Maybe, In splto of yellow Journalism, tho jrretit inynlery of Roosevelt's visit to McKlnley in actually explained by Roosevelt's explanation. Testimony In tho High School In vestigation. Wo hnvo rend catefully tho eighty pages of typewritten testimony cover ing the lecent Investigation of the mannRemcnt of th High schoot and It conveys nr worse Impression than that nmonrr the teacheis examined there has been some difference of opinion as to whether the general discipline of the school ha been mifllelontly rigid. The chief bono of contention seems to have been the "moral atmosphere" of tho hoys' locker room before sessions and nt Intermissions. One teacher onco heard an oath uttered In that loom, hut did not know 1y whom. A fire cracker was once exploded. The boys nomotlmos were boisterous and occa sionally started to wrestle. These are the prove charges. Anions? tho other charpos arc that Trofcssor Phillips has done clerical work that Is, kept his own records in stead of turning that work over to a subordinate that he has not Insti tuted periodical drills of teachers; that each teacher has been allowed to use considerable discretion In methods, be lns held accountable chiefly for results; and that the principal 1ms tried rather to put tho pupils on their good be havior by nppeallnK to their honor and pride as younc ladles and gentlemen Instead of ruling them with a rod of iron. It is not charged that the in struction has been poor or that tho at tentive and enterprising pupil oould not cet along well; It is not claimed that the main results are inferior. The exact opposite is shown and. known to all who have looked into the matter. But the magnifying gloss has been turned on little things, apparently In tho desire to mnkc them look big. To consider the dismissal of a high school principal on tho meager and potty grounds here brought forth is to exhibit an utter unfitness for tho otrtco of school controller. Let this cplsodo end. Secretary Alger's absence from tho JIcKlnley-Roosevelt conference Isnotcd hut It Is not surprising. That confer ence was one between men. nnmlneo that they nro threatening to nomlrmto ex-Congressman llreckln rldgc as an Independent. Hrccklnridjre poKlng aa a moral reformer would cer tainly look picturesque. - - .. It was, of course, somewhat unfor tunate that Just while the president of the Mormon church was wilemnly at llrmlng that tho Mormons had all quit practicing polygnmy one of his own ostensibly discarded "ox"-wlves should have been ho unthotightful as to pro sent to him n daughter but tho inci dent illumines the subject of Mormon Urn's sincerity. Tho Home for tho Friendless. The desperate crisis Just made pub lic concerning the affairs of the Homo of the Friendless has shocked tho community beyond measure and touch ing as it does the popular heart, It would seem tint with the wealth and influence to be commanded in this city the institution which for twenty seven years has perhaps done more work in the way of preventing crime and nllenlatlng suffering than half tho churches, should bo relieved from the heavy burden under which it is strug gling. The conditions are tho result of no reckless extravagance and no pos sible fault of the management, but rather of a combination of circum stances in which the llnanclal depres sion of three years ago and a succeed ing chain of 111 fortune has been promi nent factors. Among the discourage ments may be mentioned the fact that in the past three wills have been left by deceased ft lends in whicli money has been bequeathed to the Home, but In each cas-e technical points of law have rendered futile tho Intention of tho dead toward the noble charity In mind. It will be remembered that tho plot of ground now occupied by the insti tution was donated to the home by tho Pennsylvania Coal company, through the kindness of the late John 13. Smith. Tho crowded state of tho old building made some change imperative, and as n now structure had to bo erected, it was deemed best by nil concerned to give the llttlo children and the feeble old women the benefit of tho fine air and tho beautiful location of the Dun more property. A sale of the old place, which it was thought would immedi ately bo arranged, was not concluded and it was found necessary to secure a loan. A mortgage of $15,000 wai vlaced on tho old home and later an other of $20,000 on the new building; J2.O00 of the entire sum Is all that has been paid, and the management has now for two years been endeavoring to keep up tho Interest on $33,000. In tho meantime a vast Increase of ox penso Is recorded, and the cfiort to pro vide for the larger family and also to carry the butden of tho moitgage has reached a point where it Is folly to continue tho struggle. With relief from tho drain of the Interest payments, the institution could bo comfortably sup posed from tho annual membeishlp fees and the many gifts from genrr ous friends, tou'ether with the enter tainments which from time to time bring In considerable sums. "While the suggestion that those who annually patronize the Homo excur sion might send tho money thus usual ly expended to htdp tide over the stiess of the summar, is orio which should be acted upon, it is still nocoibary to do something more and it la now time that the cncumbiances on the Homo for tho Friendless