who had called upon this woman and
had befriended her went to the funeral.
Just outside the chapel door he met
Bishop Brooks. with whom he was ac-
quainted.
He spoke to the bishop, signifying
by his words that he thought it an
act OF great kindness that the bishop
should have come from his distant
summer home by the sea to read the
ofice of the dead, that. too. in a humble
parish.
My good brother who is the rector

bishop.

months old, bishop"
That Is all the more reason why I
should come" he replied. 'T would

were possible to console the mother
and to read the office of the church
over the little one. for don't you know
that 1t was of such as this little one
that 1t was said: of such is the king
dom Of heaven"
The bishop read the office of the
dead with sympathy in every tone, and
after the service was over he min
istered unto the mother. comforting
her greatly. and when he went back
to his summer home he knew that he
carried the gratitude and affection OF
that sfiicted woman.

Another Unwritten Law Pleaded.

Edward Beardsley, who last Tuesday
shot an overseer of the poor seeking
to take Beardsley's children to the
poorhouse, capitulated yesterday after a
weeks successful defiance of the law,
but he secured honorable terms of sur
render. His demands, in fact, are so
formal as to liken his cabin and him
self to fort and its garrison. AT a
stated time Wednesday ''the women and
children"-his wife and their nine
young hopefuls-will leave the fortress
out of which Beardsley's rife has
loomed so large, and be taken, not to
the poorhouse, but to the home of
Beardsley's brother. After this Boards
ley will come forth, lay down his arms,
and enter the custody, not CT Sheriff
Anderson, who has endeavored vainly
to take Beardsley, dead or alive, but OF
Sheriff Pickard, whom Beardsley
seems to prefer as an arresting con-
stable.
The case, which at first sight appears
to be but a sort of madman's frenzy
of mutiny against authority he and the
rest of the people delegated to their of
hcers of law, is remarkable at closer
range. Beardsley, claiming that hi:
children were being amply supported
exhibited a horror of the poorhouse
that recalls the terrors that institution
had for Betty Higdon in "Our Mutua
Friend" The fact that, whatever hi:
opinion of the case was, the operation
of the law was against him counted
for nothing. He expressed belief thai
the law was breaking up his home use.
iessly and cruelty, and he resisted. Hi:
resistance was different from that o.
the man Lopez, who defed the Law
from the mine in Utah.
What will be the final judgment il
this case will not, of course, cxonerat,
Beardsley from the guilt of shooting
down a fellow-man. But It may de
velop points that will prove highly in
Iteresting to those charged with conduc
of our juvenile courts and similar in
stitutions established by society for tn
protection of the individuals OF the fam

n HILLIPS BROOKS, who was for
many years rector of Trinity
Church, Boston, and who reluc-
tantly retired from that service to be-
come bishop. possessed-what he al
ways esteemed as the greatest of his
rewards-the affection, deep and abid-
ing, of those of his parish and of the
chapels which were associated with
his parish who were not blessed with
riches, but whose lives were those Of
toll and often of sacrifice. DIR. Brooks
was rejoiced when little children came
to him, and he knew how to gain
their affections and their confidence.
He was always at the service espe-
cially of the poor when they were in
distress, and his ministrations to them
were gentle, kindly. and efficient.
There was poor family of Boston
who were communicates in one OF the
chapels of Trinity Church, which was
established in a humble quarter of the
city. The wife and mother was much
respected, and when it was learned
that she had lost by death an infant
only three or four months old, some OF
those who had means called upon her
to give sympathy to her and also aid.
IT was summer time. They asked
her who was to read at the funeral

Seventh street fire at which the lives of

the disposal of which has not been set
tied
Heretofore the club has had rule
that when member was detected tip
ping a waiter the former should be
reprimanded and the latter discharged.
On a third offense member was sus-
pended.
A system similar to the ono adopted
BY the Chicago club has been in opera
ton in few restaurants in different
cities for some time, with varying sue
cess. 1t is eificult to see, however, that
the tip evil is any nearer solution, espc-
cially in the case of the Chicago club.
Evidently the penalties prescribed in the
past failed to stop the practice, other
wise the present action would not have
been taken. In fact, it was announced
that the new rule was adopted because
the discoverey had been made that
tips were being given secretly.
1t is plainly apparent therefore, that
the club is back just where it started.
The S cents added to the check is a
fixed charge, and is, therefore, not a
''tip." The same old regulation, pro-
viding penalties, or a similar one,
against payments to the walters in ex-
cess of S cents, is probably in force, and
no reason appears why it should work
any more satisfactorily. The walters
will, of course, regard the fixed fee as
part OF their wages and they will
quickly learn to expect some extra re-
ward for special attention or expedi-
tious service. And the fellow with the
"roll," who likes that sort of thing, will
be just as willing to bestow it. In some
States there are laws against tipping,
but they are violated with no pretense
of secrecy.
1t is undeniably a senseless practice
that is spreading in this country be-
yond the realm of food-servers, until
it is threatening to reach the proper
tions it attained generations ago in
many European countries. But it hasn't
been solved in Chicago.

Give the Militia an Armory.

A brave showing is made by the
National Guard of the District of Co.
Iunbia in the report of Gen. Albert l..
Mills. chief of the division of militia
affairs, War Department. The figures
show that in numerical strength, in
proportion TO population, the District
stands ahead of all the States of the
Union.
OF total male population of 7S,34o
of militia age, eighteen to forty-four
years, the District boasts an enlisted
force of LOO, a percentage of 2.24-
Washington has always been proud,
and with every reason, of its militia. 1t
won the increased respect and admira-
tion of the people fifteen years ago
when, at the outbreak of the war with
Spain, splendidly trained and equipped
regiment, ready in a jify, marched
down Pennsylvania avenue, the begin
ming of the journey to Cuba. These
young men, representing the best home
life of the Capital, saw real service at
the front and suffered severe hard
ships. No one who witnessed it will
forget the glorious welcome Washing
ton gave to the regiment when, after
the quarantine period had expired, the
men returned from Montauk Point,
where several had succumbed to dis
! ease
The high standard of the regiment
has been maintained to this day. The
one thing lacking is suitable armory,
and surely the foremost militia force
in the United States deserves this. Gen.
Mills, in his report, says:
There Z is nothing new to be said on
this subject. The need is still felt and
will continue to be so until the want
is supplied
He makes strong recommendation for
= the adoption by the different States OF
! plans looking to the construction oi
suitable armories. With its militia
leading the entire country it would seen
that Washington, should show the way

subject we'll worthy Of the attention oi

Court Of Vermont. The public service
commission had made an order on the

its depot At Vergennes. VT The District
Court enjoined the order, on the ground
that II was beyond the Jurisdiction of
the Vermont public service commission

ton of the powers conferred by the ver-
mont laws on the public service COM

ingly.

OF Winchester. KY. against the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad, as the result
OF grade crossing accident In 1907. The
court affirmed the Judgment of the United
