"Unto the third and fourth genera tions," upon the happfness of little , ... children, is the The Price Mark curse of American on Everything fQp do „ arßt rightly says Harper's linzar. Jt was an American small boy, sick with ty phoid fever, who. observing that he had one trained nurse on duty at night and another on duty days, that the doctor made two or three visits daily, and that at each visit something new was ordered to be got. said to his mother—his pitifully feeble voice bur dened with anxietv: "Mamma, dear, 1 am afraid this sickness is very ex pensive. It is too bad ] did not take some cheaper disease.'" Another small American boy had been having a birth day party. It was a splendid affair— beyond his parents' means, as be comes the American notion of being pood parents. There were candles on t-he cake, lots of candy, ice cream "to burn," as the boy himself ex pressed it.and loads of presents be sides. The small guests departed, the host was taking a last lingering look at the party (the cake) before going to bed. "Was it a nice party, son?" his mother asked, lie drew a breath eloquent with satisfaction, and raised his eyes to answer. Instantly his ex pression changed. Perhaps it was the tired look he saw in his mother's face. At all events, his joy was gone. llis answer was: "An awful nice party, mamma. Did it cost much money?" His query laughingly dismissed, he went upstairs. In a moment he was back, bringing a big silver dollar in each hand—two out of five his grand mother had sent him for his birth day. "Here," he said, extending one piece of silver to his father and one to his mother, "please take this and pay for the party." So does every thing in life in the United States flaunt its price mark in our faces. Even the pains and pleasures of child hood yield to a sense of the, money value of things. How to live so close to nature —to what is true, beautiful and good —that money does not inter vene—that is a problem which the heart and soul of American women need to solve fur the real enrichment of our people. "After having supplied a moonshiner in a South Carolina jail with a month's supply of smoking tobacco," said a gov ernment surveyor to a writer in the Washington Post, "I presumed upon the deed to ask: 'Didn't you know it was against the law to manufacture moonshine whisky?' 'I heard that was a law once,' he replied. 'What do you mean by "once?" ' 'Why. Juba French told me thar was sich a law, but when I asked Jim Truman about it he says that Juba is sich a liar that nobody kin believe him under oath, and so I reckoned I was safe togo ahead. Shoo, but I wonder how Juba come to tell the truth fur that one tinsel'" Mrs. W. Boyd Steele, of Stephen City, Va„ had been missing flour and other things from her pantry. Her husband, who is an amateur photographer, so arranged a camera that if anyone dis turbed the flour the photographic plat e would be exposed and a snapshot of the thief taken. The Steele family then went calling and on their return found a very good picture of a neighbor in the act of stealing flour. The claim is made for South Da kota that it has for the third con secutive year produced more wealth per capita than any other state Ln the union, the total for this year be ing $106,500,000. Of this sum $27,000,- 000 comes from live stock, $15,000,- 000 from corn, $15,000,000 from wheat and $12,000,000 from minerals.

I nele Sam In < a»e He Heroine! ■ nvoltcd In War. Havana, Jan. 3.—The Cuban con stitutional convention is considering two promulgations of the future re lations between Cuba and the United States. One of these attirms, in the tirst place, an acceptance of the Mon roe doctrine and the establishment of friendly relations with all nations, together with a resolution to proceed in all cases in complete accord with the I'nited States. In the second place, it proposes to put at the disposal of the United States a portion of the shore of any bay on the north coast and two bays on the south coast for naval stations, together with concessions sufficient in extent for the purposes of defense and sanitation. In the third place, it declares that Cuba will place herself on a war footing to help the United States in Case such assistance should be need ed; while a fourth proviso is an am plification of the first, second and 1 bird. The other promulgation contem plates: First- —That the convention is vest ed with authority only to convene. Second —Not having been granted legislative functions, the convention cannot arrange the liasis of future relations. Third Nevertheless, should Wash ington desire such a discussion, the convention is willing to discuss and agree upon an arrangement of mu tual relat ions. The former promulgation embodies the desires of delegates friendly to the United States. The latter is a counter check to the extremists. It |is considered that tlie former is like ly to carry.

