PHILADELPHIA HAS
AN ATHLETIC CARP.
Is a Combination High and Broad
Jumper The Record.
While Affiorlcnn athletes tire break
ing records nbrond nn American nth
lete living In Philadelphia, says the
Philadelphia Tress, has broken n
wcrld's record and sot n mark which 1
mill doubtless remain for some yoars I
unless the athlete In question sees lit 1
to break his own record.
Being modest and spurning the ap
plause which attends such events, he
performed the remarkable fent In the ,
presence of two of his associates be- j
longing to the fair sex and a stranger
of whoso presence he was unconscious, j
It was through this stranger that the ,
new champion was made known to the
world I
He did not search for n big stadium
filled with thousands of admirers, but
took In preference his everyday envi
ronment. The new world beater is n large carp
which has recently been received nt the
nquarlum. who in defiance of Mr. Mee
ban, In charge of the aquarium, Jump
ed from his tank and started to make a
tour of Inspection In Knirmount park,
showing marked partiality for thu
Schuylkill river.
Since his arrival at the aquarium
Mr. Carp has entertained his lady ac
quaintances and his keepers with mar
velous Jumping feats. Ills acrobatic
accomplishments were becoming too
pronounced for his good health and the
state of mind In which he kept his
keepers. As a check to his wanderlust
a wire netting was placed above his
tank to prevent him trying his hand
nt aeronautics.
One day recently ho resented this re
straint of his liberty and with a
mighty jump lunged against this
Hereon, knocked it off and hit about six
feet from his tank. Ills jump was fully
three and a half feet high, which
makes a combination high broad Jump.
Mr Meehan has now solved the ques
tion of Mr. Carp's captivity and has
tied this top on with large rope.
NAVY TESTS ALASKAN COAL.
Cruiser Maryland on Northern Cruise
to Study Results.
The cruiser Maryland recently left
Tacoma, Wash., under orders to ply
Alaskan waters until Septcmler. Cap
tain Ellicott Is Instructed to Inspect
the government coaling stations on
Prince William sound and Resurrec
tion bay, the Bering lake and Mata
nuska coal fields ami oil fields at Oil
bay and Cold bay.
The order Is believed to have result
ed from Investigations made last win
ter, when intervention in Mexico was
threatened. It was discovered that in
the event of war chartered foreign
ships taking coal to the Pacific would
be subject to seizure for carrying con
( traband of war, leaving the Pacific
fleet In a helpless condition.
It was pointed out thnt Alaska coal
was 2,000 miles nearer the Philippines
than the Mare Island coaling station
and 12,000 miles nenrer than the Vir
ginia coal mines.
As early as four years ngo Alaskan
coal was tested by the government,
giving returns of 2 per cent greater
utility for naval purposes than Vir
ginia coal, now brought around Cape
Horn at great exicnso. The Maryland
will further test the Alaskan coal.
Becently she loaded at Tacoma 000
tons of Gale creek coal, mined near
Tacoma, which has given the navy
better results than any other Pnclflc
coal. The lighthouse vessels on the
Pacific are substituting It for Virginia
coal.
NATION IS GROWING RICHER.
Has $3,640,407,621, and Most of it Is
Safely Locked Up.
The American government and peo
ple began the new fiscal year with $3,
040,407,021, of which nil but $503,021,
003 Is in circulation. The balance is
held in the treasury vaults ns the as
sets of the federal government. This
vast volume of real money breaks all
records, so far as the treasury state
ments show, for the winding up of a
fiscal year, and It beats a year ago by
?si,rxx),ooo.
The treasury offlclals, estimating that
the population has grown to 95,(;jfl,000
up to July 1, say that a pro rata dis
tribution of this money would glvo
each person ?.'U.20, or 0 cents more
than a year ago. The total volume of
gold Is $l,S.11.-JffU0O. Of this amount
$C07,445,10:i is in circulation, nn in
crease of 5in,rx).ff)0 during the year.
Tbo country has $7:i2,l(V.,173 in silver.

