THE WooD-YARDS.

The city council, which always moves
slowly if it moves at all in the direction
of reform, has at length passed an Ordi-
nance making it unlawful to maintain
woodward within the fire limits of the
city, unless permission be first obtained
from the council. We fail to see why
the ordinance was not general and
sweeping in its provisions. and why the
council should reserve to itself the right
to favor certain wood dealers, to the eX-
clusion of others. The truth of the mat
ter is that wood-yards should not be
permitted at all within the fire limits.
In the first place, it robs the city OF its
metropolitan appearance and gives it
the air of country village to see these
wood-yards chucked in almost every
block of the business districts. And in
the next place, what is the use of having
fire limits, and refusing permits to
erect wooden buildings. when we allow
these great piles of kindling wood to be
heaped up right against some of our
most valuable buildings, and right In
the heart of the business district. 1t
would be no inconvenience to the wood
dealers nor to their customers to require
all wood-yards to be maintained outside
of the fire limits, and it would certainly
add to the metropolitan appearance of
the city. Then, too, the wood dealers
would all have fair show. and not be
dependent on the fdvoritiSm of the city
council for the privilege of carrying on
their business.

FOR HOME CONSUMPTION.

A Rice county farmer asks the GLOBE
to state whether OF not the provisions of
the new meat inspection law make it
necessary to have animals inspected
which are slaughtered for home con-
sumption. We understand that some
of the local boards of health so construe
the law and require inspection in every
instance, but the GLOBE does not con-
cur in that construction. In our opinion
the law is only intended to apply to
animals whose meat, when slaughtered,
will be offered for sale, and that it is
not criminal offenSe to slaughter ami
mails for home consumption without
being inspected. We are sustained in
this view of the law by the attorney
general, who recently addressed letter
tie the secretary of the state board of
health in which he says: 1.-The law
starts out with the prohibition against
the sale of meat except as provided for
in the act Section two provides for
the appointment of inspectors; section
three relates TO the duties of inspectors,
and section four prescribeS the penal
ties for the sale of meat from animals
which were not inspected before
slaughter. 1t is true that section three
makes it the duty of the inspector to
inspect all animals; but the entire act
should be read together. The object of
the act, as appearing from its terms. is
to prohibit the sale of meat which has
not been inspected, and section three
should be read in the light of this mani
fest purpose of the act" Thus, as. there
is only prohibition against the sale of
meat which has not been inspected, and
offenses cannot be created by implica-
ton, it is not unlawful for a person to
eat beef of his own slaughtering, even
though it is not inspected.

RoNoRlNG THE EXPLORERS.

Chicago has one rich man who has a
proper idea of the use of wealth. LAM
BERT TREE is going to erect monu
ment to LA SALE, the French eX-
plorer and we hope that while he is at
it Mr.. TREE will put up monument
that neither he nor the city will be
ashamed of. The most that has ever
been done in honor of LA SALES
memory is the naming of street after
him-which, by the way, is cheap and
common method of paying tribute to
greatness. We would like to see Mr..
TREES example followed by other
wealthy citizens of the Northwest. The
pioneers and explorers of this North
western country deserve to have their
names and memories perpetuated, and
those of our people who are blessed
with superabundance of this worlds
goods could find profitable use for
their surplus wealth in erecting mOnu-
mentS to the brave men who were the
first explorers of this section, and who
paved the way for our present imperial
greatness and grandeur. What an
adornment it would be to the cities of st.
Paul and Minneapolis, and, at the same
time, what a suggestion Of appropriate
ness there would be in it. if the princi-
pal parks contained monuments to HEN
NEpIN, SCHooLCRAFT, LEWIS, CLARKE
and the other explorers of early days.

the score who can count their millions.

Many light-eolored Prince Albert
coats are noticed On the boulevardS and

The tailleSs dress undershirt is gar
ment which continues close to the heart

There is prediction among the tail
orS that light-colOred doeskin trousers
will be introduced next fall.
Trousers show a slight decrease in
size. Nineteen and half at the knee
and eighteen at the bottom are the
proper dimensions.
The dress coat is made either with
shawl collar and silk facing to the edge,
or with netched collar and facing to the
buttonholes.
The useless buttons that ornament
the cuffs of gentlemen's coats show no
signs of being discarded. The latest
style is to have four instead of two.
The scarf-pin is no longer worn at the
side or in one corner of the four-in-
hand. 1t is inserted at the center of
the scarf at the lower edge of the cross
fold:
The latest fad takes the form of silk
breakfast shirts. They are of Japanese
silk in bright colorings and Japanesque
patterns, and are donned with loose
trousers and boudoir jackets.
The pearlcolored stiff hat is the

JOE MaCKIN,s PARDON.

