For stealing "A Senator's Boots.


You are Il poor creature" said the
Judge You ought to have known better
than to steal. Only rich men can take
things without paying for them. And
then you must steal in the great town OF
Windsor. and the boots of great man like
Senator Chase, the greatest man anywhere
around. If you wanted to steal why didn't
YOU steal in some little town in New Hamp
shire and the boots of some man who
wasn't of any consequence? And then you
must steal from him when he was on the
way to Washington, and perhaps the only
boots he had. You might have compelled
him to wait until some shoemaker made
him another pair, and shoemakers never
keep their promises. And perhaps by the
delay some important treaty might have
failed of ratification because he was not
present in the senate. What have you got
to say why you should not be sentenced to
state prison for the term of your natural
life for stealing Senator Chase's bOots?"
II have got to say that you seem to know
n derned deal more about stealth boots nor
what DOR piped the prisoner.
THAT is sound observation said the
judge, land / will give you only one month
in the county Jail, not so much for stealing
as for your ignorance in not knowing bet
ter than to steal the boots of a great man
like Senator Dudley Chase. '-Chittenden's

WARNING FOR AMERICANS.
The Good Anarchical Time is Still Coming
The dwelling.

eve invite also the rich of our own
country and city, the wealthy toadies to
European aristocracy who have recently
given us a practical demonstration of their
itchinc, for royal recognition. We ask
those recreant Americans to look upon the
work which the friends of these murdered
men have dedicated. Our comrades petit
toned them, appealed to them, almost
praved to them to hearken to the agonized
cries of the oppressed poor; but they
needed not the petition, the prayers, nor
the warnings of those whofn they nave
wronced. There will come time when
they will remember the warning prophecy
of one whom they strangied.
Dr Ernst Schmidt. the veteran socialist
of Chicago. delivered the German Grafton.
The sneaker refrained from any direct
criticism of the proceedings in the anarch-
ist trial but he gave very striking para
phrase in adverting to the celebrated
trial of Jean CALAIS, of Florence.
The red hood which developed the mon
,,rneut was drawn aside by young Albert
Parsons. who was directed by his mother,
the widow of Albert Parsons. The design
is striking. Upon u massive surface,
supported by firm base, rests rectangu-
lar pIinth Directly in front of the plinth
stands heroic group in bronze The SEN
timent embodied in this group was found
bv the ,culptor in Freiligrath's poem "The
Revo .ution.'

SCENTS a woman in attitude expressive
of defiance Her right arm, with clinched
hand. is crossed over her breast. while the
left hand is placing laurel wreath upon
the brow of her champion, who lies
stricken at her feet. Beneath the form of
the PROSTATE man fronds and sprays of
Mains are strewn. The woman's figure
stands out in bold relief, full of express
sion, and is powerfully conceived and ar
tistically executed. On the base of the
monument the last words of August Spies
are inscribed: 1.-The day will come when
our silence will be more powerful then the
voices you are throttling today"

CHICAGO, June 26.-rhe unwilling of the
granite monument to the memory of the
five anarchists-August Spies, Albert Par
sons. Adolph Fischer, Louis Lingg and
George Engel-which took place at Valid
helm cemetery, was an impressive cere-
monv More than $500 persons assembled
mt the burial ground to stamp once more
with their approval the sentiment and
actions of the men whom the state of Hi
nois found guiltyof treason and put to death
The crowd was orderly and the few police
men under whose protection the ceremony
took place found little to do beyond keep
ing the sympathizers with anarchy in line
if they surgcd through the gates of the en-
closure.
All os Them Foreign Born.
1t was a crowd of Germans, Poles and
Rohenians Scarcely an American was to
be seen and the exercises were carried on
mainly in foreign tongues. The character
of the speeches could not be called incendi-
AIRY. but rather that of mild protest
nCairlS: the existing order of government.
The ringing oratory of the days when the
red FLAG waved where it pleased was gone.
and all the enthusiasm the orators could
bring frcyn their auditors was an occasional
outburst of applause not very certain in
its sound. A marked feature OF the
oratorv. however and one which was most
literally applaudcd. was a showing of
strong animosity toward Judges Gary and
Grinnell and other officers of the law who
had been prominent in the celebrated
trial.
= Preliminary Parade
The exercises at the grave were preceded
by short parade in the city. The entire
ceremony was under the auspices of Mat
thias SchrnedinGcr. president of the
Pioneer and support association, which
has made the monument possibility and
which ever since the celebrated execution
in the ward of the Cook county jail, has
supported the widows and children of the
five anarchists. NJ. SchmedinCer opened
the exercises with few very temperate
remarks The monument was formally
rendered to the association by Sculptor
weinert Then came the English speech
by William Holmes
a Message to the Efete Despots.
He said in part: I'VE invite the noble
lords and ladies from other lands who are
soiourning in our city palaces, whose titles
to great possessions are founded upon
tyranny and robbery, who proudly boast
that neither they nor their ancestors have
ever been contaminated by labor or by
trade-we invite these aristocrats TO view
the monument which loyal hearts and
ready hands have raised up. Let them
gaze upon the stern figure of their Meme
sis and read in her defiant attitude the
prophecy of labor's deliverance Long
have they Toasted and fastened on the
spoil wrung from the laboring poor, but
the days of their triumph are already
numbered.

That Leaves Some of the Victims With a
Very Misty Knowledge of 'Where They
Are At"-A study on Sisters and Cousins
and Aunts that is Bewildering and Bone
breaking.
WASHINGTON, June 26.-Clerks in all the
official departments of the government
here have received A new set of questions
which they are required to answer for the
information of the congressional commit
tee which has inst entered on what Is said
to be a two-year's Investigation into the
workings of the executive departments of
the government in Washington. The in
quiries propounded have struck the major
ity of the clerical force with mingled con-
sternation and amusement. The intrica-
cies of consanguinity and affinity they are
required to unravel are quite beyond the
powers of many of them.
Decidedly Personal Queries.
The first two questions propounded on
these topics are comparatively easy. Each
government employe is required to declare
whether he has a son or daughter, an uncle
or aunt, a cousin, nephew or niece, or
grandfather or grandmother in the ser
vice of the Washington departments After
he or she has overcome these preliminary
difficulties it is then made necessary
for each to declare whether there is in the
government service any great grandfather
or great grandmother, or great grandson
or great granddaughter, and then follows
a bewildering list of great uncles' sons
and great uncles' daughters, great uncles'
grandsons and great uncles' granddaught-
ers and cousins of every other degree.
Worse Than Complicated Marriage.
After these come questions as to the de-
grees of affinity, and these are most per
picking of all. After the gentle female
clerk has declared upon honor that she
has no grandson-in-law,n granddaughter
in-law, or no granddaughter or grandniece
in-law in any of the government depart
ments, she or her fellow clerk of the oppo-
site sex is required to make declaration
that there is now to the best of her or his
knowledge or belief no pers IN in any
branch of the government service barring
towards herself or himself the following
