ELECTRIC COMPETITION

STEAM LINES PREPARING TO HOLD THEIR PASSENGER THAFF1C. Wnbnsh Purchases Ground nt Pittsburg for Depot Pennsylvania to Tighten Its Hold at Toledo. While the number of steam railways that have trolley-line competition are taking steps to protect themselves against the Inroads on their business, none have gone farther than the Dayton & Union Railway Company, which is owned by the Big Four and the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton. Some months ago W. F. Stark, superintendent of the Dayton & Union joint tracks, put on six trains between Dayton and Union each way. This number will be increased to twelve trains every day In the week. Including sunday. Some new coaches, specially designed, have been fitted up for this lino of traffic. They cost $14,000 each and are perfect in every detail. Each car has Its baggage-room, Its smoking department and its ladies' section. All cars have plate glass windows, perfect ventilation and light and heating apparatus equal to any emergency. A new feature Is the Invisible air brakes, which are Inside the truck. The greatest novelty In connection with the building of these new coaches is the Avery system of acetylene car lighting, which is Introduced for the first time in this part of the country. It Is the intention to cut the time from Greenville to Dayton In two. A test on Tuesday showed that the run could be made In forty-six minutes. It will also be the aim to cut the rate In two. Another feature of the competition the electric roads will have to face is known as the two-trip ticket, which Is about one-half of the regular rate a feature which will command general attention. The elegant, comfortable trains of the Dayton & Union will, In the winter, be very successful. All over the country there Is now a good deal of interest taken In the increasing competition between the trolley lines and steam roads. While the trolley roads have not cut into the steam trains as much as might be supnosed they would, it Is felt more or less. It was thought this new competition would create new business, and i: has. Time is demonstrating that the lower fares on the interurban lines, with a great many people where their time Is of little value, are drawing travel when the weather is suitable to get over the country leisurely. In bad weather, especially cold, winter weather, the steam roads, of course, have the advantage, but all roads which have trolley competition to contend with are studying the problem of how to meet It best, as in the ca?e of the Indianapolis & Vincennes. the Louisville division of the Pennsylvania lines and the Panhandle, and in twelve months there will Le hardly an Indianapolis road that will not have trolley competition to contend with. Personal. Local and General Note. The title of the Southwestern Freight Bureau has been changed to Southwestern Tariff Committee. The Lake Erie & Western will place an additional train on its division between Fort Wayne and Connersville. On Sunday the Vandalla had five excursion traiirs to Lake Maxinkuckee. each consisting of from ten to twelve well loaded coaches. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad directors declared the usual semi-annual dividend of 2 per cent, on the common and preferred stock yesterday. O. J. Alln, representing the f reicht department of the Great Northern, and E. A. Barnes, of the Lehigh Valley, are in the city calling on shippers. Harry Hoover, private secretary to George Graves, superintendent of the Indiana. Decatur & Western, returned yesterday from his two weeks' vacation. The last day's shipment of grain from points on the Indiana, Decatur te Western have set In briskly, reaching seventy to seventy-five cars per day, chiefly corn and oats. The Southern Indiana is preparing to build 50 new coal cars in its shops, utilizing in their construction the new draught gearing recently patented by 11. Lewis, the master car bul'.der. General Manager Peck, of the Pennsylvania lines west, and D. T. McCabe, freight traffic manager, have been spending a couple of days on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago division. Like the roadbed of the Southern Indiana, all buildings are of the "most substantial character. The freight and passenger stations at Seymour and the roundhouse will be constructed of Bedford stone. What will be an exclusively freight line is t'. be built by the Michigan Central between Niles and Buchanan. Mich., via what is known as the St. Joseph River route, the object being to avoid a steep grade. The Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton and the Pennsylvania lines north are having the heaviest run of travel to Michigan pleasure resorts they have ever handled, and find difficulty In furnishing sleepingcar accomodations. As a matter of self-protection against inroads on business of the Lake Shore by the Wabash, the former will build an extension of its Fayette branch west to Rutler. where it will connect with the Air line divisions of the Lake Shore. The law