know that the men and women who
are now on the pension roll represen,
more actual hard fighting, longer and
far more exhausting service than is
represented by all the pensioners on all
the pension rolls of Europe. This is a
great fact imperfectly known to any of
our people, and not known at all to the
mass of ill-informed writer's for the
press. During our four years Of war
we fought more terrific battles than all

A PRACTICAL CRIMINoLoGIsT.

Sheriff VIM. w. Worrel, of Burlington
County, N. j., is an every day, practical
reformer who Is worth tons of books
written on criminology and social prob
lems Whatever theories Mr.. Worrel
entertains he has kept them to himself,
but his practices speak in thunder tones.
When he went into office he found that
all the towns and cities in the County
were infested with tramps. The Sheriff
simply gathered these men into the jail.
and began his treatment by making
them take a thoro bath, then wash
their clothes, scrub out their cells and
clean them Immediately. There was
absolutely nothing in this to give a
handle to the voice of sentimentalists
about cruelty to the weak and erring,
but it was SO effective that the tramys
shun Burlington County az IL there was
a case of smallpox on every leaf on the
trees. Still more remarkable. it seems
that this process has been absolutely
reformatory, since the Sheriff has note
of 80 tramps who claim to have had a
new light since they were put thru the
''5NiVuo uChci 6cht PioSSSS, diiu HOW
industrious farm hands working stead
lily and satisfying their employers.
Having got rid of all these undesir-
able citizens, the Sheriff next turned his
practical mind to the next greatest nuis-
ance, the regular drunkard. When he
got hold of one of these, and he was
pretty sure to get all of them in the
course of "a few months, he put him
thru the bathing and cell-cleaning rou-
tine. and in addition fed him on an un-
changing diet of bean soup. He had a
theory. which the doctors pronounce
sound, that the nitrogenious bean was
the quickest way to supply the system
with the elements exhausted by burn
ing out with alcohol. with a good, we'll
made bean soup mans physical tone
soon built up, and he lost his craving
for stimulants. This regime has also
worked wonderfully, and tho it has been
in operation but a short time a number
of confirmed drunkards seem to be
cured at least temporarily. OF course.
it is rather monotonous to have bean
soup three times day and 21 times a
week; but, then. no restorative regime
is ever wholly palatable to the gentle.
man who is undergoing It.

A SAD DEGENERATE.

The clerical profession Is the noblest
Of all, and the great mass Of those I'm it
are doing work of unspeakable value to
the world. 1t is not strange, tho, that
in such a vast number of ministers,
priests and preachers there should be
occasionally startling illustrations of
unftness.
The people OF Columbus, Kan. are
now deeply incensed at an exhibition
Of this kind. A Baptist preacher named
Arthur Allen was invited 20 deliver the
Memorial Day address. A good deal of
blame is due the men who selected him.
His sermon was simply outrageous. He
said that he did not consider his birth
place or parentage any honor, since he
had no choice in the selection, nor did
he consider 1t an honor that he had
said that he was born in the South, and
that his parents had been robbed of
$65.000 on account of the war, which
was probably an absolute untruth. He
described the G. A. r. as the tool OF
designing men to work up evil and
saw who was miserable drunkard, a
loafer and bootlegger. Then ne de-
nounced the w. r. c. and the Ladies
of the G. A. r. as turning from their
proper missionary work to do that
which led to evil. 1t was a desecration
to devote the Sabbath to eulogizing the
survivors Of an unholy and murderous
war.
The address was so exasperating that
one man at least could not stand 1t, and
he rose from his seat and shouted: Il
don't like such preaching! The idea
of this skalawag comparing 100000 SOL
diers to a drunken old bum in Okla
homa." In spite of this being in church,
the congregation broke out in vigorous
applause. in which even the ministers
present Joined. Peace was restored by
singing ''The Reunited States" and
America"

BURNING COLUMBIA.

