GATES QUITS MARKET.
America' * Mont Spectacular Plunge *
Ilcflre.s from Wall Street.
John W. Gates , America's most spec
tacular financial plunger , lias resolved
to plunge no more. He lias gone out
of business. Wall street says John W.
Gates is "down and out , " that he has
"lost his nerve , " and is lleelug from the
scene of his disaster. Galv > s says he
liasn't time to "discuss funny dreams. "
His son , "Charley , " says that the head
of the house is just going to France for
F i year or so for a good time , and that
lie will return. A Chicago partner declares -
r clares that all the "broke" stories arc
-"plain rot ; ' ' "that the 'old man' got
cold feet and quit when the stack in
7 .front of him was high enough" using
< he vernacular that Mr. Gates uses
when he used to "hot a million. "
There is one fact in the conflicting
reports concerning the multi-millionaire
speculator. He has quit business. Wall
street knows that fact , for the formal
"JiQticc of the dissolution of the firm of

street rejoices over those facts. Wall
street insists that the father and son
are quitting losers in a sliding sum ol
from $10,000,000 to $40,000,000.
The notice of the dissolution of the
iirm of Charles G. Gates & Co. started
sill the reports about the financial decline -
cline of the family. That was the firm
through which the great plunger
traded , and it was brought into exist
ence to enable him to plunge as he
pleased. Sou "Charley" headed it , but
father was in reality the firm.
The so-called "rich man's panic" that
reached its climax Marcft 15 was de
clared to have been the cause of the
downfall of the Gateses. Consistent
bulls always , they are reported to have
been caught heavily in that terrible
.slump of stocks.
'The Pennsylvania House passed thi
bill placing 3 cents tax a ton on anthra
cite coal , it being argued that the burden
-would fall largely on consumers outside

Chairman Knapp of the interstate com-
Amerce commission announced its purpose
* o ask the Circuit Court at New York
to order E. H. Harriman to answer cer-
rtain questions concerning transfers and
sales of Union Pacific stock which he refused -
fused to answer recently when he was
Si witness before the commission. The
commission thus seeks to establish ita
eight to inquire into such transactions.
B. F. Yoakum , chairman of the Roci
Island system , in a newspaper interview
said that a railroad had no more business
so be at the mercy of stock jobbers than
A savings bank or a life insurance com
pany , and that American railroads should
lie as much a public trust as those institu
tions. He said the people were not without -
-out justification in their belief that the
railroads had been , systematically robbing
/hem , and that no one was to blame for
-.the present anti-railroad sentiment but
he managers themselves.
As an offset to the raise in grain rates
by the Union Pacific between Omaha and
Council Bluffs the Chicago Great West
ern railroad began hauling grain free
-from Council Bluffs into Omaha when
destined to elevators on the tracks of the
Chicago Great Western and charging only
.12 per car when destined to elevators on
-other tracks. The Union Pacific charges
. $ ; " per car for the same service. The
-Creat Western's action will have a far-
reaching effect on Iowa grain destined to
-Omaha and places the Omaha market on
A parity with the Chicago market.
Two more attempts have been made to
wreck trains on the Pennsylvania rail
road in western Pennsylvania and Ohio ,

--Terence of the vice presidents and vaifcous
.division officials to take extraordinary
-measures for the suppression of what is
.believed to be a desperate band of wrcck-
-ers. The detectives say that the motive

vengeance of discharged employes. A re
ward of $5,500 fov mfcjrmatioii leading to
the conviction and a much larger secret

