The Rosary of My Years.
Some reckon their age by years.
Some reckon their lift by art—
But some tell their days by the How of
tlieir tears,
And their life by the moans of their
heart.
Theailals of earth may show
The length, not the depth of years;
Few or many they come—few or many
they go—
But out time Is best measured by tears.
Ah! not by the silver gray
That creeps through .the sunny hair.
And not by the scenes that we pass on
our way—
And not by the furrow the linger of care
On the forehead and face have made,
Not so do we count our years:
Not by the sun of tiie earth—but the ;
shade
Of our souls, and'the fall of our tears. j i
For the young are ofttlmes old. ;
Though tlieir brow be bright and fair; |
While their blood beats warm, their heart
lies cold—
O’er them the springtime—hut winter Is
there.
Anti the old are ofttlmes young
When their hair Is thin and white:
And they sing In age us In youth they
sung,
And they laugh, for tlieir cross was light.
A thousand Joys may foam
On the billows of all the years;
But never the foam brings the brave bark
home;
It reaches the haven through tears.

The Importance of securing Indus¬
trial conditions where there shall be
steady employment for all able to
work, appears front the following: A
committee on statistics has reported
that in 935 cases of distress investi¬
gated, only sixty-six were persons em¬
ployed all the tiifie. In about half
the cases there had been. no employ¬
ment for periods varying under one
year. In nearly one-third of the cases
there was Irregular or insufficient em¬
ployment. There were about 100 ca:es
where the non-employment was of
such long duration that it must have
been due to permanent disability. In
studying lack of employment us a
cause of distress, an endeavor was
made to eliminate other causes, so
that only lack of employment due to
the misfortune or misconduct of the
applicant should remain. From this
point of view the principal causes of
distress, acco' ling to the judgment of
the agents, were these: Sickness, ac¬
cident or death, about thirty per cent.
Intemperance, about nineteen per cent.
Lack of thrift, etc., about eighteen per
cent. La*k of employment not due to
employe, about twenty-five per cent.
There can be no doubt that lack of
regular employment was in many cases
the cause of the "intemperance” and
‘‘lack of thrift" that accounted for
thirty-seven per cent more of the dis¬
tress.
Change In Corporation Law Suggested.
A few weeks ago, in response to sev¬
eral Inquiries addressed to me, I gave
reasons why I would not advise any
person to invest his time or money in
what are commonly called co-operative
or industrial colonies, the state of law
and industrial conditions being as they
are. This week I will present a few
expressions of opinion from authori¬
ties widely separated, but all worthy
of careful consideration, that bear upon
the same point, and strengthen the
conclusion then arrived at. Mr. Eugene
V. Debs is now a student of and lec¬
turer on economic questions. In the
announcement of his manager, solicit¬
ing engagements for Mr. Debs, is the
following: “Beginning with Septem¬
ber, eight months will be divided
among the various states. At the end
of that time Mr. Debs goes abroad to
fill engagements in England and Aus¬
tralia and to study economic condi¬
tions In foreign lands. The great
movement In which he Is a factor has
become international, and the United
States no more remains to itself than
one of our cities or states can hold
aloof from the others.” In such mat¬
ters, Mr. Debs’ manager evidently puts
out Mr. Debs’ views. The point Is
made that this country cannot isolate
Itself from other countries If It would.
That is the first thing to hear in mind.
Next I quote a statement by Mr. H. H.
Rogers, made before the federal In¬
dustrial commission Sept. 9. Mr.
