AMERICAN OR CHICAGO GIANTS WHICH? 12,000 Witnessed Opening Game on Last Sunday, Despite the Fact that Old Sol Swatted Everybody in the Old Town—Grand Stand and Bleacher Plays Were the Sensation of the Day and Yet We Ponder as Who is Who. WILL FOSTER HOLD HIS TITLE? This is the One Fight Where the Fellow Who Bets is Thinking Before He Places His Coin—Ladies in Rich Gowns Add Lustre to the Occasion—The Small Boys and the Tramp Men Vie for Fence Seats. By J. H. Wright. The series of games to be played between the American Giants and Chicago Giants to decide who is to be heap big Giant, commenced Sunday before the largest crowd that ever witnessed a semi-pro game. Rubo Foster's Giants won the first game 8 to 0. Kansas City Bill Lindsey was pitted against the Cyclone Joe Williams. Williams pitched a fine game up to the 5th inning; then the fireworks started and the Cyclone was easy the rest of the way, while Lindsey grew stronger. The features of the game were the folding of Pryor of the American Giants and the hitting of Ball of the Chicago Giants. ! The battle of Giants was renewed on July 4. With one defeat chalked up against them the Chicago Giants started out to even up matters. Leland started Ball who pitched the morning game winning hauds down. He had the heavy hitting Rubens eating out of his flipper, code for hand. He was practically invincible, winning his game 7 to 0. The afternoon game was one of the most exciting games seen in a long while and kept the spectators on their feet constantly. The game was full of excitement. The game was full of base running, and plenty of fine fielding, each side getting eleven hits. Cyclone Joe tried to do what Jima de Jeff did one year ago out to Reno, come back, but he wasn't there and was flying the distress signal in the first round and was derried in favor of Gatewood who pitched a good game, Kansas Bill Lindsey started for the Rubens. Although hit hard he managed to stay the limit and get the decision. The hitting and fielding of Pete Hill was easily the feature of the game, making one of the most sensational catches seen on a semipro diamond. Big Gatewood was the hitting star for the Chicago Giants, getting 3 hits out of 4 trips to the pan. Winslow, leading off, struck out; Parks popped to Monroe: Pettus out, Monroe to Grant. In the Rubens' first half Duncan, the first man up, got a life on Lane's fumble, stole second: Pryor hit to Cyclone Joe who fumbled long enough to allow runner to reach first. Hill knocked a homer, cleaning the bags. Monroe, the hero, tripped and the Cyclone became a tempest and yelled for help. Gatewood going to his assistance and retiring the side. The Chicago came right back in the second with one run. Big Gatewood handed on one of Lindsey's shoots for 2 bags; reached third on a wild pitch, scoring on Williams' single. Petway to start 2nd reached third but never got any nearer home. Third passed off runless. Pete Hill committed a rank piece of robbery in third, grabbing a hit from Greene's bat that was tagged for 4 bags. Honest, if that boy Hill keeps up that rough stuff he will be passing for a Cuban next year or playing on Clark Griffith's Cincinnati Reds. Things went early until the Rubens' half of the sixth when Hill put the wood on one of Gatewood's new curves, called the heat ball, for two bags. Believe us, about this time the thermometer was registering about 130 in the pitcher's box and it was so hot Gatewood and his heat ball had a fit and he soaked Monroe on the immune was about to suffocate the immune called to render assistance to the injured. Not being a fatal punch Mr. Hervé or Monroe was soon well enough to continue and we all settled down once more to watch Mr. Gatewood float the heated pill. Believe us, he is some hurler. Big Rube Foster went out to run for Hervé; for why, we can not tell, but he did. Ruben told us once he thought he had a nice form for a large man and before such a large crowd naturally he just had to show it. Petway singled and the Ruben and Payne scored. In the seventh the Chicago Giants got after Lindsey with a vengeance. Petus beat out an infield hit; Parts doubled, scoring Pettus; Hutchinson muffed Moore's fly. The heat ball pitcher hit for three bags, scoring Parks and Moore. Right here Rube got uneasy; Lindsey was hanging on the ropes, the heat and the snuggers were about to drive the star pitcher to the Rathskellar. But the foxy old Rube got busy with this stalling stuff; he commenced to chew the rag with every one in sight while Lindsey was getting steady on his pins, got his The Chicago Defender. wind and commenced to pitch again. Ball hit for Greene and singled, scoring Gatewood. After that bombardment Lindsey pulled himself together and he settled down, blanking the Giants during the rest of the game. The Rubens did not like the idea of the score being tied and got right after. Gatewood. Duncan tripled; Pryor beat out an infield hit, but by some bone head base running on Duncan's part he was out at the plate. Pryor, trying for third, running about as fast as Baby Bliss, was nabbed by a perfect throw by Pettus. But not to be denied the Rubens started again. Demon Hill hit a single. Monroe for revenge for being soaked on the coco, singled. Payne doubled, scoring Hill and Monroe. Lindsey ended things by flying out to Moore. Lindsey, going stronger, retired the Chicago Giants in order; game ending with score 7 to 5 in favor of the American Giants. The American Giants won Wednesday's game on the 5th to 7; nobody out when winning run was made. Dougherty and Wickware pitched for the Americans; Williams and Gatewood for Chicago Giants. The American Giants forced the Chicago Giants to play an up hill game all the way through. There was plenty of hitting on both sides, the Americans getting 13 hits; Chicago getting 11. Diamond Clippings. The umple had a bad day, being knocked out more than once. Petway, the Rubens star caterer, is an old Nashville boy, having played with Standard Giants. The terrific heat seemed to affect the unny eyesight. He was somewhat off on balls and strikes. Walter Ball soldom falls to deliver the goods; he is one of the best hitting pitchers in the business. Gatewood had his eye on the ball, getting 3 hits out of 4 trips. Winstone got 2 hits but is not as fast on bases since his accident. last on bases since his accident. There were a few Harem skirts at the big dolls. Foster's men seem to play better before a large crowd. Grant, the star first sacker of the American Giants, is improving every day. Poor Cyclone seems to be getting his bumps daily. EXTRACTS FROM A GIRL'S DIARY. Friday, June 23rd.

ANNOUNCEMENT The Midlothian Club regrets very much the presence of so many undesirable persons at their outing, given for their friends July 4th at Lake George Park. We wish to assure our friends that the objectionable persons were not there by invitation of the club but rather because the entrance to the park was unguarded, a step we deemed unnecessary, being an invitation, complimentary affair. The club is fully aware of the names of the uninvited persons and will take every precaution in the future to avoid repetition of such intrusions. (Signed) Midlothian Club.

He is looking the picture of health. He will be pleased to meet his many friends at "The Coterie Club." Mrs. Emma J. Hines, of 112½ W. Colfax Ave., attended the grand session of the International Order of Twelve, at Indianapolis. Mrs. Rasburn Curtiss was hostess to the Progress Club the 1st of July at a pretty three course luncheon. The dining room was beautifully decorated with blue and white, the club colors. Mr. and Mrs. Rasburn Curtiss are visiting their Aunt, Mrs. Tillie E. Smith, of Martindale Ave. Mrs. George Bland and sister, Miss Daisy Bland, were visiting friends in Chicago. Miss Bland is contemplating making the "Windy City" her future home. Mr. and Mrs. Garnett, of Chicago, were in the City the 4th, the guests of Mrs. Doulin, en route to Fort Wayne, Indiana. The Sewing Circle will give a Thimble and Lawn Social July 13th, at Mrs. A. W.

