to over five hundred useful young
men and women and to the idea which
has Strengthened out their crooked
starts in liie-reported his four orig
inal states to be reorganized and
ready as n basis for the new nation.
Pioneering from coast to coast, Mr..
George has settled a band OF young
colonists in California near Los
Angeles and paved the way for plant
ing and nursing other colonies in
other states. Connecticut has been
reused to make much of its struggl-
ing junior republic at Litchfeld and
Marylands older organization has
also been instated in the national fed
Grafton.
Working their way to self support
and respect, some two hundred boys
and girls less than sixteen years old
are to-day enrolled as citizens in this
four-state nucleus of the national
junior republic. Each OF them has
gone wrong in the outer community
and is learning for the first time the
self satisfaction Of getting on the
right side OF things in their own lit
tie democracy. As judges, jury,
police, public prosecutors and legis-
lators they hold the fate of their fell
lows and the young commonwealth
entirely in their own hands, AS fore
man, skilled laborers or apprentices
in the farm, furniture factory, bakery,
printing plant and laundry these
youngsters are finding out that they
must do work and reap its reward or
loaf and starve. In all the fourteen
years of the parent republic in this
state few Of the many hundred Junior
citizens, originally sent there as in
corrigibles, have failed in the end to
see the point and impress it on those
who followed.
The fine art of leaving absolutely

NEW YORK, June 8.-With Cali
fornia, New York, Connecticut and
Maryland as its original states, ma
tional republic of boys and girls has
been founded in this city to-day, The
Plymouth Rock OF this young nation
lies at the George Junior Republic in
Freeville, where New York's strayed
youngsters have reclaimed them
selves for fourteen years, and dad
dy" G orge, who has proved its Co.
lumbus, will be Its Washington. That
every state in the older union may
eventually have the same sure means
of turning its young incorrigibles into
good citizens is the plan of the ma
tional association which has just been
formed to stand behind this juvenile
United States.
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Tlli-
nois are already planning state colon
les to join the National George Junior
Republic, while dozen other states
pave to-day applied to be represented,
each with its little working democ-
racy of boys and girls Just as the
parent republic in this state is model
led exactly after the life and repre-
sentative self-government of any
American town, the national body OF
young republics will reproduce the
government of the larger land for
which it will turn out thousands Of

27 Years.

NEW YORK, June S-Mrs Antoine
Fuerst of Newark, is displaying to
her friends necklace and a cross of
gold, and relating the story of ro-
mantle restoration of the trinket after
it had been lost to her for 27 years.
One day last week woman called
upon daughter-in-law of Mrs. Flu
erst and asked her if she remembered
losing necklace and cross many
years ago, The younger Mrs. Fuerst
said she remembered that her hus-
bands mother had sustained such a
loss.
The stranger produced the neck
lace and asked that it be restored to
its owner. She then told Mrs. Fuerst
that a friend had given her the neck
lace and cross ten years ago. The
friend, she said, was on her death bed
at the time.
Her promise to restore the trinket, |
made to the dying woman, was not |
kept, the stranger said, only because
she had been unable to find the owner.
Recently while at the grave of the
woman who had enjoined her to res
tore the necklace, the stranger recall
ed the promise She entered into
with grave digger and
mentioned the name of Mrs. Fuerst.

MISSING BABY RECOVERED.
After Being Hunted For by 1000
People For 3 days.

CHICAGO, June S,-A despatch to
the Tribune from Calumet, Mich,
says:
Two worn out men members of a
party of 1000 people seeking Miss
Cornzack in the woods for three days
and nights, came upon a child's hat
and shoes near creek in a swamp
yesterday and sent up loud shout of
JOY which told that the long hunt
was over.
The child, who is four years old
had been missing since Thursday.
She was found reclining against
tree unconscious, Her locks had been
blown over her face as if by kindly
Providence, yet this had proved in
sufficient protection, for her lips,
cheeks and brow were swollen and
discolored from bites of mosquitoes
and other insects that infest the NOR
ass.
Without food since she left her
home four days ago, save berries and
wild fruits of the forest, the girl must
have given out from sheer exhaustion,
The wanderer was taken to the
home of her parents, Mr., and Mrs,
VIM. Cornzack, where physicians
stated that she would recover. Her
father is blind and was barred from
aiding in the hunt for his daughter.

Telephone Wires Under Ground.

One of the characteristics of mod
ern city is the absence of telephone
and telegraph poles and wires upon
the principal streets. Usually the
companies providing these public
utilities are compelled to place the
wires under ground.
In the reconstruction of the Stand
ard Telephone company here it has
been decided to place all their wires
ON main business streets in conduits
under ground. They have requested
permission of the city council to place
their conduits in the streets and per-
mission has been granted. The COM
pany believes that this will, in the
end, prove economical for them and
beside enable the service to be greatly
improved. This is certainly COM
action and will be appre.
ciated BY the people Of the city.
