LIVES THE SIMPLE LIFE.
CHILDREN SUPPORT HIM
Man and Family of Four Sub
SiSt on Six Cents
a Day.

Special CabIegram to The Star.
LONDON, November 25.-Within half a
dozen miles of the wealthiest city In the
world there has dwelt during the past
two months, a man who lived the simple
life on cents day. His home was on
the Essex marshes, half a mile to the east
of Custom House station, where he built
a hut of the most primitive description
ii was constructed of hoops and sacks and
rags-besde a stream which meanders
through the pasturage Of a sympathetic
or tolerant dairy farmer.
Children in Diminutive Hut
A few yards distant from this hut was
another OF even more primitive construc-
ton. 1t was about four feet high and
four feet broad and six feet long. In it
four children lived, sleeping at night with
nothing save some old sacks between
them and mother earth. and that earth
often soaked with rain.
The man himself lived in comparative
luxury. reveling in the warm glow OF
fires of coke gathered by the children
from refuse heaps on the marshes.
Rentless and taxproof, this man Of the
marshes found life much less of burden
than the workers his method being TO
live on the simplest of fare. This was
supplied to him mainly by the children
for whom he had provided the luxury OF
the four foot by six rain-saturated hut.
Become the Bread Winnrs.
These children piled up the revenues OF
the family circle from the disposal OF
coke picked up for nothing and sold.
Out of the return for the work OF Their
busy little hands on the rubbish heaps
the man was able to buy the following
daily list of delicacies: Bread, l cent,
milk, cent: butter. cent; oatmeal. L
cent: sugar, cent; tea dust, salt, 1 cent;
total, 6 cents.

the Alexandria police department was
made at o'clock this afternoon in the
police court room all of the members
of the department were in attendance,
but there was only one commissioner
August Oehlert. and Mayor Paff pres
ent to witness the inspection. Every
thing was found to be in a satisfac-
tory condition. The members, it was
announced, had abandoned the idea Of
procuring the drop-visor caps for the
winter and instead will continue to
wear old helmets. This action was de-
cided upon because most of the men,
bers of the department have already
purchased their winter helmets.
4 recent resolution passed by the
board of police commissioners was to
the effect that the police procure caps
if the majority had not already OBJ
tanned helmets

VATE READ that the fight between the city and

Company over the abolishing Of strip tickets
has had the effect of discouraging an industry in
volviug a large outlay Of capital from locating
here II is said that those interested fear that the
capital of outside investors would not be safe here
that they might be deprived Of their charter rights
This is interesting and amusing. 1t has been long,
very long, since big industry located here, and
The Journal would like to see one come

capital would not be safe in Delaware, foreign cap
ital at least is brand new kind Of fear and goes
ahead Of any of the large and varied assortment
Of business fears that one may read Of in the New
York Sun.
Capital not safe in Delaware? Nonsense Della
ware not conservative? II is to smile. Didn't the
Single Takers spend large amount OF money and
conduct vigorous campaign for a long time In
this state with the object of making Delaware
more radical? They hardly created an impress
sion.
There is no other state In the union in which
capital is safer than in Delaware We should like
TO know the place where this mysterious manu-
facturer intends 10 locate, where he could find
more conservative state. If this manufacturer
feared for the safety of his capital In Delaware,
had doubts about our laws, we fear he would be
afraid 10 walk down Market street for perhaps the
sun might fall upon him.

