MONEY AND MARRIAGE.

Some years ago story went the
rounds of the press concerning a
melancholy New York bachelor who
not only believed that marriage was
an honorable state, but wished to en-
ter therein and was deferred simply
by the insufficiency of his income.
He was held down to the absurdly
small sum of 100000 a year. He
could just struggle along and keep
himself going on this miserable pit
tance.
We do not remember what he would
have required to support lady of his
set, but probably another $4,000
would have been needed for her per-
sonai account and still another for the
costs of joint establishment for two
such rare birds. Anyway the poor
bachelor could not afford to marry
and so remained martyr to the
cruelty of the inconsiderate parents
who had departed this life without
leaving an adequate supply of invest
ed funds for their orphan boy.
A family record presents a case of
n different sort. It was time of
the very highest prices and the man
o. the family enjoyed salary of s12
week. Strange as it may seem, how
ever, the marriage partnership did
not necessitate any such proportion
a'e increase of income as we have
considered in the case of the forlorn
New Yorker. For the wife by her
home work and management actually
demonstrated that the two could live
on the small income and put more by
than the husband did when he was
living alone. The partnership was in
all respects a very happy one, and it
was by no means wholly absorbed with
thoughts of money and credit, but it
was so successful in combining home
building with getting on in the world
that, though children were added to
the expenses, income and savings were
SO greatly increased that ultimately
there was a capital of many thou
sand dollars for Investment.
Possibly that poor orphan boy, the
New York bachelor, had just such
parents and so was able to start with
the capital of many thousand dollars
and the fear of marriage. At any
rate it is suggested to our Illinois in
vestigating commission that dread of
the expense may be so inadequately
explained by the size of the income
that ideas, aims and character should
never be left out Of the account

THE HIGH SPOTS OF HISTORY

Even the latitude allowed to orators
does not excuse the declaration of Sem
ator Sherman of Illinois at the Me-
mortal day exercises that "all human
history is written in the blaze of hos
tile campfires and its quickening mu-
sic made on the march and battle
field" This is beautiful language
but very far from the truth. Wars
are merely the high spots of history,
anG while their results often have a
market effect upon the future of a
nation they do not compose the rec
ords of its greatest progress. A ma
ton is great for other reasons than
the prowess of her arms. 1t is great
because it's people themselves possess
those clements which make for great
ness, the possession of ideals, in
dustry, intelligence. 1ts greatness is
not measured by the number of its
soldiers or battles ir7, but by what
the nation stands for and by what
it is doing to make the race happier
and more prosperous. AS matter of
cold fact wars interfere with the great
er development of nation, and form
favorite device of statesmen for
blocking the wheels of national prog
Tess along the lines that make for
| real eminence. The revolution that
has marked public thought and chang
ed the ideals of government in the
United States came in her years of
profoundest peace, and would have
come sooner had not the Spanish
American war intervened.-Lincoln

A BISHOP IN THE STEERAGE.

Bishop Brent of the Philippines
seemed to take it as matter hardly
worth comment that he travelled from
Liverpool to New York in the steer
age.
81 see no reason whatever for a
bishop to travel first class. believe
bishops place is with the common
people," he is quoted as saying in re-
sponse to some surprised questioners.
There can surely be only praise for
such stanch democracy in religion. 1t
is the natural tendency of every cross
roads, town, city and nation to develop
classes and class distinctions. In one
sense such groupings of congenial
people are right and proper. But
there must always be certain funda-
mentals of religion and patriotism
and daily duty that know no boun-
daries of class and that place all men
shoulder to shoulder.-New York

ASKS STATE FOR ROYALTIES
ON COAL MINED ON PROPERTY

LEAVENWORTH, Kas., June IL
Steps are being taken to bring suit
against the state of Kansas to col
lect royalties on coal mined under
the Missouri river and under Steig-
er's island, which lies in the river,
directly east of the state penitentiary
at Lansing.
The county surveyor of Leaven-
worth county has just received in
structions from a Kansas City, Mo-,
real estate firm to survey the island,
half of which belongs to the'state of
Kansas, the other half belonging to
Topeka, Kas., man, and the surveyor
will commence work this week. For
years the state has been mining coal
under the river and island and the
owner of half of the island believes
that thousands of tons of coal has
been taken from his property. 1t is
his intention, after receiving the re-
port of the surveyor giving the exact
area of his property to bring de-
mand against the state for payment
of royalties and in case it is refused
he will bring suit in the district court
of Leavenworth county to collect the
same.

