JESSE JAMES GOOD BOY.
Steady and Industrious and Has n
Good Position With the ArmOurs.
Kansas CitB World

Every morning except Sunday tall,
well built, sturdy-looking man, with
smooth face and clear, sparkling eyes,
mounts a bicycle in front of modest
little frame cottage at No. 3402 Tracy
avenue and rides away to his work.
AS he spins along the thoroughfares, his
we'll proportioned figure showing 10
good advantage in t-fitting suit, many
admring glances are cast his way. Prob
ably one person in u hundred recognizes
him. He is the son of thelate Jesse James.
His name is also Jesse T., but his friends
and acquaintances call him "Tim,'' be-
cause, probably, Timothy James, when
spoken is not so liable to excite the
curiosity Of strangers asiwould the name of
his noted father. ,jG9:
Jesse 7. James is now twenty years
old. He is regarded by his friends and
neighbors as model ydung man-honest,
sober and Industrious He Is timekeeper
in the Armour Packing Company's plant,
where for five years he has been employed.
His employers regard him highly, and de-
light in extolling his merits.
Jesse-or Tim-supports his mother and
sister, He has just finished pa ying for their
moderate little home, which is a story and
a half frame building, with porch run
ming along cne side. Miss Maria James,
his sister, is now seventeen years old. She
is sweet-faced young woman Of q rather
retiring disposition. This is her third year
in high school, and next year she expects
to graduate. Her brother is very proud of
her, and Mrs. James, motherly-looking
woman, with rather sorrOwful eyes, Is very
proud Of her children.
dol know Tim James, son Of Jesse?"
said an employe Of the packing house, re-
peating the question of a reporter, "Well,
l should say 1 do, and 1 don't know any
thing bad of him, either. He's one Of the
best young men ever knew; steady, hon
est, accommodating you never met a
nicer fellow in your life''
All Of his fellow-employes have kindly
word to say for Tim Resides being an eX-
pert bicyclist, Tim is a fine amateur base
ball player, and is an infielder on the
Schneider Blues, at one time the strongest
baseball team in this part of the State.

The DesitoSer.

The cracking and singing OF the liberated
current could be hearlifor a mile, as The
kissing tongues of flame leaped and
danced in the darkness. But what was
more, the next shells from the hatticship
never reached their iparky but exploded
in air hundred yards away from the
strange craft, Jets and flashes Of silvcry
light springing across the intervening space
TO meet them in their flight.
Then the destroyer sdarted forward,
and. under hail of machine-gun fire, ran
down upon the ironclad. The battleship
ported her helm, and swerved to ayeid
ramining, but she had another force to deal
with.
The whaleback also sweryed, and when
within a hundred yards of her victim a
Jagged bolt of lightning shot from her steel
beak, and with a crash like thunder linked
her for an instant to the steel battleship.
Quicker than thought, piercing the dark
ness, bolt followed bolt in binding Sc
quence, like the wrath of heaven in bodily
form. But hardly had the crash Of the third
blow rung out when masts, decks and tur-
rets Of the ironclad rose in air on a billow
Of scarlet flame that burst from her in
terror.
Guns hurled from the barbettes exploded
in midair, and while the roar of The ex-
plosion still echoed across the water the
blackened wreck collapsed and sank, leav-
ing only a ghostly pillaw OF white smoke
wavering above the black water.
The great eye of tie whaleback,
which had sprung into life again, glarcd
through the spreading haze like an ocean
cyclops in search of a fresh victim. But
the remnant of the allied squadron seeing
the fate Of their leader, had swung in their
tracks and We're crowdns on all steam for
the open sea