passed by the New York State Legislature last winter forbidding traffic in railroad tickets by others than authorized agents of railroad companies, was declared unconstitutional to-day by the appellate division of the state Supreme Court. The Toledo Blade says that, scaled, signed and approved in the safe of the Wabash Railroad Company's office at St. Loui is a contract for the transportation of I.k.chj tons of iron and steel products annually' as soon as their line into Pittsburg is opened. On Sunday the J. N. Guffey division. No. 57l. of the Brotherhood of Locomotive' Engineers, was Instituted at Greensburg, Pa The organization makes six divisions' now in existence on the Pittsburg division of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The division starts out with a membership of thirty-four. It has leaked out that at the meeting of the Ohio Coal Traffic Association in Detroit a few days ago a decision was arrived at to advance the rate on coal to the Michigan line 10 cents on the ton on the basis of the movement from the mines to Toledo. This advance docs not go into effect until fall. An Impression prevails that Chief Kalner will promote F. J. Barr traveling inspector the Indianapolis district of the highway and inspection bureau, as Mr. Lckman's successor, as on like occasions vacancies caused by resignation or death have been filled by promotion of some one connected with the organization and well-informed regarding its necessities. In some quarters fears are expressed that the extension of the Wabash into Pittsburg may lead to a rate war with the powerful Pennsylvania interests, and should the Pennsylvania pursue a hostile policy and the Wabash enter Into combination with other lines in the establishment of a route to the Atlantic seaboard it might possibly result in a rate war affecting all the trunk lines. It. J. Gross, second vice president of the American Locomotive Company, representing the Brooks locomotive works, was in the city yesterday in conference with J. A. Barnard, general manager of the Peoria 6i Eastern, concerning the construction of the ten consolidated engines which are under contract to be delivered in December. They are practically the same type as were built for the Big Four recently. A Toledo paper says that the Pennsylvania will build a union passenger station at that city covering the block between Jefferson and Monroe street, and that the station will be used by nearly every northern line entering the city and perhaps by the Toledo. St. Louis & Western. As planned. It will be one of the largest and finest passenger stations In Ohio, and special provision will be made to handle the lake pas?enser trafllc. The promoters of the Wabash Railroad Company have purchased a site at the corner of Fourtli avenue and Cherry street, at Pittsburg, and engineers are at work outlining plans for a terminal passenger and freight station. A passenger station to cot l.ui.0.O is contemplated. The committee on corporations is expected to act favorably on the ordinance givlr.r certain streets in the city, and as soon as this is passed the Wabash Company will announce more definitely Its plans for terminals. Fast freight line erficlnls. who have experienced so much trouble in ecuring room for export business, and hae h id to submit to any rates that the ocean steamship companies saw fit to demand, will be pleased to learn that twenty-eight ocean :ea;nshlps are now in process of construction for the companies ope: a tint; lines between New York and foreign se-t ports, and these are. moreover, further additions to a great mer

cantile fleet which has nearly doubled In carrying capacity within five years. A. J. Smith, general passenger agent of the Lake Shore, in taking the Initiative for making arrangements to permit such Knights Templars as cared to do so visiting the Pan-American Exposition when en route home from the national conclave to be held at Louisville, returning from Buffalo to Chicago by some of the regular local lines from Buffalo nt a modest rate for service, has made a sharp proposition, and some of the shrewder ones suggest that this is one word for the Knights and two for the Lake Shore. At a meeting of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company in New York yesterday the following new directors were elected in accordance with the eecent letter of J. I. Morgan: James J. Hill, E. H. Harriman, William W. Rockefeller. 