CRIPPLES IN COURT.

Four Legless Mon and Two Co mpani ons
Convicted of Disturbing the Pssos.
The four legless men and their two
companions, one with an arm gone and
the other with a twisted arm and
broken leg. were taken into the police
court yesterday and tried for disturbing
the peace in the Buena Vista house.
Officer Vignes and Fifeld testified that
ths cripples had made themselves
drunk ON wine and proceeded to smash
things generally, besides using the most
profane language. Whom the policemen
went up to the room, the cripples fought
them with crutches and clubfoot shoes
Ii took much hard work for the officers
to bodily carry the unfortunate men
down stairs and load them into the
patrol wagon. They presented pitia-
BILE spectacle in court and Judge Morri-
son was inclined to be lenient. He
released all OF the poor fellows to ap.
pear tomorrow for sentence. This will
give them an opportunity to get out OF
the city The names of the cripples are
George Shaftner, Ed Hammond, colored
John O'Brien, Ed Shennick, Thomas
Ward and Joe Mead.

GUIDING THE CAKES.

other day, the man who goes to see the
work done, unless he is obliged to, must
have something the matter with him
that can best be treated at an insane
asylum, for the air is never balmy about
au ice pond. Generally speaking, the
first process is to clear the pond of snow,
for it is rare indeed that leo is thick
enough to cut before several inches of
snow have fallen. The clearing is done
with scrapers drawn by horses. Usually
a scraper will clear eight feet of surface
and requires two horses for the hauling
and two or three men for the tending.
After the scraping comes the mark
ing. If there Is snow ice, the marker
must be preceded by planer to remove
the spongy surface. Tho marker is then
drawn by horse along a straight limo
between two given points, making Il
groove two or three inches deep. Other
grooves parallel with the first are made
at intervals of % inches till the field
to be cut has all been gone over, after
which cross grooves are made. marking
the whole surface into squares like a big
chessboard. The grooves are then deep
ened by an ice pillow, the cakes are saw
ed apart by hand, and then the ice is
ready to be housed. From the house
there is an inclined power elevator, and
the ice cakes are foated to it as fast as
they are loosened, a canal being first
opened through ice nearest, SO that the
cakes fartbest away may be earliest
housed. Inside the house there are slides,
down which the crystal masses are guild

tween sawdust, or, in some cases. mead

doubtful, however, if the amount of in
VESTED capital Is rs large in proportion
to storage, because the vast markets of
New York arti its neighborhood are so
accessible via the peerless river from
which the ice Is cut. The consumption
Of ice by the millions who dwell with
in 20 miles Of the New York CITY hall
is probably greater in proportion than
that Of any other similar population in
the world, but in spite Of this the most
extensive single plant Is said to be at
Sheffield, near Chicago, and the inhab-
itants OF that great city and the imme-
date vicinity consume probably almost
as much per capita as those Of the region
at the Hudson's mouth.
Sheffield is Just over the Indiana line,
and its ice supply is cut from a sheet
Of water known as VOLTS lake. Shelf
field has been very busy this winter,
and the ice has been much thicker than
usual Icemen like best to cut when tho
cakes are from 10 TO Is inches thick, as
then cake weighs about 200 pounds.
Every additional inch of thickness
means about ID pounds additional
weight, and consumers dislike to pay
for more than 200 pounds in one cake.
Besides the heavier cakes are naturally
much harder to handle. It takes $50
men to work the plant ut Sheffield, and
about ESQ persons are required to cook
and care for the workmen, so that in
the season the population of the village
is not far from 1000. In the summer
time it Is less than 100, for cutting,
storing and selling ice is the sole indus
try of the place.
In many respects Sheffield is unique.
It's buildings are, first, number of
great wood colored icehouses; second,
three big boarding houses, occupied only
when ice is being cut, and, third, l D or

that portion which does not This is
a species of Misrepresentation rare
ly resorted to except in the heat Of
political campaign. The Times pre-
tends to believe that Mr.. Ankeny
advises the outright and uncondi-
tional repeal of the tax on circula-
ton. It says that its information is
based on the following excerpt from
his letter: This done, there should
be provided additional currency to
take the place of the retired green
back. How shall this be done? I
answer, by removing the tax on cir
culation." AT that point the Times
view of fairness prompts it to stop.
Any one who desired to ascertain
or to represent correctly the writer's
view would have added the sentence
which follows Immediately: ALLOW
any one who has obtained a charter
under state banking laws to deposit
with the government his bonds and
in return receive the face value in
currency issued by the government. -
A little later he adds: ''This, of
course, would require a complete re-
construction of the national banking
system and the substitution of bet
ter one, and one not nearly so OBJ
noXious to the people, This defines,
to any one who reads carefully and
judges honestly, the meaning of the
writer. 1t is impossible to under
stand it as advocating an uncondi-
tional repeal Of the tax on circula-
ton. For what possible relevance
would there be in proposing that
banks might deposit bonds and take

higher wage rate of England has at
tracted the people of the continent.
This has caused displacement that
countries, made easier of movement
by the relatively higher wage rate
there. So this country has drawn
heavily on Canada.
Taking into account the rela-
tive population of the countries
whence our immigration was
drawn in the fiood-tide year of
1892, and the other conditions affect
ing migration, the movement was
greatest from the low-wage coun-
tries of Italy, Germany and Austria,
their immigrants forming AZ per cent
of the total. The movement from
Ireland, proportionately larger than
from any other country, being per
cent of the whole, and numbering
SIS, 467 out of population of 100000,
was largely due to causes other than
the wage rate. The tide running to
this country is slackening, the num-
