had come to Leadam street spread
blackly. Many a man. and many a
woman. and many a child, cried. The
poor had lost friend, and they would
not soon forget him. In the long days
of the distant winter they would think
of him over and over. Every one in
that ward was poor, though the re-
formers, condescending that way
whenever Jimmy was up for re-elec-
ton, somehow never grasped the real
significance of the fact. And 1t was
a somber Monday around the city
hall. Jimmy had been a man with a
genius for friendship The gang
mourned him in a sadness that had
added TO 1t the remorse of a recent
sObriety, but their grief, genuine as ii
was, had in it an evil bitterness their
hearts would not have owned. They
were FESTIVE and troubled. Whenever
they got together in little groups. they
read CONSERVATION in one anothers
faces; and now and then they cursed
the caution they had eXtolled on Sat
urday night. Besides these varied eff
fects. Jimmy's death, while il could
not create a crisis in the market
nevertheless gave rise TO nervous
feelings in certain segments of finan-
cial circles. Ii was inevitable that
financial and political circles should
overlap and intersect each other in
this matter, and there We're confer
ences which seemed to reflect a sense
of personal resentment at Jimmy for
having been murdered so inopportune-
ly. In the end, the financiers were
peremptory with Baldwin. He must
fix the thing some way. And he as
sured them that he would give the
appointment of the administrator his
immediate attention. Already, he said,
he had a man in view who would be
reasonable and practical. There were
suggestions of strong handed methods.

left to face life alone She could not
adjust herself to the change, and fear
and despair added their blackness to
her grief. Father Daugherty knew
how great a blow Jimmy's death
would be to her, and, though he gave
what comfort he could, he left her
grief to time. He did not belong to
the preaching orders. But, as he pom
dered in his wise old head. he shrewd-
" guessed that the careless Jimmy
would hardly have made provision
against anything so far from his
thoughts as death, and he perceived
that if Annie were to be protected
from a future with which she, alone
and unaided, would hardly have the
capacity to deal. some one must act
Long ago might Father Daugherty
have celebrated his silver jubilee as
pastor of st. Patrick's, but he was not
the man for celebrations. The parish
was one big family to him. and he
knew the joys and sorrows, the little
hopes and pathetic ambitions OF every
one in 1t. The SORROWS of his chill
dren he bore in his own heart; they
had wrought their complex and tragic
tale in his face. The joys he left
them to taste alone; but he found too
much sorrow to have time for joy.
During all those years he had given
himself unsparingly; If it was all he
had to give il was the most precious
thing he could have given-a daily
sacrifice that exhausted a tempera-
ment keenly sensitive and sympa-
thetic. So he had grown old and
white before his time. Many a man
had he kept straight when times were
hard and the right to work denied
him: many widow had he saved

TO THE ADVANCEMENT OF ART
Economic Inquiry, Conducted Along
Scientific Lines. Means Much to
the Human Race.

Notwithstanding the growth in re-
cent years of the work OF the geologl-
cal survey along practical economic
lines, scientific work has not been
neglected. according to the annual re-
port of the director for last year In
fact, in the survey the scientific inves-
legations are inseparable from the
economic work. though the one or the
other may predominant in purpose &C
cording 10 the needs OF the particular
research in hand. In any field econo-
mic work OF the highest rank is I'M
possible without full knowledge of the
scientific laws and principles pertain
ing to the subject of the work, but as
there is no application Of geology
which does not involve unsolved PROB
lens, some Of them of the highest I'M
portance, the best knowledge available
is nevertheless relative 1t thus fol
lows that the broad and searching
observations which should accompany
every piece of good economic work
comprehend data that are eventually
combined in the construction OF new
scientific hypothesis, some OF which
as more observations accumulate,
grow into established laws or princi-
pies that are in turn of the greatest
practical consequence. Thus the de-
tailed studies of the metalliferous de-
posits in one region or another bring
to light evidence from which to deter
mine the genesis of the ores and the
