He'll Gate the Drivers Hunting
Ground.

He'll Gate, by the way, is great field
for divers, when regular work is slack.
Many time I've "worked the Gate on
spec," as we say. On one occasion /
stumbled upon valise that containd
$50 in money and number of fishing
reels. One tour has yielded me crop
of twenty-four anchors and on another
I came across the wreck of sloop load
ed with scrap iron, that l sold. 1t was
the wreck of the Warrior, and had lain
peacefully at the bottom of He'll Gate
since 1856. working old bottoms" "
like the Warrior, is another way divers
have OF putting in slack time. Every
diver has record OF old bottoms. Some
years ago, when copper was high, two
divers got 700 bars out OF wreck that
had been sunk off Saybrook about forty

Tree planting on the streets of Orc
lando, Fla. is encouraged by bounty
of fifty cents for each tree in good con-
dition, after one year of growth. The
work is being done under an ordinance
passed two years ago. 1t provided that
the variety to be planted must be the
water oak. in size not less than two
inches in diameter at point two feet
above the ground. The trees must not
be less than ten feet in height. and
they are to be set out at stated dis
tances apart and seven feet from the
street bound of the adjacent lot. Thir-
ty days after planting the trees are in
spected by committee, and for each
one in good condition twenty-five
cents is paid in city warrants upon the
treasury, At the end of the year sim
liar sum is paid if the tree still flour
ishes. Larger trees may be planted by
the property owners, provided they
are uniform in size, but the city pays
no more for them. There seems to be
no difficulty in finding men who are
willing to make contracts with prop
erty owners to put out and care for the
trees, assuming all risks, and relieving
the owners of the labor and care.

A Washington Woman's Enterprise.

According to some statistics quietly
circulated in Washington, distinctly
English style of adding to ones in
come prevails in unlooked-for quar-
tiers. 1t is well known that in London
the hanson cabs are owned and run at
fine profit by man of distinguished
title. To Washington society woman
has occurred the idea of emulating such
an illustrious example by operating a
similar industry. She buys up from
time to time carriages in varying
states of repair or dilapidation and
runs them as 'night-liners." This fact
she has, of course, endeavored. to keep
from her friends, as she wisely grasps
the fact that while they one and all
would be nothing loath to benefit
themselves by such an unusual enter
prise they would be the first to turn
and rend her for going into the business
that now nets her comfortable sum.

WAR-WORN SICILY.
1t Has Been the Battle Ground of Europe
for Many Years.

for Many Years.
The insurrection in Sicily, which has
caused so much alarm in Italy, is not
something that is new to the island,
Belgium has been called the cock pit
of northern Europe, but Sicily has
been the most remarkable of all inter-
national arenas. Ancient geographers
calle it Trinacria, meaning Triangle
Land" which was very appropriate
name.
One of its main capes stretches out
toward Greece, another toward north
ern Africa, and the third toward the
mainland of Italy thus, as it were, in
viting invaders from as many different
points of the compass.
Three thousand years ago, and long
before the foundation of Rome, Sicily
was the scene of fierce struggles be-
tween the aborigines and people whose
home was somewhere on the other side
of the Straits of Messina
Seven centuries before the Christian
era, great cities were built in Sicily;
but series of civil wars covered the
island with nuin, and seaport after sea-
port fell into the hands of the Garth
aginians. Eventually the island be-
came Roman province. but in the
year A. d. 440, it was conquered by the
Vandals: they, in turn, being expelled
by the Ostrogoths.
SaracenS and Normans. Spaniards
and French have fought for the do
minion of the island, and in the era of
the first French empire Sicily proved
fatal apple of discord. England
claimed the island; France insisted
that it was part of the kingdom of
Naples and the war that ensued only
ended with Waterloo.
The present agrarian insurrection
may spread across the Straits of Mes
sina, or even to the gates of Rome, and
possibly fulfill the prediction of an
Italian deputy, who recently warned
his countrymen that the revolt was but
the beginning of the end for the dy-
nasty of ctor Emmanuel

Would Not Help Debs.

GALEsBURG, ILL.,, July 3.-Grand
Master H. E. Wilkinson of the Brother
hood Trainmen reoei@N last week
numerous kilograms and letters from
members of the brotherhood in strike
centers asking what stand they should
take toward the strike. He gave out
the following for publication;
The Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men as an organization cannot sanction
tie Pullman strike. 1t has no affiliation
whatever with the American Railway
Union. This strike was authorized by
about 200 delegates attending the
American Railway Union convention
who did not represent One-thirtieth of
the employees in service in the United
States, but every man, woman and child
employed in any capacity on a railway
is expected to bow to this imperious
command, regardless of any right of
their own, obligations to other Organi-
cations, or contracts with their en-
ployers. am not responsible for the
present rules of policy Of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen. They were
conceived and adopted by tie men
themselves, and have oft been ratified
and reaffirmed by them, and l propose
to execute those laws according to their
direction. Members 60 on strike and
then wire asking me to sanction their
action, when they know absolutely
have no such power. If they go out it
will haye to be with the American
Railway Union, for they cannot 60 out
as members of the brotherhood Of
Railroad Trainmen unless they have
some grievance of their own or of ar
organization which is a part of 6
federation on the system where they
are at work. This position is not new
one. 1t has always been maintained
notably during the Knights of Labor
trouble on the New York Central, wher
Debs and Howard were then repre-
senting similar organizations and tool
the same stand | now take. They
| could do nothing else then. | can do nc
| different now Members OF the brother
hood who have sought advice from me
in this matter have been invariably tOlC
that they would be expected to perform
| their regular duties and no other. This
| brotherhood will protect as far as it il
able any employe who is discharged fol
refusing to take a strikers place.
Grand Master Wilkinson sent {
message to the men all along the line
that all members of the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen who refused to &C
out with their trains would be promptly
expelled from the order. The mer
were loud in their denunciation of theil
Grand Master, and declared his order
would not be obeyed.