After a swell luncheon was served an automobile ride was enjoyed. Prof. C. S. Swain lectured at the A. M. E. church Monday last to a large crowd. Mr. Henry Hill and 'Mrs. Cora B. Ash were the guests of Mr. Hill's mother, of Niles, Michigan, last Sunday. Miss Georgina May Ward was among the out-of-town guests in attendance at the Bell and Winburn wedding in Chicago last week. The K. of P.'s celebrated and gave their annual picnic on the 30th. The special cars were crowded. The picnickers made a spread for dinner; everybody on the ground was made welcome to those good chicken dinners. The amusements in the afternoon consisted of a thin man's race which was won by Mr. John Wade, of 809 W. Thomas St. The base ball game between the hotel boys and the South Bend Sports, was a feature, the former being the lucky ones. The Termination of Ladies' Clubs. These are all practical facts in relation to the spirit and purpose of the clubs maintained by women that bear saliently upon the present day problems of society. In other times cultured and earnest women did their work through salons and only a privileged few could unite in the quickening and forceful conferences that often originated from these frequently brilliant assemblages. With the broadening of the field of culture for the female sex and the widening of the scope of influence women came out from the salon and formed the more democratic clubs. Yet these clubs carry with them the traditions of the assemblies of picked women of the centers of the world, while at times salon gatherings were marked by the elements of pleasure rather than profit, still the fact remains that select gatherings of this sort were the progenitors of the modern clubs. The women of power and influence today, the women whose position in society affords them the leisure and the means to enter into active endeavors for the benefit of others or for the broadening of their own outlook, are doing a great work of social elevation and must be reckoned among the truly conservative forces of the country. Maryland is among the states which foster women's clubs and here, as elsewhere, the club idea has so broadened that the Federation of Women's Clubs is upon a purely democratic basis. No section of the sex, no necessitous elements of the population, no condition of society, but receives from the federated women's clubs, through some of their affiliated bodies, the consideration that can not otherwise be derived. The incalculable power of the Federation of Women's Clubs and the state, when banded together, over the country, has not been enough appreciated outside of the circles of women, even if the women themselves have adequately gauged their power. No campaign upon which the women of these clubs might enter would fail of success, the power they could bring to bear for the correction of any abuse, for the furthering of any interest, for the creation of any reform, would be tremendous. The evolution of the world has not yet advanced to the point at which absolute coherence and unity of purpose affords the leverage for uplift that the women of the land will possess when they are prepared to use their clubs for this purpose. South Bend is blessed with two beautiful parks and the people certainly pour out to them during the day hunting a cool spot. "Oh you July." LAURA EMERSON TALCOTT SOLVES SAM PORTER'S PUZZLE. Special to the Chicago Defender. Galveston, Texas, July 7.—Mr. Editor: Allow me space in your valuable paper to set Sam Porter (colored) straight on a few points about those chickens he failed to bag. First to mention will be the silver match case. This was alleged to have been sent by Santa Claus. Now, why this Patron Saint had been so generous Laura could not at first understand. She knew that she had explained about the yellow nigger prowling around the hen house and had given Sam minute instructions concerning everything. Well she knew also that Sam and this yellow nigger had met and though they had not seen each other for years remembered their boyhood days and naturally they would discuss the situation and decide who cared the most to possess the chickens. Sam, following Laura's instructions, entered the hen house and after looking the fowls all over and perhaps by accident stepped on a few of the tenderest young chicks, decided to let the yellow nigger have them if he could catch them as he knew where there were a finer brood of fowls that could be possessed without so much ceremony. Now Laura could not think of any other explanation and being sure that it was a prearranged affair and thinking herself a good loser, entered into the spirit of the game, but she misjudged her ability to hold out, especially since she was accused of stealing the silver match safe which was found in her possession. Having sent for Sam and learned that he had come to look around only and he would be gone in a few days, she knew that there was ample time to let the yellow nigger down lightly and return the silver match case she had been accused of stealing as it had served its purpose. Now, if Sam, or any one, is yet puzzled about those chickens it is because he wants to be and Laura will always believe that Sam's general principles are but a cloak for his conscience and an excuse for his voluntary exile. MISS ANNA M. COLE, CASHIER JESSE BINGA BANK. Married Thursday, June 29, to Mr. Grinnell, baker, at 3308 State St. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father Masiah, of Saint Thomas' Episcopal Church. Miss Cole has the distinction of being one of the only two ladies in the United States who were actively employed as cashier of a bank. Having many friends who wish her success they regret that the affair was a quiet one. DAYTON BOYS SPEND 4TH IN CHI CAGO. Messrs. Edward Deaton and Bob Mallory were the guests of Dr. Barnes and Prof. Harry Roger for the 4th. Mr. Mallory, one of the most wealthy young men of the race, who in real estate alone represents $75,000, drove over in his new Speedwell, with Mr. Deaton, another prominent young Daytonian and friend, who is himself an agent for an estate, as riding companion. They had a fine time and they said it is possible that their return will be soon. LEWIS TO HAVE "PRESS" TENT. Mqj. R. R. Jackson is to be congratulated upon the selection of Cary B. Lewis to take charge of the Pythian Press Bureau of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias. It will be remembered by Pythians who attended the Louisville encampment, that Lewis reported the meetings to the entire satisfaction of all concerned. He was at that time on the staff of the Louisville Courier-Journal, one of the most prominent and progressive white papers of this country. The magnitude of this gathering is not generally understood; something like eight thousand men will be tended under the command of Mqj. R. R. Jackson at the fair grounds in Indianapolis the latter part of August. The same discipline as is used in the U. S. army will be observed. We say with pardonable pride that Chicago's two representatives will acquit themselves with credit. Ye weary editors who wend their way to Lewis's tent will find a welcome such as only true Kentuckians can give. MRS. L. C. COATS AND DAUGHTER BURNT OUT. Mrs. L. C. Coats and daughter, Mrs. Susie Oglesby, 3329 State street, were burnt out Wednesday morning. The five destroyed the entire front part of the building.

THE GET-TOGETHER BANQUET. The Grace Presbyterian church men on Thursday evening excluded the ladies of the congregation and had a banquet all by themselves; and it was a banquet in every sense of the word. Dr. Geo. A. Lewis, chief chef, had things looking in "Blackstone" style. The speaker of the evening was Mr. Calvin H. Mills, chairman of the church extension committee, who spoke earnestly regarding the upbuilding of the church and told how the men of Grace may do to build a beautiful home for themselves and the coming generations. Grape juice suffered; salad as made by Dr. George C. Hall was immense. After-dinner speeches were made by all present and the men left the church benefited by their having gathered. Mr. W. D. Neighbors, Jackson Gordon and Horace Bronton took the prize from the Palmer House waiters. Mr. Pierce did the carving and to say the least the men of Grace can in a way get along at least one night without the ladies.

The State of Washington gives $5,000 to relatives of deceased for railroad THE BASEBALL CONTEST Thursday's Game of the Series Ends Very Impolite to Visitors. By Sylvester Russell. The public was very much displeased at the outcome of the stellar game of the series given on the American Giants' grounds last Thursday afternoon. All the games recorded by Mr. Wright are commented upon elsewhere in this issue. Wickware, the new pitcher, was in the box for the Americans and Walter Ball for the Chicagoos. There were more extravagant errors than one would look for in an amateur performance. Everything went well until the Chicago Giants had tied the score with the Americans. Then a squabble ensued, the nature of which was unreasonable and resulted in the Chicago Giants retiring from the field and forfeiting the game rather than submit to the ruling of Forsterism and the umpires of Schorling's hire. The public has thus far this season looked upon Rube Foster's general field exercise as a gallery performance and while the public is grateful to him for his attainments and grateful to Mr. Schorling for the enticement of a great commercial sporting enterprise it is not reasonable to expect that the public will submit to forfeited games will accommodate the servants whom they pay to serve them on the ball field. If the public must wait upon Rube Foster's private retaliations or other squabbles between players and umpires and submit to forfeits the game will be doomed. The sentiment of the public is peculiar. It is not for the American Giants to decide for their own significance as to who shall or shall not win in a series of games on the American field. The public must first be considered and outside nines should be given the benefit of at least a shade the best of any doubt in a technical decision in order to maintain a popular estimation of the Schorling end of a tiresome Rube Foster demonstration. ARMOUR PACKING CO. HIRE YOUNG COLORED WOMEN. Many of our people west of State street were taken by surprise and one actually fainted when Miss Ettel Jackson, 2838 Armour avenue, and Mrs. W. Thomas, 2834 Armour avenue, called at their homes as canvassers for Armour Packing Co. Mr. A. A. Thomas, grocer at 2836 Armour avenue, was the one to secure these young ladies employment in this large packing establishment. He is truly a man of the race, strictly for the race, and it became known that Mr. Thomas stated to the Armour people that they were deriving quite a trade from the colored people and making no returns. They in turn said if you can get us some good young women and men that want employment as canvassers we will take them, hence Miss Ettel Jackson and Mrs. Thomas were employed and they have made good and paved the way for others who may wish to take up the work. If we had more men like Mr. Thomas $q$ to go to the front for their people without being pushed then we would soon be receiving returns for our money and recognition as a race the same as other nationalities who are not so truly Amrican as we are. The Defender is glad to say that any one wishing to take up the field Mr. Thomas' efforts has established may get full particular, by calling up Calumet 3026. It Wasn't a Plot.

"You seem {to know something about music,” said the organist, in a condescending way. “CN let you dis: miss the congregation if you like.” “Why, yes," sald Mr, De Koven, “ woul like that very much.” Accordingly, at the end of the re- cessional, he exchanged places with the organist and began to play Men: delssohn’s "Spring Song.” He played beautifully. ‘The Dayton people, en- ttzalled by the wonderful music, re: fused to depart. They sat in rapt enfoyment, and after the “Spring Song” was Qnished Mr, De Koven be: gan something of Chopin. Suddenly a heavy hand was laid on his shoul der and he was pushed off the music stool. “You can’t dismiss a congregation,” said the organist, impatiently; “watch and sce how soon I'll get them out.” aitinet Gabe ae ena ‘The care of children is not properly subject to theory, but to a considera. tion of conditions.

Base ball seems to be all the talk now-a-days. Even the ice man was overcome with heat this week. For fear that some one might be neglected we timidly ask—is it hot enough for you? If we just put up enough of the heat we are getting it would be better than canned fruit this winter. Business fell off 50 per cent in all lines during the hot spell. Oh! I forgot the undertaker. He did more. Constant Reader: No, base ball fans are not cool; as a rule they are pretty warm members. Old Sol wishes to be remembered for the part he played in Chicago for 6 days.

For the first time in the history of New York a colored man has been placed on the police force. Chicago has had many of them for years. Is New York so good, or Chicago so had? It is predicted that 50 years hence science will have progressed to the point where nobody will have to work. Then the only use for alarm clocks will be to wake people up in time for picnies. The Defender has located one of the railroad wreck victims. People, will you help us find the other; Mr. Porter, the second on line from left to right. We are now almost confident that Mr. Harris' people will be found. It is gratifying to learn that the merchants are getting a good portion of the trade of their own people; confidence in each other will bring success, not only for the merchant, but to the entire race. Fourth of July was celebrated in the south by the shooting of fifty negroes by individual whites, but since there was no mob violence the Associated Press did not see fit to publish it.