The frequency and evident lack of
discrimination with which executive
clemency is being exercised toward
convicted criminals are calculated to
disturb the public faith in that provis-
ION of nearly all our state constitutions
which confers the pardoning power
upon the governor. 1t is sure that the
action of Gov. FIFER, of Illinois. in par
doning JOE MACKIN, the noted ballot
box suffer, will not inspire people with
additional confidence in the right of
governor to exercise the pardonlng
power. MACKIN was serving a five
years term in 'the Joliet prison for the
crime of perjury, which was committed
while being examined before the grand
jury as witness during the investiga-
ton of the famous ballot frauds with
which he was conspicuousiy identified.
As false swearing is a more grievous
Offense under the laws of Illinois than
ballot stuffing, the district attorney
elected to prosecute him oR the last
named charge in order to secure
longer term of imprisonment. The eff
feet of Gov. FIFER'S pardon will be
to restore MACKIN to full citizenship.
of which he would have been denied if
he had served out his full term. There
is no evil more threatening at this time
than ballot box frauds, and it should be
the duty of those in authority to let it
be distinctly understood that every man
convicted of crime against the ballot
shall be punished to the full extent of
the law. 1t is becoming altogether too
prevalent, anyway, to have pardon ex-
tended to criminalsWho fail to secure &C
0llittal in the courts

MISSOURI REFoRMERs.

The Civil Service Reform association
in Missouri held its annual meeting a
few days ago, and i'll strange mood
sought to find in the HARRISON admin
istration some evidence that the presi-
dent or his counselors had read the
platform adopted by the Republican
convention at Chicago last year, that
declared that civil service reform should
be carried out in spirit as we'll as letter.
OF course they made an utter failure.
An address was adopted urging the
president to sit down on the headsman,
GARRISON, and give his subordinates
to understand that he really meant it
when he said that "only the interests of
the public service should suggest re-
movals from Office" They are evil
IDENTITY innocent-minded people in Mis-
souri,, and don't know much about Re
publican politicians. They should study
FILIEY as a civil service reformer.

JAY COOKE RICH AGAIN.
Extraordinary Vicissitudes of
Fortune in the Career of the
Noted RanKeP

Extraordinary Vicissitudes of
Fortune in the Career of the
Noted Banker.
New York Letter to the Evening Wisconsin.
Among the pushing thrOng on Broad
way to-day was an old gent eman clad
more in the garb of countryman than
that of great financier. His clothes
were plain, and his white SLOUGH hat
with its broad brim gave him the ap-
pearance of well-to-do farmer. The
hair and beard of Jay Cooke are now
snow-white, but he still moves along as
if contented with life. No one familiar
with his everyday appearance would
think he was the famous banker. the
man who has handled more millions
than any other private individual in
America; failed for more money than
any other. and finally has grown rich
again after he had grown old. " lille he
is by no means as familiar figure as he
used to be, and does not mingle in the
uncertainty of 1.-The street" as of yore,
he is more frequently seen among the
hustle of business than almost any man
of his age.
Jay Cooke has had singular career.
When the war broke out he lived out
along Lake Erie, at SanduSky, and
Salmon p. Chase, while secretary of
the treasury, first gave him big start
in life, which he followed to disaster,
and then built anew from nothing. Mr..
Cooke never forgot or neglected his
home in Ohio, and one of his charities
is a beautiful home on an island in
Lake Erie, few miles from Sandusky,
which he bought and named "Gibral-
tar" He had it laid out in wild, ro-
mantle walks, and built cOmmodIOus
stone castle upon it. He provided the
house with every Imaginable comfort
and put into it competent house
keeper. To this retreat he would in
vite each summer ministers of the Cos
pei of different denominations who
could i'll afford to take a summer va
cation.
Mr.. Cooke lives with his son-in-law
now, Mr.. Barney, who does business
near the famous old banking house on
Third street. in Philadelphia, over
which Mr.. Cooke once presided, and
where the Northern Pacific railroad was
projected. In many respects Jay Cooke
will go down to history as one of the re-
markable men of our time. In a little
church out at frankfort, near Philadel-
phia. he has son preaching to con-
gregatiOn who can hardly pay him sal
airy enough to liquidate his horse hire.
So the curious turns of life are again
illustrated in Mr.. Cookies career and in
that of the family he has raised.

COLOREil JuRORS.

Taking the case of the jury in the
Mellow trial in South Carolina, it can
not be claimed that the South Carolina
citizen of African descent has con-
SpicuouSly indicated his fitness for the
jury boX-at least, he has not set high
example to the white element of that
state. That jury comprised seven col
ored men and five whites, and there
seems to have been easy accord and
unanimity with both races in finding
the doctor who shot the pungent and
honest editor in the back, not worthy of
punishment. The newspaper had been
free-spoken. and had not sought the
favor of the blacks, and was not popu-
lar with class of whites, consequently
the editor was not improperly killed.
There have been other yerdicts of
juries that Justice was forced to turn
from with saddened eye, but it was
hoped that the colored brother would
improve this opportunity to rise above
the low plane of prejudice. 1t is re-
membered in Massachusetts that in a
somewhat parallel case that state sent
to the gallows a learned professor in
Harvard college,