CLASS RULE FATAL.
PRESIDENT GIVES WARNING AT
JAMESTOWN.
In Exposition Speech Say End of
Republic Will Come "When Gov
ernment IB In Hand * of Either
Plutocracy or 31 ob Instead of All.
President Roosevelt's speech at the
opening of. the tercentennial exposition
at Jamestown was an appeal to national
pride to preserve the republic by avoid
ing the fatal error of "class rule. "
"Other nations have fallen. ' he said ,
"because the citizens gradually grew to
consider the interests of a class before
the interests of the whole ; for when such
was the case it mattered little whether it
was the poor who plundered the rich or
the rich who expjoitcd the poor. In cith
er event the end of the republic was at
hand.
"We are resolute in our purpose not to
fall in such a pit. This great republic
of ours never shall become the govern
ment of a plutocracy and it never shall
become a government of the mob.
"God willing , it shall remain what our
fathers who founded it meant it to be , a
government where each man stands on
his worth as a man and where we strive
to give every man a fair chance to show
the stuff that is in him. "
Avoiding politics , in the accepted sense
o the word , he devoted his address to
history , reviewing the founding of the
nation , giving especial credit to the Eng
lish , but calling attention to the fact
that the blood of many peoples flows in
the veins of the typical American. He
then referred to our national problems ,
saying that the struggles in times of
peace are as great and as important as
those of war. The President spoke ixi
part as follows :
At the outset I wish to say a woi'd of
special greeting to the representatives of
the foreign governments here present. They
have come to assist us in celebrating what
\yas in very truth the birthday of this na
tion , for It was here that the colonists first
settled whose incoming , whose growth from
their own loins and by the action of new
comers from abroad was to make the people
ple which 169 years later assumed the sol
emn responsibility and weighty duties of
complete Independence.
In welcoming all of you I must say a
special word , first to the representatives of
the people of Great Britain and Ireland.
The fact that so many of our people , of
whom as It happens I myself am one , have
but a very small portion of English blood
In our veins , in no way alters the other
fact that this nation was founded by Eng
lishmen , by the Cavalier and Puritan.
Let us further greet all of you , the rep
resentatives of the people of Continental
Europe. From almost every nation of Eu
rope we have drawn some part of our
blood , some part of our traits.
Again , let me bid you welcome , repre
sentatives of our sister republics of this
continent. In the larger aspect , your in
terests and ours are identical. Your prob
lems and ours are in a large part the same ;
and as we strive to settle them , I pledge
you herewith on the part of this nation
the heartiest friendship and good will.
Finally , let me say a special word of
greeting to those representatives of the
Asiatic nations who make up that newest
East which is yet the most ancient East ,
the East of time immemorial. In particu
lar , let me express a'word of hearty wel
come to the representative of the mighty
Island empire of Japan , that empire which ,
In learning from the West , has shown that
it has so much , so very much to teach the
West in return.
First English Settlement.
We have met to-day to celebrate the openIng -
Ing of the exposition which itself commem
orates the first permanent settlement of
men of our stock In Virginia , the first be
ginning of what has since become this
mighty Republic. Three hundred years ago
a handful of English adventurers , who had
crossed the ocean in what we should call
cockle boats , as clumsy as they were frail ,
landed In the great wooded wilderness1 , the
Indian haunted waste , which then stretched
down to the water's edge along the entire
Atlantic coast.
Hitherto each generation among us had
Ita alloted task now heavier , now lighter.
In the Revolutionary War the business waste
to achieve independence. Immediately af
terward there was an even more moment
ous task that to achieve the national unity
and the capacity for orderly development ,
without which our liberty , our independ
ence would have been a curse and not a
blessing. In each of these two contests ,
while there' were many leaders from many
different States , it is but fair to say that
the foremost place was taken by the states
men of Virginia and to Virginia was re
served the honor of producing the hereof
of both movements the hero of the war ,
and of the peace which made good the
result of the war George Washington ;
while the two great political tendencies
of the time can be symbolized by the
names of two other great Virginians , Jef
ferson and Marshall , from one of whom