Miners coming to the coast front Dawson report that wolves are lie coming very troublesome on the Dawson trail. Much anxiety is felt I for the safety of Murray McDonald, who left Dawson June 23, carrying | treasure for Vancouver parties. Business in Dawson is less active than ever this winter, owing to the fact that claims are all worked in the summer, winter work being unprofit able. Vancouver, Jan. 3.—The steamer Victorian has arrived from Skagway with 40 passengers, and mails from Dawson. They left as late as Decem ber 1(», making quick time over the ice. A. F. Lauder, of Seattle, was the latest passenger and be came out on a bicycle. Mrs. Ballinger, wife ol Dr. Ballinger. who left Dawson on December <>. for Skagway and com pletely disappeared, also came out by the Victorian. She beard nothing of her husband, who it is feared met with foul play, and she is now on hei way to seek relatives in Seattle. She will immediately return to prosecute the search. A CAR AND ENGINE FAMINE. Kallroadn Cannot <«et ICnoiiirli Uolling Stock lor I'reHciit \<-cdn. New York, Jan. 3.—The Commercia Advertiser says: The locomotive works, as well as the car shops ill this country are overwhelmed with orders. President Callaway, of the New York Central railroad, says he is having difficulty in arranging for delivery of new locomotives, urgently needed on the Central system, before next fall. As many as possible of the 100 new locomotives authorized by the board of directors are to be made in the New York Central shops Kailroad men generally are com plaining of the scarcity of freight cars and the lack of motive power. Although tens of thousands of new cars and hundreds of new locomo tives have been built within the past two years, the abnormal growth ol railroad tratlie has surpassed ever the steady increase in equipment. Western lines are constantly calling on their eastern connections for more cars with which to move freight eastward, but the eastern lines are not able to comply with more than half of these requests. HEIRS TO MILLIONS. Widow ola Capitalifcl Adopt*, u >a»b ville Couple. Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 3. —The will of the late Samuel M. Murphy was probated yesterday. It bequeathed #">0.000 each to his nieces, Mrs. Nora Kilrut.li and Mrs. Nancy Gardner, the residue to his wife. A provision was that if he survived her the property should be divided between Mr. and Airs. T. J. Kelder. son-in-law and daughter of President Smith, of the Louisville & Nashville railroad. The estate is estimated to be worth from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000. After the probation of the will the widow, Anne 11. Murphy, appeared in the circuit court and made applica tion for permission to adopt Mr. and Mrs. Felder. The judge granted the petition and Mr. and Mrs. Felder thereby became entitled to all the rights and privileges of natural born children. This action was taken in deference to the wish of Mr. Murphy, expressed before his death. IlrceiptM Exceed Expenses.

ENDORSED BY A CAUCUS. Mr. Ctuiif la Niimlnatrd Cor I tilted Main Sfliulor- Ills I'rlfiida Orgun- Ur the I'eims) Ivauia Lri(UlHliirr. Harrisburg, I'a., Jan. 2.—C01. M. S. Quay was the unanimous choice of the joint convention of republican senators and members held last night in the house chamber to nominate a candidate for I'nited States senator. The caucus was attended by 12it legis lators, or four less than the number necessary to a choice in the joint convention of the senate and house, which will be held .January 15. Three of those present were Messrs. Hill and Tiffany, of Susquehanna county, and Mcl'herson, of Adams, who ab sented themselves Monday night from the house caucus anil voted with the democrats in the house yesterday for Gen. Koontz for speaker. Mr. Heaver, of .luniata, who voted with the stalwarts for Mr. Marshall, for speaker, was present, lint did not an swer to his name. It was stated that he will abide by the caucus. Thomp son. of Centre, and Haldeman, of Montgomery, who are detained at home by illness, were pledged by their colleagues to Mr. Quay. This apparently gives Mr. Quay 126 of the 127 necessary to a choice. The other absentees voted with the democrats on the organization of the house and are classed as anti-Quay republicans. Speeches were made nominating Mr. Quay. Congressman Dalzell and .lodge John (i. Stewart. On the balloting Mr. Quay received the votes of 20 senators and !»:'■ mem bers of the house. Before the res ill', was announced the names of Messrs. Dalzell and Stewart were withdrawn and the nomination of Mr. Quay w:>s made unanimous and he was thus given a total of 123 