Rogers is president of the National
Transit company, one of the branches
of the Standard 011 company. He said
that "he favored a national corpora¬
tion law as in the Interest both of the
corporations and the people at large,
and he thought that If the United
States was to achieve its legitimate
destiny as a commercial nation, the
constitution should be amended in this
respect.” At present every state char¬
ters corporations, and as every state
Is required to respect the acts of all
other stated, It becomes evident that
state control of all great corporations,
based on conditions of corporation
laws, is visionary rather than possl
ble. Thus, Pennsylvania has what

which a corporation may make pins,
trolley combines, operate dairies,
run lecture lyceums and consolidate
cnal mines, or do anything else, all at
the same time. Consequently most big
Pennsylvania corporations get Jersey
charters. Of course, it is theoretically
possible that all states might at the
tame time enact the same law, and re¬
tain it. but to expect that that will be
done is visionary. A third point, go¬
ing to show the absolute helplessness
of small private corporations, is
brought out In tho following paragraph
from the Iron, Age: “There is one
danger to establishments of moderate
size in the concentration of power in
the hands of consolidations which has
not been dwelt upon and that grows
out of the possibility of special rates
of freight. In large transactions these
are naturally subject to special nego¬
tiations, and there are good reasons
why low rates arc granted. A shipper
who Is in a position to deliver on the
tracks of a road, day after day, whole
trainloads of material by doing his
own switching performs a valuable
service for which he is entitled to cou
si derail on. In some instances shlp
pers have gone even further. A con
spicuous Instance may be cited from
the anthracite coa! trade, where one
large individual operator owns all the
rolling stock needed and hauls his own
cars with his own locomotives and
train crews front the regions to tide¬
water. under a simple trackage con¬
tract. What is done In one branch
of the mineral traffic may be done
also, possibly in a modified form, in
other branches and in certain depart¬
ments of the crude or finished iron and
steel Industries. Small producers with
limited capital would find it difficult
to meet such competition.”
Are You Wide Awake?
Here is a news Item from the Na¬
tional Labor Tribune ot Pittsburg,Pa.,
and headed “New invention that means
economy to the capitalist and loss to
the toiler." It reads: “Charles Mac¬
beth, the Pittsburg lampchlmney man¬
ufacturer. has patented a new and de¬
cidedly novel process, which will prob¬
ably revolutionize glassmaking. Here¬
tofore the greatest trouble tn glass
manufacture lay in the melting of the
sand. It has taken a great deal of
time, and requires good fuel, natural
gas being the best. While passing
through his plant recently Mr. Mac¬
beth saw a globe on an arc light break,
and a piece of the glass fell over the
carbon. In a second It was reduced
to liquid and dropped to the ground.
That gave him his cue, and he directed
the construction of a big vat,with sides
and bottom composed of carbons, over
which ho could turn a current. An
arrangement was made to run tho sand
through this vat. It worked perfectly,
and the very best molten glass Is now
being turned out in nlmost ns many
seconds as it required hours for the old
fuels to melt it. The vat was patented
and is now being used. It is so ar¬
ranged that it call be adapted for every
kind of glassmaking from plate to bot¬
tles. This invention, in connection
with the automatic blowing machin¬
ery, which is being turned out,is likely
to have a great effect on glassmaking.
The cost of melting by this process is
not as great as with the use of coal or
oil, although it may be mors expen¬
sive than natural gas. At present It
takes twelve hours to melt a pot of
glass and sand.”
Not to discuss the effect tills Inven¬
tion may have on glass workers, the
above paragraphs suggest this query
to every man who works: “Are you
wide awake?” Mr. Macbeth appears
to be, and to have what Carlyle calls
"the seeing eye.” This time, at least,
he saw to good advantage. The world
being as it is, and not likely to radical¬
ly change at once, it behooves us ail
to be wide awake, and see, and apply.
Notes.
The number of railroad einployes
killed In the year was 1.95S, wounded
31,761.
Mr. John Boyd, state president of tho
United Mine Workers, Michigan,
"warns all miners to stay away from
Wenona Beach mine, Bay county, un¬
til the company compiles with the
state agreement.”
The three chief changes In the Iron
molders’ union were the provisions for
a graduated death benefit according to
continuous years of membership, a
more liberal application of the out-of
work feature, and provisions for tho
establishment of conference board3.
