 The City Reform club of New York has been making inquiries concerning the work ing of system of cumulative voting in the State of Illinois. The answers are favor able to the system as it is applied in the election of the lower branch of the legislature in that State. It tends to secure representation to parties in proportion to their numerical strength, and in so far as it fails to do SD it is due to it's application by counties, where the relations of the majority and minority parties differ somewhat widely. It has re- suited in decided improvement in the character of the men elected, more especial ly those elected by the minority. It is not believed to have had much effect on the bribery of voters in Illinois. As to the satis- faction given, it is much greater to the peo pie at large than to the politicians.
 A Mrs. Hemenway has been doing good work in Boston. A year ago she established a summer cooking school in one of the pub lie school buildings. The condition was that she should give up the undertaking in Sep tember, but the school board became so much interested in the work done that the kitchen was made part of the school system for the year. It has now been determined to still further extend the time. Thus fsr Mrs. Hemenway has carried on the work at her own expense. Hereafter the school board will assume the charge. The girls at the school are taught all kinds of kitchen work. They take turns in acting as housekeepers, cooks and kitchen maids. They are taught all culinary accomplishments, from the selec- tion of dishes and the weighing out of ma terials to their actual preparation for the ta- ble and the principles that underlie all the modes by which food is prepared. Such schools would be useful in any city.

BIRD MOUNTAINEERING.
A Contest for Possession of a Nest Be
 tween a Bluebird and Wren.


 From the Century,
 The bluebirds early took possession and in June their first brood had flown. The wrens had been hanging around, evidently with an eye on the place (such little comedies may be witnessed anywhere), and now very natural ly thought it was their turn. A day or two after the young bluebirds had flown I noticed some fine, dry grass clinging to the entrance to the cavity; circumstance which under stood few moments later, when the wren rushed by me into the cover of small Nor way spruce, hotly pursued by the male blue bird. It was a brown streak and blue streak pretty close together. The wrens had gone to house cleaning, and the bluebird had returned to find his bed and bedding being pitched out of doors, and had thereupon given the wIens to understand in the most emphatic manner that he had no intention of yacating the premises so early in the season. Day after day for more than two weeks the male bluebird had to clear his premises of these intruders. It occupied much of his time and not little of mine as 1 sat with a book in summer house near by laughing at his petty fury and spiteful onset On two occasions the wren rushed under the chair in which I sat, and streak of blue lightning almost flashed in my face. One day just as I had passed the tree in which the cavity was placed heard the wren scream desperately; turning I saw the little vagabond fall into the grass with the wrathful bluebird fairly upon him; the latter had returned just in time to catch him, and evidently bent on punishing him well. But in the squabble in the grass the wren escaped and took refuge in the friendly evergreen. The blue bird paused for 8 moment with outstretched wings looking for the fugitive, then flew away. A score of times during the month of June did see the wren taxing every en- ergy to get away from the bluebird. He would dart into the stone wall, under the floor of the summer house, into the weeds anywhere to hide his diminished head The bluebird with his bright coat looked like a policeman in uniform in pursuit of some wicked, rusty little street ganin. Generally the fayorite house of refuge of the wrens the little spruce, into which their pur- suer made no attempt to follow them. The female would sit concealed amid the branch es, chattering in a scolding, fretful way, while the male, with his eyes upon his tor mentor, would perch on the topmost shoot and sing. Why he sang at such times, whether in triumph and derision, or to keep his courage up and reassure his mate, could not make out. When his song was suddenly cut short and glanced to see him dart down into the spruce, my eye usually caught twinkle of blue wings lowering near. The wrens finally gave up the fight and their enemies reared their second brood in peace.

OF his arrival at Zanzibar, his journey

GENERAL NEWS NOTES.
Sensational DefAlcation In Chicago.


The most sensational as well as the
heaviest defalcation which has taken place
in Chicago in many years has just been
brought to light. Miner T. Ames, the mill
: ionaire coal merchant, is the victim and
Theodore s. Mize his confidential book
keeper and cashier, the secretary OF Chicago
d Minonk Coal and Coke company, is the
perpetrator Of a robbery that is estimated
at 100000, and may exceed that
amount. Mize had absolute control OF
the moneys OF the company and the pri-
vate funds OF Mr. Ames. Mize is one Of
the best known men in local business cir
cles. He was a member OF the Union Vet
eran club and the Apollo clud, being singer
OF much ability. 1t is the old story-wine.
Mize is stopping with his father: Besides
the extravagant manner in which he and
his wife lived, it is asserted that Mize at
various times supported three other wom-
en-, on whom he lavished money with a
generous hand. Later estimates Of the
defalcation make the matter worse
than at first stated, the amount be-
ing placed at $112, 900. The
whole family is ruined by the recklessness
OF a son, who has brought a grayhaired
health almost to the verge OF the grave.
The homestead OF the aged parents, the
home of the sister and brother-in-law, the
residence of the embezzler, the jewels
OF his wife, and his very birthright and
heritage, all have gone to satisfy the
claim OF Mics employer and save the son
from the penitentiary. Transfers to Mr..
Ames were recorded for all the property
enumerated and TheodoreS. Mize. joint
ly with his father, signed away all right
and title to the share OF the fathers pro-
perty that would revert to him by the pro-
visions OF the fathers will already made.
The brother OF Mize, who is in Atchison,
Kan, also came to his assistance.
