Household Words; A certain minister
who Is not always so careful as he ought
to be in making his teaching and his prac-
tice correspond, was lately telling some
friends story OF adventure. 1t was pretty
tall story, and the minister's 10-year-old
little girl was observed to be listening to 1t
very intently When he finished, she fas-
tened her wide-open eyes upon her fathers
face, and said very grayely. us that true, or

called "Elma in Fairyland," which was
given week ago under the direction of Mrs
Wertz. will be repeated-at matinee next
Thursday, April 1. for the same charitable
object as before, in aid of the Chlld's Home.
This is certainly the most elaborate and en-

Creighton for two performances, opening
Friday night, April g. and closing with a
matinee Saturday in the annual engage
ment of Primrose & Vests Big Mnstrels.
The names of Primrose and West have be-
come familiar ones. For many years they
have been among the leaders in their line
OF amusement. Last season they made what
was considered a very reckless experiment
in taking two complete minstrel shows, one
given by an organization of colored men,
numbering thirty people, and the other con-
sisting of forty whites, and rolling ttrm
into one big company. Managers argued
that 1t was foolhardiness on the part of pro-
prietors, in view Of the discouraging out
look that confronted the theatrical specu-
lator, but these progressive producers failed
to see it in the same light, Their judg-
ment was proved to be correct, as the en-
tertainment made pronounced success. 1t
is this organizationy forty whites and thirty
blacks which will he seen at the Creighton
II is said to be the biggest company of its
kind in the world and includes the elect in
tho various kinds of work which go to make
up thoroughly equipped minstrel show,

WISCONSIN 1NsTITurIoNs

y
A movement is being formulated to in
vestigate the management of ninc NJ tho
principal State institutions az Wisconsin
on SERIOUS charges. Proceedings are
already pending against Supe rintend-
ent j. G. Hart, of the industrial school
for boys at Waukesha, on charges of
drunkenness and cruelty, and Richard
Petherick, of the state board of control,
has been placed in temporary charge of
the institution.
Since these proceedings began Lynn S.
Pease, one of the attorneys for the pro-
secution, has received letters demanding
an inquiry into other State institutions.
and it is expected that formal charges
will soon be placed in the hands of the
board of control.
The chief institutions against the man
agement of which complaint is made are
the asylum for the insane at Mendoza,
with over 800 inmates; northern hospital
for the insane at Oshkosh, with early 600
inmates; State prison at Waupu, with
about 626 inmates.
The number of boys confined in the
State school being investigated is about
$50. Undue cruelty, it is understood, is
the principal complaint in each instance
1t is evident from the above that a teri-
GUS overhauling of the institutions of tho
Badger State is imperatively necessary.
and now that the good work has COM
menced it is hoped it. will be the rough
and complete.

A handsome $500 hay horse has recent.

Washington advices are to tho effect
that the tariff bill.wiil he through the
Senate by the 30.h OF this month and
will become law by July 10. AS d pro-
moter of prosperity there is no need in
hurrying up the work on the tariff bill,
since Dun's and Bradstreet's reviews
of trade both show that prosperity is
coming right along regardless Of the Re
publican tariff or anything else except
the welfare of the people of the United
States. The truth of the matter is the
people of the country are tired of hard
times, and having gone to the extreme of
financial depression, they are gradually
emerging from the financial chaos and
with heads erect and eyes we'll open to

DIsAGREEABLE BUT NECESSARY


President Mckinley was IN the hands
OF dentist for an hour or more on Fri
day His bitterest enemies could not
wish him n severer fate. All who have
lived to the age of thirty years know
what 1t is to be in the hands of ones dem
tIst for few hot rs, even when it is adj
United that the intentions of the dental
surgeon are among the best. If men and
women had been made without teeth
these lovable hut disagreeable ad1uncts
to the social life OF even the greatest men
would not be the necessity they now are.
Even the great and immortal George
Washington in the latter days of hls life
used false teeth, and history records the
fact that the plate fitted so Indifferent tly
to the roof Of the mouth of the Father of
his Country chat it had avery inconven