are cleared up onco and for all. Let the pcoplo who Intend leaving handsome bequests to tho in etltutlon jwy It in now while they nto alive, to seo tho blessing they confer and 'roup the full reward of their gcu eroslty. Let those who havo been, blessed In worldly good3 glvo of their hubstanco now, when It Is needed, for tho benefit of ono of the real charities of earth, whero they know their money is 'being well employed. Let friends of tho Homo all over tho city bestir thom selvos and eo what can be dono to prevent abandoning a work that is no. whero more needed than in this com munity. m A faction among Kentucky Domo rats are eo mad at their regular party Railroads and Canals. One of the things which impressed ex-Governor Uookwnltcr, of Ohio, on the occasion of his recent Journey through Hussln and Siberia, and a Sub ject upon which ho comments freely In his very Interesting volume, "Siberia and Central Asia," is the liberality with which tho Russian government haw protected navigable waterways and conpti tided canals so ns to utilize to tho utteimost tho nattiial opportunities for water transportation. "Every where," he says, "one sees tho river beds deepened by dredging, tho chan nel widened, the banks carefully walled, and tho shore suitably jettlcd, and every nicsins employed to render them suitable for navigation. So thoroughly Is this done that llttlo hits of streams only a few rods wide are by suitable Hash dams and other means conveited into excellent channels for boats." He shows how In consequence of this pol icy It Is possible for boats to go through the center of Franco into tho Mediter ranean sea and through the middle of European Itussin from the Haltic to tho Caspian sen and he continues: "It Is with sorrow mingled with dis gust that ono jecnlls tho shameless neglect of our mighty river systems, the grandest on the globe the Mississ ippi, the Ohio, the Missouri and scores of other livers with their tributaries and oven the complete abandonment of tho Wabash, the Illinois and many others that In early days were so valu able and serviceable. With tho noblest river on tho globe permeating with its many tributaries almost the entire re gion from whence our exportable agri cultural surplus has been derived, and which could be carried entirely by water to the consumptive centers of Europe, we today discover the as tounding situation that our country Is almost exclusively dependent upon the railways to carry this great surplus to the seaboard. Were our main rivers only, to say nothing of tho smaller streams that other countries would readily render serviceable, Improved and utilized to anything like the de gree of the Seine, Rhone, Garonne and Marno of France; the Elbe, Rhino and other streamsof Germany; the Danube, the Don, the A'olga and for that matter even tho Obi of Siberia, no nation on tho globe would possess such facilities for cheap transportation to foreign countries so that no matter what nat ural advantages of agriculture they might possess in Siberia, Argentina, India or elsewhere, we should 'be placed beyond competition In foreign mar kets." There Is, of course, another side to this proposition. The building up of rail in place of water transportation has carried civilization and its advant ages to thousands of localities which would never have been reached under a system of transportation 'by water; and if we have lost opportunities In foreign markets by teason of the higher cost of rail commerce we havo Immensely gained them in the greater development which the railroads havo rendered possible In our domestic mar kets. Nevertheless It Is a mistake to suppose that In order to havo pros porous railways there must bo no canals. There Is business enough for both system of haulage and a time must come when there will be general and imperious insistence upon a more thorough utilization of tho possibil ities of Internal communication by waterways, natural and artificial. snmll charitable funds of nil sorts. It is used by tho war oHlee for the sav ings of soldiers abroad and for the de posit of deferred pay; and tho Tech nical Education Board of tho London County Council pays Its scholarships through the hooks of tho hank. Nor has tho hank destroyed the older agencies for tho encoutngement of thrift, tho trustee savlngB banks. Very many of tho smaller banks hnvo been closed, and this Is not to bo regretted, as the dlltlcultles of voluntary manage ment not Infrequently lead to disasters, tint tho larger and sounder banks nro in a better condition today than they ever havo been, and the total sum de posited In trustee banks exceeds by several millions tho amount which they held when the postolllco entered tho Held In ISfil. Nor have the benefits conferred by this groat agency for thrift entailed any loss upon the na tion. Though at the present moment there is a slight deficiency on tho work ing of the hnnlc, owing to tho limited range of investments allowed to It and the high pi Ice of consols, the national exchequer has In tho past benefited to tho extent of a million and a half by tho savings Intrusted to the postotllce." A vigorous effort will bp made to get ftoin tho next congress legislation which will permit the adoption of this principle of banking In tho United fctutes with government indorsement. Col.