votes. With one present and not voting and two ab sent on account of illness, all three of whom it is claimed will abide by the caucus decision, a vote of 126 for Quay on joint ballot is indicated. As the names of certain men who ha.! been counted in the anti-Quay col umn were called and they announced their vote for Mr. Quay there were demonstrations of great approval on the part of the great crowd present. While the caucus was in session in the house chamber a secret meeting of the anti-Quay republicans was held at their headquarters at the Commonwealth hotel. At the close of the meeting the pledge of the anti- Qnayites binding themselves to gether to oppose Mr. Quay's re-elec tion was made public. The pledge contains OH names. A call was issued last night for a caucus of the house and senate dem ocrats on the evening of January II for the nomination of a candidate for I'nited States senator. The first ballot taken Tuesday in the contest for control of the organ ization of the house of representa tives between the stalwart republic ans and the fnsionists resulted in 100 votes for Marshall, 1M» for Koontz. for speaker. Four democrats voted for William T. Marshall, the stalwart re publican candidate. Senator Snyder, of Chester county, was the choice of the Quay faction for president pro tem of the senate, and was elected by a vote of 36 to 13 for X idler, democrat, of Cumber land. CAUGHT WHILE ASLEEP. A ItiiiM-Ii of Itctectlves Arrest • Brotlicr ol I'ui (roue, the Allefnl Kid n upper, Omaha, Neb.. Jan. 2. —The first ar rest in the Cudahy kidnapping case has been made. J. J. Crowe, brother of l'at Crowe, whom the police be lieve to be a principal in the abduc tion. was taken into custody in Coun cil Bluffs Tuesday afternoon by five Omaha detectives. Karly in the afternoon a posse of detectives with search warrants and complaints charging abduction ran sacked the premises adjacent to.l. J. Crowe's saloon in the hope of discov ering l'at Crowe in his place of con cealment. ' They had the necessary papers for the arrest of both Pat and his brother. Early in the day the police department had been given informa tion that either Pat Crowe was mak ing his hiding place in his brother's saloon, or the brother knew more than he would divulge about the kid napping and the letter that has been recently written to Mr. Cudahy threatening the death of his son if the reward for the arrest of the kid nappers were not withdrawn. A dil igent search disclosed no trace of l'at Crowe, but the officers came upon the brother asleep in a rear room. When the detectives awakened Crowe he rubbed his eyes as if he were tlazed. "What do you want?" he demanded. "We're looking for you and l'at. We want Pat most, but if we can't find him, we want to ask you a few questions." "I'll do anything 1 can for you. gentlemen." he said, "but I'll tell you riffht now, 1 can't do or tell much." Edward A. Cudahy, jr., failed to identify J. J. Crowe as one of the men who kidnapped him. Young Cudahy appeared at the city jail and confronted Crowe. After looking at the suspect five minutes or more, Cudahy remarked: "I never saw that man before. He is not the one who stood guard over me, and if he had anything at all to do with the kidnapping, I did not see him." Crowe was released from custody. Divided (lie Olllces. Dover, Del., Jan. 2.—The Delaware legislature organized yesterday after the Addicks and anti-Addieks re publicans held a conference over a di vision of the offices of the senate and house. Both factions jointly control 20 of the 52 members of the assem bly and they decided to divide the places. The anti-Addieks members chose Henry A. KlUson for president of the senate. The Addicks faction then chose Charles V. McCommons for speaker of the house. The other appointments were then made, eacb taction choosing alternately. A NEW GOVERNOR. New York and Michigan Each Has One. Benjamin 11. Ode 11, Jr., la lining urn ted us 4'lalef Kxei lilhe of tile Kmplre State and Aron 'l'. Bliss Suc ceeds Jllr. Pingree In Of fice at Lansing. Albany. X. V., Jan. 2. Benjamin B. Odell. jr.. was on Tuesday inaugur ated governor of New York. The in auguration of Gov. Odell was one of the most elaborate ever held. There was a greater outpouring of people and a grander military display than have attended a ceremony of this character for many years. Over 1,- 300 national guardsmen were in line in the escort column. The ceremonies connected with the inauguration were of the most im posing character. Gov. Koosevelt, the retiring governor, shared with Gov. Odell to a great extent the dem onstration of welcome in the assem bly chamber. The escort column