observes the Washington Star.
Criminals are very expensive members
of the community. They cost the
people of the country about $1,000,000.000
a year. If their increase could be
prevented it would be a paying investment
to give each cf the 250,000
accepted criminals a monthly pension |
of $300, on the condition that he take j
a life vacation from the strenuous do* J
mauds of kin profession.
Before 1SC3 there had been no rub- |
ber plant in; in Nicaragua beyond a ;
few fruitless experiments on the At- '
iantic ccart of Nicaragua. In 1898 the j
work began on what may be called a
large scale, and each year since the
number of planters has increased. It
is safe to say that in this vicinity
450.000 in gold value is now being expended
yearly in growing rubber ex- j

The St. Louis Republic remarks that
Emperor William of G'.-imany will unquestionably
be amply repaid in prac- j
tical knowledge for the close and ;
searching study of American naval .Ue- :
relopments to which he is now devot- j
1ng to mu 'h of his time and august j
attention, in all probability the Ger- |
man kaiser is witnessing the building j
of the greatest navy yet kuown in the !
world's history. The supreme teach- j
of^-tfrkl pontics is that the pres- I
tige of a nation depends upon that !
nation's sea power.
A year ago a philanthropic Farisian j
matron of wealth and position hap- j
pc-ncd to discover a nurse girl in one
of the public parks whose inexperience
brought her into sore distress in
the care of her infant charge. After
relieving the girl, this philanthropic j
woman conceived the idea of estab- j
iiehing a school for servant girls. The !
|
institution was started and is now in
n flourishing condition. Girls are
taught washing, dressing and properly
handling a life-size porcelain infant
and all sorts of domestic work, and
-when armed with credentials of efficiency
from the institution, are eagerly
employed by housekeepers. It is said
tnat not a complaint from the mistresses
who have given the graduates j
employment lias yet been lodged with {
the management Practical philan- j
thropy of this ^in(' i8 always valuable. I
as in teaching the recipient of its
favors how to oare for othors it teaches

The economical value, of large
schooners in the coasting trade is
figured out by a Boston general marine
agent as follows. The first
schooner on the list cost 572,960, had
* gross tonnage of 1904. and carrying
capacity of 2,000 tons. She made
twelve voyages In 512 days, and as a
result paid dividends amounting to
3S.8 i>er cent, of her cost. The average
of a fleet of two four-masters and
two five-masters was a yearly profit
of 27.5 per cent, on the investment;
with average net earnings of 42.9 per
cent, of the gross receipts and 18.9
per cent, of the total cost of the vessels
paid in one year.

THE LEGISLATURE. !
The State Lawmakers Meet and Get
to Work.
HOUSE.
Sixth Day?There was no great proportion
of the members of the house
nwc.int whpii the hf>dv beaan the sec
ond week's work. Yet a very good day's
work was done. The feature was the
discussion of the Schley resolution offered
by Mr. W. J. Johnson of Fairfield.
The first matter to claim the attention
of the house was the bill of Mr.
Bivens relative to the sale of cotton in
Dorchester county, but final action was
postponed. Mr. Patterson's bill to provide
for the settlement of claims
against countfcs prior to the creation cf
new counties was the next matter taken ,
up. There was no objection to the bill
and it was ordered to its third reading
as follows:
Section 1. That in all cases where a
new county has been, or shall be, created
out of the territory of another (
county, under the provisions of the ;
present constitution, the territory embraced
in the new oounty shall be 15- ;
able for its proportionate share, hav-1
ing reference to the assessed value or
its nronerty for taxation at the time .
of the creation of the new county, of
ail liabilities and claims which had
then accurea against the old county out
of whose territory the new county s-ha.lt ,
have been, or shall be. created. That J
such claims shall have been, or shall1
be. first paid by the old county against j
which they accrued, or shall accrue: !
which county shall recover of the new
county embracing the territory taken |
from the old county its proportionate ;
share of such payments in an action !
1 nthe court of common pleas, which ;
action shall he heard and determined '
by the court, without a jury, as equir- j
able actions arc tried.
All of the bills down for third read- ;
ing went through without objection, j
They were: Beamguard's bill relating
to settlement of freight shortage; C. E.1
Robinson's bill to amend an act entitled
"an act providing for the punishment
of privy stealing from the person."
so as to include In its provisions
larceny or stealing by day or by night j
from any home by any other person '
than the occupant or tenant of such j
home; Llde'8 bill to prohibit cars being
left within 50 yards of any public cross-1

up. and Mr. Bucker defended the rneas-,
ure.
A number of new bills were pre-.
sented.
Seventh Pay?The house of reprcs-.ntalives
spent the day in desulto'-y legislation.
There was a session of half an
hour before the convening of the joint;
assembly, and when the joint assembly
adjourned there was a session of about
an hour. There were a great many blll3
reported by Committees and several

schools.
Eighth Day?The house met at M
o'clock and spent nearly two hours
discussing the redistrlctlong bills. The j
debate started off in a matter of fact J
way, but was still under discussion and '
In a very spirted manner when the i
house adjourned. The discusion on tne j
motion to refer all re-districting bille
to the committee on privileges and;
elections was very spirited and border- I
ed on personalities. A number of ira- j
portant bills were introduced.
Ninth Day-fT.he McGowan bill to rearrange
the Jbongresslooal districts o<
the State passed second reading in the
House and is reasonably sure of enactment