Actually it is a shame before God as well as the community in which they live to see in the 35th block on Forest avenue weeds in front of houses so high that the children play hide and seek in them. Are they aware of the fact that refined people live beside them and in the block? It is this class who are always speaking of going over east to live, when in fact Arour avenue and 25th street by the tracks is the place where they belong. Several other streets over east have the same appearance and it must be stopped. Next week we will publish a list of plots in front of such and such number that should be cut and kept in keeping with the surroundings. BASEBALL SQUABBLE. The public wants to know whether or not the American and Chicago Glants are members of the local baseball association, and if they are why do they take the power into their hands to decide questions of decisions, or is it of such great financial betting interest among the members of the teams that they, each of them, make himself a committee of one to look out for his bet? The public is getting tired of this monkey business and want the men to play not only a cleaner ball but a faster ball. The average man that goes to a game gets his money harder than the average man that attends the leagues, and when he, after spe. ing two nights and days on the road, consents to spend a little of his tips to help his brother rise in the professional world, and is forced to sit three and one-half hours to see a game that should be played in two hours or 1:45, he becomes sore and he is not to be blamed if he stays away the rest of the season. Then discipline is another thing needed. Instead of the average man on the various teams being in bed at 11 o'clock he is seen prowling around the streets at that time and when you call his hands about it, he has the nerve to tell you that he can stay up all night and then play ball. Well, you may, but from now on the public will demand that all questions as to decisions which they cannot decide in 10 minutes must be sent to the association and that a faster ball must be played, and when a question comes up on the diamond let the captains or managers, as the case may be, decide as to what shall be done instead of everybody running in like a bunch of Indians to demand a mooted question. The great trouble is, though, in our teams the great majority of the men have never had the discipline during their entire life and the consequence is society must suffer in future. We as a people must demand more high school and college men on our teams in order that a clean and faster ball can be had. A WORD MORE ABOUT PEDLARS. In the thickly populated districts of this city, especially in those sections where the Defender readers live, the silly legislation that previous peddlers from announcing their wares is a positive drawback to every day life. Compelled by reason of the color of your skin to live in out of the way places, several stories up, it is no joke to be compelled to stand on the back porch for hours to watch for a pearl to go by. When did the city of Chicago or those learned gentlemen down at the City Hall, popularly called Aldermen, become so good that they could even presume to govern the God given right to tell the world what you have for sale? The people that this newspaper represents are not all able to have a telephone and their ordinary necessities are bought by the basket or bushel. Coal and wood are the most needed and when the washing and ironing and other household work has to be neglected while you watch for the coal or ice man, things have come to a pretty pass. Let the city fathers pay a little more attention to the uhmuzzed dogs during these warm days, to the better collection of ashes and garbage, and put a few more lights about the town and perhaps some day, in the near future, Chicago will be a real city. THE NEW YORK AGE WINS FIGHT. They say "Keeping everlasting at it brings success." For the first time in the history of New York the colored citizens can boast of having one of their number on the police force. If you ask why in all these years they have never before broken into the ranks, echo answers, why? The power of the press was never better exemplified than in this particular case. Samuel J. Battle some two years ago, successfully passed the mental and physical examinations required by law and should, by rights, have been appointed immediately upon the force, but a cog slipped somewhere and his appointment was shelved. The New York Age, with the push and energy so characteristic of this wonderful paper, took up Battle's cause and practically forced the mayor and chief of police to give not only Battle but the entire race justice. We congratulate the Age and can only add it is one-more proof of what influence a great paper has on the public. OUR EDITORIAL COLUMNS The convincing and substantial asset of every newspaper is in the strength of its editorial columns. As moulders of public opinion the editor's ideas upon the events of the day are always awaited with interest. Reporters and correspondents send in their news, which is read with interest, but what the editor thinks about it in block and white is the most important to the readers. The Chicago Defender has been severely condemned along this line. But did you ever stop to think that at the very time that you were writing those letters of complaint in the kitchen that the Editor was at the front door seek- ing the needful in order to carry out this all important part of newspaper work? Think about it. THE SUDS BUSTERS. "Busting suds," as many people delight in terming the hundreds of our honest and sincere women "who go out washing by the day" In order to assist in the maintenance of large families, is an expression that borders on slang and is generally used to humiliate, or in the language of the street, to get back at somebody. Those of us by reason of circumstances (and the word is used advisedly), who are compelled to earn a living in this manner are desirable members of any community. When engaged in any honest employment you are minding your own business. In minding your own business you have as a rule done a full day's work and perhaps worked a little over time. LIFE PERIODS AND CLOTHES How a Man's Tastes In Raliment Differ From Youth to Careless Old Age. It is interesting to follow a man in the matter of his raiment. There are established periods in his life wherein in his tastes differ, and his ways differ, and from start to finish the matter is one of considerable interest. When he is under age and at college, his taste runs riot in the matter of clothing. Weird checks, fearful plaids, remarkable cuts of balloon-like pants and box-like coats appeal to him. The matter of a quarter inch in length of a coat concerns him greatly, and he begins to have his pants pressed with four creases in them, pointing to the north, south, east and west. When he goes to work he carries some of this wonderful raiment with him. It is a link that connects him with high college days. But the link wears out, and he is busy, and presently you see him in wholly different attire. He is neat enough, but his weird taste has changed. He now goes in for business suits and is painfully exact in his dress for the evening. But as he gets along in business he ceases to have his clothing pressed. He marries and his wife keeps after him to put on a clean collar. He has long ceased to wear shoes for looks and has his shoes made to order because he likes 'em to be a 4 17-18 inches wide at the toe in order to obtain comfort. He has them shinned whenever any event comes along and reminds him of it. And finally his whole family leap upon him. They call him slouchy, and when he gets a new suit it is a family matter in which the individual views of the family combine, and his own are lost. For it's always that way, and probably always will be.—Galveston News. GUARANTY OF HIS SILENCE Presence of Masterful Wife In Church Stopped Objectionable Noise Man Thought Was Singing. Unexpectedly a city pastor who encouraged congregational singing gained a new parishioner. Keen though his delight in hearing his people sing, there was one member of his flock whose endeavors he never encouraged. But the man sang without encouragement, much to the discomfiture of pewholders anywhere near him, who claimed that his loud, unmusical voice threw them out of time and tune. Repeated complaints convinced the minister that somebody would have to assume the responsibility of silencing the ambitious singer. He decided that the man's wife was best fitted for the job. Owing to a difference in religious views husband and wife attended different churches, but the minister knew her, so he called and explained his predicament. She was genuinely surprised. "Do you mean to say he sings?" she said. She toed up, to announce the pastor. She thought a minute. "I shall have to come there to church," she said. "I shall be glad to see you," said the minister, "but what effect will that have on your husband's singing?" The look she gave him was more significant than words, and they meant a good deal. "John will never open his mouth when I am around," she said. And John never knew. NOVELTY IN LETTER WRITING How the Ignorant Factory Girl Man aged to Accept an Offer of $100,000. One Englishwoman relates rather a pretty story about a factory girl's way of answering a marriage proposal made to her. Of course it happened long, long ago. The young woman could not write or read writing, and one day, says the lady, she brought a letter to me to read it to her. It contained an offer in marriage. I happened to know that the writer was a deserving young artisan, so I said to her, "Now, you must consider this matter very seriously, and if you like to come to me when you have made up your mind, I will write a reply for you." A day or two afterward I met the girl again, and asked her if she wanted me to answer the letter for her. "O, that is all right," said the girl, looking radiant and pleased. "I've settled it; I answered it myself." "Why, how did you do it?" I asked. And then she told me that she could make a capital "I," and that she stuck on the paper a piece of wool after it for "wull"—"I wool." Surely one of the quintest acceptances of an offer in marriage ever penned. In Partnership. He—"So young March and his father are carrying on the business?" She—"Yes. The old man- runs the business while young March does the carrying on."—N. Y. Globs.

The Defender reporter met this week an old friend in the person of Wilmot Johnson, Michigan's most popular bachelor. Mr. Johnson is auditor in the General's department at Lansing, Mich., and also publisher of J. Madison Bell's poems. Mr. Johnson is one of Michigan's brightest products and it has ever been her wish that Wilmot would select one of her fair daughters for his helpmate. To know Mr. Johnson is to know one of nature's noblemen. Being non-aggressive and reserved in disposition, Mr. Johnson has not been the glaring light he might have been. But his sterling qualities make themselves felt by all who come in contact with him. May success ever be wish him.

