EXTRA INDEP END EN- E.

The glorious Fourth is in sight, and
soon it will be in sound. On that grand
day let independence be our boast, and
if things work as they now seem likely
to let US add to the usual boast q word
or two in honor of our independence in
the matter of street sprinkling. The
indications are that we shall on July 2
be declared free and independent Of 1.-THE
contractor" and his aids. 1t has been a
long and curious struggle, and in the
course of it much water has been profit
ably shed. But freedom is at hand.
Soon the municipal watering pot will go
through the streets scattering water and
blessing literally and generally. 1t is
high time. We have been patient and
long suffering people, and many patient
and long suffering ones have died with
out the grateful sight which our pleased
and dustless eyes are soon to behold.

WHTSK ERS.

We read that trouble is threatened by
the German walters unions on the
whiskers question. They have address
ed a circular to the chief hotel keepers
at the beginning of the summer season,
Directing to the degrading demand that
walters shall be clean shaven. They
point out that the walters self-respect
is already hurt by his being constrained
to be polite to guests on account of the
tip system, and say that he should not
be Inundated still more by a senseless
custom.
The German walters are a good deal
more than half right, as usual. AL
though a somewhat coherent argument
can be made against whiskers on a
waiter, a wholly coherent argument can
be made in favor of whiskers on a
man, and surely a male waiter is man,
with all the rights thereunto appertan-
ing. And moreover, it can also be very
argued that when well
whiskered a waiter is qualified to dis
cuss educational matters when off duty.

months imprisonment upon any one
who, by the exercise of physical force,
by menaces or by attacks upon personal
honor endeavors to induce any one to-
participate in or to abstain from associ-
alton for the purpose of obtaining bet
ter conditions of work or wages. The
new bill gives a somewhat wider defini-
ton of the offense, and extends the PEN
atty to maximum term of one years
imprisonment, with the alternative,
where there are mitigating circum-
stances, of a maximum fine of 1000
marks ($250), The new clause applies
to undue pressure brought to bear upon
employers or employed to induce them
to withhold work from certain catego-
ries of workpeople. Professional strike
agitators are menaced with penalty of
three months Imprisonment Picketing
is expressly included in the definition of
physical force as applied for purposes
of intimidation. On the other hand, it
is left open to employers or employed to
agree among themselves whether they
will employ or work for certain catego-
ries of persons.

terfeiter, it was noted as a means of his
Identification that he was without
pock-holes." At the Institution of the
INDECENT Blind, two-thirds of the appli-
cants were made blind by the smallpox. y
1t attacked the high as well as the
humble. In the family of William III.
of England, his Queen, Mary his father,
his mother, his uncle, and two cousins,
children of James l., all died of the
smallpox, and the king himself barely
escaped with his life. During the eight
zenith century, one emperor and two en-
presses of Austria, six archdukes and
archduchesses, an elector of SaXony, an
eector of Bohemia a Dauphin and a
King of France, King of Sweden and
a Gear Of Russia, were all numbered
among its victims. So fearful were its
ravages that Bernouilli estimated that
sixty million persons died from small
pox in the century the close Of which
saw the foundation of this very faculty.
Well might Macaulay say: 1.-THE havoc
of the plague had been far more rapid,
but the plague visited our shores only
once or twice within living memory.
But the smallpox was always present,
filing the churchyard with corpees,
leaving on those whose lives 1t spared
the hideous traces of its power, turning
the babe into changing at which the
mother shuddered, and making the eyes
and cheeks of the betrothed maiden OBJ
jects of horror to her lover" 1t was
"the most terrible of all the ministers of
dea tn
But in 1896 arose the medical David
who was to smite this Goliath. From
that time till the present smallpox has
been shorn of all its terrors. Very re-
Gently, in Jenner's own country, at
tempts have been made to show that
vaccination was useless; that it drove
out of the system one vile disorder by
another that it dissemina
ted instead Of preventing disease Were
we to grant all that is falsely alleged as
to the Introduction of tuberculosis and
syphilis, even then the benefits it has
conferred would outnumber the evils ten
thousand fold, But as matter Of fact,
the cases in which evil results have fol-
lowed are few and far between and by
the use of animal virus instead of the
humanized and by the proper antiseptic
care in vaccination, which is really q
minor surgical operations all or these Ill
effects can be avoided,
A few statistics will show the benefits
vaccination has conferred In Sweden,
before vaccination, the deaths per mil
lion were 2045. Since compulsory vac
oination was introduced they have fall
len to 1856. In England during the eight
zenith century the average deaths per
million We're about two thousand Since
the epidemic Of 1S71'72 and the enforce
ment of the law for vaccination the
deaths have fallen to eight. In Prussia,
before compulsory vaccination, there
We're 300 deaths per million; in the last
ten years only seven. In Austria, with
out compulsory vaccination, in the last
ten years the average has been ASS
deaths per million. and in Belgium

1875 to 1884, there were AL deaths per
million In the Sheffield epidemic OF

IN INTER ESTING DECISION.

