Chnrity That is tury is the increase

Worth AVliile. • I
manities. I< or many
year® the world has been dabbling in
spasmodic charities and vainly trying
to soothe its conscience by doing oc
casionally and badly what it should
be doing systematically and well.
There has been a hazy idea that free
excursions in summer and free soup
in winter ought to regenerate any
young victim of an environment of
poverty and start him on a career of
virtue with a feeling of undying grati
tude to his benefactors, lie was ex
pected to keep cool and happy all sum
mer on a plate of ice cream and n piece
of pie, and later in the year he was
stuffed with turkey at Thanksgiving
or at Christmas, receiving from the
strange but joyful luxuries little that
was liiore lasting than a nightmare.
It is all very good so far as it goes,
but it does not go far enough to keep
the youngster from being as hungry
as ever within 24 hours. In the new
philanthropy, says the Philadelphia
Saturday Evening Post, there is some
thing more than an occasional oppor
tunity for free gormandizing. The
fact is recognized that if the boy is to
l>e made a useful citizen he must have
the attention that will not only get
out of him the evils of his unfortunate
life, but will drill into him the ad.
"vantage and stimulus of character and
ambition. A third of a century ago
an American millionaire left a for
tune for a home for poor boys, and the
enterprise was planned on broad and
high lines. The idea was to admit only
promising, healthy youths to whom
the opportunities of life were prac
tically closed by poverty or parental
misfortunes. For teachers' no dried
tip supernumeraries were selected,
but to all the departments active,
wide-awake and enthusiastic scholars
were appointed. The boys were
housed under the best sanitary condi
tions; they were fed on wholesome
food; they were given practical work
in the open air, and they were made
to live sensible lives. To-day the
school has alumni of which any col
lege might well be proud, for in the
list are names-known to the country at
large: lawyers, doctors, editors, suc
cessful business men; and the in
structive fact in their careers is their
high sense of duty and honor. In the
new plans for aid the whole tendency
is in a similar direction. If boys are
to be made into good men the work is
not a matter of days, but of years;
not of a few spasms of beneficence,
but of a steady course of discipline.
The carrier pigeon, when traveling,
rever feeds. If the distance be long
it Hies on without stopping to take
nutriment, and at last arrives thin,
exhausted and almost dying. If corn
be presented to it it refuses to eat,
contenting itself with drinking a little
water and then sleeping. Two or
three hours later it begins to eat with
great moderation and sleeps again im
mediately afterward. Several little
morals of much practical value may
be learned from the habits of this
bird by bipeds of the unfeathered va
riety. Human beings rarely exert
themselves to their limit or practice
wise moderation in case of hunger,
thirst or exhaustion.
Paris has inaugurated a crusade
against the mosquito, but not, a« in the
United States, with oil. The public
fountains are being shut off, those in
the Place de Iu Concorde, at the Lux
embourg, the observatory, the cas
cade at Longchamps and the little
brooks in the Hois. It is the council
of hygiene which has brought this
about, and it is compelled, therefore,
to suffer the displeasure of the public.
But the council says that mosquitoes
are dangerous to the health, and as the
fountains breed the pest the foun
tains must be suppressed.
An advertisement brought back a
lost pup. The finder had taken him
home and made him comfortable.
That was kindness of heart, but if he
had been hardhearted and let the
pup alone he would have found his
way back without a particle of trou
ble, and a family would have been
spared a lot of agitation and some
mourning.
THANKSGIVING.
fHsldent Roosevelt Inues a Procla
mation Naming November J8 aa tha
Day to be Observed,
Washington, Nov. 4.—President
Roosevelt has issued his proclamation
fixing Thursday, November 28, as a
day of national thanksgiving, It fol
lows:
"The season is nigh when according
to the time-hallowed custom of our
people, the president appoints a day
as the especial occasion for praise
and thanksgiving to God.
"This thanksgiving finds the people
still bowed with sorrow for the death
of a great and good president. We
mourn President McKinley because
we so loved and honored him; and
the manner of his death should awak
en in the breasts of our people a keen
anxiety for the country, and at the
same time a resolute purpose not to
be driven by any calamity from the
path of strong, orderly, popular lib
erty which as a nation we have thus
far safely trod.
"Vet in spite of this great disaster,
it is nevertheless true that no people
on earth have such abundant cause
for thanksgiving as we have. The
past year in particular has been one
of peace and plenty. We have pros
pered in things material and have
been able to work for our own uplift
ing in things intellectual and spir
itual. Let us remember that, as much
has been given us, much will be ex
pected from us; and that true hom
age comes from the heart as well as
from the lips and shows itself in
deeds. We can best prove our thank
fulness to the Almighty by the way
in which on this earth and at this
time each of us docs his duty to his
fellow men.
"Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roose
velt, president of the United States,
do hereby designate as a day of gen
eral Thanksgiving, the 28th of this
present November, and do recom
mend that throughout the land the
people cease from their wonted occu
pations, and at their several homes
and places of worship reverently
thank the (liver of All Good for the
countless blessings of our national
life.
"In witness whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
"Done at the city of Washington
this second day of November, in the
year of our Lord, 1001, and of the in
dependence of the United States tha