All the miners and mine employes
of the Dayton Coal and Iron company
at Dayton, Tenn., are on strike. The
company recently discharged several
men belonging to the United Mine
Workers of America because of offen
sivenes3 as agitators. The mlaers de¬
manded that the men be reinstated and
their union recognized. This was re¬
fused and the strike followed.
The scheme of the late Calvin S.
Brice to build a railroad from the
Tennessee coal fields to the seacoast
has been revived. A preliminary sur¬
vey for the proposed road was made
about eight years ago from a point in
Cumberland, Tenn., to Walhalla, S. C.
The contemplated route goe3 down the
Sequatchie valley, by way of Chat¬
tanooga. Some of the Brice Interests
are said to be back of tbe present
movement.
THE LOGIC OF EVENTS.
BRINGING SUPPORT TO PUBLIC
OWNERSHIP OF RAILROADS.
The Most Gigantic, Relentless and Cor
ruptlug Trusts iu the Country Owe
Their Existence and Tower to t’on
utvance with Kailrouil Monopolies.
The logic of events—that stern
teacher against whom no man can
stand—lg driving many conservative,
easy-going, Lt-well-enough-alone peo¬
ple into the ranks of the advocates of
government ownership of railroads. It
is quite the fashion now to lay the'
formation of trusts to the operation of
the protective tariff, in some cases
this may be a factor, but three of the
most gigantic, releutleas and corrupt¬
ing trusts in the country are entirely
independent of the tariff. They are
thu sugar trust, Standard Oil company
and the bfef comblue. The history of
these combinations reveal the true
cause of the growth of trusts, and that
is railroad discrimination In rates.
Putting every article on the free list
will be useless as long as the railroads
are permitted to make a lower rate oil
trust goods from the seaports to the
Interior than would be granted to the
shippers of Imported articles.
Anti-trust legislation can be enacted
by every congress aud legislature for
the next hundred years, and as long
as one company or individual can ship
his goods cheaper than any one else
Just so long will they have an advan¬
tage iu the sale of their line of goods.
That railroads do so discriminate none
can deny. It is a matter of public rec¬
ord. The recent testimony of L. M.
Lockwood, a Pennsylvania oil produc¬
er, before the Industrial commission,
reveals the situation in its horrible
rottenness. He quoted A. J. Cassatt,
the new president of the Pennsylvania
railroad, as testifying before the Inter¬
state railway commission to the effect
that, while the open rate to the public
was $1.90 per barrel, the rate to the
Standard . company was 80 cents.
Further investigation, said Mr. Lock
wood, had developed the fact that the
railroad companies actually received
only 35 cents. This condition of af¬
fairs had resulted for a time, according
to the witness, in giving the Standard
company a profit of 400 per cent, while
the Independent refineries were being
rapidly driven Into bankruptcy.
He said that men who had carefully
analyzed the testimony taken before
the Hepburn committee estimated that
in 186 months’ time the five trunk lines
of Pennsylvania had paid the Standard
company $11,000,000 in rebates. The
railroad companies had, he said, com¬
pletely Ignored the order of the indus¬
trial state commission to stop their
discrimination in favor of the Stand¬
ard company, resorting to the system
of false billing.
Speaking of the remedy for the evil,
Mr. Lockwood said it was in public
ownership of the railroads and it was
hot to be found In the courts—the
courts were too slow aud expensive.
“The railroads and the oil company
can razoo a man up and down In the
courts for ten years,” he said, “until
he is ruined financially, and then go on
with their work, leaving their victims
stranded. As a reward, the combines
elevate their instruments to higher
places politically. Thus It is that the
thought of the common people Is grad¬
ually becoming fixed to the effect that
the great railway combines are grad¬
ually packing the supreme courts with
men In sympathy with their monopo¬
listic tendencies, and who will do their
bidding. Thus the interstate com¬
merce law is rendered Ineffective.”