Not Enough
He Urges Taking Boys Off
the Streets and Away
From Temptation.
I
By THOMAS It. M AltSli ALL, Governor
ot Indlina.
THE home, if a proper one, is the
place for tho boy. There he
can obtain mental and moral ed
ucation, observe Ideals and do
lelop idea--, it rarely happens that n
boy In a home deliberately goes wrotig.
It Is perhuis necessary, however, that
I should define a home. Tho grade of
Its mateilal surroundings, If cleanly,
counts but little. If It Is n place where
the father returns to eat and drink and
sleep and swear It Is not a home, no
dlftcrciuc what other ndvantnges It
may possess. If the mother Is anxious
to get rid of the duties and responsi
bilities of motherhood and stays only
because of necessity nnd seeks every
opportunity to shift her i hlldren on to
the Sunday school or the day school or
the neighbors and is more Interested In
(lie big chappies who watch her along
the avenue than in the little chap who
calls her mother, then the place she
rules Is not n home.
It may bo humble In Its character,
rented from week to week, nnrrow in
Its quarters and poorly furnished, but
if it Is a place where oe man and one
woman believe the giv .test happiness
on earth to be. If the; realize that there
opportunity exists to train up in the
tenets of our most holy faith a boy
for useful citizenship, if it Is a place
where no sacrifice Is too great, where
hope smiles and love sweetens every
duty, then that humble place is an
American home.
Parents In Bondage.
Unfortunately for tho good of the
republic these homes are not numer
ically Increasing In the land. The con
stant trend of population from the
country to the city, the vast growth of
manufacturing Industries, the high cost
of living nnd the cost of high living
are putting the fathers and mothers of
the land in bondage.
Deprived of time and opportunity to
look after their boys, they must needs
let them grow wild. Under such ei
cumstances the boys turn to the streets
and alleys and unlnclosed commons of
our great cities.
Theoretically speaking, the family
and the home have a right to their own
boys; theoretically speaking, the family
and tlie home are responsible for the
nurture and training of these boys,
and, theoretically shaking, it Is no-IkhIj-'s
business whether they turn out
well or 111, but here again conditions
force our theories down.
Another unfortunate condition of our
present day civilization, induced large
ly by the Influx to the cities of our
population and the ever widening
chasm between the immensely rich and
j the unutterably poor, is the soclnl life
I in many of our churches today. We
I cannot say with truth that we Chris
. tinns love each other to the extent that
our churches are units of Christian so
cialism and that the members, without
regard to their social standing, their
educational advantages or their ma
terial surroundings, meet upon a com
mon level with a genuinely mutual
feeling tlmt nil are the children of tho
selfsame God and tlmt each is inter
ested In tho material, social and re
ligious welfare of the other.
It may be stated that almost uni
versally tho Jew and the Ilomnn Cath
olic do look after their own, and many
churches in tho various Trotestant de
nominations do as well, but Protestant
churches there are, nnd in numbers too
great, where tlioso of n certain grade
in society merely meet and go through
a religious service.
Her feeling may bo wlwlly unfound
ed, but the woman in a calico dress
does not feel at home in tho same pew
with the woman in silk, nnd the man
with a business suit who walks to
church shares not a fraternal feeling
with the man wearing a Trlnce Albert
nnd n silk hat.
There is either no time or no inclina
tion to distribute Christian charity
among tlie nnforrunato of Christ's lit
tle flock, nnd tho stricken lambs are
taken to tho township trustee for as
sistance. Paternalism That Is Inimical.
Tin,' whole trend of modern c'.vlllm.
: Hon Is toward the management of all
1 Ional and charitable work by the state.
I This Inevitably tends to ixiternnllsm.
A paternalism which remove resiwn
sibllity from tho Imwiw niwl wtiL-li t ISM.
ens the zeal of tho church Is distinctly
Inimical to the best intertts of a ieo
pic. We face tlie condition. We cannot
let men go wrong Ikichuso tlio Iwmo is
not doing itu duty. Wo cannot let
people BUfTer lxx-ause tho church has
not seized its opportunity.
