PREFERS DEATH TO WORK.

TO Suicide.
Philadelphia, June 22.-Because her
education had been neglected and she
had been forced to take employment IN
knitting mill to earn a meager pit,
tance, seventeen-year-old Jennie Con
very swallowed carbolic acid in her
sisters home, at 1909 Parrish street,
and died in a few minutes.
Since the death of her parents the
girl had bewailed the lot in life which
made 1t necessary for her to go out
In the world and work. Timid and of
temperament that shrank from the
world, the girl brooded over her fate.
She became respondent at times, the
sister says, because her educational
advantages had been limited, and that
she was therefore unable to make her
living like girl friends who are en-
ployed as stenographers and clerks.

BIG TARIFF FIGHT BEGINS.
Senate Regulars outvoted on Wool
Revision Bill.

neViSioT Dill
Washington, June 22.-Senate Dem
ocrats, Republican insurgents and near
insurgents combined and by vote Of
80 to IS passed motion referring the
Underwood wool revision bill, which
had just come from the house of repre-
to report 1t back to the senate not
later than July 10.
The action of the senate probably
means a general revision of the tariff
with the prospect Of the special ses-
sion being prolonged until Oct. 1.
The result of the vote had hardly
been announced when Senator Penrose,
chairman of the finance committee,
had issued a call for special meeting
Of the committee for today. It was
said that Chairman Penrose would not
wait until July 10, but would report
to the senate at once and adversely,
not only the Democratic wool revision
bill. but the farmers free list bill,
which also has been passed by the
house. If Senator PenrOse succeeds
in carrying out this plan he will
simply forestall the action of the com
bination now in control of the senate
which has already planned to force a
report ON the farmers free list bill.
Senator Gore of Oklahoma, Demo
crat, started the regular Republicans
in the senate by moving that the I'm
derwood wool revision bill be referred
to the finance committee with instruc
tions to report back to the senate by
July 10.
Many Republican senators were alb
sent and hurry up calls were sent out
to rally the stand pat forces against
this attempt to precipitate the WOO
revision fight in the senate.

BLIND PIGS AND BOOTLECGERS

Why cannot the town and coun-
ty authorities take effective steps
to rid Middletown of the illicit
rum selling that is being done
both here and in Hamtown, the
colored outside suburb?
1t is claimed that agents of a
notorious colored man have long
been doing q big business in that
line here in MiddletoRn.
One of his lieutenants, Peg.
legged Tom" has been sent to
the work-house, though the dis.
reputable boss himself has always
managed to wriggle out of the
tolls.
Large quantities of liquor in
barrels have been seen unloading
after midnight from a wagon in
HamtoWn, and it is said that in
q number Of places, both here in
MiddletoWn and there, the liquor
is being disposed of by colored
men.
This traffic in cheap, poisoned
liquor is fearfully demoralizing to
onr young colored men; Injuries
the farmers in their work and is
in every way curse to the whole
community. The hazards of this
illegal liquor business requires
the unscrupulous vendors, to
a1ulterate their vile stuff, and
thus doubly rob their foolish pa.
irons in purse and health too.
One would think that the deal
ers who pay big sums for the pri-
vilege of selling liquor, would
find tito their interests them
selves to suppress it privately.
