TATTUOED GIRLS.

NO need to 90 to the dime mu.

days to see the tatooed girls" said
man, as related in the New York Sun.
All the summer resorts, but particl.
larly the seaside resorts, teen with

arms and shoulders displayed by the
girls at the Hotel Mosquito.by.tIle.

criss.crOssed and speckled, for all the
world like a war map or a guide to a
golf link, at least.
1t was what you might call check.
cred career laid bare by those decOl.
lete bOdices.
My sister says it isn't tattooing at
all, but sunburn, and she also says
that it's all due to what she calls the
diaphanous shirtwaist.
/ think | know the kind Of shirt
waist she meaus-that very thln,
fluffy sort, you know, that Is patterned
In plaids or dots or stripes bit thick
er than the goods itself, and sup
pose that the girl wearing it Is burned
according to the pattern. Anyway 10
the masculine eye it looks just ike
tattooing.
I've paid to look at many q aIme
museum freak who couldn't hola
candle to some OF the tattooed girls 10
be seen for nothing at any summer IT,
sort just now. The only thing ever
heard of to equal 1t Is a fellow Enew

Abdul Hamid, sultan of Turkey, who
has been keeping all Europe on the
anxious seat for many years, whose
soldiers have butchered Armenians at
will and who at this time owes the
United States a considerable sum Of
money which he has studiously refused
to pay, is the same Abdul Hamid
whose silver jubilee was recently cele-
brated with great eclat in Constantine
pie. The nations sent him profuse let
ters Of congratulation. Emperor Will
liam of Germany wrote him most
touching message, and Great Britain
Illuminated her fleet in the Mediterra-
mean in his honor. In Washington
Turks and Americans sat down to a
gorgeous anniversary dinner at the
Turkish legatic,. where the health and
long life of his sultanic majesty were
proposed in many flowing bumpers.

EDITOR UNION:-As the subject of
education is of interest to the people
in general and of vital interest when
the welfare of the children is taken
into consideration, I have prepared a
statement of facts and figures shown
by my report for the year 1900 to the
Department Of Public Instruction, with
some comparisons with preceding
years. If this statement is studied
carefully it will convey some surpris-
ing information to the patrons of our
public schools. It shows that with a
large amount Of money invested in
school property, and many thousands
of dollars expended each year for
teachers wages, at least one-third of
the time for which these teachers are
paid is totally lost. The figures
which follow show, among other
things, the average number of days
each pupil has attended and the whole
number of days of school during the
school year ending July 81, 1900:

Of Princeton and find as follows: First,
it is not a fit place to keep any human
being in. We find it in very filthy
conditions; we find three men confined
in an iron cage only five feet wide by
eight feet long by seven feet high,
with two narrow beds in it in a dirty
condition, with no room for chairs and
no chance for them to sleep, only by
changing off during sleeping hours.
And we recommend that the county
commissioners of said Mile Laos
county provide a suitable place in
which to confine prisoners and to fur
nish it in such manner as would be
suitable for the detention of said pris-
oners.n
The forgers, Robinson and Hubbard
were brought into court again yester-
day and changed their pleas to guilty
and were sentenced to the State re-
formatory at St. Cloud.
The case of Rottier against the in
surance company came up again yes
terday afternoon and the company at
tempted to have it thrown out on the
ground that the statutory two years
had expired. Judge Baxter held that
as the plaintiff could not bring suit
against the company until sixty days
after the loss the two years began at
that time and had not expired.
The case of Greenless VS.. Rines G.
Co. was given to the jury yesterday af-
ternoon and they found verdict in
favor of Greenless for the sum of $780,
Judge Baxter is hustling the cases
as fast as he can and in this he is ably
assisted by Clerk Briggs, than whom
there is no better clerk of court in the
State. Every case is filed in proper
condition and there is no delay occa-
stoned by anything which depends
upon his Office.
