UPLIFT TALKS
INTELLECTUAL AND EsTHETlc JOYS
BY oR1soN SWEET MARDEN.
Author OF "Pushing to the Front ETC
Copyright 1914.

The sweetest organ does not appeal
to those who have no appreciation OF
the laws of harmony and melody, II
onlv sneaks to those who have a spir-
final responsiveness which can inter-
pref its divine meaning.
Whoever has good mind, well de-
veloped. ought never to nave p dull
or stupid moment. The man OF
trained mind Is largely independent
of his environment. II Things are DIS
ureeable. If people bore him, II his
Surroundings are uncongenial, he can
lft himself out of 1t all and retire
within the gate of his own mind and
revel in the exercise of his intellectual
faculties.
As Epictetus says, no power can
keep us from enjoyments OF the
mind, from intellectual enJoyments.
Through thought the wretched crimi-
nal can rise out of his barred cell.
AS Lovelace. in prison, wrote to Al
thea:
''Stone walls do not prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for an hermitage"
The influence which others and CON-
ditions have upon us is immensely
exaggerated. The fact is that hap.
piness or misery is very largely in
our own power.
All through our youth and even in
later life new doors to new joys are
constantly being opened up, often by
accident, by the suggestion of a
friend, by the reading of an. inspir-
ing book, or by thinking. AS George
Herbert wrote:
More servants wait on man
Than he'll take notice Of"
He Is the greatest man whose SUI
preme ambition is to make the most
of his life, TO enrich it by self-edu-
cation, self-culture, self development
and helpful service. until every fibre
of his being becomes responsive to
every good and helpful influence in.
the entire range of his. environment.
To the man who has developed his
intellectual and esthetic faculties
there is untold joy in life.

little boy whose mother came to me
for advice. She desired to know why
her boy blinked his little eyes SO
frequently. 1t was soon discovered
that he was going to bed too late,
that he played hard. studied hard,
needed eyeglasses, ate too much meat
and arose too early in the morning
When these troubles were corrected
his blinking disappeared as Aladdin's
phantom caves did with q wishing

Simultaneous vibrations of the eve

IreIand's Stirring Song

The origin of the unofficial anthem
of Ireland, est. Patrick's Day in the
Morning" is most obscure. The earl
lest known copy appears in Ruther-
ford's Country Dances" published in
1749, but 1t is said to have been
played by the Irish pipers at the
battle of Fontenoy in 1745, and was
probably current for some time be-
fore this. The tune is found attached
to various rollicking old English
songs. The Cumberland song of
faithless Barbary Bell, whose lover
VOWS to wear red coat for her sake
Is sung to a version of est. Patrick.

CHITCHAT
The Late Judge child as Soldier

The Late Judge Child as Soldier
An interesting "reminiscences of tn.
war career Of Francis Child, former
judge of the Essex County Circuit
Court who died Monday, was giveT
yesterday by John c. Smith, of 81
High street. an old. friend and com
rade In arms of Mr.. Childs.
We both joined at the same time,
SAD Mr.. Smith, when the Governor OF
New Jersey made call for volunteers
soon after the battle of Gettysburg
We Joined the Thirty third New Jer-
sey Volunteers.
Mr. Child entered as a second lieu
tenant and I was the first sergeant in
| his company. Our regiment was first
sent to Virginia. We went by sea and
soon after landing were ordered to
! Washington
when General Rosecrans was bot
tied up in Chattanooga it was decid-
ed to sent our regiment, along with
some others, to his relief 1t took
some time to get there, as the rail-
roads We're not in good condition.
When we arrived, though, Rosecrans
was still holding out, and with our
forces we were able to drive General
Bragg back and relieve him
Soon afterward was fought the
battle of Chattanooga with the
famous actions at Lookout Mountain
and Missionary Ridge Lieutenant
Child was in both of them and won
great credit for his bravery and cour-
age.
about this time / was promoted to
lieutenantcy and was transferred.
We did not see SO much of each other
as before, but still we met every once
in while.
Next we relieved General Burnside
who was being besieged by General
Bongstreet. We were now in Sher-
mans army, and on the relief of
Burnside started for Atlanta. The
next hundred days, until the capture
of Atlanta, was almost a continuous
fight.
1T was at the battle of Culp's Hill,
i think, in which Child was seriously
wounded. He was sent to the rear to
recover from his injury and was out
of the war for almost a month. On
his return he was promoted to first
lieutenant
After the capture of Atlanta we
started for Savannah and, as every
one knows, gave that city to the ma
ton as a Christmas present for 1864,
the city and we were made the pro-
vost guard.
In February we were relieved and
resumed our march, this time through
the Carolinas, headed for Goldsboro,
where we were entirely Equipped.
On the way we fought the battles of
Avarysboro and Bentonsville.
From Goldsboro we started north
after Johnson's army. Before
we reached Greensboro, N. c., we
knew of Lees surrender, and when
we got to Greensboro, Johnson fol-
lowed his example. Soon afterward
we went to Washington, where we
were dismissed.
Lieutenant Child was one of the
most popular officers in the regiment,
and / have always heard of his brav-
cry spoken of after serious engage
ments.
II remember a saying of his which
always used to strike me as very
true. 1t is most glorious thing to
die for ones country, he would say
after a hard days fighting, but I'd
rather live for mine. | can do more

