five fraternities and five sororities, the
older and larger fraternities, to which
no objection could be made" he said
He continued to explain that all the

and inferior imitation" fraternities- He
declared that the council was anxious
to do all in its power TO correct the
evils" of the lesser orders.
The superior attitude Of Manley and
his proud fraternities did not move

they had no intention of breaking the

be their policy in other districts of

CAN'T BARTER CHILD
IN PAYMENT OF DEBT,

NEW YORK. Feb. ia child cannot
be bartered to settle a debt, according to
a decision just rendered by Justice Green
baum, in the supreme court here. The
case before him on a writ of habeas cor
pus and involved Four ears-Old Hanna
Blume, the daughter of Moses Blume and
wife, who are destitute. The Blunles
about year and a half ago, left the lit
tie girl in charge of a Mrs. Jennie Cohen,
after making arrangements to pay s.
weekly for her care.
The father, finding himself out of work,
was unable to meet the payments as
agreed and when, after few months
he acquired some money, which was pre-
scented to Mrs. Cohen for payment, Mrs.
Cohen announced that, not having re-
ceived what was due her, she had sold
the child to Mr.. and Mrs. Frank c. Duell
for $50. Mr.. and Mrs. Duell fatty refused
to give up the child, and as the little
girls parents had since moved to San
Francisco, relatives here began habeas
corpus proceedings to recover her.

Where VIII the Pension Business
End Up?

A few weeks ago, at morning session
of congress five hundred new pensioners
were placed on the roll. AS fast as their
names could be read out they were fast
ened on to national strong box, to draw
out eight or twelve dollars per month, so
long as they live. These claimants had
been unable to get their claims through
the natural channel, (the pension bureaW
because they could not present a good
title to the claim, but they put pressure
on their representatives and they showed
them through congress About one hour
of the session, here alluded to, will de-
plete the taxes of this country, over $780,
900 annually, for fifty years perhaps.
This session of congress has perhaps
added a hundred thousand of such names
to the pension roll, and it is only a
three months session at that.
This continual padding of the pension
rolls has been going on more or less ever
since Appomattox. 1t bids fair to con-
sumo every surplus dollar before we see
the end to the drain. There are more
pensioners on the roll today than were
in service during the civil war, and there
seems to be a new crop always coming
In sight When the pension attorneys
who are assiduous in their efforts cannot
get them in then these claims are log
rolled through congress, and there was
nobody brave enough TO get on thelr Ieel
and say Men and brethren, what must
we do to be saved!' or Have mercy on
the men who must pay these bills!
The country is now facing deficit of
over s64,OO0,0O0 We are short that much
in revenues right now, and 1t Will be
more than a hundred millions when the
fiscal year ends on July list, unless
miracle occurs.
Our public business is managed in a
shameless, spendthrift way. Everything
is grabbing at the treasury, and the OLD
proverb says: "A wilful waste will make
a woeful want"
Patriotism has become lost art. 1t Is
the almighty dollar they are after and
they aim to chase 1t down and the
d. take the hindmost.

there were symptoms of insanity, ae-
cording to his doctors published words.
.nere were threats of suicidal Intent,
according to statements OF others near
TO him and with him every day. The
mistake OF allowing him the opportunity
to kill himself in view OF such facts
is apparent. He was very unfortunate
in being familiar with other suicidal
TRAGEDIES in his own city.
Such familiarity with suicide sustains
my contention as to this theory OF cpl
demic insanity. Mr.. Jones mind was
unduIy Influenced by suicides which had
occurred within the past two or three
years in the city OF Macon. When he
was in good health he evidently pom
dered the matter. When he was sick
and grew apprehensive he brooded over
II. Unaccustomed to physical pain, he
magniied his condition as to its final
result. He rebelled at pain.
But above everything, there was the
example OF other notable suicides al
most within a stones throw OF him, and
then the crash came!
There is a lesson 10 the living in the
strenuous life OF these various self
Alllings, so painfully frequent nova
days.
Human machines are surprising In
their strength and general durability
and doctors can repair these machines
IN many astonishing ways, but the
mental part OF the machine seems to
defy the skill OF the best of them in
the most of cases.
There is timidity in handling the suf-
aerers. There is oftentimes too long a
wait on developments. 1t is plain 70
everybody now that the kindest thing
which could have happened for Mr.
Jones land his valuable life to family
and community would have beer
prompt confinement, out OF reach of
death-dealing weapons.
Again, IL is evident that he strenu-
ously overtaxed himself. He ran his
human machine too fast. Like the mad
rush Of automobile racers, he was go
ing at a gait that made the first slight
obstruction in his path give him q
mortal blow.
Natures laws will be observed sooner
or later Common prudence will indi-
cate a showdown when there is toe
much pressure and too many undertake
ings-but, OF course, If warnings are
disregarded the inevitable is sure to
happen! Who can save them from
themselves? The Central City is sorely
bereaved in these manifold calamities
Gloom hangs like cloud over many OF
the best homes and best people OF that
noble city The situation needs heroic
treatment and a remedy for what Is
demonstrated to be epidemic suicide.