HE WROTE THE GREAT PLAY Friends Praised It, Famous Manager Took It to Read—and Then He Woke Up. "My friends had always insisted that I could write a great play," said Jordan. "If I would only set my hand to the task. Well, to be frank, I had long cherished the idea myself that I possessed the ability to do something worth while in the way of providing material for the stage. Like so many of my fellow laborers in the journalistic field, however, I found it exceedingly difficult to secure the time which was necessary for the production of a drama. The best I could do was to steal an hour now and then to devote to the great work. This I did faithfully and zealously, and, after two years of study and earnest endeavor my play began to near completion. "My friends were enthusiastic. I had been fortunate enough to hit upon an entirely new plot, and, if I may say so, I had handled it admirably. Each of the four acts was filled with thrilling situations; the comedy was subtle and insinuating; the 'pathos was genuine and the interest was splendidly sustenual. Having administered the finishing touches, I took my play to a great producing manager. He had an office in a large building on Broadway. "With my play done up in a neat package I entered the anteroom, where a young man greeted me respectfully and admitted that the great manager was not out of the city. In fact, the young man consented to take my card into his employer. I had waited only a minute or two when the young man returned and graciously conducted me to the manager, who cordially shook hands with me and said that he would be glad to personally read my play and consider it strictly on its merits." "Well, just at that moment something fell somewhere, making a loud, clattering noise, so I crawled out of bed and put on my clothes."—Chicago Record-Herald Wonderful Memory. "There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences. The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so obedient; at others, so bewildered and so weak; and at others again, so tyrannic, so beyond control."—Jane Austen. Quaker Slang. A visitor to Philadelphia, unfamiliar with the garb of the Society of Friends, was much interested in two demure and placid Quakeresses, who took seats directly behind her in the Broad street station. After a few minutes' silence she was somewhat started to hear a gentle voice inquite: "Sister Kate, will she go to the counter and have a milk punch on me?"—Lincolncott's. It seems that Chicago's supply of waiters is inexhaustible. At least twenty crews have left here for service in other cities and still we are equal to each demand. Mr. Wilson, a competent head waiter of Hot Springs, Ark., is the latest to take from our ranks a crew of men. They go with him to Macnack Island and take charge of the dining room of the Grand Hotel. B. Belfore, one of Chicago's best head waiters, leaves the city this week for Michigan City, Ind., where he will have charge of the Greenland Hotel. The Congress Hotel and Annex, Chicago, under its new management, is undergoing a most radical change, and when the appropriation of more than $300,000 for betterments has been expended, this hotel will have no superior in the matter of rooms accommodations. It is not alone in the rooms, however, that the Congress Hotel is to shine pre-eminently. The chinaware and silver equipment is to be all new, the orders having already been placed. The chinaware is being made by Bauscher Bros. The silverware order is one of the largest ever given for hotel, aggregating $25,000, and is placed with Reed & Barton. The Pompeian room in the Congress Hotel, which is chassed among the most famous dining and refreshment rooms in the world, is being equipped with a new grill, double the size of the one which has formerly served the purpose. The room seats more than 600 and, being frequently taxed to capacity, the enlarged grill will facilitate the service. The grill equipment is being supplied by Albert Pick & Co. J. M. Lotton, well known in the hotel world, has returned recently from Colfax, Ia., where he was employed at the Hotel Colfax. He reports business all O. K. there. An eight-story hotel containing 300 rooms to be erected at a cost of $250,000 will be constructed at the southeast corner of Madison and Clinton streets. The improvement is an indication of the changes that have taken place in this part of the city since the erection of the new Northwestern depot. The new hotel will be known as the Northwestern Hotel. Max Goldstine and P. J. Shaeffer are the owners. GREENE WAS A LUCKY MAN His Lost Five Dollar Bill Found in Two Places, and His Conscience Elastic. "If anybody but Greene had told me this I wouldn't have believed it, and I wouldn't have believed him if it had happened to him, but Greene told the man. 'The other day Greene lost five dollars. When he got home he began to figure out where he might have lost it. There was a chance every time he (look out his pocketbook. He had had his pocketbook in his hand, he remembered, when he left the drug store at One Hundred and Fourth street, and again when he left the florist's at One Hundred and First street. "In order to expedite the search Greene telephoned the news of his loss to the druggist. The druggist was very accommodating. He promised to put the whole drug store force on the job and to telephone back the result as soon as the premises had been thoroughly searched. "While waiting for a message from the druggist Greene telephoned to the florist, and received similar assurances of co-operation. In about five minutes the druggist called up. The five dollars had been found lying under the edge of a dry goods box on the pavement and would be hauled over to Greene. "Greene jumped into his coat and grabbed his hat, but before he got to the door the florist telephoned that the five dollars had been found in the ash can just outside his door, and would be held against all comers until Greene called for it. Greene's conscience is of the India rubber variety, so he had no compunctions about collecting the five dollars from both druggist and florist. I'll bet that wouldn't happen to anybody else on earth but Greene." The Pacifier. Some women while engaged decorating a village church were informed that a gont was making a meal of a "Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men" design on the leaves, which had been left in the church yard, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "Make heate, Pat," cried the women, "the gont is starting to eat again." "Let him ate away," said Pat. "I am gain to wait until he's got some 'good will to men' inside of him." Real Reason of It "These hanging gardens of Babylon are said to have been 300 feet in the air." "Why did the king put them so high?" "Perhaps the neighboring kings kept chickens." MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC ```markdown ``` SYLVESTER RUSSELL. THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY BILLY KERSANDS AT THE MONO- GRAM—BERT MURPHY, TOO. By Sylvester Russell. The Monogram broke all records on Fourth of July eve, afternoon and evening when the strongest bill ever given in a small house on State street was presented. The strong card that kept the house full at every performance was the one and only Billy Kersands. The most famous comedian in the world. He was assisted by his wife, Louise Kersands, and to say that their act was a scream and their general reception large is unnecessary. Their dialogue was not only up-to-date but quite as original as Billy's work ever was. Time has not robbed him of his humor or his voice and his disrobing finale was funny, sure. Mrs. Kersands singing was a glad surprise, for she has never been heard to a better advantage, nor has she ever been seen to hand a ragtime song over with such assurable agility. Bert Murphy was the next strong card in turn whose popularity was expressed in Billy Kersands, Minstrel Magnet. the heavy applause accorded him as a usual reception on his entrance. Murphy is decidedly an actor, one distinguished by personality and original humor and his songs are even better than his monologue, all of which meet with a heavy demonstration. Joe I Thompson and wonders with & strong new net trick brought them upon equality with the fore named stars of greater reputation, and their songs were great. Ora Criswell, a singing and dancing souvenir went the limit, and will not dare go any further. She wore nice new costumes and won artistic favor. There was a great demand for work in the popular little orchestra that holds State street spellbound. Will Dorsey had the lighter work on the piano, but Sweatman, the clarinet expert, added charm to the singers, while Reeves drum trappings were sweetened by labor and summer tears. Tilly Kersandis is very much alive and will be with us all next week, so Manager Klein and Mr. Miller are happy. Another Good Show at the Basin. The extraordinary heat which broke in on the patronage of all the theatres except the clamor to see Kersands was a texture of Monday night, but the Poker charmed in large patronage on Friday of daily evening. This week two white acts held the center of the stage. The Pirris Italian balancers gave an act of decided merit both in light and heavy balancing. The Great Weber, a female impersonator, who played on string and brass instruments, was a good clear falsetto singer who in his natural voice carried melody in the baritone register. Of the colored acts Russell and Barnet, two female opera singers, were the most successful, their voices blending beautifully. Miner and Barton did a pleasing sketch. Miss Barton's voice is light, so she will have to recite her songs in a loud high pitch and speak her lines in the same manner. Coleman Miner is a very good comedian, but had to labor to help his partner, J. W. Wright, a young bass singer whose voice is more true than molodious, gave, good satisfaction. One of his selections was whistling. Manager Robert T. Motts has been exceedingly ill, but the news has been held back. He is now reported to be improving. In the meantime Acting Manager Sam Corker, Jr., is running the house in the usual way. The Prince Trio at the New Grand Summer weather and two baseball games every day told a little on the patronage of all the houses. We are having torrid heat, but in spite of that the performers are doing wonders, Prince Mobley and Prince took the biscuit for comedy work at this house. Not only was his sketch meritorious, but their music was all of a nice order. Minstrel Morris was the other colored act on the bill and won favor. The white acts were Harry Sullivan & Co. in a race track skit which was good, Hillman brothers acrobats, Davis & Cooper, and O'Laughlin's dogs. The orchestra played well in every particular. The Phoenix Theatre Shows Good Pictures. The Phoenix theatre is the place for the children, and we are glad to see them go. The picture plays are moral and humorous. Range Pals, The Interview and an 1861 war drama are Monday's bill and Ed. Goodbair, the sweet tenor' s song illustrated songs. Hl Henry Hunt, a fire eater, has arrived in town. Bessle La Belle met with much success on her southern vaudeville tour. Billy Johnson and his Creole Belles opened at the Congress Cafe, and were re-engaged two weeks. Monroe Tabor also fared well at this house. Howard Andrews, the greatest harmonica player of his race, left for Canada to join Tom P. Kelley's minstrels for a British tour. Sidney L. Perrin left last Friday for Cincinnati, where he has put on a stock company at the New Magnolia theatre. The rest of the company, including Henry Sapiro left later. Fiddler & Shelton closed their season's vaudeville tour at Detroit. Harry Fiddler, who stopped back for a fishing cruise, has arrived in the city, where he can keep his eye on Ruby Shelton. Evans Tyree of the Sterling jubilee singers informs us that they have been booked by the Redpath Bureau and opened at Kilborn, Wis., for their season's tour. Tom Fletcher and wife have left for New York. Mrs. Fletcher will stop at their country home in Coatesville, Pa., while Tom will make good his threat to visit the Gotham city. Sam H. M. Davis of Davis and Walker's America's foremost comedy acrobatic team has purchased a handsome home and stable at 3716 Forest avenue. Mr. Davis was one of the founders of the C. V. B. A. The Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association and the Goats indulged in a mild game of ball on Wentworth avenue field Wednesday, June 25th, which resulted in a score of 3 to 1 in favor of the Goats. The flaws that lost the game for the C. B. V. A. were made by a Goat substitute. The umpire was also a Goat. Among the actors who participated in the game were as follows: C. V. B. A.'s—Louis Mitchell, pitcher; Bert Murphy, catcher; Chaser, Chas. Bruce, Sam Davis, McKissick, Diggs (Goat substitute), Reese brothers and others. Goats—Owen Granger, pitcher; J. Morgan Prince, catcher; Irvin Miller, Washington Monday, Tom Reed, Tom Davis and others. Budd Smith (Goat) was umpire. There is rumor that the actors will have a big field game in the near future. S. Russell was score keeper. On Friday evening, June 30th, at half past eleven, the Goats gave a ramble at the Pekin theatre, Manager Motts having donated the theatre. The house was filled and over one hundred dollars was realized. Manager Sam Corker, who was master of ceremony, publically thanked Mr. Motts and the audience at the close of the performance. The program was not confined to Goats, but other actors volunteered. The street parade was dressed by the Reese brothers, to whom the management extends thanks. The program was as follows: Leon Diggs, tenor solo; Southern trio made a decided impression; Ed Williams, banjoist; Alonzo Moore, the best single colored magician on the stage, whose production of fowls, animals and a boy from an empty cabinet, were features of his greatness. A famous novel amateur entertainment by Bert Murphy, Sam H. M. Davis, Flourney Miller, Aubrey Lyles, Chas. Bruce and Henry Sapiro was a decided hit. Coleman L. Miner in an original monologue made a decided hit. The Dahomian Trio made a bit. Will Washington was fair and Miller & Green talked. Hunter & Perkins did a rousing good sketch and Reese Brothers and the Goats band closed a good bill at 1:30 p. m. Hurt by War Bodies While in Chattanooga a few weeks ago a local man noticed an old colored man who carried his right arm in a sling. "What is the matter, uncle?" he asked. "Is your arm broken?" "No, sah," grinned the old man. "It's jest gun sore." "Been hunting?" "No, sah. Ah been shootin' trees." "Oh, I see; target practice." "No sah." "Then you'll have to elucidate." "Well, sah. It's like dis," the old man explained. "We goes out into de woods an' shoots bullets into de trees. After a while de trees grows around de bullets a little, then we cuts dem down to sell to people fum de norf as relics ob de battle ob Lookout mountain." Curious Neighbors Folded A wealthy New York society woman has recently become very much interested in city missionary work. In her district is a poor but respectable family named Morlarty, living on the top floor rear of a tenement house in a congested east side street. 'Every time she has visited the Morlartys she has been much annoyed by the staring and whispering of the other occupants of the building. The other day she spoke to Mrs. Morlarty about it. "Your neighbors seem very curious to know who and what I am," she remarked. "They do so," acquiesced Mrs. Morlarty. "Do they ask you about it?" "Indude they do, ma'am." "And do you tell them?" "Faith, thin, an' Ol do not. Ol ljst you you're me dressmaker, an' let it go at that."—Metropolitan Magazine. The Flalshing Touch: "No," says the eminent actress earnestly. "I cannot approve of the fashion that so many members of my profession have of being photographed continually." The reporter makes some feverish notes and she continues: "It seems to me that, because one is on the stage is no reason why he or she should consider his or her face of absorbing interest to the public." She continues for half a column and as the reporter is stowing away his notebook she smiles sweetly and says: "Here is one 'of my latest' photographs for you to use with the interview. I sat for it only yesterday, so you may be sure it has never before been reproduced."—Judge. It May Be Your Whole Vacation. Before deciding, send for handsomely illustrated booklet.—New York Sun. KING GEORGE AN ATHLETE His Majesty Has Practiced Most Forms of Manly Exercise and Especially Likes Shooting. The king's reception at Buckingham palace recently of the team of polo players who are to represent England in the United States, recalls the fact that his majesty played regularly when he was a naval lieutenant. He was a good player, too, and could hold his own with some of the best representatives of the two services. Almost every form of manly exercise has been practiced by his majesty, and there is not the slightest doubt that every kind of sport will benefit enormously during his reign. Shooting, of course, noids the warmest place in his majesty's affections. "I love a gun," he confessed recently, "but I am almost as happy when I am fishing the pools of Dee with a long day before me." Next to shooting and fishing, King George's warmest admiration is reserved for the Rugby code of football. Not long ago he expressed the opinion that Rugby was the ideal game for all ranks of the army and navy, as it kept the men "flt," taught them to realize the virtues of self-discipline, and to withstand hard knocks. Then, again, his majesty is a capital swimmer, and has actually saved life from drowning. This interesting event took place when, as a youth, he went around the world with his brother in the Bacchante. A bluejacket fell overboard and King George went in after him and held him up until assistance arrived. In the "boom" period of cycling, his majesty was often seen a-wheel; while cricket, of course, he has constantly played and continues to follow with the interest of a keen observer. Can't Lose 'Em. After 25 years a wandering suitor has returned to claim his affluence of a quarter of a century ago. The day before the couple were to have been married the young man was ordered west for his health. He went to California and for a time continued his correspondence, but through changes in address the correspondence ceased. Seven years ago the young lady went to live with the family of a wealthy real estate man in Jamaica. Recently she has been morose and told her unhappiness was due to her continued single blessedness. She then decided to tell her story to a newspaper and the account of her long wait for the wandering suitor, along with the information that she had saved considerable money, brought forth many applications for her favor. One who chanced to read it was her old "flame." He sought out his former sweetheart, a few minutes sufficed to revive the youthful pangs and arrangements were quickly made for the wedding. Now, this all sounds romantic enough for us, but what we want to know is whether, it was the news of his sweetheart's whereabouts or her wherewithal that made the wandering lover "come back." Can anybody tell? A. Natural Inquiry A number of men gathered in the smoking-car of a train from Little Rock to another - point in Arkansas were talking of the food best calculated to sustain health. One Arkansasan, a stout, florid man with short gray hair and a self-satisfied air, was holding forth in great style. "Look at me!" he exclaimed. "Never a day's sickness in my life! And all due to simple food. Why, gents, from the time I was 20 to when I reached 40 years I lived a regular life. None of these affermate delicacies for me" No late hours! Every day, summer and winter, I went to bed at 5; got up at 5; lived principally on corned beef and corn bread. Worked hard, gents, worked hard from S to 1, then dinner, plain dinner, then an hour's exercise, and then——" "Excuse me," interrupted a stranger who had remained silent, "but what were you in for?"—Housekeeper. Watchdog of the Treasury John Addison Porter, once secretary to the president, overdrew his account on one occasion, when he went off on a vacation; and Comptroller Tracewell disallowed it. When Secretary Porter returned to Washington, he told the president about it, and President McKinley telephoned to Tracewell to come to the White House. On his arrival there Tracewell was asked why he had disallowed that account, and he replied: "I disallowed it, Mr. President, because it is my duty, as comptroller of the treasury, to protect the money of the people from every kind of misconstruction of the law. If you should draw one month's salary in advance, I should certainly disallow it."—Illustrated Sunday Magazine Relics of Past Ages. An interesting discovery was made recently at Spital (Eng.) by a number of workmen. While digging operations were being carried on, a quantity of human bones were turned up. This was followed by the unearthing of a number of stone coffins, each containing human remains. The coffins bore no resemblance to the massive sarcophagus recently disinterred at Berwick, but consisted simply of rough stone slabs. Confident Assertion "Well, Charley, dear," said young Mrs. Torkins, "I don't know much about baseball—" "You truly don't," replied her husband. "But I'd be willing to leave it to the boys on the bleachers if I don't know more about the game than that umpire who gave three straight decisions against us." Wagner's Parentage Discussing the autobiography of Richard Wagner, the Oesterreichische Wochenschrift says that no one will ever know whether the truth has all been published as to the master's parentage. "It is a fact, though, that he was registered at school as Richard Geyer and did not take the name Wagner until he was fourteen years old," says this authority. The Sporting World Grace Pres. baseball team defeated Bethany Pres. baseball team in a one-sided game. Grace players had their bats loaded-with hits and uncorked them at the expense of Bethany's slab artists for a total of 35 hits. Pitcher E. Renfroe, while stopping a line drive had his finger split on his right hand, which will keep him out of the game for a time. P.