11. McK. Twombley and Samuel Rea. These men take the places of Edward D. Adams. R. M. Callaway. Samuel Spencer. Dumont Clarke and Walter G. Oakman. The new board in full is as follows: Robert Bacon, George F. Baker, Edward 11. Harriman. James J. Hill, Brayton Ives. D. Willis James. John S. Kennedy. Daniel S. Lamont. Charles S. Mellen. Samuel Rea. William Rockefeller, Charles Steele. James Stillman. Eben B. Thomas, Hamilton McK. Twomtdey. The meeting at which this action was taken was very short. The directors adjourned after electing the new members. E. 11. Fltzhugh. recently appointed assistant to the president of the Southern Pacific, is a voung man with a fine record as an operating official. He commenced railroading as a clerk in different offices of the St. Louis, Kansas City & Northern; later he was made chief clerk to the superintendent of th? western division of ths Wabash. In 14 he was made master of transportation of the Wabash system at Moberly. Mo. January. ISM, found him at Toronto as superintendent of the Grand Trunk, and in May. lv. he was made vice president and general manager of the Central Vermont. In May of the present year he was called to the Southern Pacilic byPresident Hayes, and after he had Inspected everv foot of the system ne was made assistant to the president, which position practically gives him general management of the property. A railway official who pays a good deal of attention to statistics, in speaking of the last report of the Interstate Commerce Commission, which only came up to June 30. yyo, said it did not show the actual condition that now prevails. It reports 1.01,5''3 railroad employes, and thecompensation of railway employes was $3m. 254. Ml. He thought investigation would show that there had been no increase in employes in the year ending June 30. 1001, but that the payroll would show an Increase in wages on railways. While doubtless a larger tonnage has been handled the last year, and more passengers carried, economies have been introduced which enable the roads to do the Increased business without an increase in number of employes, and he questioned whether the limit had been reached In the reduction in the number of employes. Heavier engines and larger cars were working great reforms in the cost of transportation, and feared that the so-called community of interets would make changes which would enable the roads to operate their lines with even fewer men than now. By this, he said he meant there would be a consolidation of agencies, a reduction In the number of fast freight lines and numerous other economies that have been broached since so many railway consolidations have been effected.

TWO REAL ESTATE DEALS THE AV. J. 1IOLL1DAY COMPANY BUYS GROUND FOR A WAREHOUSE. Pabst Ilrewliis Corapnny Buy Ilellevne Hoadhoune nntl Will Make 31a u Improvements. Two large real-estate deals were consummated yesterday, on? of them being the sale of a piece of valuable ground through the agency of Crowe. Craft & Bryan to th3 W. J. Holliday company from the Indianapolis Abattoir Company for a consideration of $16.500. The ground lies at the northeast corner of Georgia and Missouri streets and is 101 feet frontage and a depth of 1C3 feet. It is understood the new owners will erect a large warehouse on the site, as their business has outgrown their Meridian-street location. There are switch facilities at the location fcr the new warehouse which will give the firm splendid opportunity for handling freight. Another sale made yesterday by J. J. Kreber was 3 Co-lo acres from Anna Truemper to G. G. Pabst, of the Pabst Brewing Company, of Milwaukee, for S'J.OOO cash. This ground is known as Believue. where a roadhouse has been conducted for a number of years. It Is situated on the sjuth side of Fairview. It is the intention of the purchaser to erect commodious buildings fcr tnc convenience and entertainment of th public, and it will be converted into a tirrt-ciass resort where people can find recreation and pleasure. THE WATER CUT OFF. lue of lllx St renin In Military Park Caused the Trouble. For about one hour yesterday afternoon the water supply of Military Park was cut off. This was due to an order issued by Vice President Davis, of the water company, when he received information that three streams of water from large hose were being u?ed In the park while fire pressure was on. The custodian of the park telephoned Superintendent Power, of the Park Board, and Mr. Power rrangec; tho matter with Mr. Davis to have the water turned on. Mr. Davis said he will not permit the city to use water in the parks while tire pressure is on and will not ptrmit the use of hose without nozzles. Mr. Power claimed the custodian of the park said the representative of the water company would permit but one stream of water to be used. Mr. Power says that one itreamof water would not furnish water enough for the flower, and the grass would die. Mr. Davis taid the city can use more than one stream of water in tho parks if nozzles are used on the ho.-e and if the water is turned off during fires. Will Analyze Milk. The Board of Health wiil secure samples of milk sold by all dairymen in the city to make tests for formaldehyde or other forms of preservatives. This is the kind of weather that prevents milk from remaining frerh very long, and unscrupulous milkmen use formaldehyde. The board will prosecute any mil k man using preservatives in his milk. W. D. BARNES ARRESTED. He Traveled for the Cleveland OH Com itnny, W. D. Barnes, a traveling salesman for the Cleveland Oil Company, was arrested yesterday at the postoifice by Detectives Asch and Wallace.

