THE CHICAGO STRIKE.
The Spirit and Letter OF the Law
Violated.


Detectives have been at work among
the gangs of carpenters employed by
the Chicago bosses who are fight
ing the eight-hour movement and it is said
will make some startling disclosures. In
order TO learn the movement OF old bosses
they, in conjunction with the union carpen-
tiers, put J0J union men at work for the old
bosses. They are mostly French Cana
nadians. These 700 spies or detectives
have for more than a week been mingling
with the more or less important men en-
ployed by the old bosses, and sounding
them on the relation they sustain to their
employers. 1t is said these spies have
gathered evidence showing that the alien
contract labor law has been violated both in
spirit and letter. 1t is even intimated that
one of the spies was dispatched to Canada
by q would be employer OF carpenters with
instructions TO bring TO Chicago 100 carpen-
tiers and to guarantee them work at the
rate of go cents per hour for six months.
From the evidence thus gathered several
prosecutions, the authorities say, will be
begun as soon as the evidence can be got in
proper shape.

THE ISHMAELITES.
Four Hundred Families ofCriminals
Traced To Ben Ishmael.

From one familyhave come all the Grim
inals in Indiana. A chart sent from Indian
apolis to the conference of charities and
corrections showed All families in that city
all connected by marriage with the "rribe
OF lshmael" for the center. These families
are all paupers and every crime of conse-
quence that has ever been committed in In
dianapolis since it was Incorporated was
done by them. The 'tribe' originated in
Pennsylvania, but the first knowledge Of it
was in "Old Ben" lshmael and his wife,
Jennie lshmael. They were described by
Fennimore Cooper in his novel 1.-THE
Prairie" the man as "Ishmael Bush' OF
Skirtng Ishmael, and the woman as
Esther Bush. They were Ken lucky out
casts and outlaws and toward the close of
book IT. is said that they went out toward
the Platte region and never were heard OF
af,erward. The date is given as ls02. The
mental, moral and physical characteristics
of the Ishmaels of today, Ben lshmaeps
grandsons, correspond exactly with the
descriptions given by Cooper. or the old
mans sons and daughters, Sallie married
Louis Meyer, son Of Ben Meyer, the
friend and companion of Daniel Boone !;
hose married John Irwin, a murderer, and
John married Betsy Harbot, u half breed
Indian. OF the tribe in Indiana this last
couple is the center. The lines of marriage
radiate in every direction, binding together
In n net work nearly every family of pau
pers and criminals in Indiana. Moral con
siderations never enter into their calcula
tions. The divorce courts are monopolized
by this class In one family there is n
record of five marriages for each OF three
children and OF seven marriages for the
fourth daughter. In the next generation
one OF this family has been married nine
times. She is about III years old.

Dynamite Iucy.

CHICAGO, June Mrs. Parsons in a
speech Sunday at the meeting of the
"Arbeiter Bund" said dynamite was to be
the liberator of the human race, not that
people should 20 round with bombs and
destroy human life, but that as gunpowder
had abolished the power of the feudal
barons, so would dynamite in tho hands Of
the working classes render the armies OF
the capitalists unless in street fight.

The So-Called Modern Ideas
of Education.

The opinion held by many people,
who have never had their attention es-
peCially turned to the work of Jean
Jacques Rousseau, is not that he was
benefactor of his kind, but in reality he
was one of the first apostles of modern
methods of education, and it is only af-
ter these lapse of years that his ideas
have come to be widely adopted. 1t is
he who once said that we came into
the world ignorant, but with capacity {;
that education begins at birth that
we learn incredibly in the first few
years and that as impressions sup
ply our first knowledge, those impress
siOns should be of the best, and should
be presented in their right order that
the first cry ef child is a request, the
second a command that tdestuctiVeness
in a child is not cruelty, but activity !;
that the sin of children is their weak
ness, that strength brings about virtue,
and he who can do all things will nev-
er do wrong things. This we see to be
undoubtedly good reasoning in the
light thrown on the subject of late
years, and understanding now how
greatly our children are affected
by what they see us to be, we compre-
hend more fully what Thales meant
when he said that men must live in the
consciousness that all around them is
filed with gods, and that this should
keep them more chaste than if they
were in the holiest of temples.-Har.