Diamond Dust The Leland Giants and the American Giants celebrated last Sunday with a victory each over their opponents, the Leland Giants trimming the Kansas City, Kansas, Giants, one of the crack teams of the West, while the American Giants under the management of Andrew Foster met and conquered the Chicago Giants. Both games were brilliant, well attended and well played. Tuesday and Wednesday the American Giants will meet for the first time this year, the Leland Giants with a two days' contest at Aurora, Illinois, where the Chicago Church Chauantqua is taking place. All of Chicago will be on hand to witness a clash between these two celebrated teams. The interurban line at 5th Avenue and Van Buren runs direct to the grounds. Don't forget the game at Leland Giants' Park Sunday, the 16th, between the great New Orleans Creole Club, under the management of Mr. Walker and Frank Polambo. The Creoles will speak and coach in their native tongue; it will be interesting as well as amusing to hear their coach and see them play. They are the champions of the South and come north to take the scalp of the Giants. A great game is predicted. The Boosters invite everyone to be present. Tonight at the Burlington there will be an executive session of the Boosters to arrange the trip to Aurora on the 11th. All Boosters are commanded to be present. Small Republics. Klein-Alp is a diminutive republic tucked away between Switzerland and France. Only in summer is the republic inhabited, and then by miners and cowgirls. There is one hotel, closed during the winter. Another little republic is in Tyrol, between Austria and Italy, and in long gone years was under the jurisdiction of first a king and then an emperor. But in the adjustment of frontier lines the state of Val di Ventino was in some way overlooked, and it promptly organized itself into a Liliputian republic. It has now about 2,000 inhabitants, living in six villages. Neither Val di Ventino or Klein-Alp have any taxes. There are no officials or compulsory military service. The only industry of Val di Ventino, aside from the farming of small fields, is charcoal burning. Too Much Ceremony A Cincinnati drummer happened to be put at a table at Columbus with a number of legislators, and the courtly way in which they addressed each other greatly bored the commercial traveler. It was: "Will the gentleman from Hardin do this?" and "the gentleman from Franklin do that?" They invariably spoke to each other as the gentleman from whatever county they happened to hall from. For 10 or 15 minutes the drummer bore it in silence. Then he suddenly crushed the statesmen by singing out in stentorian tones to the waiter: "Will the gentleman from Ethiopia please pass the butter!" That ended the "gentleman from" Wagon Built Like a Peanut. "Some very grotesque delivery wagons are turned out nowadays," said an Amberbury carriage manufacturer. "Many owners wish something emblematic of the business they are engaged in. There are wagons shaped like bottles of patent medicines, like shoes, like hats and like clog boxes. There is a man in Old Orchard, Me, whose business is the selling of peanut candy, and he has a delivery wagon built in the shape of a large yellow peanut." Agents' Easy Task. Some people are so easy, a Republic County (Kan.) editor says, that a smart agent could sell them a contagious disease. Fried Onlons or Bacon. As for the report that Bacon killed Shakespeare, a Newton student points out that it is already established that fried onlons killed Napolon. WORK FOR EDUCATION MANY STUDENTS SUPPORT THEMSELVES IN COLLEGE. Statistics Gathered at Princeton University Showing the Varied Occupations That Were Taken Up by the Young Men. Statistics recently gathered at Princeton, show that 40 per cent of the students are working their way through college. This means that of the entire enrollment of 1,442 students 577 are helping themselves to gain an education. These figures include all those who are making money in small and large amounts, and do not mean that the men are not getting outside assistance of a substantial kind. Students paying half their expenses are included in 20 per cent. figures, and those paying their way through without any help from others could be put within the ten per cent. limit. There are scores of ways of making money at Princeton, and the fact that so many students take advantage of them is sufficient evidence that to work a little on the side is considered highly honorable by the student body as a whole, and it explains the further fact, that among those working their way through are some of the most prominent men in college, both in athletics and in scholarship. One of the most popular ways of making enough money to help pay a term bill or keep the recipient in spending money is work on the college publications. Agencies of various kinds—from laundry work to socks that won't tear out—give profitable employment. Three principal laundries doing student work have student representatives. These men are usually athletes, as are those who have clothing and athletic goods agencies. Calendars are sold by students at one dollar aplece and cigarettes, tobacco, steins, pennants, sofa pillows, pipes and the like are offered to the students, but to freshmen especially, at the beginning of every college year. Freshmen carry baskets around, well stocked with pretzels and chocolates. Soft hat men come through the dormitories in the fall and洗 hat men in the spring. Shoes are sold by students, and orders for clothing of various kinds are taken. Program privileges on the occasion of athletic events are frequented, and the advertising thereon yields a good return. Students are agents for typewriters, bicycles, kodaka, golf sticks, caps, canes and the like. The privilege of taking newspaper subscription on the campus is considered a good one. Magazines are represented in Princeton by the score. Pressing establishments yield some money.—New York Times. What She Wanted. "I, for one, am in favor of the bill to abolish the use of aligrettes and paradise" plumes in ladies' hats. I favor this bill not only for moral reasons, but for financial enes as well." The speaker was Col. Lionel C. Harris, the well-known ornithologist of Memphis. He resumed: "The cost of these aligrettes and paradise plumes is a dreadful thing for any husband to contemplate. I saw yesterday a Virot hat covered with aligrettes that was ticketed $200. And that reminds me— "A lady novelist wrote to a publisher last month: "Please send a check in advance of royalties. I want to buy a new hat for a June wedding." "The accommodating publisher sent the lady a check for $50. She acknowledged it indignantly. "I said, she wrote, 'that I wanted a hat, not a vell.'" Art "Criticism." Robert Henri, the well-known New York painter, was condemning a stupid critic. "His interpretations are always wrong." Mr. Henri said. "He always misunderstands totally an artist's conception. He reminds me of the Cinnaminson woman before Millet's 'Angelus." "When the 'Angelus' was on exhibition at Earle's in Philadelphia, a Cinnaminson woman dropped into see it. She gazed with lively interest at the two peasants standing reverently in the sunset glow in the quiet meadow. Then she said: "‘A courtin’ couple, hey. Seem a bit shy, don't they?" Young Worker's Tragic Death Young Worker's Magic Death. The sweep's boy—the "ramourene," has still to work his tortuous way through the chimneys in France and an accident which has just occurred at Fleury-sur-Andelles calls attention to the necessity of putting a stop to the practice. A little Savoyard, named Charles Ravoise, fourteen years of age, was sent up the chimney of a baker and at the end of three-quarters of an hour he had not descended. The alarm was given and the boy was perceived blocked in the chimney, which had to be demolished before his dead body could be freed. He was hanging by the neck, having been caught in a portion of the chimney measuring less than six inches across and asphyxated. Birds for Mosquitoes Experience of the past few days has convinced everybody that the scientific war on the mosquito is a flat failure. Insectivorous birds are the only remedy, and not all of them like mosquitoes. The swallow, which does, is not a street dweller; the night hawk flies high and is a rarity, and the bat is promptly driven out of every house he enters. What's left but to slap and scratch?—Brooklyn Citizen.

