pieces, Queen Victoria and the Prin-

society leader highly priced, went for
one dollar. Oh, how have the mighty

Theodore Roosevelt is not so open
to the charge of undertaking to en-
force an impracticsble Sunday excise
law in the city of New York as to
many may appear. 1t appears that he
is not the first official to put the law
into execution. He says that the
month before he came into office 500
arrests were made for its violation.
His chief change has been to under
take to enforce it impartially.
1t was before made to operate
against some saloon keepers. and
not against others. ''rhe only
difference in my method OF enforcing
it," he says, 'has been that | have
enforced it against every man, whether
he had pull or whether he hadn't" "
81 am an executive, not legislative
officer" he continues. "What my
views may be as to the ethical effects
of a given law can't alter my duty in
enforcing it" There may be dis
cretion as to enforcing an impractics-
BILE law, but Mr.. Roosevelt is clearly
right that it should be enforced i'm
partially, if it is enforced at all.

WITH the departure of the War
rimoo, William r. Castle Gets out
on his important mission in the
diplomatic circles of the United
States. The task which the Gov
eminent has delegated to Minister
Castle is by no means an easy one
and is fraught with numerous,
possible pitfalls with which few if
any of the former foreign representa-
tiyes of this country have ever had
to contend. There is every reason
to believe however that every
measure Of success will attend his
official career in the United States.
Minister Castle holds the conf
dence of the people of this country
who feel that under his admins
tration our diplomatic relations
with the country to which he is
accredited will continue to run in
friendly grooves.

THE experiment of an exclusively
feminine jury is to be tried in a
breach-of-promise suit that is to
come up in a Kentucky court. The
judge, who has summoned the
women, is confident that the trial
will be fair one, and believe its will
aid in settling toe vexed point,
whether a woman can receive the
same degree of justice from her
own sex as from men. The result
will be awaited with no little in
terest, and, if fairly successful, will
be hailed with satisfaction by the
men, who can look forward to
being relieved of a good amount of
uninteresting jury duty in the
future.

vidual and much harder for the
police to handle than the regula-
ton street loafer.
As is suggested in another col
umn, these so-called "hoodlums"
can be handled better by the en-
forcement of a general order, keep
ing them off the street after a GER
tain hour in the evening, than by
attempting to run down each indi-
vidual case. The city cannot
afford to allow the might owl"
youth TO run rampant until the
nuisance becomes general. By far
the best plan is to nip the thing in
the bud. Keep the boys at home
where their conversations and
youthful enthusiasm will be kept
from the public ear.

KEEP BOYS OFF THE STREETS.

What to do with the "hoodlums''
is question that is agitating the
public mind to quite an extent in
some sections of the city and if the
picture is as bad as it is painted
the complaints are worthy of con-
siderable attention. If soma of the
remarks made by various "citi-
zens" are to be taken as a criterion,
the city needs to be taken in hand
and good dose of strict disci-
pline administered the youthful
elements. We are inclined to be-
lieve that the condition is exagger-
ated, but is on the way to become
decidedly disagreeable if not at
tended to at the proper time.
It is fact that the city has
population of boys and young men
whose parents do not take particu-
lar care to keep them off the
streets at night. They go about
looking for amusement, which
gradually degenerates to a nuis-
ance. Part of the spice to this
amusement consists in making
themselves heard and scurrying
away to avoid the police, on the
same principle that the small boy
steals apples-not because he cares
for the apples or is an inveterate
thief, but just for the fun of dodg-
ing the watchful farmer. Increased
vigilance Of the police will remedy
the trouble to certain extent, but
the small boy is slippery and in

A BILL PREPARED.

To Restrict the Jurisdiction of United
States Courts in Proceedings OF Con-
tempt.
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. S,-The Ameri-
can Federation of Labor yesterday
made public the text of the bill to re-
strict the jurisdiction of courts of the
United States in proceedings of con-
tempt which it will present to congress.
The bill is the outgrowth of what or
ganized labor calls "the persecution" of
Eugene V. Debs and the other labor
leaders who were engaged in the great
railroad strike last year. The bill, it
is announced was prepared by one of
the ablest attorneys in the United
States, but his name will not be made
public. The bill is brief and is as fol-
lows:
"Be it enacted by the senate and
house Of representatives Of the United
States of America in congress assem-
bled: That the courts OF the United
States, sitting as courts OF equity shall
not have jurisdiction to punish for con-
tempt any person charged with the
violation of any order or decree OF
courts whose acts in the premises con-
stitute, arise out of, or are connected
with the commission of any offenses in
dictable under the lawof the United

