inroads on the
gross earnings 1t is easy to see that the
net results would not be at all satisfac-
tory
Some conservative students of the situa-
ton think that more attention should be
paid to the money market than to the ag-
gressiveness OF federal and state authori-
ties with respect to the corporations. They
believe that the condition OF the money
market and the fear that 1t will become
considerably tighter a few weeks hence
had more to do with the severe break this
week than did any other factor.
1t Is understood that recently weH-es-
tablished corporation whose credit has al
ways been and is still regarded as the best
was compelled to pay Ss per cent for a
loan which its officials negotiated. 1t is
claimed also that within the last week or
two men who are rated as being worth
anywhere from $1O,009OOO to 10000, COO
have been compelled to give their personal
Endorsement to paper in addition to the de-
post of first-class collateral before greatly
desired loans could be obtained Some be-
1{oxro hot 10 {rrl,t fhax hos
been commonly reported. They think also
that the tendency will be to hoard 1t I'M
less the attacks upon corporations are re-
duced to q minimum in the near future.
