OTHELLO UP TO DATE.
Negro and 1G-Year-OId White Girl of
Calumet Arrested Here

A little 1G-year old white girl in love
and fascinated with Il negro rousta-
bout is the situation between Agnes
Kraemer of Calumet, Mich, and Will
lam Ham, a a0-ycar-old negro. They
were married Tuesday by lteV. d. +.
Poster, nf ST. Marks African Methodist
church, on a license issued in Superior
the same day. AS WiSconsin's mar
riage law calls for the elapse Of five
days between the issuance Of a license
and the marriage, it is said Mr.. Poster
is liable to find himself in trouble, for
ic says he married the pair in Supe
rior. Yesterday afternoon the newly
married couple We're arrested by De-
tectiVc Donovan, on a telegram from
the chief Of police at Calumet. The
girls father is in q Milwaukee, hospi-
tai at present. His home is at Calu-
met, however, where he is rlachinlSt.
The girl, who was employed as do
mestic in Calumet first met Ham last
spring, and it is said Immediately fell
in love with him. Ham was working
on the sewers at that time, but after
wards got a job cementing cellars. 1t
is reported that they eloped two weeks
where they lived together a week and
then came here, where, it is said. they
have been ever since, living as man and
wife.
The girl denies this, and says that
she left home Tuesday of last week,
arriving at Houghton that night. The
next morning she was Joined by the
negro, and they Immediately left for
Duluth, where they have been ever
since. She insists that they have not
lived together as man and Mvife, nor
that there has been and undue inti
macy. She says that the negro has
treated her kindly and that she will
stand by him. She is emphatic in say
ing that she will not stay home, and
announces her determination to rejoin
her lover just as soon as possible. The
young woman seems to be of average
intelligence and her strange fascination
seems unaccOuntable.
When the negro procured the license
he said that the girl was 10 years Of
age, instead of 16, but he claims that
that is what she had told him.
The couple will be heldsuntil some
thing definite is heard from the Mich
igan authorities. The girl will be TAX
ell to her home.

TRADES ASSEMBLY MEETS.

Union Delegates.

The trades assembly held a regular
meeting last evening. A communica-
ton was received from the American
Federation Of Labor announcing that
the annual convention Of that body will
be held in Detroit Dec. II. The as
sembly WAS urged to take early action
in the matter Of sending word regard
ing delegates.
The newly elected treasurer of the
trades assembly, Edward l<riz, was in
stalled.
The rather limited attendance Of del
egates suggested to some Of the dele
gates to inquire the reason why more
We're not present. Delegate Pierce said
that he believed many were very busy
ana working overtime. Mr.. Kriz said
that many of the unions carried on
the books had ceased to exist. A mo-
ton was carried that the secretary
communicate with unions that had
been notified that they are in arrears
to the assembly, and which have paid
no attention, and if they do not re-
SpOnd in four Weeks to have such or
ganizations cut off the assembly rolls.
A committee was appointed to investi-
gate the unions that are not being
heard from by letter or by delegates.
The following was received from the
retail clerks union but no action was
taken:
In view of the fact that Sunday lab
or is spreading from day to day and
that the laboring classes are too often
compelled to labor on the day of rest,
when there is no necessity to do So,
thereby crushing our principles as a
local. Therefore, be it
Resolved, that we as retail clerks,
protest against the unWise action TAX
en- by the trades assembly in with
drawing from the Sunday closing COM
mittee, as we are positive that some
good can be accomplished by united
efforts in this direction, and we further
request, through our delegates, that
their action be reconsidered and the
assembly again regenerate their forces
and at least see if some good may not
come forth.

for trial or judgment. 1t is in the rear
of the palace and hangs over the dark
waters of the narrow canal
The poetic sentiment attached to the
bridge, which gave it the famous name
it still bears, arose from the belief
that many a political prisoner. innocent
of wrOngdoing, was led over this span
and down into the dungeons below,
whence there was no escape. So damp
and foul are these cells that they are
called wells" Travellers in search OF
the hideous always visit them. Their
gloom and horror have been painted in
words in Dickens Pictures from
Italy"
Standing on the Bridge OF Signs
Byron wrote his splendid poem on the
rise and fall of Venice.
Some question has been raised as to
the stability of the foundations of this
bridge. 1t is known of course, that the
mediaeyal architects Of Northern Italy
were men of extraordinary ability; but
their skill exhibited itself more in the
artistic than in the engineering side
of their profession.
In the latter branch they may almost
be looked upon as experimentalists,
and in view of the nature Of the soil
Of Venice. the wonder is that their
structures have lasted five or six hun
dred years. especially when il is re-
membered that they did not scruple to
add great weight in the way OF super
structures to buildings which had been
erected for centuries without strength
ening the foundations.

FUNERAL OF Mr.. SCHNITGER
Further Details of His sad Death IN
Oklahoma.


Oklahoma.
The funeral of Henry Schnitger,
former general superintendent of the
Tri-City Railway company, was held
IN Davenport yesterday afternoon.
The remains were unaccompanied
from Oklahoma, where Mr.. Schnit-
ger died. Mrs. Schnitger would have
come. but the sickness OF one of the
children at the home in Laramie pre-
vented her. But the friends
of Henry Schnitger in the old
days when he was popular
and, indeed, n favOrite citizen, did all
that could he done to place upon his
bier and his grave the last offerings
of respect and affection of which hui
man hands are capable. The funeral
service was conducted by Rev. c. II.
Weaver, and was held at the grave, in
Oakdale cemetery, where his remains
were laid to rest by the side of his
little boy, whose death, several years
ago, was so painful a shock to
him. The pallbearers were Joe l..
Hebert, c. +. Darling, Charles
Haskins, Ed fischer, l.. NJ. Fisher
and Dan a. McGugin. He was
attended to his grave by many old
friends, whose sorrow was deep at his
untimely end. 1t is learned, in q
meager way, that Mr.. Schnitger's
death was finally due to commissions.
which were the result of a spinal
trouble, with which he was afflicted.
He must have had the illness for sew
eral weeks. He had been i'll in Okla
homa for at least two weeks, and after
that, week ago, the word came that
he was better, but that he had been
quite i'll. 1t is inferred that there
must have been a relapse of his former
serious condition. There is profound
sympathy for his wife and children,
to whom he was deeply attach ed, and
from whom he was separated for
full year prior to his death, and dur
ing his last illness and his last hours.

ALTHOUGH the New York World is a
goldite journal and does not advocate
Mr.. Bryan's nomination for president
by the democrats, it recognizes his
great ability and his eminent fitness
as leader. In its issue of Monday
the World says editorially: Mr..
Bryan's second speech on trusts,
made at the Chicago conference
Saturday afternoon in reply 10 Mr..
Cochran and to Mr.. Fou ke, dis
played even more fully than mis- set
speech in the morning his unequalled
capacity for popular leadership in the
movement against monopoly. Mr..
Bryan's advantage lies in this: He
believes that there are monOpolies;
that they are evils; that they can be
remedied- he has remedies to
propose. For the people, who see the
power of trusts and feel their oppres-
sion. this is what appeals to them
rather than weighing of compensa-
tions. hairsplitting over difficulties
and doubts whether anything can be
done. Mr.. Bryan says: If the peo-
Pile are in earnest they can break up
monopoly And the way to show
that they are in earnest, as the World
has frequently said, is To elect law
makers, law officers and executives
whs are in earnest too"
