SOME THOUGHTS OF DEBS.

Fellows OF the Debs tvpe are sporting for
strike all the time.-New York Sun, Dem.
Mr. Debs may imagine that the people
can be easily deceived, but he is mistaken.
They are abundantly able to distinguish
between profession and praetice.-Sdn
Francisco Chronicle.
The man Debs had a great opportunity
for good. He has used 1t for evil. His
course has been one of insensate folly and
reckless wickedness. Its result, whatever
it may be- must be lastingly hurtful to or
ganized labor, to all labor and to the entire
pubiic.-Aew York World. DEM
Mr.. Debs has repeatedly called publicly
upon members of the American Railway
Union to refrain from violence and 10 show
no sympathy for rioters. LII these procla-
nations were sincere why does Mr.. Debs
come out now with an objection TO the
subiugation of the Chicago rioters by the
only force adequate to perform this objectf
Spokane Spokesman RerieW, Rep.
And now. the question We were about to
ask. if We may venture to do so without
giving offence, is, What does Debs propose
10 do with the government of the u lited
Stetes2 Some OF US are quite fond of il,
and would like, If IL be entirely consistent
with Debs' plans, to have at least the
frame of it saved. But. of course, we
shall all bow 10 the decision of Debs.

The origin Of the Hawaiian flag -

the archives of the Foreign Office OF
Great Britain contain memoranda OF

the invention, but all that we know
of its history is very neagre.
In the Saturday Magazine, 1888,
printed in London, appears the fellow

only education he received he earned and
paid for himself. He was at one time q
butchers boy. He is o the foremost
doctor in all Russia, his fortune is esti-
mated at SIS, 900, GOO, and for weeks his
word has been law in the czar's palace.
He sets all court etiquette at naughts and
is as brusque in speech to his superiors as
to the commonest peasant.
DIR. Zacharin is now about 65 years of
age, and the stories illustrating his I'M
conventionality and eccentricity would fill
a small volume and make entertaining
reading. For 80 years he was a professor
in the University of Moscow, ansShe prides
himself particularly upon his Success in
diagnosis. He once told a patient that he
might live a year. Eleven months later
the patient came into his office and ridi-
culed the DOCTORS prediction. There is a
month yet" Zaeharin said grin ~ Il
never make a mistake" The following
morning the patient, who had heart dis
ease, was found dead in bed.
When he attends poor people, DR.. Zach
arin charges nothing for his services, but
a rich patient is always compelled to pay
exorbitant fees. His salary at Moscow
university has always been given to fund
for poor students.
Professor Leyden, another of the cars
physicians, is one of Gernany's most dis
tinguished medical men. He is SO years
of age and was first a surgeon in the Ger
man army, He served in the war against
Denmark and then retired to civil life.
He has held several professorships in the
leading German universities and attended
the Emperor Frederick in his last illness.
He is a polished, genial, obliging man of
the world and the exact opposite of DIR.

tation caused the car to ummon him to
attend the royal family during the cpl
demic of Influenza. How he and the &C.
centric Zacharin managed to work har-
m%oniously together is a mystery.

will be but 80 acres, which, though larger
by SO acres than that used in 1883, still
seems small indeed compared with the
grounds at Chicago.
Nevertheless the fair will include the
Champ de Mars, the Invalides, the Palais
de l'Industrie, the T~rocadero, part of the
Seine, which will be covered during the
fair, and even a small part of the Champ
Eiysees. This covers O region almost in
the center of Paris, and yet the work must
be done in a manner to not interfere with
the traffic or even the habits of the
Parisians and the yearly throng of visit
ors. For these reasons it must be begun
early, and the construction of the main
buildings must be under way in 1897.
Paris is still well stocked with dainty re-
mains of the various fairs held since Ma
poleon III started the system, but this
time the commissioners have decided to
follow the Chicago example n have all
the structures of light material and easily
removable.
There will be no department of public
ity and promotion as at Chicago. NJ.
Picard smiled somewhat sarcastically
when one was suggested to him by an
American journalist and declared that
Paris advertised herself. He thinks the
usual overturcs to other governments and
the announcement that this fair is to be &
complete representation of French genius
and progress will be enough.

Il sometimes think as a rule women

ever, there is one woman in Louisville
who defes public opinion when she
knows she is right. She is a member of
the Flower Mission, n while she de-
votes a great deal of her time to caring
for suffering humanity, she never fails
to try to relieve suffering brutes when
ever she can. A short while ago her at
tention was attracted to a COW that was
being led along the street near the neigh

owner was prodding her with a sharp

The burglar who effected an entrance
to the home of Louis Kieffef, at NO.
POO Baldwin avenue, Monday night, and
shot Hiram Nightingale in the neck, is
under arrest in New York. He describes
himself as Valentine Schultz. He was
captured last night by George Kern, OF
No. 1876 Ninth avenue. New YORK.
Schulz, with two companions, effected
an entrance into Kern's house, and were
at work trying ito force open a trunk
when Kern surprised them. 1t was the
third time his house lac been entered,
and he was prepared for ~intruders. He
covered Schulz with a revolver. Schulz
made an effort to escape. and Kern sud-
denly remembered that he had neglected
to load his pistol. He grappied with
Schulz, pounded him with the butt of
the revoIver into submission, and then
led him to a station house. He answered
the description of the man who had en-
tered Keiffer's house on the Hill in this
city that Chief Murphy sent Detective
Douglas to New York to look at him.
The prisoner was undressed, and a fresh
bullet wound in his left arm was dis
covered. He declared that he was shot

been the man shot by Mr.. M~artingale.

