ence of an industrious population and
from no other cause. These values
constitute fund out of which all pub.
lie expenses might be paid and they
should be sacredly devoted to that pur
pose. But they are now seized by pri-
Vate parties and tribute is exscted from
industry for the use of values which
industry itself has created.
And besides creating these values
and paying for the privilege of using
them industry is further required to
pay all public expenses out of its direct
product. With such burdens to bear
how can industry be prosperous?
If industry could have the full pro.
duct of its own labor it could then
spend something on itself; it would be-
come a large consumer. And in that
case we would have a "home market
to be proud of, not to speak of grand
foreign trade which we would also
have.
We claim, as a people, to believe in
the doctrine of "equsl rights to all and
special privileges to none." If we
should take this as a standard of meas.
uremeDt and apply it to all our GUS
toms, practices, laws and statutes,
discarding and repeating everything
not up to the standard, without enact
Ing any new law, we would find that
we had freed industry and laid the
foundation of prosperity such as we
never even dreamed of. We would
make it possible for the masses to sup.
ply every reasonable physical want,
we would have given the people the
opportunity for intellectual develop.

proved their environment as to insure
a grander, nobler manhood and Wo-
manhood, higher civilization.
The actual present condition of the
industrial classes is bad enough, but
to one who watches the tendency of
things the possible, nay the probable,
future condition is thing to be feared.
Can q condition Of sbject industrial
slavery be forced upon an intelligent
people accustomed to free speech, q
free press and pulpit and trained in
free schoolsP The American and
Amerlcsnized artisan is patient and
patriotic to degree, but he will have
no patience with that which stands in
the way of his prosperity by invading
his rights when he once realizes Just
how it is. He will first try peaceful,
lawful methods to recover his rights
and he must not then be denied them.
If you wish to rob a hive you use
smoke to bewilder and stupefy the
bees. So the politicians, who are but
the tools Of those who exact tribute
from industry, make false issues to
mislesd and divide the ranks of
the toilers. Some day they will run
out Of smoke, and the bees will be
about their ears, and it will not be so
very funny. do not know whether
a bee understands that by singing he
will kill himself; it is true, neverthe-
less, yet he stingS all the same. When
robbed Of his product he becomes pos
sessed with insane desperation. Death

THERE WERE THREE.
The Burglars of the LittlefieId Resi-
denCe Were Youths.

Four ladies were passing down Tenth
street. near G., on Sunday night at the
time the burglary Of the Littlefeld resi-
dence took place and heard the shots.
Immediately afterward they met three
men who apparently came from the
rear of the residence upon the Tenth
street side. They met the ladies and
passed on both sides of them, and one
of them hesitated a little, and then
said: Il guess somebody is being killed
in there They then shot diagonally
across the street and ran down the alley
between G and III. The ladies are all
agreed that the three were youths
from 16 to 20 years of age.
1t is likely, therefore, that although
Mr.. Littlefield only saw two burglars, the

WAS IT A VIOLATION?
Arrested Canvassers Claim That Ii
Was Not.

c. A. Summerfield was placed on trial
yesterday before Justice Davis, charged
with violating the ordinance against
canvassing for crayon portraits. The
defendant is an employe of w. G. Cut
birth, the Photographic artist at Thir-
teenth and X streets.
S. S. Culver, the complaining witness,
testified to having found Summerfield
and a man named Dumphy canvassing
without a license and for that reason he
arrested them. He understood that they
were employed by Cutbirth, but that
gentleman, he thought, could not be
considered g. manufacturer.
The defense admitted that they were
canvassing for crayon and pastel work,
and number of ladies who had given
orders and who were called as wit
nesses were excused from testifying.
=. G. Hart appeared for the defense
and introduced Robert Gilbert, who
stated that he was an all-around artist
and had lately been doing work for Mr..
Cutbirth. The latter was negotiating
with him to secure his services perma-
nently. The only part Of a crayon
picture not made In Mr.. Cutbirth's $
studio was the solar print. All the art
work was executed in his gallery.
w. G. Cutbirth, on behalf of his en-
ploye, stated that last week he ar
ranged to go into crayon and pastel
work. He had employed artists and all
of the mechanical work was to be done
in the city. The chemical or solar work
was secured in San Francisco, just as
he had secured paper elsewhere. All
that was art was manufactured In
the city. He claimed to be the only man
in the city who employed a crayon
artist and made his own negatives for
that work.
Charles f. Shafer, an artist from Oak
land, testified that he was now in the
employ of Cutbirth and had arrived Sat
urday. He had been eighteen years in
the business A solar print was a
shadow picture. upon which a crayon
was made. No manufacturer created
all of his materials A piano manu-
facturer might buy the keys and strings
elsewhere and still be a manufacturer.
City Attorney Brown argued that the
crayon and the solar print We're each
parts of the finished picture; hence
there was clearly violation of the or
dinance.
Mr.. Hart maintained that the solar
print was not what the defendant was
canvassing for. 1t was for crayons. The
solar print was simply an aid to the
artist.
Justice Davis stated that he was not
satisfied in his own mind as to the law
in the case, and that he would take the
matter under advisement until to-day

