A Wisconsin Prelate's Property.

Milwaukee Special. A suit WAS be-
gun to-day in the circuit court of Grant
county, this state, which will attract a
great deal of attention throughout the
state, as well as elsewhere. The plain
tlffs in the case are eleven in numcer
and the defendant is Mary Caroline
Fries, mother superior of the large con-
vent in this city of the school of Sisters
of Notre Dame. The plaintiffs are all
heirs of one Charles Joseph Francis
Schraudenbach, Catholic priest, who
lived prior to his death in Grant
county. The complaint alleges that
the said priest left property svalued
at $125, 600, which he "amassed by tax
title speculations, foreclosures of mort
cages, close monetary investments and
a penurious disposition;" that through
the Vaccination of one Mary B. A.
Schraudenbach, niece of the priest,
who acted as housekeeper for him, the
property was wrongfully willed to va
rious Catholic institutions, the one over
which the defendant has control receiv-
ing the largest share. There were made
over to the defendant ten farms in Hous-
tOu COHAIys MILL, ciSnl laTHlS IN Ufant
county, Wis, and some fifty-five mort
cages on real estate. The plaintiffs
claim that inasmuch as Mary B. A.
Schraudenbach used undue and per-
nicious influence with intent to defraud
them, the assignment of the property to
the convent should be set aside and the
property Of the priest divided equally
between the heirs. The plaintiffs ask
also that. pending settlement of the
matter, a receiver be appointed to take
charge of the property.

A New Industry.

There seems to be an exorbitant value
attached to small boys in Brooklyn. At
least such will be the universal opinion
if the Brooklyn man who sued schoo
teacher for spanking his small boy, and
laid his damages at 5000, should be
successful. Few persons will believe
that the man has been damaged to the
extent of $1,000 by the spanking of his
small boy. No matter how highly he
may estimate his boys services, it is un-
reasonable to suppose that he was de-
plived of them for period sufficiently
long to make his loss equivalent to 49,
600. Let it be conceded, for the sake of
argument, that the boy could not sit
down for six consecutive months. He
could still have rendered to his father all
the services which small boy is ordin-
arily capable of rendering, and the
parents loss would not have amounted
to any appreciable sum-much less to
$1,000. If the suit proves successful
there is not boy in Brooklyn school
who will not clamor to be spanked. At
not be stretched beyond five minutes, at
least by any female teacher. If boy
can make 5000 in five minutes he can
support his family in affluence by Two
yearly spankings. AS for the boy who
should secure a daily anking-as al
most any boy of average ability and con-
scientious devotion to duty corld do
he would make his father a millionaire.
II is hardly probable, however, that the
plaint,ff in the SUIT now pending will re-
cover 5000. When our courts estimate
a mans life to be worth only $500, they
can hardly with consistency value the
spanking of small boy at $3,0O0.-New

No Scandal About Susan.

American beauty has not exposed her.
self to the offensive gossip which has
followed the career of her sisters in Lon
don society. Miss Chamberlayne has
won notoriety as woman ofuncommon
beauty, which must be unpleasant to
person of sensibility and refinement.
Miss Detchoh, the latest "American
beauty is IN the hands of profession
a! society woman who makes use, in her
case, of the same arts which gave Lang
try her unenviable notoriety, and Miss
Anderson has aroused no end of talk by
her treatment of the prince of Wales.
The person whom the Times regards as
tho pleasing exception to the generality
of American beauties is Miss Susan b.
Anthony. No great flourish oftrumpets
preceded her arrival in London. She
did not put herself into the hands of q
professional leader OF society to be
drought out" She did not seek. the
acquaintance of the prince Of Wales,
and they have not been seen to sether
on the subtle drives or in his box ct the
theatre. Pursuing, on the contrary, 4
quiet and modest course, she has escaped
the rude stares of curious crowds and
the gossip which no right minded wom-
an, however beautdul, cares TO excite.

There is complaint throughout the
country that it is difficult to find carpen-
tiers enough. 1t comes from Boston,
Springfield, New York, Philadelphia
and many other cities. At Washington
there was never known SO much build
ing at once and the official reports show
that 2,sl5 new buildings have been
projected the past year. In many of
the country towns east and west, build
ing has been proportionately as lively
as in the cities, and the almost universal
report in the larger towns and villages
is that there is great demand for more.
There are many workmen, who are
dubbed "wood-butchers" on account
of incompetency, but good carpenters
are the men that are Away in demand.
Carpentry is one of the most honorable
and dignifed of trades and boys who
are willing to work with their hands
and are ambitious enough to learn the
trade thoroughly have pretty certain
promise of success before them in thai
trade.

A correspondent OF an eastern paper

A correspondent OF an eastern paper
who has spent twenty years west Of the
Mississippi, principally on the Pacific
coast, says that after calm and delib-
crate survey of the subject he is of the
opinion that the star of empire will ney-
er move west of the Missouri river, that
the people of the east will ever hold
the balance of power in these United
States. Thousands of miles of territory
in the Rocky mountain regions and in
the Sierra Nevada range are doomed to
perpetual barrenness by reason of the
peculiar conformation of the country,
and especially for the lack of necessary
supplies of water. Moreover, when the
mining resources of this region are ex-
hausted its principal source of wealth is
gone, and with it goes one of the great
est elements of power. But in the face
of these few disadvantages, he is per-
suaded that the Pacific coast will always
present q grand field for thought and
enterprise,

Business on the Pacific coast is not
what 1t was six months ago, particularly
in Oregon and in Washington territory.
Owing to the completion of the North
ern Pacific railroad, and other causes, a
very large number of laborers and me-
chanics have been discharged, and this
has affected general trade and industry.
Portland, Oregon, is filed with unem-
ployed people, many of whom lack the
means to get to their eastern homes.
But this state of things will not last long.
Every new country has to pass through
just such experiences before business
settles down to steady basis. Of Port
land, sit is said to be the wealthiest city
of its size in America. Its streets a nd
squares are projected on magnificent
scale, and it commands large share of
trade and commerce both by land and
water. The largest ocean steamers find
easy entrance to its fine harbor."

distance from the heart of the city must
frequently have noticed lack Of accord
between readings of their own standard
Thermometers and the published obser-

it to the Weather Bureau that this par
ticular source of error was not long since
recognized and avoided. The remarks
Of Prof. Whitney on this subject, as ap-
piled to observations made at London,
are pertinent and convincing. He says:
alt is q we'll known fact that cities are
considerably warmer than the more
thinly inhabited country otherwise, un-
der similar climatic conditions. Statis-
tics prove that this is true; and there
would be no doubt that such would be
the effect of an immediate aggregation
of population within limited space,
even if there were no statistics bearing
on this question. Many millions of tons
of coal are burned in and about big cit
les during every year. and the whole
mass of brick OF which the city Is built is
heated during the entire winter, and
more or less in the summer, many de-
grees above the natural temperature.

lions such az here indicated vitiate all
observations made in or near large cities
