PATHETIC SIGHTS.

Arfstocratic English society is more
or less interested in the news that :he
Duchess of Roxburghe, who was Miss
| Goelet of New York some ten years
| ago, is to have a child. The question
of chief interest is whether it will be a
| boy. Lady Innes-Ker, sister-in-law to
| the duchess. has expressed wish that
it may be boy-which is very mag
unanimous of her. considering that if
it isn't a boy she will stand some
chance of becoming the duchess her
self and considerably richer than she
is now
But Lady Innes-Ker is not wholly
impractical in her motives. She con-
cedes that the American millions of
the present duchess are extremely
useful in keeping up the splendor OF
the Roxburghe estate and she wishes
to know What more pathetic sight is
there than a fine old family and title
struggling with almost poverty?"
No doubt it is a pathetic thought to
her experienced mind. No doubt many
others in her country, and in ours,
share her Wy of thinking sufficiently
to find the idea extremely pathetic.
We need have no quarrel with thssm,
though we find it absurdly easy to
point out in either country sights in
finitely more full of pathos than even
the pitiful spectacle of a bankrupt
nobleman going to market to sell his
birthright to the highest bidder.
The American eye finds pathos
among the toilers, rather than among
the idlers. 1t sees nothing pathetic in
the person who could work but will
not whether it's an unkempt tramp
taking his ease beside a railway or a
manicured Young spender impatiently
waiting for a relatives death to make
his expectations accessible. Little
sympathy is wasted here on the lack
adaisical resignation that accepts
broken fortunes without making the
least effort to mend them.
America has no lack of fine old
families fallen into decay in the re-
spect' of fame, talent, usefulness and
other things as we'll as money. But
we have a way of reserving our great
est pity for fine young families that
are struggling bravely to amount to
something though the odds are heav-
lily against them. If we were looking
for genuinely pathetic sights in Eng
land we should pass Piccadilly and
Mayfair by and visit the East end of
London or the mills and mines of the
provinces, as in America we should
expect to pass through Fifth avenue
and Newport with sympathies undis-
turbed and be moved to tears in Law
renee or Homestead or West Virginia.

miles of sea-bottom are devoted to
pearl-oyster cultivation. Here stones
are laid down in places suitable for
catching the spat, or spawn, just be-
fore the season when this is poured into
the water. Later these stores, with
the minute oysters attached to them,
are moved to places more favorable
for their growth, where they are left
to develop. When of suitable size, the
workmen, a large village of whom in
habit an island in the midst of the beds,
take them up and introduce between the

bead of moCher-of-pearl. In four years
this has become covered, except upon
the side which touches the SHE'LL with
layers of nacre, forming a nearly glo-
bular body called a culture pearl, or
blister" These products are hardly
more than hemispherical, however, as
a rule, and are useful only for settings,
or where half-pearls might be employ
ed, and hence have far less value than
natural pearls, which are more or less
perfectly rounded. About 500. 000 are
produced annually. It has not been
found possible to produce real spheri-
cal pearls on commercial scale.-Har-

CHARGES BLACKMAIL.
Atteaux Says Breen Hatched. Plot and
Wanted Pay to Keep Still.

Boston, June 5.-After introducing
several witnesses to corroborate the
testimony of the defendant yesterday
the defense of Frederick E Atteaux in
the dynamite conspiracy case rested
today and it is expected it will go to
the jury soon.
Among the witnesses for Atteaux
We're VIM B. Watts, former chief in
spector of the Boston police, and A.
A. Corby. of Lawrence. Their stories
tended to confirm the version of the
dynamite affair given by Atteaux who
set up that John J. Breen and Ernest
w. Pitman Matched the plot to plant
dynamite on the premises of textile
strikers at Lawrence. Later the defense
claims, Breen drove Pitman to suicide
by threats of exposure and then used
the same tactics in an attempt to
blackmail Atteaux and Wood Watts
testified to an interview with Breen in
which the latter told of the damage
suits brought against him by those in
whose house dynamite had been plant
ed and said that what he had done was
for the millmen and he thought that
Atteaux ought to get him $4,000. On
cross examination the witness said that
he thought that Breen was trying to
blackmail Atteaux
Dennis j. Collins, who has been on
trial with Atteaux and President Will
liam M Wood of the American Wooden
company, has confessed on the stand to
planting the explosive. President Wood
will offer no defense

Where is my darling one tonight?
Could 1 through veil of darkness view

am a creature held by fate;
In spirit my vigil keep;
Now that the hour is growing late,
L wonder is he wrapt in sleep;
II So his eyes becoming tired
The dearest eyes I ever knew
And which so oft have been admired
Are resting in their world of blue.
All, why are those to US SO dear
Whose hearts of love our own have
gained,
Instead of being to US near
From our companionship detained?
Yet 1 too much should not complain,
For though away he will be true;
And when in joy We meet again
shall behold his eyes of blue.
So though 1 wander long and far,
Through cities great and countries wide.
His eyes will be like lovely stars
To guide me homeward to his side.
And when that happy hour shall come,
And 1 look in his eyes of blue,
Although with joy my lips are dumb,
Life will begin with me anew.

HELP MOTHERHOOD.
Lively Debate in French Chamber OF
Deputies-Infant Mortality.

Paris, June 5.-The question of the
protection of working women in France
during motherhood came up in the
Chamber of Deputies today and gave
rise to a lively debate. Deputy Fer
nand Engerand, offered a measure to
compel employers to continue paying
the wages of working women during
four weeks in case they are absent
from their employment owing to moth
erhood.
France and Turkey are the only
European countries in which mother
hood is not protected" he declared.
THE death rate among children put
out to nurse in France is sixty per
cent, while that among children
nursed by their mothers is only II per
cent.

exceeds the deaths by 100000 annually.

DISSOLUTION FAILS.
Aim Cannot Be Gained by Stock
Among Same Shareholders.

Washington, June attorney
General McReynolds said today that
he regards the Standard Oil dissolu-
ton decree as inadequate to meet the
intent of the Sherman law. This was
the first definite indication of the at
torney generals attitude toward the
investigation now being conducted to

His objections to the decree, like
those he has expressed against the
tobacco trust decree, are based on the
ground that a real dissolution of a
trust cannot be accomplished by a
distribution of the stock pro rata
among the same shareholders. From
Charles B. Morrison and oliver E.
Pagan, his special assistants, the at
torney general has heard the results
OF their investigation of the oil situa-
ton and is now celebrating whether

justified in taking further action I'M
