Sir David Brewster was born at Jed
burgh, Scotland. December IL, 1871.
His father was rector of the grammar
school, and a teacher of considerable
reputation, whom neighborhood fame
characterized as 1.-The best Latin
scholar and the quickest temper in
Scotland;" but he was kindly withal.
1t was intended that David should be-
come minister, and he was sent to
the University of Edinburgh, to be edu-
Gated with view to that profession,
when only twelve years old. His tastes
had, however, even before this time,
turned into another direction. 1t is re-
, corded of his earlier school-days that
though he was never seen to pore over
his books Ike the other boys, he al
ways had his lessons, kept prominent
place in his classes, and was frequently
applied to by his fellow-pupils for as
sistance. And it was in the days of his
childhood '.that dilapidated pane of
glass in an upper window of his fathers
house produced the inquiring thoughts
which led him afterward to search into
the mysteries of refracted light"

Scott has mentioned as "self-taught

trade, but was well yersed in astro-
nomical calculations and observations,

great comet of 1911. and was in his
most congenial pursuit when he was
making telescopes. a work to which he
brought much mechanical skill and sci

Minnie Madden, who is to appear at the
Grand Tomorrow evening in Caprice" has
evidently won the hearts OF the critics of the
press The Detroit Free Press says: "She is
original, artistic, fresh and pleasing, with a
joyous and sunny animation" In Caprice
there is not dull speech, and the acting is
Virile and swift. Comedy predominates, and
brightness is a striking characteristic of the
production" Miss Maddern's power is grace
fully allied TO much that is winsome and
sweet and charming. She is lith, graceful,
agile, and every action is suggestive of the
poetry of motion, and her step so light that
she fairly seems to be walking on air"
Next Saturday evening the talented
trsgedisn, Mr. Frederick Warde will appear
at the Grand in ''Virgiuius," under the
auspices of Springfield Division, No. 6, Uni

"the legitimate" will thus be afforded feast.

Officcr Record as a Club Swlnger.

About midnight last night officer Record
had a terrible tussle with young tough
named Mike Doyle, commonly known as
"Beasly." Doyle is the same fellow who was
engaged in prize fight with Ned Palmer
last summer, in which Palmer was badly
beatea. Last night Doyle walked up Market
street, a little worse for liquor. Officer Record
saw him and told him to go kome. Instead
Doyle proceeded to Curtis restaurant and
saloon just above the railroad and knocked
Thinking it was Mr.. Curtis, who had gone
out those inside opened the door and Doyle
forced his way in. Curtis returned moment
later and ordered Doyle out, but he refused
to go. Officer Record was called and at
tempted to arrest Doyle but the latter showed
fight, and as the officer expressed it: "He
hurried me for few minutes" The
two fought for several minutes, but officer
Record finally got out his club and knocked
Doyle down. The latter kept on fighting,
however, and it wss not until officer Record
broke his club over the prisoners head
that he yielded. The patrol wagon was
called and the prisoner taken to the station
house on the charges of drunkenness, disor-
derly conduct, and resisting an officer. Doyle
was pretty badly beaten up. Those who wit
messed the fight all agree that Gus Williams
can't beat officer Record at club swinging.

An INDUSTRIAL ADVAkCE.
The New Machine Works-Part of the
Champion Steel Works Leased by the
Proprietor-Other Enterprises

Champion Steel Works Leased by the
Proprietor-Other Enterprises.
A brief statement was made ia Saturdays
GLoBE-REPUBLIC regarding the location here
| coming from Fulton, New York, of a long
established manufacturing concern, engaged
In the business of making cutting machinery
OF all kinds, especially for paper cutting, and
other mill machinery. The Sunday edition
gave some further particulars, showing that
the location OF the works here is an assured
fact, the only difficulty being in the securing
of suitable building, or buildings 1t is
gratifying to be able to announce to-day that
this is practically arranged.
Negotiations have been pending for several
days between Mr.. Ross, who represents the
new enterprise here, and the proprietors of the
East street shops, by which lease is to be
given the former OF the FIVE story brick build
| ing erected as part OF the Champion steel
works. fronting ON Champion avenue, east OF
the main shops, which are exactly adapted for
the purpose, being already fitted with line
shatting, engines, etc. An agreement has
been reached between the parties which only
remains to be made formal in the usual man.
ner to 60 into effect, and there is no reason
able doubt it will be thus closed at once Mr..
Ross is in Columbus to-day and could not be
seen by the reporter, but from those who
have been il consultation with him it
is learned that the new concern
will probably be ready to start up in May
next, with q force of fifty to one hundred
iron workers of the various departments, and
employment will be given them the year
round. Mr.. Ross recently visited this city to
try and rent factory, but tailed to find any
one suitable to his purpose. He then went
to the New Orleans exposition, undecided
whether to locate in Springfield or not He
has now returned, however, and is deter
mined to locate his works here He is de-
lighted with Springfield and her excellent ia
cilities for manufacturing OF all kinds, and
believes he can do no better elsewhere. Mr..
Ross is well located where he is, in Fulton,
n. Y, but, being in the extreme East, he finds
il both inconvenient and expensive to ship
from Fulton to his trade, the bulk of which
is in the West and South. The Champion
proprietors preferred not to sell their build
ing, but lease to Mr.. Ross, to assure his per-
manent location here
Negotiations are also pending which are
likely TO result In the coming here of another
valuable manufacturing interest, burned out
recently in another city. Steps have been
taken toward donation of ground for loca-

The Fair of IZamaI.

