Librarian Gould, of Brown Uni
versity, has prepared paper on the
birth and parentage of Roger Will
Jams, the founder of Rhode Island,
which contains more about the history
of that famous man than was known
before. He shows, contrary to most
writers, that Roger was an English
man and not Welshman, and that the
family name was spelled Wylyams.
"A corresp ondent of the Boston

WOMEN IN BATTLE.
French Ladies' Who Have Been Decorated

French Ladies' Who Have Been Decorated
with the Legion of Honor.
Truth is stranger than fiction. and

sible story, instead of exclaiming, like
a well-known authoress to the narra-
tor at a London dinner party, go it.
Ananias," you had better quietly OBJ
serve, a suppose it's true" Anyhow,
we are apt TO scout the stories of
women who have concealed their sex
the better to perform doughty deeds
of valor, and 10! here are French sta
tistics, with their dry facts, coming to
prove that what novelists and poets
have written has not been evolved
from their inner consciousness, but
from the romance of history. Thirty
four French women have been deco
rated with the Legion Of Honor since
the order was instituted, and of these
seven distinguished themselves on the
battlefield. Two women soldiers were
decorated under the first empire, one
having dressed as a man to replace
her delicate brother, her sex only be-
ing discovered when she was wounded,
after attaining the rank Of sergeant
The second heroine took TO fighting
because she liked it, and distinguished
herself at Yemmaper, Austerlitz and
Jena Save for one brave vivandiere,
there was blank from 1915 to 1851, and
then came more military women, whose
exploits would read like an after-din-
ner story. Whether these women
were or were not unsexed by thus
abandoning their proper sphere is not
the point at all; the fact remains that
women have military qualities capable
of efficient training should need arise;
and in country where the perils Of
war. the lack of an army and the vol

THEY PLAYED CRAZY,
Cute Work of Boys at a Soldiers
Orphans Home,

BUTLER, Pa, March Ex-senator
Greer, inspector of the soldiers orphans
school. has completed his report regard.
ing the crazy boys at the McAllister-
Vile school, The boys were shamming.
.Ihey have all confessed, much to the
confusion of wise and snowy-haired doc.
tors, who diagnosed the cases. In
spectOr Greer has the written confess
sion of twenty-f0ur boys who played
crazy. A youth named Gus Splitter was
the origininator of the famous disease.
In the do rmitory. one evening after
the boys had retired. ne was hurting
pillows when some boy cried: Put
him out, he's crazy" Suiting the action
to the superstition. he played crazy so
we'll that the alarmed boys called the
principal and doctors. His confession
recites his antics and how he even
laughed at his deyilish success. When
the doctor bathed him in cold water he
Shlyered with cold, but thought it would
not do to admit that he was playing off.
Like Splitter, the boys tell all that
transpired during their seeming crazy
spells. In their confessions, the boys
say the motives inspiring them were to
have fun and have their meals carried
to them. Their ages range from ten to
sixteen and their testimony is
clear and convincing. Each one of
them says that they have abundant
to eat, have good clothes and
kind treatment. The testimony
of thirtysix boys and girls who did not
play crazy is given in the report. They
speak of the kind treatment of the prin.
cipal and the teachers, and of the good
food and clothing furnished them. To
make his investigation as thor.
ough as possible, the inspector
received lengthy statements from
Rev. Lowey, of the Presbyterian
church; Rev. Lusner, of the Lutheran
church; Judge Smith, Judge Watts,
now postmaster, and a number of relia-
bic citizens, including Grand Army
men. They express words of praise both
for the school and the appearance of
the children. The report of Senator
Greer proves that the school has been
uniustIy abused.

STREET MASKING.

Chief CLARK, Officer PoTTGEIsER.
and Judge Cory are all entitled to the
thanks of the community for their eff
forts in suppressing that pestiferous an
imal commonly known as the street
masher. The example made of the
young man who was arrested Friday for
insulting lady on Third street will
have healthy deterrent effect upon
the mawkish creatures who are in the
habit of parading UP and down the
street or cohgregating on the cor
ners, for no other purpose than
imposing their insulting attentions
upon the females who pass by. 1t had
come to pass that respectable woman
dreaded to go on some of the streets i'll
this city for fear of encountering the
Washers. The difficulty heretofore in
bringing the scoundrels to justice was
In the indisposition of ladies to appear
in public as prosecutors and. therefore,
the gratitude of the community is due
the lady who had the nerve in this in
stance to turn upon her inSulter and in
woke the aid of the law in her protec-
ton. The punishment imposed by the
municipal judge is not harsh penalty.
The only regret is that the law does not
fix the penalty for such otfenses at
three years in the state prison instead
OF the three months III the wOrkhouSe.
While every good CITIZEN suDscribeS
to the righteousness of the judgment Of
the court in this case, and hopes to see
the police force succeed in their efforts
to rid our streets Of the masber, even if
the workhouse has to be filled in the
effort, still in all justice we are COM
PEELED to say the male offenders are not
the only ones who are TO be looked
after by the police department. The
female maSher is Just as much Of a
nuisance to the community as the male
offender, and merits the same punish
ment. She is in the habit of making
herself conspicuous at times and places
where her presence is an insult to re-
spectacle people of both sexes. Nor
does she always belong to the demI-
monde class, although her conduct
might justify tie belief that she did.
There have been instances where
a young woman, whose name and asso-
SiatiOAo nc vi OCItcl
behavior, has been known TO rig herself
out in gaudy attire, besmear her face
with paint and powder, and go out on
the street with no other object than to
attract attention and strike up flirta-
ton. Such woman is the proper COM
panion of the professional street masher,
and the two deserve to be yoked to-
gether in the workhouse gang.
Now that the chief of police and his
SubordInates have madesuch a splendid
beginning in the work of Kidding the
streets of the "mashers," the GLOBE
urges them to go forward in the good
work until any lady can feel free to go
upon any street in the city at any hour
of the day or night, without fear of
molestatlon or insult.