There is nothing in the world to be com

This was the exclamation of the young
artist, Marie Baskirtseff whose journal
everyone read few years ago TO the
many it was fad Of the moment, to the
few it became perpetual inspiration, TO
be drawn upon III gloomy hours for u re-
vival Of hope. II you read the book ana

divine discomfort which sinflamed her; II
you were sensitive to the burning asplra-
tions which poured from her heart, you
have still a strong remembrance OF what
she says OF artists and their work
In Washington there is q large colony
of artists, and the life Of art seems to wash
around the grounds Of the White House.
The Corcoran Art Gallery is the Gibraltar;
across the park is the Cosmos Club, and
there are numerous private studios on
Seventeenth street But the art school it
self is the hotbed OF activity, for there the
sproting geniuses are placed in soil into
which they may send the roots OF their
being and find nourishment and warmth
TO stimulate and feed the cravings for the
beautiful, and may also attain the power
to become creators for themselves.
Hone for Genius In Neeu.
There is one glorious thing about the
art school. 1t is absolutely free. There Is
not another school in America that gives
this opportunity TO the talented poor And.
strange to say, most of the artist world is
poor The very word art calls up pictures
Of garrets, OF hunger, Of rneagre lives FED
with ambition. Washington is written down
as the center of many great phiianthroples,
and this is one of the greatest OF It's bless

art school is worthy To endure.
In the rear of the Corcoran gallery,
whose great bronze lions blink at you

ONLY A POLITICAL GUN.

j. b. Brown and Martin Kelly We're
Loaded for Bigger Game.
]. B. Brown, the well-known Republican
politician of the Twenty eighth Assem- bly,
District, and his friend, Martin Kelly. deny
that they had engaged in quarrel Satur-
day night, at the corner of First and Fol-
som streets. 1t seems now that some of
their friends played practical joke upon
them when story was told TO the caily
papers to the effect that Mr.. Brown and
his political colleague had been duelling.
1t now tTanspires that it was only a
political gun that came near to exploding
Saturday night. There was some talk of
the principals reaching for more tangible
weapons, but that was merely talk. They
have been loading their guns for bigger
game.
AS matter of fact Messrs. Kelly and
Brown are old friends and still stand to-
gether in the political arena. 1t would all
have appeared to them as huge Joke
only Mr.. Brown believes that people
should not joke so grimly at his expense.
"Why, there was nothing in it at all"
Brown remarked last evening. There
were no old sores. We never had quar-

and 1 are the best of friends, and never
had even dispute. l cannot understand
it, for there was nothing to quarrel about.
The first knew of it was when / was in
the barber-shop, and about all the fighting
was done there. / couldn't believe it at first,
but have an idea now of how it was man

Martin Kelly said that he and Mr.. Brown
were the best of friends. This talk about

right. | haven't carried gun for years.
We didn't meet that night, although
we are neighbors; and as for this biff- bang
business, do we look badly abused?
Somebody certainly played a, practical
joke. and, after all, it was only political
gun that was fired.

WILL co TO THE COURTS
Election Commissioners to Test
the County Government
Act.
Anxious to Ascertain the Term of
Office of City and County
Officials.

The Board of Election Commissioners
will endeavor to ascertain, by recourse to
the courts, whether or not the county
government act is constitutional. The
matter came up at a meeting of the COM
mission yesterday when the matter of
precinct registration and the expense at
tached thereto was mentioned.
City and County Attorney Creswell said
tnat it would be better to first ascertain
whether or not the act was legal and valid
as in case it was it would be useless to
elect new officials, in view of the fact that
the act declares the term of office of city
officials to be four years instead of the two
for which they were supposed to have been
elected. MIR. Creswell was also in doubt
whether or not the amendment to the
registration act passed by the last Legisla-
ture would do away with precinct registra-
tion.
Mayor Sutro did not seem to be pleased
at the prospect of his term being extended
two years, declaring that he was thor
oughly tired of the position.
Il wouldn't worry about it, said Mr..
Creswell. "You have remedy il you are
tired of drawing your salary. There is
nothing to prevent you from resigning."
Mr.. Creswell suggested that an agreed
case could be commenced in the Superior
Court and rushed through to the Supreme
Court. He said that at the next meeting
of the Com missioners they could proceed
to advertise for bids on contracts for the
supplying of the necessary stationery for
registration, and an injunction suit could
be brought to restrain them from award.
ing such contracts.
This mode of procedure was agreed upon
and the necessary steps will be taken at
the next meeting.

|VANDAL DEEDS
At THE CITY HALL,
Public Property Destroyed,
Apparently for Re-
venge.

A Grievance Against the City
Supposed to Be the Motive
of the Wrecker.
PLUMBING WORK TORN AWAY.
Water and Gas Pipes Receive Special
Attention From the Mis-.
creant.
PLUMBING WORK TORN AWAY.