The only safe plan, said Mr. Lock
wood, was to tatke the railroads out of
the hands of the corporations and place
them under the control of the govern
ment so that every man could go to
market as cheaply as every other man.
He considered all the railroads of the
country as practically one gigantic
trust, and asserted that they were In
control of our politics, contributing
millions to elect legislators, senators
and Judges, and to punish those not
willing to do their bidding. With ab¬
solute equality over the roads, the In¬
dependent companies would drive the
Standard company Into a secondary
place in a short time. There would
then, he asserted, be no more shooting
down of striking miners, for the miner
could send his product to market as
cheaply as the mine monopolist. So
In all other lines of business. If the
government did not control the rail¬
ways, the railways would control the
government. He advocated the tak¬
ing of the roads under the right of
eminent domain, paying the owners the
actual value of their property.
There is a promise of better things;
this year of manta for combinations
has done more to awaken the public
mind to our true situation and Its
dangers than fifteen years of agitation.
Once let the American people became
fully Informed as to way out of a diffi¬
culty and they will not be slow to take
the right path. H. N. OWEN.
Labor Trouble* In Culm.
In Havana Gen. Ludlow has broken
up a general strike fof shorter hours
by ruthlessly thrusting Into prison
every labor leader on whom he could
lay his hands. He denied the work
m en of Havana the right of public
meeting. His methods were very sum¬
mary and very effective. Similar meth¬
ods employed In Idaho in behalf of
ttie Standard Oil company’s mines
have nearly crushed the spirit out of
the miners of that unfortunate state.
This is not Russia; in Russia the
tendency is toward liberalism and
freedom; in this country it is toward
militarism, imperialism and despotism.
In Havana and Idaho McKinley has
been “trying it on the dog.” The next
move on the program will be to sup¬
press by force every attempt on the
part of the people to struggle against
oppression. The constitution is plead¬
ed whenever capital can gain a point
and violated impudently whenever its
just powers stand in the way of cor¬
porate greed.

Whither Are We Drifting?
Washington Letter to Buffalo Ex¬
press: For the first two months or
the new fiscal year our government has
expended $102,969,090.33, of which $21.
086,469.81 has gone for the support of
the civil and miscellaneous establish¬
ment, and all the rest for military ex¬
penses of one kind or another. The
army got $34,262,080.06; the navy, $9,-
688,245.40; military pensions, $26,055
674.80, and interest on the war debt,
$9,153,84J.38, a total on the military
side of the ledger of $79,159,845.64, or
at the rate of $474,059,073.84 a year for
war-llke outgoes, while the total cost
of the civil establishment was at the
annual rate of $126,398,938.86. At the
present time not quite 80 per cent ©f
the expenses of carrying on this peace¬
ful country are on account of wars,
past, present and anticipated, but the
ratio Is nearer to 80 per cent than
to any other round figure. Is there
any other country, free or despotic,
which spends a larger proportion of Us
income on war? I do not know, be¬
cause I have not had the opportunity
to look up the statistics, hut I should
be surprised, Indeed, to find that any
country of high civilization, or pre¬
tending to high civilization, spends
four times as muck on war and war¬
like preparation as on all its civil ex¬
penses put together. It Is difficult to
comprehend that, with hardly a reali¬
zation of it by the people, we are be¬
coming the most warlike of nations,
so far, at least, as outlay on military
matters goe3. Moreover, the taxes are
largely taking on a new form. They
are coming home to men’s business and
bosoms more closely than heretofore.
The Indirect taxes of the tariff, which
have from the beginning of the repub¬
lic been the mainstay of the federal
government, are so no longer. For the
first two months of the new fiscal year
the receipts from the tariff were $37,-
518.151.63, while the receipts from the
indirect taxes of the internal revenue
were $62,559,613.96.

THST0RY OF MOCHA COFFEE.
Was it tiie Sheik Schoedeli Who Popular
ized the Drink.
