JUSTICE VS.. VENGEANCE.
Plea For tae Pardon of Barney /.
Bloch.

About now there is q chance for some
of orr fellow citizens to practice
christian science, mental science or ole
/ fashioned religion. Since the case OF
Barney |. Bloch has again come under
discussion one is startled by the cold
blooded cruelty of some of their re-
marks.
vengeance is mine, | will repay
saith the Lord, and we have no right
to attempt to Bsete to our fellow NOR
tails anything which can be described
by that word; Ind if we are guided by
the life, precept and example of Christ,
our justice is largely tempered with
mercy.
Even the untutored savage might
think that months of mental and ply
steal suffering, each one Of which has
seemed year, might atone for the
slight share in the crime which caused
this youngest and least culpable mem
Der of the Chicago Bedding Co., to re-
ceive sentence of imprisonment. Dur
ing the trial the opinion of the majority
of those in attendance was that Barney
|. Bloch would receive but light SEN
tence, if any, considering his very evil
dent symptoms Of i'll health. To eX-
perienced, observant eyes, the hollow
ness Of temples and cheeks, the light
and expression of the eyes, the hectic
flush, and above all, the appearance of
the hands, with the bent over, pinched
finger nails, proclaimed the condition
of the lungs and general i'll health OF
Barney Bloch to be just what Chicago
physicians write was his condition long
before, from hereditary tendency as
we'll as a severe attack of illness.
One Of our most respected and ex-
perienced physicians, who is we'll known
for his conservative methods, has given
a strong statement of the present con-
dition of Mr. Bloch; but because he has
not worried it as an Gla1nalst would,
many people do not seem to under
stand how serious is the case and how
needful is haste if this poor boy is to
have that Other chance which most of
us need ii life. z Let him that is
without sin amongst you cast the first
stone"
Even supposing HIM guilty, the crime
was not like other crimes against " life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
of his fellow mortals, and such as it
was, has been expiated by agonies Of
remorse, by all possible suffering of
mind and body.
And now, kind friends, let us join
hands in helping HIM to try to regain
his health and to achieve his ambition
of so living in our midst as to prove
that he is an honest man.
If he proves to be a valuable citizen
we shall be proud to have helped him.
If he can only have the brief comfort
of going home to that waiting, praying
mother, to be cared for until death re-
leases his spirit, we shall still be glad
to have aided him. But if we hold back
our hands and his life goes out in dark
ness and despair, -when it is too late
sorrow will be our portion, and it will
be a never ceasing regret that we
failed to help dying brother.
Blessed are the merciful."

THE POLISHERS STRIKE.
Because One of Their Number is Fired
They All Walk Out.

Because One OF Tne1r NUMBER is E1feu
They All Walk Out.
The polshers at the Sterling Cycle
works are ali out on strike, and there
is a strong probability that, unless the
matter is patched up some time today
or tomorrow, the entire factory will
have to close down. 1t seems the
Sterling company has been in need of
more polishers, andj Saturday it sent
Michael Reardon, a union polisher, to
Chicago to get some new men, charg
ing him to be back at work by Monday
morning. He did not get back until
Monday evening, and was promptly
discharged. The union polishers at
once demanded that he be reinstated.
This was refused, and that entire de-
partment went out Tuesday afternoon.
As a consequence of this action, of
course, the work in this department is
entirely at a stand still, and it will
necessitate the laying off of all the
japanners and the assembly room en-
ployes, to the number Of about 100 by
tomorrow or next day.

 A dance on Fountain Ferry track by electric light will be one of the novel features of entertainment. A largo baud will be stationed on platform in the center of the track. There will be room for several thousand dancers.
 A century run over the original cen tury course, from Louisville to Frank fort and return, will be an entertaining feature for long distance road riders. It was on this course that the first century ever ridden in one day in the United States was made by two Louisville rid CTS, in 1881-Orville Anderson and Will Francke
 There will be numerous short and long runs to places of interest around Louisville. The most important of these will be to Mammoth cave, 115 miles, over good and bad roads This run will start Sunday, Aug. 16, and prepara- tions will be made to take care of 300 riders. Other trips will be through the blue grass country, over the finest bikes in the world. Daniel Boone's tomb, at Frankfort, will be visited, and Ashland, the home of Henry Clay, at Lexington, will be one of the sights. New York World

Lampoons the Rich Until His Indignant
 Parishioners Writhe.
 T. E. Barr, pastor of the First Con- gregational church of Kalamazoo, Mich, the most patrician church in town, is in hot water for making things warm for the rich members of his church For some time his sermons have related to the difficulty which a rich man will have in entering heaven, and he has rubbed it into the wealthy holding up the example of the widows mite rather more than his rich support CTS thought necessary.
 He capped the climax by inviting the trades and labor unions to take charge of the weekday evening meetings, and they did so. The capitalists held up their hands in holy horror and circulat- ed petition demanding his removal.
 Recently Barr gave them the hottest kind of sermon; told how small souled capital is, and threw into their faces the fact that they couldn't throw him out, because Mrs. Leroy Cahill, his most stanch supporter, holds $10, 000 mortgage on the church, which they will not take up. He lampooned the wealthy parishioners for an hour and a half and wound up by rendering his resignation, to take effect Nov. l.
 He says he will not take any vacation this year, but will stay right ill Kala- mazoo and tell them plain truths every Sunday until he leaves the parish. - Pittsburg Dispatch.

