From Tuesdays Chicago Record.

GumbaccO, advertised as a "combi-
nation of the finest chewing tobacco
and gum" is on sale in all the small
candy and tobacco shops in the north
west district, especially in the vicinity
of school buildings.
AT one of the schools Prescott,
at Wrightwood and Ashland avenues
squads of the boys were observed one
corner stores, and when they returned
they were chewing something and
strutting about like young turkeys.
Mrs. Margaret T. Fitch, the principal
of the school, made an inquiry into the
cause of their behavior and discovered
in one room seven of the pupils who
had packages of gumbacco. She con-
fiscated all the stuff that was left, has
tened to the nearby stores, bought the
stock on hand and warned the propri-
etors that if they sold it again she
the "cigarette law"
The gumbacco is put up in attractive
looking packages, the outer covering
being in purple, with white and orange
lettering, and bears the warning edo
not swallow the saliva" The cakes are
three and one-half inches long and one
and Oneh half inches wide. Each is di-
vided into five portions, and is of dark
brown color, the sides being covered
with powdered sugar. The taste is
sweet and aromatic and there is pun
gent, biting effect on the tongue and
lips after chewing for few moments.
The Tilden school, at Lake and Elz-
abeth streets, reports that in it's vcin-
ity a man has been making a gratui-
tous distribution of the substitute for
tobacco. One dealer said: "Dere vas
such call for it yust had to order
it," The board of health has taken the
matter up and the chemists are making
an analysis of the gum.

HAD TO HUSTLE.
[FrOm San Francisco Examiner. I

Nothing better could happen to the
young man who has the right kind of
grit than to be thrown on the world
and his own resources. A well-tO-do
judge once gave his son a thousand
dollars and told him to go to college
and graduate. The son returned at the
end of the first year, his money all
gone, and with several extravagant
habits. At the close of the vacation
the judge said to his son, "Well, Will
lam, are you going to college this
year," 81 have no money, father"
"But gave you thousand dollars to
graduate on cit is all gone, father"
Every we'll, my son; it is all l could
give you; you can't stay here; you
must now pay your own way in the
world" A new light broke upon the
vision of the young man. He accom-
mOdated himself to the situation, again
left home, made his way through col
lege, graduated at the head of his class,
studied law, became governor of the
state of New York, entered the cabinet
of the President of the United States,
and has made record that will not
soon die, for he was none other than
William H. Seward.

The police OF Chicago went into &C.
stacies last week over the capture OF
what they called notorious forger.
They told him his right name, re-
counted some of his misdeeds for his
own edification, and patted themselves
on the breast as they told the reporters
in glowing terms of the famous cap
ture. The papers came out with
poster headings giving additional Of
fice-spun details of the case. On Tues
day last the same papers had short
paragraph of nOnparei in all incon-
spicuous place stating that it was all a
mistake. "The man in question was
the son of wealthy Cincinnati fam
lily. His brother reached here Monday
and made settlement with the First
National Bank" This wound up the
entire affair. 1t appears that the
young man came to Chicago on spree,
ran short of ready cash, and then COL
lected four hundred dollars on a
spurious check. If he had not been
the son of wealthy parents the police
would have easily identified him as a
mythical A. R. Bennett they are now
in search of, although there is a small
discrepancy of twenty years in the
ages of the two men.

Any character may be rebuilt while
there is life in the body. 1t is absurd
to give up the battle because you have
made serious mistake. Too many
who have fallen are satisfied to live
the humdrum existence that surely
leads to worse failure, all because they
are too weak to bear the handicap i'm
posed by former folly. Get right down
in the harness and in time the people
who now give you the stony glare of
unspoken contempt will be looking for
favor from you.

speaking by invited guests, after which
the boys had the freedom of the CORR.
doris until the gong called them to the
midday meal. 1t was sort of fusion
holiday, for besides the natal day of
the distinguished George, it was Mardi
Gras, and the date of the union between
the Irish and Scandinavian races
through the alliance of Ignatius Don
nelly and his Norwegian bride. So
great blessings had been showered
upon our country in this one day, that
there was an outpouring of glad
ness which manifested itself in appar.
ent applause for the speakers, and the
chapel resounded with much merri-
ment the while. The advent of the
Lenten season on the morrow also
heightened the delights of the day, for
all were aware that for six weeks they
must renOunce the theatre and the
giddy social whirl to live in quiet
and secluded way. Thus Feb. %, was
a red letter day for all concerned, and
we shall go again as soon as our friends
return the call. We enjoyed the sing
ing greatly, for there are some superb
voices among the boys, and several
that can scale an octave higher than
the outer wall. During the intermis-
sion we were permitted to mingle with
the prisoners, and had the pleasure to
meet the editor OF THE MIRROR, who
was unavoidably absent from the re.
cent banquet at the West; the Younger
brothers who are cheerful still, and
several whom we had known before
they enlisted in the service. Among
those who made short talks to the boys
and enjoyed their hospitality were

warden of the Anamosa, Iowa, state
prison, made a tour of inspection of
this institution yesterday, accompanied
by Warden Wolfer. Warden Hunter
intends to apply the latest and best
information to the management of his

with that end in view. If he finds it
practicable, he also hopes to establish
weekly paper there soon, to be, like

the inmates.

Another unfortunate waif has left
this institution for the mysterious be-
yond where all beings are said to look
and be judged alike by an infalllble
Jurist not influenced by the social or
political prestige of the defendant, nor
hampered by reports of his previous
conviction. Henry Johnson, cOlored,
aged twenty three, sent here from
Ramsey county in March, 1894, to serve
an eight-year sentence, is the fortunate
or unfortunate victim. Born with the
seeds of consumption in his system his
only hope for cure was in leading a
careful life. Instead he early followed
the hard trOdden path of vice and
wound up in prison. He was in the
last stages of the dread disease al
though it was a hemorrhage of the
lungs that was the immediate cause of
death. Being without known friends
he was buried by the state after an i'm
pressive funeral service held in chapel
at noon on Tuesday, at which all the
inmates were present.

Many of the inmates are eagerly in
curing as to whether the Irvine shops
will run overtime this season. 1t is
not known to certainty as yet; the
matter depends principally on the crop
outlook and the amount of advance
orders received. The additions to the
plant put in since last season will
greatly increase the amount of Irvine
made daily, so that it is doubtful if
extra work at night will be necessary.