mocracy , and from the other the power
ADVICE THAT PAID.
Clergyman Who Fonnd the Agricul
tural Department Reliable.
A few years ago a clergyman -who had
Injured his health retired from the vine
yard of the Lord to 15 poor acres in
Pennsylvania. He knew absolutely noth
ing about farming. From the different
parts of his little field he sent samples of
soil to the Agricultural Department at
Washington and asked for guidance , and
he got it. The scientists were delighted
to encounter a man who had no inherited
agricultural prejudices to uproot. He
was ready to plow according to the rules
laid down in the pamphlets and to treat
his stock scientifically. The farm , be
cause of its good house , cost the preacher
$7,000. His own faith in the ability of
the Agricultural Department to make it
pay , and the friendliness of a parishioner ,
enabled him to get the place on credit.
He has conducted his crops with strict
fiedlity to instructions from Washington.
The result is that within a few years he
paid off the $7,000 mortgage , with inter
est , has an accumulating balance in the
bank , and is deriving from his 15 acres
an annual income of $2,000. The Depart
ment of Agriculture has published an ac
count of this preacher's remarkably suc
cessful experiment , describing his 15 acres
as a model American farm.
To Pay Women Teachers More.
The New York State Senate has pass
ed the teachers' salary bill , the object
ofwhich is to give the women the same
salaries as the men in New York City
schools. It is based upon the principle
that the position should determine the
salaries , and not the sex , but gives the
city board of education discretionary
powers so as not to violate the home-rule
principle. It provides for a minimum
salary of $720 , with fixed annual in
creases equal for both sexes.
SIGNIFICANT SENTENCES
BY THE PRESIDENT.
The world has moved so far that it is
no longer necessary to believe that one
nation can rise only by thrusting another
down.
This is an era of combination alike
in the world of capital and in the world
of labor. Each kind of combination can
do good ; and yet each , however powerful ,
must be opposed when it does ill.
The greatest problem before us is to
exercise such control ov r the business
use of vast wealth individual , but espe
cially corporate as will insure its not
being used against the interests of the
public , while yet permitting such ample
legitimate profits as will encourage indi
vidual initiative.
The wrongdoer , the man who swindles
and cheats , whether on a big scale or a
little one , shall receive at our hands
mercy as scant as if he committed crimes
of violence or brutality.
It is our business to put a stop to
abuses and to prevent their recurrence
without showing a spirit of viudictiveness
for what has been done in the past.
Quoting from Burke : "If -cannot
reform with equity , I will not reform at
all. There is a state to preserve as well
a ? ; a state to reform. " This is the exact
spirit in which this country should move
to the reform of abuses of corporate
wealth.
We are unalterably determined to pre
vent wrongdo.ing in the future ; we have
no intention of trying to wreak such in
discriminate vengeance for wrongs done
in the past as would confound the inno
cent with the guilty. Our purpose is to
build up rather than to tear down.
to develop on behalf of the people a co
herent and powerful movement , a genuine
and representative nationality.
Two generations passed before the second
end great crisis in our history had to be
faced. Then came the Civil War , terrible
and I'ltter in itself and In its aftermath ,
liufc a struggle from which the nation
finally emerged , united in fact as well as
name , united forever. Oh , my hearers , my
fellow countrymen , great indeed has been
our good fortune , for as time clears away
the mist that once shrouded brother from
brother and made each look "as through a
glass darkly" at the other , we can all feel
the same pride In the valor , the devotion
and the fealty , toward the right as it was
given to each to see the right , shown alike
by the men who wore the blue and by th
men who wore the gray.
"Prepare to Meet "War. "
We cannot afford to forget the maxim
that Washington insisted upon , that the
surest way to avert war is to be prepared
to meet it. Nevertheless the duties that
most concern us of this generation arc ? not
military but social and industrial. Each
community must always dread the evils
which spring up as attendant upon the
very qualities which give it success. We
of this mighty western Republic have to
grapple' with the dangers that spring from
popular self-government tried on a scale
incomparably vaster than ever before in the
history of mankind , and from an abounding
material prosperity greater also than any
thing which the world has hitherto seen.
At the moment , the greatest problem
before us is how to exercise such control
over the business use of vast wealth , in
dividual , but especially corporate , as will
insure it not being used against the inter
est of the public , while yet permitting
such ample legitimate profits as will en
courage individual initiative. It is our business -
nes-s to put a stop to abuses and to pre
vent their recurrence , without showing a
spirit of mere viudictiveness for what has
been done in the past.
This Is the exact spirit in which this
country should move to the reform of cor
porate wealth. The wrong-doer , the man
who swindles and cheats , whether on a big
scale or a little one , shall receive at our
hands mercy as scant as If he committed
crimes of violence or brutality. We are
unalterably determined to prevent wrong
doing in the future , but we have no inten
tion of trying to wreak such an Indiscrimi
nate vengeance for wrongs done In the past
as would confound the innocent with the
guilty. Our purpose is to build up rather
than to tear down. We show ourselves
the truest friends of property when we
make It evident that we will not tolerate
the abuses of property.
We are steadily bent on preserving the
institution of private property , we combat
every tendency towards reducing the people
ple to economic servitude , and we care
not whether the tendency is due to a sinis
ter agitation directed against all property ,
or whether it is due to the actions of those
members of the predatory classes whose
anti-social power Is immeasurably increased
because of the very fact that they possesa
wealth.
"Deeds Not Professions. "
We base our regard for each man on the
essentials , not the accident. We judge him
not by his professions , but by his deeds , by
his conduct , not by what he has acquired
of this world's goods. Other republics have
fallen because the citizens gradually grew
to consider the Interests of a class before
the interests of the whole , for when such
was the case it mattered little whether it
was the poor who plundered the rich or the
rich who exploited the poor ; In either event
the end of the republic was at hand.
We are resolute in our purpose not to
fall into such a pit. This great republic
of ours shall never become the government
of a mob.

