At Green Bay Joseph Sprutels had
narrow escape from being shot yes
terday and it is probable he would have
been if it had been for his presence of
mind and bravery. The trouble rose over
dog that Sprutels used to own but is now
owned by boy named Joe Peters, who is
about thirteen years old. The Sprutels boy
is a cripple and walks with difficulty, yet he
is strong. Yesterday afternoon while on
Main street, near Peters house he saw the
dog and whistled to him. The animal
ran out and capered about its former mas
ter. Young Peters saw the proceedings
and became terribly angry; ne ordered
young Sprutels to leave and never to call
the dog again. Words were exchanged,
and the Peters BOY became more angry and
said he would shoot him. He went into
the house and came back with 80 caliber
revolver, which he pointed at Sprutels, at
tempting to cock it. Seeing the dan ,er
he was in, the boy seized the weapon and
wrenched it from Peters, and turned it
over to Officer Olson, who arrested the
Peters boy.

German Congregational church, Racine,

have to desist or she would be elected from

and services were finished unmolested.
The trouble dates back to last June, when
Mrs. Albrecht had Mr.. Hanson arrested,
charged with using abusive language to
her and calling her bad names.

WIRE AND w IRE ROPE.

1t is remarkable to what an extent wire
and wire rope are displacing hemp and
cotton ropes, once so much IN vogue, re-
marked prominent Washington hard
ware mer chant to reporter. This will
be noticed right in the homes as we'll as IN
the workshops and large business build
ings. 1t is not so very long ago that the
majority of beds were corded, while now
days they are provided with mattresses.
Not only this, but there are now manufac-
tured wire pillows, wire holsters and wire
upholstery lining, all Of which meet with
large and increasing sale. One reason for
the growth in popularity of the innovation
lies in the fact that wire offers no ground
for vermin or disease germs. The medi-
cal profession greatly favor its use, both in
hospitals and dwellings. The same
NAV be said of the use of wire
for clothes lines. Some years ago
it was discovered that the old fashioned
ropes harbored minute life, and in some
instances were infected with the germs of
malignant diseases. This caused rush
for wire clothes lines 1t is said that in
1860 there was not yard of it in use,
while now there are thousands of miles
employed. You haze, perhaps, noticed
how the sash cords Of your windows have
a faculty of giving out occasionally. This
is due more from the ravages of decay
and minute insects than by actual wear
from usage. The advantage Of substitut-

style sash cord is now recognized by all

by examining the better class of new

Took Him for the Apostle.

A gentleman in st. Paul was being
driven home late at night and when in a
street unfrequented at that hour he observ-
ed a well dressed man with a load that he
had better have gone for twice. evidently
followed by two suspicious looking char
acters. Prompted by his well known kind
ness of heart, he drew up to the sidewalk,
and accosting the stranger, asked him if
he would like to be driven home. With
drunken gravity the man took off his hat
and said he was entirely unfamiliar with
the city, and it he could be carried to the
Ryan e would greatly appreciate it. On
being assisted to the rotunda of the hotel
he presented his card and insisted on know
ing the name of his benefactor.
'Oh, that's all right said the citizen,
anybody would be glad to be of service
to a stranger.
But you must tell me, persisted the
man. u want to know to who I am in

"Well, if that's the case, just give the
credit to st. Paul." replied the bashful
rescuer.
The inebriated man grasped his hand
gratefully, and with a choky utterance said,

tention Called to Them.


tention Called to Them.
Some of the constables seem to be good
deal stirred up over the article which appeared
in last Sundays HERALD, charging them with
dislatoriness in making their returns on writs.
Speaking of the matter Justice L. l. O'Neal
said: "There was not word in that article
that was untrue You have not told half the
truth. | must say that THE HERALD has done
what it seems the law could not do-make
these constables render returns as they should
do. One constable, who is making specially
loud complaints, ought to keep his mouth
shut. He keeps executions back long over
date, and as a consequence the party in inter-
est will lose several hundred dollars. There
is a good foundatio for suit against his
bondsmen. AS far as the complainings and
vaporings of the other constables are con-
cerned, they are not worth noticing. These
fellows ought to be disciplined The laws
are such here that it is impossible to keep
them in order except by trial of newspaper"
Said Lawyer Duhamel: "Yes, what you
said was true, but there was no question of
money involved in the delay in the return.
There is ample remedy for the constables neg
lect in such cases.
Said Justice Charles Walter "Yes, it is all
true. 1t is shameful We ought to have law
passed regulating specifically the duties of
constables."