With the advent of summer comes the beginning of the period when the distinction and the pleasure of being a guest comes to a great many men and women. With the ready assimilation of the American people we have taken that exotic phrase, the week-end, to our common usage. And whether we are invited to go sailing in a hundred-dollar cab舟, roughing it literally in a shanty called a bungalow, of enjoying the luxurious of a rich friend's country estate, we are all week-ending with the same catholicity of spirit that we show in the national habit of carrying suit cases. Hospitality has two faces—those of the host and the guest. And the most difficult one to present with an attractive men is that of the latter estate. Cheerfulness is the most desirable characteristic of the ideal guest and second to this comes a readiness of spirit to enter any plan for the day or the night's pleasure. The adaptable man or woman is the one dearest to a host's heart, and you may pluck the reward of your entertainer's gratitude by your readiness to wash dishes as by your toiler's of a duck player at tennis or bring. In more luxurious surroundings. We all of us pay our way through the world through other mediums than that of the currency of the realm. None does this more certainly than the guest who leaves a happy memory behind him.—Philadelphia Press.

Not Until Then, Will You Become Really Acquainted With Your Friends. Two households may stand side by side on the same street, two families live within hailing distance of one another for years in the same community, and yet have opposite tastes, sentiments and convictions. The children of each growing up together may marry and, until they reach the period of new adjustment, never suspect how antagonistle has been their early training. This is one reason why the first year of marriage is so beset with brids and thorns. Everybody knows that until people actually dwell under the same roof they do not mutually become acquainted. A single week spent with a friend at a house party does more to promote intimacy or indifference than years of superficial social intercourse. The touch-and-go meetings incidental to teas and receptions are the merest suggestions of personality, but when one sits day after day beside the fire or at the table with a neighbor, each ceasing to be on guard, real understanding begins. Even correspondence, which to a degree is in the nature of revelation, does not make people so well acquainted and is by no means so true a test of disposition and temperament as the test of living together. During courtship and betrothal an engaged pair are on probation. Without effort each displays qualities of charm that cannot fail to be attactive. The most ordinary speech has a flavor of compliment. The future husband and wife are walking through a land of dreams. Shall the dreams come true? They surely will if on both sides there are fixed principles of honor, justice andidelity.-Mrs. Sangster in Woman's Home Companion. A Polite Acknowledgment After a "command" performance in Queen Victoria's time it was the custom for her majesty's secretary to send a letter of thanks to the responsible manager. Sir Henry Ponsonby, upon whom this duty devolved, was the soul of politeness and, not wishing to make any invidious distinction, drew up one form of letter. On the whole this plan worked well, but on one occasion the proprietor of a group of performing geese, which had entertained the royal children at a Windsor garden party, received the following communication from Sir Henry: "Sir—I am instructed by the queen to thank you for your visit of yesterday, and to express the hope that the ladies and gentlemen of your company arrived safely in London and in good health!" Test of Eligibility. Man's right to vote does not rest on respectability or intelligence, but on the very fact that he has been wearing a pair of pants for twenty-one years, and, in all probability, eating or burning up a ton of cheap tobacco.

