lection against poverty and want; so
she went to a Justice of the Peace
and swore that .Johnny's age was
twelve, and sent him to the breaker.
She somehow did not think much
about this oath. In fact, she almost
felt that Johnny was twelve years old.
She knew of other boys Of the same
age who were at work. -
Well, Johnny went to the breaker.
He was halfway pleased to be re-
leased from school. If there is any
place for boy more cruel and hope
less than the breaker, it is the or
binary public school.
Johnny lived about half a mile
from the breaker where he went to
work. Over and over again, he had
fseen the huge rough black building
standing up against the sky, and just
beyond, the great pile of refuse which
they called 'culm" that doomed up
higher still; especially at night, they
rose up jsomber and black, like the
mountains just behind. The front
Of the building was a hundred feet
high. 1t sloped slowly and, evenly
down to about twenty-five feet at the
rear. Its great sides were dotted with
windows-little gray spots in the vast
surface of black, weather-beaten
boards. Johnny had never seen a
cathedral, but from the stories that
his teacher told at school he thought
this building was about the size of
one1of those medieval tenples-but
it was a temple built, not to God,
but to Mammon.
Along the side of the great building
ran the zigzag stairs, and, in the
early morning light and sometimes
before the gloom had been fairly
driven away, little boys tugged up the
hundred steps to the breakers top.
Here the cars Of coal were raised in
an elevator and then dumped into a
chute, and went sliding and scatter
ing down through myriad of sleeves

There was really nothing left but to

NORFOLK TO UNITE
WITH PORTSMOUTH
AGITATION FOR ANNEXATION
OF CITIES BEGUN-WOULD
PROVE OUR RIVAL.

NORFOLK, Oct21.-J. A Mulvey
yesterday gave out an interview on
consolidation of Portsmouth and Nor
folk. in which he said:
Last Tuesday night there was pre-
scented to the common council of
Portsmouth an ordinance which has
passed the Norfolk councils looking
to the consolidation of both cities, ac
companied by letter from City Clerk
Stead asking that a committee be ap-
pointed from the common council
and board OF aldermen to confer with
like committee from the Norfolk
councils which consists Of seven
members,
This brings forth the question.
Is the time now ripe to enter into
negotiations looking to such consol-
dation? In the opinion Of many
prominent gentlemen in both cities
it is. In previous overtures made by
the Norfolk council the members OF
the Portsmouth bodies have always
asked what has Norfolk to offer
This cannot be determined except by
mutual conference between commit
tees from both cities. In the past
sentiment has been large factor In
determining the Portsmouth people
against consolidation, but 1t 3
claimed by many this hould cut but
4 llltit HSuit 4ll lIt ISSUE a. "NAHN, "a"
under consolidation she will always
be known as Portsmouth. just as
Brooklyn, Berkeley and Manchester
still retain their names and identity
although incorporated under the
names of New York, Norfolk and
Richmond.
From q business standpoint 1t Is
evident to every one who has given
this matter unbiased consideration
that the advantages are manifold. Ii
means a compact city of about 49,
600 inhabitants, and this of itself
will bring this port into prominence
that will make an impression upon
upon large commercial, manufactur-
ing and railroad enterprises.
From a municipal standpoint, 1t
means less expense to taxpayers In
the handling of the municipal az
/ fairs of both cities, in the way of
economy and efficiency.
"All the people here want a bat
tieship built in this navy yard. all
are combining for that purpose and
the equipment of the navy yard with
launching ways and other facilities
for new construction work. In union
there is strength, and with the infiu-
ence of one united city exerted, IL
would surely have more effect on the
members of congress and the senate,
and the executive officers of the gov
eminent than the divided efforts of
two cities.
These reasons, as well as many
others, point seemingly to the con-
ciusion that the time Is now ripe to
enter into negotiations looking to
consolidation.
1.-THE board Of aldermen of Ports
mouth meet tonight, and it Is hoped
that some steps will be taken to ap-
point a committee to confer with the
Norfolk committee. The ordinance
presented means nothing more than a
preliminary step looking to mutual
and amicable negotiations, so that the
question can be handled In all Its
phases.

WANT TIME BALL
ON CUSTOM HOUSE
NORFOLK SHIPPING PEOPLE AP.
PEAL TO NAVY DEPARTMENT
FOR ITS RE-EsTABLIsHME

NORFOLK. Oct. ala commitses
from the chamber of commerce COM
posed OF Samuel r. Buxton. E. ID. J.
Luning and Harry Reyner, will so to
Norfolk this morning 10 confer with
Captain George E. Cooper, OF the
navy department. and Lieutenant w.
c. l. Stiles. the officer In charge Of
the Norfolk photographic office. con-
corning the placing Of a time ball on
the roof of the local custom house,
The agitation for n time ball was
started about year ago and has
been In allegiance over since. The
need for 1t has been felt here ever
since the abolition of tie time bal
that was maintained Oh the roof OF
the Siisby building. Former Collector
of Customs Fred Read did much to-
wards getting the matter before the
navy department and was aided con-
siderably by Lieutenant Stiles. and
the movement was taken up and
pushed by the chamber OF commerce.
The agitation has been increased
lately owing to runors that unless
more interest was shown locally 1t
would not be installed The cham
Der had thought the matter practi-
cally settled and had been waiting
for the notice that the time ball
would be established.
However. recently the matter was
brought to the attention OF the local
shipping people and the great need
for the time ball was fully set out
in letters by them which were for
warded to the navy department. II
is thought that the conference In Nor
folk this morning will result in the
decision of the navy department to
establish the service.