WHAT THE AMERICAN SAYS
OF the Paris Rival Of the Wash
ingtOn Monument

VI Tic FafiS hlVai Oh Gn0 w ASH.
ington Monument.
Eyes, SIR" he remarks, ''we ought to
to have had that mon ument in our
country, where its surroundings would
have been on a corresponding scale of
grandeur"
He does not at first allude to the Wash
ington monument-hitherto the highest
in the world, some $50 feet high-but
when it is mentioned. he admits regret
fully that the Frenchman has gone a
good many chips better than that.
Still, America reconciles itself with
the suggestion that in weight, perhaps,
the transatlantic monument might be
superior, SAYS writer in All the Year
Round. And that is possibly the case,
for the Eiffel tower is wonderfully light
for its size and weighs only $500 tons,
so that it might be possible to take it to
pieces and ship it across the Atlantic.
Our friend seems to be mentally cal
culating the freight that would have to
be paid. and the chances of success OF
such speculation. After all, the cost
of the tower was not excessive. Two
hundred thousand pounds for the big
gest tower in the world is not much;
and yet it is said that this estimate has
hardly been exceeded, at which rate it
has cost about threepence pound-not
much above the price OF fiat-ironS.
1t may be noticed that even the wait
ers Of the cafe-and these are not a
class generally given to enthuSlan-are
greatly interested in the Eitfel tower.
As they dart about here and there. they
find spare moment to watch what Is
going on in the dizzy heights above.
Netmany hours will elapse before the
work will be pronounced completed;
the national flag will be hoisted;
a lieu de jole" will be fired, and a de
jeuner," or, at all events, "pouche"
will be given at the very top of the
tower. Alphonse is acquainted with
confrere, who is charged with the ar
rangements of this little fete. To take
ones punch or ones coffee at such
height from the ground must be, in the
opinion of AlphonSe, an experience
bien curieux"
In the evening glow, when the last
touches of sunlight have quilted the
domes and towers of the city, when the
shadows are thickening and the streets
are beginning to glow with the
clustered lights of shops and cafes, then
the sunbeams still rest OH the lat
ticed sides of the monster tower; and
then the shadow OF the worlds round
rim creeps slowly upward. mounts from
one gallery to another and finally wraps
the whole in shade.
Before long we may be making eX-
cursions to see the sun rise, from the
top of the Eiffel tower.

MRS. BLOOMFIELD MOORE.
The Rich Philadelphia Widow
and Her Relations With Robert

and Her Relations With Robert
Browning.
Chicago Tribune's Philadelphia Correspond
ence.
Mrs. Bloomfield Moore. who some
body now and again assures us will GER
tainly be married to the poet Browning,
will shortly sail from Europe for her
splendid home in this city. She fits
across the sea whenever the impulse
suggests, as unconcerned as if an ocean
voyage were mere trip across a ferry.
She has quite dropped out of Phila-
delphia society, though her visits home
are usually made so interesting by
some caprice or other that the rest
of the community follows her move
mentS with interest. even though
fashion may affect to have no con-
Germ in them. During her last two or
three visits home she contrived to do a
good deal toward reviving the anguish
ing interest in the Keely motor, and
there is always something new about
Ler and Browning. She is one of the
most impulsive creatures Imaginable.
Appropos they tell this story:
Mr. Browning called at Mrs. MOore'S
house in London, and after chatting
bit about poetry and music and art,
Mrs. Moore asked him to play upon the
piono. He begged that she would play.
No" she cried, "Mr. Browning, not
l. But you will play" and she impul-
sively cast herself on Ter knees at his
feet.
mo, Mrs. Moore. not L." the poet re-
piled. won't you playa" and threw
himself upon his knees before her.
Just at this instant Mrs. MOore's son
slipped unexpectedly into the drawing
room. caught glimpse of the kneeling
figures, and, quick as flash. he spread
his hands out above their heads and
said:
"Bless you. my children, bless you"
comedy was that of youth. Mrs. Moore,
though retaining all her Yigor and
vivacity, is all of sixty. She is still at
tractive looking. She is fairly tall, with
a tendency to embOnpOint. Her hair is
snow-white and worn high. She is a
woman of moods, and her manners are
just about what she may make them.
Just the same, she wrote book Oh ct
iquette which created a good deal of stir
in society here, where it was brought out.
She wrote a novel which also created
some cOmmOtiOn in the world of fashion.
She has also written good deal of verse,
and has contributed articles to the
magazines here and in Europe. Her
fortune is thought to be about S3,000,-
600. She came into all the estate of her
late husband, who made his millions as
a manufacturer of paper. She made an
allowance of $4,000 year to her son.
She lives elegantly, though she enter
tains little when here, and goes out
scarcely at all. She made great deal
of a figure, however. in Philadelphia
society before she took strong fancy
10 foreign fashion, and her villa at
Newport was the scene of splendid So
ciai shows.