Trying to Persuade Romero to Stay.

A movement is on foot in the Ameri can colony ill Mexico to induce Senor Romero, the Mexican minister to Wash ington, to withdraw his resignation, on the ground that he is the best and most acceptable minister Mexico ever had here It is believed that the difficulty, which was caused by an article on the Guatemalan boundary question pub lished by an official journal, will be smoothed over, as the Mexican govern ment is anxious to retain his services.

 Kate Claxton, the actress, took a star part in nlelodrama in part eight of the supreme court of New York the other day. She was examined in supplement tary proceedings in a suit brought by Rose Eytinge for $3, 200 salary, alleged to be due the latter for her services as leading lady in the play entitled Gap tain Swift. ?
 It was very evident from Miss Clax- tons manner that she was a most un- willing participant in the scene, which dragged from early morning to late aft ernoon. She was in turn yexed and amused at the methods taken by the lawyers who were endeavoring to dis cover if she had any money by which the judgment against her could be sat- isfed
 Miss Glaxton-or Mrs. Charles Ste. venson, which is her real name-was bit { terly opposed to being examined in open court. Miss Eytinge's attorneys, George R. Darlington and James Henderson, would not agree to holding q star cham

AS TO BICYCLES.
Probably a Million Have Been Sold This
 Spring and Summer.

Probably a Million Have Been Sold This
 Spring and Summer.
 It is ! source of wonder where all the bicycles come from. A careful examina- tion of the catalogues shows that there are more than 1000 different makes of bicycles on the market. At some of these establishments as many as 100, ,000 wheels are made annually. Practically there are Eo patents on these machines except on unimportant specialties, and so it is an easy matter to put new wheel on tha market. There is not so much difference in wheels as one is in- clined to suppose. Few manufacturers make a whole machine in their own shops, but by far the larger number buy the parts from some maker, and simply put them together, finish them, give them a name and put them OH the mar ket. For this reason a fully equipped bicycle manufactory can be put in run ming order for $5, 900 or $6, GOO.
 Hundreds of wheels of different makes are produced, every piece of which is turned out of the same factory that fur nishes the different parts, and all that tAtV 14tt1i Oo 10 c SOSNe 44etss7 ter mechanic and some ordinary finish CTS and workmen. The bicycle is not an expensive thing to build, and the difference between the cost of the mount and the price it is sold for is so large that the manufacture of wheels has been enormously stimulated. But were it not for the costly salesrooms, extensive ad- yertising and large commissions to agents the price of the wheel would be very materially reduced to the purchaser.
 It is estimated that the present spring and summer at least 1000, 900 wheels have been sold in this country alone, which has involved an outlay of $50,- 900, 900 by the wheelmen of the United States, and still the demand is unabated and bicycles are being marketed by the thousands every day.-Chieago News.

John L. Wheatley of Sardis, Ky, is wearing hat that is curiosity in that line. It was made in 1860 of peacock feathers, and although he has worn it most every summer since then it is al most as good as new and hasn't break in it. It resembles a last summer s straw hat. MT.

 Sarcasm was at discount, and Miss Claxton indulged in few tears just because a newspaper artist managed to sketch her before she discovered what he was about
 Early in the examination Attorney Darlington began to question Miss Clax- ton with a view to ascertaining whether she had bank account. She WAS asked if she had carried @ handbook with her when she visited Mrs. Bennett on June Is. She said that she had, but lost the handbook on that same day.
 The book was of no account, said Miss Claxton and you can find out at the bank if any money has been drawn since the papers in this case were served on me- J
 Regarding her bank account the pros ecuting attorney asked, sHow long did you have the account?''
 T don't remember, answered the famous mimic blind girl.

 Well, I like that replied Miss Claxton, and handkerchiefs were used to subdue laughter throughout the court room.

 When asked what salary she had usu- ally received since 1890, she replied that it had ranged from $50 to $150 per week.

. Tough job for Small Man.

The occupation of boiler Inspector
is one in which a man cannot grow fat
without losing his job, and perhaps is
funny business in that respect Each
boiler inspected is drained of its con-
tents, and then the inspector rigs him
self for dirty job and wriggles him
self into the inside of it through the
manhole. This aperture cannot well
be made large enough to admit large
man, hence the smallest-sized fellows
have the monopoly of the business.
But though that fact may be funny,
the business itself, getting into dirty
and sitting places, and wriggling like
human worm into every hole and cor
ner to know its real condition, is any
thing but fun. The most scrupulous
care is required in these examinations,
and, as everything is out of sight, tho

wholly upon the trustworthiness of
their men. Hence these get pay that
makes amends for all they have to I'M
