Degrees of Honesty.
There may, in fact, be only one de
cree of honesty, but man's own im
perfections make him recognize sev
eral. There is no doubt about the
honesty of another, but between the
two there areothers partakingof the
characteristic of both, and these are
regarded as degrees of honesty ac
cording to their approach to one or
the other standard. A merchant of
high standing was describing a trans
action in which a contractor bought
for his principal a much larger quan
tity of a certain material than he
required for the work on hand. He
did this to secure an extra dis
count. He took the surplus for his
own use, giving credit for it at its
actual cost. This was described as
being an extremely honest act,
"for," said the merchant, "he could
have taken the surplus over to him
self as waste and no one could have
charged him with dishonesty."
This is a recognition of grades in
honesty. The argument is that the
principal would have lost nothing by
the second transaction. The greater
discount allowed on the larger pur
chase, together with the allowance
for "scrap," would about balance
the extra cost, so that the contractor
would gain something and the prin
cipal lose nothing, comparison being
made with the cost of the right quan
tity at the higher price. The fact
that a merchant of unimpeachable
reputation recognized degrees of
honesty, and was prepared with ex
cuses fcr what are called "sharp
practices," is the point to be observ
ed. As a rule, it is not safe to in
dulge in any fine-spun theories on
the subject of honesty. It is best to
be on the safe side and have all of
one's transactions unqualifiedly hon
est, or of the first degree of honesty
if degrees are to be recognized. When
men begin to argue with themselves
how near they can go to the line di
viding honesty from dishonesty they
are in great danger ot going over on
the wrong side.
That is what occurs in very many
cases of defalcation and embezzle
ment. The cashier or clerk begins
by "borrowing" small sums that he
intends to return and is quite capa
ble of returning. No trouble ensues.
Then he borrows larger sums, is
tempted to speculate or gamble, and
Cads himself unable to refund the
money, lie nas oegun mis sjsieui
of embezzlement by comforting his
conscience with the use of the term
"borrowing" to discribe the trans
action, overlooking the fact that he
has not asked permission of the own
er of the funds to borrow. This is
the essential fault of the transaction
which gives it the character of an
embezzlement. There are many de
grees in this transaction, but not de
grees of honesty. He may leave
memoranda in his cash drawer de
scribing his use of the money, aud
one would hesitate to charge him with
dishonesty under such circumstances.
He may enter the amount in a pri
vate memorandum book or keep it in
the books of the firm or conceal it
by false entries, and according to his
methods his offense is judged. But
the only safe way of maintaining the
first degree of honesty is to avoid
altogether any equivocal transaction
of this kind.
If borrowing is to be done it should
be with the knowledge and consent
of the employer, or under gentle
authority conferred by the employer,
and not abused. It is dangerous to
harbor thoughts of degrees of hon
esty and dishonesty, for the lines
between them are shadowy, ana,
under temptation, the petty borrow
ing may develop into formidable em
bezzlement. Sometime.also.the moral
sense becomes so uiuui uy
arguments intended to excuse the
crhne that the culprit really feels
that he is the victim of abuse or bad
fortune if detected at a time when
he cannot make good the defalcation.
This condition of mind can always
be traced to confusion of right and
wrontr. due to a nice consideration
nf decrees of honesty. The young
.v, Wet, should start out with
the idea that there is one very high
ideal of honesty.