down on his tongue just as he was about

be treated with kindness and considera

The acquittal of John S. Shriver, the
Washington repre- sentative of the New
York Mail and Express, who has recently
been on trial in Washington befoie Judge
Bradley for contumacy in refusing to
answer certain questions in the Senate
sugar investigations, is regarded as tri-
umphant vindication of the rights of the
press. Doctors and lawyers are allowed
to keep the secrets of the patients and
clients inviolate, and the live and ener-
getic newspaper man in the intelligent
pun suit of his profession is often told
many things in confidence which would
be ruinous to his business and reputation
for him to expose. The recent decision
is vindication of his right to holdS j,is
tongue when the obligations of honor
enjoin him to secrecy, and teaches the
DO Eers chat be that newspaper men have
some rights which they are bound to re-
spect.

New Jersey mosquitoes have always
been noted ..fDr thei, size, ferocity and
blood thirstiness; but it was hardly be-
lieved by the people of the rest of the

victim mad. Yet such seems to have been
the case with Carmino Lepre, 42.year.
old bootblack of New York city, who
was bitten by one of these wide-eyed
long billed monstrosities while visiting

set in soon afterwards, and the pain made

good. The wonders of Jersey will never

THE MAN ABOUT TOWN.
A Few Observations, Political and
Otherwise.

The man about town has heen so pre-
occupied with political gerrymandering
during the'past week that other things
have escaped his notice. The. ridiculous
spectacle OF two factions with one object
in common, working for the accomplish
ment OF that object, yet pulling and hold
ing each other, riling and raving. heapi rg
unbecoming anatbemas ON each other. is
in itself enough to arouse the risibles of
the most staid observer. But harmony
has at last been accomplished and peace
reigns supreme. Each side is victorious
iuasmuch as. they have accomplished
that for which they we've working, but
perhaps not by the same methods and
means that each have liked best. But
now let these little differences pass and
let each man get to work and stop sheet
ing at snowbirds beyond when savage
beasts are crowded around our feet ready
to devour us.

Oh, how we sigh for the peaceful life of
the EsquimauX during this warm
weather How nice it would be to wrap
ourselves in blanket lined with ice
cream and lay ourselves down on downy
bed of icebergs to dream away the weary
hours. Everything is warm. A chilling
reception from our best girl would
change the monotony of things and would
almost be pleasant; but no; she meets us
with painfully warm reception and
naively suggests stroll which invaria-
bly, brings us in close proximity to soda
fountain or ice cream parlor, where the
seductive fizz of the soda as it gushes
forth or the tempting swish of the cleo
trio fans Is too much for our weak hui
man nature, and we enter and give up
that last dime which might have meant
zwei beer. It's hot, but we can't help it,
so we will just perspire, calculate IA few
adjectives and patiently await snow

upon jealousy by people who caunot
afford it and regarded rs a luxury by
those whose ideas of lifes sustenance is
limited to what comes from the greasy

afford it nearly subsist upon this species
of frozen victuals. The laborins man

THE WESTERN GROWTH.

According to the local censuses taken in
the various cities throughout the United
States there are only two with a population
Der of their inha bitants since the National
census of 1890. Remarkably enough both
of these favored communities ase on the
Pacific Coast; one to the north of San
Francisco and one to the south.
In 1890 the population of Los Angeles
was set down as 10000 According to the
local census of the present year it exceeds
100. 900. The Herald AYERS that there is no
padded directory estimate about this GEN.
sus, it having been carefully taken in
the regular manner"
In 1890 the number OF people in Port
land, Oregon, reached 10000. In 1897 the
census figures approach $1,000. Situated
almost midway between these two cities
San Francisco contains $50. 900 inhabitants
in 1897. an increase of 81, 600 over the
population OF 1890. which was given at
that time as 299 000
As rule the Eastern cities show moth
ing like such gains as those of Portland
and Los Angeles, although some of them
have increased in about the same pro-
portion as San Francisco. Plalnly the
tide of population is moving westward as
rapidly, il not more rapidly, than it
ever did. The West being newer devel-
opmen; there naturally has been grad
ual exodus from East to West ever since
the said new development began. This
gradual shifting OF population is about
measurably represented by San Fran
