RIOTING IN STR IT Three Hoys Were Slio( and Probably Fatally Wounded and Several j I Other People Were More or Less Seriously Injured in Fights About the City. Three hoys were shot and probably fatally wounded, while several received less severe wounds Tuesday in riots which followed the resumption of service by the Rapid Transit company. The shooting occurred in attacks on cars in the northeastern section. Market street, the principal business thoroughfare in the heart of tlie city, was the scene of disturbances during the entire day. Cars were stoned and two policemen were roughly handled by a mob of sev- j eral thousand persons. A dozen arrests were made and the prisoners placed in a trolley car. This was stormed and two of the prisoners escaped. President Murphy of the Central V Labor Union still regards a general 8iriKo oi an iraue unions in inu cuy t "J as inevitable, although Organizer Pratt is reported to be opposing this move. A delegation of labor lead-! era left for Washington Tuesday to ask Senator Penrose to use his in-; fluence for a peacable solution of the trouble. Members of the State Fenslbles, 1 an independent military organization of about 200 members, were placed on duty Tuesday night, armed with; loaded muskets. They were detailed in the Kingsington mill district in the northeast, which is a hotbed of . _> union sympathizers. In their first skirmish they were j badly beaten by the mob, who paid no attention to the drawn bayonets and snatched the muskets from the hands of the young militiamen.. Members of the State Keneitiles, 1 according to Mayor Iteyburn, acting as though they were on a picnic, allowing girls in the mill district to wear their caps and cut the brass button off their clothing. At one point a group of rioters captured a member of the Fencihles and car-; ried him several hundred feet from his post, where they stripped him ; of his coat, hat, cartridge belt atul gun and threw him into a sower. A nonunion conductor was badly 1 hurt at Sixth and Market street late | Tuesday afternoon when a crowd at-j tacked his ear after a boy had pull- 1 e<i tne tron< y poie rroni tlx1 teeu wire.. Policemen drove back the crowd at the point of revolvers and started the car. It had gone but a short distance when a heavy iron weight, thrown from a window, A. crashed through the roof of the vehicle. Fifteen policemen quartered in the barn of the Philadelphia Rapid trail-' sit company at Ridge avenue and J York street narrowly escaped death | when the entire northwest corner of the building was blown away with dynamite. The explosion occurred just as C. O. Pratt was about to address a meeting of car men at a hall at Ridge avenue and Dauphin y*- streets. This building, as well as others N in tho vicinity, was shaken by the shock. How the dynamite was placed in the car barn is a mystery. | Tho State Fenclbles, after being i harrassed and beaten all day by a I mob of thousands of strike breakers along Lehigh avenue, wore withdrawn at nightfall. Tho militia had been powerless against the mob, but a half dozen mounted police had ridden up and down driving the rioters before them during tho afternoon. Only two cars were run on this line during the afternoon, and ^Grapes? elicious, healthful? the most valuable ingre, the active principle, to snrcs wholesome and ellcions food) for every A ?kay in every home ^teJNO ALUM both w?re badly shattered by stones.

This enraged the guardians of the peace and they returned the fire, hitting \Y. 10. Collins in the groin. He was removed to the lOpiscopal hospital. r> X10W Iiorsu I'l'I5MTI* 1110 Itesolu(ion Passed Provides for Some Needed I niproveinent s.