Mocha is not alone the name of a
kind of coffee, but also of a port in
the district of Yemen on the Red Sea.
The patron saint of both was Sheik
Schoedeli, whose memory is venerated
by the Mohammedans almost ns much
as that of Mohamet himself, says a
writer in the I.os Angeles Times.
One day 500 years ago a vessel from
the Indies cast anchor in the port.
Those on board had noticed a hut, aud
they disembarked to see what it was.
The sheik tfor it was his dwelling) re¬
ceived tiie strangers kindly and gave
them some coffee to drink, for he was
very fond of it and attributed great
virtue to it. Tiie travelers, who had
never seen coffee before, thought that
this hot drink would be a cure for the
plague. Schoedeli assured them that
through prayers aud the use of his
drink not only would the plague
be stopped, but also that if they
would unload their merchandise
they could make a good profit by it.
The owner of the ship was impressed
by this strange man, especially ns li«
found tbe coffee so palatable. Ou the
same day n large number of Arabs
entile to listen to the hermit’s preach¬
ing. aud among thorn were some mer¬
chants. who purchased all the goods on
the ship. The Indian visitor returned
home, and telling ids strange adven¬
ture and profitable trading, many of Ills
compatriots came to visit tiie saintly
Schoedeli.
A beautiful mosque was built over
Hie tomb of Schoedeli after hi* death,
and his name will never be fogotton as
long as Mocha coffee is drunk. Ail of
the Moslem coffee-housekeepers ven¬
erate him, mentioning his mane in
tlieir morning devotions. Travelers say
that In tho town of Moelia. or Celia, as
the Arabs call it. men take their oath,
not by God, but by the memory of
Schoedeli.
FiihIiIoii'k V'ttils and Fancies.
Colors in tailor-made suits are strong¬
est in browns, tans and grays.
The plain shirt waist in silk or flan¬
nel or velveteen will not be considered
smart this winter.
The fichu effects become more aud
more fashionable all the time.
lattice work will be n popular trim¬
ming, and fashionable both iu ribbon
and cord.
Tulle bonnets will be worn for dress
occasions, and tlieir only ornament
will be two large pins with fancy
heads.
Miniatures are always a sign of ele¬
gance. Brooch pins of fancy heads
surrounded by pearls or pearls aud
diamonds are oeasionally seen.
Word comes from Paris that toques
and hats will be built of the same
goods of which costumes are made
with which they are to lie worn.
Brown diamonds set with pure white
diamonds make a stunning combina¬
tion for brunettes when worn with
yellow gowns.
Passementerie, both in black and
colors, is perhaps a more fashionable
form of trimming than the application
of lace figures that hu» held sway so
long.
Anyone who is Buffering under the
Illusion tlmt trains are going out of
fashion, should have a peep at the ex¬
hibitions that are bring made to a se¬
lect few of. the late Imported models.
Close-fitting draped lints of velvet
are the fashion to wear with tailor
made gowns, they are invariably worn
over the face, and the velvet itself is
trimmed with stitched bands of silk.
Either a bird with shaded plumage
or an airy bnfwrfly trims such a lint.
ltedlugotes, with bos or tight fronts,
are actually sloped down from twelve
to fifteen inches or more ut the back,
and as to the gowns thamsalves they
will have a swirl aud dip that will
cause bad weather to be viewed in
the light not merely of a discomfort,
but iu actual calamity.
The rabbit pest in Australia lias
groa n to such proportions that many
farmers and sheep men are practically
ruined. All the efforts of science,
stimulated by the government’s stand¬
ing ofl<r of a big bonus, to cope with
the evil have proved fruitless, and
now many of the farmers have turned
rabbit hunters, with shipload after
shipload of the little rodents sent to
England for food. Conditions are so
favorable to rabbits in California and
Colorado that great hunts to exterm¬
inate the pest are already common.
Any tendency to promote rabbit
breeding in other sections should be
discouraged.