MOVING DAY AT ACTON

TWEXTY-SI.T FAMILIES MOVED HOUSEHOLD GOODS TO GROUNDS. One of the Qnletest Moving Day in the History of the Assembly Formal Opening To-Day. Moving day yesterday at Acton Park found more people at the park than on like days in former years. During the day about twenty-six families went out to the grounds and unpacked their household goods and arranged their cottages for the annual meeting, which begins to-day. One of the noticeable things about the first day was the cleanlines of the grounds. Nowhere was to be seen even a piece of paper on the grass. The grounds have been cleaned and arranged to make a nice appearance. From noon until late in the evening a force of women was kept busy washing benches and arranging the furniture In the barnlike structure used for the meeting-house. A great deal of comment was heard about yesterday being the quietest moving day that was ever known in the history of the association. A large number of families have been on the grounds since early In the spring. The intense heat of the day kept many from going out and unloading their furniture. In all, there are about one hundred families now on the grounds. The business meeting, which was to have been held yesterday, was postponed until this afternoon on account of several of the trustees being away and unable to be present. Mrs. Gadd, of Indianapolis, who was elected secretary of the association at the meeting held in May, has resigned her office, and in her stead Miss Akin, daughter of the county recorder. L. G. Akin, is acting secretary. Miss Akin was kept quite busy yesterday recording names of newcomers and listing the cottages and getting receipts ready. No new cottages have been erected during the past year and little Improvements made on the grounds. To-day is the formal opening of the camp. The morning will be devoted to a praise meeting, nnd at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon Rev. C. W. Tinsley will give the opening sermon. This evening at 7:43 o'clock a special song service, conducted by William L. Steeg, will be given. This latter service promises to be one of the features of the camp this summer. A large chorus has been in training for some time. IN MEMORY OF J. B. ECKMAN. Members of Two Annociations Pass ItcMolutions. The death of J. B.

AMALIA KÜSSNER SUED QUEER PIlOCEEDIf;S AFFECTING THE NOTED INDIANA ARTIST. Legal Mystery In the Supreme Court of New York Cuuwe of Mrs. Illanche Lincoln Suit Not Known. New York Journal. A mysterious suit has been filed in the Supreme Court of New Y'ork against Mrs. Charles du Pont Coudert, better known as Amaha Kussner, the world-famous miniature painter, who has just finished the portraits of the Czar and Czarina of Russia and Mrs. George Gould, with a child in her arms. The suit was brought by Mrs. Blanche Lincoln, of New Y'ork. The plaintiff asks for $123,000 damages. Mrs. Coudert has retained Delancey Nicoll to defend her. Mrs. Blanche Lircoln has retained Lawyers Howe, Grossmann & Vorhaus to prosecute the case." The name of a former admirer appears in the legal papers, which the attorneys on both sides have thus far failed to file. The case 'was set for June 2ti for trial. It was adjourned and will be tried in October unless a compromise is effected. Why Mrs. Lincoln has brought this suit against the lovely painter of miniatures all parties concerned refuse to say. A determined effort Is being made to keep It all very quiet. Whv does Mrs. Blanche Lincoln, of New York city, think Mrs. Amalia Kussner Coudert, of Chicago, ought to pay her $123,oou damages damages for wh-u? Nobody will answer. Mrs. Coudert, defendant, declines to say. Mrs. Lincoln, who brings the mysterious suit, says "wait, and you shall see." The lawyers for both sides, say, "We hope the public will never know." It is a queer sort of a mystery of the courts; the legal papers all locked up and the lawyers very mysterious. Whatever the future developments at tho trial, it is I sure to be a most interesting one, because the defendant, known the world over, is such a talented and rarely interesting young woman. Amalia Kussner, America's Angelica Kaufman, is to-day considered the greatest miniature painter of the whole world. From painting the miniature of Cecil Rhodes, at Kimberly, South Africa, she was called to the court of all the Russias to reproduce on ivory the portraits of the Czar and Czarina. Miss Kussner, who has the distinction of having painted all the celebrated beauties of Europe and America, to say nothing of tne most famous