It is customary to catch the freaks
of human nature and place them on
exhibition for the edifcation of the
human freaks that make up the
world. Lately, at Conry Islands a
''wild girl from Cuba has been on
exhibition, which, upon investigation,
was found to be a plain American
idiot, which was without a single
spark of reasoning ability. For com
mercial purposes, however, it was good
to make money with, and it was,
therefore, placed in an iron cage and
continually prodded with a sharp iron
to give it the necessary degree oi
.wildness." And thousands Of pre-
sumably intelligent citizens paid a
dime to see this brutal and disgust
ing exhibition and left the helpless
and senseless idiot to it's fate. But it
furnishes an incentive to make mon
ey, which, after all, is the only thing
ii, the world worth doing. Warm
civilization! Only anarchists want il
changed.

Nearly every city in the United
States that enjoys street car service
has experienced strike on the street
car system in the past two or three
wears. In all evil some good exists is
comforting to think or and out OF
these terrible conflicts between labor
and private property municipal own
ership is sure to come. Even the dull
csaa man will reflect that it is a stupid
thing to :. give away the public
streets and then have the ,pri-
waite owners stop all traffic be-
cause their men will not work for
inadequate wages. Everybody knows
that if the cities owned lie street car
lines, as they should, service would be
better. Fares would he cheaper:
Workmen would be better n paid
Strikes would be unknown, and SER
vice regular, without delay to travel
or interruption of business; Burt these
strikes make people think and breed
many an advocate of municipal own
ership. The events of each succeed
ing year teach this lesson swith ever
increasing force. A street car line. is
pre- eminently PUBLIC utility and
should he run in such as manner as to
serve the public in the greatest de
gree. The question of municipal own
ership of street railroads is one which
will grow more and more Important as
such lines increase. This increase is
already going on at a very rapid rate
and it is difficult, with the tendency
of modern times to combination and
consolidation, to tell where it will AL
end unless steps are soon taken fol-
city ownership. The great power OF
the corporations today makes them
hardly amenable to the law, and their
open violation of the statutes makes
laughing stock of lawmakers.

It Is an annual eel ebration of victories by the Spanish over the Indians, in which the Virgin Mary guided the Spanish to victory. They shoulders of four ''old' virgins dressed in white, and carry her over to the cem etery, mile away, and leave her there, bringing her back the next Sunday. There were 2,000 or 5000 persons in the parade, two brass bands, monks and brothers singing hymns, and the priests repeating Latin. They had large mum. Der of banners and there were lots of little black Mexican girls dressed in white, with heavy flowing veils. The old women had their heads covered with large black cashmere shawls with long silk lace on them. Then came lot of
 
 and caps, no two alike, with white sur- plices and bright red and purple sklrte Several boys and priests burned incense all the way and large number of boys with baskets of white, purple and yellow flowers, strewed them the whole dis tance. There were several blocks where they had set out cedar branches few feet apart and the procession passed be- tween these. Most of the houses along the line of march were lavishly covered and decorated with trinkets, lacee, paint ings, pictures, greens. flowers, etc. The procession stopped at one place and elab- crate Latin exercises were held and every one along the line of march knelt on the ground. This was quite impress i've. There were the lame, the halt, the bllnd and some very curious looking cos. tunes az we'll as creatures. There were women in the center of the procession who were repeating Latin sentences and holding strings of beads. They also pray for rain and expect it before they bring the Virgin back again. Sometimes the wicked go over and stone the virgin if no rain comes within the week. The virgin was dressed in light blue silk and on her head was golden crown. In her hand she carried bright flowers. It was different from anything I had ever wit messed. ."-rSan Diego Union.
