The slippery walks we have had this winter have certinly proved a very important factor to the scientific world. We refer particularly to their astronomical value. Many stars and plants that have not yet been seen, have been discovered by the most humble pedestrians. Prof. B. J. Bowers, our worthy schoolmaster, has had a deeper glimpse into this realm than most of us. One evening recent- ly, while returning from school, his gaze was turned upward by some un- seen force, and by the same force his feet took an aerial voyage, and many luminous bodies flashed before him. The result was plainly visible to all.. 800 STRIKE IN CAR PLANT Waik-Out at Baltimore Concern Re cently Acquired by Standard Comgany.

PAST GIFTS TOTAL $131,000,000 Bill ta Incorporate Is Introduced in Senate by Gallinger of New . Hampshire. Washington—A bill introduced in the regular course of business in the senate by Senator George Gallinger of New Hampshire revealed the most stupendous work of philanthropy in the history of the world. The author of the scheme is John D. Rockefeller. The purpose of the foundation is to provide for a gener: al organization to conduct philan thropic work along all lines. It is understood that the foundation will be endowed largely by John D. Rock: efeller and that he takes this means to dispose of a large part of his enorm- ous wealth. The incorporators named in the bill are John D. Rockefeller, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Fred T. Gates, Starr J. Murphy and Charles O. Heydt These incorporators are authorized ta select associates, not to exceed a to- tal of 25, and it is provided that there shall not be at any time less than five. The Rockefeller Foundation, accord: ing to the bill, is organized to pro mote the well being and advance the civilization of the people of the United States and its possessions in foreign lands and for the acquisition and dis semination of knowledge; for the pre- vention and relief of suffering and promotion of any and all of the ele ments of human knowledge. Seeks Mankind’'s Welfare. It was stated by Senator Gallinger ‘that Rockefeller away $52,000,000 and that . he was seeking a method of disposing of his fortune that would benefit mankind. The foundation is organized on lines similar to the Carnegie foundation for the advancement of teaching. As in the case of the latter institution the Rockefeller Foundation will be author- ized to receive and dispense gifts of mceney cther than those obtained from® the original endowments, the amount of which has not been fixed. The sccpe of the foundation is very broad. Estimates of Mr. Rockefeller’s past benefactions and present fortune vary largely. It is conceded that in char- ity he has but one leader—Andrew Carnegie—and the best opinion is that Mr. Rockefeller has given away something approaching $131,000,000 as against $162,000,000 fer Mr. Carnegie. WILL DISTRIBUTE MILLIONS Son of Standard Oil Magnate Intends Devoting Life to Philanthrophy. New York—Among charities the new Rockefeller foundation is to be- come what the Standard Oil Company has long been among corporations, and John D. Rockefeller, Jr., as its head, will in another sphere of influ- ence perpetuate the combination so long maintained in the world or in- dustry by John D. Rockefeller, Sr., as president of the Standard. The younger Rockefeller announc- ed that he had recently retired from the directorate of the Standard to as sume the management of his father’s benefactions, of which he thus be- comes almoner-in chief. No successor has been appointed to fill his place in the oil company, and from 15 the board has been cut to 14. The announcement was taken in Wall street to mean two things—that all past estimates of young Rockefel ler’s future must now be revised, and that hereafter the Rockefeller millions will no longer be a market factor. In. stead, it is assumed they will pass wholly finto conser ative securities, such as it is proper for trust funds, savings banks and insurance compan ies to acquire, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is now 33 Greeted on his graduation from Brown university, some years ago, as in prospect the richest young man of the world, he now leaves the field to J.

According to reports so far received, 30 persons The chief of police of Berlin, fearing danger from the assembly of so many thousands in the . popular park of Treptow, the place chosen by the soc: ialists, forbade a demonstration of any kind there. But the Socialist newspaper, Vorwaerts,” announced that the manifestation would be held, in spite of the order of prohibition. This caused the concentration of a powerful force of police and gendar- merie in the park, which left the re- mainder of the city virtually unguard ed. i eC The Socialist leaders, observing that their plan had been frustrated, quietly and quickly passed the word to their followers to proceed to the other end of the city. /T'hese instruc tions were obeyed by 30,000 manifes- tants, who succeeded in accomplish ing the “stroll”. almost undisturbed, while the others, who had remained ahound Treptow park, came into se- vere collision with the gendarme with serious eonsequeBees.

