OVER THE RIVER

OVER THE RIVER For none return from those quiet shores, Who cross with the boatman, cold and pale. We hear the dip of the golden oars And catch gleam of the snowy sail And To! they have passed from our yearning heart, Who cross the stream and gone for aye. We may not sunder the vail apart, That hides from our vision the gates of day, We only know that their barks no more May sail with us OCT life's stormy sea, Yet somewhere, I know, on the unseen shore They watch and beckon and wait for me And sit and think, when the sunsets gold Is flushing river and hill and shore I shall one day stand by the water cold And list for the sound of the boatman's oar. T shall watch for gleam of the Tapping sail. II shall hear the boat as it gains the strand shall pass from sight with the boatman pale To the better shore of the spirit land I shall know the loved who have gone before And joyfully sweet the meeting be- When over the river, the peaceful river The Angel of Death shall carry me.

Kaceys Offer Court
 Ideas To Help Boys
Plan Will Attempt to Prevent 'First Offenders" From
 Starting Off on Wrong ROad-ApprOvaI Doubtful

An effort to aid the lecal courts in attempting to prevent first off, lenders" to embark on a life of crime has been instituted by Sheri- dan Council, Knights of Columbus. the organization proposing that certain boys, arrested for the first time. be placed on probation in it's custody to give the council a chance to keep the boys from be- coming habitual criminals by giv- ing them new and healthier inter ests in life than those to which they have become accustomed.
 The plan was proposed to Judge Edward Mascolo this morning by John F. Robinson. grand knight of Sheridan Council. acting for the executive committee of the local Knights of Columbus. It will like wise be proposed to Judge John F. McGrath, and it's approval will be, sought from Emil Hummel and Miss Kathleen Crowley. city court probation officers.
 It is doubtful at this time if the proposed plan will meet the ap- proval of court officials, but 1t is known that Sheridan Council will take every step possible to have the proposal approved and made a part of court. procedure. If ap- proval can be won. the plan will be put into effect immediately aft erward.
 Those backing the movement point out that lads sent to reforma- tories or other correctional" in stitutions fall among bad influences and many times end their sentences ready to begin a whole life either of actual crime or of lack of inter- est in laws and statutes. Even youths placed on probation, they feel, cannot, of necessity, be given as much personal study and in- teRest as they need to turn their lives into ones profitable to them selves and to society.
 What the council proposes Is that such youths. if 1t be their first Offense against law and order. and If the court believes that there is yet . good chance to make them useful members of society, be placed on probation. and placed under the custody of the Knights of Columbus. once this was done. the cohncil would investigate the lads background and interests, find his likes and dislikes. and attempt to give him wholesome and profitable interests in life which will keep him a friend of society and prevent

Between $60,O00 and $65,000 will be restored to the payrolls of the New Haven railroad today, 1t Is officially announced. Today's restoration of pay is the second one-fourth restoration of pay cut which took effect February-1, 1892.
 It is estimated that workers throughout the country, members of the 21 railroad brotherhoods, have suffered q wage loss of nearly $400. 100000 since that time. The cut was renewed last spring and after long controversy, it was agreed to reduce the amount in three stages.
 Under the agreement the in- crease effective today comes six months after the first restoration of one-fourth reduction of the pay cut. The final five per cent will bo restored April l, 1885 and the en- tire brotherhood will then be back on a pre-depression wage basis.
 Tomorrow's pay restoration, in addition to a similar amount re- stored three months ago, will give employees of the New Haven road $125,O00 more monthly for the first three months of 1885 than they received during a similar pe- riod last year.