Jolly Partica Help to Pass Away
Dreary Days 011 the Farm.
Ah , the happy winter quilting bees of
Berks County ! Can any one section of
the country surpass this iu the joys of
one of the most exacting and least re
munerative tasks ? asks -writer in the
New York Herald at Hereford , Pa. No
winter Is a winter in this part of the
country without Its quilting bees , where
the women's heads bob close over the
pretty silken patches and the labors
of love are transformed into active rec
reation.
The preliminary work of making the
bed quilt Is usually begun by the
grandmother or the school girl , the lat
ter of whom readilj * finds an hour of
leisure between her study hour and the
time she usually retires. The patches
for making these wonderful quilts and
bedspreads are of every description ,
and , first of all , they are cut to their
proper sixes some tiny , little pieces ,
often only half an inch square , others
In circles , stars and diamonds , and
many others according to the ideal
taste of the housewife , who may have
planned the patterns years before she
thrust the first needle through the
calico or silk. This flue work necessi
tates lots of sewing and it often takes
the entire family that is , the femi
nine members several winters'to pre
pare the patches before the coverlet
is ready for the quilting frame.
After all the tiny patches have been
'sewed ' together into strips the strips
are sewed together and the spread is
ready -to be stretched on the wooden
frame , where the tedious -work that
becomes such recreation begins.
The work of quilting a spread takes
many days , if only a few women do It
at the farmhouse. So the summons
goes around from house to house that
a "quilting" is to take place at a cer
tain neighbor's all day Saturday.
Bright and early they make their way
to the place , each equipped with a
thimble. The mistress of the house
furnishes them with neadles and thread
and they sit around the spread on four
sides and work toward each other.
Usually the number Is only limited to
the outside space that can be occu
pied , and when the -work draws to the
center of the spread only half the num
ber that started can work. The other
half -will not then be idle , as the mis
tress has always another job of simi
lar nature on hand.
It often occurs that half a dozen
spreads are completed at one farm
house in a single winter , for the quilt
ing party is to the women what the
fox chase is to the men of the farm.
The ladies usually have a very good
time , as it occurs at aa opportune sea
son , when the farmhouse larder is filled
with sausages , fresh meat , scrapple and
mincemeat Hence they have lots of
goodies to eat ; and , with the fancy
cakes and the sweet cider , why
shouldn't they be happy ?
Nearly every farm wife has a dif
ferent -way of how to make her spread ;
and thus -we find the "rainbow" quilt ,
"star" or a "log cabin" pattern , "crazy
patch" and "pavement" designs and ,
finally , the "Jacob's ladder outline , "
prettiest of them all. In all these pat
terns the color work has to harmonize.
Throughout the winter season such
events occur every week at one or the
other of the farmhouses and the \vork
IB part of the social life of the coun
tryside.
Another pastime which affords lots
of amusement is the carpet-rag party
holding forth during the winter months
among rural folks. All the old rags
that accumulate and -worn-out dresses ,
trousers' and linens are cut into nar
row strips and sewed together by the
young -women , who gather at an even-
Ing's sewing party , while their young
man friends sit to the rear and twist
the "love strings" upon balls weighing
a pound or two ; and , when the evening
work is done , they all join in the dance
for several hours , to the music doled
blasts. Victims met death in fearful forms. Many were
blown to pieces and their limbs flung high In the air ,
others were poisoned by deadly gas fumes , others were
crushed against the Bide of the vessel by the expanding-
gases. The ship , costing $6,500,000 , was split like a paper
box.
out by an old-time fiddler : and , -when
the dance is over , each maiden is es
corted home by her "best fellow , " and
you would imagine that the joy of the
evening was over ; but It isn't , for there
are always hopes that the -week fol
lowing will always be just as happy a

