THE WATER LILY.

A pretty littl girl called 10 sat
weaving daisy chains on stone
steps leading down to an enchanted
river. She had been watching the
trees and the castle on the other
side of the stream, and was just
wishing she could 60. sailing when
she saw a boat leave the castle and
come sailing over toward the steps
where she sat. As 1t came nearer
she could see that 1t was made Of
flowers with butterfly wings for
sails. and in the front Of the boat
stood dear old fairy: lady, who
called, Come, jump in, my. dear,
and have a boat ride" which, of
course, 10 did at once.
They floated back toward the
castle, where 10 had a beautiful
time riding the tiny ponies and
playing in the garden.
When it was time for the little
girl to go home, the fairy told her
that she had been such a good girl
that she might have whatever she
most desired. 10 said, II would
like to always sail on the river,
love 1t So"
The fairy told her that when she
grew old she wouldn't care for the
boat riding; that it would become
very tiresome.
Then 10 wished to be a flower
blooming on or near the water.
The old lady asked her to walk
to the river shore, where she gave
her a golden cup with a fairy drink

swallowed 1t than she was changed

cloak became large green leaves.

AS BAD AS THE SOUTH.
What an Illinois Republican Paper
Says About Lynching.

The Springfield, H., Republican
SAYS if the South ever yieled up a
more horrible story of human saw
agery than comes from Cairo, ILL.,,
we do not recall it. Indeed, it is
impossible that any Southern COM
munity could have done so; for how
surpass in deviltry and bloodthirst-
ness the hanging and shooting and
burning of the victim, the soaking
of pieces OF rope In his blood, the
beheading and parade Of the head
and the cutting out Of the heart and
climbing it into pieces for souvenirs?
The only redeeming feature, as the
New York Evening Post observes, is
that the mob did not stick to the
color line. 1t butchered Whlte
murderer, too, or one charged with
murder. 1t is altogether as revolt
ing an exhibition Of human degrada-
ton as the country ever saw, or as
Illinois ever saw, and Illinois mas
of late been giving several eXhloi-
tions of the kind. The case with
which the public authority broke
down is a particularly discreditaole
feature of the case. That spectacle
of the sheriff fleeing with the prlso-
ner through woods and over hllis'
with the mob in full pursuit-hoW
hollow is shown to be the pretenslon
of Cairo to civilization worthy OF
the name. We are now to see
whether the State of Illinois can pre-
tend to anything much better
vbother the ringleaders of this
blood-hunting mob OF men and ~o-
men are to escape all punishment
fitting to their capital crime. as in
the case of other Illinois moos OF
this character.

said Mr.. Finley, when the world
will call on the American cotton
planters for 2O,0O0,O00 bales every

N1r. Finley said he did not view
with any alarm the tendency of
young people to leave the farm, but
said he believed the increased at
fractions of farm life would soon
turn the tide in the other direction.
''In viewing the figures" said Mr..
Finley, ut is not to be wondered
that those responsible for the man
agement of the railways OF the South,
seeing the agricultural advance go
ing hand In hand with the indus
trial development. should have faith
in their territory and should be striv-
ing to the utmost to increase the
carrying capacity of their lines SO
as to be able to properly handle the
increase in traffic which is sure to
come"
Mr.. Finley did not counsel the
growing of cotton to the neglect OF
other crops, but suggested that an

with the demand of the world and
that 1t be accomplished by more
intense cultivation and by the grow
ing of a variety of other crops with

SUGAR FRAUD EXPOSED
FORMER GOVERNMENT SAMPLER
is DISCHARGED
From the Service Because he Tried,
Seven Years Ago, to Secure an

Some ricsh and racy evidence is
being brought out in the investiga-
ton of the frauds perpetrated on the
government by the members of the
Sugar Trust, now going on in New
York.
On Wednesday Henry C. Corsa,
who once was employed as Gov
ernment sampler at the American
Sugar Refining Companys docks in
Jersey City, has added further inter-
esting material to the complicated
controversy surrounding the frauds
charged to the company and various
customs officials and employees.
Corsa was discharged from the
Government service seven years ago
by reason, as he believes, OF his eff
forts to obtain an Investigation. In
a lengthy interview he reviews the
obstacles he met, and recites eXpe-
riences similar in many respects to
those of Richard Parr and Edwin
Anderson, who are defending their
respective claims to being the origi-
nal exposers of corruption in the Gus
toms house.
WILDER F. Wakeman, former ap-
praiser, brought Corsa's name into
the case some time ago, when he at
tested to the fact of his discharging
after he had brought to the govern
ment's attention convincing evidence
of graft, which Corsa says was sue
cessfully pigeonholed after he was
ousted. His efforts to obtain re-
instatement Corsa adds, were aided
from time to time by Leslie M. Shaw,
former Secretary Of the Treasury,
and other prominent men, but none
of them, he declares, was able to
overcome The grip the Sugar Com
pany had on the New York customs
service, or TO get for him the en-
dorsement of George Whitehead, who
succeeded Wakeman as appraiser.
In his interview of a few days ago
Corsa set forth that he went to
washington to present his case to
Secretary Shaw, and the latter, he
says, after a long conference, said:
''I'll see that you are put back. |
could demand it right new. But.
things are working 80 smoothly be-
tween Mr., Whitehead and myself
that don't want to break in abrupt
'ly on him with this demand."'
A short time afterward, according
to Corsa, he received a letter from
Mr.. Shaw stating that Shaw found
his hands to tied that he could do
nothing. Corsa says his evidence
against the Sugar Company was to
the effect that agents of the compa-
nv had offered him bribes in return
for his assistance in substituting
sugar Of low grade in samples
taken by the government for, tests
upon which cargoes were appraised.
AS a part of this evidence, he turned
over to his superiors the money Civ
en- him as bribe.
Richard Parr, who is still deputy
surveyor of the port, said that re-
cent Investigations have shown that
one man in every FIVE among the
employees in the weighers' division
of the New York customs house has
been found implicated in the frauds
or is under suspicion of The most

 RELEASED.
WOMAN CHARGED WITH AS sAuLrING CHARLOTTE PALM
 WILL FURNISH BONDS.

As the condition of Mrs. Margerie Beck, charged with having committed an assault with 8 deadly weapon on Miss Charlotte Palm, has improved within tho past few days, it is proba. ble that bonds to the extent of $500 will be furnished today and the woman released.
 Since her attack on Miss Palm and James Bice, several days ago, Mrs Beck has been confined at a private residence, under the care of nurse When committed she was very much wrought up over the affair and as she made threats against both Bice and Miss Palm, it was thought best that she be kept in custody for awhile.
 Attorney Hill now believes that il will be safe to release her and the necessary legal steps will probably be taken at once.
 Miss Palm s condition is improving and it is thought that she will suffer no permanent injury as the result of the wound inflicted by Mrs. Beck.
 J. NJ. Bice and Charles E. Beck trans ferred their interest in lots 8 and g block 79, to Mrs. Beck, yesterday. Mrs Beck is understood to have purchased Biee's interest and had the property transferred to her in order that she might raise money for her defense.