On the Sth of December the festival
of Our Lady of lzamal is celebrated
with great pomp. A large fair is also
held in the city during those days in
her honor. Even merchants from
neighboring states flock there. if not to
kneel at the shrine of the Virgin, to
worship at the altar of Mercury. Dew
otees on those occasions crowd the pri-
vate apartment of the doll, which is al
SO carried in solemn procession, deck
ed in gorgeous array, and followed by
long train of worshipers.
After church service is over, all leave
in hurry and rush to the bull-fight.
Many of the Indians, who know abso-
lutel y nothing about taurOmachy, enter
the ring to fight the bull, exposing
themselves to be injured for life. or die
a painful death. In this we see an an
cient custom yet prevalent. The an
clients sacrificed their lives to deities
for any benefit received. To-day an
Indian begs a favoritc of his patron
saint, and as proof of his deep graft
tude promises to ght bull, keep
drunk a certain number of days, or do
some other rash thing.
Bull-fghting in Yucatan is not like
bull-fghting in Spain. The ring is a
double palisade sustaining sheds cover
ed with palm leaves, that are divided
into boxes. Every one provides his
own seat. The hest and the worst. big
and small all attend the bull-fight.
Those who. on foot, merely play with
the bull. only have a henequen sack to
serve as shield. Others, also on foot,
are provided with poles about three
feet long, having a sharp iron head,
like that OF an arrow, called rejOn.
When the people are tired of seeing
the bull played with. they call for the
rejoneroS. Those with the spears de-
scribed then come forward Their bus
mess is to strike the bull in the nape
and kill it, but it is seldom done at
once. The beast is chased by two or
three men, blow after blow is dealt, the
blood gushing afresh each time The
first pain makes the animal furious, but
the loss of blood soon weakens it, and
it becomes almost harmless. Then the
horsemen are called on to lasso it and
drag it away. While another bull is
being fetched rockets are fired, the
people applaud, the band plays. a clown
meanwhile doing his best to amuse the
spectators. If bull is disinclined to
fight they gird his body with ropes in
every possible way, fastening tire-crack-
ers about his head and tail. Aggra-
Vated and tortured, the poor beast |
jumps about, and the crackers explode, !
to the great delight of all present, big
and small. This renders it furious for |
! few minutes; but if it again refuses to (

The young people of Tenderfoot City,
Ari., had masquerade ball short
time ago, and an envious journal of
neighboring town had the following
paragraph about it: I'VE understand
that several young ladies were dressed
as Indian maidens, in pink hosiery, kid
slippers, diamond necklaces, with pea
cock feathers in their hair. We don't
like to shatter this beautiful ideal of an
Indian maiden. but duty compels us to
say that no Indian maiden ever sported
such layout. The genuine article
wears an old plug-hat, dirty army
blanket, and discarded pair of trous-
ers. For necklace she wears string
of paleface's teeth, and carries con-
siderable amount of real estate with
her wherever she goes"

same old BUSINESSMAN effort to commit
him to the venomous side in the local
controversy, with threat of the lash
of abuse should he refuse to be commit
ted. If the Judge is wise, he will under
stand that he is not here to win friends
or make enemies, but to performs plain
duty as servant 81 the nation-that OF
administering the laws impartially, and
without fear or favor. A Judge ON the
bench can have but one policy" the
policy of being fair and just to all who
come before him, and he can have no
favorites, either individuals or classes.
The people of Utah have nothing to ask
from the Judge that the people of Mich

he on the bench in that State; il is that
he will as judge know no party or fac
ton and disregard prejudice. That he
will do this here as he would in Mich

duce him to do otherwise.

THE DYNAM1TERs SENTENCED.

English courts stand no foolishness in
the administration of justice. When a
crime is committed in Great Britain. if
money and energy can discover the
criminal he will be detected and made
to feel that the law means something
more than empty profession to be made
effective or void as courts may prefer.
Cunningham and Burton, the two men
guilty of causing the dynamite explo-
sions in the House of Parliament and
Tower of London, have been promptly
convicted and sentenced to imprison-
ment at hard labor for life. In this
country, if the scoundrels had not been
lynehed by popular mob, the proba-
bilities are they would have STAYED off
the trial year or two, until the
matter was half forgotten, when it
would not have been diff
cult for shrewd lawyer to
prove that they were entirely innocent
Of the accusation, and some enter