That is an interesting decision which
Commissioner Powderly has just made
under the contract labor law. Some
time since nineteen Croatians arrived at
Philadelphia who said that they were
on their way to the home of relatives
in South Chicago. A little later another
party of eight reached the same city
with the same story. The first arrivals
We're allowed to proceed to their des-
tination after they had declared that
they were not brought here under labor
contracts, but those who followed them
were subjected to q severer examination,
with the result that they were held for
deportation. 1t was discovered that the
much-sOught relatives consisted of a
single saloonkeeper, who was acting in
conjunction with the agent of a steam
ship company. The immigrants We're
brought over on the understanding that
they were to be furnished with work,
and there was division of profits be
tween saloonkeeper and agent. In the
opinion of Mr.. Powderly this was an in
traction of the law, though there was
no proof that the men had actually con-
tracted to work for any Individual or
corporation. AT most there was only

FASHION NOTES.
Distinctly summary Fancies

The look of softness and heecineses
that goes with some of this year 8 sum-
mer dresses is a matter calling for adroit
management. One secret, for instance,
of the soft look about lace gowns is
that under the loose lace skirt there is
a middle skirt of chiffon or lawn, under
which again is the silk skirt. This mid
die skirt is sometimes accordion pleated,
and sometimes 1ounces Of lace are re-
inforced on the under side by a flounce
of chiffon. Lace laid fiat on founda-
ton of chiffon, being attached by its
upper edge lightly to the chiffon, is ap-
piled on gown by fulling the edge of
the chiffon as it appears above the lace.
This saves the lace from injury and

SMALLPOX

In these days, a century after Edward
Jenner's memorable inocula ton of James
Phipps on May IA, 1896, we can hardly
appreciate what smallpox was. A few
facts, however, will show it's dreadful
ravages. Dinsdale, who went to st. Pc
tersburg to inoculate the Empress Cath
airline, says that two million people died
in a single year in the Russian empire
from smallpox. In 1907, in Iceland, out
of a population of fifty thousand, eight
cen thousand died, In Mexico, in the
sixteenth century, 100000 people died,
leaving in some places scarcely enough
alive to bury the dead. AT the end of
the eighteenth century Gilbert Blame es-
timated that an adult person who had
not had small pox was scarcely met with
or heard of in the United Kingdom"
When servants were advertised for, ID
was common to specify that they must
have had smallpox in the natural way"
In 1858, in an advertisement for a coun-

makes 1t hang to a deal better advan-
tage than as if it was itself flounced.
On some summer silks lace is used
without other purpose than to trim
that is, the appearance of cloud-like
softness is not sought after particularly.
What is especially striking about these
dresses is the amount of lace used. A
sample gown is shown 1t was lavender
and white India silk, the Spanish
tlounce and the bodice being covered
with white lace, which also furnished
unlined sleeves. The pleated yoke was
white silk null Though a dress thus
composed is remarkably fresh and pref
ty, some such treatment with narrow
black velvet ribbon as is indicated in the
picture is almost inevitable. Such en-
ployment of ribbon is fancy that will
soon pass, but just now it is very
stylish
Graduation dresses are trimmed with
white gauze ribbon drawn into dainty
frills. Others are dressed with great
bow knots of this same ribbon applied
fiat. Lovely effects for slender figures
are secured by polonaise use of delicate
all-over embroidery fitting the figure
princess from yoke to below the knees.
The skirt escaping there is billowy
dream of dainty lawn to match yoke
and sleeves. Such polonaises fasten at
the back and are very useful, because
for later summer wear they may be APP
piled over color.

When the pious father of the Hon.
James Jeffries heard that his efficient
son had given F'ltz fits he praised
the Lord and said that the
Lord was in the fight with Jim
and so of course Jim won. Jim
having thus been blessed by the Lord
it is the pous fathers hope and faith
that still greater blessing awaits his
beloved SON. He is now reported as
saying: TIN opposed to prize fighting.
I don't believe in it, but Jim will keep
it up until he gets thrashed. Then he'll
quit He'll keep it up long enough, but
he'll get licked But Jims good boy
He's no worse than the rest of you.
He'll keep up his devilment till he gets
licked, and then he'll quit, and he will
then find his way to the Lord. He is
making a ehort cut through the prize
ring to salvation"
Prize-fghting as means Of grace is
a little new, even for these days, but
there is no doubt that a good licking
will teach the California Cyclone some
thing, and it is possible that it may
lead him to the Lord. 1t is certain that
many of us do not seek the Lord until
we have been pretty thoroughly licked,
and when Jim gets the inevitable
Knockout perhaps Satan will be
knocked out of him too. We hope so.

DR.. e. Alder Blumer, Of the New
York State hospital for the insane, aims
at making his unfortunate charges
helpful, self-supporting factor of the
social system. Of his two years exper-
in1ent he says: So long as the family is
recognized as the unit of social life so
long must approximation to that ideal
be the goal to which we should strive
in our care Of the chronic insane. Per-
mission was obtained at Utica to lease
for three years q farm of 1850 acres. The
place had an old frame dwelling capa-
BILE, with repairs, of holding twenty
three male patients. But on the whole,
it was a sorry affair, though full of pos
eibilities. Here was taken at once, with
a godspeed from the state commission
In lunacy, our first step for the close
asylum to domestic freedom. The for
ner patients seemed to juggle with the
old place, so quickly did the results of
their steady labor appear. Roads were
approved, Boou 1ellceS were repldced
with bad ones, bitches dug, fields
ploughed and cultivated and. presto,
the whole farm smiled in, prosperity.
The cases were nearly all chronic, but
the Improvement that occurred in their
condition, physical and mental, exceed
ed the most sanguine expectation. BY
and by ample crops furnished undeni-
able proof of the experiment on the
economic side.