The New York stock market the past week

that prices showed any material change

brought about lower prices all through the
list. Gold shipments have broken out afresh,
and $4.250, 900 was engaged to go out ON yes
terday's steamers. This is the largest amount
for export on record for one day. 1t is stated
on good authority that next week will wind
up these shipments. We have never made
prediction, but will now say that we do not
believe that any large amounts will be shipped
after the 1st of July. We still believe that
stocks are a purchase on the decline, but
some Judgment should be used in making
selection. We expect to see much higher
prices before the end of July and the old divi-
dend-paying stocks will do to buy on reason

A WARNING TO HOUSEKEEPERS

Don't Leave Your Silver Where Thieves
Can See 1t From the Street.
Said detective: SIN passing through the
side streets during such weather as we have
had lately one often sees through the open
windows on the ground floor sideboards on
which are displayed articles of table furniture
of silver. Persons who leave their plate ex-
posed in that way are just hanging out invita-
tions for thieves to call. Sneak thieves are
always prowling about during the day mark
ing down places they intend to visit at the
first favorable opportunity. Half their work
is done If they know there is something in
house worth stealing. There are good many
housekeepers who indulge In this risky and
careless custom. In their own interest people
ought to keep silver and valuables of port
able kind in such places that passersbY will
not be able to see them. The first thing they
know thieves will swoop down on their houses
and rob them, and any one inJeruptng them
might get hurt, for these professional
house thieves always go prepared to fight
their way out of house rather than suffer
capture,

ACADEMY OF THE VISITATION.
A Well-Arranged Musical Programme
Admirably Rendered.


The closing exercises of the Academy of the
Visitation, Georgetown, were held on Wednes-
day evening, June "a, and the spacious hall
was filled to overfowing with very appre-
ciative audience. The programme opened
with one of Schubert's marches, arranged for
pianos, violins, and harps. The superiority
of the musical department of the academy has
long been acknowledged, but the programme
of Wednesday displayed even higher standard
of excellence than that of previous years. 1t
is difficult matter to single out for special
commentator any particular numbers for
all from first to last was worthy of note, as
was evidenced by the constant hearty applause
of the audience. The Chopin ''Scherzo' in
B-fat minor received q remarkable interpreta-
tion at the hands of Miss Lillian Daily. Her
fortissimo passages were particularly striking,
although the delicate melody was played with
an ease and lightness that left little to be de-
sired. Miss May Seep, in Weber's ''Polacca
Brillante,'' reflected much credit on her long
convent training. The young lady has been a
pupil of the academy for eight years, and
consequently has received her entire musical
education from the good sisters. minuet
by Scharwenka was admirably arranged as a
double quartette for harps and pianos, while
Tschaikowsky "Chant Sans Paroles" for the
same instruments proved that the musical de-
partment of the Academy kept pace with the
progressive spirit of the times. Among the
vocal soloists Miss Amy Dixon deserves spe-
cial praise for her sweet girlish rendering of
Fesca's SIN Springtime." Her voice is high
soprano, clear, and true, showing very careful
cultivation. Miss Lillian RELY has a rich
contralto voice, and sang with much feeling
Cowen's pathetic ballad, "The Angel Came"
Rubinstein's "Yearnings," always beautiful,
lost none of its charm as executed by Miss
Cecily Armes. There was sympathetic ring
to the young girls voice that gave great prom
ise for the future. The exercises closed with
a march from Beethoven, arranged, as was
the entrance one, for pianos, harps, and
violins, in which the fair musicians covered
themselves with honor The entire pro-
gramme was we'll selected and admirably ex-
ecuted, It's brevity being the only defect re-
marked by the enthusiastic audience.