A RUNAWAY BALLOON.
It Came Menr Drifting Out to Sea, To
gether with Nine PaMkenicern.
San Francisco, Nov. 4.—The nine
occupants of the car of the captive
balloon which escaped from this city
Saturday afternoon returned to San
Francisco, having been rescued after
being in the balloon two hours. The
•balloon landed near Pescadero, .10
miles from this city and but a short
distance from the ocean. The bal
loon was at one time setting out to
sea, but was blown back to land.
When the balloon broke its bonds it
sailed a'way in a southerly direction.
South of Redwood City it struck an
other air current which took it to
ward the ocean, toiward the summit
of the coast range.
Nineteen miles from La Honda and
about six miles from Peseadoro, lies
Beatty Thompson's place. Thompson
was up and out when the balloon
came along by Wurr's mill, and the
grappling 'hook slipped through the
trees and raked along brushy patches
of ground. By this time much of
the gas had been let out of the bai
loon and the power was weak. The
rope that held snapped and the cap
tive became a runaway and was
sweeping away over the ground.
When it came within Thompson's
reach he grasped it and bore down
with all his weight. This stopped
the flight. Soon the balloon was
brought to the ground and the eight
passengers and the aeronaut alighted.
A DESPERATE FIGHT.
Further Detail* of the Reeent Battle
Between the Boers and Kngllali.
Pretoria, Nov. 4.—Further details
have been received regarding the at
tack by the Boers under Gen. Louis
Botha last week upon Col. Benson's
column near Brokenlaagate, eastern
Transvaal. It appears that Botha,
who had been joined toy another big
commando aggregating 1,000 men. at
tacked Col. Benson's rear guard Octo
ber 30 on the march anil captured
two guns, but was unable to retain
them. Col. Benson fell mortally
wounded early in the fight.
Maj. Wools-Sampson took com
mand, collected the convoy and took
up a position for defense about 500
yards fron entrenchments prepared
by the Boers. The captured guns
were so situated that neither side
could touch them.
The Boers made desperate efforts
to overwhelm the whole British force,
charging repeatedly right up to the
British lines and being driven back
each time with heavy loss. The de
fense was stubbornly and success
fully maintained through the whole
of the following day and the succeed
ing night, until Col. Barter, who had
marched all night from Bushman's
Kop, brought relief in the morning
of November 1. The Boers then re
tired. Their losses are estimated as
between 300 and 400.

last night, together with the ware
house and dock property of the road.
The loss will reach $125,000, fully in
sured. The flour was the property
of the Washburn-Crosby Milling Co.
of Minneapolis. The warehouse and
dock, built a few years ago, cost $45,-