ARP LOVES OltrilASS.
His Mother Fatherless and Motherless
At the Age of Seven Years.
Ninety-nine years ago to-day Rob
ert Emmet was executed for high
treason. I wonder how many of the
old school boys have spoken his
speech his beautiful speech in de
fense of himself and his companions
for the Irish rebellion, and their at
tempt to seize the arsenal and the
arms in Dublin and set Ireland free.
I wonder how many of the modern
school boys ever heard of Emmet,
one of the noblest, purest and most
eloquent patriots in all history. It
took a smart boy, a gifted boy, a
good, kind hearted boy, to speak that
speech with feeling and pathos. Chan
Holt could do it, and he was the only
one of our set who could make the
turkey bumps rise on our spines and
our hearts go pity-pat as he stretched
himself a little higher and exclaimed:
"Let no man write my epitaph. Un
til Ireland is free, let not my epitaph
be written." He had been already
tried and convicted, and when the
stern old chief justice asked him if
he had anything to say why sentence
of death should not be pronounced,
he made this speech. The judge
could not conceal his emotion, and
all the court was in tears.
Robert Emmet was a very great
man. Although but 22 years old at
his death, he was the peer and com
panion of Curran, G rattan and Phil
ips, and the friend and college mate
of Thomas Aloore, the poet. "When
executed he was engaged to Curran 's
daughter, the beautiful Sarah, and
Tom Moore has written a charming
poem about their sad and broken
hearted destiny. Had it not been for
Sarah and his love, Emmet would not
had been tried, for he aud his fellow-
patriots, who were the leaders in the
rebellion of 17!'8, had already escap
ed, most of them to America, but
Emmet lingered for Sarah's sake and
was arrested and tried for treason.
Among those rebels who escaped
to America was a young man named
Maguire, who landed at Charleston
and settled there. He had some
means, and began business as a linen
merchant, and prospered. Not long
after this he married an orphan girl,
the daughter of a sea captain, and
they lived happily together. Two
children were born to them, James
and Caroline. No children ever had
more loving parents, co parents ever
had more loving and lovely children,
and for years there was no forebod
ing of any calamity or atlliction that
could or would befall them. .
But now, as next Saturday is Or
phans' Day, my ruminations that
began with Robert Emmet have,
without design, brought my thoughts
along down to this Maguire, who was
one of his friends and compatriots.
I wish to tell the young people a little
story about what happened to James
and Caroline, it may reau like a
romance, but it is all fact. The story
will fit the day that is to come, the
5th, and it will fit the orphans at the
Home, near Decatur, and those at
Clinton, in South Carolina, and those
anywhere and everywhere, for it is a
fact that 10 per cent, of all the chil
dren under 12 years of age are either
fatherless or motherless. Orphans
are the wards of the nation, and are
iuch entitled to our care and
maintenance as are the blind and the
deaf. Charity to helpless, friendless
children is one thing we can all agree
upon. We may differ irr politics and
religion, but charity is a universal
sentiment.
The man who loves his fellow-men
and sympathizes with them in their
distress is forgiven for his faults, for
charity hideth a multitude of sins.
A man may gamble or cheat or drink
or lie, but if he is good to the poor
and friendless it balances the scales.
It is a Dutch story that Jacob Snyder
kept a mill. When he died and
knocked at St. Peter's gate for ad
mission, the good saint said, "Jacob,
ou did keep a mill down in the lower
vorld, and you did sometimes take
too much toll thee cannot come in.
'Ah ! good saint, dot is true," said
Jacob. "Sometimes ven ue vater vas
low and de stones vas dull, I did take
a little too much toll, but I always
gave it to de poor." The good saint
pondered and ruminated long, but
finally said, "Jacob, Jacob, 1 viu let
you in, but it do strain the gate."
In the summer of 181j the yellow
fever, that awful scourge, visiieu
Charleston, and in a week's time had
swept the people away by thousands.
It was several days before the panic
became universal, and then all who
could go fled in terror ; but in hun
dreds of families one or more were
taken and could not leave. Maguire
and his wife were taken the same
day. They lived but twenty-four hours
and were buried by night in the same
grave. The little boy of 0 years was
hurried away by a kind-hearted man,
and the little girl of 7 by another.
Just then the order came from the
board of physicians to remove all the
children immediately, and James was
hurried on a schooner bound for bos
ton and Caroline on another bound
for Savannah. They did not meet nor
kiss a sad farewell, nor knew of each
other's fate nor where they were go
ing. What grief was theirs ! What
briny tears! Bereft! Bereft! that
vJWjUkrl 111 f- I !. : I H II KN I 1 A Y If Wt I 1 h. I 1UH1 ATvt VTf t-v
is the word, for it means snatched
away. Yes, I knew something about
these orpans, for this same Caroline
was my mother, and many a time
have I sat at her knee and listened
and wept over the sad story of her
orphanage. How in a day she lost
her parents .and her brother, and
was left alone without a relative this
side of the sea.
She was placed in the orphan asy
lum in Savannah and was cared for
by good people until she was 10 years
old, when one day a good lady came
in a fine carriage to choose and adopt
a child. The orphans were all clad
in their best garments and gathered
in the great, big company room, and
after they were seated the grand lady
went round and round talking kindly
to one and another, and after long
inspection stopped at Caroline and
said, "I will take this one." The
poor girl was alarmed and cried with
grief at being separated from those
she had learned to love. The great
lady was the mother of Rev. Dr.
Goulding and the grandmother of
Frank Goulding, who wrote the pret
ty story of "Young Marooners." In
the meantime Caroline's brother had
been placed in an orphaus' asylum in
Boston, and after two years he was
taken home by a wealthy gentleman
of Randolph, who had an only daugh
ter and no son. This daughter James
married when he was 21, and they
received the old man's blessing and
a good estate. In vain, and in vain,
had James visited Charleston to find
some clue to his lost sister, and sadly
he returned and mourned her as dead.
Caroline was sent to school at old
Midway, in Liberty county, where
she made good progress in her stu
dies. Her teacher took great inter
est in her aud kindly visited Charles
ton and advertised in the city papers
for her brother, but learned nothing.
When Caroline was 13 her teacher
became so deeply grieved over her
sad and lonely fate that he married
and here I am. Again he advertised
in several papers and at last in a
Boston paper, and said in good, large
type, If James Maguire, who pa
rents died of yellow fever in Charles
ton, S. C, in 1815, is living he can
find his sister, Caroline, by address
ing the undersigned." lie saw it.
A friend handed it to him in church
one Sunday and there was a scene.
He came to Georgia by the first ves
sel that was bound for Savannah.
From there be came to Lawrence-
ville, where my father was then liv
ing. I was then but 7 years old, but
I remember the meeting and no pen
can describe it. The young people
must imagine the rest.
When last in Savannah I visited
the very ground and reverently look
ed upon the place that gave to my
mother a welcome and a home. If I
am anything that is worthy, I owe it
chiefly to my mother and she owed
all that she was to an orphanage.
Friends, do not forget the day nor
the deed that should be done. It will
pay in the long run. Maybe it will
open St. Peters gate to some "who
have taken a leetie too much toll.
Forty times are the fatherless men
tioned in the Bible. The word moth
erless is not there, but the word
fatherless includes all orphans in the
translation. Let us not forget the
day nor the deed. A dime or a dol
lar or more given will be like lending
it to the Lord. Bill A up.
Oil For Fuel on Sugar Farms.
Honolulu, Oct. 1. Oil is to be tried
as a fuel on the sugar plantations of
the Hawaiian Islands, and from the
result of experiments already made
it is believed that petroleum will be
generally used here in place of coal
aud wood. Agents for the Standard
Oil Company are in the city at pres
ent and will probably close contracts
with some of the largest planters.
A rival California concern also has
an agent in the city, and an oil war
may result if the planters decide
upon a general adoption of the fluid
for fuel. The point of contention at
present is the length of the terms of
contract. The planters ask that the
control be made for two years, with
with privilege of renewal, while the
oil men ask for a five years' contract.
Special ships have to be constructed
for the purpose, and they say that it
is impossible to go to that expense
unless a long contract is made.
City (iarbnge Useil as Fuel.
The progressive city of Minne
apolis, Minn., has started to utilize
its garbage as fuel and in the first
incinerator of the kind adopted has
succeeded in getting from this waste
combustible steam pressure of from
sixty to one hundred pounds which
it uses for motive purposes. Twenty
five tons of garbage is used in twelve
hours to create this pressure and the
stuff is destroyed without any offen
sive odors escaping from the furnace.
The City Council has decided to dis
pose of all tne garoage in tms way.