THE CITY GOVERNMENT AGAIN ExrRAvAGANr

Another example of the utter recklessness of the
city authorities in the way of increasing salaries and
wages for the taxpayers to pay was furnished on
Thursday when the Board of Works increased the
pay of city laborers working house connec-
lions from 2S to 80 cents hour. And there is al
legged be intention by this improvident board to
increase the wages of aborers in the street depart
ment.
Two cents hour is equal to ninety-six cents
increase week of six days when the laborers
work every day which they do not. 1t may be shown
by the News in its criticisms of this official extrava-
gance that there contractors in the United States
who pay no more to aborers than dollar dollar
and half day, which clearly shows that Newark
should pay no more. And yet, notwithstanding that
the News has just made complete showing of the
salary and wage increase in the last or eight
years by the city government, here the defiant
Board of Works with yet another wage increase, and,
moreover meditating still another.
The actual cost of living is from SO to 100 per
cent higher now than 1t eight years ago, but
what does that signify? Shall the taxpayer pay more
because the laborer cannot the wherewithal to
house. feed and clothe his wife and children?

Inside Information.

Inside Information
From the Wall Street journal.
1t is often remarked in Wall street.
and with truth, that sufficient supply
of inside information" will break
any speculator. There Is psyche
logical reason. He may know the
coming event. At the best he can
only guess its market effect, which,
in result, is how the news influences
public opinion.
No nation in Europe has, and prob
ably all the nations together have not
spent as much on securing inside in
formation as the German army in
telligence body. But what must
strike the observer, in the light of
repeated diplomatic failures and mis-
calculations Of the strength of pos
sible adversaries, is that the one thing
Ii failed to secure was intelligence.
1T found, for instance, that there
were armed and drilled volunteers
with ar. abundance of Ill feeling) in
ireland. But it did not find that, in
the event Of Great Britain going to
war to preserve the neutrality of Bel
GUM. the Irish would forget their
family differences and unite in sup
port of the British. The same Is true
of the intelligence" from India, to
say nothing Of the British colonies.
1t should have been an easy task
to have ascertained the temper of the
Belgians. But the German secret
service, reasoning within a narrow
groove, failed to see that people are
moved by considerations of honor
and sentiment. of obligation and
fidelity to contracts far moro
than by temporary advantage.
Logically, the Belgians, with a
strength Of one to twenty, would not
fight. They are fighting yet.
This intelligence department seems
to have failed altogether to realize
that the American will sympathize
with fight for an ideal where he
would not sympathize with fight
for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. No doubt Berlin
knows as much OF the United States

Waterloo

Why have the mighty lived-why have they died
1t is thus with idle wreck to strew
Fields such as thine, remorseless Waterloo
Hopeless the lesson Yainy hath ever cried
Stern fate to man-"So perish human pride
Still must the many combat for the few;
Still must the noblest blood fair earth bedew
Tyrants, slaves, freemen, modering side by side
On such day the world was lost and won,
By Pompey at Pharsaia; such day
Saw glorious Hannibal a fugitive;
So faded meath the Macedonian Sun
Persias pale star; so empire passed away
From Harolds brow-but He dsdained to live