AT the Clunie Opera house last night
there was a fine audience-the largest
Monday night house we have seen there
in many day. The curtain raiser was
a neat dialogue comedy, The Happy
Pair" sustained by Nina and w. l..
Gleason capitally. The play of the
evening was Leonard Growers version
Of the roaring comedy THE Private
Secretary" The piece went off better
than on any of the several occasions
when it has been played here. 1t was
given with snap and vim, life and spirit,
and greatly pleased the audience. Mr..
Gleason is ideal as the confused and
meek secretary, Spaulding. The part
could scarcely be bettered: it was
more than clever assumption. Mr.. Hal
lett, when he came roaring on as old
Cattermole, received most generous
welcoming applause from a host of old
friends. He made all there is to be got
out of the part, and that is a good deal.
One of the best sustained characters
was that of the tailor by the new man,
Maurice Stewart His assumption of
the small part is capital work. The
other roles were filled by Miss Daiglish,
Miss Harrington, Miss Yantis and Miss
Rankin and by Messrs. Lonergan,
Stockbridge and Gibney, and all We're

MES him. He is the man Who is put into
cataleptic state and suspended heels
and head on the backs of two chairs
while 2OO-pound man sits on his
stomach, and under Kennedy's hand
wave his body bends as bow. That
this man is Kennedys employe he
makes known generally, though he did
not so state to the audience last night.
He invited physicians and members of
the press to comeupon the stage and ex-
anime the Subjects but none re-
sponded. Had they done so they would
have had better opportunity of detect
ing fraud, if any there was. Kennedy
made some of his subjects drink with
apparent relish burning hot and most
unpalatable mixtures, such as peppered
and Salted mustard water. coal oil, cod
liver oil. etc. They were made to do
the most fantastic and ridiculous things
imaginable; to sing songs that presum-
ably they had never heard, and to attire
themselves in the most absurd cos
tunes. Two of them We're put in a
cradle and made to fancy themselves
babies with a grievance, and to COM
promise to peace on nursing bottles.
Some of them performed feats of
strength, and others gamboled in leap
frog like schoolboys. If what Kennedy
did was genuine, then he is surprisingly
the best meSmerist we have ever had
here or have seen, and over fifty have
come under our observation during
many years. If it was fake, then ne
practiced one Of the lowest swindles
ever imposed upon a public. We are
not prepared to say that he is fraud, or
to. deny out of hand that he is square
performer. We have stated the facts
and the public will judge. On a second
night we are assured conviction of his
sincerity and honesty will be made
demonstrated beyond all cavil; that it
is difficult to get well-known subjects
on a first night and out of a slender au-
dience; that for certain feats he en-
ploys subjects who have developed as
remarkably susceptible, and that this is
proper, and no proof whatever of collu-
sion, as tests to be made will establish.
To that end he begs physicians to come
to the theater and examine the subjects,
take their pulse and note the action of
the heart, and the change in respira-
ton, and so on. 1t would seem improb-
able that Mr.. Kennedy could have at
tanned the renoWn he has, and have
played the engagements that he GER
tainly has in great cities and before sci
entific bodies, and not be what he
claims to be. Nevertheless his enter
tainment last night, while uproarious-
ly funny fairly boiling over with mirth,
was broadly open to suspicion of collu-
| sion. Kennedy meets this charge with
his record and the challenge to put him
to the test tonight, or any night this
week at the Metropolitan Theater, and
to that end he asks for free and indie
pendent committees to pass upon his
work.

The speed with which sound waves are transmitted through the atmos- phere depends on several conditions. When the temperature is at g de- grees F., sounds more with a speed of 1,oeo feet per second, the velocity increasing with the temperature at the rate of about one foot of speed per second for each degree above the freezing point. Then, again, in damp air sound moves with a great CT velocity than it does in dry air, no odds if the dry air be warm md the damp cold. In water sound moves more than four times as fast as it does in air, or, say, at about the rate of 4,7o0 feet per second.-St Louis Republic

A Solvent For Gold.

One of the most notable processes of its kind is that recently brought forward by a New Zealand inventor, Dr. Gaze, for the use of chloride of bromine as a solvent for gold, the employment of caustio soda to re- cover the chlorine and bromine for use, and the recovery of the gold from the solution by electrolysis in s-ead of by chemical precipitants. The most important feature Is said to be the method adopted for making the solvent used in gold extracting. by means of a containing vessel of about feet diameter and ? feet deep. In this vessel are placed a number of porous cells filled with plain water, each porous cell having a number of carbon rods placed in it, and the containing vessel itself filled with a strong solution of chloride and bro- mide of sodium, and more carbon rods are immersed in the solution. The whole Is fitted with a lid, one set of carbons being connected with one pole of a powerful dynamo ma chine and the other set with the other pole On passing a strong cur rent of electricity through the cleo trodes the salts are separated, the chlorine and bromine uniting, and the chloride of bromine thus formed is forced into a vessel overhead.
