HIS SCHEME FAILED.

 The Hebrew Professors Insidious At
 tack on Boomers.
 President Harper, of the University of Chicago, as everybody knows, has been called upon to tackle no end of heavyweight problems. He has ham died them all as easily as the versicope pictures allow MT. Fitzsimmons to swat MT Corbett.
 It is whispered now that the presi- dent has met the enemy and he is theirs. The boomer girl has carried the day. Time was, g. year ago. when the bicycle girl was not numerous. The run from the basement where she stored her wheel to the dressing-room where she could doff the picturesque highland kilt was too terrifying for even plump and bright-faced fresh men. Since the organization of the women's bicycle clubs everybody has plucked up courage. Short skirts are as common as long ones in class and about the campus.
 Dr. Harper has hinted in vain. At the chapel hour, when he is wont to promulgate edicts, the front row of NAdilS PieoeilS peWIuerlllB dTFdy UL young women, strong in the conscious ness of well-turned ankles. They smile and smile and look serenely un- conscious of being lectured. A venera- ble professor of Hebrew thought he had hit upon winner. He gave to some of his pupils the following point ed sentences for translation: "A maiden should not enter class In a short. unseemly bicycle suit" and Bloomers are an abomination
 He was informed by cheery femi- nine chorus that there were no such words as bicycle and "bloomers" in the Hebrew dictionary.-Chicago Trib- une.

 AN ELECTRIC FISHING REEL.

Something That Would Make Izaak
 Walton Turn Iii His Crave
 A local genius at Columbus, Ind, is said to be have invented an electric fishing reel which is highly successful from one point of view and very destructive from another. As described in dispatch to 'The Journal" there is inclosed in the fishing line a small wire which is attached to a battery near the fisherman or executioner and connecting at the other end with the hook. When the machine is in action the moment the fish touches the hook fl receives a shock that kills it. 1t is said that eighty pounds of fish were killed with the machine in an experi- mental trial of few hours.
 The inventor seems to be ingeniously diabolical. As a means merely of kill | ing fish, it may have all the merit claimed for it. but it is enough to make lold Izaak Walton turn in his grave, if there Is enough of him left to turn, or rise to Indignantly protest. A 1 machine that destroys every element or sport and gives the person who l manipulates it every possible advan- tage over the fish has nothing to recom- l mend 1t except its capacity for killing hsh. In this respect it is quite as un- sportsmanlike as dynamite, and only less barbarous in that 1t only kills one fish at time instead of scores. It Is I somewhat remarkable that this infer \ nal machine should have made it's ap- pearance at the home of the State Fish Commissioner Mir. Sweeney has been doing good work In the way of putting a stop to the unlawful catching and killing of fish, and if the law can be
 made to cover this new machine he
 will doubtless apply it.-1ndianapoils

The New Orleans Times Democrat is showing a human spirit by giving warm advocacy to a public movement to supply mosquito bars for the beds in the parish prison, the workhouse and the Boys House of Refuge. It is only another illustration, 1t says, of the bar parity and inhumanity of the responsi- ble officials to compel "poor, unfortu- nate people, criminals though the most of them are, to sleep without cover from the mosquitoes in this latitude, and is grevious exhibition of cruelty" It can find no warrant for torture in the punishment of criminals, and as for those detained as witnesses it is "a disgrace and a scandal that these al- together innocent persons should be subjected for months and months to the cruel punishment of being preyed upon by mosquitoes. For $210 the six hun dred beds in the three institutions can be suitably protected, and the hope is expressed that the humane and charit- able people of the city will quickly sub scribe the amount.
