She was proud lady, and a rich one. too,
as indicated by the fact that she owned q
pew in one of Chicago's most fashionable
churches. She wore large diamond earrings
and a costume most elaborate. In fact, she
carried with her an atmosphere of ultra re-
spectability which was almost oppressive. as
she entered church last Sunday, a trifs late,
and observed from a distance that her pew
was already occupied, and by strangers.
Walking down the aisle, with her nose in
the air as if pointing the north star, she
stopped at her pew and, turning haughtily

BE
Chicago has had good many fringe" Of
one kind or another, and some Of the people
of that city think they have discovered a
school ring. The mayor sad comptroller of
the city are among those who think there ID
such ring. It has been discovered that It
costs twice as much now to put up a school
building in Chicago as it did to erect one of
the same seating capacity fifteen years ago.
The salaries of most of the persons connected
with the grand educational bureau located in
the city hall have been doubled Every year
= large number of new Offices are created. It
now takes six general superintendents to do
the work lately performed by two. There
are also special superintendents and deputy
superintendents of all the ornamental branch
es. They are called 3'special teachers" partly
because they do no teaching, but principally
for the reason that people might think that
superintendents were becoming too numer-
ous. II is further asserted that the salaries
now paid to superintendents, several of whom
have other employment, principals. teachers,
janitors and engineers, are out of all proper
tion to what they receive in other places or
what the persons drawing them could receive
in other pursuits. Female principals, whose
education cost them nothing, receive higher
salaries than are paid the presidents and pro.
fessors employed in colleges Of high rank.
Almost every year these salaries are raised,
and, what strikes the public as strange, the
raise is made near the close of the school
year and dates back to the commencement Of
1t. Employees who have received and receipt
ed for their salaries for niue months are in
formed in the month of June that the school
board has voted them sum of money in
addition to what they expected. Even those
who have vacated their positions receive this
gratuity.
It is evident that the school System of
Chicago needs overhauling. Success to tho
mayor and those who are willing to help him
in his contest with the ring. They have a
hard task before them.

married life of Actresses.


By the way, speaking of George Gould re.
minds me that his marriage with Edith
Kingdom has been an exceedingly happy one.
They have two children, both boys. and his
wife seems to have given up all thought OF
the stage. She has taken to her domestic
life as oheerfully and fully as though she
had never the applause of the multitude and
felt the glare of the candle behind the foot
lights. Such instances are very rare indeed.
In the history of the stage in this country
few women have ever left it for domestic
life without desiring to return. Besides
George Gould's wife can recall but a few
others. Who does not remember the bsau-
tiful Agnes Esheli She married Tracy: who
kept drunk from the marriage day to the
day he died. General Ben Butler married
an actress and she never played after the
nuptials. Jesn Davenport, who was great

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Blue Monday yesterday.

Blue Monday yesterday.
Somebody is after the lotteries. No less
than six anti-lottery bills have already been
introduced this session. At least two of
them provide for the exclusion from the
mails Of newspapers and periodicals publish
ing lottery advertisements.
Professor Bruins, of Tuebingin has made
experiments with the small-bore rifle,
which is just about to be introduced into
the Belgian army, aud finds that the wounds
made at all. distances are much less danger
ous than those inflicted by other guns. At
short ranges the laceration Of the flesh is
not so marked and the soft parts are not 10
much injured, while at long ranges the shat
tering of bones decreases. The wounds re-
semble cuts, and are therefore easy to heal
The fruit industry Of California is reach-
ing gigantic proportions, and, fortunately.
along with this, the eastern demand for It's
products is equally surprising. In 1880 the
infant raising industry was compressed in
an inventory of $4,000 2O-pound boxes. In
1889 the product had been safely estimated
at 900, 900 boxes, valued at 81 500. 900. At
the same time the prune crop has been in
creasing from 1900, 600 pounds in 1885 to
5000, 600 in 1889, with value Of $400, 900.
In the wine cellar under the Hotel de Vile,
Bremen. there are twelve cases of holy wine,
each case inscribed with the name of one of
the apostles. It was deposited in its present
resting place 265 years ago. One case of this
wine, consisting of fve oxhofts Of 204 bottles,
cost 500 rix dollars in 1924. Including the
expense Of keeping up the cellar, interest on
the original outlay. and upon interest, one Of
those oxhofts would to-day cost 555, ,657, GAO
rix dollars, or about 81, ,00O. 900 bottle.

Several young men were in South End

young man who is reckoned as one of the
coming lights of the political arena, said:

out four of the five dice which were in il he
handed them to the barkeeper, and turning
the box on end he placed the remaining dice
on it, and taking his hat from his head COW
cred the box and dice with it.
"Where is that dice now." he asked one
of the men standing about.
Son top of the boz, of COURSE" was the re-
ply; "that is, if You haven't shifted it since
you put the hat down."
~ have not" said the young politician,
aud he lifted the hat again ,and sure enough,
there sat the dice on the box, just it had
been before.
He sat the hat down again and took his
hands away from it, while he asked the same
question he had in the first instance.
f'On top of the box. OF COURSE" repeated
the man who had been questioned.
"You saw it there, did youa"

"Of course would"

The first man lifted the hat, and there sat

"Hold on minute" exclaimed the young

Glddy Boston Girls.


