Victor Kline, the boy put In jail a

robbIng the Burdsal Gallery, was
given a preliminary hearing yester'
day before Mayor Cook, ex'ollicio
justice Of the peace The evidence
az far as we heard, put the theft
upon a boy by the name OF Wilson,
Kline was arrested as we learn, by
officer Belden and placed In jan, and
by a series of questions from the
officer, told him the goods stolen
were buried In his mothers wood
shed, and was placed there by young
Wilson, who told him he was going
toShreyeport, aud that when he re-
turned he would pay him $1,000 for
keeping the goods for him. IL
seems that Wilson got scent that
the officers were after him and he

HAPPY GLASGOW.

We all know Glasgow
lt is in Scotland and here in Provi-
denco we have been taught 20 feel that
il is a particularly favored community.
IL has no taxes. That is, no rates. ."
which arc, we believe, personal property

trio lights. its trolley cars its gas and
about everything of the sort that in pre-
sumably less favored communities are in
the possession of semi public" corpora
tlons that hustle for dividends under
municipal franchise. We have hoard
rumors 60 the effect that Glasgow makes
so good profit from these public enter
prises that she could.ge along without
even tho real estate taxes.
All this we have learned about But it
ia not so generally known that Glasgow
is equally fortunate in the matter of doc
tors-that is she has an amazingly small
number Of doctors, only i0i in popula-
tion Of S54, Goa.
At least that is the claim. IL is not
altogether reliable, we believe, since Scot.

ber of doctors it finds usefulness for in
proportion TO the population-there are
more than in any other European coun-
try.
STILL Glasgow may he a fortunate ex-
ception 20 the general rule % the country.
We trust il Is. Doctors are good fellows

for the very good reason that his t. an oc-
cupation that a community would prefer
to have as little use for as about any you
can think OF.
And Glasgow is happy, indeed, If, not
having the doctors, she doesn't have need
of them.

The new scientific kites are very

are young people. Gin the spring time

educational sport, indeed, The new
-angled kites not only'sail high but they
support flags ana lanterns and are avail
able FOR exhibition purposes.
The kites are made in number OF
sizes. the smallest being ABOUT two feet
high. The largest yet put on the market
eight feet high. They consist of
wooden frame, light but stiff, covered
with linen bands so arranged that they
.sill take wind with little effort on
she part OF the flyer. To sail the old
sshioned kite it was necessary for
one person 10 hold It soma feet above
The ground while another ran violently
against the wind with the string. To
sail the modern kite all that Is necessary
.s to lay il on the ground and pull gently Mt
the string. The old-fashioned ones had
tails which were invariably TOO heavy or
TOO light; the modern onos have no tails.
TO adjust the big kites IL was necessary

TRYING FOR UNION.

A committee of the Sons of the Revo-
luton met committee of the Sons OF the
American Revolution several days ago ir
a room at tho Fifth Avenue Hotel, New
York. and discussed for several hours tn,
proposed union of the two orders, As
matter OF fact their objects are identical.
and the requirements for Inemb bership are
now about the same.
1t was announced after the conference
that both committees seemed TO be
anxious for union, and that well-con-
sidered plan to such an end. together with
the constitution, was finally adopted.
The similarity of these two organizations
in all essential details is very confusing
to Outsiders, ana there have been times
when their disagreemonts have lacked
dignity. There is 40 doubt but that these
patriotic orders serve u very usefui pur-
pose. and it is equally evident that while
the public az large admits this fact 1t dis
approves of the chickering's and disagree
ments that have occurred in them.
The same condition of affairs exists
among the patriotic orders for women.
There are Daughters OF the American
Revolutiou and Daughters OF the Revolu-
tion, and neither has established any
claim 10 be recognized as peace society
III % union Letween the Sons Is agreed up
on, il il probable that the rival societies
of the Daughters will join forces.
