Ihe governor was expected to talk
about cotton. but instead he devoted
most OF his time to the lynching Of a
negro who had been accused OF at
lacking a white girl. The mob which
lynched him was led by Joshua Ash
ley, a member of the legislature.
Governor Blease was warned nv the
sheriff that the negro might he lynch-

Before Judge Lindsay's time, ju.
venile criminals were treated both in
court and in punishment just the
same as the hardened adult In crime.
If a boy stole he was tried by the
same rules and was subjected to the
same punishment as the man who
stole. The difference in his mental
power and the influences which would
change his character were not rec.
oenized by law. Judge Lindsay intro
duced a new method in court. When
the young criminals were brought he
fore him charged with crime, he laid
aside his judicial poise and became
a fatherly chum of the accused. He
talked with them about the orense,

1.-THE man who reaches the $4,000

The corporation which has taken
over so many American industries and
investments has developed a wholly
new phase Of usefulness. The leKisla-
ture of New York has been asked Ia
grant Il charter for the incorporation
OF family interests. under which the
whole Dam family or Jones family, or
financial issues. buy, sell and trade as
a corporation. with its varied financial
and industrial activities responsible ia
the stockholders and their duly consti-
tuted directors.

OF business have 81 piqued the atten-

tiles OF a novel plan.

during a single generation with pros.
poets Of continuing the integrity Of a
family's riches with only a fair in
crease is deemed worthy Of careful
scrutiny. As for the great fortunes, it
a been suggested repeatedly that
some such pooling Of family issues
might Keep them intact where disinte-
grafton seems always to lie in wait
just around the corner.
The pioneer charter proposed in
New York is rather modest in its func-
lions. 1t aims to keep the family
united. to relieve want among the
members. to promote sociability. to
pay sick and other benefits, to prove
accident. life and fire insurance and
to conduct such business enterprises
as may be considered likely to prove
profitable for the stockholders.
n granting Of such a charter
should practically open the way to the
conduct of any legitimate industrial
or commercial or financial enterprise
on the basis of a family corporation,
with the holding of such stock limited
strictly to those who own kinship to
the parent family.
Whether 1t would infallibly promote
sociability is an altogether doubtful
question for it would be a mighty poor
brand OF sociability that could be pro-

awakening Of a business conscience in

The old motto Honesty is tho best

a beautiful sentiment, Is coming to be
more of a practical reality.
The ten-thousand-dollar man must
be honest. The day has come when
to be honest means not technically,

honest-honest in thought, in purpose,
in act. Man is still selfish, and this
must be seriously reckoned with in

Tic Travelling Salesman.

The coming engagement of "The
travelling Salesman" James Forbes
comedy success at the Metropolitan
on Friday. January S. can truly be
called one OF the big theatrical events
OF the present season.
The first act Of 1.-The Travelling
Salesman" shows the interior Of a
railroad depot at Grand Crossing. a
little town in the middle west. It is
here that Bob Blake, the travelling
salesman. makes the acquaintance Of
Beth Elliott. the pretty telegraph
operator and ticket agent. Beth is
possessed Of a barren and untillable
piece Of land. which suddenly becomes
OF immense value because It is neces-
sary to a scheme of improvement the
railway company desires to carry out.
Martin Drury, who is Blake's employ-
er. becomes possessed Of the knowl-
edge that the railroad company Is to
make the improvements. and attempts
to defraud the girl Of the property
ing the sale Of land for unpaid taxes.
1t is Blake's aim to defeat the scheme,
and the predicament in which he finds
himself through his impetuous and
misguided efforts furnishes the neces-
sary dramatic thread for Mr.. Forbes
comedy. which aims chi>rv at a
humorous exposition Of the character.
istics OF h knight Of the grip"
The second act which takes place in
Blake's room in the village hotel, is
said to be M Of the funniest. ever
staged. 1t represents a hotel sample
room and shows the "drummers" pok-
er game in full swing.
The Travelling Salesman" scored
an unquivocal in New York
and Chicago in which cities 1t ran
for over a year. The company pre-
sentiEg the play this season is a most
capable aggregation Of actors Of ex-
cellent artistic reputation ana the
scenic equipment leaves nothing to be
desired.
