George Z. Ber.on, who resides on In

one of the animals, a bay mare, and re-
oeived g tremendous shock The car was
attached to q cable train and sped on

returned and sxpsrieaced q succession of
slight shocks, which gradually died away
O. the mare became cooler from standing.
Benton then hsd the mare trotied Up and
down the street for ten minutes She
came back in q foAn and was taken at
once 70 the damp ground. A dozen men
then formed hAnds. first wetting the soles
Of their shoes thoroughly in the horse

iron masters as to the degree of thinnees
to which cold iron could be rolled. In one
case the sheets have been rolled to an
average thickness or thinness of the
eighteen -hundredth part of an inch in
other words, 1900 sheets of this iron,
piled one upon the other, would measure
only one inch in thickness. And this mar
velous fneness of work may be readily
understood when the fact is borne in
mind that the great number of 1900
sheets of the thinnest tissue paper meas
ures q slight fraction over an inch. 1t
also appears that these wonderful iron
sheets were perfectly smooth and easy to
write upon, notwithstanding the fact of
their being porous when held up in q
strong light.
All the people of Kansas are not infect
ed with foolish notions about finance and
railroads. 1t has been argued in Kansas
that if freight charges could be reduced
the farmers would get higher prices for
their products. Ex Governor Anthony of
the Kansas railroad commission says: We
are bowling about cheap rates in Kansas.
If we could haul our wheat from Kansas
fields to the Liverpool market at 81 ton
that wheat would not bring a cent more to
the Kansas farmer than it does now. When
rates go down it is the consumer, not the
producer, who gets the advantage When
rates go up the prices go up to the con-
sumer. 1t is the incoming rates that
Kansas is interested in. This principle
that freight rates concern only the con-
sumer is fundamental law, but it is as
much as mans life is worth to state it.
Foreigners in Japan and other heather
countries often abuse the privileges ex-
tended to them. ''An American" said a
Boston man, with whom was personally
acquainted, although he lived in that por-
ton of the city not usually occupied by
foreigners, residing there because he was
employed by the japanese Government,
once claimed that his house was American
territory, and his claim was allowed by
the then Prime Minister. The British have
invariably maintained this position, and
so have the Germans. Hence there is a
great deal of friction between the Japanese
officials and foreign residents The Japan
ese are exceedingly anxious to do away en-
tirely with these ex-territoriRl privileges,
and treaty was made with the United
States in which their claim in this direction
was scceded to. The treaty has never been
ratified by the Senate, however. sm

tice is given to the Japanese and Chinese

tries will never he improved"

SOMF STOOENT 0FUN-o

The outrageous conduct of some Yale
students at the Grand Opera House Satur-
day evening again calls attention to nui-
sance which should be relentlessly abated.
Nobody objects to the good spirits of
young men and nobody objects to their
having fun if that fun is not of vicious
character or does not infringe upon the
plain rights of others. But people who go
to the theatres in this town often see exhi-
bitions of student "fun" which are vicious,
vulgar and regardless of the rights of 9TH
ers. Perhaps the whelps who make the
fun do not know how it appears to 9th
ers any more than they care. We will tell
them. In the first place their fun is often
intensely cruel. 1t is often, perhaps usu-
ally, aimed at some woman on the stage
who does not happen to suit their
critical taste. They make her the object
of ironical applause, greet her with horse
Tor donkey laughs, try to recall her after
she has left the stage, and in other ways
insult her. The poor victim does the best
she can to please them and the rest of the
audience. She is trying to earn a living
for herself, and perhaps for others. She
is sensitive and perhaps conscious that
she is notTa star of the first magnitude in
the theatrical armament. But she knows
she is worth all she gets from her mer-
cenary manager. She may be (and there are
many such on the stage) a woman of solid
character. But whatever she is abe does
not like to be openly Knocked and laughed
at. 1t hurts her as keenly as she feels
honest applause. When we have seen
such a one trembling, red with shame and
wrath, trying to keep back her tears aud
get through her part without breaking
down we have wondered how even very
young puppies could be 80 cruel as to
continue to worry her. Vicious and vul-
gar they certainly are.
1t is not to be expected that those who
do not consider the rights of the people on
the stage will pay any attention to the
rights of the rest of the audience. They
do not. Those who want to see even q
poor show allowed to proceed in peace and
quiet cannot. They must be disturbed and
il-treated also. And whether the show be
poor or good they are walked over at every
intermission by the loud youth in search
of air or beer, or both.
We do not mean to say that most of the
students at Yale are not we'll behaved.
They are. Most of them do not go to the
theatres often, and many not at all. But
there is gang land this is the right word
for them) who, flown with insolence, and
often with beer, think nothing of brutally
insulting people on the stage or in the
audience. They should be treated just as
any other loafers who might act similarly