crowned heads of the world, shows in her miniature of the Czarina, perhaps more than in any of her other work, not only her enius as an artist, but h-r study of the personality of her subJCtfe' SUMMONED BY ROYALTY'. It was when In St. Petersburg painting a miniature of the Grand Duchess Vladimir that Miss Kussner was summoned to the Winter Palace to make a miniature of the Czarina. Miss Kussner was surprised and delighted by the unaffected hospitality with which she was received, and she loves to recall the glimpse of real home life which she discovered at the Winter Palace of the Czar of all the Russias. The Czarina Is more the wife and mother and less the queen than tho:-e who see her at affairs of state could possibly Imagine. Though very diffident, her manners are charmingly natural, and in a way almost girlish. She is happiest when alone with her husband and children. So pleased was the Czarina with the dainty little American miniature artist and the work of her brain and brush that she not only persuaded the Czar to have his portrait painted on Ivory too, but as an expression of her appreciation of Miss Kussner's work she gave the young artist at parting a bracelet of wonderful diamonds and rare rubies. Miss Kussner's visit with the Czar and Czarina of all the Russias was but one of the very Interesting experiences of her eventful life. She came determined to succeed, though never In her life had she taken a single lesson in drawing or painting. What she knew, and she knew much, she had taught herself. In a surprisingly short time her genius had conquered every obstacle. Amalia Kussner, the little miniature artist from the West, became not only known but sought. She was the rage. Society fiocked to see her work. And then thick and fast came orders for miniatures. The highest fashion of New Y'ork soon monopolized her work. Miss Kussner's first friend In New York. In fact, her fairy godmother, was Mrs. Theodore Havemeyer. It was Mrs. Haverr.eyer who discovered Miss Kussner and told others of her genius. It was not only the exquisite beauty, but the spiritual element of the young artist's work that first appealed to Mrs. Havemeyer. Miss Kussner was allowed to paint Mrs. Havemeyer' portrait. After It was exhibited to society the success of the young girl artist was assured. All the beautiful women In New Y'ork's most exclusive society were then anxlou to pose for Miss Kussner. She painted such famous beauties as Mrs. John Jacob Astor. Miss Atherton Blight, Mrs. Lortllard Spencer. Mrs. Van .' Rensselaer Cruger, Mrs. Oliver Belmont. Miss May Goelet and a long list of other wed-known women of fashion and beauty. RECENT WORK. One of Miss Kussner's very recent miniatures is of Mrs. George Gould and her child. It 1 not only an exquisite bit of art, but an excellent portrait of Mrs. Gould.

But Miss Kussner's successes are by no means confined alone to America. She took London society by storm. Under the wing, so to speak, of Mrs. Arthur Paget, she established herself in London. One of her first orders Tas to go out to Blenheim and paint a miniature of the Duchess of Marlborough. From there she went to Easton Lodge, to reproduce on ivory the exquisite beauty of the Countess of Warwick. At this same time Miss Kussner painted the portraits of such well-known English beauties as Lady Naylor Leylanr, Miss Muriel Wilson. Lady Feo Stuart, Lady Colebrook and the Countess of Dudley. Sdice then she has painted King Edward. Cecil Rhodes, the Czar of Russia and many men of great prominence both in London and America. Miss Kussner, though a rapid worker, is a most conscientious one. In painting a miniature she never touches a brush to the ivory until she feels she understands the personality of her subject. Sometimes one entire sitting Is given up alone to this, in working every stroke of the fine brushes Is made under a powerful magnifying gl-ass. In the draping of her subjects Miss Kussner also shows the artist. She uses the filmiest of gauze to drape the corsage, and sometimes the shoulders, and frequently she lets a flower or two give the color touch she needs. As for Miss Kussner, the woman, her personality is most winsome. Dainty herself she seems to represent her .art. She has wonderful eyes, dark and flashing, and brilliant coloring. Though absorbed in her work it has not been to the exclusion of all else. Miss Kussner has loved and worked all the better because of it. About a year ago she became the wife of Captain Dupont Coudert. of New York's celebrated Coudert family of brains and wealth.

