CONGRESS MARKS TIME;
AWAITING WOOL TARIFF.
Bill Will Provide for a Revenue
Tax on Product.

WASHINGTON. May 30.-Neither the
Senate nor any of its committees was
in session today, nor did the House
have anything before 1t, an agree
ment having been reached last Fri
day to meet today merely because
neither branch of Congress can adj
journ for more than three days at a
time without the consent of the other.
There will be no further session of the
House until Friday, following the
Democratic caucus on the wool tariff
bill framed by the Democratic menu
bers of the ways and means commit
tee. The Senate will Thurs
day.
Democratic representatives have been
making fruitless efforts to obtain copies
of the revised wooden schedules and
many of them are somewhat perturbed
because the committee guards its
work go secretly. Those most desir-
Gus for the schedules favor free wool
and have been given to understand that
the new bill provides for a revenue
tax on that product. They will be
heard from in the caucus, but Chair
man Underwood is convinced that a
majority of the Democrats will sup
port the bin.

THREE BOYS; ONE
BOX Of MATCHES;
DAMAGE, $1,000
bWNAE EtIUul
Crowd Cheers as Blushing Po-
liceman Rescues Dressmak-
er's Wax Figure.

Three boys, who included matches
among their play toys, yesterday aft
ernoon in East Orange caused a blaze
which resulted in about 81, 900 damage.
The boys were Eddie Levy, who had
the matches, without the knowledge of
his PARENTS; Turner Alstedt and Henry
MacLevy. Turner is the boy who Is
claimed to have started the fire against
the frame building occupied as a store
and dwelling by J. II. Lindsay, at 81
Fourth avenue. The boys all live in
Nineteenth street.
Late In the afternoon the youngsters,
who are under 10 years of age, Sc
cured some newspapers and placed
them near the corner of the building
in the back yard of the MacVey home.
Eddie had several matches in his
blouse pocket, and the pile vas light
ed. The boys realized the danger when
the fire spread alongside the building
and attempted to put 1t out but failed.
Then the fire engines came.
Next door to the hardware store of
Mr.. Lindsay is a stucco building. one
story in height, and occupied as a
dressmaking establishment, and there
was considerable excitement in this
shop when the smoke poured in. The
fire, however, did not get inside the
building. The girls employed there
were excited when the firemen started
to enter.
There was an amusing incident to
the fire. Reserveman Edward Will
Jams was one of the early arrivals, and
he entered the dressmaking establish
ment to carry out some stock. One of
the girls called to him to save a wax
figure, and when he started out the
door with II the Grove began to cheer
the blushing officer. The rest of the
forms remained inside the store.
Williams heard some one make a re-
mark about boys having run away
when the fire started, and Chief O'Neill
was old about It. He started an in
vestigation, questioning each of the
boys, with the result thai he learned
how the blaze started. The parents
of the youngsters promised that the
boys would receive a lesson not soon
to be forgotten.
There were three alarms about the
same time. The first was for an auto
mobile truck of the Green furniture
house In this city, loaded with expen-
sive furniture. There was a back
draught To the engine. and this started
a fire. 1t was e~xtinguished with ashes.
While the other apparatus was taking
care of the Fourth avenue fire Engine
No. 8 responded to an alarm at North
Park and Dodd streets. An auto truck
of the W. v. Snyder Company was
ablaze. This was quickly e%xtinguished.
Every company put No. 5 was, working
during the half-hour the three alarms
came in.

CH|LDLESS WIVES
UNDER LASH Of
MISSION PRIEST
Keen Arrangement of Race Sui.
eide Before West H0boken
Congregation.

JERSEY CITY, May 30.-Childless
women. particularly those of wealth
and high social position, got an orato-
rical blow last night when about 5000
men and women listened to the sermon
of the Very Rev. Father Isidore, of
Chicago, a missionary Of the Congre-
cation of the Passion. in st. Michaels
Monastery. in West Hoboken,
The priests language was such that
none could fail to understand. After
departing from the more ethical side of
the question he launched into what he
called plain facts. All the women in
the place bowed their heads as the
priest went on with his scathing de-
nunciation of race suicide, and several
of them were so affected by his adj
dress that they sobbed aloud.
Rap AT Clubwomen.
This work for civic betterment and
for the social advancement of the sex Is
actually taken by many women as the
limit of their obligation to Goo and to
humanity, when, as a matter of fact,
it is the least of their duties. They
take these Il ings n wrap them about
themselves as a cloak of respectable
ity and hold themselves up as paragons
of all that is good, when. in reality,
their private lives and their private
acts and their secret thoughts are bare
to the omniscient eye of God, before
whom they must stand in Judgment
Father Isidore said the meagre in
come of a husband, or the delicate
health of a wife. was no reason for the
avoidance of the duty of raising a
family.
God always takes care of his own"
said the priest. land there Is no home
so humble that He will not enter, when
1t is to be graced by the birth of a
child. There is no requirement of that
mother, or that father, or thai child
newly born, which God in His mercy
will not supply In some way or an
other. There Is no woman 80 delicate
that the divine grace will not be WIS.,
tied upon, and carry her through the
crisis which occurs when she is fulfill
ing her noblest mission.
A Great SIN.
II the married women who are lis
tening to me tonight l say solemnly
that o can advance no reasonable ar
gument against the fulfllment of your
natural duty in the world. Those of
you who object to this are guilty of I'M
speakable sin. 1t is a sin of which
female savages would not be guilty. 1t
Is an outgrowth of modern ideas and
modern conditions, which have no
basis of logic or reason. Go through
life otherwise as spotless of character
as you will. you cannot atone for your
one great sin-the greatest of all sins.
"A husband and wife who are with
out children where children are possible
are worse than any grog shop keeper,
worse than n gambler, worse than
n thief. Their certificate of wedlock
loses its significance in it's highest
sense, and the bond Of matrimony be-
comes a shadowy tie"