the heat and were rescued with diffi

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1901.
HAS GONE TO THE JURY.
Argumenta In the Schley t'aae Have
ICndetl and the I'll bile Keaalona ol
the Court of Inquiry are Cloaed.
Washington, Xov. 5. —The Schley
court of inquiry reached the argu
ment stage at the beginning of the
afternoon session Monday. The
morning sitting was devoted to listen
ing to Admiral Schley and Capt. Sigs
bee, in making corrections of their
testimony, which had been given pre
viously and the introduction by Judge
Advocate Lemly of numerous docu
ments bearing upon different phases
of the inquiry.
The opening speech of the argu
ment in the case was made in behalf
of the government by E. P. II a una, as
sistant to the judge advocate. He
began his presentation of the case a
few minutes after the court convened
at 2 o'clock, and when the court ad
journed, two hours later, lie had not
covered more than half of the ground
involved in the controversy.
Washington, Nov. o.—The time of
the Schley court of inquiry was devot
ed yesterday to hearing arguments.
Mr. Ilanna finished his argument in
behalf of the department and Capt.
James Parker began but did not con
clude bis presentation of the case
for Admiral Schley. Mr. Ilanna con
tinued as to the retrogade movement,
the bombardment of the Colon and
the charge made against Admiral
Schley of disobedience of orders.
( apt. Parker had only reached the
coaling question when the court ad
journed, He defended the conduct of
his client at all stages of the cam
paign so far as he went.
Washington, Nov. 7.—The climax of
the Schley court of inquiry came Wed
nesday afternoon when Mr. Uaynor,
the chief counsel for Admiral Schley,
concluded a brilliant argument of
over three hours with a peroration so
eloquent and impassioned that all
within the sound of his voice were
profoundly touched. This remark
able trial, he said, sought to condemn
the man who had brought to a suc
cessful termination as great a naval
triumph as was ever won.
In vivid colors he painted the pic
ture of the I 'rook ly n with Commodore
Schley on the bridge fighting the en
tire Spanish fleet until the Oregon
appeared out of the smoke. The
thunders of the Brooklyn, music for
the ears of his countrymen, he said,
aroused Admiral Schley's envious
foes. 'lie pictured the victorious
sailor suffering as few have suffered
for three long years, while the fires
of persecution leaped around him,
ar.d now awaiting the hour of his
vindication in the verdict of the
court.
"And when it comes," he concluded,
"he can, from the high and exalted
position that he occupies, look down
upon his traducers and maligners and
with excellent pride exclaim: 'I
care not. for the venomous gossip of
clubs, drawing rooms anil cliques and
the poisoned shafts of envy and of
malice. I await under the guidance
of divine Providence the verdict of
posterity.' "
The scene in the court room as he
finished with these words was thrill
ing. The attendance had been large
all day and at the morning session a
lady had fainted from excitement.
As Mr. Uaynor began his eulogy of
Admiral Schley those in the audience,
many of whom were ladies, leaned
forward in their seats. The spell of
his oratory was over them and when
he described the admiral's gallant
deeds and the long persecution to
which he had been subjected, many
of them broke down and wept.
The members of the court, dis
played evidences of emotion and Ad
miral Schley himself was plainly
moved. He sat, leaning back, with
his hands behind his head. His chin
twitched and as his counsel said he
could afford to await the verdict of
posterity, two big tears rolled down
his cheeks. He moved uneasily to
conceal his emotion and under the
pretense of adjusting his glasses,
brushed the tears aside. For full 30
seconds after Mr. Kay nor closed there
was not a sound. Then the tension
broke in a loud burst of applause.
Admiral Dewey after about a half
minute arose to remind the specta
tors that, such demonstrations were
out of place. A moment afterward
the court adjourned.
Washington, Xov. B.—After sittings
covering 40 days and with a record
which when completed will cover
about 2,000 pages, the Schley court of
inquiry on Thursday adjourned
its last public session. To Capt. Lem
ly, the judge advocate, had been as
signed the duty of making the clos
ing argument in the case.
Capt. Lemly's address in the main
was an analysis of the testimony, but
occasionally a conclusion was drawn
and frequently there was criticism of
the course pursued by Schley. Speak
ing of Commodore Schley's conduct
Capt. Lemly said: "From my knowl
edge of the man, I have never be
lieved, nor do I claim from the evi
dence, that 'personal misconduct—or
to call a spade a spade, cowardice—
was exhibited by Commodore Schley
in any part of his career as com
mander-in-chief of the flying squad
ron. Hut I submit that in the pas
sage from Key West to Cienfuegos.
while at the latter port, en route to
the southward of Santiago without
settled destination in the retrogade
movement, in the return to the vicin
ity of Santiago and in the affair of
May 31 the commodore exhibited un
steadiness in purpose and in push and
failure to obey orders."

"FOUNDERS' DAY."
If Tvns Obirrvfd ai ( arnrjlp Institute,
In Plttabiiru ICx-I'rtaltlcnt <leve
la nd's Addrria.
Pittsburg 1 , Xov. 8. —The exercises
celebrating Founders' day at the Car
negie Institute, which have come to
be recognized as an annual event of
great interest not only to the people
of Plttsburjf but to those of other
cities, were held in Music hall Thurs
day afternoon. Long- before the hour
set for commencing' the exercises the
capacity of the hall was strained
and the doors had to be closed, barr
ing out at least 2,000 disappointed
people. The presence of ex-Presi
dent (■ rover Cleveland as orator of the
day and of Mrs. Cleveland as honor
truest, served to augment the desire
of the people to participate in the
exercises.
Mr. Cleveland spoke of"The Obliga
tions of National Co-partnership,"
saying in part:
"The most serious evil that disturbs
co-operation among our people is
found in quarrels between employers
and employes. There should be no
antagonism in this country between
labor and capital. On the contrary,
they should be in close alliance and
friendship.
"Xo American citizen was ever yet
doomed by birth to a life of labor or
poverty, and fortunes are the prod
ucts of industry and intelligent en
deavor. Labor and capital touch and
mingle so constantly among us that
the laborer of to-day is frequently
the employer of labor to-morrow.
"1 disclaim any intention to sug
gest what may be the cause of the
dislocation which frequently occurs in
the relationship of labor to capital.
Whether it results from unreasonable
demands on the part of labor, ot>
whether our workmen listen too
credulously to malign counsels, or
whether the trouble arises from the
greed and avarice of capital and of
its immense aggregations, I do not
pretend to say. Perhaps all these
have a share in creating the difficulty.
"Somewhere there are members of
our .partnership in American citizen
ship who act in violation of partner
ship duty; and the only remedy for
this situation must be found ill a re
turn to the observances of the law,
or American co-operation. Such an
example is seen in the establishment
and expansion of the Carnegie In
stitute."
Secretary Church read his annual
report, which showed a remarkable
degree of success for the institute
during the year. Several addresses
followed the report—that of the vet
eran actor Joseph Jefferson appear
ing to give particular pleasure. The
award of prizes by the Carnegie inter
national art jury followed.
BEEF SUPPLY IS FAILING.
Cattlemen Claim that the I'aaturea In

