Youthful Offender.

There was a sad spectacle witnessed in
the first precinct station last evening when
Policeman Dodge entered with a sixteen
year-old prisoner who was very much I'M
der the influence of liquor. His name was
given as Edward Hopkins and the charge
against him was disturbing the Salvation
Army meeting. The disturbance of the
meeting was considered of minor import
ance as compared with the sale of the
whisky to the boy, and the officers were
willing to release him if they could ascer-
tain the names of the saloon keepers who
had furnished him with the liquor.
But the boy stoutly refused to divulge
the names, and later he said the whisky
was given to him, but by whom he would
not tell This morning when the case was
heard in Judge Kimballs court the police
man said he wanted the boy lectured.
Because of the boys age he asked that
the court impose light fine But Judge
Kimball said that he would impose no light
fine in a case where religious meetings are
disturbed.
Are you willing to tell where you got
the liquor?" the court asked.
Il don't know he answered.
A fine of so was imposed, and his mother
paid it.

The Newly Appointed Civil Service
Commissioners.
THEIR ARRIVAL HERE AWAITED
Nothing Heard From Them at the
Commissioners Office.
BRIEF SKETCHES OF THEM

1t was not known at the Office of the
civil service commission today when Com
missioners Harlow and Rice would assume
their new official duties. President Proc
ter said he expected they would be here
some time this week. The clerks and other
employees were curious to know the kind
of men their next chiefs would be, and
visitors of the newspaper fraternity were
volleyed with questions regarding them.
There was a very deep feeling of satisfac-
ton apparent over the understanding that
both new commissioners were eager and
ardent champions of civil service reform,
and that there would be continuance of
the policy which has governed the work
ings Of the commission for the past two
years.
Both men have interesting personalities
and are we'll known and prominent in their

ELEVEN VESSELS WRECKED
Storm Yesterday and Last Night on Lake
Michigan.
Most Disastrous Since the Terrible
Gale a Year AgO-NInny Boats
Are Missing.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 1.-THE storm which
swept Lake Michigan yesterday and last
night was the most disastrous since the
gale Of last May, in which so many lives
Were lost.
The list of missing vessels up to noon
today was a long one, and eleven craft
were reported wrecked. The list of known
wrecks at that hour was as follows:
Quickstep, wrecked off Racine.
]. b. Kitchen, wrecked at Middle Island.
Viking, driven aground with three con-
scrts at Sand Beach.
Unknown steam barge, ashore six miles
north of Sand Beach.
Steamer Unique, wrecked at ST. Clair
Three schooners, wrecked off East Tawas.
Mich.
Schooner Reindeer, reported stranded at
Black river.
Unknown schooner wreck off Racine.
Three-masted schooner, wrecked near Mil
waukee
It was rumored this forenoon that the
City of Holland and the Mabel Bradshaw,
passenger and freight boats plying between
Chicago and Holland Mich, were missing.
but it developed later that both had been
unable to leave the Holland harbor and
were safe.
Marine men here anxiously awaited aews
from missing boats and grave fears were
expressed for the safety of all ships over
due.

Excursion to Chanel Point.

An excursion will be given to Chapel
Point Thursday next by the board of direc-
tors and lady managers of the Eastern Dis
pensary, the proceeds of which will be used
to defray the urgent needs of this institu-
ton. The dfspensary is in need of funds
to pay daily expenses. and the management
has decided to try to raise money in this
way to relieve some of the embarrassment
which now hangs over it. The Samuel ].
Pentz will leave 18th street wharf at 0 am,
returning at pm, the tickets being 30
cents. "A beautiful sail of fifty-five miles
is thus afforded those Who take advantage
OF the trip. and the hours on the boat and
at the grour DIS will be taken up by amuse-
ments and dancing.

ROBERTS WAS RELEASED.
Charge of Assault With Intent to Kill
AcrinSt Him.

Against Him.
The Police Court officials are anxious
concerning the release from Jail yesterday
of Henry Roberts, against whom there was
a charge of attempted murder pending.
Roberts was released under the poor con-
victS act on a charge Of concealed weap-
ons, and the mistake in releasing him was
probably the result of the manner in which
he was committed. Roberts is only sixteen
year: old. and several weeks ago, as pub
lished at the time, he rode down 18th street
on bicycle. and fired several pistol shots.
che of which took ERECT in the leg of a
little girl named Lillian Spooner.
While in jail on the charge of assault and
battery with intent to kip he was brought
up to the Police Court and given a trial fer
tie theft of the revolver. This resulted in
the imposition of fire of $50 or ninety
days in jail. and yesterday he appeared be-
fore United States Commissioner Samuel c.
Mills and was discharged. This was done
under the terms of the poor convicts' act.
The boy, it is stated did not even have
counsel, but signed his own paper, reciting
that he was detained in default of payment
of the fine, and upon his application was
discharged.
1t is said that the United States COM
missioner did. not notify the district attor-
neJ of the case, and therefore the govern
ment was not represented n the proceed
ings yesterday. Had such notification
been given the boy w9uld not have been
turned loose.
The boys release while 50 serious a
charge is pending against him, it is said, is
the result of the manner in which the com
mitment was made out by the clerk of the
Police Court, and the affair will probably
cause change in the manner of attending
to this particular kind of business.
1t is thought that the boy Will be in
dicted this week, and then the officers will
make an effort to recapture him.

should the reaction be successfully
averted as those previously predicted, there
would be no hesitancy on the part of these
traders TO begin buying at a higher level.
Unless London's purchases increase in vol
ume, however, the movement cannot much

noon selling movement forced the price
back around opening figures.
The announcement that the frontage bill
had been vetoed was scarcely reflected in
the movements of Chicago Gas, the pool
in the property being fully prepared for
such an announcement.
Distillers sold up 1 per cent from the
opening but reacted later in the day on
realizing sales.
The trading of the last hour was moder-
ateiy active and generally around the low
est prices of the day. Stop orders wers
detected in several of the recently active
issues, and the sudden declines during this
period were attributed to sales of this
character. Foreign houses being almost
entirely out of the market during final
dealings, traders met with little opposition
in depressing values Indications at the
close of business favored continuation CT
the movement.

Damages to Crops Caused by the Cold
Wave.
The weather bureau in its regular weekly
report of weather crop conditions issued to-
day. will say:
The great feature of the week was the
remarkably cool wave, which overspread
nearly the whole of the country east of the
Rocky mountains on the nth and 18th, at
tended by freezing weather in the northern
states and frost as far south as the Ohio
valley and western portion of South Caro-
lima. This period of cold has proved very
unfayorable to growing crops, and much
injury has resulted from frosts throughout
the northern portions of the country.
The lire of freezing temperature extends
from western Montana southeastward TIC
western Nebraska, thence northward to
southern North Dakota. and thence east
ward through the southern portions OF
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, north
eastern Ohio. and northwestern Pennsyl-
Vania to western New York. the lowest
Temperatures within the UNited States be-
ing about ~ degrees below freezing over

ices and are based upon more than 1880

If a paper receives credit for

exists for withholding from
the advertiser the actual cir

ton that it is proud of and
each Saturday prints a detailed