ABOUT ONE'S ANCESTORS COMING OVER ON THE MAYFLOWER. iconoclast Points Out a Few Facts That Seem to Have Been Overlooked, But They Are Extremely Pertinent. Whenever I see a fellow throwing out his chest like a pouter pigeon and bragging because he thinks his ancestors came over on the Mayflower, it always causes me to break forth in a loud, vulgar chortle of mirth—'haw-haw-haw!'—just like that. That Mayflower joke nearly tickles me to death, and whenever I have chapped hands or a cold sore anywhere near my mouth and hear that boast, I simply laugh and laugh until my face pains me. Do you know, "Mr. Mayflower," there was a time in my freckled career when I labored under the same delusion that now seems to have possession of your goat? Once upon a time my grandfather, in an unguarded moment, imparted to me the priceless information that my ancestors came over on the Mayflower. That made a terrific hit with me and boosted me up at one boost about 75 per cent. in my own estimation. I immediately got the idea, as you have, that I was made of a little bit fluer clay than those with whom I came in daily contact. Why, after I found out that I had the Mayflower strain of blood in my veins, I would hardly speak to my neighbors. When I made new acquaintances I always asked them whether or not their ancestors came over on the Mayflower, and if they didn't, I never spoke to them again. Why, just at the height of my glory an inquisitive clump, who believed that I was made of mud and water, just like other ordinary folks, took the trouble to pry the lid off my ancestry. He went about in a painstaking way to find out just where I came from. I don't care at this time to dwell on the details of his investigation. I will merely admit that when he got back two or three centuries along the ancestry trail he discovered, to my intense amazement and disgust, that one of my forefathers had been hanged in Germany for stealing a horse, and that another old geezer who belonged to my family had been tarred and feathered and ridden on a rail out of a French town for desertion from the army. Not only this, but this chap who was engaged in the task of looking up my ancestry went carefully over the passenger list of those who sailed on the Mayflower, and he found no member of my family was on deck when the boat left the dock. Did you ever pause in your ancestor four-fushing to compare the capacity of the Mayflower with the number of people who boast that their ancestors came over on board her? The Mayflower, you know, was not a very big vessel, and if as many people came across aboard her as we must infer from the boasts of those we meet every day, you can bet your sweet life she was crowded some. All the first-class cabins were filled, they slept layer on layer in the steerage, and they piled 'em six deep on deck. The rigging was fall of hangers-on, while countless others were hanging on on their eyebrows from the vessel's rail. The members of the crew could hardy get about the boat in their duties without stepping on a Mayflower ancestor, and they must have cussed something fierce. Some of those on board were stowaways, and hid themselves in the hold among the cargo, while others, in their ambition to become Mayflower ancestors, worked their passage across by holystoning the deck, patching sails, bailing out blige water and doing other mental services unbecoming to a Mayflower ancestor. The wonder is that the poor old Mayflower was not swamped in mid-ocean. Do you know, sir, that if all those who it is claimed came over in the Mayflower were launched together, they could not begin to get on board the Lusiana?—Newton Newkirk, in Boston Post. Dartmouth Has a New Idea Dartmouth college is undertaking an interesting social experiment in New Hampshire. A team of five or six representative students are sent around through the rural communities within a reasonable radius of the college. Their mission is not evangelization, but the promotion of sociability. The team includes a man who is able to "supply" the pulpit of the village church and deliver a simple and earnest sermon. Other members of the little embassy can sing or play some instrument, enhancing the attractiveness of the Sunday services and contributing to bucolic galery on week-day evenings. Concerts, plays, debates, minstrel shows, field days and carnivals of all sorts are organized—anything that will bring the members of isolated mountain communities into contact with the legitimate recreative influences that are enjoyed by those who live in larger places. This instruction brings a whole neighborhood together and sociability and true neighborliness are promoted. Icelanders' Gloves. In so cold a climate as iceland the glove must be put off or on as rapidly and easily as possible; so it is made without fingers, and in order that no time may be wasted in distinguishing between right and left all gloves have two thumbs. You simply thrust your hand into the first glove that comes and your thumb immediately finds its way. There are, of course, drawbacks in the matter of appearance, for the dangling idle thumb looks untidy.—London Chronicle. Books the True University "The true university of these days," says Carlyle, "is a collection of books." The man who is not brought into intimate contact with books in his youth, who has not learned to love them and how to use them; suffers a loss which it is almost impossible to make good. Pair Will Tour Europe and Take In Best Hotels of England and Continent on Gratitudes. Chicago—Tips! A small word, 'its true, but a wondrous one when it spells a trip to Europe in the style of a Morgan or a Vanderbilt, or even a Pittsburgh millionaire. John Henry William Rehm and Henry von Hammison, walters at the Bismarck hotel, the other night announced their intention of forsaking their tables for a season and sailing away on board the Lusitania for a month's tour of England and the continent. They will occupy one of the regal suites on the ship and will put up at the Carlton when they reach London. "Yes, the Chicago public has been liberal with us," said Von Hannison as he counted the day's takings, "and now Rehm and I intend to find out for ourselves whether it is the tipper or the tipper who gets more pleasure out of the operation of the world-old custom. No, our hands are not yet calloused from handling the dollars of Chicago diners, but this thing of everything coming in and nothing going out is calculated to tire men of our spirit." Von Hammann and Rehm have been employed at the Bismarck for several years and have many friends among the patrons. They have been thrifty, according to their statements, and the trip abroad will be financed solely from the proceeds of their industry as garners of the humble tip. Some years ago a Chicago railroad president took a fancy to a waiter in the old Fifth avenue hotel in New York and took him to Europe as his guest. Van Hammann and Rehm, however, will pay their own way and travel strictly first-class. "We expect to tip just as liberally as any of our traveling companions," Von Hammann declared, "and I have an idea that our Chicago experience will stand us in good stead. We ought to know just about the right thing to do. No vulgar display will be made. We shall hand the servitor the right amount and no more." MAN SHOULD EAT FOOD RAW Only Animal on Face of Earth That Destroys Value by Cooking—Raw Peas Are Delicious. London.—"Man is the only animal on the face of the earth who cooks his food and therefore destroys its value." Dr. Robert Bell said in a lecture on "Man's Natural Diet," delivered at the Caxton hall in connection with the Simple Life exhibition. "If only we would take a lesson from wild animals by adopting the diet which nature has provided for us we should have a better, healthier and longer life." But Doctor Bell does not advocate that mere man should imitate the tiger in the manner of his meals. "All flesh diet should be banned," he says, "and our food should consist entirely of vegetables, fruits, cereals and these cooked as little as possible." Doctor Bell would have children brought up in this way. He believes that children would be satisfied with wholegood bread, raw vegetables and fruit for their dinner and never crave for any other food if they were informed that it is good for their health and conducive to a green old age. Doctor Bell strongly recommends raw peas as a delicious and healthy dish. But he does not believe that nature. Intends man to eat grass; his teeth are not adapted to it. The lecturer added that every human being ought to attain an age of at least one hundred and twenty-eight years. "That there are so few centenarians among us," he said, "can certainly be attributed to our going against nature's decrees. GET LONG-DISTANCE KISSES Relatives Held at Arm's Length, for Entire Crew and Passengers Were Vaccinated at Sea. New York.—"Ouch! don't touch me!" was the united cry of 350, who arrived cured of a smallpox scare, but one and all thoroughly vaccinated, aboard the White Star Liner Celtic, which arrived at Naples. Every "ouch" was genuine and the cries in male and feminine tones were heard in 16 different languages on the pler. Husbands rushing to embrace their wives were imperiously held back and wives hastening to fall into their husbands' arms were received in the unvaccinated wing. But in the rush and confusion dozens of arms were josted and cries of pain arose on all sides. The vaccination bee was due to the discovery of a first cabin passenger suffering from a rash three days out from Naples. Ship's Surgeon Hopper warned the passengers and thereafter was a busy man. "They kept coming for three days," said Surgeon Hopper, in telling of the wholesale vaccination. Captain Hambleton and the officers and crew also submitted their arms to the test. . Stop Short Weight Montpeller, Vt.-Purchasers of the genuine Vermont maple sugar and strap another year will not get short weight or measure, as the case may be, if the state of Vermont can help it. The other day a corps of inspectors under Commission of Weights and Measures Hugh A. Henry of Chester made a tour of the state examining and sealing all weights and measures used in all lines. Commissioner Henry is acting under a law passed at the last session of the legislature. $10 Fine Makes Dumb Swear New Rochelle, N. Y.-So enraged was Albert Allen, a deaf and dumb soap paddler, when Judge Samuel A. Swinburne fined him $10 for peddling without a license that he swore. He was so astounded at recovering his voice that he stared wildly at the judge, then without waiting to apologize for the cuss words he threw down a ten dollar bill and rushed from the court room shouting and laughing, leaving a pack of soap behind. RECORDS OF ANTIQUITY INSCRIPTIONS THAT TELL ABOUT LIFE IN FORMER AGE. Religious Forms, Business Methods, Historical Events and Many Other Things Revealed by Carvings in Stone and Metal. Inscriptions by no means are the product of modern learning. The ancients left 150,000 that have been resurrected, translated and printed, not counting the epitaphs on ordinary graves of thousands of years ago, which are not deemed worth the trouble. Ancient peoples—Sabaeans, Phoenicians, Etruscans, Gascans, Umbrians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Numidians, Germanic tribes, Iberians, Celts, Norse—all carved their records in stone and metal. Paper was not as common in those days as now. The permanent records thus left include religious forms, business accounts, royal proclamations and boasts of deeds accomplished, epitaphs, mortuary tablets, altars, temples, aqueducts, tax receipts, etc. Evidently property was not safe in the old days and they had the habit of writing on seals, gems, vases and other brickabrac by way of identifying them. Both in this country and abroad scholars devote much of their time to deciphering theseute records of the past, and it is quite likely that the successors to our population—if such there shall be—will find information in the Ellot inscriptions for their learned tomes. In France, along with other academies, they have one of the inscriptions, which is preparing books of the Greek and Latin relics by photography. The experts began this job in 1881. In 1868 Mommens and Huebner, the great historians, projected a similar task under the Berlin academy and at last accounts the savants who are continuing their labors were still collecting. They have published many volumes and have preserved some 10,000 of the 20,000 extant Greek inscriptions. It is a great part that the carved words of bygone ages has played in modern knowledge. The finding of the Rosetta stone with its identical message in both Egyptian and Greek provided the clew that unlocked the mysteries of the Nilene delta's early history. Some of the languages and most of the history of Asia Minor has been preserved by the same method. Also some years ago at Hsun Ghorab on the Arabian coast, there was found a stone, which being decliphered, proclaimed, according to some, that the apple which Eve gave to Adam and thus made us all work for a living wasn't an 'apple, but a pomegranate. Earth's oldest inscription belonged to the Phoenicians once, and was hewn out some 3,000 years ago, being a dedicated bronze vessel for the temple of Baal Lebanon by Hiram, king of the Sidonians. It was found in Cyprus and is now in the Louvre museum at Paris. Puzzle for German Police A curious obstacle has intervened to prevent the decapitation of a man who was recently sentenced to death at Posen, Germany, for murder. The condemned man called himself Jacob Kinzle, and had the usual papers of identification made out in this name. Under it he had served several terms of imprisonment for theft, and no one doubted that it was his own name till after he had been adjudged to lose his head. It then came to the knowledge of the police that the real Jacob Kinzle is at present farming in South Africa, where he is highly respected; and that his papers were stolen from him some years ago. Under German law, however, nobody can be executed till his identity has been properly established, and the authorities are completely at a loss as to the real name and parentage of their doomed captive. He, not unnaturally, steadily declines to provide them with the information that will enable them to proceed with the operation of cutting off his head. Blindness of Justice Rastus was on trial, charged with stealing $7.85. He pleaded not guilty, and, as he was unable to hire an attorney, the judge appointed Lawyer Clearem as counsel. Clearem put up a strong plea in defense, and Rastus was acquitted. Counsel and client met a few minutes later outside the courtroom. "Now, Rastus," said Clearem, "you know the court allows the counsel very little for defending this kind of case. I worked hard for you and got you clear. I'm entitled to much more pay than I'm getting for my valuable services, and you should dig up a good-sized fee. Have you got any money?" "Yes, boss," replied Rastus, "I still done got dat seben dollars and eighty-five cents." Hume and the Saints David Hume's residence in the New Town of Edinburgh was the first building in a new street and a witty young lady chalked up on the walls "St. David street," alluding to the owner. Hume's servant girl resented such a reference to her master and hurried into the house to inform how he had been made game of. "Never mind, lassle," said Hume, "many a waur man has been made a saint before." The authorities adopted the young lady's suggestion, for the thoroughfare is so named to this day. There is another version of the philosopher's reply to his housekeeper as we have heard it: "Never mind, many a better man has been made a saint before me." Starting Badly. "Look here," exclaimed young Mr. Cotter Tartar, in desolation, "is this or is it not a wedding tour?" "Why of course," snapped young Mrs. C. T. "It's our wedding tour. What on earth did you think it was?" "Well, I'm beginning, to think it's a lecture tour. Now out it out, see?" "Toledo Blade." "HE WHO TRUSTS to luck will not be lucky.

