ChiIdren's Bureau.

There is one bill that should be passed before congress ad1ourns, if nothing else is done. It is Senator F1ints bill to establish in the depart ment of the interior a children's bu- reau.
 The purpose of this proposed bu- reau is entirely worthy, and it's possi bility for good almost unlimited. It will be charged with the duty of in- vesigating and reporting upon all matters pertaining to the welfare of children throughout the nation. It will be especially charged with the investigation of infant mortality, the birth rate, physical degeneracy, or- phanage juvenile delinquency, de- sertion, dangerous occupations, acci- dent, youthful diseases, employment. and so forth and so on. The bill has been favorably reported, mad it's pass age is practically assured, if it can be
 Every philanthropic society, individ- ual. and, organization of any consider able Importance in the United States has endorsed the bill and petitioned congress, directly or indirectly, to enact the measure into law. The proposal is humane fin intent and en- tirely specific in scope. It is sought merely to gather facts and figures of an authoritative kind, from which and upon which child life in this coun- try may be rationaliy studied, ana lyzed, and considered logically and comprehensvely. No national legisla- ton is contemplated in the Flint bill other than that outlined herein. The work sought to be put under way is purely statistical and inquisitive.

Mir. carneaie's Organs.

In this and other districts there are many organs in places of worship which would not have been there had it not been for substantial monetary gifts by MT. Carnegie. There is a good story Of a Carnegie organ be- ing purchased on the Continent, and that upon its arrival in this country it was found that the pipes had been stuffed with tobacco! Let us hope the church authorities were not privy to this smuggling. Some time ago a Ro- get S75 pounds from the millionaire towards the purchase of an instrument for his church, enquired of MT. Car negie how he came to develop his weakness for building organs. and his reply was that it struck him very often when sitting under preachers that there was a good deal of vanity and perhaps the Almighty took a. sec ond place; and he felt an organ prais- ed God for him. The priest also ques- tioned him why he only paid half the cost of the organs instead of going 'the whole hog" Mir. Carnegie's amusing answer was that on one oc- casion he agreed to pay the whole cost Of the organ, and the consequence was that the church ladies bought a building, the result being that the first time 1t was played it blew the win dow outi One would like to know where that church was, and whether it belonged to the same denomination as that of which the priest is a mem ber Probably not. or he would not have repeated the story, which, fancy, is one Of the millionaire's jokes.

How They Won the Chang

For the second season in succession the Westerly high school baseball team are high school champions of Connec- tfcut having deefated the Hartford high school team on Friday afternoon at New Haven, to 0. in the contest that settled the state championship between these two winners in the eastern and western divisions. As told in the Westerly news in The Bulletin, the champions got a welcome that shook the oysters open in the river when they returned home Friday night with the second successive cham pion- ship tucket under their belts.
 After the umpire had been called up- to settle a troublesome protest over Catcher Frank Foley. the game proceeded on Yale field before small crowd composed mostly of Westerly people who accompanied the team. Reused to the fighting point by the attempt to shut him out of the game on a protest, Frank Foley landed on the ball for a triple in the first inn ing, and scored on an error.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
RENEWED DEPRESSION. Result of Further Reports of Crop
 Damaqe.

New York, June 24.-The stock mar ket fell into depression again today under the combined influence of re- newed reports of crop damage and Wickersham's speech in Chicago.
 The close correspondence in the speculative movements in grain and stocks was seen in the course of the early fluctuations in the market. Stocks started higher and wheat start ed lower. The rains in the spring wheat territory were the dominant in fluence of both movements. When began to decline At the same time reports of extensive damage not only to spring wheat but corn began to come into Wall street in a flood.
 The manner in which the subject of government control of capitalization was treated by Attorney General Wickersham in his Chicago address seemed to- appeal with new force to operators in stocks. The circulation or advance copies of the address, subject to publication only on release, and the fact of reiteration of many arguments and contentious heard before in con- nection with the agitation of the Sub- ject did not detract from the grave importance attached to the paper. Ap- parently the determination voiced by President Taft in yesterdays state ment and indicted in the attorney generals argument to make aggres-
  sired new legislation in the coming session of congress offered a new phase of the subject. MT. WlckerSham' m'S ad- vocacy of use of the national power "to correct every evil of a public char acter which experience demonstrates to be susceptible of correction only by national legislation" was seized up on to indicate a broadening scope of government pursuit of corporations. There was a supposition that the pres sure on stocks, believed to come large ly from professional sources, had in it a provocative purpose to bring out support from the financial party cred ited with a desire to see stocks ad- vance. The arrival at his office of J. P. Morgan for the first time/after his annual homecoming was coincident with the most active selling movement of the day.
 Preliminary estimates of the weeks currency movement indicated a fur ther large Influx of cash to New-3ork from outside sources.

