Hugh Saxon, recently discharged proof
| reader of the Government Printing Office,
undertook novel scheme yesterday to
boom o. G. Stacey, printer candidate
for delegate to the International Typo
graphical Union convention, which meets
at Detroit, Mich, in June next
He rented street piano from an Italian,
also hired the services of the latter's wife,
VINO accompanied him under the print
ing Office windows and looked pathetic
while Mr.. Stacey ground out. Il Want
You, Ma Honey, Yes, | Do" and various
other airs, and Saxon, using Dago dia-
lect, passed his hat and caught the money
which was showered upon him, dancing
! incidentally with the grace Of ballet
master
On the piano was a large placard, which
read, Vote for Stacey" the same at
tracing the notice of every printer in the
building; and, there being several candi-
dates for the honor that Mr.. Stacey seeks,
the fight is as earnest as a genuine
: political contest.
The female employees of the bindery,
knowing that Saxon had recently been dis
charged, grew sympathetic, and having
Just received their wages, did not hesitate
to throw great deal of money TO him,
which he accepted with a grimace and
bow characteristic of the Italian piano
man.
The street soon grew crowded and the
police prevailed on the musicians to go
in the alley alongside the building, where,
under the Public Printers window, the
piano played "Goodby, Sweetheart, Good
by, and great deal of money was taken
in.
Saxon is a man of schemes. He visited
negro camp p-meeting in Georgia last
summer, and with the aid of a straight
haired negro as an example sold hundreds
OF small bottles of alcohol to the campers
as DIR. Saxon's hair lotion, a preparation
TO remove the kinks from the hair of
colored people,
About $50 was contributed to Saxon at
the Printing Office yesterday

Two New Smallpox Cases and Three
spotted Fever Deaths

Two New smallpox Gases ana Three
spotted Fever Deaths.
Yesterday was a busy day for the health
officials. Four smallpox patients were re-
leased from the Isolating Hospital, two
new cases of smallpox were discovered in
widely separated parts of the. city. and
three deaths from cerebro-spinal menin-
gifts, or spotted fever, were reported The
persons released from the hospital were:

who lived in Stevens Alley, Anacostia and
was removed to the smallpox hospital
April Z; John Anderson, colored, twenty
years old, who lived at 237 + Street south
west, removed to the hospital March 26;
Charles Allen, colored, twenty years old
who lived at 237 + Street southwest. re-
moved to the hospital April l.; William
Walker, colored, twenty-five years old, who
lived at 2 Logan's Court northwest, re-
moved to the hospital April 8.
One new case was discovered early in
the day at the detention camp. Mamie
Coleman, colorcd, was the victim, and she
was Immediately removed to the small
pox hospital. She was one of a number
of persons who were removed some time
ago from the infected premises at 1928
Third Street southwest, and who was be-
ing detained as a suspect. The other in
mates of the house in Third Street were
declared 10 be out of danger and were
recently released. The Coleman girl was
the only member of the family detained.
The second case of smallpox discovered
during the day was that Of Charles A.

He was removed to the smallpox hospital,
increasing the number at that institution
to twenty-six.
Three deaths from cerebro-spinal menin-
gifts were reported to the Health Office,
increasing the total number of fatalities to
ffty-seven within seven weeks. The NAL

alarming tenacity, and has baffied every
attempt OF the medical profession to cope
with it.

Mir Thomas Mahoney, of the Ar kansas & Texas mining company, was in Mena two days ago, on his return from Carterville, Mo-, where he had purchased hundred ton crusher and roller from the factory at that place, and to friends showed receipts indi- eating that it was to be shipped at once. He also had blue print plans containing full directions etc. for placing the plant in position.
 MT. Mahoney also showed bills for an electric plant to use in connection with the Cyanide process, also ordered. in gathering the metals.
 This plant is to be put in at the com panys mines on Brushy creek, eight miles from Mena. They have shaft sixty five feet with a cross cut, forty feet long and several hundred tons Of ore bearing rock on the dump ready for the plant to be set to work on. This begins to look like business.

The value of these plants now is reported to be S20, ,000, ,000, but the new corporation proposes to capitalize at S65, 100000, and of course expenses (wages) must be reduced and prices raised to en- able the institution to pay diyi- dends on that amount. As this trust cannot legally operate or sell goods Tn this sate, it would appear that this would be an opportune time for local factories to start and begin the manufacture of blows for home use.

on this subject that ''It is some times supposed that, while the sa- loon question is a moral question, the question of the success of such an attempt as that which was made by the street car companies of Chicago (to steal valuable fran chiscs) is only financial question; and that moral questions ought to outrank the financial questions. There arc no moral questions more vital than those which are raised in our cities by the bold, and gen erally successful, attempt to rob the people through the acquisition of public utilities"
 When public utilities are owned and operated by the municipalities the pernicious principle of indi- vidual profit making is largely eliminated, and we arc not sure but that the idea of municipal sa- looms, as recently suggested by some writer, would help solve the liquor question, by removing the profits, or money making feature, from the business. One thing is very sure, and that is, were it not for the profits of the business many men now engaged in it would quickly give it up, and none would violate tho laws by keeping open on Sundays.