DAVID District Manager, 3705 State Street NOW OPEN FOR WRIGHT TAIL 3142 STATE Pressing and Repairing. Work called WEAPON OF THE PAMPAS WRIGHT & BLACK TAILORS Primitive, but Formidable, is the Bola. Effectively Used by the Patagonians. In pre-equine days, terminating with the Spanish invasion, these sons of the pampas lived a much more athletic existence; for today the Tehuaculé, like the gaucho, will not walk a hundred yards if his horse is close at hand, and it usually is. To the horse is probably due the disappearance of the sling and the bow and arrow, as well as the more prevalent use of that unique and characteristic weapon of the pampas, the bolleadores, or belas. This consists of two or three rawhide-covered balls, connected by rawhide, to be swung around the head, and hurried from the saddle by one of the balls, slightly egg-shaped, called the manlita, or hand-ball, with the result that the quarry is entangled around the legs, and incidentally struck and pounded by the balls themselves. The more primitive bolas were round stones, to which rawhide guanaco thongs were attached in a groove. Later these were covered with rawhide for horses, and the lines doubled, and now many bola leathers are filled with shot or iron. Three-balled bolas are used for horses, while two balls serve for estrich and sometimes guanaco, which are bolased about the neck. A single ball, called the bola perdida (least ball), with an attached string, used as a hurling-stone, was undoubtedly the most primitive form of this formidable weapon. Horses are never boladed by a man on foot, for the obvious reason that they must be taught not to fear a man coming thus, this precaution enabling a lone dismounted man to approach his horse.—Charles W. Furlong, F.R.G.S., in Harper's Magazine. Bluff Outie Like Men "No, sir," said the showman, "animal trainers are not what they need to use. I am not speaking of the elephant men—they've got to deliver the goods just as I had to, when I was handling the elephants. But take the lions and tigers in the old days there was no kindergarten school for them. They were handlers over to us when they were three foots tall, years old, full grown, and with a full knowledge of the goods they could deliver. "That was the kind of animal we had to train. "Did we go right into the cage with them? No; we weren't quite so rash. We sized the animal up first. A lion or a tiger is a good deal like a man. The one that walks up and down the cage and growls and looks ugly can be counted on to be a bluff. The one that you want to look out for is the one that suks and lies back in his corner and doesn't say anything. When you get into the cage with a critter like that he is not apt to say much. He simply does things." "He is generally known as a hard-headed business man, isn't he?" "Yes." "There's something I wish you would explain, if you can. What is it that causes a hard-headed business man to pay money to a woman whose nails need manicuring—a woman whose general appearance is slovenly and who evidently finds it difficult to make ends meet—why, I say, should a hard-headed business man go to such a woman for the purpose of getting her to tell his fortune—to give him pointers concerning the management of his affairs—to tell him when to buy and when to sell?" "Oh, thunder! You might as well ask me to tell you a woman who knows perfectly well that you are lying when you tell her she is beautiful keeps tempting you to repeat it and finally gets to hating your wife." Would Not Look Pleasant It took two attorneys and a doctor at Erie all the afternoon one day recently to take a photograph of a mule. They wanted Mr. Mule's picture to use in a lawsuit against the Katey railroad. It seems the mule tried to kick an engine off the track and failed, or something like that. The owner of the mule sued for damages and the attorneys and doctor thought the best way to secure judgment was to take a photograph of the mule and its injuries to exhibit to the jury. So they went out to the farm with a camera and the mule was so restless that it took them all the afternoon to get the picture. It has now been demonstrated that a motorcycle comes off second best in a collision with an automobile. The question has interested many persons who have had to step lively in crossing the asphalt. A wife in Atlanta had her husband arrested because he refused to kiss her. Husbands are getting very fractions these days, and advanced femininity is finding it necessary to drive them back into harness. Inexplicable. Is Your Earning Power income?

A schoolmaster was taking a class of boys in geography, the lesson being the islands of the world. The boys were asked to give the name of any island which came to their minds, but their knowledge had reached its limit, and the class had come to a standfall so far as islands were concerned. "Come, boys," said the master. "Is there no one here who can give me the name of another island?" But no answer came from the class. "Now, then," said he. "to help you a little. Supposing I were a piece of land, and all around (painting) was water. What island should I represent? The answer he expected, of course was, "The isle of Man."

INSURANCE AGAINST KIDNAPING The mother whose life is passed in fairly comfortable circumstances and whose baby can take the air without risk, danger or even too close supervision will read with acute interest of the trials and panics to which parents among the conspicuously rich may become a prey. The kidnapping of the babies of the inordinately wealthy would seem to be advancing to the status of a business—if a new feature in the activities of a London insurance company which stands ready to insure against almost everything is to be taken as a sign, says the Chicago Record-Herald. An infant child of many American millions is the "risk" proposed, and is to be accepted as such only in condition that it take the air in a steel cage and under the guard of several detectives. Is wealth, under such conditions, to be desired? Is prominence, on such terms, worth while? A study of such a deal, on the part of ambitious young parents who have become restive under the too slow approach of wealth and celebrity, might go far toward reconciling them to a state of comparative poverty and inconspicuousness. Their babies do not have to breathe the air of heaven through iron gratings and they themselves are not kept at constant tension through the terrors of a pitiless imagination. The "middling lot" really has its compensations. We are now getting intelligence that will add to the charm of farming and gardening and magnify the ideals of the city follow who dreams of the delicious flavor of rural life. It has been discovered, through experiments in Scotland, that the application of electricity to a garden bed will make the lettuce, the cucumbers, the peas, the tomatoes, the beets, etc., grow furiously and increase the yield from 20 to 100 per cent. The time for the things to come up, after the seed is put in the ground, is reduced at least one-half. The application of the electricity can be done by putting some electric lights over the bed or discharging high-tension electricity from a system of overhead wires. There is scientific reason for this sort of horticulture. Electricity is a powerful and permeating fluid, and it is particularly effective in promoting plant life. --- Ohio has more colleges than any other state. It requires special, endeavor to raise one institution into fame above its rivals, when so many exist. The boys of West Lafayette college achieved this distinction by putting oil into the milk of the girls' dormitory. Twenty girls were made violently ill. Some day civilization will be so general that it will exist even among college students. Magnus Alexander, commissioner from Massachusetts of workingmen's compensation, announces that "an average man can decently support a family of five on $600 a year." We assume that Magnus does not regard a touring car or an electric runabout as a strictly necessary concomitant to decent living. Chauffeurs arrested a second time in Atlantic City for speeding will lose their Licenses. Some such drastic measure must be taken in all large communities against this new danger of civilization, or next time the census will have to be padded everywhere. Thoughtless individuals often accuse newspapers of printing falsehoods, but here is a little story from a Michigan paper that can't be questioned: "She was left a widow through the death of her husband." If it is necessary to get up at six o'clock every morning to reach the age of one hundred and one, we are satisfied to linger the traditional three score and ten years in this world and let it go at that. By virtue of a new law New Jerseyites are liable to a fine of $10 for every mosquito they raise. Another blow at the most popular pastime in New Jersey. A girl who can bear up under the strain of a breach of promise suit is hardy enough to stand almost anything—even a campaign in vaudeville. It appears that the harem skirt has died a natural death. Though short its career it managed to make a good many broilers famous. Krupp engineers have patented an aerial torpedo for carrying on war in the air. Blessed are the peace-makers. During March the fire loss in this country aggregated $31,000,000. As a nation we're still far from fire-proof. Three cheers for the red, white and blue! Fashion has decreed they are the colors for this year. If the harem skirt wins out it will have to fight every inch of the way. Nearly every man is willing to lend you his ears but not his money. UNBUSINESSLIKE BUSINESS. The New York state employers' liability commission has submitted a carefully prepared report showing a fearful waste of human life in industrial pursuits. Some loss of life in modern industry may be reckoned as unavoidable, but the far greater proportion of the loss which is sustained is the result of unnecessary conditions. It is the direct result of a lack of safety appliances and of overworking employees to the point of physical exhaustion. It is a result of unjust liability laws and legislative negligence, says the Kansas City Times. If sentiment has no place in business—an untenable proposition in itself—at least business ought to be business-like. It is demonstrably not good business to permit avoidable killing of industrial workers and then spend vast sums in caring for families bereft of natural support. It is not good business, even though the children are not neglected, with the chances in favor of their becoming vicious or idle citizens. Strieter employers' liability, an automatically applied workmen's compensation for injury or death, and direct industrial insurance are all insurance measures. They provide funds for the support of injured workmen or of their wives and children. They also encourage safety provisions. Such insurance costs would be diffused among all the people—as taxes and fire insurance or diffused—by being added to the cost of the business. That diffused cost would be a practical impalpable burden upon society. There has been much talk regarding the selection of a national flower. Has it all been wasted? The Brooklyn Eagle remarks upon the indisputable fact that there is no authority in the Constitution for the selection of a national flower. However, a great many things have come to be in this country without specific constitutional authority. There is, for instance, a national bird, the American eagle. There is "Uncle Sam" and there is "Miss Columbia," with no authority for either, except the self-assured authority of the cartoonists. But these are things upon which everybody is agreed. There is not likely to be a national flower until everybody is agreed upon it. In the meantime, fortunately, the country can afford to wait. Before leaving Chicago for Detroit, Rev. Joseph Anderson Vance declared that to be, with the possible exception of San Francisco, the wickedest city in the world. It might be suggested to the reverend gentleman that there are as many "wickedest cities" as there are cities with "the finest water supply in the world." It would take an expert to decide between them. There is to be established in Boston a hospital in which none but rich people will be provided for. Nurses who expect to get jobs there will probably have to pay bonuses for their berths. Another ship is ashore on the Alaska coast. Congress may some day deem it advisable to remove the Alaska coast for the benefit of seagoing people A dentist removed part of a woman's tongue in extracting a tooth. Out of the stand-bys about a woman's tongue some passable comment may be selected. We have no doubt that the new cobweb skirt will be responsible for many a merry paragraph. A paragrapher generally resembles a drowning man grasping at a straw. General Humidity has arrived in our fair city. He expects to make frequent visits here during the next two or three months. New York's new $10,000,000 public library will make a splendid ornament, but it is not likely to interfere with the business of roof gardens. The report that a New York taxicab company is losing money leads one to suspect that certain persons are eligible to the Ananias club. A hippopotamus may not be a thing of beauty, but he is a fine drawing card in a circus. Ireland is still decreasing in population, but the pace is less rapid than it was about fifty years ago. The Toledo Blade's idea of hades is to be broke 10,000 miles from home. Ours is to be broke in Toledo. More gold has been struck in Alaska, but it's easier money running one of those ice cream perambulators. Detroit, by the way, makes a speciality of playing baseball.