Commenting Commissioner Oelkers

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
AS a reader of your paper and an
admirer of its fair, open and above
board manner of treating the Euro
pean war news, manner devoid OF
gratuitous insult to Germans. and
we of German descent but natives OF
the soil, I ask the privilege of space
in the Evening Star to commend Mr.
John B. Oelkers for his stand on the
Newark mayoralty question, as set
forth in his letter to the General
Public"
I have known Mr.. Oelkers for
years and have known Mayor Hauss-
ling since his boyhood. They are
friends of mine. l have been interest
ed in Jacob Haussling since his ad-
vent in politics, way, way back, and
am proud of him and his career, so

lions, and of the open heartedness
that has characterized his entire life.
say I am as proud of him as any
others could possibly be.
l watched the movement to ensnare
Mr. Oellzers into running independent
against Mayor Haussling and won
dered If he would ..fall'' for 1t. He
didn't. With shrewdness and keen
sightedness he read the motives of
those who sought to beguile him, and
his answer was pippin. There was a
head of common-sense to 1T. He
wasn't deceived by flattery or false
pretenses. To be slangy about the
matter it was a case where the flat
terrs failed to get the "Dutchman In
Dutch" ] congratulate Mr.. Oellers.

From the Bradford Era.
Direct taxes by the million in
time of profound peacel" is the OPEN
ing sentence of an editorial In the
Philadelphia Inquirer inyeighing
against the emergency war revenue
bill now pending in Congress. Pro-
found peace, indeedl With the entire
continent of Europe torn by bloody
strife and war at our own door in
Mexico; with export and import trade
practically suspended and business
relations out of joint because of diff
culties in handling exchange and Sc
curing markets, profound peace as
viewed from the partisan angle of the
Quaker City publication is less i'm
pressive than Its title would indi-
cate. Crocodile tears and insincere
criticism launched for the purpose of
discrediting the administration at
Washington will not alter the condi-
ton which threatens tie country $
prosperity, and the Inquirer can do
a much better service for the nation
by accepting the situation as 1t exists
and taking hold in a patriotic way to
bring order out of chaos.

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM THE EXCHANGES

army and navy as washington does.
But its paid spies, having no idealss
did not realize that the war of indie
pendence, the war of 1912 over the
right of search, the civil war over
the integrity of the Union and slav-
cry and even the Spanish war for the
liberation Of Cuba, were all fought for
ideals. Right or wrong, this is Mr..
Wilson's policy in Mexico now.
The present war will have done a
good deal II it teaches bureaucrats
that the information of the spy is
worth about as much as the spy him
self. Being the basest Of mankind,
he furnishes what Is asked.
Wisdom In Vigilance.
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The reports of appearance Of
Asiatic cholera in Russian Poland
and in Vienna and Budapest are dis
quieting. The world may be stand
ing on the threshold of new horrors.
Conditions are exceedingly favorable
to the spread of the disease through
large part of Europe. Armies and
battles may carry it far, but 1t Is also
| to be remembered that in vast re-
| gions where there are no armies and
and sanitation, just now, cannot be
properly met. Disease and pestilence,
accompanying war or following in Its
| wake, have in other times devastated
| cities, countries, almost whole con-
tinents. 1t is more or less reassur-
ing to reflect that scientific knowl-
edge and methods have lessened the
danger; that army sanitation has
been marvelously advanced in recent
years; that the perils that lie in food
and water supplies are recognized,
and that quarantine is nowadays, in
most countries, regarded at It's full
value. But whatever Europe may be
able to do to prevent the spread OF
Asiatic cholera, 1t Is exceedingly inn
| portant that the strictest measures
be taken at American ports to protect
| this country from possible invasion by
| the plague. When awful havoc was
wrought in Europe in 1892 by that
disease. the vigilance of the port au-
thorities OF the United States was the
price Of public safety.

Before even he entered high school,
George Westinghouse determined TO
have a college education. To this end
he saved all the money ne earned, and
at the outbreak OF the Civil war was
ready for college. Dropping his stu.
dies to join the cavalry. he entered
Union college at the close of the war,
and in 1858 patented the wonderful
airbrake with which all passenger
cars and most freight cars are today
equipped.
He was the first to introduce and
develop alternating electric current

he died he was at the head of 80 cor
