Syracuse Journal SYRACUSE, - - IND. Who was Tt started the rumor that spring was gentle? The three wives of the Grand Vizier of Morocco poisoned/, him. It was unanimous. / It is a pity that the white plague continues to stalk Abroad when there is so much fresh air at large. ‘ % Having led the world in a tout around the globe* our navy is now proposing to lead in development at home. J Incendiaries tried to burn down an engine house in a New York suburb. This was certainly adding insult to injury. Acetylene torches for use in densa tog haye been supplied to the Parisian police staMons. It would seem that the London police would need , them more. A six-year-old girl in Brooklyn has two heads. It must be something of. a strain on her lungs xtjhefi she gets into an animated conversatioh .with herself. An automobile scorcher at Yonkers has been fined SSO and compelled to furnish bonds that he will not drive a car for a year. This is something like punishment. ./ An Ohio authority says that drunkenness is an evidence of Insanity. It is quite generally agreed now that it Is a ’disease, but we still continue to treat it legally as a crime. t Sad is the lot of the man who by putting forth extraordinary efforts gets his boy to agree to a safe and sane Fourth of July only to become k victim to the foolishness of football. The new census is expected to show that 5,000,000 people live in New York. Fudging from the things that happen kt some New York weddings, a large percentage of the 5,000,000 must be tools. « A Holy Roller prophet somewhere in the east predicted that the end of the world would come recently. We have watched the news dispatches carefully, and are able to State in the moat positive manner that the end did/’t come. The Carnegie Steel issued orders to its thirty-five thousand men that henceforth there will be no more Sunday work, except in the case of emergencies! The officers'’ of the company recogriize the wisdom of a, day of rest. income never exceeded $30,000 a year. It should be remembered, however, that living was not* as expensive when he was up and doing as it is now. In those days $30,000 a year was enough to. enable one to get along without much skimping. . There-are signs that that venerable Institution, the roller-towel, is disappearing from common use. The individual towel, like the individual drinking cup, is taking the place of the older, and less hygienic device. Eugene Field’s anecdote of the ngllertowel in the printing office, which grew so hard with ink and silicates tfiat it gave out a.musical note when hit, will be hereafter a matter not so much of humor as of history. So, after all, It isn’t worry, it isn’t decadent - gastric juice, it isn’t the “gobble and git” counter, it isn’t worn-. out stomach linings that force men so give up mince pie and the midnight lunch. It’s the enemy of his youth and his old age, the appendix. One may guess that henceforth there will be no closed Season for' appendices. The knights of the scalpel will hunt them early and late, for when a man grows too old to contract appendicitis he can always develop a case of “af>pendial gastralgia.” Various societies interested in preventing cruelty to animals are urging merchants •4vho are large owners of work hordes not to sell any animal the price of which at auction would be less than fifty dollars. Within the last ten years horses have riseq enormously in price, and a fifty-dolh®. animal to-day usually means one that? has been worked out arid worn out, and ought to be put painlessly to death rather than It is encouraging to learn that many merchants take this view of the matter, and are following the practice recommended by the societies. One cannot help wishing, however, that homes might be found for some of the old horses, where, in the country, they might pass their last days with only light-work and in comfort. * , An Improvement in general business conditions, both material and moral, is indicated by the advance in wages which is announced by leading eastern railroads. The Pennsylvania has increased the pay rool of its lesser employes to the extent of $7,000,000, and the Philadelphia and Reading to /the' extent of $1j,400,000. Some- 235,000 men benefit by the’ change. The acknowledged increase in the cost bf living provides the chief reason for the advance, and the great expansion of the volume of business, due to widespread prosperity, provides the means. A gratifying feature of the advance jg that it is voluntary. Without con-