After a personal examination of the Alaskan boundary, Senator Fairbanks says ho can sec no valid reason why this government should make Canada a present of a port on our seaboard. There is none. Tho Canadian conten tion is as devoid of Justice as would be a claim of WIlkes-Barro on tho Scran ton court house and tho Canadian manner of presenting this absurd and preposterous claim Is in keeping with tho claim Itself. It would be unfor tunate if as a result of tho necessary refusal of the United States to submit to spoliation by Canada there should arise on embarrassment of the cordial relations existing between Washington and London but at any cost our author ities must respect the rights of the Americans who havo settled in Alaska and devoted themselves to tho develop ment of that territory's natural re sources. These people are not to bo handed over Into bondage even to please our friends across the water. As for Canada, If she wants to get privileges from tho United States, lot her officials adopt a neighborly man ner and stop their continual nagging. If the inhabitants of tho dominion could Impress upon those in authority over them the futility of the "spoiled child" role which they hnve persistent ly enacted in their official dealings with American national and individual Interests, and could induce them to try the new plan of being decent, it would require very llttlo time for tho two governments to get together and settle all their differences amicably and in good spirit. This country, in such a contingency, could well afford to bo not only Just but generous toward Can ada, giving more than tho bond re quires. But Uncle Sam is not a man to he goaded by pin pricks Into a sur render of territory or rights. Thoso who think so have not studied history. Judge Van Wyck Is doubtless of tho opinion that the ex-governor of Texas could appropriately drop the extra "s" In spelling his name. A Postal Savings Bank. Tho recent laying in a suburb of Lon don of tho corner-stone of a now five acre building for tho headquarters staff of the British Postal Savings bank calls nttention to an institution which Is often held up to Americans as tho model of something needed in our own land. From an interesting letter by H. R. Chamberlln In the Sun wo ex tract the facts bet forth below. Tho bank Is not a bank where cur lent accounts are kept: there Is no pay ment of checks over the counter; no customer can enter Into any confiden tial relations with the bnnk In fact, there is no bank management in tho ordinary sense of tho term. For tho receipt of money the bank has an office In every town and village in the king dom; there are now over U'.nOO. Tho withdrawal of money is a leisurely af fair and must be conducted by cor le.jpondence; consequently tho direct telaiions of tho head office with tho public are of the slightest character and tho olilco can bo located In a sub urb ns well as In tho business center of London. Tho business of that office la to keep accounts for it has been a distinguishing feature of tho bank from tho lfist that all accounts should lo kept in London, and every payment mado from there to insuu wunaiit3 for tho repayment of deposits, and to conduct a voluminous' correspondence. The bank vas begun In September, 1801, The firm year It acquired 180.000 uccounts, representing ?S,7.'0,000 on de posit. Today It has 7,000.000 depositors and $G0O,U0J,000 in deposits. Tho giowth In Its business has been so rapid that for ten years 100 new clerks have been added to the nccounting corps each year. Tho bank accepts deposits as small as a shilling, which may be made up of penny stamps pasted on a slip. Tho money thus deposited bears Inter cat at 2'rt! per cent. When deposits reach a certain maximum sum, the bank gives tho depositor tho option of purchasing consols, thereby onabllng him to renew his privileges of deposit. Hays Mr. Chamberlln: "It is not only by taking caro of tho savings of the Individual that tho post olllco assists thrift. It la the banker of friendly societies, penny banks, and Just at tho time when learned men on this side of the water havo con cluded to believe In spiritualism, Camille Flammarlon, tho well-known astronomer and author, who has been a spiritualist all his life, comes forward and acknowledges his mistake, and ex plains, to his own satisfaction at least, the spiritualistic phenomena which formerly mystliled him. These scien tific students are making it difficult for the members of tho audience to believe anything. An impressive illustration of the con tempt that many entertain for their opportunities was given 'by the Lan caster electric lineman tho other day, who went to tho trouble of purchasing morphine when ho had resolved to com mit suicide. Sharon reports a child whoso life has been saved by eating Ice cream. A good many cases of this kind might bo placed on record and still tho balance would bo on tho side of the deadly ptomulno.