The Btnte, which is the common par
ent of us ail, must assume all these
burdeiw nnd renponsibllltloa and must
bo answerable in sight of God and
inun for tho attitude and conduct of
ncomlng generations. It behooves,
therefore, ail Uiour;litful citizens to ns
certain w1tlicr poino inotliod may not
bo devised wiienrby mwieurubly wo
can return to U10 original Ideals and
theories of tl Hairing nnd Imeplng of
ourcitizun&hln.
It may not bo needful, but It Is cer
tainly udrisublo that men Interested fn

together and by formation of societies
which are not a delegated authority of
legislative power endeavor to correct
these evils and both by precept nnd ex
ample Impress upon the home nnd tho
church the Inevitable necessity of n re
turn to first principles.
Boy of Today Is Primeval.
Ah a starting point for tho nccom-
I pllshmcnt of these purposes right
I minded men first turn their glnnces to
I ward the boy and the boy's condition
I in tlie great centers of population.
I Tlie boy of today Is as primeval ns
1 Cain and Abel. He is born not lmmor
al. but unmoral. He Is a cave man.
lie Is the sole survivor of the stone
age. Nothing Is sacred to him. He Is
born without the pale of the law, and
he has not heard of the gospel. Ho
does not understand In his natural
state why anything that Is loose does
not belong to him, nnd be does not njv
preciate grass except ns something to
walk upon. Very probably he lives un
der surroundings where there Is either
no time, no opportunity or no desire
to tench him the great laws of life.
Now, the state Is facing these condi
tions: The juvenile courts are crowd
ed, the number of probation olllcers is
constantly being Increased, tho reform
atories and schools for incorrigible
lioys are being taxed beyond capacity,
and petty offenses are growing more
numerous nil tho while. It docs no
good for us to say that this is none of
our business. It will not help matters
the least for us to sit down and fold
our hnnds nnd say that God will reme
dy tliese things. Tho thoughtful man
must put nslde his theories, his opin
ions and his prejudices In the face of
actual conditions, and he is unworthy
of his high heritage who will not by
thought nnd word nnd deed render all
possible assistance.
It was, I think, tho theory of those
who inaugurated tho Boys' club move
ment In America that much as they
regretted Interfering with family rela
tions they deemed it wise to begin in
terference before the state took a
hand, thereby rendering it Improbable
that the state would ever bo called
upon to redress grievances, punish
wrongs and take the doubtful chance
of mending n broken character.
Highest Type of Citizenship.
The highest type of citizenship lives
Its life, does Its work and leaves Its
Impress upon this day and generation
because it liar, been obedient to au
thority. Sooner or later all men re
alize that there must be obedience to
law. Thrice happy are those parents
who early begin to train their children
to a knowledge of their responsibility
to God and man and to hold a decent
respect for constituted authority and
to cheerfully obey tho laws, human
and divine.
The boys' club movement does not
wnnt to abolish the home Its purposes
are In strict accord with tlie highest
Ideals of home. It seeks by tlie forma
tion of its clubs and tho erection of
Its buildings to take tho boys off tlie
streets and away from tho temptation
of a great city; to instil into their
minds right ideas and correct prin
ciples; to seal their eyes to tho wrong
and evil of the world until their Judg
ment and conscience shall become so
stable and fixed that they will prefer
tho right to tho wrong, understand that
tho right not only pays, but is the
only thing that pnys, and thnt from
tho wrong they can never obtain any
peace, satisfaction or profit; to give
them an avenue whereby their boyish
enthusiasm may find an outlet in nil
tho simple and tonest pleasures of life;
to teach thorn coumgo and fortitude;
to ascertain by exiwrimcnt tho things
which they aro fitted to do In life; to
bring them together and haw them as

will bo mutually regardful of each

their minds clean, their Hps pure and
their conduct above reproach; to help