QUAY S PATH OF LIFE. It Came Very Near Being: Cnst in the Fnr South. New Y'ork Press. Senator Quay came within an ace of being a Southerner by adoption, just as the guat Seward did. Seward was actually settled for life In Georgia, but when his Southern sweetheart jilted him he returned to New Y'ork and made his home In Auburn, his soul full of bitterness toward his fellowmen in Eatonton, Ga. Quay, when a youth just out of college, seventeen years of age, went to Madison county. Mississippi, with a chum of the name of Griffin, whose parents, sister and brother Pved on a fine plantation on the Big Black river, a noble fork of the Mississippi. Here the Jefferson College graduate remained one year, boating, hunting, fishing, watching the cotton grow and, incidentally, falling in love with Miss Lizzie Griflin, the iovely daughter of the house. Fired with ambition by the half-promise of a reciprocal love, young Qay set out for Shreveport, La., to study law. He was accompanied by his Fid us Achates. Gri.hn, and their determination was to gain admission to the tar as soon as possible and begin the practice of law together, the firm name to be Griffin & Quay, attorneys and counselors, etc. But hardly had they begun their studies when Griffin was informed of the sudden death of his father. This sad event necessitated his Immediate return to the plantation, whither he was accompanied j by Quay, who was still a rc-nsioner on the bounty of his rich friend. Affairs of love were knocked Into a cocked hat, and Quay, provided with funds by hi.- chum, returned to his home in Pennsylvania, finishing his legal studies at Pittsburg. He was admitted to the bar In 1.SÖ1, and a yeir later was appointed prothonotary of Beaver county. That was his entrance Into politics. Ten yc-ars pasred. Matthew Stanley Quay was assistant commissary general of Pennsylvania with the rank of lieutenant co!onel. Ills law practice, assisted by his politics, made him Independently comfortable if not rich. He wrote to Madison county, Mississippi, to inquire how the Griffins were getting on. Miss Lizzie, married in the meantime, replied to his letter, and a friendly correspondence was begun that lasted many years. The war reduced the Griflins to the verge of poverty, and Quay, In some way learning of these conditions, paid back all the moneys advanced by his chum and the senior Mr. Griffin at compound Interest for the entire period that had elapsed since his visit to Mississippi. He afterward sent checks for large sums of money to enable his former friends to clear their old home from debt. Miss Lizzie had In the meantime a son from her marriage who in the late eighties was In search of employment. Quay, learning of this, had the boy appointed to a lucrative government position In New Orleans, which he filled creditably until his death a few years ago. Later, when Mr. McKinley was elected President, Miss Lizzie, now a penniless widow, became an applicant for the office of postmistress of Canton, Miss., and Quay, In the face of the fiercest opposition, obtained for her the appointment. The senator has ever been loyal and grateful to every member of the Griffin family. What Is it, Fate? Who can say? Matt Quay might have been an ordinary, pettifogging. Indolent lawyer in Louisiana or Mississippi but for the death of Mr. Griffin. He might have fought on the Confederate side In the war. Pennsylvania might never have known the ablest political manager that the Keystone State ever produced but for his unexpected return to his native soil. Matt Quay has been called nearly every bad name In the dictionary of the vulgar tongue. Not even Croker has been so lavishly epltheted. And. believing that there is Inherent good in every man. no matter ho'v he may appear on the surface. It Is a pleasant diversion to write these good things of him who has been so generously traduced and vilified by men of all political parties. A little gratitude covers n multitude of sins. Quay will soon be sixty-tight yearn old. He has been through enough to be 1. Mlatake of Certain Laborers. Salt Lake Tribune. The labor unions have brought sufficient influence to bear upon the City Council of New Castle, Pa., to secure a rejection of Mr. Carnegie's offer of $40.0 O for the establishment of a flee library In that town. Th

unions give as a reason the opposition shown by Mr. Carnegie to organized labor. It is the clearest case of biting off one' nose to spite one's face on record. Those union men. one would think, for the ake of their children, would be xiad to get a gift of that kind from friend or from foe. The fact that they do not care for it Is a pretty good proof that they are not capable of handling a union or anything else. DOCTOR'S AWFUL BLLNDKR.