reached the executive mansion at 10:45. At the executive mansion Gov. Odell awaited the coming of Adjt. (ien. Hoffman and the other members of his military staff who had assem bled at the department of the adju tant general and proceeded to the ex ecutive mansion. Gov. Odell then delivered his inaug ural address, as follows: "With the assumption of responsi bilities comes doubt and uncertainty which even the applause and good wishes of our friends cannot entirely dissipate. Especially is this true of liiin into whose keeping is placed the administration of the affairs of our commonwealth. New York, an em pire in itself, with its' vast popula tion, its many and diverse interests, demands from its chief executive the greatest conservatism, wisdom as to its needs and that its business affairs shall be transacted with economy and good judgment. I'nder our form of government when the will of the ma jority has been expressed, we should forget our partisanship in our desire to strengthen the hands of those whom for the time being we have clothed with authority and upon whom the responsibility for the proper enforcement of our laws is placed. The success of our state ad ministration depends as much upon its component parts as upon the ag gregate. and it is a right which the executive can demand and every loyal citizen should accord that in every municipality, in every township arid hamlet ihe same economical eon ditions shall prevail as are expected in the administration of our state affairs. "The burdens of taxation should be so adjusted as to fall lightly upon those who can ill afford to bear them, and be borne more generously by those who have received from tin state protection anil rights that have riven to their vast business interests the success they deserve. Combina tion in restraint of individual rights should be curbed and a welcome ex tended to all whose energy and gen ius will add t'o the fame of the Em pire State, and aid us in upholding our business and commercial suprem acy. The care of our wards should be as generous as their necessities may require, never extravagant and never niggardly. To the governor is intrusted the execution and to the legislature the law-making power of the commonwealth. The duties are separate and distinct, and can never be combined without serious impair ment in the efficiency of both. It shall be my object, therefore, to keep strictly within the letter and spirit of the law and to give effect to such acts of the legislature as may seem to me to be in the direction of public good. withholding approval only when such measures fall below this standard. "In thus aiding in the consumma tion of all worthy projects I shall be guided solely by the desire to give to the mandates of our constitution their full effect and to the wishes of our people their full purport. If in the performance of these duties 1 shall in a measure be as successful as have so many of my predecessors; if upon the threshold of a new cen tury with all of its possibilities the positive and affirmative action of the incoming administration ean aid in solving these great questions which interest us. I shall feel as much pride in the contemplation of such results as you do sir, as you look back upon the success which has attended your ad mi nistra t ion." Lansing, Mich., Jan. 2.—At noon Tuesday Aaron T. Bliss, of Saginaw, was inaugurated governor of Michi gan on the front steps of the state 'apitol building. The governor ar rived from his home in Saginaw on a special train shortly before o'clock. He was escorted by two companies of the national guard and the Saginaw division of the Michigan naval reserves. Gov. Bliss and his staff. escorted by the military, marched to the Capitol building, which was surrounded by an enthus iastic crowd. Here they were met by ex-Gov. l'ingree and the retiring of ficials. After exchanging greetings in the executive parlor all the officials proceeded to the Capitol steps, where the oath of otHee was adminis tered to the new governor and the new state officials by Chief Justice Montgomery, of the supreme court. .Tlc.Tllllaii'* Ke-clectioii Assured. Lansing, Mich., Jan. 2. —Senator McMillan, of Detroit, was yesterday nominated by the joint republican caucus of the Forty-first legislature, which will convene to-day in the state Capitol, to succeed himself. Senator McMillan's re-election to his third term in the senate is assured, as the legislature is overwhelmingly republican. The senator appeared at the caucus after he had been notified of his nomination and in a brief speech thanked the legislators for the honor. Last evening he tendered thein a reception.