SOME extraordinary startcs of ad adventure with glair mooso In Now llruimwlek nnd Maine havo recently nppeared In print, but none that for interest can exceed tho recent exnerienco of a partv of men on Lnko Edward In this province ,who, having lassoed a large moose In the water, were towed ashore In their steamer by tho animal, which finally gave thorn the slip, after an exciting contest. Lake Edward, which Is twenty-two miles long and ono of tho most picturesque nnd most richly stocked trout lakes in the province of Quebec, is 118 miles from Quebec city one the lino of tho Quebec nnd Lake St. John railway. On Tuesday, Juno SO, Colonel Austin Blair, a banker of Scranton, Pa., was proceeding down tho lake with two guides on board tho steamer Grace, a screw vessel, twenty-eight feet long. With him were his two fishing guides, Joseph Dechene nnd Dechene's brother-in-law, Lonl Mulr. When they had gone about four miles down the lake nnd almost reached the old cabin still known ns Jvdlrondnck Murray's camp. Joseph, who is half an Indlnn, noticed n moose swimming In the lake about a mllo ahead of them. He signalled tho en gineer, George Grenlor, to shut tho stream off, nnd pointing tho animal out to Lonl Mulr, ho lifted his bark canoe orf the steamer Into the water nnd started out to Intercept the moose. Colonel Blair's story of tho adventure, as repeated In Quebec by people who had It related by him, was of so rematkable a character that, hav ing failed to find him, tho writer ran up to Lake Edward and took It down from Joe Dechene's recital of the facts, rattled oft by him in very Intelligent Canadian French, with the usual ges ticulations in tho presence of his brother-in-law, Lonl Mulr, nnd of his employer, Bob Rowsley, the lessee of tho lake. The remarkable story fully confirmed all tho accounts of the oc currence as attributed in Quebec to Colonel Blair. Joo Decheno told this story: "As tho animal was apparently bent upon crossing the lake in front of the steam er's bows, we dropped back, and by a circular course contrived, unobserv ed, to approach it from tho further side, thus getting in rear of the beast, and between it and the shore from which It had set out to cross the lake. Tho mooso was thus hemmed in by the steamer on the one hand and tho canoe on the other. Tho latter gained rapidly on the animal, and the more fatigued it become tho harder it was dilven by us toward the steamer. I signalled the steamer to come up on the other side of the animal and head It off. The engineer did so, but when wo closed In upon It tho moose, which had hitherto paid all its attention to the steamer, charged at us In the ca noe, striking out with its forefeet and endeavoring to hurl Itself upon us, its eyes glaring and as large as my lists. Meanwhile, I had called to George Grenler, the engineer, to throw a rope from the steamer over Its head, and as he tried to tighten It there the mooso promptly turned from us to attack Grenler, raising Itself in the water in a most extraordinary fash Ion nnd striking out at the steam launch with its forefeet. As he gavo the animal rope, the engineer made an effort to climb on the awning of his vessel, thinking that the moose was about to come aboard, and declaring that he was afraid of a beast that used his front legs so freely. I gavo tho canoo a turn with my paddle and leaped into the launch, fearful that Grenler would let go tho rope. We pulled on it together and when Lonl Joined us and took hold with me, the engineer put in steam again and away we went, towing the mooso In the water at such a rate and with tho rope so tightly around Its neck that after a little while it was in danger of drowning. "Wo hauled it in close to the steamer and I took hold of Its big oars to keep its mouth and nose aboe water. At