pleasure to the songs of fancy, in the

his unsettled mind, and turned aside

beauties of poetry, TO find comfort in
the simple words of Holy Writ. So

HE INcITED NOES
Serious Charges Brought Against a
Milwaukee, Wis.,, Alderman.
A Committee from the City Council
investigating the Matter.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 11.-Last nights
session of the common council was extreme
ly interesting, and there was very large at
tendance. 1t was well understood among
the aldermen that move would be made to
impeach Alderman Rudzinski, of the Twelfth
ward, who is charged with having been in
strumental in working up the Poles Of the
the South Side to a fighting pitch. Rudzinki
is the same person whom the governor warn
ed the other day that he would hold him
responsible for all harm that might come to
thief antilles, persons or property OF members
of the Kosciusko Guards.
After the preliminary proceedings relating
to routine work, Alderman Dodge of the
Seventh ward, arose and presented the ex-
pected resolution. The preamble recited
that as it had been publicly charged that
Alderman Rudzinski had been engaged in
melting mobs in violation of the peace and
dignity of the city, as well as in violation OF
his oath as alderman, it was due both to him
and to the council, that an opportunity
should be given for him to disprove these al
legations. Therefore the alderman asked
for the appointment OF select committee OF
five to hear testimony and, if the evidence
warranted, to bring formal charges of inn
peachment against the alderman. In con-
ciusion Alderman Dodge moved that all
r1es be suspended and the resolution be
passed
An intense silence ensued, broken by the
appearance of Rudzinski on his feet. The
alderman was shade paler than usual. Rud-
zinski asserted that all feelings of enmity
had disappeared, and that the Polish people
were ready to acknowledge the authority Of
the law.
After a moment of silence the resolution
was passed. A committee was appointed by
the president, and it will at once begin an in
vestigation OF the charges preferred against
the erratic alderman.

A DEFIANT PosTmIs1REss.
Mrs. Sutton to Co Visiting When She
Likes, Post office or No Post office.

BRATTLEBoRo, VT, May 10.-The town of
Somerset, which lies on the back borders Of
Windham county, and teens with popula-
tion of 67 souls, II of whom are voters, is
trying to make trouble for the spunky new
postmistress, Mrs. Sutton, who has planted
the post Office in a box by the kitchen stove
and insists on locking the house and going
visiting just when she pleases-in sort, who
has made proclamation that the post Office
will be open only on two days of the week.
Post Office Inspector L. b. Lamson has
Just been over there, according to the Brat
tieboro Phoenix, to persuade the woman that
nothing but ten hours day would do for
the service, but she simply told him that two
days In the week was enough, and that she
didn't propose to tie herself up to that post
office or at home if she wanted to go visit
ing-not for Mr.. Chase, not for Mr.. Lamson,
nor for the United States Post Office Depart
ment.
Mrs. Sutton thus defies the United States
government and all its agents in Windham
county; and not only that, but she bids de-
fance to all classes of society in Somerset,
the rich as well as the poor, the II voters as
well as the 30 other people about her. But
she has little to fear, as Somerset is i'll a
Wild mountainous region, about thirty miles
from good road, and not likely again to be
visited for some time by government in
speetor. Thus 67 souls of that town have got
to fight it out alone with the plucky post
mistress.

rity, was passed unanimously.

TIE SEIZED SCHOONER.
Comments of Canadian Journals on
the Affair.

TORONTO, May 1.-THE Globe in an edi-
fishing vessel David j. Adams says:
There seems to be no room for doubt that
the master of this vessel acted illegally and
that the seizure was properly made. The
people of the United States did not kno W
what they were doing wnen they abrogated
the clause in the Washington treaty. They
find now that their fishermen cannot pursue
their business profitably unless they are per-
mitted to purchase baiVon our shores. or
the sake of Canada and for the sake of the
empire we hore that II the imperial govern
ment interferes in this business openly or
secretly it will be to help Us to maintain our
rights and not to thwart, hamper and restrain
us in enforcing the terms of the treaty.
The Mail says:
An American vessel has just been seized
at Digby, n. S., for trespassing and we pre-
sumo that test case will be made. If, as
the London Times asserts, English people
have no interest in seeing that their Cana
dian fellow subjects are not robbed, be 1t So
A thorough understanding of that fact, if it
be fact. might possibly set some OF us
thinking very seriously about the drawbacks
of colonial existence, but it would not
frighten us into Surrenderlng our properly
to Americans. Our plain duty to ourselves
settlement is to continue to protect ourselves
as best we can. Thirty thousand Cana
dians are dependent upon the fishing in
dustry, but even if our fisheries were not
worth one farthing we should still be in
clined to defend them TO the best OF our
ability, for to tell the truth, we have grown
weary of being sacrificed
HALIFAX, N. S., Moy u.-Commander
Scott last evening formally handed over to
the Collector of Customs at Digby the con-
fiscated fishing schooner David j. Adams.
The captain and crew of the Adams are. ex-
pected to arrive at Digby tomorrow, when
their affidavits will be taken and a protest
entered against the seizure.
GLOUCESTER, Mass, May ia despatch
to the American Fishery Union from Consul
General Phelan at Halifax says:
The schooner Adams was taken from the col
lector here this morning by Capt Scott. Do not
know what the next move will be but Will take
the deposition of the captain and crew.
There is no abatement to the excitement
among fishing vessel owners here over the
seizure. 1t is suggested by many that crew
proceed to Digby and take her back as they
did the Morton. Should another seizure be
made the fishermen are so worked up at
present that if provincial fis herman should
enter our harbor an attempt would be made
to drive her out. Geo. Steele, president OF
the Fishing Union, is hard at work looking
after the interests Of the fishermen.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, May ia ter
rible calamity occurred early this morning
at Dartmouth, place about three miles
from this city Charles Slocum, a farmer
who is about 70 years old and subject to epi-
leptic fits, went to the barn to feed his horse
paratory to going to New Bedford to carry
milk. He is supposed to have had fit, dur
which he fell and broke a petroleum Ian
tern. This set the barn on fire. When dis
covered the fire had gained such headway
that nothing conld be saved, and Slocum,
with three horses, was burned to death. The
mans head, arms and legs were burned off
and nothing was left but headless trunk.
The barn contained about two tons of hay,
some tools and harnesses. The loss is about