A BRIGHT FUTURE

The GLOBE publishes this morning
interviews with number of prominent
gentlemen. representing the various
business and industrial interests of the
Twin Cities, who were asked to give
their opinions as to the present state Of
business affairs in the Northwest, and
to forecast the future. The harmony
which charactcrizes this consensus of
opinion is remarkable. They nearly all
agree as to the causes which created
the recent depression in business mat
tefs in this section. and they are still
more unanimous in their opinion that
the crisis is past and that the future
bears radiant hue. Our conditions are
too substantial to permit check in our
industrial life of any considerable
duration. The elements of progress and
prosperity are too numerous to make
retrogression possible, and there is too
much activity among our business men
to admit of idleness. Things must move
i'm some direction, and, as forward
movement is the only one permissible
under the laws of Northwestern deyel-

WHY THEY LAUGH.
The English Syndicate to Buy
American Breweries Something
GauZy

The English Syndicate to Buy
American Breweries Something
Gauzy.
LONDON. March 9.-The Financial
News says: The articles in American
newspapers concerning the desperate
attempts of Englishmen to buy Ameri-
can breWeries amuSe the English
financial world. They appear to be the
result of combination of certain
American brewers to boom their
properties, and irresponsible company
mongerS. who are trying to advertise
themselves among American brewers
by claiming to represent an English
syndicate. Their scheme is to obtain
such options as they can and then
search for purchaser, thereby securing
desirable property to hawk in the Lon
don market until they are unstable.
Ali this talk about the Earrings and
other English houses being engaged in
an attempt to form trust in American
breWeries is such utter nonsense that
we are surprised that our American
friends are deceived by it. Among the
host of names of Englishmen mentioned
as representing the syndicate, the name
inquiry fails to develop the powerful
capital he is said to represent. The
only American brewerleS yet sold in
London are those which the trustees,
executors and insurance corporation
negotiated about through their repre-
sentative, Samuel Untermeyer, and
Hill's Union Brewery company. Since
these sales, twenty breweries have
been offered to the trustees and
corporation by So-calied agents of pow
erful syndicates, all of which have been
referred to their American representa-
tive and rejected as undesirable. MIR.
Untermeyer, ON being interviewed, de-
cared that the idea of trust to control
the billions of dollars invested in the
5000 American brewerieS was prepos-
ferrous. The vendors and their friends
own half the securities in the breweries
the sale of which has already been ne
gotiated, American interests holding a
large part, the thrifty poorer classes in
Ireland holding considerable in $50
shares.
''If," said Mr. Untermeyer, "a syndi-
cate exists in England or anywhere
which is looking after American brew
cries, neither [ nor anybody to my
knowledge is able to find out. 1t is
pure fiction. Capital can be borrowed
in Europe cheaper than in America.
That is what has been done, but the
public throughout the United Kingdom
has loaned the money. No syndicate
has had anything to do with it. 1t was
done by advertising for money through
the papers. The sooner brokers and
brewers understand this the quicker
their minds will be eaSed."

CRIME INCREASING.

One of the New York papers has re-
Gently made speciality of the relations
of crime to the growth of cities in this
country. Data are gathered and COM
pacted from the police authorities of
over 100 prominent cities. These seem
to indicate that crime is more than keep
ing pace with population on the average,
in spite of all the reformatory efforts.
There is marked increase of prostitu-
ton in most of the cities, and drunken
ness among women is assuming alarm
ing proportions. 1t is the observation
of police authorities that female GRIM
mails and debauchees are, as a rule,
more hardened and less responsive to
reformative influences than the male.
1t is not found that intelligence deters
from crime so much as to produce more
cunning methods. Some of the smaller
cities are said to take the lead in i'm
morality and crime. The picture is not
an inviting one, but full of material for
grave consideration and anxious in
Quiry.