HER JUSTIFIED SUSPICION.

"You know | honor and respect

AS she spoke she softly stroked his

regret that she did not attempt to

GOES TO REFORM SCHOOL.

Thomas N. Evans, the 14-year-old
son of Thomas s. Evans Of the Rock
wood section will be taken to the state
industrial school at Golden tomorrow.
The lad was born in Aspen, Colo, in
the days his parents enjoyed material
prosperity. When he was only lit
tie over year old, there was domes-
tic trouble which ended in the divorce
court. Close on the home troubles
came financial troubles. The father
tried making home for the boy and
at the same time providing for his
support-in other words being both
father and mother to him. For sew
eral years the two have made La
Plata county their headquarters. Last
fall disagreement arose over some
trifling matter and the lad left home.
Since he seems to have been the vic
tim Of wanderlust, making different
hearth stones his home for only
brief period but refusing to return
to the parental one. The spirit Of
wandering SO distressed the father
that it was at his instance that the
arrest was made yesterday. The
Judge deems it advisable that he b.
taken to the Industrial school for .
period, so that fixed habits may take
the place Of the objectional one.

CORK PAPER AND ITS USES

Enormous quantities of cork are
used annually for making tips on
cigarettes. For this purpose the cork
is converted into very thin sheets
which constitutes what is known as
cork paper. These sheets are exceed
ingly thin and come in the market
a Ia inches in width and 6, 7, 8, 9
and 10 inches in length. A package
of about two hundred and fifty sheets
is scarcely an inch in thickness. Prac-
tically all the cork paper that comes
to this country is entered through the
New York custom house and is valued
Including 80 per cent duty) at about
$500, 900 annually. 1t is estimated that
approximately one half million dollars
worth of cork is converted into cork
paper every year, and almost all Of
this is used for making tips on ciga-
rcttes
The thin cork is pasted on long
sheets of paper, which are passed
between rollers and automatically COW
cred with paste, while girls with deft
fingers lay on the cork and smooth 1t
down as the paper passes along. Aft
er this the sheets are passed through
the cutting machines, in which they
are divided into eight stips one-half
inch wide and wound on reels for use
in the automatic cigarette tippers
Each of these machines has capacity
of 10000 sheets of cork paper day
The total number of sheets used in
the world is about 100,000,000, oi
about quarter billion square feet
The cigarette tipping machines have
capacity of about 10000 cigarettes
daily. The cost of the finished tips
to the cigarette manufacturer is from
0 to 20 cents a thousand.

AFTER THE DIVORCE, WHAT?

A woman was granted a divorce
recently on the testimony of another
woman, who swore, that she also,
had been courted, won, and, as she
supposed, married by the man in the
case. She did not know he had an
other wife. Investigation after she
learned it convinced her that her own
had been only mock marriage.
The court granted the divorce
promptly and left open the question
of alimony to the legal wife for later
settlement. The newspaper reports
told nothing of any proceeding beyond
this. The other woman who had been
wronged apparently has no chance for
| alimony or any other redress. The
law of the land and the law of civ
ilized society appears to have made
no effort to vindicate itself.
This kind of amiable dealing with
the worst of criminals is wrong. The
man in such case gets freedom
that he was probably glad to get. By
the standards his own depraved mind
sets, he is gamer by his own crimi.
nality.
1t is such dealing with marriage
that brings the rite into contempt
that makes divorce an incident anc
fidelity merely bore to people whc
choose to be ennuied by it. So lonl
as the real penalties are all visited OF
the innocent and the advantages en-
joyed by the guilty, what better thai

CRUEL AND NAUSEATING.