The Graduate of 1910.

Jokes about the graduates who know it all are out of style. The graduate of 1910 is wise enough to know that he doesn't know it all, and will tell you so if you give him a chance. The pre- conceived idea of the school or college boy or girl, based on what may have been true when educational systems were not of today's development, inn plies that the person entertaining tha ( idea has the knowit-all malady him self. It is unsafe to say that thing is true today because somebody as stunned it to be true generation ago. and may have been himself wrong at that. And, as remarked the assert ion about the graduate. even in jest has very largely gone out of fashion. The truth of the matter may be. just about as 1t has always been. that the grad uate is not any better in certain es- sertial respects than-if he were not a graduate. At the same time, he is not necessarily worse. as would be mplied by threadbare Ribes that had their vogue too icng.-Brockton Times.

Evening Dress Tyranny.

No gentleman attired in correct eve- nlng dress need fear being taken for a waiter nowadays, according to a sartorfal expert whom a Daily News representative interviewed yesterday. The discussion out of which this state ment has arisen was on the question as to whether the tyranny of evening dress" so to speak, had become great CT in recent years. The expert de- clined to agree that 1t was tyranny, but said evening dress is undoubtedly worn far more generally in these days than used to be the case. "The real fact of the matter is,' he said. that evening dress is more becoming to the Wearer than it was a few years ago. There Is more style to 1t. The cut is smarter, the lines of the figure are displayed much more advantageously and more liberty is allowed with re- gard to the waistcoat.-Leudon Daily NeWs.

amiIton Day.

IT. would be a good idea to keep in mind the fact that there VII lin al. probability be an immense crowd of people in New Britain on Hamilton day, and that on all such occasions it is necessary to resort to extreme measures to preserve order and avoid accidents. It was necessary to keeE the streets clear on Burritt day and it is so always when the crowd is large ard difficult to manage This time the crowd is likely to be larger than ever, the arrangements are not intended 70 inconvenience any one, but rather to prcvide for good order and to see that every one is protected. There is such thing as being too technical. New BrirGin has a pretty representative committee to work on the arrange ments and there is no doubt put fhst it is handling its business in an eTni- nentiy proper manner. The point in doubS seems to be the closing of oeI- tam streets. and it is proposed to -ay the matter before the common coun- cil which has exclusive power in the matter. That body will understand the situation and will undoubtedly or der the necessary streets closed so long as the safety of the people and the success of the enterprise requires it. It is better to be safe than sorry. New Britain Herald.

IN TIE JAWS OF A LION.
Thrilling Adventure in Africa.

gocd knife, a cool head and plenty of pluck were all that saved A. South African e4me warden when actually being carried off by lion. He Was preserve, writes Lieut.. Col Patterson. author of Tn the Grip of the Nyika" when a lion suddenly sprang at him through the bushes. It knocked him ~off his mount then chased after the terrified pony. which was galoping madly off. As the man was picking himself up, another lion bounced on him, and gripped him through the shoulder.
 The game ranger was dazed for a few moments by the shock, but when he came to his senses he found him- self being carried off in the maw or the lion, whose long tusks went through and through his right should CT and rendered his right arm useless.
 As he was being Jagged off fin this fashion, with his heels trailing on the ground, he gave himself up for lost, but suddenly bethought himself of an old hunting knife he carried in his wsist-belt at his right side.
 The knife was so loose in its sheath that it usually fell out on the least provocation. and even as the ranger doubled his left hand behind his back he had 8 hopeless feeling that the knife would not be there. Imagine his joy when he felt the hilt in his des- perate grip.
 III d HloHitHL the iOuks keen DlAue was poised, and a blow at the lions heart. thrice rapidly repeated, made the brute wonder what had hurt him. He dropped his wouid-be victim, eyed him with astonishment for a second as he lay beneath him, and then stag gered off into the bush.
 The moment he was out of sight the ranger struggled to his feet. climbed a tree, and before he fainted strapped himself on branch with his belt. had afa h af7 lion No. l appeared on the scene again, having failed to catch the pony He remained at the foot of the tree until the rangers dog came up and by his barking attracted the att tention of some passing natives, who drove off the lion and rescued the fainting man from the tree.
 A brief search disclosed the dead body of the lion that had attacked the ranger, stabbed to death through the heart.
