 Juries in Connecticut, New York and Wis eonsin have decided that boycotting as it has been conducted is a criminal offenss
 The indications that the labor unions are ''going into politics" increase. But most of the politicians who expect to profit by them get left. We do not believe that the labor CTS will vote as they are told to unless it suits their own ideas to do so.
 MT. Powderly in a recent address to meeting of glass workers said: "Any bottle brought into my house does not go back. I can't smash beer bottle, as I drink ginger ale, but the bottle never goes out alive. That is a small thing, but if ninety thousand men who get bottles were to destroy them it would make a big hole" Does MT. Powder ly mean by this that it would be good plan for people to destroy things so to make more work!
 Some very bright officials have been ap- pointed since the new administration took hold. One of them is 8 letter carrier in In dianapolis. A letter was placed upon his 
 cry He put it in his pouch, and after car rying it all day returned it to the office, say ing there was no such person on his route. The letter was for himself and had been laid upon his table, but he hadn't gumption enough to know this.
 | Shade trees, especially elms, are suffering l in several places from variety of insects IL | orgyia leucostigma, moth which lays two I hundred and fifty eggs in about fortnight, l then dies, leaving all these eggs to hatch in- | to dirty worms which eat every leaf, has | stripped the trees in several places.

 he would not accept s5O0,O His health
 having broken down, owing to his residence l at Alden, he is going back to drink the Ger
 man waters. But although prevented from
 reaching Bombay, he goes on to say, other 1 roads remain. When he returns he can land | at Goa or Pondicherry or enter the PunJao | through Russia In the latter evept he sup
 poses that the whole Indian army will be sent to resist him. The Indian taxpayers,
 he adds, will be glad to hear that he has re-
 signed the miserable stipend paid under the
 iniquitous treaty of annexation. When re- stored to health he hopes to appeal for pecu-