troversy or coercion, a handsome tribute has been paid to expediency and justice. -We trust the day is near when a step of this nature will no longer provoke comment by reason of its rarity. Every such example counts, and these examples, as they multiply, will operate with a cumulative force. The example set by the railroads is likely to be followed, on even a bigger scale, by the United States Steel Corporation. An advance at the same rate as that granted by the railroads, 6 per cent, is anticipated. If would mean to the corporation an Increased pay roll of more than $9,000,000. But the ensuing advantages, social and economical, will be worth the money. When young Mr. and Mrs. J. ’ Macy Willets started off on their bridal tour their course lay through Sheffield and New Marlboro to Mepal Manor. As they neared their destination something happened: “About one-quairter of a mile from the manor they were ■ met by all of the employes on that i estate and the estate of Mr. j Howard Willets, Mr. J. Macy • Willets’ father. The employes un- | hitched the horses and drew the carriage and couple to the manor, where , they will remain for two weeks fishing and riding.” Sometimes we get i this sort of thing out of the London i Times, and sometimes out of such fle-J tion as “Lady Gwendolyn’s Lover,” and sometimes out of the lighter part of a Drury Lane melodrama. And when we read carelessly of Sheffield and Marlboro and manor we unconsciously suply a “bold peasantry,their country’s pride,” and assume the country under consideration to be old England, where the lowly are still only too happy to display a sympathetic interest in the affairs of the great. But if we do we are Mepal Manor is not in Yorkshire. It is in Massachusetts. The excerpt is not from the London Times. It is from the New York Herald. The young people mentioned have the run of a twenty-thou-sand-acre preserve owned by their parents. This sounds like Scotland, but it is the Berkshire Hills. The same young people are great favorites with the workers on the “estate” and with other “villagers,” and they gave a reception at the “manor” and distributed “Targess” among the loyal supernumeraries or “retainers” to the tune of a guinea—or, rather, five dollar's —apiece. This sounds like the, midlands or the shires, but, we repeat, it took place in the old Bay State—the State of Concord, ’Lexington and, Bunker Hill. We give the Pharming incident for r/hat it may be worth. If England, as they tell us, is becoming more- like America, America, on the other hand, seems to be growing like England. So goes the see-saw' and thus a general balance ig inaintained. •PT-PT,TN MANNERS AND MORALS. Illustration in Homage of Fair Sex to Black Performers. x A curious scene occurred in Berlin when a troupe of- Black Senegalese, who had been playing for months at a music hall in Unter den Linden, left the city the other day; a New York Sun correspondent says. The blacks had apparently conquered wholesale the hearts of feminine Berlin. At midday, as they prepared to drive to the railway station, a crowd of 1,500 persons, mostly women and young girls, gathered opposite the music hall. Eight policemen tried to keep order, but the women and girls broke through the’ cordon and demanded angrily a last farewell from the blacks. Many of the women were pretty and well dressed, and when the scene was over they departed in taxicabs. The Senegalese, with complacent smiles on. their broad faces, tenderly embraced and kissed their adorers, and to loud cries of “Come back - drove away in droskys. 1 1 The Berlin newspapers comment bit-X terly on what they call a “typical picture of Berlin manners and morals.” They recall the fact that a few months ago the government had to issue an - appeal warning young, girls of good so- ; ciety against carrying on amatory cor- ' respondence with half-educated negroes in the German colonies. The negroes’ huts, said the warning, were hung -with photographs sent to them by foolish young girls, many of them still at school. Spanks.’ Her Husband. Among »the many letters in the New York Herald, this appeared the other day: The writer, though a woman, has no sympathy and little patience with the demand made so loudly and persistently nowadays for woman suffrage. What women' should Insist upon is the right to be the absolute ruler in the home. I have practiced this doctrine during the nine years of my married life, and with most excellent results’. I have four children and I am obeyed and respected by them and enforce discipline by corporal punishment whenever I think it is needed. I also demand obedience in domestic matters' from my husband, and when he is naughty or disobedient I take.tym across my knee just as I do my youngest boy. My husband Is older, larger and stroSger than I am, but submits to my discipline without question, knowing It is for his good. WIFE AND MOTHER. Brooklyn, April 11, 1910.

At first he had disliked the fellow mildly ,on general principles, •but later he hated Selmore cordially, for a specific reason. Alice Clark was' the reason. . > When Selmore first saw Alice Clark arfd fell »a victim, Alice was in Haskin’s car. Though he did not realize it, Haskins ha'd grown.to consider her as belonging to his car quite as much as he did himself. He had glowed with a little proprietor/ pride when he detected the gleam of interest and admiration in Selmore’s eyes, but he was not prepared for what followed. Selmore had stopped by the car and after being introduced, had cheerfully asked for a lift to his destination and got it, occupying the entire time of jtransit in conversing with Alice quite ias though Haskins were a hired chaufifeur. < - > A week later, when Haskins called toffi Alice and found Selmore there, he J&hrned through the conversation that Selmore had accidentally met her in a'candy shop and had promptly asked to call. And he kept on calling. Haskins tried to convince himself that had it been any one else on earth than he should not have cared. It was simply, he told himself, because he disliked Selmore so. Alice certainly had a right to have as mam’ callers as she chose, inasmuch as she was not engaged to himself. It was the first time the idea of being engaged to Alice had presented, itself to him, and he thought about it a great deal after that, mainly because Selinore persisted in interfering so with his established routine. He w r as especially upset one evening when, having made an engagement over the telephone to take Alice automobiling, he called only to find that Selmore had just arrived. Out of politeness he asked Selmore to come along and to his rage Selmore brazenly accepted. Haskins had quite counted on that ride as a pleasant one, for it was a springlike evening. There was to have been a spin over the boulevards, supper at some qulpt placq and then home in. the moonlight —and who could tell wfiat might happen? Now, here w'as Selmore, fastened on him for the whole evening. He tried to malie himself believe that Alice .had looked a trifle disappointed when Selmore acceped, yet he bitterly felt it could not be so, for Selmore was looking especially handsome in his new spring suit. The ride progressed in an electric silence on Haskins’ part .and with fluent conversation on Selmore’s. They had the spin and the supper, which was as ashes in Haskins’ mouth. Then they started home. On a downtown street corner the machine wheezed and stopped. Haskins took malicious delight in making Selmore descend and help him back it off the car tracks.