A new kind of vandal has broken loose
at the City Hall. and within the past few
weeks City Hall property to the extent of
several hundred dollars has been wantonly
destroyed.
For week past Captain Lees detectives
have been trying to unearth the perpetra-
tor OF these peculiar offenses, but so far,
though there are grave suspicious in cer-
tain directions, no arrests have been made.
1t is thought the culprit is an ex-em-
ploye OF the mechanical departm ents, and
this is borne out by the singular nature of
the vandalisms. Water-pipes have been
torn loose from the closets, and the water
allowed to food the floors during the
night. In other cases gas-fxtures have
been broken off and thrown on the floor,
and the gas permitted to escape for hours.
Somebody seems to have grudge against
the overworked taxpayer.
Aside from the destruction already men,
toned, water-supply tanks have been un-
screwed and permitted to fall to the floor.
This was practiced in a room adjoining
Judge Campbel's courtroom on the base
ment floor week ago, when the water
supply was shut off and the fountain torn
down.
The next place visited by the destructive
fiend was the hallway leading to the Free
Library. where a gaspipe projected from
the wall. The pire was unscrewed and a
half-inch flow cf gas was permitted to es-
cape during the night and until late the
next morning when Day Watchma an Kirk
patrick's attention was called to it.
These cases are not the only ones.
Nickelplated pipes and other ornamental
works have been defaced and cut in sew
eral places. Woodwork and various fix
lures have received marks of the chisel or
knife of the person who takes delight in
destroying public property.
The matter has been reported to the
police, but so far the detectives have been
unable to detect the offender.
Some of the officials at the hall think it
is the work of somebody with grievance,
real or fancied, against the City.
Whoever it may be, theft is not the mo-
tive evidently, as nothing is carried away.
Whatever damage is done is made ap-
parent by the wreckage left on the prem
ises.
It will in all probability cost about $500
to repair the property injured already.

all the carpenters in the City are now in
the unions. The other unions will proba-
bly, take similar action. Only four Of 4S3's s
members opposed the measure.
The platform of principles formulated
by the labor convention were indorsed by
the union.
On next Sunday the bakers of this State
will hold convention at III Turk street,
under the auspices of Bakers and Con-
fectioners' Union No. "a. The purpose is
to unite all the bakers unions in the State
under the international organization.
Also to form unions in all cities and towns
where at present no unions exist. Many
matters of interest of a statistical and
hygienic nature will be presented to the
convention.
There are signs of prosperity to be seen
in the Ironmolders' Union. Never be-
fore in the history of the organization has
so much attention been paid to social fea-
lures as at present. On the 23d inst. there
will be a social held in their headquarters
at 1850 Mission street, and on the 2Sth the
union will give a grand ball in Native

with applause and Kisses.
J. r. Martin, a socialist, was the next
speaker. He said Mr.. Gori seemed to be
erly speaking. He com batted Mr..
Gori's insinuation that the socialists
were becoming active at this season by
reason. OF private political motives,
and denied the repeated assertion
that socialists. when they obtain
power and money soon forget their social
ism. He earnestly contended that pa
tlence was necessary in order to realize the
socialistic ideal. He deprecated the sud-
the worst ends had in view by anarchy.
Governments, he said, rested upon the
united consent Of the governed. Destroy
the Government and you plunge society
into disorder and calamity.
Great restlessness had prevailed in the
audience toward the end of Mr.. Martin s
speech, which had far exceeded the fifteen
minutes limit His voice was finally over
whelmed by cries, Kisses and calls for
having finally stilled the tumult cried ::
"Mr. Martin has defended government

it. for wish to show that for anarchists to
keep faith it is not necessary to offer them
rewards and punishments. We want
no tutelage over humanity. They
say we follow distractions What
distractions? Mr.. Martin says there has
always been government, but how many
follies have there not been on earth?"
Cries for Griseri DELI Olmo to take the
floor overwhelmed further speech.
Gori dramatically impIored his friends
not to make any demonstration of hostil-
ity, but the tumult lasted fully five min

men who have been in our employ for
eighteen years. They do not belong to

compelled to discharge them for that rea-
son?