While ON His Wedding Tour NaturaliEed
American Citizen is Forced Into the Hun
garian Army.
New YORK, Dec. 3.-Elmer Keller,
a naturalized American citizen living
in this city, is about to bring to the
attention of the state department an
outrage he was subjected to by the
Hungarian government. He demands
100000 indemnity. He is well known
in the Hungarian colony and deep
interest is taken in his case. Keller
vas married September Q, 1894, and
rent on his wedding trip to Hungary,
his native land, which he left seven
years ago. At Budapest on March 16,
of this year, he received summons
from the associate county judge to ap-
pear before the military commission
ers for his examination regarding his
fitness for the army. Being an Ameri-
can citizen he ignored the order Re-
ceiving second summons he went be-
fore Judge Jelinck and showed his nat
uralization papers. The judge said:
''If you are an American citizen why
didn't you stay there?"
Despite his protests he was forced
into the army and assigned to the reg
ular infantry. He is not robust and
the trials of q soldiers life told severe
ly on him.
1t was six months after Keller was
deprived of his freedom before he was
discharged. He determined to lose no
time getting out of his native land, to
which he had taken strong dislike.
The American minister, however, it is
claimed, delayed returning his naturali-
zation papers, which put him to further
delay. Failing in health and ruined
financially, he was in sorry plight.
He borrowed money to come back to
the United States, but his wife still re.
mains behind. He says that any of his
countrymen who have made the United
States their adopted home are liable tc
be similarly treated.

Sole Object of the Chinese Vegetarian
A Lady MIssionary's Story of the Re-
cent Massacre.
. DOVER, N. H., Nov. 3O.-Miss Mabel
C. Hartford, one of the two adult sur
.vivors of the Hwasang massacre of
August /, near Ku Cheng, China, has
arrived in this, her native city. Miss
Hartford says that when she goes back
she will engage in pioneer work.
Miss Hartford was asked what had
been the attitude Of the Chinese peo-
pie toward the missionaries in the re-
gion where the massacre occurred, and
she replied; ''The friendliest possible.
"Thcre was no riot or uprising of the
masses against US, as many people in
this country suppose. Members of the
secret society of vegetarians were the
sole perpetrators OF the atrocities. The
feeling against them is bitter, for they
are sworn not only to kill all foreign
crs, but to kill the magistrates and
overturn the Chinese government.
They are confined principally, how
ever, to the province of Ku Cheng
there were not more than eighty mer
who made the attack and their object
was to kill us, not because we were
missionaries, or Christians, but because
we were foreigners.
She says the vegetarians are ex'
tremely superstitious and after the
massacre remarked that the foreign
women were very quiet while being
attacked. If they had screamed, SAID
they. "we could not have killed them.

A BOGUS BILL.

Not long ago $50 note was sent to
the United States treasury for redemp-
ton. Accompanying it was an affidavit
saying that the owner put it in cigar
box, where mice had got at it and nib
bled it. The note was a counterfeit.
Not only that, but it had been through
the treasury here at some previous
time, and had been stamped with the
word "bad" i'll letters cut out of the
paper. But the alleged mice had all.
most obilterated the letters by nibbling
around them. 1t was queer way for
mice to behave, to say the least of it.
A detective of the service was sent to
look the matter up. He investigated
the case fully, and reported that it was
all right in short, that the note had
been submitted for redemption in good
faith.
The owner, it appears, was an old
German sailor of respectable character.
Nevertheless. he would 90 on an occa-
sional spree. Waking up one morning
after night of dissipation he found all
his money gone except this note of $40.
Somebody had doubtless passed it off
on him. He noticed nothing wrong
about it, and had put it into the cigar
box, in which he kept not only his
ready money but also bird seed for his
pet canary. Mice, attracted by the bird
seed, visited the box and incidentally
chewed up the note. On finding it
partly destroyed the sailor forwarded it
to the treasury at Washington. The
case is interesting chiefly as an illustra.
ton of the way in which appearances of
fraud may sometimes mislead.
