Inventors ought TO find n good field

tho demand for cheap fuel now felt al.
over the country for railway, mining,
and other industrial purposes, some eff
fective method can be devised TO make
practical use of its heat producing quail
tiles; burning it, perhaps, after reduc-
ing it to n liquid or vaporized form.
The inventor of such process could
command handsome fortune for tho
use of the right in this country. The

OF all the laoor-saving implements

.Medill's Methods.

Before the senate committee on labor and
education Joseph Medill, publisher of the Chi
cago Tribune, testified. He thought the chief
cause OF the impecuniOus condition Of the
masses OF laborers In This country was their
own improvidence. They should be taught to
save anu not waste. They spend too much in
liquor aud tobacco The money annually spent
by the laboring population In drink was $780,
OOO,OOO and In tobacco and useless amusements
at least $2O, OO0,OO0. Witness thought some
means should be obtained for uniformity In
railroad rates. Under the present uncertainty
oil rates, grain In thu west was kept In a con-
tinual 1erment, and the situation was tho
means OF running many merchants. This ap-
piled to other commodities as we'll Railroads
should not be allowed TO exercise the power OF
arbitrarily changing the values Of all the pro-
ducts OF the country. Both state and federal
legislation should be employed to remedy this
evil. This was the only country In the world
which permitted railroads to exercise the arbi.
trary power OF charging whatever traffic would
bear.

THE Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
in an able article advocating industrial
education, shows that by strange per-
version of reasoning the working peO-
pie themselves would probably be

labor associations 10 restrict the num-

ual dexterity common to all. This is
doubtless so, and it serves to show that
rades-unionism, with all its pretentions,
is far from solving he labor problem.
1t is at best only organized selfshness,
and something far different is needed to
advance the cause of labor.

SEVERAL young ladies of Jersey City,
daughters of well-to-do business men,
have adopted novel manner of trying
TO secure q husband. These young la
dies have pledged themselves to sweep
of the front stoop and walk every morn
ing between the hours of six and seven,
in order to show the young men what
industrious wives they will make. These
young ladies are nightly mistaken, if
they think the young men whom they
wish to captivate are abroad as early in
the morning as that. Not by any means.

THE TRAGEDY SURROUNDED BY
MYSTERY.
Cornelius Allies. drug store clerk in
the employe of w. III. Prittie & Co. of
Detroit, in their uptown store, located
at the junction of Sibley street, Cass
avencu and Clifford street, was shot by
IN unknown assassin about IL O'Clock
Saturday night, Sept. %. When The
n ighbors who had been aroused by the
firing of a revolver, reached the spot,
his face and head were found to be
covered with blood, and the boards of
the walk were wet and stained
with blood. Life was not
yet extinct, but evidently fast ebbing
away. Lying on the ground near him
were the key to the store and a small
vial of t0oth-achc medicine. The con-
dition of Allies as to his clothing indicat-
ed that he had either been called up to
fill II prescription or had been taken i'll
and got up u obtain some medicine for
himself. He had on his coat and pants.
but no vest or white shirt; simply an
undershirt He wore his shoes, but one
stocking was absent. His straw hat
was lying by his side. An examination
showed that he had received bullet
wound at the back of the head, little
to the left of the center and about the
hight of the ear. An effort was made
to have the young man speak, but the
bullet had done its work, and the young
man died in a few minutes.
The sleeping room of Allies vas just
over the drug store, and the only occu-
pied room in the building. The coroner
made thorough survey of the apart
ment, finding that the bed had been oc-
cupied, the covers being partly thrown
back as they would be naturally left by
man getting up. His white shirt was
thrown over chair in o closet. and the
missing sock was OH the floor Just under
the bed. Otherwise the room was in
perfect order No light has been
thrown on the murder The theory OF
suicide is entirely oIt of the question
and until the fearful tragedy happened
IL was not known that the yonng man
had an enemy. The entire detective
force of the city are at work upon the
case. and every clue is being closely
followed.

Law for the Farmers.

In his address to the Kent Count,
Farmcrs' Club, Judge Parish. speakn.
of the town common law" said: Th,
common law is a system of rules
which have been adopted by the univer
sal consent and immemorial practice o
the people, without receiving the ex
press authority Of the Legislative power
1t is derived from the common law o.
England and the practice and decision:
of our own courts. 1t is to be found il
the reported decisions of the courts
and in the written volumes of eminent
jurists and law-writers like Kent, Storey
Cooley, and others. The rules are sup
posed TO be founded upon the divine at
tributes of truth and justice; and the
nearer we approach to these attributes,
in our dealings with our fellow-men,
the nearer we act in accordance with
the precepts of the common law.
Speaking of the relation of the farm
or and his hired man, the Judge said:
These are mainly regulated by the
common law. Your obligations re-
specting your hired man are not con-
fined to the simple pay ment of his stip-
ulated wages by any means. AS gen.
eral rule you are liable for any injury
occasioned by the negligence or unskiil-
fulness of your hired man in the course
of his employment,a and sometimes even
| where he goes contrary to your orders.
In one case where hired man drove
his employers team along public
street so negligently that it came in col
lision with carriage, and thereby
caused the horses attached to take fright
and run away, doing serious damage. il
was held that the employer was liable
So when farmer sent his hired man
TO CUT TIMBER
In designated direction upon his land
and the hired man inadvertently cut
timber upon the land of an adjoining
neighbor, it was held that the farmer
was liable for the trespass. So when
one sent his son for his cattle in n lcer-
tain pasture, and the boy not only
brought home his fahter's cattle, but
two of bis neighbours heifers, it was
held that the father was liable. So when
man was employed To clean out GER
tain garnet. carelessly threw keg out
of the window which fell on the head of
boy and injured him. So when hir-
ed man in the course of his employment
obstructed the highway, from which q
traveller received an injury, the en-
ployer was held liable for damages.
SOMETIMES THE CURRENT
OF the common law changes. IL may
run for many years in certain direc-
ton, until finally some man of common
sense and superior genius will discover
that ], works injustice in certain cases
and will demonstrate 1t with course
of reasoning that is irresistible that 1t Is
liable 20 work iDjuriously This result
will be change in the opinion of
courts and eminent writers. For more
than two hundred years IL was held i'm
ell the courts, both in England and in
this country. that II one hired man
for certain time and
lie QUIT BEFORE HIS TIME
Was out without good cause. he could
not recover wages for what time be had
actually worked; that having broken
his contract he could recover no COM
pensation. Some fifty years ago n
farmer in New Hampshire hired
n man for year. The man
