FRIDAY, JULY 29, 1910 A STRANGE WORLD "Henry Jirncst, nn aged cripple. who tried to end his life Monday night by leaping into the river from the Uurnsidc bridge, was convicted of disorderly conduct yesterday before Municipal Judge Hemiett, and was sentenced to ten days on the rock pile. Krncst has been earning a precarious living by sell ing shoestrings 011 the street cor ners. He became weary of the work on Monday and tried to cud it for all time. The men of the United States gunboat Yorktown dragged him from the river before lie was seriously injured." The alxvc extract taken from n Portland daily pa)cr Inst week would lead one to believe that the milk of human kindness had de parted from that city, yet thou sands of dollars have been raised to assist a young actress who was un fortunate enough to have her two legs amputated owing to her being run down by n railroad train, which nlso proves the people of Portland and vicinity arc generous enough in some instances. On one hand wc have an old mnti, crippled, try ing to ckc out a miserable existence by selling shoe strings, rather than go to a county home. I)ccoiulng discouraged and despondent he tries to put an end to his life. Upon being rescued, he is sentenced to ten days 011 the rock pile by an un feeling judge. Whnt nn inspiring picture it must make to sec this poor old cripple pathetically at tempting to do a day's work at pounding rock. Shouldn't we be proud of such a judge who would sentence a man in this condition to the rock pile nud the community that would permit such an outrage to be perpetrated? If he should be punished nt nil, why not send him to jail, where he would be fed and housed nud given n chance to rest up for a short period nt least, On the other hand wc linvc nil actress, beautiful, youthful and charming. Unfortunate, it is true, yet she has a husband living and Want the Lid Put on. A petition was presented to the city council Tuesday night praying that moving picture shows, poof rooms and card rooms be ordered closed on Stiudays. The petition averred that these places were run for gain, were demoralizing and n desecration of the day. The mat ter was referred to the license com mittee, and what disposition will be mr.de of it remains to be seen. The friends qf these establishments claim that the petition is discrimi nating In its character, and there fore, cannot be granted. Cigar stands, drug stores, ice cream and confectionery stores, and even the contribution box on Sundays, they say, arc being run for gaiu, and that if one place is closed, by the same token all places should receive like treatment. The church cle ment, by which the petition was signed, claim that the resorts men tioned interfere with attendance at divine worship, and attract the younger folks away. Whereas, if these places were closed they be lieve the youth would be more sus ceptible to religious influence. It 11U depends on the angle from which otic views the situation, and whether closing would have the effect the church clement expects and hopes It would have is a mooted question, The patrons of the show and pool room claim they will not be driven into church by this method, while the church members believe they can be led in that direction if temptation to go to these places is removed. It is up to the license committee to settle the problem. The Commercial club held a live ly little meeting Wednesday even ing. What was lacking in num bers was made tip in optimism and good cheer. A committee of three consisting of 1'. Wolcott, Peter Atit7.cn and I. II. Kdlclscn was np ointcd to confer with the county commissioners to get a line on whnt they would do regarding a free ferry at St. Johns. Other matters of importance received attention. Miss Kdlth Moc of this city was united in marriage with Thomas Oillmorc of Vancouver, Wash., nt Astoria last week. The newly mnr ried pair nrc now guests nt the home of Mrs. Gillmorc's fnthcr, W. 0. Moc 011 Richmond street. The bride has lor several years been n faithful "hello" girl nt the central office here, and Is txsse.sscd of many friends, who wish her un bounded happiness in her new relation.

The sympathy and generosity 0f tt large city arc showered upon her, from which we do not desire to de tract. It is right that this should be, ami we ure glad it is so. Hut at the same time .should not the sympathy and generosity same city be extended to the oor old cripple, ploddiug along without a ray of hope or encouragement, weary of life ami carrying a burden almost greater than he can bear? On one hund we have a city joitr ing out its generosity uou an un fortunate, but popular and clever young uctrcss. On the other hand the same city permitting a poor old cripple to be consigned to the tock pile without a helping hund, a cheering word or n crumb of com fort Iteing extended toward him. Surely there is something wrong. We give thousands of doltors to foreign missions arid believe we have done our duty. Yet time and again, right at our own doors, are poor cripples and worn out ami dis. couraged individuals beintr turned away without assistance or without a kind word. What a truly chris tian world this is, how cold and unfeeling. Yet we like to tell of what Portland has douc for an uu fortuuate young lady in her hour of misfortune, while the poor, dis couraged' old cripple is feebly pounding away at the rock pile, Alice Lougworth is making quite a name for herself as a cigarette fiend, aud many of the geutler sex are deploriug her pernicious habit. Mrs. Lougworth has been iu the limelight for so long that she is loath to leave it, and iu order to keep there she is even willing to smoke cigarettes in public. Her example iu this respect will not likely beemulated to any great de gree, despite the fears of a number of agitated ladies who are just now making a great "fuss" over this Irregularity of Teddy's daughter, A Family Picnic About 35 people of St. John ar.il Tort laud chartered the Argosy uml with their children hied t the city dock Sunday last, Mini boarded that staunch little erult for n trip down the river.
