SELLING WAR DECORATIONS

The Navy department yesterday sent to the House bill to punish any one selling war decorations. Assist ant Secretary Roosevelt said that pawn shops were displaying many medals and badges.
 It seems there could be little ob- lection to such bill, and much said in it's favor. True it is that ex-serv ice men are sometimes placed in a position of actual hunger, and '''pawning" of some war medal may mean a meal and lodging or more, ac- cording to the heart of the pawn broker.
 But such cases are few and the less of sentimental value that would come from a general disposal of these trophies would be deplorable. Cases have been known where the posses sion ofssuch trophies brought at least temporary success to crooks.
 In one instance a man was, in jail in a small Southern town. He pro- cuced a French Croix de Guerre, and with seeming modesty told of his achievements in France. Good peo- pie looked up his case as far as they were able and made up their minds that he was wronged man. The sight of the Croix de Guerre kept strengthening his assertions. Steps were taken to obtain his freedom.
 The jailer, influenced by the interest of the good people of the town where he was confined on a rather serious charge, gave him certain amount o1 | liberty. He was a "trusty."
 At length an official who knew ol | the man and the details of the case sent word that he was coming to the good people" and the war hero.'
 This information was given the pris | oner the day before the appearance o1
 the official.
 | That night, having helped himself
 to clothing and other things belong
 ing at the jail, he made his escape afraid, apparently to face the officia
 who knew the truth concerning him
 He was never found
 The man may have been in France l he may possibly have gained the Croil
 de Guerre, but it is probable rather that he had purchased or stolen it Thus it's possession was the final straw I which led to his escape.
 | If men cannot guard their wa, ] trophies, the law should prevent oth iers profiting by their possession.

THE CHILDREN'S HOME.

Bright, well-nigh inspiring are the reports that come from the Children's Home in this city. Quietly it has zone along for eighteen years never asking for drives to aid it financially, but prospering until today home is furnished for 14O children, between infants and young men and women of IS or 19 years, who have been under the constant supervision and care of those interested. possibly beyond any, thing else, in their welfare.
 saDr. J. E. Kingberg, who has charge : ef-the institution, emphasizes at this time, the new value which the late war has shown to exist in human life. Never before, is his belief, has full emphasis been given to the >signifi- canoe of a living body and never be- fore has there been time when the spiritual side of man or woman, boy or girl, should be so deeply consid- cred.
 = To this end the head of this fine Institution emphasizes the need of bringing to the fore the realization of Bible tSuths in the mind of the child. He praises the local schools for their efficiency; he is glad of the interest in s'his children shown in the Sunday schools, and he is eager to have the moral nature of those young people over whom he watches, developed in accordance with the precepts of the great book. These teachings, he feels, should be. carried into the homes, and in the Children's Home they are emphasized.
 Possibly many do not realize that in this Home New Britain has place where baby may be taken, may grow through childhood and into young manhood or womanhood under the best influences possible of procuring where so many are gathered to- gether. A lad may be taken into the school at any time up to his ninth ol tenth birthday. After that it is hard to admit him because of the habits o1 deed and thought that he is apt te

HAPPY CHILDREN-AND TAXES

The little ones, as they read their

 p the knowledge that it looks quite |certain that the tax on ice cream will
 ee levied no more after January 1, |1v1z. They will be sorry however, ItAAt their cones will cost just as |nuch as they do now, for the rest of |ehis summer, but with the tendency |Aoward bright hopesulness that is Characteristic of their farsightedness, they will look forward to next sum uaer, the lower price they will have
 to pay for their ice cream, and they will dream of greater indulgence in fhat substance so popular. with child |ksod.
 For they, as we'll as adults, will
 learn that the luxury tax repeal for 1892 has been approved by Republi- can members of the House Ways and Means committee and that the Demo- erats will not be likely to oppose the repeal
 When the children have finished reading the paper and have handed 1t over to father or mother. after tAeir wont, the older ones will be glad to see that taxes on sporting geods and wearing apparel costing over a certain amount. will be cut off. v 1>xnxy Aa f, that the ice cream and soda water tax repeal will mean a loss to the govern nent of about 2,oOO,0OO for the rest of the present fiscal year, and the re- peal of other luxury taxes will cost the government about $10,000, ,O00. The older people do not feel as much concern about these matters. unless they happen to be merchants or others who, in their business, have been bothered by these nuisance tAxes," as they do about the taxes levied by the city in which they live <. If such adults are people of small means, average business persons laborers or farmers or workers at  trades they will be inclined to be glad that Senator Smoot proposes to have Congress receive the. power to tax incomes derived from obligations t1sued or created by state or any political subdivision thereof
 Be the adults wealthy, holding securities thus issued, or be they members of the board of finance and taxation of such a subdivision, they will view the proposed amendment with disfavor-the rich because muct Of his. income is derived from suc1 sources; the "city fathers becaus' 1 they have difficulty enough in dispos jnk of such city obligations as it has At any rate the children will b pleased-and many others.

THE JITNEY SITUATION.

Judge Thomas decision yesterday when he vacated the temporary in- junction obtained by the jitney inter- ests preventing the authorities from interfering with their running. in no way decides the merits of the case.
 A temporary injunction may be granted on slight grounds when It seems that those seeking 1t will be harmed, if it is not granted, In such way that nothing can ever make up for such injury. One might obtain a temporary injunction to stop another from cutting down q tree in such a manner that it would fall on ones house and cave it in, for instance. if such a case is conceivable.
 When steps are taken to set that temporary injunction aside, and there appear doubts as to whether or not the complainant would be 70 injured, and where it is shown that injury which could never be made up for would not necessarily follow, the tenn porary injunction will be set aside (vacated) until arguments on the merits of the case--whether or not an ,.interlocutory' injunction should be granted, may be heard.
 There will be such a hearing August l16.
 The judge was especially 10th to con- l tinue the restraining order granted by | him, and which was by him vacated yesterday, as he recognized the Au- thority of the state to enforce it's own laws. This enforcement should not be interfered with by the United States courts, one of which he constituted at the hearing of the motion, except where the rights of those seeking such Interference with the state law wa. lclear and beyond dispute.

 remedy and should be made use o1

 hand in state matters.

Ambitious Scheme for

LIMA, June Am ambitious
scheme for development of Perus
railway system is said to be under
consideration by the government. 1t
includes the building Of two snorth
and south lines and one or more
railways connecting the western
coast with the navigable rivers on
the eastern frontier.
There are now approximately l.
700 miles of railways in operation
in the country, 1900 miles of which
are said to be controlled by the Pc
ruvian corporation, a British con-
Germ.
Engineering difficulties and the
almost prohibitive cost of construc-
ton have been directly responsible
in the past for the slowness with
which railway construction has been
pushed in the river valleys of Peru,
according to Daniel Waters, United