The Result Wan that a Child Burned to Denth. Leslie's Weekly. A case of human suffering with mort pitiable and distressing features has not appeared In public print In many & day than that described in a newspaper dispatch from Louisville, Ky.. where a child four years of age was siowly roasted to death through being wrapped In material which took fire, it is supposed, spontaneously. The little one had been previously burned by its dress catching fire, but it injuries from this cause were not revere and it might easily have recovered. The child was put in bed and the burns dusted with subnltrate of bismuth, then linseed oil was freely poured on. and the part wrapped In cotton batting and a sheet pinned around it tfnugly, and, lastly, a nullt was wrapped around this. Instruction were given not to remove the dressing. The child complained bitterly all night long, the parents thinking that the suffering Tae due to the original burn. About dayllftit they saw smoke arising from the bed, but. being very Ignorant people, thought it wa the "fire leaving the burn," and did not remove the dressing until later, when the child was dying. Upon removing the dressing they found that tne inner side of the sheet was scorched, the cotton battlnj wae burned almost entirely up (over the abdomen) and still smoldering. The child was burned Into the Intestines in three placet and died In a few minutes. It Is difficult not to entertain a feeling of resentment and Indignation against the physician In this case as the one chiefly responsible for the awful torture to which this helpless little one was subjected. Surely a physician fit to practice the profession must have known the large possibilities for danger lying In such a combination of materials as that In which this child was inclosed. The difficulty was not In the ignorance of the unfortunate parents, but in the carelessness, or worse, of the attending physician. Crying Literary Need. "Yorlck," in San Francisco PosL Whet San Francisco needs more than Carnegie's money Is a literary censor for our public librarj'. Two censors would be better than one, and thre censors Tould do the work more effectively than two. One of these censors should be a man with a hoe. another should be a man with an u, and the third .should be a man with a ho9 in one hand and an ax in the other. The committee should convene In "executive session" immediately, and the man with the hoe should bein by removing the wcede that grow in Elizabeth's "German Garden:' the man with the ax should proceed to the fermg of such monstrous growths as "Babs the impossible." and the cleaving of "The Helmet of Navarre" from crest to corselet; and the man with the ambidextrous apparatus should grub out "The Arrows of the Almighty" and sever at a single trenchant stroke the ne-ck that bears the uneasy lying head that wears a "Puppet Crown." "Stringtown on the Pike" should be removed from the map. "John Charity should be transplanted to the private library of Mayor Phelan, and "The Heirs of Yesterday" should be disinherited and evicted from squatter hereditament enfeoffed by popular stupidity. Boston has such a committee of excision, and that Is why the Roston novel reader Is superior, Intellectually, morally nnd psychically to the novel reader of the San Francisco public library. Compulsory I'ntonlsm the Issae. Brooklyn Eagle. The whole thing bolls Itself down to compulsory unionism. From that there is no escape. If that can win, the MHke will succeed, if that cannot win the strike w'll fail. The difference between compulsory unionism and any other form of compulsion cannot be seen. It cannot be seen, because there Is none. Compulsion is the conquest of the wiil, the overthrow of individual liberty, and the control of one'e action by another. That was accomplished once lr. the case of some labor In this country. But it was negro labor, and the system was brought to an end. It will hardly be absolutely accomplished in the case of any other labor. Some capital for awhile tried to enforce compulsory nonunionism on labor, with results which were not successful. The effort of unionism itself to make Itself compulsory on as much labor as does not voluntarily wish to belong to it cannot be successful. Compulsion wins not more than freedom in the loi.g run. Men must be free to unite, which Is conceded now, but they must be equally free to decline to unite with others if that is their wish. That cause will win, no matter what the shifts, the crises and the changes may be. or may seem to be. between now and the end. Widely Scattered Triplets. London Tit-Bits. An old soldier who ha! served his twentyone years was lichrged at Portsmouth. He went to the station with his wife and children and demanded three half-fare tickets for his three youngest. "How oid are they?" asked the booking clerk, suspiciously. "Elivin years, all av them. They're thrlplets." was the answer. "Fine youngsters," said the clerk, 'where were they born?" "Pathrick was born in Cairo, Bridget was born In Bombay an" Mlckev was born in Madras," was the proud reply. Equally Irrelevant Facta. Brooklyn Eagle. The New York Journal says that several people have died who wer related to lawyers on one side or the other of the Molineux case. It U also a fact that the Mgners of the Declaration of independence are no more, and that their children and grandchildren have also passed away.
