Thirty miles northeast OF Raleigh

House." Ten years ago Cook heard
OF this property, took an option on 1T

bought II. The first thing he did
was to interest the late Senator Saw

experts TO Investigate the "Whlte

In that section gold can be pan

this fashion Is very simple. There
is gold vein through that region,
and In the adjoining county OF Nash
is the PORTS" gold mine. which has
been worked for a long time, and for
three-quarters OF a century was q
good producer.
Cook "salted" the ground in a
novel way. He hired a Negro named
Burke. provided him with plenty OF
chewing tobacco and also with gold
dust. Wherever the experts went
Burke went. and he literally spat
gold. He enriched the earth to such
an extent that the "pay dirt" was
satisfactory 10 the experts, and on
their report their principals took
part In the formation OF the cold

TO develop the property. Cook and
some OF his associates were put In
charge, bonds were foated to the
amount of $4,000, modern machin-
cry was purchased, and many Of the
stockholders came down to North
Carolina TO see the mine. Burke
In the mean time talked necessarily,
Dragged about the richness OF the
mine, and limited at even greater
things.
Cook made no attempt TO interest
North Carolinians In the project.

victims, but some were from New

However, Guggenheim must have
become suspicious. for he sold his

Cook got about $4,000 for pro-
noting the enterprise. He was
known as a high roller" in two
counties, and campagne flowed

was brought by the Atlantic Equip

soon suggested by the owners TO some

ing Suffragettes.

The Irish prison authorities have
made up their minds to deal dras-
tically with any offending suf-
fragists in future. Instead Of being
allowed to sojourn among the
luxuries OF Mountjoy prison, which
is regarded Jas one of the most
comfortable Institutions of its kind
in Great Britain or Ireland, they will
be housed within the dreary walls
of Tullamore, a penitentiary motor
ious for the harsh treatment OF pris-
oners. II was here that William
O'Brien was relieved of his trousers,

Irish poet, has commemorated in his
Lays OF Tullamore" his own and
his friends experience of their in

But what is more drastic still is the
announcement that the familiar
hunger strike can be no longer rec

end. The ladies can hereafter fast

sequences. II they refuse to take

WAGE LAWS.

Just now serious labor troubles
are prevalent in the larger industries
and minimum wage bills are before
several State Legislatures. A few
years ago, says an exchange, such
legislation would have been laughed
out of court without consideration.
But experience is a great teacher,
and while there are still difficulties
in the way of minimum wage legis-
lation, It is now discussed as a prac-
teal problem. Minimum wage laws
and strict regulation of the hours
and conditions of labor for women
and children, at any rate, are sorely
needed at the present time. This is
the most pressing problem; the
wider legislation including men may
follow, or it may not. That will de-
pend upon the willingness of en-
ployers to pay living wage without
being forced TO do so by legislation.
II they are unwilling, the legislation
will come in time.
When Pope Leo XIII. in 1891
Issued his Encyclical on the oondi-
ton Of labor he laid down the doc
trine Of the living wage and declared
that for the employer TO pay less
was to take an unjust advantage OF
the necessity Of the wage Garner.
That doctrine was UNDECIDED by a
large proportion Of employers. To-day
It is being crystallized in minimum
wage laws. For the minimum wage
Is nothing more nor less than the
living wage OF Pope Leo's Encyelical
sRerum Novarum" of 1891. Il may
surprise some OF the present day
labor agitators TO learn that Pope
Leo XIII was the first minimum
wage advocate. II is true he did not
father any minimum wage bill. But
he laid down the principles upon
which all minimum wage legislation
Is based, viz. that supply and de-
mand should not be permitted unre-
etralned control over wages. Man Is
a rational being. and as such he is, II

wages that will enable him TO live
as man, and not as mere animal.
This the Pope called a living wage
ana he defined II as a wage that

Senate and repudiates the Demo-

neighbor declares the men in Con-
gress who plead for American
shipping interests should be given

and the party faith, and should be

Henri. He also wonders at the
course of Senator German. of New

RELIGIOUS PICTURES.

Upon the walls of every Catholic
home religious pictures should hold
an honored and prominent place.
Proclaim to all the world that the
sentiment of the home is above all
things Catholic. Let your children
and the friends of your children see
that these pictures are sacred In the
sight of the family, and that the
atmosphere OF the house is inn
pregnated with religious thoughts
and aspirations. II argues III for
the Catholieity OF a family where
there are no religious pictures In
the home. Children are not improved
by association with the goddess and
fashionable pictures of the day. In
such a family sneers at religious
pictures are not infrequent. and II
is a sad commentary on the religious
training Of younger people when
they apologize TO their irreligious
callers for a simple prayer book or
rosary that may be accidentally Wis
ible In their house. But as the train
ing SO the conduct, and a strong and
earnest adherence TO principles at
such time would but edify a
Protestant visitor.
