RIRns OF 4 FEATHER.

Some days ago in these columns we emphasized the necessity for decided action being taken by the police in running to earth the gang of young thieves that has given the business of late, We commended at that time the instructions of Chief Cowles to his men when he told them to do their utmost to keep these young men nov ing and not let them hang around the street corners.
 In dealing with the cases of certain members of this gang brought before him last week on the charge of theft and burglary of this nature Judge Mathewson, of the police court, sug- gested another plan of action which also has it's merits. The judge first warned the young men whose cases were continued against lettering around the pool rooms, where he was con- vinced, he said that most of their crimes we're matched Tn order to breal up the gangs of young men. which he is determined to do, he warned the misefeants that he would instruct tne police tn bring them before him to have :heir cases reopeucd vi enever they f't nd two or thtee Of them t.t- gether. In that event he promised them no !enieney His honor vehemently ex- pressed himself as follows. "t wont h e yeU boys even seen together. and 1 if you gre, you will be brought in whether you are committing any cf- fense TT nct. I am going L. break u1 this gang. and if any two or three oi you aie found together, yoJ will be arrested cn the charges which now stand against you Now l want you tc i get something to do, even if you have to p-csk for nothing"
 The old adage tells us that "Mis- i cry loves company For all that the i judge seems to be on the rlght road Birds of feather fiuck to2etner,
 and if the plumage of certain young i mon happens to be of q dugv variet> I it will not tend to make i: spot,es' white to let them get together more

\ Mother Tn New York.

Charleston News and Courier.)
 Three children, boy of five. a girl of three and a girl of seven months, of Edward s. Brewer. wealthy New Yorker, in some way contracted small- pox. They were sent to hospital for contagious diseases where they were confined in a cottage and given the best of nursing and medical attention. Their mother, aged twenty -six. went to the hospital with them and assisted in nursing them The mother did not contract the disease. The children re- covered-what of it?
 Ono of the most interesting diver. sions that we know or is to view New York from a great distance and thrill with amazement This incident in the life of the estimablc Brewer family Is found worthy of full column. front page story in great New York news paper The courage and devotion of Mrs, Brewer are painted in lovely words. She did not abandon her chii dren to nurses and doctors, She actu. ally behaved towards them as any normal woman in the backwooi would have behaved and instantly be comes a person of distinction in th, metropolis of the country.
 Much as the eyplota ation of Mrs Brewer forces tho sorrowful reflection that the ordinary instincts of human motherhood are not commonly foun, in New York. 1t is gratifying to be toll that the great city contains at leas one good woman Put the importanc attached 10 the young societ- matrons' conduct carries a severer in dictment against the women general, of New York than anything that isiino Glvn said, or might have said abou them

HARD TO BELIEVE.

$ l. Tipton of Courtlard, Kansas, called on the President of the United States Saturday Two years ago MT. Courtland sent the President a hand some horsehair bridle and when he shook hands with MT. Roosevelt Sat urday he asked him if he remembered the bridle. He did remember it per fectly'' said MT. Tipton, "and said he thought good deal of it But he add ed that he was growing old now. and that his cowboy days were over told him that the boys out West wouldn't helleVe any such story as that if I brought 1t out to them But he said it was fact, just the same, and added m the future such pretty hair brides and lariats and handsome saddle fur niture were for younger men"
 MT. Tipton told this in Washington
 What he will tell when he gets back to kansas remains to be seen. But the boys out West, the boys in the East the boys in the South and the boys ir the North will find it hard to believe that the Presidents cowboy days arc over So will the New York Sun

RECEIVING SOME.

The receiver isn't always as bad as the thief. but sometimes he receives as much. Seven years ago the Republic Savings and Loan Association got in- to trouble. When the troubles came it's assets were called worth a million. Since then they have shrunk to $275,- 0O0. The company has just been wound up" and the creditors got six cents on the dollar It has cost S19S,- 900 to realize s275,00O. Seventy per cent of what was left has been swal- lowed up by the expenses of "liquida- tion'
 It is figured that the creditors are lucky to get the six per cent. they did get. If the receivership had lasted 2 year longer they wouldn't have got that. We read, and tremble while we read, that after death cometh the judgment. After the death of busi- ness cometh the receiver, and there is often cause to tremble at his coming

FOR MORE SAFETY IN CHICAGO.

The death rate in Chicago isn't vet extinct in spite of the laudable amhi- ton of the health officers to extin- guish it People continue tc die os ,.is- ease there, and quite a few die in ele- vators Thirtv-one persons were killed in Chicago in elevator accidents dur ing tfc year ended | ,camhe.' last. according to the coroner's annual re- port, and fourteen elevator conduc- tors met with accidental deaths So the corporation counsers department has drafted an ordinance which pro vides that no passenger or freight sle. vator, except in g private residence, or hoist used in building construc- ton, shall he operated except hv a person at least 21 years old, licensed as an elevator operator, after. passing an examination given by board of three examiners to he appointed by the mayor. The fee for the exsmina-  ton is put at s2. a nominal sum. but large enough to provide salaries for examiners capable of conducting the written examinations called for and of putting the applicants through prac- tical tests. The proposed ordinance 1 provides a heavy fine for any person who operates an elevator without a | license. each day of operation being counted 8 separate offense What is more to the point. it provides fine of $50 to Se00 for any person. firm, corporation or agent employing an un- | licensed operator to run an elevator.

APPLES.

Comfort me with apples said a sweet singer, and many have found apples comforting, Those who like them and eat them much will be pleased by the assertion of a big London doctor that their comforter is also a preventive of drunkenness This doctor correspond cd with many medical men in vari- ous parts of the United Kingdom. He received replies from all but three. From a large majority came answers that they had never known case where a person was accustomed to the free use of apples and was a drunk ard, nor did they ever know of a drunkard who was accustomed to the daily use of apples. From personal ob- servations, covering a period of more than twenty-five years, the doctor says he never has known a single in- stance where person who was free cater of apples acquired the liquor habit nor has he known 2 person ad- dicted to the free use of liquor who was fond of apples
 Which is decidedly interesting. if generally true. Of course it wont do to take the apples in the form of hard cider That is no preventive of drunk enness, as many 3 drunkard knows

fense, The invitation extended to Dr. Richards to preach in an Episcopal church was an impressive exhibition of wise Christian judgment. It would have been preposterous to let :he Crapsey blunder forbid the Richards wisdom. That it did not is further proof of the general uprising among the religious societies of the country. and their determination to make re- ligion count for more than it does at the present moment.
 The action of Bishop Williams of the diocese of Michigan in opening a downtown office at Detroit where he can be consulted upon any subject is another Suggestion of the awakening spirit of the age All these things mean that the church has made ur it's mind to seek out men rather than | leave it to men to seek out the church There may be many failures and dis appointments, but in the end good will result.