A BLOW ON THE HEAT ) . |
What effect a blow on the head may
have upon the one who receives it , no
man can predict Stories have been
written , the turning-point of which was
the recovery of memory lost by such
a blow. In more recent tkues instances
have come to light through modern
psychological treatment in which per
sonality was apparently quite changed
by a blow on the head. Many a back
ward schoolboy , even when apparently
eager to do criminal things , has been
found to be suffering from the effect of
such a shock received years 'before , and
to be curable by surgery.
Seldom is such a story more thrilling
than the true one which changed the
life of a young writer who died recent
ly in a Western city.
From his earliest boyhood he had
been incorrigible. He began running
away from home before he was three
years old , and as soon as he was of
school age became a terror to his teach
er. He stole from his mother , led oth
er boys astray , and by his misadven
tures and his habit of going on long
journeys with the roughest of tramps ,
kept his mother on the verge of nervous
prostration.
Every imaginable plea was tried in
vain with him. He made promises only
to break them. He seemed unable to
resist the mad impulse to vagabondage
which impelled him. Several times his
parents had him examined for sanity ,
and the verdict of the alienists was
that there was some cause of mental
disturbance which they could not de
termine. The police of many States
came to know hiaa.
At last his behavior so wore on his
mother that she was driven to Europe
in order that she might rest for a time ,
out of hearing of his adventures. Even
iu Europe , however , she was not free
from him , lor , tramping through the
continent , he encountered her in a pub
lic park. No one could have been more
disreputable In appearance than the
tramp who thus confronted her , but the
mother's heart went out to him , and
she persuaded him to remain a little
while.
"At least , " she said , "if you must do
this way , let me provide you with mon
ey. Let me hear from , you once in a
while. Let me know you are safe and
well. "
All this he promised to do , and kav-
ing a desire to see South America ,
went with her consent to England to
embark on a sailing vessel for a tramp
through that continent As they lay at
anchor in the harbor mouth waiting
or clearer weather , a fellow passenger
and he stood in the bow , looking out
into the fog.
Suddenly , without warning , a huge
steamship crashed into them , and cut
far Into the sailing ship's wooden hull.
Spars fell from aloft , and the fellow
passenger was instantly killed. The
American was picked up unconscious ,
with a jagged wound in his head where
a spar had struck him.
He lay unconscious in the hospital
for a long time , tenderly nursed by his
mother , and then passed through a
stage of brain fever. But when the ill
ness was over and he was rational and
conscious again * a change had been
wrought Something had been altered
in his brain , and all the passion for
vagabondage had left him. He cared
for tramping no longer.
"I only want to go to work to turn
my knowledge of the tramp's world to
account , " he said , "so that I may pre
vent as many other boys as possible *
from going the terrible road I went , "
To that end he long devoted himself. *
He wrote many stories of tramping
days , but through them all ran the not *
of sorrow that so many years of his !
life had been lost in disreputable wan

Canned 'Day ' to BanlMh the Night oS
the Dark : Agren.
Life is a rose that withers in the
iron fist of dogma ; it was France that
forced open the deadly fingers of the
ecclesiastic and allowed the rose to
bloom again , and France is In the
world's van to-day in her repudiation ,
of the deadly doctrine that some
Bedouin tribes invented in the desert
long ago , that life is a mean and con
temptible thing and that renunciation :
of life Is the greatest virtue. The dusk
of the gods thickened in the temples
and about the holy shrines where life
was praised in joyous procession. Cen
tury passed over century , and art was
silent ; the beautiful limbs of the lover
and the athlete were forbidden to the
sculptor and the meager things of dy
ing saints were offered him instead.
Literature died , for literature can but
praise life. Music died , for music can
but praise life , and the lugubrious
"Dies Irae" was heard .in the fanes.
What use had a world for art when
the creed current among men was that
life Is a mean and miserable thing , and .
amid lugubrious chant and solemn pro
cession the dusk thickened until the
moment of deepest night was reached
in the ninth and the tenth and the elev
enth centuries. In the fifteenth century
the dawn began in Italy , and sculptors
and painters turned their eyes toward
Greece. Donatello and Michael Angelo
replaced Praxiteles and Phidias. But
day follows night , as surely as night
follows day ; the light that began la
Italy in the fifteenth century has been
widening ever since , veil after veil has