Chicago, Xov. 8. —According to in
formation received at the headquar
ters of the National Live Stock asso
ciation in this city, congress will have
the western public land situation
brought to its attention this winter
in a new and startling manner.
Prominent cattlemen are prepared to
show that during the past five years
there has been an enormous decrease
in Ihe number of cattle in this coun
try, which seriously threatens the
beef food supply. The cause of this
is said to be the contraction of the
western public grazing lands and the
increase in the consumptive demand.
The rapid settlement of the west
has caused the ranges left to become
crowded; this crowded condition has
prevented the re-seeding of grasses,
and consequently millions of acres
of once good pasture have been
turned into absolute deserts. The
stockmen claim that the unfavorable
methods of administering the public
lands of the west are back of the
threatened snortage. It Is now pro
posed to have congress take charge
of the whole matter through a coin
mission and, after investigation, take
such action as will tend to stop the
waste and destruction now going on
and encourage the establishment of
small stock farms. The plan will
also recommend government aid in
building storage reservoirs on the
ranges near the head waters of
streams.
THE HORRORS OF THE CONGO.
An American Telia of the Slaughter of
Hundred a ol' Nativea by Itubber
■III ii tera.
London, Nov. 8. —Edgar Caniiius,
an American who recently retired
from the employ of the Congo Free
Slijte, confirms the terrible stories
told about the condition of the na
tives. Canisius, who accompanied
Maj. Lothaire, commander of the
Belgian troops in the Congo, on bis
expedition after rubber, says 900 na
tives were killed in six weeks during
that expedition, while a smaller ex
pedition, commanded by a Belgian
lieutenant, killed 300 natives in three
weeks. Such barbarities are com
mitted that the natives are absolutely
terror-stricken.
Canisius declares that the so-called
punitive expeditions are in reality
rubber-squeezing raids, conducted
with such iniquitous methods that
the natives are in a constant state of
revolt. The natives are practically
forced to work rubber at the muzzles
of rifles, receiving two cents per
pound for what is sold for 75 cents
at Antwerp. Thousands of nativea
have fled to the bush and live like
wild animals. Along the jungle paths
the bodies of those who have died of
starvation are frequent sights.
A Murder illyaterv In Jolved.
Chicago, Xov. 8. —With the discov
ery yesterday of a blood-bespattered
room at 102 North Union avenue and
the arrest of its late occupant, Felipo
Rini, an Italian fruit peddler, the
mystery surrounding the death of
Antonio Xatali, whose body was
found hidden in a barrel on the prai
rie, is believed to have been cleared
nil. That Natali was lured into the
room and murdered for his money
by several men seems certain. In
the pocket of RinF was found S3OO,
some of the bills being covered with
blood stains. Four other men are
under arrest.

Not long ago the wife of a western Kan
sis politician asked him to lay aside politic®
long enough one day to dig the potatoes in
the garden. He agreed to do it. After
digging for a few minutes he went into the*
house and said he had found a coin. He
washed it off and it proved to be a silver
quarter, lie put it in his jeans and went
back to work. Presently he went to the
house again and said he had found another
coin. He washed the dirt off it. It was a.
silver half dollar. He put it in his jeans.
"I have worked pretty hard," said he tr>
his wife. "I guess I'll take a short nap."
When he awoke he found that his wife
had dug all the rest of the potatoes. But
siie found no coins. It then dawned upon
her that she had been "worked." —Kansas.

"The abbreviation fiend is a nuisance
and ought to be suppressed by law," said
a man in the otlice of the board of public
improvements, "but the limit was reached
the other day when a letter came in here
addressed: 'Mr. So-and-So, Board of Pub
lic Imps.' "
"Maybe that was neither a joke nor the
result of carelessness," returned one of his
associates. "Perhaps the man meant it*
'on the level.' " —N. Y. Times.
