MAsHER COMES TO GRIEF.
One Is PubIIoiy Thrnshed In Milwaukee
by Young Woman.

On one of the principal downtown
streets in Milwaukee a woman was
seen one evening last week roundly
chastising a man with an umbrella
After severely belaboring him about
the head with It for several seconds
she went on her way not stopping to
enjoy the cheers OF the spectators. The
subject of her wrath was one of those
creatures who are known as mash
ers." The story as told by a friend
Of the woman is that while she was
walking along Broadway, on her way
to the newsboys' art exhibit OF which
she was one OF the patronesscs. a man
wearing a polished beaver and other
wise neatly attired, approached her and
said; Good evening" The man Ip.
peared to be about 35 or 40 years Of
age and was apparently respectable.
and the woman thought he had made
a mistake She walked to Wisconsin
street and then west. She discovered
that the man was following her. He
approat he'd her for the second time
and repeated his remark. Here II was
light, and she thought he must have
seen his mistake this time. The man
dropped behind, and the now some
what frightened woman went on quick
ly She hurried over the bridge. hop
ing she would now be unmolested. The
man was following, however and fin
ally he placed himself directly in front
Of her just opposite Gimbels' People
walking by noticed the occurrence
For an instant the two stood facing
each other Then the woman's little
figure stiffened The hand in which
she was holding an umbrella was sud
fculy raised and as suddenly de
* ended, the umbrella striking square
ly upon the polished beaver. which was
knocked from the mans head. and
went spinning down the stairs leading
10 the barber shop underneath the Em
pire hall. An approving yell went up
from several boys on the street, and
everyone else shouted with laughter as
the 'masher" who wholly surprised,
stood amazed. with eyes and mouth
wide open in astonishment. receiving
the punishment he justly deserved.

Capacity for knowledge
From the New York Post: That the
Indian has capacity for higher ed
ucation appears from the facts given
in the eighteenth annual report of the
Indian industrial school at Carlisle,
Pa. During the past year five students
from Carlisle have attended Dickinson
college. one at Metzger college for
women. Others have attended the
Carlisle high school, some have
been at the normal schools OF
the state, Drexel institute at Phil
adelphia and the nurses schools of
Philadelphia. New Haven and Hart
ford. One of the pupils. after grad
uating from a New England normal
school, was employed last year in
high school in Connecticut and taught
so successfully as 10 be recalled and

teal Industrial character, as best ntted
TO make the Indian self-supporting IN
his changed condition. AS a further
means OF Inducing the Indian boys
and girls into civilized family and ma
tlonal life the outing system has been
adopted. During the fiscal year 1897
there were placed out from the Car
Isle school for longer or shorter pc
riods i0l boys and $40 girls. OF these
lO4 boys and 10l girls remained out all
winter, attending district and other
Americanizing schools with the young
people OF the families In which they
resided, earning their board with their
work out OF school hours. BY an ex-
tension OF this system the school could
economically care for 500 children. or
about twice the present number en-
rolled. The children placed with fam
illes last year earned a total OF S2O'-
1889, OF which the boys earned Sl3.-
1887 and the girls s7.26S.l2. From
these amounts the boys saved S6.426.OS
and the girls s., ,2SS2l. Boys and girls
who have been out number Of times

VENGEANCE is ~ hand There is to
be no more dilly dallying with lying
SpaniEh diplomats. Uncle Sam is go
ing to take Spain across his knee and
give il thrashing it has so long de-
served at our hands, and the eowArdly
and dsstardly massacre of our ssilors
and the destruction Of our bAttleship
is to be avenged Even Mr.. Mckinley
is now convinced that Spain has been
playing him automatically for no
other purpose than to gain time. Mr.
Mckinley acknowledged his failure TO
secure the independence of Cuba by
diplomacy, and now il Is the turn Of
congress, which this week will either
declare war against Spain or adopt
legislation that will be equivalent to a
declaration Of war. A last frantic at
tempt is being made by the bond-hold-
ing element to muzzle congress, but
there is no possibility OF itstueceeding.
Congress knows that the end OF the
patience Of the people OF the country
who place national honor aud patriot
ism above the stock ticker OF Wall
street has been reached and that the
time OF action is at hand, and it will
act; and its action will mean war,
which the country Is now in position
to fight TO victorious end in shoI I
order, il it only has Spain TO contend
with, and is determined TO win regard
less Of what II has 10 contend with.

An appalling disaster with terrible
loss OF life such as occurred at Shaw
neetown, H., Sunday brings grief to
the entire nation and opens millions Of
hearts TO sympathy and millions OF
purses for contributions TO aid the
needy. The American people are FOR
tunate in that their attention can
never be so fully absorbed by any
train Ct events, no matter how serious
that distress does not appeal TO them
with the greatest force and evoke a
response OF magnificent generosity.
With every heart in the land pulsating
more rapidly as the result Of the ma
iions present strained relations the
horror Of this catastrophe Is none the
less atutely felt.
That similar disasters are not more
frequent is a surprise to people not Ac-
customed to living on lands above the
level OF whic the " Aters Of a mighty
river surge along in almost annual
floods OF danger height Strangers
visiting such places are impressed at
once with the peril but residents Of
years give the matter little heed. They
become accustomed to the conditions
and take little thought OF possibilities.
Local and state authorities are all im-
bued with this comparative indiffer-
ence. Under these circumstances and
in view Of this wholesale drowning it
may well be asked whether the gen.
ersl government should not take more
active protective measures against
food water ia navigable rivers.

iAhed. LIS voting strength is composed
almost entirely OF ignorant, worthless
darkies and the election booth is a
farce. The negroes in the west pre-

the east precinct, and then they quietly
proceed to stuff the ballot box for their
iavorite candidate by the light OF a
candle. The mayor and council should
see that the Fifth ward has but one
precinct. The ward is not entitled TO
two and corruption will thrive so long