The behavior of some we'll dressed and ap-
parently well-brought-up young women in
the street cars is shocking. Not only do
they talk and laugh in too loud q manner,
but they make personal remarks in an al
most audible voice about the other passen-
gers. They start incipient firtations with
any decent-looking young man who may
be willing to notice them, and generally con-
duct themselves as no well-regulated young
woman should. It is true that they mean no
harm; their loudpess is only healthy good
| nature; but they subject themselves to the
penalty of being misunderstood. Such
girls would be shocked if any man they had
noticed should venture to accost them, and
| yet their behavior has been little less than
an Invitation. Il is to the credit of tho
young men of Boston that they realize, ar q
| rule, that stray looks and smiles are only
intended for joke, and that they rarely en-
croach by presuming to attempt to make an
acquaintance. Some day these thouehtless
that their conduct has been, to say the least,
undigniied; for an Englishman- indeed,
any fcreigner-would not hesitate to treat q
woman who should conduct herself as many
Boston girl does in public, with scant re-
spect, and would consider that he had q
right to go any lengths with her.
Where Every woman Smokes.
LFrom the Augusta tGa.) Chronicle.l
Everybody smokes in Japan. The pipes
hold a little wad of fne-cut tobacco as big
as pea. 1t is fred, and the smoke takes
one long Whit, blowing the smoker in
cloud from his mouth and nose. The Ia
dies have pipes with longer stems than the
men, and if one of them wishes to show a
gentleman special mark of favor she lights
her pipe, take half a Whit, hands it to him
and lets him finish out the Whit.

As Struck Out in Sparks From a
Kansas Journal.
Atchison Globe.
Encourage the modest man too much
and he will becomesvain.
Getting cheated yesterday is what
teaches man to cheat to-day.
A philosopher is man who don't
want the things he can't have.
Don't blame man for being vain; he
is only what others have made him.
If husband is worth having he is
worth taking care Of.-Sent in by an
abused man.
There are two rights woman is slow
to claim-the right to an old garter and
the right to an old paper hustle.
There never was a crime committed
that dill not leave its mark on the face
the man who committed it.
Marriage with man is like the
month of March: If he goes in like
lion he never fails to come out like a
lamb.
When the women get together they
abuse the men, but it is to the credit of
the men that when they get together
they do not abuse the women.
There are 0niy two kinds OF women;
one kind thinks her husband the great
est man in the world, and the other
thinks she is a greater man than her
husband.
Give all extravaganza woman all the
money she can spend, and the harm she
does is not to herself, but to the foolish
women who try to keep up with her.

She is worrying now that her hoard of

would not buy things for herself with

MAYWHEAT GOES SKYWARD
Buying by Shorts Forces tha Price
Up to Ninety-0ne
Cents.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 12.-The wheat
market was rousing one. again to-day,
with a great many outside orders. The
advance in prices was not so much more
than yesterday, but coming on top of
an advance of nearly Sc, the action was
equally remarkable. The first few min
utes the pit was pandemonium, and
May wheat sold from S4114 to S42c in
different parts of the pit at the same
moment. Then there was bound to
S53se, the top price yesterday, reaction
to S4Slc Oh heavy realizing, second
bulge to s514c all the first hour. During
the next hour there was third bulge
to S51ac, and setback to S5@S51sc
on further taking of profits. 1t was
about noon that the second great
wave of strength came, and on this
May went to SEC, off to S5$lc, and to sec
a second time in few minutes. This
was followed few minutes later by an
other bound to S75sc for May. At the
same moment, June was close to SSc.
A feature of the day was the widening
of the gap between May and June. July
opened at S315c, sold at S511lc and mp to
SIC early; then eased off to SIC before
noon. and when May passed SIC, July
was up only to SAC, or sc discount;
whereas the discount of yesterday was
1c OF little over. This state of things
means simply this, that the strength in
May and June came largely from shorts
who are virtually cornered on the old
crop futures, while July. which is a
new crop future, was less strong on the
natural conditions. Such crop news as
came in during the day was bullish.
Dakota was cold, with high winds I'M
covering the seeds soWn. Kansas was
dry with high winds also. Crop EX-
pert Prime sent very bullish reports.
export clearances included 1000 bush
ess of wheat at New York, 10000 bush
els at Philadelphia and none at Balti-
more. The wild wheat market contiu-
ued to the close, During the last half
hour there was further advance In
prices on buying by shorts and May
sold to Gle. June to soc and July to

drawn from store: 49,445 bu wheat;
2lS.625 corn: ,a92 oats. Corn and oats
were active. strong and higher closing at
the best figures of the session. The
provision trade gave sky-rocket per-
fcrmance to-day. Prices for mess pork
started but 10 cents over last night, but
when the shorts began buying they
could get no pork. This gave immedi-
ate alarm. The shorts got wild. They
bid for the stuff. The clique houses re-
fused to sell, but helped to keep prices