Never a Kingdom Without Its
Queen.

There was never kingdom without
its queen. 1t is not true however that
a woman is at the bottom of all mis-
chief, by which is meant in this con-
nection that woman has not always to
do with political events. Men and ma
tions have too many causes of quarrel,
have too many inspirations to action to
warrant the selection of one cause out
of the myriad as the controlling infu-
ence of the world. 1t is somewhat the
custom to think of women as exerting
a strong power over the men who gov
ern states, and there are historic exam
Piles sustaining the reflection. There
are Elizabeth, Catharine and Victoria.
PeriCles sat at the feet of the Milesian
beauty. The wives of our Presidents
are exceedingly interesting and much
talked about figures in their various
administrations. The whole country
has participated in the discussion on
the stirring questions of etiquette be-
tween the wives of the Supreme Court
Judges and the wives of the Senators /;
in the ambitious English of the capital
city these people are called cabinet
ladies" and Senatorial ladies'" The
veriest tyro in England must have
learned of the high esteem in which
members of the Primrose League nold
themselves Women have doubtless
made and ruined statesmen. General
ly, in an instance of ruin at all events,
it is the mans own lookout, and no one
else is specially injured. The general
ly gentler sex have been responsible
for wars and other national calamities.
st. EvremOnd says: LES piques du C.
de Richelieu ct du Due de Buckingham
pour une suscriptiOne de Iettre, ont
armee PAngleterre contra la France"
And yet, Notwithstanding the older
and respectable theory, women have
very little to do with politics, and old
fashioned people, whose standards of
excellence are their wives and mothers
are rather glad of it. In France in old
times, when the game of politics was
the game ofpersOnal ambitions, woman
had supremacy in politics which she
has never enjoyed since. The truth is,
when nations began to be governed
with some regard to the body of people
who furnished forth the armies with
which kings and mobiles accomplished
their objects, Frenchmen were rather
amused by feminine political arts, and
one of their writers has ungallantly
prOpOunded the theory that the myth
which represents Minerva as springing
from the brain of Jove is intended to
signify that wisdom never comes from
the brain of woman.
However all this may be, the woman
who exerts the best and most stimulat-
ing influence over men of affairs is the
woman at home-the woman in whose
company Ant8us feels as if he were
again in touch with refreshing and in
vigorating mother Earth. The woman
in politics thus far in the worlds his
tory has not been so lOvable as her
meeker and nobler sisters, and has not
had that large share in mans especial
work which report has given her.

1t matters little for the permanencv
of the interests involved as the end
always-"Justifies the means" Now
to illustrate, pardon a few figures,
which however like everything else
under human control are capable of
lying awfully, but not in this instance.
HOW A TOWN IS MADE.
Since three years ago one million
and five hundred thousand dollars has
been invested in this city, (Cordele) in
all kind of enterprises. A $4,000 Hotel
was commenced and Immediately fol-
lowed by a $4,000 Opera House.
Then a Guano Company was organ
lied with capital of 100000. Then
an ice making plant was asinaugurateda at
$4,000, after this came shoe factory
where the wOrkmen stand up to forms
and turn out Congress Caters nearly
as fast as your basket factories turn
out fruit carriers. Then of course a
barrel factory found good opening,
as the general want of barrels decided
the directors to locate.
Let me tell you little anecdote
about barrels. The Japanese, as YOU
know are the most ingenious people
in the Orient. 1t seems that the deli
cate traces on their Lacqured wares
are so exquisite in design as to baf-
file the mind in attempting to unravel
the mystery of the workmanship. In
making Barrel however the Japanese
bow to the higher genius of the far
and woody West in this peculiar branch
of mechanics.
In making barrel it is said to be
necessaryfor japanese to get inside to
hold the head up and after which pro.
cess it becomes necessary to bore him out
of the bung hole. This accounts why in
most Biographies the Japanese are a lit
tie less numerous than the Chinese who
do not attempt the barrel business. Then
follow machine shops, Cotton factories,
congresses, ETC., until you see the In
vestment Company has plenty of
friends in Court and prospers exceed
ingly well.
Pure spring water, electric lights and
a marshal of police give civilizlng
aspect to the new city and the world
goes on apace.
