THE EFFECT OF GOOD READING

Childhood is truly the time TO ac-
quire knowledge: a healthy child is
never still or idle. Every moment he
is awake he is learning something,
And all his knowledge of the world is
obtained through his i've or six senses
as some count them, but he learns
most, as we guess we all do, from
what he is told, from what he sees and
from reading. Before he knows one
letter from another he will look at
pictures an hour at a time and if he
can find any one to read or tell him
about what he sees, his tongue is as
busy as his eyes. His little brain
must do some thinking to keep both
members SO busy. What he learns
from a picture book cannot be calcul-
ated.
AS soon as child is old enough to
read, if he is not provided with read
ing material there are only two ways
for him to do, either to find books and
papers for himself or spend his time
in some other way. As what child
reads has such a power over his whole
| life, it is very important that parents
| be careful about what their children
read If taste or desire for reading
or study is not formed early in life it
| is probable it never will be, or if a
passion for worthless, sensational
print is acquired it will be difficult to
eradicate such a desire. Negligence
or thoughlessness of parents on this
question have been known to be the
cause of lifelong regret.
The plea that it takes money to buy
books or cant afford it, can be met
we think. 1t may take self denial but
better far self denial now than grief
and remorse and maynard children in
your old age \ little tobacco or a
cigar less a day and YOU would soon
svae dollars; or if those luxuries are
not INDUCED in, on looking around
every one can find something he can
do without or with less of. Better to
give the childred less meat than to
starve their minds. Twenty to twenty
five cents a week laid by will soon
amount to enough to pay for ali the
reading children need and a weekly
paper or magazine for the parents.

There is sowing time and a time
to reap. The wise man said; bring
a child up in the way he should CO.
and when he is old he will not depart
from it, So it is with the boys OF
today who are allowed to run the
streets till nine or ten O'Clock at night
This does not mean our town alone,
as most all towns are similarly atfilct'
ed-for an affection it surely proves &c
be to many families in the after life o.
the boys. Parents, see after youl
boys, and the company they keep. l
will be worth more than gold to YOU
and them in the years to come.

MAY CLOSE RACE TRACK.
Kings County District Attorney Seeks
 to Carry Out Threat.

New York, July 27.-Acting District Attorney Elder was closeted with the Brooklyn grand jury all of this morn ing, taking testimony in the betting cases. Several of the policemen who had been detailed at the Brighton Beach race track were called to testi- fy to conditions as they found them
 It Is supposed now that Mir. Elder is building up case by means of which he may carry out the threat made by him on the first day the anti gambling law was in force. At that time he said that he wo close up all the tracks if he was not aifed by the officials in suppressing gambling. In support of his right to do so, Mir Elder quotes the case of Delaney vs. Flood in which the court or appeals upheld the right of an officer of the law to picket the entrance of gambl- ing house and warn all who attempted to enter.
 The grand jury will make a present. ment to the county court tomorrow morning and then take recess until August IS, when the Brighton Beach track will reopen. The intervening two weeks will be devoted to racing at Saratoga.

 Tt is well for the colored man to remember that it is not a sin to be democrat, nor Ia 1t an act of right eousness to vote the republican ticket. We advise our people 10 cast their votes where they will count the most in defeating the party that has proven itself to be a false friend
 Several men in this city holding high positions under the government have recently approached members of Shiloh. and of one or two other churches. who are under them and ad- vised that they put muzzle on their preachers
 Some of the members of the churches referred to above. under the inspiration of their government boss es, have threatened these preachers with trouble if they don't eschew pol- tics In their sermons, and cease their activity against the party In power

 It would seem that any man. really At to be governor, would see the fit- ness of withdrawing In the face of ex- isting opposition and releasing his bar gathers from the embarrassing situa- ton of his and their questionable pre- sumption. But If they persist, he and they together might as well understand now, that they will be held responsible for the risk of giving control of the state this fall to the democrats and with that the risk of not giving the election of President to the man this state evidently wishes for that posi- ton.

THREATENS JUDGE WITH THE MAFIA .iminal Sentenced by Rosal. sky, of New York, Declares
 Death Will Be Meted
 Out to Latter.
|INE YEARS IN SING SING
utters Threat as He Leaves Court Room-Tells Companions to Take Care of Judge
 for Him.

New York, July 27.--A convicted riminal threatened Judge Rosalsky Eith death in the court of general essions to-day after hearing pro ounced a sentence which sent him way to Sing Sing for a period of not sss than nine years and three months. The man was Cosmino Riccobono, lasterer one of three Italians who, Tn May 25, held up Samuel Edelman. messenger for the Jefferson bank at First avenue and First street, and at- empted to steal from him satchel ontaining S43,00o. It was a crime of peculiarly vicious nature.
 Riccobono listened contemptuously o what the judge said as 1t was trans ated to him by an interpreter, and when he heard the pronouncement of he court he strengthened up and ven- smously shot out two or three words n his native tongue.
 "He says the Mafia will get you for judge. who merely smiled and turned again toward the papers on his desk.
 Near the door a number of Ricco- bono's countrymen stood. AS he pass ed them, In custody, on his way to the pen he gave them a meaning look Then he said:
 He gave me ten years. Take care of him for me"
 As the words were uttered In for eign language their effect was lost on the court room or there would prob ably have been a disturbance.
 Riccobono is twenty-six years old land lived at $40 East Thirteenth street. He pleaded guilty to attempt ed robbery in the fist degree. He has been in this country nine years a little less time than his sentence calls for.
 Edelman the bank messenger, was held up on the street as he was trans ferring the money from a branch of the. Jefferson bank to the main build ing. Some pungent powder was thrown into his eyes and his wrists were hack ed but young woman living in the nelghborhood saved the day by at- tacking Riccobono fercely and hold ing him until the police arrived For her heroism she was pensioned by the bank authorities. In sentencing Roccobono, the judge said
 "T'he indeterminate sentence law makes 1t possible for this court to give you what you deserve Under the old law, I could not sentence you to less than ten years, which would mean six years and six months if you behaved yourself in jail. Under the new law this court can determine just when you shall be released"