Hughes on (lie Young Mens Christian Assoeint ion's Platform ami Service. Wo are hor today upon a platform upon w hi oh all good citizens can stand because there is a knowledge in t'ais association and In any gathering of American citizens that character is til" basis of industry, the surety of the endurance of the Kepuldic. What a nobio thing ii is to see a man well equipped for life's work, not a narrow-mhi.'oa m-m one* who tri s to shit ',1 himself from all pleasures of life that go to make well rounded and sy'inmet i leal character, but a young man who realizes that he is here in the world to do something and before he can do something worth while, he must be something worth while. What a noble thing it is to see in a democratic community, with the development of the capacity for work, which tend to interfere with proper enforcement of legislative work, to S"" at the same time the soundness of the views of our people on what stands for decency and for justice. We honor every organization which attempts to keep men up to the responsibility of their obligations, which "attempts to make clear the duty that Is placed upon them its free citizens of this republic. IOvery one of us knows bow soon is the relapse if we are not held steadfast to our ideals by social sentiment. It is a remarkable thing that the Young Mens Christian Association has been so successful in providing so many different fields of activity for young men. lOducational, or physical improvement, social, religious; it seems to comprehend about everything that a young man needs. I heard, some years ago, a distinguished educational expert say that the object of a liberal education was the wise conduct of business and the noble employment of leisure That seems to be the object of this association; fitting men to play their part in life with ability, providing them resources for the noble employment of leisure, and giving them proper notions of how life shold be spent. We have had a good deal of overemphasis in the past on what has been called success. The young America has started out fired with ambition .as he litis frequently read of the adventures of those who have proceeded him to obtain what he calls success; and too frequently, that goal litis been defined in terms of accumulation of material benfits and of prominent position. In these days, I think, we are taking a truer view of life. It is a splendid sight to see the young man of today jioing forth to make the most of himself, not for himself alone, but for the benefit of his fellow men. There never was a time in our history when mere wealth gave i;s posessor so few advantages as it does today, in the opinion of h'< fellows. There never was .a time when mere place or office, mere title to distinction, gave a man so li le as it does today . The attention of the country is riv eted upon worth rather than u(.-on (position, upon die means by whhh an end has been attained tutu upon | accumulation. That is a most wholrj some thing. There has been a moral r-x'vah a sharpening of the sense of justice, a clearer view of the man's obligation to those around him, a trurer perception of the limits which a man | should set for himself in the pursuit of his ambition, a quiet deter ' initiation on the part of the people I at large that 110 man shall overstep those limits and be faithless to his obligation to the community as a whole and at the same time e itoy the public respect. There is nothing in this country that is worth having which Involves any forfeiture of that self-respect which conditions till true results and every real achievement. ( ii-l Drinks Acid.

Only a few years ago the absorb1 r. g n nest ion with the common tanner south anil west, was "Mow shall I make buckle ami tongue meet in providing for my family?" The thought of putting a dollar away was not entertained for a moment. The tight was for broad anil a scanty variety of food to go with it to meet i he dailly hunger of the family, and a few plain clothes?in most in sianct s not enough lor comfort. All week long the old fanner and his children could be seen with their simple implements of agriculture bending between the rows early an 1 late working with little heart and hope; and on Sunday, the father, a gaunt, shrunken, neglected looking figure could be seen dejectedly I Manding about over his mortgaged lb-Ids, trying to discover some faint whisper from old mother earth, beneath his feet, or the sunny seasons that came and went above his| head. Little encouragement did he] find only that nature was his J friend. The fields would and did respond liberally to the touch of his hand, but his crops often sold for less than it cost to produce them, and by the time the interest on the mortgage was paid, little was left with which to buy calico and cottonados to scantily clothe his family. Hut that scene is ehang *d, and fast changing. Kate seemed to hold these noble sons of toil to their fields, and some good spirit, began to whisper the secret of more intelligent methods and plans of cul livation and market, and a recognition of mutual Interests, until out of that chaotic condition of abject slavery has come a new world of I auty and happiness. Our farmers are now fast becoming the mos4t prosperous men in the nation. Their mortgages have been paid, their homes have been built, and liberally supplied with utensils of eoni ..iiwiiw.n I . .u i <11 j f ii rn i 1?i > /1 w i I h I lin products of skill and art until they arc attractive, beautiful and inviting. The inmates have thrown off the scanty garbs of mere necessity, ' and are now clad with comf 'Vb and 1 are happy. The dejected icok on the face of the father has given place to a broad smile of victory, and he steps about his little kingdom with the tread of a conqueror and with a little bank account to his credit, he smiles when he meets his old mortgagee. What has been the secret of this wonderful change in only a decade et time? The only answer is, ' Industry, Intelligence and Frugality." Out of these virtues have grown improved implements and methods, agricultural education and enlightenment, and an organized husbandry. that has elevated the vocation to distinction, honor and power. Today there Is no direction In ( which our young men can turn their attention with larger promise than tne rarm. me industry is now nutated upon stable foundations, and it has came to abide. No happier homes are to be found than our good country homes, and no men are more highly honored and re> si ected than the sturdy tillers of , the soil, and no people enjoy more j liberty. t * "Downward" He vision."

On February I. it was worth $210,000,000; today it is quoted at $4 50,000,000. This fact shows, how "hard the trust was hit." Another fact worth noting Is that since the "downward" revision of the tariff began, the average price of commodities has risen S per cent., ijnd the work of "protection" combinations has hardly commenced. The rise in wages has been so slight as