EDITORIAL OPINION

is an emblem of good fortune. Most
of us will stop on the road to rescue
one from the dust. We have a hazy
notion that somehow this discarded
equine footwear will bring us luck.
We nail it up on the shed door and
wait for the fairies to begin deliver
ing their gifts.
II it is left Icing in the road there
Is no telling how soon we shall lose
money or break a limb or meet some
other calamity, The old superstition
comes out of a remote past. II is part
of an early belief that the horseshoe
was a protection against witches. Is
said that for this reason a horseshoe
was at one time nailed over nearly
every door in London. What value
now really inheres in Dobbin's old
shoe that you so carefully carry
home? The value of the old iron
that you have saved; the amount that
the junk man will give you for your
treasure--no less and no more. AS
a guarante of fortune you may as we'll
have nailed up an oil can or a scrub
bing brush. We are led into a dis
cussion Of luck, a subject on which
not all of US doubtless will agree. We
make bold to ask whether there really
is any such thing.
May we rightly speak Of chance in
/ this universe? Does anything ever
merely happen? OF course, the whole
spirit Of present day thinking an
swers no. If there is one thing OF
which modern science is convinced il
is that the universe is one of law.
Every effect is preceded by a cause
Nothing, absolutely nothing, comes
to pass without adequate ground
/ deep down in the texture of thl
universe. And If all this is true o.
nature, Il is true also OF human ma
ture. Chance is ruled out of the mora
world no less than out of the physi
cal. OF course we must notice tina
some meet constant success in thil
world while others meet equally con
slant failure. Some find life a lonl
hard way, while for others it is ros
strewn. It is bad theory and baC
practice both to sit around waiting
for luck to bring US our desires
Success comes TO those who fulfil
right conditions. We gain the prize
of life for which we are willing Il
pay In terms Of labor, selfdenial an
, persistence"

Asleep

AT9T great deal of interest was manifested by
Y our manufacturers in the conference be-
tween the State Revenue Commission and the
manufacturers the other evening az the Board of
Trade rooms.
II is now said that some Of the manufacturers
do not seriously object TO the tax against which
others have been protesting. However that may
be, II is evident that other matters relating TO the
manufacturing interests of the city are likely TO
come up at any time If the manufacturers do
not STIR themselves IN considering these questions
how can they expect other people to interest them
selves?
For instance, a commission has been appointed
to frame an Employers Liability law Delaware
is likely to have such law and it is time for the
manufacturers to give thought TO the matter. 1t
will not do to have a grand furry and confusion
at the wind-up, such as we had over the Woman
factory Inspector Bill All the interests concerned
IN the proposed new law should at least consult
together long before the Legislature meets.

SAMUEL ALDRICH.

Newark Post.
In the death of Samuel Aldrich,
Glasgow and vicinity loses a forceful
character He was a foremost citizen.
His advice, his quiet, strong influence
will be missed Born and reared in
the community, he lived plain sim
pie life, exerting an influence that
was useful and winning a respect we'll
deserved.
His place Of business was the coun-
try store typical of half century ago.
Here gathered the town folk, farmers
and laborers. Here every topic OF
community and public interest was
discussed. Mr.. Aldrich in his quiet life
found time TO inform himself on the
questions Of the day. Away from the
crowd of hustling commercial life, he
took a keen interest in all public ac-
tiyities and exercised cool judgment in
formulating his opinions.
Into these discussions, he entered
and by strength of knowledge gained
by much reading and force of char
acter, he moulded opinions to no small
degree. His advice was eagerly sought
and, always interested, this was glad
ly given. Interested in the church, he
served many years as official in the
Presbyterian Church Of his town Fol-
over twenty-five years, he was active
in the public school work. n politics
he was a strong Republican. Never ag'
gressive, yet he welded q power
stronger perhaps than any man in the
community. AS State Senator, he wor
the admiration Of his associates, botf
Republican and Democrat. His inde
pendence, cool judgment and stronl
sense for right won him friends amonl
many of the leading men Of the State
His opinion Of Pencader conditions
was usually considered final.
His was an interesting personality
his life an influence for good.
To visit the village OF Glasgow ant
not stop 10 see Mr.. Aldrich will in
deed seem odd. Yet long will friend
remember the harpy traits of tina
pleasing and sturdy character.

NO SEAT: NO FARE.

II HE question of whether passenger on rail
u way train is entitled to a seat for his ticket
has been decided in favor of the passenger by a
jury in a Circuit Court in Washington which
awarded the complaining passenger $3.50 in
damages.
While on one Of the Norfolk and Western trains,
Mr. Frank w. Jones refused to give up his ticket
unless he was furnished a seat He was arrested,
and subsequently he brought suit against the COM
pany for damages II is said that the railway
company will appeal the case and it would be
we'll If the Supreme Court should pass upon the
matter.
Railroad companies should be compelled 10 fur
nish passengers with seats. In nine cases out OF
ten there is legitimate excuse for their failure
TO do so.
