PALLADIUM WANT ADS PAY.
Advocates Injunction Against
Drinking in Ten Commandments

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 25.-Following
closely on the announcement of the
new religion" fostered by President
Emeritus Eliot of Harvard university,
comes the statement by Thomas Nixon
Carver. professor of economics in the
same institution, that the ten COM
mandments ought to be edited or added
to, that some OF them have outgrown
their usefulness and should be rewrit-
ten to meet the wants of the more
modern conditions existing today.
While this suggestion has nothing In
common with DR.. Eliot's views, it ad-
vocates h remodeling OF the tenets
of the old religion to cover the vices
that have sprung up during b life of
b New Testament. This comes from
a man who has spent a lifetime in the
study Of political economy and soci-
ology, rather than in the pursuit of
philosophy.
Professor Carver believes that as 3

uplifting OF America and its people.

light and under the same divine in

Finds Bees Better Play
mates Than Little Children

Trenton, N. j., Oct. 25.-John B.
Wroth, Jr., the eight-year-old son of
John 8. Worth, a prominent Trenton
business man, prefers bees to children
playmates, and the little fellow never
tires of making companions of the in
sects. Although his parents are fear
full that he might suffer severely in
case the bees attack him, he has not
the least fear in this direction, and
has lever suffered any injury.
Mr.. Worth, prompted by his sons
owe for bees, started to raise these
insects. He followed the suggestions
of experts and vas successful. While
the father fears serious consequences
if he disturbs the bees, his son holds
them in his hands by the hundreds
and assists a man employed for the
purpose Of caring for them.

If a bee be injured Or killed, the lit
tie fellow cries as if his heart would
break. He loves to handle these
honey-making insects, and only laughs
when warned to be careful while play
ing with them.
The little fellow is envied by all the
children in the neighborhood because
he is able to handle the bees as if
they were playthings. The children
will not even dare enter the Worth
yard, although Johnny has invited
them on numerous occasions to be-
come acquainted with his playmates.

Government Putting Up Mod
ern Station at Cape Hinch-
inbrOOk Now.
COST WILL BE $125, 900
LANTERN OF TWENTY THOUS-
AND CANDLE POWER Is IN
STALLED AND WILL BE VISIBLE
TWENTY MILES AT SEA,

Cordova, Alaska, Oct. &c. w.
Leick, chief draughtsman of the engi-
neering department in charge of light
house construction for Alaska, has re-
turned to this city on the lighthouse
tender America from Cape Hinchin-
brook, where the government is at
present erecting a light. To shipping
men Mr.. Leick explained the high class
of light which the government is erect
ing at this important point, and much
qualification is felt for the protection
which this light will offer.
In speaking of the character of the
light, Mr.. Leick said the main building
is to be two stories high, built in a hec.
tagon or oblong shape, with the light
tower in the center, which is to be built
of reinforced concrete. The building
is to be thoroughly modern in every
respect. On the lower floor will be
baths and l%avatories, engine room,
work shop, store rooms and a tank
room for the storing Of oil.
The second floor is to be used for the
living rooms of the keepers. There
are four bedrooms, sitting and dining
room, kitchen and pantry. The entire
building will be heated by a hot water
plant. The water supply comes har-
messed by a huge concrete cistern Of
$4,000 gallons capacity, situated under
ground to prevent freezing in winter.
About forty feet from the main
building is a small fireproof structure
in which paints and oils will be stored.
A complete set of carpenter and ma
ychinist tools will be carried and supply
of lumber. ST that the station will be
equipped to repair any ordinary dam
age.
The light proper at the top of the
concrete tower is twelve feet in diane
ter and eighteen feet high, constructed
principally of plate glass. The light
will be of the third class order. blu.
with new improvements which gives it
the same power as the first order light.
1t is a white flash light with at least
30.GOo candle power, and can be seen
at a distance of twenty to twenty-five
miles at sea.
In connection with the light is a
huge fog signal or air siren, which is
operated by two coal oil engines, and
an air compressor, and during fog or
thick weather can be heard many miles
at sea.
When the lighthouse is completed
and accepted by the government, Mr..
Leick stated, it will be the finest equip
ped light along the Alaska coast ana
cost approximately S125.OO0.
Owing to the recent loss of a scow-
load of materials containing the plate
glass, light, copper plates and a lot of
lumber, the permanent light will not
be completed this fall, as expected. A
temporary light will be maintained
however. which the shipping men are
very thankful for.

CHILD LABOR EVIL.
PitifuI Condition Of Infant ToiIers In
Southern States.

PitifuI Condition Of Infant Toiiers In
Southern States.
At a recent session Of the national
conference of charities and correc-
tons in Buffalo A. ]. McKelway of
Atlanta, secretary of the national child
labor committee for the southern
states, attacked the institution of child
labor in the south. He denied that
fewer children are being employed in
the south, saying in part:
1.-THE American intelligence appreci-
ates the evils of the systematic racial
degeneracy, perpetual poverty. growth
of illiteracy. the disintegration of the
family, the increase of crime. the low
ering of the wage scale and the swell
ing army Of unemployed.
The oyster packing industry in the
south is extensive along the gulf
coast. The wages today are below the
standard of American living, and the
workers are mainly Bohemians brought
from Baltimore. During the summer
season they are employed in the fruit
and vegetable canning industry of
Maryland. The communities where
they are employed testify to the pitt
full plight in which the workers often
find themselves. Their children are
numerous and from eight years old
Inc upward are employed in shocking
the oysters piled upon tram cars after
having cen run through a steam
heated chamber. Out Of one force of
$50 hands at work I counted thirty
five children not over ten years old
apparently. From the peculiar condi-
tons Of their employment they have
absolutely no chance for an education.
The cigar industry in Tampa. Key
West and to a lesser degree in Rich
mond. Petersburg and Danville. Va.
employs a large number of children.
In Tampa alone the number of chill
dren under fourteen years increased
in two years from a few score to more
than a thousand. Formerly only Span
ish and Cuban children were employed.
but now a great number of the native
white people of Florida have moved
to Tampa that their children may
learn this trade. The inevitable effect
will be the lowering Of the wage scale
In what is now a high waged indus

mills are conspicuous for the employ

be concealed. and the children are too

abuse of childhood"
