LABOR TROUBLE AT MARINETTE.

Marinette, Wis, June 3.-The shin
gle weavers' strike has assumed
more serious aspect. Several of the
mills are running with non-union la
Dor. The union men lined up on
streets leading from these mills and
assaulted several of the non-union
men. Isadore Benoit, member of the
Sd Wisconsin regiment band, was in
jured and three or four others were
used roughly. The mill men have pc
titioned the prosecuting attorney and
the sheriff for protection. The strlk
ers say they will prevent the mills
from running with non-union labor.
The strikers have been out now nearly
a month.

CHAPTER XVII.

II Would Rather See My Son Dead"
The countess stood alone in the
drawing room. The sun was setting
over the trees in the park, and warm
glow filled the beautiful room with
rosy light--a light that fell on costly
pictures, on marble statues, on buhl
and jaspar, on silver and gold, on mir
rors and flowers, whose fragrance was
delicious even to breathe, but 1t fell
on my lady's proud face and figure as
though it liked best to linger there.
The dressing bell had not rung, and
she, waiting for 1t, had fallen into
reverie. She was sure she had done
right, yet, without doubt, the girl
would feel 1t keenly, What matter?
women must weep"-it was part of
their lives. Whoever paused or cared
for a woman's tears? Women had
wept before and would weep again.
She looked round on the superb home
where she reignd mistrss. and laughed
with scorn as she tried to picture the
farmers niece queen Of these ancient
walls.
Right? Most certainly she had done
right: let weak minds and weak hearts
think as they would. The golden sun
set, the rosy clou1s, the soft, sweet
song of the birds, the fragrance of the
thousand blooming flowers, the faint
whisper of the odorous wind appealed
to her in vain. What were bleeding

Yet she was but woman; and these

her quite unsoftened. She wondered
where Lance was. She remembered
him fair-haired, laughing, defiant
boy, playing there under the trees
where the red light fell, She started
suddenly wGen one of her well-trained
footmen opened the door, and said
lady wished to see her. The countess
looked at him in naughty vexation.

Features of the Bill.

The present state board consists Of
Judge w. S. Pryor who was for a
quarter Of a century an honored men,
Der of the appellate court; Captain w.
T. Ellis, formerly congressman from
the Second district, and Charles B.
Poyntz of Maysville, prominent bust
ness man, former state senator and
railroad commissioner. The honesty
and integrity of no one of these three
men have ever been impugned. They
are all above repTOaCh. The law gives
them the power to appoint each year
three election commissioners for each
county, who shall not be less than %
years old, who, before acting, shall be
sworn to faithfully discharge their
duties. The county board thus ap-
pointed, instead Of the county Judge,
appoints the precinct election officers,
and by express provision of the law,
the two judges are to be divided be-

ties, and the sheriff and the clerk like

AUTHOR AND MEASURE SLANDERED
Knaves and lgnoramuses Who Prefer
Lying to Telling the Truth En-
gagged In Nilifying the
Man who Stands For
( Peoples Rights.

Many persons who ought to know
better are attributing things to the
present election law of the state that
are entirely foreign to it. The cleo
ton law is being as much slandered
as the author of the chief amendment
TO it is. 1t is only fair to the law that
the people be made acquainted with
the changes made by the amendment
and be shown whether or not any can
didate or set of candidates can be
counted in" under it regardless Of
how the votes may have been cast.
Under the old law the county judges
were given the power to appoint the
precinct election officers. 1t frequently
happened that the county judge was
often a candidate for reelection. That
was the case in this county, in Fay
cite, in Jefferson, in Jessamine, in
Bourbon and doubtless many other
counties of the state in 1897. There was
something wrong with the system
that permitted a man, who was him
self a candidate to be voted for at an
election, to have the right to name all
of the officers who were to hold that
election. There were other features
of the old law which were either OBJ
dectionable or nagrantly violated in
1896 and 1897. The law said that so
long as there are two distinct political
parties in this commonwealth, the Of
ficers in all elections shall be divided
so as to give one Of the judges at each
precinct to one political party, the
other Judge to the opposing political
party, and a like difference made be-
tween the sheriff and the clerk. In
the presidential election in 1896, in
open violation Of this provision of the
law the officers of the election in
more than 40 Of the PRECINCTS in the
city of Louisville were divided between
&he Mckinley electors and the Palmer
and Buckner electors, and the Bryan
electors given not single officer. The
same thing was done in many of the
Republican counties Of the state. Such
abuse caused indignant Democrats to
demand some relief from the Demo
cratic legislature, which assembled in
January, 1898. Senator Goebel, in re-
Spouse to the demand, prepared the
amendment which was adopted by that
legislature. The amendment takes
away from the county judges the pow
er to appoint the officers of the cleo,
lions, and creates state board Of cleo
ton commissioners, consisting OF
three members, to be elected every
four years by the Legislature, not ap-
pointed by the governor, as many seem
10 think.

A SPORTING man is
NOT A SPORTSMAN.

Among many well-meaning and hon.
est-minded folk in the United States
the term sportsman" has long been
misunderstood and wrongly applied.
This has been due wholly to the fact
that they have unthinkfngly confound-
ed the term sporting man" with
sportsman" says the New York Com
mercial Advertiser. There are, per-
haps, no two terms applied to classes
that differ more widely in all essential
characteristics and inclinations. The
gambler, the pugilist, the cock and the
dog fighter-those who live by their
wits and the assistance of the faro Ia
Bile and roulette wheel, together with
the satellites who revolve about their
kind, are sporting men" The average
sporting man would have no little diff
ficulty in determining just which end
Of a gun to shoot from; the question OF
gauge or calibre would nonplus him
completely; schooners, sloops and cat
boats would be all of one class to him;
between the elk and moose there would
be, to him, no distinguishing features,
and the man who would sit all day in
a duck blind, or tramp the woodlands
or mountains for big game, would be,
in the estimation of the sporting man,
a most pronounced type of fool. Not
that he lacks intelligence; on the con-
trary, the average sporting man is
more than ordinarily bright and
shrewd; he must be so If he is to ex-
tract a living from his walk in life. He
does not understand these things sim
ply because they are not to his liking,
and because they do not interest him
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-12-05

any more than the study of Greek or
Latin would do.
The sportsman" is an entirely diff
ferent type. How greatly different
can, perhaps, be illustrated in no way
so we'll as to mention the names of a
dozen or more of the most prominent
sportsmen in this country and Eng
land. Among such is ex-President
Cleveland, and only the most important
affairs of state could prevent him
from enjoying the shooting trips, which
he never failed to plan annually dur
ing his occupancy of the White
House. William G. Whitney, Gov
Roosevelt, Pierre Lorillard, Seward
gan and George and Howard Gould are
others among the best known of Amer
lean sportsmen. Among English
sportsmen there are, perhaps, none
more enthusiastic than the Prince of
Wales, with Lord Beresford, the Duke
of Portland, the Duke of Beaufort and
a host of other prominent Englishmen
as proud of the distinction of being
sportsmen as is the prince himself. In
England, as indeed is the case the
world over, to be a sportsman is to be
a gentleman. One can be a gentleman,
it is true, without necessarily being a
sportsman, but none but a gentleman
can ever become a true sportsman. In
England the distinction is thoroughly
understood among all classes, and, as
a result of the growing tendency in
this country to participate in all forms
of healthy, recreative outdoor sports,
the terms "sportsmen' and Sports
women" will, in time, be- as widely and
faYorably accepted in America as in
Great Britain.