Mr.. w. o. Stillman, president of
the American Humane association, is
authority for the statement that much
If the slaughtering done in this coun-
try is both cruel and unsanitary. In
the National Humane Review Mr.
Sullman says:
"The actual conditions are that
r1ucl of the slaughtering is done in
ancient, germ laden, wooden struc-
lures. often ramshackle sheds. There
is t, o frequently no provision for eff
iirient sanitary inspection. Filth is
allowed to accumulate in and around
these pest houses. Flies abound car
rying taint and contagion. The fun
damental conditions are such that
health protection cannot be secured.
"Reef cattle are killed ordinarily
by knocking them on the head, much
as the cave man did 10000 years
ago. Sometimes they are rendered
unconscious before their throats are
cut; sometimes not. Sheep and hogs
merely have their throats slashed, al
most universally without being stun
ned first. Very frequently these ami
mails are allowed to see or be near
where their kin are being done to
death, and to hear their final strug-
giles and smell their blood.
Now, this is all wiring. 1t is sim
ply barbarous and indefensible. What
is needed is municipal or public abat-
toirs, with officials inspectors and
health officers in charge. They should
be constructed of concrete, iron and
glass, with every care for sanitation,
including flushing, drainage, plumb
ing, disposal of waste, ventilation and
protection from infection of every
kind. Public health demands this and
it should be granted promptly.
"All animals should be isolated, and
humanely and effectively stunned, be-
| fore killing. There are satisfactory
inventions which meet these require
ments, which are in daily use in the
great slaughtering establishments of
Europe. America is fifty years be-
hind the times in these respects. How
lorg shall these inhuman and unsani-
tary arrangements continue ?"

PAINT CREEK
CONDITIONS

Onlted freHS
CHARLESTON, w. Va, June H.
Today's hearing before the senate
subcommittee investigating the coal
strike conditions in the Paint and
Cabin Greek districts, Adjutant Gen.
eral Charles Elliott of the state mi
litia described the conditions in the
strike districts while the military
courts administered justice. He ad-
mitted that military courts superseded
civil courts for year.
The witness said when Governor
Hatfield ordered troops into the strike
region they confiscated 100000 rounds
of ammunition and six machine guns
the mine owners took there, also =
thousand rifles. He described the
pitched battle between the mine
guards and miners. How towns were
shot up, burned and destroyed. He
said both sides were equally blamed.
He declared that martial law was
originally proclaimed at the request
of the union representatives because
they feared that mine guards would
kill them.
Records of the military courts for
the year were introduced, showing
that every offense charged could have
been tried by the civil courts.
The miners are trying to show that
the military court ignored the state
constitution and repudiated their in
dividual rights guaranteed
Relative to the coal strike investi-
cation now being carried on in West
Virginia Senator Kenyon, one Of the
committee members said:
I'VE are after facts. We shall
go to the bottom to see who is re-
sponsible for conditions and whether
congress can do anything permanent
ly to protect the community from a
repetition Of the trouble. The COM
mittee will exercise great care not
to grant immunity from criminal
prosecution to witnesses.

not be freed under the law from r..
sponsibility for previous acts
The investigation began at 2 o'clock
this afternoon at Charleston, W.
Va. That federal constitution would
follow the report to the upper house
was intimated by Senator Borah to-
day. He said that whatever means
could be found for assuring the per-
manence of peace in all Of the coal
mining states should be employed by
congress, If the interstate clause Of
the constitution could be made to
cover such action. Federal indictment

have no intention Of taking up that
phase Of the situation at the present
time. The committee is fully empow-

derstood by its members to be the
vindication Of the right of trial by

Of antitrust and interstate commerce