SUMTER SCHOOL.

| Speak not of the roses nor talk of their stems

Many bright hope by this Foundation is stayed,

Returning to us the price that we paid.
S-chool-its true mission is brighter than gold,
Come say it again, though its oft been told;
How can we the best this treasure unfold?
Only by working as the sages of old.
oh! summer is here and school at hand,
Look, think, act, and join the school band.
Much of the truth of the above lines
came to us forcibly this week as we met
the many practical young school teach
ers and intending "willow wielders"
returning from the Centralia High
School on Monday. 1t was the opening
day of the summer school 10 be directed
by Profs. Paulus and Hamlin and began
auspiciously with rs students listed
These scholars represent some of the
brightest minds of their respective
localities and their earnest faces bore
evidence that they their treasures gain
''by working as the sages of DID," The
value of the summer school to our rising
young teachers need not be commented
upon here. 1t is understood by them
and self-evident in their work.
The ability of Prof. Paulus as a
thorough instructor has fully been
demonstrated in our cities both in the
summer schools of former years and as
principal of the Centralia High School.
His merits are known and appreciated.
Of Prof. Hamlin we know little, but he
comes with the highest credentials and
is man of no mean title in educational
circles.
With the combined efforts of these
two gentlemen there can be no question
as to the advantages to be
derived by those who join the
school band" We bespeak for them a
successful school session and a largely
increased attendance before our next
issue. Those in attendance up to date
are as follows:

University Botanizers.

Mr.. L. S. Cheney, instructor in Botany
at the State University, and F, D.
Heald, class Of '94, both of Madison,
reached this city by boat Friday night
on botanizing tour. They have been
outing for three weeks having taken
this time from Wausau to our city.
They are gathering specimens for the
University herbarium and have secured
700 numbers so far with no duplicates.
Mr.. Cheney was called home from this
city and Mr.. Heald remained in camp
on the island below Lyons until Thurs
day morning when he was joined by
Mr.. Semple, of Poynette, Wis. They
will probably continue to the Missis-
sippi. Mr.. Cheney started last year at
the headwaters of the Wisconsin and
got as far as the "Heights" just above
Wausau where they started in this
year. He proposes to have a collection
of moses, lichens and liyer-worts from
the entire length of the old "Wisconse. :"
Several Of our University boys called
on Mr.. Heald while in camp as he was
an acquaintance.

MOnona Lake Assembly.

A glance at the program of the
fifteenth annual Assembly shows
features that make it, if possible, even
better than those of former years
Surely the many people who are looking
for pleasant way of taking their mid
summer outing will find much to attract
them on the shore of beautiful Monona.
Those who wish to study will find ample
opportunity in the various schools
while others will find instruction and
amusement in the many lectures and
entertainments. We can mention only
part of the attractions. Prof. H. H.
Boyesen, of Columbia College, will give
a series of five lectures on the Modern
Novel. Booker I. Washington, the
leader of the movement to furnish an
industrial education to the blacks in the
South, will give an address. Gen. John
B. Gordon, U. S. Senator for Georgia,
will give his famous lecture on the ''Last
days of the Confederacy." John
Temple Graves and Rev. Samuel P.
Jones and others will also speak. The
evenings will be devoted to entertain
ments by Gentlemen and Lady
Quartettes, Soloists, Readers, I'm
personators, Sleight of Hand perform
ances, etc.
Madam Sissieretta Jones, the "Black
Patti,'' said to be the finest Soprano in
the country, is engaged for four days.
Mackenzie Gordon, whose wonderful
tenor voice reused so much enthusiasm
at the last Assembly, will sing through
out the entire season. Glasses in
Elocution and Delsarte will be organized
under the direction of competent
instructors. DR.. Worden, the normal
conductor, will give a series of Biblical
lectures, and Mrs. Crafts will introduce
the "Boys' Brigade" one or more
companies of which Will camp on the
ground. These, with other important
features which space forbids us to
mention, make the program more
attractive than ever before. All
interested should send to James E.
Moseley, Madison, for copy of the
| Quarterly.

THE STRIKE.

The situation of affairs at this time OF
writing, Wednesday. is about as follows
After week or ten days of rioting,
burning of cars, destruction of bridges
and railway tracks and the loss of life in
connection, the military forces of Illi-
nois, supplemented by federal troops
and heavy police force have brought
order out of chaos in Chicago, and rail-
way trains are again running regularly
The same may be said of the railway
blockade at other points in Illinois,
Indiana and Michigan. Railway traffic
on all the Pacific roads has been re-
sumed. In this state there has been no
particular disturbance outside of Mil
waukee. Passenger and freight trains
have moved on schedule time, right
along through the disturbance else
where, on the three roads passing
through Grand Rapids and Centralia.
The leaders in the railway strike, Debs,
Howard, keleher and Rogers have
been indicted by the Federal grand
jury IN Chicago on the charge of con-
spiracy to obstruct the mails and by
threats, intimidation or violence pre-
venting employees of railways from
working, or others willing to work from
taking their places. They have each
been placed under bonds of $4,000
awaiting their trial. The probabilities
are that many more will soon be under
arrest.
Meanwhile, seeing that their cause
was lost when the I. S. government
took control of railway transportation
under the Interstate Commerce Act
the American Railway Union leaders
have enlisted the cooperation of the
Knights of Labor and an universal strike
in all branches of industry is now
threatened.
