like Dutchman and was drunk" He gave
the name of Henry DOud. and il WIS ms

In both these cases there il small doubt
but that the moral suasion" used wat
justihable and that the officers exceeded
their authority little II any. BE that as II
may. however, two Of the most despicable
assassins OF the day hnve confessed. and
are liable to sutfer the extreme penalty OF
the law for their fiendish crimes.
Meanwhile the third degree artists of the
Chicago force are In hot water. The
Herald OF that city accuses them OF trying
70 convict the innocent "by suppressing
evidence for the defense and manufactur
ing testimony for the prosecution" and
cites tho facts OF three trials at which judge
and jury practically denounced the police
as conspirators who were attempting 70
thwart the ends of justice
In one of these cases three young men
were charged with murder. II was shown
that one Of the prosecuting witnesses, n po
liceman, had fred the fatal shot and the
defendants were acquitted. Their counsel
made scathdng speech from which the
following IL an extract:
~ Wholesale assault has been made
upon innocent young girls and boys, and
against the old as we'll ~ the young,
against whom the breath Of suspicion has
not blown. by the police in this case. They
have assailed the good name Of man and
woman TO break down this strong defense
In their attempt 70 put this cowardly, cruel
crime on these defendants. But, gentle
men, you will not believe this manufac.
tured prosecution. cold blooded. cruel and
calculated conspiracy by these two police
men. manufactured by them TO hang these
three defendants and shield themselves
from this awful crime"

PRESS COMMENTS.
Endorses Their Action.

We note, as an indica ton of the
growing anti-saloon sentiment in
this country, the announcement re-
ported to have been made by the
chief justice of the Vermont supreme
court that he and his associates have
decided to adopt new system in re-
gard to the punishment of offenders
against the liquor laws. Vermont
but rarely has any penalty been in
f1icted for violation of the law other
than a fine. Under such a system
the liquor-dealer pays fine when
detected in illegal selling, instead of
paying license fee for the privilege
of selling. The only advantage in
prohibition thus enforced-if there be
any advantage at all-is the very
slight moral effect of statute declar-
ing the trade to be illegal. The in
Fiction of fine for a first violation of
the law is, in many cases, legitimate,
but it is quite absurd to go on i'm
posing a fine year after year upon a
habitual offender. If it is worth
while to put the law on the statute
book, it is worth while to enforce it
and it is clear that when the penalty
for the violation of the law is a fine
less i'll amount than the profit made
by violation there is no enforcement.
We hope that the announcement OF
the chief justice indicates an inten-
ton to follow the fine, in the case OF
habitual offenders, with imprison-
ment.-[ Christian Union.

about them. Senator Morrill, was

GROWTH OF TYPE WRITING.

The public can form some idea of
the wonderful growth of the type
writer business from the fact that
the business of single typewriter
mandatory has more than doubled
in the last three years, and from the
further fact that the business for the
first two months of this year exceed
ed the business of the same two
months of last year by $16O,OOO
At this rate the increase alone will
be nearly $1,OOO,OOO for the whole
year, says the Chicago Mail. If the
increase in one year is 100000,
you will see that the gross business
for the year must be a good many
million dollars. From very small
beginning the present force employed
at the factory has increased from
year to year until it is now some
thing over 700 workmen, and the
sales agents for the typewriter now
dispose of a finished machine every
five minutes. When you stop to
think that the typewriter is the
latest labor-saving machine brought
before the public, and that about
fifteen years ago it was very little
known, this wonderful growth seems
like fairy tale.

THE EASTERN MAN IN OKLAHOMA.

The West is always full of hope to
the old man as well as to the young
one, and the temptation to "own
your own home" and to gain 16O
acres Of land for the asking is very
great. But the Eastern man should
consider the question carefully. There
is facing the passenger who arrives
on the New York train at Sedalia a
large black and white sign on which
some philanthropist has had painted
GO East, Young Man, Go East"
One might write pages and not tell
more than that sign does, when one
considers where it is placed and for
what purpose it is placed there. A
man in Oklahoma City when the
days work is done has before him
prospect of broad red clayey streets,
muddy after rain, bristling with dust
after drought, with the sun setting
at one end of them into the prairie.
He can go to his cottage, or to the
Turf" where he can lose some
money at faro, orhe can sit in one Of
the hotels, which are the clubs of the
city, and talk cattle to strangers and
real estate to citizens, or he can join