Another "Holy Moses Day, Advo-
cate.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
The communication in your issue of
Saturday morning entitled ga Plea for
Holy Moses Day." by our fellow citizen,
Mr.. John Adt, is very ftly and fully &C
BILE people. The latter day practice of
hoisting the American flag on the 17sh of
March to do honor to the patron saint of
the Irish people is not only supreuely
ridiculous, but an outrage to our national
ensign, which is strictly American in its
Specification, and is not supposed to rep
resent any foreign principle or reflect any
foreign sentiment. IF our Celtic citizens
choose to celebrate the occasion in their
own way it is all very well, but our ma
tional colors should not be SO prostituted
as to play prominent part in the festivi-
tives With as much propriety we might
run up our colors on the anniversary of
Queen Victoria's birthday. to please the
English element of our population, as to
tickle our Irish citizens by O like demon
stration on ST. Pstrick's day. When we
reflect that our public schools of late years
dants a half holiday on the l7th of March
| in honor of this same saint of odd Ireland
who at best WAS only a myth, according &C
good authority, we have resson TO enter 4
strong protest against the silly innovation.
1t was only q few years ago that some
admirer of st. Patrick in our State legis
lature introduced resolution to have the
national colors run up over the Capitol, al
Hartford, on the anniversary in question
but the resolution happily did not find
general favor in that authoritative body
Could anything be more ridiculous than
the effrontry thus exhibited by that aspir
| ing statesman
In fact, the whole proceeding is fol
political effect and nothing else, and thi'
is what excites our disgust more, If any
thing, than the mere sentiI aent of reviv
ing the memory of the man--elevsted to
saintship-wnoseo only great deed seems Il
have consisted in banishing the tosds an'
snakes from the Emerald Isle. If thi
thing is to continue we voice the PROPOSE
ton of Mr.. Adt, and say, ny all mean

fFroTn the Chicago Herald
Many who have read that sweet and sim
pie love story, Paul and Virginia" do
not believe that it is really founded on
facts. Yet such is said to be the case.
Thomas Wilkinson, an Euglishman, who
has resided in the islAnd of Madagascar for
thirty years, says that Paul and Virginia
were characters of flesh and blood, and
not mere creatures of the novelist's imsgi-
nation. However, 1t is not denied that the
facts in history were embellished srtisti-
cslly by the author of the story. About
five hundred miles east of Madagascar 10
situated a small island thirty miles square
known as Mauritius. When ii was first
found by white men there were no traces
of former possession of any people. Tho
Dutch fret settled the island, and II be-
came q productive spot in raising sugar.
Then the French took possession of 1t, and
finally the English obtained control. Now

Bristol & Sons are selling out. Our con-
nection with the new Bristol Shoe Manu-

makes this imperative. Our entire stock
of boots and shoes must be out of our
store within the next six weeks. $4,000
worth of boots and shoes must be sold.
Former prices knocked out, positively.
This sacrifice beats them all.
Friday morning, December 18th, our
prices will be cut all along the line, and
bargains unheard of will be offered.
We determined after 80 years Of business
to manufacture aud sell our own goods,
and as a consequence our Bristol Shoe
Manufacturing company was organized
last month. It's finished product is now
ready for our disposition. We must use
our own new shoes and therefore must
clean out all other makes.
The consideration for cost or former
prices is out of the question. 'Twould be
folly to look elsewhere for shoes of the same
grade at our prices. Raw leather cannot
be bought as cheap. We mention few of