Last Week Iu Trade Circles.
Special Correspondence.
New York, October 1, 1901.
The orderly progress of business
has been resumed during the past
week, and there has been a substan
tial growth of activity in many de
partments of trade. Production and
distribution in some industrials are
increasing, and there is no evidence
of a material decrease in output in
any branch of the manufacturing
business.. An advance of 5 per cent,
in the wages of operatives by a lead
ing Fall River manufacturer is sub
stantial testimony of a betterment
of conditions in one industry which
has hitherto been lagging in the
march of improvement. Higher
prices for some forms of iron and
steel attest the overcrowded condi
tion of mills and the favorable pros
pects for sustained activity among
producing concerns. The changes in
prices in other raw materials and
finished products have not been im
portan t, but as a rule values have
been maintained. Business failures
during the past week, according to
R. G. Dunn & Co., numbered 227 in
the United States and 31 in Canada,
against 204 iu this country and IS in
Canada during the corresponding
week last year.
Lack of strong speculative sup
port, weaker foreign advices and a
comparatively moderatedemand from
spinners and exporters account for a
decline of i of a cent per pound in
cotton prices in face of unfavorable
crop reports and a very backward !
crop movement iu comparison with
that of last season. The cotton goods
trade has developed no decided ac
tivity, but there has been a steady
moderate demand for current re
quirements. There has been also an
absence of pressure to realize by
manufacturers, which indicates that
primary market stocks are under
good control, and that holders have
confidence in price stability and in
prospects for future business. The
situation at Fall River has been com-
plicated by an advance of 5 per cent.

of corn from Argentina has been a
factor in livening demand in the
United States. The shipments of
corn from Argentina so far during
the presentyear have been 33,312,000

a decrease, and prices iu this coun
try and in Europe are now nearer a
parity for business than they have
been for two months past. The crop
is now practically made; but yield
and quality are irregular, and there
is more disposition among traders to
place reliance on recent low esti
mates of the season's production.
Interior offerings of corn have been

were linked together by some fertile
imagination and a horrible' murder
was reported all over this mountain
country.

benefit of several hundred operatives

ried a lunch basket to work, but now
promptly at midnight all hands
knock off and partake of a bountiful
and substantial repast prepared and
served at the expense of the corn-
pan'. Chicken, ham, roast beef, etc.,
make up the bill of fare, which is
varied from night to night. Coffee is
served every night. It is announced
that the management is so well pleas
ed with the experiment that it has
been made a fixture, while the em
ployes have made formal acknowledg
ment of their appreciation of the
thoughtful kindness of the mill man
agers.