Gen. Horatio c. King contributes to
the Brooklyn Eagle timely refutation
Of another false inscription upon a
monument. On the monument to CAL
houn in Charleston 1t is stated that Co.
lumbia was burned by Sherman. Gen.
King absolutely denies this, and saws
that the fire was caused by Wade Hamp-
tons cavalry starting fires in the depots
and the bales of cotton piled high in
the streets. The strong wind carried
the burning cotton all over the city,
and made it impossible to save it. Gen.
Logan's troops Immediately set them
selves to work upon entering Columbia
and did their best to save Columbia
and actually did save all that was res
cued.
This matter was thoroiy gone over by
mixed commission to adjudicate the
claims Of British subjects and Ameri-
can citizens for cotton alleged to have
been burned by United States troops.
This commission was composed of Count
Cont. of Italy: Russell Gurney, member
OF Parliament, of London, and James
+. fraser, of Indiana. The commission
had over 800 pages of testimony, in
cluding that of Hampton and other
Confederate officers, and of Gems. Sher-
man. Logan. Howard, Woods and other
Federal officers. The commission unan-
imously agreed, and adjudged that the
United States troops did not burn CO.
lumbias but that It was burned by fires
started by Wade Hampton's Cavalry.
Consequently all the claims were disal-
lowed. This adjudication cannot be
successfully questioned, since It was
made by men of the highest standing,
and two of whom were foreigners hav-
ing little knowledge of and no interest
in the controversy between the Union
and Confederate Generals.

Editor National Tribune: l have

issue the stock and deeds in the Florida
Colony. you will please send mine to

simmee Valley, Florida. l made dill

interested persons. and am more than

pests are conspicuously absent in and

convinced of what he was exper Fencing
they would throng to this place.
In my opinion what we want in our
colony arc plenty of artesian wells, with
small gasoline engines, that the water
may be successfully distributed by sub
irrigation. 1 spent some time in San
ford, and am familiar with their sys-
tem The only advantage they have of
us is their being nearer sea level, hence
stronger flow.
The superior healthfulness of our sec
ton more than offsets this one claim of
theirs for success in growing lettuce and
celery 1t has been demonstrated that
the lettuce and celery raised in this re-
gion is fully equal 20 that grown at

me this Spring there was on sale in

A grave sensation was produced last
week by the strike of the japanese Ia
borers in Hawaii. 1t is alleged, and so
far there seems to be proof to sustain
the allegation, that the strikers con-
templated seizing the island and assert
ing the supremacy of the Japanese over
them. The Japanese ambassador to
this country and the Japanese Consul
General at Honolulu deny that there
was any politics in the movement, and
assert that the strike was simply an
ordinary labor trouble, with the work.
ers on the plantations striving to get a
few dollars a month more than their
present wages. OF course, any dream of
overthrowing the American authority
and transferring the archipelago to ia
pan would be idiotic. All the same,
any combined movement among the
japanese is something to excite alarm.
According to the census of 1900 there
were 29,7S7 native Hawaiians in the
Islands, 25.762 Chinese, 81. lis japanese,
and white population of 2S,533. Since
then the Japanese have been coming in
at about the rate of 5000 a year, so
that their preponderance over the
whites is very strong, and as they form
distinctly Isolated clan with their own
ideas, language and newspapers, which
it is impossible for a white man to COM
prehend, they make an element that is
full of menace.

> A grewsome story comes from the
town of Raleigh. W. Va, of lot of
italians having bought barrel of beer
and taking 1t to their railroad camp
Eight Of them died from drinking the
beer, and when the barrel was emptied
1t was found that rattlesnake had
crawled into the barrel before it was
hlled. There is room for doubt as to
the rattlesnake being the cause of death.
Snake venom is not dangerous when
swallowed, tho we would not recon-
mend II as an article of die, unless there
is some laceration or ulcer in the ston-
ach. The venom of serpents is only
dangerous when it gets access to the
circulation thru a wound. 1t is more
likely that the Italians were in a de-
bilitated condition, and their deaths
were due to filling their skins too full
of the dangerous beverage. The Incl
dent. however, opens up the Summer
snake story campaign with a bang, and
it is followed by another story from
Hagerstown, Nd, of VIM. Barnes, q
burglar, who was charged with robbine
a hardware store at Waynesboro and
with dynamiting fish in Antietam Creek
being caught by the Sheriff by the aid
of a copperhead. As Barnes was run
ming away from the Sheriff he was Bit
ten on the foot by the copperhead, and
was SO badly scared that he came back
and surrendered to the officers.
