for her cloak Cummings had the key
and admitted himself to the room, where
the landlord discovered him. The land
lord summoned the police officers and
caused the arrest of Cummings. The
matter was cleared up in court, how

S-The Musical Critics Dream Dix
A Modern Melody Among the Old
Composers-Synopsis: The organst
manipulated the great instrument be-
fore him, and held the vast congrega-
ton spellbound. When he had finished,
a celebrated musical critic approached
him and asked: What was that beau
tiful melody just played? l never
heard II before. ''OH. yes you nave,
replied the organist, and, seating him
self. played the melody faster, in waltz
time, whereupon a heated argument
followed, the critic condemning the
organist, saying. such music is ig-
noble" That night, however, the
critic had a dream in which he saw a
group of the old masters. each playing
one of his best compositions, and in
Producing the well-known melody as
leading theme.

Two Missing Melons

A complaint was sworn to In Justice
Morrisons court yesterday by ]. D.
Hughes, charging one Tom Smith with
petty larceny. The alleged crime con-
sisted in the abstraction Of two water
melons from the patch Of G. Moulton
and Ramon Ybarra in East Los Angeles.
The value of the melons was placed at
2 cents. If Smith really took the melons
the officer may get some trace Of him by
inquiring at drug stores for man who
purchased remedies for cramps.

It is the common report that persons who
are not now charged with negligence or in
competence will be caught in the net of in
quiry, while others who are openly accused
win be found blameless. If an inquiry
should be made into the cause of SO much
sickness outside the army, 1t would be
found that many people who think them
selves in good condition are really caught
in the net of disease. Many of them are los

The largest and most successfully
conducted strike movement that has
taken place in the building industry for
many years has just been brought to a
close in New York. Over 10000 men
were directly, and nearly $4,000 indirect
ay. affected. The movement was start
ed by the Employees association in the
stone industry. The employers heard
that their 2 900 employees in the 40 stone
yards in the city intended to go on
strike for the union scale of wages and
an eight-hour work day. The employ
ers ordered a lockout of all their en-
ployes, which went into effect instantly.
The Stone Cutters union, to which the
1000 employees belonged, had a full
treasury, and is also AFFILIATED with the
Board of Walking delegates, an execu-
tive organization with sc. GOO members.
This board ordered strikes in over one
hundred buildings all over the city.
nearly every trade in the building in
dustry being successfully involved. The
result is that nearly all the stone cut
tiers have been taken back to work
under union conditions. The sympa-
fhetic strikes lasted three weeks and
The lockout eight weeks.

population is about equal to that OF
Hayti, the proportion of colored to
white is nearly the same, and so far as
laziness and general incapacity to do
any kind of work properly are con-
cerned, neither can claim supremacy
over the other The towns in both
Santo Domingo and Hayti are mere ag-
gregations of fiimsy houses, with streets
which are used as the receptacIes Tor all
the filth and refuse from the houses,
and, after seeing one of the centers OF
population on the island, no visitor can
wonder of the fact that yellow fever.
cholera and other tropical peStilenceS
are never absent. Port au Prince is
beautifully situated, and has popula-
ton of about 10000. but why any white
man should make his home there except
under cOmpulSion or with the hope or
making money enough to get away and
live somewhere else, has not yet been
explained. San Domingo, the capital OF
the east end of the island, is Spanish
town, with antiquated walls and fort1h-
cations, and does not differ in any re-
spect from other Second-clasS towns in
Spanish America. San Domingo is
little ahead of Hayti in one respect, that
it has about 100 miles of railroad and
a few telegraph lines. but on the other
hand. Hayti has cable station. which,
in the opinion of the Haytians. evens up
matters pretty well. Under a stable
form of government both divisions of
the island might become important fac
tors in the commercial world but there
seems at present no more proba bility or
permanent government in Hayti or
San Domingo than in Central America

Patriotic Action of San francisco
Railroad President

San Francisco, June AT last the vol
unteers who came to their country's de-
Tense have been recognized by the railroad
companies For more than a month every
enlisted man at the Preside who wanted
to come to the city compelled to walk
a distance of five miles pay his fare on
the cars that Travelled to his encampment.
Many were without funds and therefore
down town or visiting loved ones.
Pleasure was depicted on the face of
the men when informed by their respect
i've commanders yesterday that hereafter
they would be permitted to ride free on
the Preside and Ferries Railroad line.
This was due to the generous action of
President George A. Newhall of the road,
and is only another of those acts
of kindness and patriotism that have been
shown the men since the present hostili-
ties commenced.
Now that the order is in effect hundreds
of soldiers journey daily to and from the
Preside and are profuSe in their thanks
for the courtesy.

TOTAL CITY CIRCULATION 1900.

The total city circulation has aver
aged over 1900 for the month and as
the population here is $4,000, this is a
copy of the State Journal every day
for less than every five people, counting
men, women, children and infants. 1t
is believed that no city in the union can
make so good a showing. 1t is also true
that no city in the United States of
the size of Topeka has such good news
papers-nor spends anything like the
amount Of money the newspapers of
Topeka spend to give their people
morning and evening newspapers of
which they well may be proud.
The only people in Topeka who do
not read the State Journal are people
who can not read or who do not pay
their bills-neither is a very desirable
class nor a large one.