times 1 tired of this and put one hand right under Its nose to keep it out of wntcr. In spite of this I feared that it would choke to death, nnd I called to tho engineer to go ashore, so that we might secure It In some other manner. Lonl, my brother-in-law, was opposed to running ashore with tho animal, but I felt that we could not tow It back to the station alive, and we head ed for land. As tho vessel slowed a llttlo we managed to tie Its forelegs together, nnd almost succeeded In bind ing the hind legs, too. As wo neared the shoro I saw that I had made a mis take and that tho mooso was more than we could control. As Its feet touched the ground where the laka giadually shallowed toward the shore, nearly a quarter of a mile before reach ing It, the captive brute wont forward by great leaps and bounds, fifteen foot at a time. Three of us hung on to the rope that held It and pried our feet against the steamer's side, but It quickly towed us ashore, in splto of all our effoits. Meanwhllo the engineer had tied the end of tho rope to tho vessel's nnchor and thrown the latter overboard. Having succeeded in grounding tho steamer the mooee tore away from us, snapping tho thre-quarter-lnch rope that bound its legs as if it had been twine. It leaped for the woods, but the anchor caught up a saw log that lay on the uhoro. Thli it dragged behind It, apparently with the greatest case, until the log caught up on two balsalm trees, between which It had bounded. As tho log bent tho trees forwnrd, it slid up their trunks for at least three or four feet, und, seeing that tho animal had bren brought to a standstill, three of us jumped into the water nnd waded ashore after It, my iden being to tie tho moose securely. "Its first act upon finding that there was no longer nny strain upon It was to turn round to see If It was really free. Finding tho rope no longer sus pended from lis neck, It shook lt head gayly und trotted oft Into tho woods. As 1t disappeared among tho trees we noticed that It had about thirty feet of ropo dangling from one of its fiont legs. V put the steamer about again and leaped ashore to follow the es caped prisoner, but without success. A llttlo later It came out of tho woods 200 yards below and again took to the water. It did not swim far enough fiom land to cnnbli us to get between it and the shore, but had evidently 001110 down for a 'bath to escape flum tho myriads of flics that clung to It3 eyes, nose and tho dreadful sores upon Its neck whero It hnd been chafed by tho rope. Its tongue was hanging out nnd It gazed curiously nt the steamer until It had disappeared from view around a neighboring point on Its way homo to Its dock. There is no doubt," said Joe, "that If wo had kept the brute in the water when wo first had It thoro, wo should havo succeeded In keeping it a prisoner." o The whole ndventuro was so remark able In character that all the men who participated In It ngrce that they would not havo believed It had they not seen It. Joo Decheno undoubtedly owes his life to tho fact that ho followed hli brother-in-law's advlco when engaged In chasing the moose in his canoe. They gained rapidly on the animal, and Colonel Blair declares that ho seldom saw a prettier sight than tho manner In which the two French-Canadian guides made the birch bark leap and dart over the surface of the water as if It were itself a thing of life and ac tion. As they approached the moose, Joe wanted to catch It by the tall and thus compel it to tow them nshore. Lonl Mulr objected, saying that he was not yet ready to be killed, and Joe saw quite enough of the hrute's strength and strange nntlcs later to make him thankful that he Is alive and well to day, and that Lonl Interposed an ob jection to his original plan of captur ing a live moose.
