ALise That spells Beauty.

Teachers? Their lot is cruel one, and
for the whole army of martyrs shed my
warmest tears, said Chicago doctor to the
reporter of the Inter-0cean. While l have
the greatest sympathy for those inundated
creatures, cannot understand how they
can instruct others when they are so wholly
ignorant of the duty due their own safety.
l find them going two and six miles to
school. subsistng on dinner OF cold pie
and sandwiches and living from 8 to
o'clock in an atmosphere where there can
never be anything but desperate struggle
between health and disease. life and death.
As you might expect these young women
leave their healthful beauty, their youth
and vivacity at the school door, and in less
than two years they are not only old and
faded, but their nervous system is wrecked,
and they die slowly and bitterly, the victims
of ignorance.

to hold an election. The clerk at first

edged that in his opinion the Republicans
had held no election except in the Second

chihuahua. Mana, Kutle and Alseanua,
with seventy-two other Apache prisoners,
bucks. women and children, left here yes
terday for Fort Marion, Fla, as prisoners
of war. Gen. Crook went to Bowie station
with them on a blackboard. Twenty-Five
Apache scouts escorted them. All went
cheerfully, though not understanding what
is to be done with them. Chihuahua was
riding around all morning hurrying them in
preparations TO move. Two weeks ago nine
ty-two hostiles, including six chiefs, were
on the warpath. Now there are but thirty
four, of whom fourteen are squaws and two
chiefs, thus putting their families and ALI es
far beyond their reach. 1t will be severe
blow to them. Geronimo's wife and
daughter and some of the Matches children
are among the prisoners. Sixteen of the
seventy-six were captured by Lieut. Davis
some months ago. To have run down and
captured the other sixty-eight in an ordi-
nary Apache warfare would have cost many
American lives, and $4,000 to $50, 600 pei
head. Crook has, therefore, accomplished
something.

CURBSTOSE ETHICS.

Nothing succeeds like success, and the
revolution that has taken place in Republic
can circles in regard TO DIR. AmeS Is simply
astounding. 81 nave always said that the
doctor had it in him 70 make a first-class
mayor" said a prominent county official
yesterday, who a week ago had declared
that TO elect Doe. AmeS was simply to
turn the devil loose in the public streets of
the city.
Watching the doctor yesterday as he
walked along Washington avenue, the
thought suggested itself, would not such
popularity turn the head of older and cooler
men. Inside OF block he was stopped six
times by men who shook hands with him
as though he was their long lost brother
Nearly every other man nodded at him
cordially and the others all stared at him as
though they would like to. When he
reached the front of the Nicollet house the
crowd there parted to make way for him
and upon the slightest provocatlon an oya-
ton would have been rendered him, but he
passed rapidly on, nodding right and left
just as he did two years ago when he was
showed under under by 5000 votes. The
people have changed toward him, but he
has not toward the people.

Speaking of the doctors popularity, no
man in the city is as well known as he.
Recently he sat before the camera of Brush,
for photograph that was TO adorn the
Press club group. The picture was an
excellent one. One of his ardent admirers
saw it, and Immediately ordered a wood
cut made from it from which a number of
cards were printed. Such a demand fol
them appeared that several thousand more
were struck off, and during the latter days
OF the campaign they were printed and dis
tributed by the thousands. Wednesday
this same man ordered 10. 600 copies. which
adorned the hats Of those who marched
in the procession, and of many of the
spectators who thronged the sidewalks.

Says the New York Commercial Bulletin:
The changes of the past ten years have left
the flour market of New York simple dis
tributer for the local trade of this city and
its surroundings. and, in case of accumula-
ton at the mills, mere storage place fol-
such surplus. During that time MinneapO-
lis has taken away our export trade, until
that is now the largest export -four market
in the United States. Yet there is neither
an official nor press report of the daily sales
or flour in that market for shipment. AS
nearly half our exports of wheat go out in

Raising Rates Gradually.

CHICAGO, April s.-Orders were re-
ceived here this evening to advance the
rates by the Atehison, Topeka 81 Santa Fe
from Kansas City To San Francisco for
Ast-class limited from 30 to S12, making
the rate from this city S21.50, instead of
S14.50. The round trip rate is thus adj
vanced to S43. The S57 round trip rate,
good for thirty days. and the S94 round
trip rata, good for six months, still remain
in force. The second-class rate from
Kansas City is advanced to 81, making the
rate from Chicago S14. The Santa Fe says
it is compelled to make this advance solely
owing to its inability to care for any more
travel than is already coming to the road
ewing to the former low rate for limited
tickets.

ON THE RAGGED EDGE.
with Fear and Trembling the PO-
lice Plead for disappointment.


The police force is now on the ragged
edge. Those who took an active part in
the campaign are engaged in soliciting the
aid of their friends in their behalf, and
these friends are requested to beseech the
mayOr-elect to be lenient. Had they real
lied how the cat would Jump they would
have been good AmeS supporters from the
first. They will probably find it exceed
ingly difficult 10 convince his honor next
week that they are public necessity, and
that the success of the administration de-
ponds largely upon their service. Every
body knows that DIR. AmeS cares nothing
about an officers ballot A Pillsbury man
stands an equal show with the Ames man
on the force provided he did no election
eering. DIR. Ames is on record as nom
partisan in such matters. Four
years ago he appointed Republi-
cans and Democrats to office.
1t is safe to say, indeed, that nearly one
half the police force at that time was Re-
publican. The appointments to the water
board were eXemplifcations of the claim
that Mayor Ames is not bigoted in his
political opinions. He finds the water
board now with but one Democratic men,
Der, and that one Pillsbury supporter.
The only appointment will Dc successor
to Commissioner Doris, Republican. A
Democrat will, beyond peradventure, sue
coed him. That will give the board, with
the mayor, who is president, three votes
were there any party matter to consider.
But whether or not c. NJ. Foote will stand
by the mayor is questionable. All day yes
tsrday DR.. Ames' Office was stormed by
applicants for Office, and despite large
placard displayed in his Office, positively
no official business transacted in this Office,
the hungry office-seekers persisted in their
claims, until life was almost burden. 1t
seems fair to presume that he who takes
the most modest and most moderate course,
stands the best show.
