Congressman A. j. SABBATH is the
man who some time ago announced his
belief that the bestowal of great Amer
lear fortunes upon foreign noblemen
by their marriage with American wom-
en- involved an economic waste which
ought not to go unchecked. says New
York Evening Sun. He therefore in
troduced a bill in congress providing
Tor a substantial export tax upon such
dowries. By some curious bad luck
the bill got mislaid in committee and
has not been heard from since. But
Congressman Sabath's idea did not get
lost. He took 1t with him, took it
out and rubbed 1t on his sleeve and
looked at 1t in all his spare moments,
showed 1t to his friends and talked
about 1t. Consequently the idea has
grown and ampliled under .considera-
ton, many persons have written let
ters to him in praise Of it, and so,
though lost to sight, its memory has
beer kept very dear and green indeed.
The final result is that the congress
man has prepared a much b~roadened
Dill. which he is going to introduce.

People Realize the Dancer.

AS an indication of the force of the
crusade against tuberculosis, the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis, in a bull
letin issued recently points to the fact
that while 53.5 per cent. of the ex-
penditures for tuberculosis in 1909
were made from public resources, APP
preparations made for 1910 indicate
that over rs per cent. of the money
to be spent this year will be from fed
eral, state, city and county funds. In
1909, out of the $3.50 ,621.5 so spent for
the prevention and treatment Of tu-
b~erculosis, $780, 1900 was spent
from public money, and s3,S17, Stat
from funds voluntarily contributed
For the carrying on of state, federal
and municipal tuberculosis work in
1910, over s 100000 has been appro-
priated. OF this sum, the state legis-
latures have granted $4,000 900, the
municipal and county bodies, $685.!
800 and the federal government,
$1,000, 000.

Poor fuel makes a poor fire. and a

little town in Missouri.

Why His Mother Mourned.

william M. Fogarty has a story
about a good old Irish woman whose
son was about to start for a trip
around the world.
She had watched him prosper with
pride. To her he was a great man.
In her fond vision she could see all
sorts of terrible tidings coming to him
but she held her peace until he had
started for the journey. Then she be-
gan to cry. A neighbor tried to on
sole her, but to no avail.
Tn afraid he hasn't the money to
get back" said the mother, weeping.
Hes got the money to go round the
world all right, but how will he ever
get back?"-Indianapolis Star.

where Lincoln was struck down by
the hand OF. the assassin, and the
plain brick house opposite to which
the wounded man was removed and
where he died. However, there are
other buildings yet more interesting
in some respects which are almost u n
known to sight-seers.
Prominent among these is Lincoln's
church. A large portion of the public
has always had the impression that
Lincoln was not much of a church
goer and indeed the edifice known as
the New York Avenue Presbyterian
church in Washington is the only
place of worship intimately associated
with Lincoln. This stately old church
which stands less than three blocks
from the White House presents to-day

MERITS OF THE CITY.

Nearly all civilization is the product
OF the city, where mind meets mind
and each becomes brighter from con-
tact, says New York Weekly. Masses
of population may engender great
vices, but they also engender great
virtues, and II they do not produce,
they certainly develop the finest ana
keenest intelligences that we have
The little town-states of Greece Gre
ated most Of the ancient civilization
that is worth having. and after they
fell and the dark ages came in 1t was
the little c~ity-republics of Italy that
brought light, learning and mercy back
to the world. Some of the blacklist
crimes are committed in the country.
Conan Doyle has Sherlock Holmes. IN
one OF his best stories, point out this
fact. 1t was a clever touch and 1t Is
true. The country man is not more
honest than the city man, although he
may lack opportunities. Flaubert and
Balzac have drawn grim pictures OF
sordid n in the rural life OF
France; Tolstoi has done as much for
Russia, and Sudermann, lbsen n
Hardy have told similar black stories
of their own countries. The recent re-
port of the commission on country life
showed considerations which left very
much to be desired in the way of i'm
provement.

TRENTON, March l5.-New Jerseys
law makers, who have feared local op-
tion legislation, had scare last night
when Mr.. Tatem, of Camden, by request,
introduced in the House an out and out
prohibition bill. There was no half way
about it, and it came from the chair
man OF the Prohibition State committee,
George B. Haven, of Collingswood, where
Mr.. Tatem resides. At the time the bill
was offered, Mr.. Heritage, of Gloucester,
submitted petition signed by neigh
bors in which he was informed 1--WE are
watching you and expect you to repre-
sent the State" The petition explained
that Mr.. Heritage was expected to vote
for local option. He will, and for pro-
hibition, too, If the Tatem bill is re
ported.
The Tatem measure stipulates that if
one fifth of the legal voters of any coun.
ty want prohibition they shall apply to
the court and late may be set for a
hearing. Arguments will be heard then
regarding the status OF the signers of
the petition to the court, and if the lat
ter is satisfied regarding this call for
special election may be issued. The
date may be within six months after
the issuance OF the call and may not be
called for time within sixty days of
any general election. If the majority
vote is for prohibition then there may
be prohibition in the county where the
vote was cast Ii the prohibitionists
cast minority vote, however, then they
are obliged to remain quiet for two
years, when they can sound the same
cry once more.
