"a pension. The retirement of civil serv-
ice employees should be put on an equally
high plane. They should not be put out
to browse in pasture like WORKOUT
horses, but should be retired with
their manhood intact, still feeling they
are men receiving only what they have
earned. and not paupers, supported by
a pension from the funds of the people.
Congress should recognize the solemn
obligation entered into when the present
law was enacted. Government employees
should not be required to stand at the
doors of Congress in the attitude of beg
gars, for it is not charity, but justice,
they ask. They are only asking Con-
gress to carry out the obligation entered
into long ago.

Welcome, Yelled Prophets.

To the members of the Mystic Order
of the Yelled Prophets of the Enchanted
Realm the people of Washington extend
a hearty and cordial welcome
1t is especially appropriate that the
Yelled Prophets should assemble here
In Washington, they come into their
own. Here, indeed, is the enchanted
realm-the city which is the Capital of
our country. Its beauty must appeal to
them. The stately buildings, the wide and
clean streets, the parks, the trees, and
the handsome and hospitable homes COM
bine to present to them the embodiment
of all that is attractive and picturesque.
Over and above all is the fact that
this is the center of the nation. Here
Congress meets to enact laws, here the
President administers the government,
and here the Supreme Court of the
United States holds its important ses-
sions. Amid all the merriment and good
fellowship that will make the conven-
ton so delightful, we are sure that the
visitors will feel sense of pride in being
for the time being residents of the Ma
tional Capital
The reception accorded the Yelled
Prophets will be both sincere and en-
thusiastic. They are more than welcome

Now it is the spirit" of Mrs. Henry
Clay Beattie. jr., who is in cOmmunica-

At least, the Society for Psychical Re

transcript OF a long statement purport-
ing to come from the dead woman. 1t

thur r. Colburn. who is a lawyer at
5G5 E street and who lives in Takoma
Park. Mr. Colburn took down the state
ment in shorthand. the medium being a
lady who has had previous experiences
in what is called the psychic state.
Mrs. Beattie, in her alleged spirit
communication, did not give any details
Of her death, but said that she was glad
to be in a place where there was no
wiCkedness. The statements were all of
q general character. The organization TO
which the communication has been re-
ferTed has not yet held a meeting. and,
except to admit that he paper had been
submitted, the officers last night de-
clined to discuss the matter.

The Maternal Instinct.

The trial judge in the famous Itch

from the bench that it was a matter of
great surprise to him that Lady Itch
borne had recognized the impoStor as
her son, when her maternal instinct
ought to have told her different" A
somewhat similar problem, in reverse
form, confronts US in the Kimmel case,
which has created such a sensation in
this country. Many friends of his youth
identify the man, but the mother alone
holds out in her steadfast belief that the
claimant is an impostOr.
The importance of the reputation of
self-asserted son by his alleged mother
may be overestimated. 1t is simply a
question of whether the maternal in
stInct is infallible We believe that
altogether too much importance is being
attached by Mrs Kimmel and other per-
sons at Niles to the fact that the man
who claims to be her son does not know
about certain small happenings which

have been in that city ever since Kim

An Opportunity for DR.. Wiley.

DR.. Wiley has a great opportunity be-
fore him in the problem of the high

The problem which DR. Wiley sug-

A Solemn OBLIGATION.

When Congress adopted the competi-
tive system of securing employees in the
civil service Of the government, it prac-
tically obligated itself to adopt a pen
sion system for retiring those who grew
old in the service The opponents OF
the Pendleton bill repeatedly pointed out
in their arguments against the bill that
its passage would sooner or later COM
pel-a pension system. This the friends
of the bill freely admitted, and it was
with the full understanding that a re-
tirement system would have to be in
augurated that the bill was passed and
became a law.
Congress is now face to face with the
condition pointed out and accepted by
Congress in 1873. To adopt a pension
system is not only an act of broad JUS
tice to the employees and to the govern
ment, but is carrying out an implied
obligation of Congress solemnly entered
into. So, the question is not a new
one, but has been before Congress and
the people for a third of a century.
Whether the employe when he entered
the service of the government knew of
this implied promise of Congress to pro-
vide for him in his old age after having
given the best years of his life to its
service or not, it was still an implied
contract that Congress is in duty bound
to carry out
That the government service would
be bettered and its efficiency increased
by retiring system no one now dis
piItes. All the Cabinet officers for many
years have given their unqualified in
dorsement of this fact They have also
declared that in their judgment such a
system would prove a matter Of great
economy. But whether it would prove
beneficial and economical to the govern
meut or not, such measure is demanded
as an act of justice to the faithful en-
ploye. 1t should not be called a pen

At Dear Old Charlottesville.

From the Kansas City Star.
Arthur Lefevre, the well-known Texas
author, said in Victoria, apropOs of the
Texas prohibition campaign:
That reminds me of happening at the
University of Virginia during my stu
dent days in "a.
There was a Baltimore freshman at
the varsity whose father got several
letters about his boys wild ways-about
his fOndness for peach and honey and
such-like heavy drinks. These letters
grieved the old man to the heart. He
wrote to the freshman. and in reply got a
general denial of all the charges.
Evidence. however. continued to pour
in, and finally the father decided on a
secret Journey to Charlottesville. He
timed himself to arrive late at night 1t
was, in fact, o'clock in the morning
when he rang the bell of his sons
boarding house.
In response to his ring a woman in
a yellow bathrobe appeared. lamp in
hand.
What do you won't" she demanded
peering suspiciously into the darkness.
Madam said the amateur detective,
is this the residence of -? And he
mentioned his sons name.