A REVOLUTIONARY RELIC

p~ecuIarftfes and History.

The residence of the venerable Matthias
Soverel, on ~Springdale avenue, East Or

in the county that antedate the ReVolu-
ton. Although the exterior has been
several times remodelled by the addition
of turrets, gables and dormer windows,
SO that the old house bears little or no
resemblance to the modest square dry
goods box with a lean to" in the rear
that was the characteristic type of the
pre-Revolutionary architecture, yet the
interior has suffered but little at the
hands of the modernizer. The old foun-
dation walls still remain, the low cell
inged rooms, barely seven feet six inches
high, are there yet, and the visitor notes
with interest the floor made OF huge
oaken slabs twenty inches wide, and
dressed smooth by the primitive adze,
the surface being guiltless of track OF a

1855 or 1877. The place, which included
the house and twenty-five acres, was

the homestead. The family fed to the
Orange Mountains, carrying with them
all their movable property except a
flock of nineteen geese. The Hessians
killed these and roasted them in front
of the massive old fireplace, all except
the old gander, who was probably too

found tied around the neck of the gan

WoMAN's LIFE IN THE WEST. +.

Visiting one of these ranches one day,
/ found the woman of he house helping
her husband rolling logs. She was rather
abashed at being found engaged in such
an unwomanly occupation, but her en-
barrassment was soon lost in the inter
est and enthusiasm with which she
showed me about the place.
My husband she said, proudly, was
a mechanic in a large city, and as the
years went by we began to realize the
absolute hopelessness of our dreams OF
owning a home. We had become rec
onciled to this; but, you know, with four
growing children We became poorer
each year, and dreaded the future. At
ter he had lost all courage the thought
occurred to my husband that the gov
nme gave him the right to a nun
dred and sixty acres of land. After a
good deal of thought and investigation
he made the venture, and while the
work has been hard, we have never re
GREETED 1t. The country about US has
grown up and become settled to such
an extent that we are able to have six
months of schooling for the children
roads now and it is easy to get produce
to market. We have our own team
so that we can get to town easily, and
do you know, we have just bought 2
town lot, so that after a little while
we can build upon 1t and leave thu
ranch in care of a man during the win
ter while we live in town. Then W.
can give the ehlldren all the a~dVantage
of a good education. We begin to- fec
quite independent now and the thought
that we will be comfortable in our old
age, and can give our children some
help toward a start in life, is very en-
c~ouraging.''
To be sure, this brave woman haG
found the social privation hard to en-
dure, and as she was a Sabbath-lovinf
woman, said she sometimes felt tina
she was living a %heathenish sort of life,
so far away from, the Christian influence

Unimproved Streets a Menace
to Property Values in
the City.

~ V b. -tS-N LN#N. IZ+-
In making improvements payable out
of fthe liquor license account the Street
and Water Commissioners have been
accused of favoring the lower section
of the city. The officials only ask for
time n they promise to distribute such
improvements, as it is possible to make
evenly. and in such manner that there
will be no cause for complaint. 1t is
true to a certain extent that dow town
has beenIfayoreds this year, but it must
be remembered that Ocean avenue alone
is costing $50, 0e0.t
The greatest complaint comes from the
Eighth Assembly district. The claims of
the people residing in that district are
based upon sound facts. From personal
Investigation l know that there are not
more than a dozen streets in the dis
scarcely passable. They have never
been graded or paved, not even with cob

appearance and condition of the streets.
is an assured fact.
No better illustration of the disgrace
full condition of the streets in the To-
calfty in question can be found than
Congress street from Central avenue
north, in muddy weather 1t is scarcely
passable. Deep ruts are noticeable and
IuChHieM orlVe upon tne Sue
walks. The Sidewalks too, in that ter
ritory are a public nuisance and a dis
grace Property owners believing that
the city will never improve the street
or give them any encouragement to i'm
prove their sidewalks have allowed them
to5go to ruin and as a result 1t is dan
gerous to- walk through the street at
night: Flag stones stand in every con-
ceivable4 position. To add to this dis
~couraging condition of affairs the streets
are poorly lighted.
Electric lights are unknown there.
The property owners propose appealing
to Mayor Wanser to see if it is not pos
sible to have a few thousand dollars
spent there to improve public thorough
fares. Congress street in it's present
condition is scarcely a fit place for a
Congressman to ask his constituents to
enter after nightfall. Mr.. McEwan is a
resident of Congress street. Montgomery
street between Van Worst and Warren
streets is being repaved.