Once or twice week show" makes
one-night stand at the opera house.
The schools are not good for his chill
dren as yet, and the society that he is
willing his wife should enjoy is limited.
On Sunday he goes to church, and
eats a large dinner in the middle of
the day, and walks up to the top of
the hill to look over the prairie where
ne and many others would like to
build, but which must remain empty
until the twelve different disputants
for each holding have stopped ap-
pealing to higher courts. This is
actually the case, and the reason the
city has not spread as others around
it have done. AS the Romans shorten
ed their swords to extend their
boundaries, so the people of Okla
homa City might cut down some OF
their higher courts and increase theirs.

HIS ASHES UNDER A RosEBUsH.

The poetic element in the character
of the late c. Jerome Cary, whose
body has been cremated at Detroit,
will find lasting and beautiful eX-
preston if what are said to be his
wishes are carried out by his family
1t was his oft-expressed desire that
his ashes should be given to his in
innate friend, c. c. Whitnall, the we'll
known florist, to be buried beneath
a rosebush of a variety of which he
was particularly fond. Only his very
intimate friends knew that Mr. Cary
was passionately fond of flowers and
of roses in particular. He was in the
habit Of spending a great deal of
time among Mr.. Whitnall's flowers,
and the latter was well acquainted
with the poetic side of his nature
To him Mr.. Cary frequently confided
how to carry out his wish, if it is
decided to have it done.
If it is done, Mr.. Whitnall will place
the urn containing Mr.. Clay's ashes
in spot which he will select in his
greenhouses, and plant over it
rOsebush in such a position that the
roots will strike down into it. He
will sink a brick wall around it, to
keep other roots from striking it, so
that only the rosebush will reach
the ashes. Mr.. Whitnall will plant
a small LIE Marche rose, of which
variety Mr.. Cary was very fond, and
he will nurse it carefully until it be-
comes tree. This variety of rose
grows to height of ten or twelve
feet and blossoms profusely. 1t is
said that at this time of the year a
full-grown tree will have from 1000
to 5000 blossoms
1t is learned positively this after
noon that the ashes will be buried
under a rosebush as stated above

ELECTRIC LIGHT AND THE EYES

The complaint is much less heard
now than it was formerly. but still it
is sometimes heard, that the electric
light is injurious to the eye Most
people have learned that it is just as
easy to save the eyes from the electric
light by the exercise of little COM
mon sense, as it is to injure them by
the neglect of them. For perfect
illumination there is no necessity for
the actual source of light to be visi-
BILE. 1t may be diffused by means
either of frosted lamps, dioptric
shades or silk shades. The light will
be much more pleasing, and the loss
in light will be found to be much less
than is usually supposed. A proper
ly illuminated room is one in which
the light is evenly distributed, and
no irritation is caused by the source
of it being too apparent Electrical
engineers are beginning to recognize
that the diffusion of light is an art in
itself.-]Pittsburg Despatch.

MEN ARE NEWSPAPER READERS.

Men are distinctively newspaper
readers. do not imply by this that
they never read anything beyond the
newspaper. But busy man-and
the successful man can be naught
else-has little time for the careful
reading of periodicals or books.
And, with the completeness of the
modern newspaper, especially the
Sunday issues, covering as it does
every phrase of thought, he is more
satisfied to have his reading end
there than he was 10 or Is years
ago. Undoubtedly men take up
the magazines of the day, but to
leaf the Century" or run over"
the pictures in "Harper's," or dip"
into some North American Re-
view" article is as far as hundreds of
them go. This fact is substantiated
by glance at the subscription list
of any of our great magazines.
Three-fourths of the subscribers are
women. Of course, there are men
are men of leisure. But how many
men of leisure have we in our modern
life? The American man has still to
learn the lesson long ago learned by
his English brother, that day
equally divided between business and
leisure means greater and surer
wealth than day entirely given over
to business. The Englishman reads
far more than does the American.
and mainly for the reason outlined
above If careful statistics could be
collected on the reading done by
men in this country-not the men of
literary pursuits. who read because
it is to their benefit that they shall do
so, but the reading done by the great
average run of American men-the
figures, [ warrant, would be surpris-
ing Exchange.