he had been roaming; and had led life
of dissipation and of crime on both
ihemispheres. Yet, he does remember
quite a few of such happenings, and he
shows a familiarity with the town which
he could hardly have obtained unless by
residing there for years. Each item of
this positive support for his claim is of
more weight than are the instances of
present ignorance of something which
somebody believes the man ought to re-
member Memory is a mysterious fac
ulty No two minds can be said to be
retentive of the same thing or class of
things. What may make permanent
impression on one memory may soon
fade from another mind
Why should Kimmel have tried this
alleged imposition? He never can get
the amount of the insurance upon
his life, since it cannot be paid until
after his demise And who will explain
how it is that he is aware of num-
Der of matters known only to intimate
relatives OF the Kimmel family, and
where he got his surprising knowledge
of the topography of the town and of
Niles history? What did he have to
gain from being recognized as an ex-
convict and from achieving such an un-
enviable notoriety all over the land If
this were a plot. he could have made
more money by concealing his identity
than by revealing and proving it.
To the unfeeling scientist there is no
such thing as maternal instinct, so far
as identifying offspring is concerned
While mother usually knows her son
better than any one else. it is because
she has better opportunities than any

Remarriase of Divorced.

Frum the Philadelphia Press.
Yet it is plain that the remarriage of
those divorced should be the subject OF
uniform legislation. A course OF deci-
sions in New York and Connecticut,
eliminating in Federal decisions, rem
ders it tOlerably certain that a woman
who endeavOrs to obtain a residence for
the purpose of securing a divorce, when
the husband refuses to be a party to
the divorce, runs grave risk in remar-
riage. A husband who obtains a divorce
by a fictitious change of residence OF
which his wife is not apprised has been
held to have failed to sever his marital
bonds and his property remained sub
ject to his wifes dover rights and his
second marriage was adjudged invalid.
Yet this is not certain in all the States
Massachusetts is almost alone in having
statute declaring void such remar-

valid change of domicile.

Overcrowded Schools.

From the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
Philadelphia, like many another large
city. is forced to put some of its school
children on half time for lack of adequate
housing accommodations. If the children
Of the first two years of school life were
regularly put on half time there would
be a saving in the housing requirements,
and probably. as good results in the de-
veIopment of the pupils. A great part of
school time in these first two years is
nothing but play time, and it might be
as we'll spent out of school as within, as
suming, of course, that parental discipline
is equal to that of the school

Poverty I'm New York.

From the New York World.
Only two families in every 100 of the
1,573 which have been in the care of
the Association for Improving the Con-
dition of the Poor this summer were
brought to poverty through intemper-
perance. The percentage goes against
preconceived notions and is indeed sur
prisingly small. 1t should disturb that
prosperous complacency which sees in
poverty only or mainly the penalty of
wanton misdeed. The associations report
for 1903 showed that intemperance, i'm
prisonment, desertion, "shiftlessness, and
ineficiency," all told. accounted for not
II per cent OF those brought to want.
The figures for that year showed that
60 per cent of the poverty was due TO
two causes-sickness and unemployment.
This summer the two causes account for
IS per cent OF the poverty noted, and
q per cent, or nearly half. was due to
sickness.

A Mean Man.

From the Topeka Capital
Prof. John Dewey. of Columbia, was
talking about a legislator who had
turned traitor to the suffrage cause
"A man who could be so mean to
woman" he said. must be the origi-
nal of Clayton Jail story.
"A convict in the Clayton jail. you
know, managed to do a little flirting
over the wall. He flirted for some
weeks with a girl who milked the cows
in a field adjoining the Jail, and one
evening he called to her, and they
struck up a conversation.
Every day after that, for a year OF
more, the girl came to the wall. Then
the convict, getting tired of her, told
her it was no use waiting for him, as
he was in for life"

A Good Cleveland story.

From the London Tid-bits.
When Grover Clevelands little girl was
quite young. her father once telephoned
to the White House from Chicago and
asked Mrs. Cleveland to bring the child
to the phone.
Lifting the little one up to the In
strument, Mrs. Cleveland watched her
expression change from bewilderment to
wonder. and then to fear. 1t was surely
her fathers voice, yet she looked at
the telephone incredulously.
After examining the tiny opening In the
receiver, the little girl burst into tears.
"oh, mamma" she sobbed, how can
we even get papa out of that little
hole?'

When Congressman Underwood was in.

he was named as "Alabama's candidate
for the Presidency" Just to show that
he was already elected. so far as the State
was concerned. the crowd cheered rap

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.
BY A. w. MACY.
A GREAT ADMIRAL WHO DIED
POOR,


POOR.
In these days of vast fortunes,
when the struggle for wealth is
so strenuous, II. is refreshing to
read about Admiral Flake, of the
British navy. Few men have had
more or better opportunities to
become rich than he. His career
as an admiral was very brilliant.
Hegwon many victories over the
Dutch, the Spaniards. and the
Portuguese. He swept the Medi-
terranean clear of pirates, and
restored commerce to its normal
activity. It was under his pen
non that England first attained
supremacy of the seas In the
battle of santa Cruz, on the island
of Teneriffe, he destroyed the
Spanish feet "amid whirlwinds
of FIRE and iron hail" and cap
tured. it is said, thirty-eight
wagon loads of silver. Yet he
never profited financially by his
victories, and when he died IN
1867, his estate amounted to less
than $4,000.