LABOR NOTES The replies of the southern railroads Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the Order of Railway Conductors were opened here. The refusal of the roads to meet the men’s terms was unanimous. This places the southern railroad situation in practically the same state as that in the territory north of the Chesa- peake & Ohio and east of the Missis- sippi. It is now certain that any ac- tion taken by the men to press de- mands will be simultaneous in the east and south. : The result of the strike vote of the Baltimore & Ohio men will be known to President W. G. Lee of the train- men and Grand Master Garretson of the conductors early this coming week. If the decision is to call a strike, as it is expected to be, the ex- ecutive councils of the two orders, which will meet here later, are ex- pected to submit to the men on all the railroad lines the question wheth- er a general strike shall be called. The strike votes on the Baltimore & Ohio and at large will not be imme- diately effective. It is understood at the Brotherhood headquarters here that the votes will be used as ammu- nition by the chiefs of the two orders, to be used only in the event of a final refusal by the roads to concede the wage adjustment asked. In any event, affairs will not reach a crisis, it is now expected, for two weeks at \east, “We are not running a mine-kinder- garten; won't take chances on exple- sions,” explained officials of Edna No. 2 mine, or the United Coal Company, when ithey dismissed more than 100 immigrants, who had been brought to ' | the colliery as miners. The men came direct from New York, it is now known, in charge of a labor agent. They were furnished with tools and lamps and sent into the mine. Bosses soon discovered they were going into places marked “danger” and most of them did not know how to open and light a miner’s lamp. Jha, Jered No time was lost in out of the workings. out several hundred Ak for fares and other” expenses advanced. The men left for other places to seek work while the company is. scouring the district for experienced miners, At Purham, N. :C., Within the next few weeks a ‘hosiery will built by negro labor with negro capi- tal, and which will be operated entire- ly by negro labor, will open for busi ness here, with a capitalization of $50,000. Most of the capital has been sup- plied by John Merrick, a negro, who began life as a barber, and R. B. Fitzgerald, reputed to be the richest negro in South Carolina. He began life making bricks. The factory was designed by a ne- gro architect, and all the work on it was done by negroes. The building is owned by a negro insurance com- pany, and the operating company will be composed largely of the same men. Coal operators in the Lawrence-Mer- cer-Butler district do not anticipate any trouble in the settlement of the wage scale in that district. The old agreement made two years ago runs out the first of the coming April, and a new scale is to be arranged for the following two years. The qperaions have been looking forward' to a meeting with the repre- sentatives of the miners for several weeks, but as yet the miners have done nothing in the way of appointing a committee. A (large percentage of the miners of the district do not be- long to any union. It is likely the miners will ask for a small increase. Want Dental School Inspection. Cleveland, O.—A national cam paign for dental inspection in the public schoo!s will be begun here on March 18, when a series of meetings, under the auspices of the Ohio State and National Dental associations will be inaugurated. = Dr. C.

York—The Yorkhaven Water and Power company, a $3,000,000 corpora- tion, has gone into receivership, Ed- win F. Baker, secretary and manager of the company, being appointed re- ceiver. The company’s plant is on the Busquehanna river, and supplies cur- rent for commercial purposes to York, Harrisburg and Steelton. The ap- nointment of a receiver is attributed to the drought of last summer and the tuit of the Yorkhaven Paper Company for prior water rights and damages.

Columbus, O.—The house of repre- centatives by a vote of 101 to 0 pass ed the Geleerd white slave bill which provides pehaltyl rapging from one year in the penitentiary and $1,000 fine to 12 years in the penitentiary and $5,000 fine. The bill not only! forbids white slave traffic in the state, but makes it a penalty for any HOOT) to transport a female through the state for illegal purposes. If anybody is getting rich out of the increase, in prices submits the Denver Republican, it must be the farmers, and they certainly are in no trust. The land is open, the road to the farms a broad one, and whoever will may join the ranks of the pro- ducers. The trouble is that altogeth- er top many are satisfied to stay on in the cities as consumers, (taking their chances in bidding on what the farmer raises to sell, and letting prices of room rent, house rent, coal, porterhouse steak, pork chops and potatoes make any new record they please so long as only we ican side- step the simple life.
