$1,16S,S $50 less than in 1892, or PIT per
cent. Here is an aggregate loss of
$2,91S,14 to labor in factories which en-
ployed 153,S65 people in 1892. Extend
this ratio of loss to all the wage earnerS
in the manufacture. transportation and
distribution of merchandise and one can
form idea of the enormous loss which
the free-trade fad has imposed on wage
earners. The Dun figures. it should be
added, refer only to establishments
which were in operation the three years,
and give no inkling of the loss to labor
by the closing of factories in 1898 which
have not since resumed. But it is en-
couraging to know that the Dun statis-
tics indicate better things.

IN A TRANCE ELEVEN YEARS.
Curious Phases of the Life of "a French
Girl.
London Telegraph.

There is a girl named Marguerite Bou-
yenval at Thenelles. in the north of France,
near Saint Quentin. who is reported to have
been asleep for the past eleven years. A
good deal OF doubt has been thrown on this
phenomenal Slumbering case, not only in
Paris, but also in Thene.les and it's vicinity,
where there are two camps. one of the be-
levers and the other of those who MAIN
tain that the so-caled sleeping beauty rises
at night and has a good supper.
The matter has been investigated by a
Parisian, who has seen the girl and found
her as lean as a skeleton and as stiff as a
corpse but still living. Her mother injects
milk peptone and sometimes wine through
a broken tooth in the girls mouth Mar
guerte Bouyental made away with baby
eleven years aga, and the gendarmes were
sent to her house. The girl was so fright
ened at their approach that she had an at
tack of hyster.a. which lasted several hours
and at the end of which she fell into a
trance.
The doubts thrown on the continuation
OF the trance have evidently been caused by
the fact that the mother of the sleeping girl

INTERCOLLEGIATE FOOTBALL.
The Example Set by Indiana College
Presidents Should Be Followed.


The presidents of Indiana colleges, at their
conference in Indianapolis yesterday, de-
cided to prohibit intercollegiate football con-
tests between the students of the institutions
over which they preside Their action will
no doubt cause a great cutlery, and they
will be called physical wrecks and enc
mics of their race and country but really
they must be regarded the true friends of
football All they .egislate against is the
abuses of the game. which its hottest advo-
Gates admit must somehow be checked or
else the whole thing abolished. Indiana stu
dents can play the manly game much as
they choose their own grounds They can
personally collide day after day with a vio-
lence and vigor which will assure even Pro-
fessor Richards that they will make good
citizens and be the safety of the Nation N
the next great war. All they are to be pro-
hibited from doing is to furnish a public
spectacle of brutality. for glory and gate
money. They can take each other off into
private corners of the college campus and
.'knee' and slug each other to their
hearts content, but they can no longer
plunge the athletic alumnus and their Sis
ters and sweetheartS into frenzy of de-
light by doing il before a yelling audience
at $3.50 per seat. 1t is perhaps too much to
hope that our cultured college presidents in
tho East should follow the example of these
Hoos:er schoolua sters but the least they
can do with deeency is to confine intercol-
legiate football hereafter to college grounds
Such a step would itself do away with many
of the gravest evils connected with the
game, though we believe the entire Hoosier
programme will yet have to be adopted

The people who have been expressing
a wish for the production of something
distinctively American in the way of
musical composition may have their de-
sires gratified when Walter Damrosch
completes his new opera. 1.-THE Scarlet
Letter." The libretto is an adaptation
of Hawthorne's novel and is certainly
sufficiently representative of a potent
element of American history and Amer
lean character to suit the most exact
ing. No other phase of the Nations de-
velopment shows greater opportunities
for epic writing, and it is upon the epics
of a people that some of the greatest
musical compositions have been based.
Hawthorne's story does not afford OPP
portunities for the tremendous clash of
the powers of earth and air that Wag-
ner found in the Nibelungen Lied, but
there is enough of the pathetic, the
tragic and the intensely human to
make a theme for beautiful ana a
great opera. Whether or not Damrosch
will rise 70 the occasion remains to be
seen. The music of the first and second
acts Will be produced at the symphony
concert in New York this week. and

pressed in music circles.

The weather and it's variations afford an
inexhaustibe theme for New York and Bos-
ton space writer's. Even press reporters
who are supposed to confine themselves to
the barest statement of facts not free
from the tendency to enlarge upon the
meteorological phenomena of their region,
but Indulge in a vast deal of fine writing
on the subject, to the great WEAKNESS of
Western readers who know what blizzards
and extremes of temperature are really like.
1t is therefore unwise to accept without
question all the reports of the recent storm
in the East. According to some of them
there never was such terrible cold such
a severe wind, and of course every sensi-
BILE person knows this is an exaggeration.
STILL when the staid Boston Transcript tells
of a woman on Summer street being lifted
from her feet by the wind and cast into
a snow drift it will have to be admitted
that the down-easters have had something
of a bow. Nevertheless they ought not to
get so excited over it. To talk so much
about the weather is bad form, and. besides,
shows a lack of versatility.

The recognition of the merits of the In
dianapolis group Of artists by Chicago crit
les is highly gratifying to their friends in
this city, but it is not cause for surprise.
Here their talents and ability have long
been known and appreciated by discrim-
mating picture-lovers, and it would have
been cause for wonder if the same class of
persons elsewhere did not at once detect
the good qualities of their work The fact
that this outside recognition has not come
earlier is due largely to the modest and re-
firing nature of the artists themselves Not
one of them has made use of the various
indirect though not necessarily illegitimate
methods of advertising themselves and their
productions practiced by many, if not most
of the best-known artists of the day, but
have depended wholly upon the character of
their work to speak for itself II the pat
ronage extended to them in their home cir
Gle has not been what they deserved, it
has at least been such as to retain them
here and to make them the Indianapolis

pie, and it's art lovers are not all able to be
art patrons, but so far as they could they
have given their encouragement to the little
group and are now ready to rejoice at the
reception given it by others. Their wish is
that this first outside triumph may be fol-
lowed by series of similar successes.
