WHEN THE LEAVES FALL.

From the Chicago News. Now doth the gladsome summer, all
 drenched in autumn tears, Flee swift to join the sombcr host of dead
 and bygone years. And, Iningling with its last few sobs sweet
 tinged with laughter whirls, There rises woe among the nen-1but joy
 among the girls. For men have got to ante up; they hear
 this daily song: "Oh gracious me, just declare most ev-
 trything's gone wrong! Three parties, two receptions and one ball
 will just suffice To make the people think, John, dear. we
 really cut some ice.' s'Then, Grace comes out, and Carrie wants
 to marry De Adbroke, So please to rustic up the piunls or put
 yourself in soak" And all Johns howls availing naught he And hits the bank for half his roll while
 wishing he were dead. Then, there's the man whose overcoat has
 four moaths' interest due. Cause he began to bay wheel just neatly
 built for two; And then again, there's one who's spent va
 cation and his dough Together, so he has no cash and must for
 months lie low. But the most scared man in all the lot is
 one who gets per week Ten plunks and knows iot of girls who
 have Il pie of ciseck. For theate-s are open now and he feels it
 in his bones Tha. the whole nscia viii ask him to Please
 take us. MT. Joaes!'

Not a Military Nation.

The Chicago Chronicle has the follow ing:
 The W'oman's Christian TempeTanea union of Nelblfasl0a fas begun a crusade against The teaching or military tactcs in the public schools of sha- state. The women cont nd w h cons.d raIble justice, tlJat it is not the funcdOa of the pubic schools to teach WnT-like studies. and from an ethical .s'tan9hOn. ,hey hold that it would be better to incu-cate peaceful ideas, even to the teaching tf.at an5itra- don should sSpersede war In the hish schools of Nebraska, as in some other siases the young men and even the young women are formed into cadet com panies and put through daily drlMs in charge of "a lieutenant dS,aiisd by the regular army. The Toys are cOmpele1 to furnish uniforms at 'their crNn experTse. The arms are furIa.shed by the boards of edit1cation, which generally stlcure stands of arms from the governments cIs.-off supplies. Tt is claimed 4hat these mill t7ry drills are introduced for the purpose CT discipline, but il is a notorious fsct that for long time the girls were not admitted to the exercise until comment upon -he diserirniraa lion compelled the cd ucators to include them also. Ours is not military Il1tion, and it is to be h-gpea that 1t Ntlil never become one. line discipline which comes with military training is moi needed by the masusss of

The real resiscn for turning cur school boys into milltiamen lies in the growing nd1i atism of th,s country.
 This is waste of words. The genuine military spirit is not growing in the coun- try at large. In the Past tlGrty years this country has had several provoeations which would have justified it in engaging in foreign war, but Ih.s rnment has submitted to stgral irrults aGld out rages upon it's citizens without firing a gun. The south is naturally military section, but she has not been in control of 'ahe government for more than gener- ation, ard has lacked the orpor unity of asserting herself.
 The military fad in the northern and western schools is simply tihe outcome of the popular craze in those sections for clubs, societies and other organizations which wear uniforms and badges. If a war should break out the south would furnish more volunteers in proportion to her population than any other quarter of the union. 1t 9luts always been So from the revolutionary era down to recent times.

KIeptoman.a a Disease.

"A writer in the Progressive Review in- sists that a close study Of the known cases of kleptomania sustains the theory that it is a disease transmitted to wo- men by fatHers imbued with criminal taste for money-getting. And in such taste is included not only criminal acts, but all unserupuIous commercial enter plfses, speculative op rations, railroad wrecking, stock watering, promotion of bubble schemes, and other similar efforts malady takes new form without any chang in principle It is th- appropria- tton to ones self on th= property of eth- CTS in the case Of either father or daugh- dissimilar; th= gathering-in habit much the same in essence.
 The peculiarities Of the alleged trans mission are certainly very remarkable. The dlseass so-called passes to a daughter only, and she must inh srit wealth amassed by others. The offense must be in her motiveless. As rule she has no use for the goods sh- takes-ceritainly no compelling overpowering need. She appropriates, so 1t is claimed, to gratify some inborn desire that springs from an inherited taInt
 It would be well, 1t esms. to receive this theory with considerable caution. The law does not recognize larceny in rich or poor as a disease. Money, as a recent California case, made public in LondCn showg may secure immunity
 from punishment, but Ithe statutes against larceny apply alike to all. If those statutes could in every case be enforced, it is not difficult to believe that the offense would be minimized, whethzr it be a disease or just plain stealing.
 Therein is the real trouble. The laws are not enforced against a woman in such cases, it being very easy to say that the offender must be 'unbalanced' in some mysterious way, because she has the means to purchase whatever sh+ may desire. Th.b easy-going explanation, this exemption from punishment, has doubtless led to additional cases; and before the off as transformed into disease, 1t would be but prudent to see what an impartial execution of the law would accomplish. A few cases of pun ishment in central localities would soon test ths efficacy of enforced law.

IMMENSE WIRE COMBINE.
The New Trust Almost Completed The
Plant, Included.

CLEVELAND, Dec. 6.-The proposed
immense combination of wire, wire
nail and steel rod interests. overshadow-
ing anything of the kind ever before
planned, has advanced to the point
where the concerns interested have de-
cided to so in, and all that remains to
be done is to reach an agreement on
the value of the different mills. Daily
conferences are being held in New
York, ana Cleveland manufacturers
are in constant communication with the
seat o. activity.
The Cleveland concerns interested
are the AM rican Wire works, the H.
p. Nail company, the Consolidated
Wire d Steel company, the Cleveland
Rolling )! Accompany and probably the
Johnson company. The Pittsburg in
teresls are the Parkin works. the Bea-
yer Falls Norks. the Plttsburg Wire
company and the Oliver Snyder COM
pany The last named carries with it
the Oliver interests in the immense
Carnegie acquisitions. Besides rod
mills the new combination incl des
steel mills, blast furnaces and iron ore
mines. Mines are owned by the Cleve-
land Rolling Mill company and by the
Oliver anu Carnegie interest,". 1t is
the plan that all the interests involved
lose their identity and go out of bust
ness and there be simply the one great
company
The statement is made that John w.
Gates. the originator of the scheme,
will not be the general manager, as
was at fir suggested. but that this
Office will be occupied by w. p. Snyder
of Pittsburg. The further statement is
made by Cleveland iron men, who are
interested, that the company will rest
in the hands OF j. Pierpont Morgan
and his associates. they having ar
ranged to obtain that control by pur-
chase.

The promptnsss with which Far

S. Mcleod for q match with him,
submitting in the same connection
the signed articles for Mcleod to

able assurance that the long talked
of meeting between these two wrest-
lers will now be brought of. One
thing is certain, Mcleod must now
come to the scratch if he means bust