Then he investigated irritably, for accidents were alien to his car. As he delved amid the machinery Selmore sat jiloft amiably talking to Alice. When at last Haskins had to crawl under the machine and lie flat on his back while he pounded the mechanism he knew how anarchists fee',:.“Here, Haskins,,” Selmore called dbwjj-nnally, “can’t you fix it? I should think you’d know your own car better.’’ t “It’s getting .terribly late,” said Alice. . As Haskins plodded away to a telephone he seethed with hatred of Selmore. After wrestling with the phone and finding he could get no help Haskins phoned his home garage and then went back to the two in the car. “They’re are sending a tow after me,” he said. “You can just catch the last suburban train if you hurry. It will relieve my mind if ybu’ll take it, so that I’ll know Miss Clark will get safely home.” “Splendid Jdea!” agreed Selmore, and leaped o.ut. He reached up a helping hand to the girl in the back seat. Maybe she .had had too much 'of Selmore, maybe she, felt sorry for Haskins; •maybe At any rate she never moved: She regarded Selmore coolly. “I am not going to desert the car and let Mr. Haskins ’wait here all alone till goodness knows -when!” she said distinctly. “You hurry along and catch the train; Mr. Selmore! I shall

Mik ’OSfe/ril J jSKwCSL a VfX // -nil —-t' 5; /r Cjf{ “thank .the fates.” wait and be towed in with Mr. Haskins” ‘ , So Selmore had to go. As Haskins watched him vanish around t'he corner he was conscious that a great joy percolated throughout his system. He climbbd out of the driver’s seat and in beside Alice. “Thank the fateril” be breathed. “Now maybe while we’re waiting I can have a chance to say a few things to you that I’ve to say!” Chicago News. PLANS SCHOOLS FOR SOUTH. Priest Pledges Himself to Rafa-« SIOO,OOO Yearly to Help Negroes. A movement has been started by the Catholic church in the United States for the wholesale conversion of negroes and the Rev. John E. Burke, pastdr of the only Roman Catholic church for negroes in the city—this Church of St. Benedict the Moor, in West 53d street— is in charge' of the work, the New York Evening Telegram says. It is the plan of Father Burke, who has the active support of all the prelates In the country, to raise SIOO,OOO every year in order to establish new schools, mission chapels, substantial churches and a seminary. At present there are only four negro priests in missionary work among their own people and their field is confined to the southern states. The intention of the church authorities is to increase this number to hundreds. Cardinal Gibbons has taken an active interest in the extraordinary cam-

paign and recently he sent a circular I letter to the clergy and laity of the country calling attention to the needs of the negro mission movement and urging all to make a special effort to help it along*. J Father HeeTis o?' the Catholic negro of the country, said: “We want to tear down the old mis-1 sion chapels of the south which are dilapidated and build new ones. We want to build substantial churches where they are needed and establish parochial schools for the education of --e young. The colored people themselves have not the means to do these things. . I “We also want to get more young I men of the race to study for the priesthood and seminaries will be necessary. Our idea is to make this not only a campaign of religion, but one of education as well, for we realize that both go hand in hand, and to make colored people of the south good Catholics we will have to educate them.” Most of the funds to be raised by Father Burke will be used for missionary work in the southern states. — MORE TROUBLE AHEAD. Advent of the Balalaika, in England a Menace to Our Peace. The balalaika impends, a new and most unpleasant rival to the mandolin, the concertina and the banjo. It comes from Jtussia and it has already taken London by storm. Before long, unless Congress comes quickly to the rescue with drastic legislation, the Baltimore Sun asserts, it will invade our fair republic, filling the air ofc freedom ■with its discords and driving all honest music lovers to alcohol and anaesthetics. The balalaika, it should be explained, is a sort of triangular guitar with three strings/ One of thdse strings is tuned to the A of the treble staff, while both of the others are tuned to E. The thing is operated by pluriking the strings with the right hand, the notes being produced bythe thumb of the left-hand up and down the two E strings. The A striflg is seldom touched by the left hand/ Its deep note drones along through thick and thin with brutal and maddening persistency. It is said to be particularly effective when the melody that is being torn out bf the E strings is in the key of A flat. Fashionable London has rtfcen the balalaika to its heart.’ Clubs devoted to its study have been formed in Mayfair; Prince Tehagadaeff of St. Petersburg has come over to explain its mysteries; there are even balalaika orchestras, with prima, secunda, alt, bass and. contrabass balalaikas. Prof. Clifford Essex, for man? years the GraecoRoman and catch-as-catch-can banjo champibn of England, has . abandoned the banjo and now devotes his talents to the newcomer. Life, indeed, more terrible every day. The balalaika, there is good reason to believe, will arrive in our midst simultaneously with the tail of Halley’s comet. Let us prepare to face that double assault with the fortitude of martyrs. Too Lavdsh. Mrs. Dobbs was trying to find out the likes and dislikes of her new boarder, and all she learned increased her satisfaction. . . , “Do you want pie for breakfast?” she asked. “No, thank you,” said the new boarder, with a smile. “Pie for breakfast seems a little too-much.” “That’s just the way I look at*it,” said Mrs. Dobbs, heartily. “I say pie for dinner is a necessity, and pie for supper gives a kind o’ finishing touch to the day; but pie for breakfast is what I call putting on airs.” Under DiUlcultie*.
