Miss Ada Henry was, until few
days ago. leading lady in the Hot Old
Time Company. At Hibbing she had
a falling out with her manager and
left the troupe, but she says the man
ager refused to give her either her
hotel or her theater trunk. She Sc
cured both of them at St. Paul by
stratagem.
Miss Henry went down to the bag
gage room and picked her trunks out
from the company's baggage, smiled
sweetly on the employees and asked
them to call cab and have her trunks
sent to the hotel, as she had to get
one of her dresses in order to have it
mended in time for the opening per-
formance. The men, she says, did as
she asked, and when she reached the
room she took her clothes from the
trunks, filled them with brick and re-
turned them to the depot.
The Fish Hatchery.
Half dozen ideal sites in the beau
tiful Glenwood Park district, in Hen
nepin county, near Glenwood Springs,
will be offered to the state game and
fish commission for the fish hatchery
now located at Willow Brook, St. Paul.
The states lease of the present hatch
cry will expire in few months, and
Minneapolis is most anxious to secure
this valuable acquisition for her park
attractions. For two acres of land in
the Willow Brook hatchery the COM
mission is now paying a yearly rental
almost equal to the value of the prop
erty, and the commissioners have
been considering the advisability of
selecting another site for long time.
Labor Conditions Good.
At the monthly meeting Of the di-
rectors of the Associated Charities the
secretary reported 11S cases dealt
with during the month, and 149 visits
made. The cases were relieved through
twenty cooperating agencies. Work
in the employment bureau shows a
very marked decrease in comparison
with that of the corresponding month
last year. there being Ill odd jobs
given to men, against 27S the previous
year, and 3S6 to women, against 4S9.
1t was decided to start the penny saw

OURAGING.

Some people don't care as much about partisanship in municipal elections as others do. Rev. Dr. Norman Fox has just been elected mayor of Morristown, New Jersey He Is retired Baptist minister, has lived for good while in Morristown, where he has been pub lic-spirited citizen, serving efficiently for some time past as member of the Ex- else board. As he was starting for New York to attend the Ecumenical confer ence. week ago last Saturday he was called to the telephone and told that "the convention" was to meet in half an hour, and wished to nominate him for mayor He asked what conven- tion, and was informed that it was the Republican. He told his interlocutor that he was not Republican, but was assured that this made no difference, that the party managers asked no pledges, and would be satisfied if he would give the city an administration that would please good men of all par ties. Dr. Fox came on to the confer ence, and stayed in New York nearly all of last week. and made no canvass, in the ordinary sense of the term, after his return.
 It will not be safe to expect many such incidents as this. but even one is encouraging.

not allowed to furnish the government engineers in charge of this district with an opportunity every month to formally report "the obstruction to navigation by Kimberly avenue bridge in New Haven harbor still continues to exist"
 Must the opening of this valuable part of the navigable waters of the United States wait for more hearings, more dis putes, more inspections and more money wasted in useless repairs, or will the Secretary of War in this (we hope) last inspection decide that every person and every corporation has had his and it's full and adequate day in court that this bridge has been recommended by every engineer or other government officer who has seen the location, and that public respect for law and equity as well as the unquestioned rights of the people unite in requiring that this bridge be built at once?

To the Editor of the Journal and Courler: l Was there ever so much fuss and
 feather over so small a matter as the
 interminable hearings and rehearings
 and rehearings, orders and orders and

 drawbridge? Was ever the commercial | interest of city so smothered and
 browbeaten and belittled as in this mat

 been gone over before the ablest repre-

 merable witnesses; twice has the whole
 matter been threshed over before the l General Assembly of the State, and the issue every time has been the same
 the Kimberly avenue bridge is an ob- struction to navigation, and such an ob- struction as the law says shall not exist. All the able lawyers opposing 1t have been one by one beaten fairly in the open; politicians in and out of congress
 have been found sometimes in favor of the bridge, sometimes on the fence and sometimes against the bridge. The Winehester Avenue railway has weared government officials and every one else with It's awful pictures of disasters to
 the dear public, beside which the horri-
 ble disasters which have never befallen
 any street railway crossing any bridge

 the Consolidated road has depicted

Why not con- fine every new business to rail trans portation alone? No vote of any mu- nicipal corporation was ever passed against the drawbridge. The legisla- ture three years ago authorized an issue of bonds for the very purpose of build ing this bridge as draw. The Cham Der of Commerce of New Haven has en- dorsed it unanimously.

Many of the people of New Haven will be out to see the circus parade this forenoon If the weather IS suitable. Would it not be good plan to gladden. their eyes with a sight of the watering carts that the city of New Haven has on hand, but is not using? The carts could be strung along at the end of the circus parade, and they would be an impress sive feature of the show. There will be twenty-five elephants in the circus, and there are, we believe twenty-two wa tering carts that are idle. They would be worth seeing as an illustration of how not to do it, and we hope they will appear.

THE CHINA COTTON MILL SCARE.

l Those who have been scared by the
 report that cotton mills were being mul- l tiplied in China, and that, being operat- ed wholly by Chinese labor at very low wages, they might become dangerous competitors of the American mills, can feel better. Consul General Goodnow, at | tigation of the matter. The scare all luded to grew out of a cotton mill at
 Hankau, in which, it is alleged, only Chinese labor is employed at wages averaging $1.75 per month. The mill
 has S4000 spindles and TOO looms, and
 makes good yarn. Other mills, it is
 said are located in Shanghai. The real
 facts about cotton manufactures in
 China are these: The mill at Hankau
 has discontinued weaving cloth, as it
 could not meet the competition of for
 egn piece goods. The looms are being
 taken out and are being replaced by
 spindles. In Shanghai there are 750
 looms running. It Is claimed that these are now (but only very recently mak-
 ing coarse sheeting at a profit. The
 cost of making this sheeting Is fully as
 much as the manufacture of the same grade of cloth costs in America. Instead
 of wages averaging $l.75 per month, the cheapest coolie laborer receives $6 Mex ican (sS geld) per month; carders and spinners receive s25 to $50 Mexican ($12 to Sl5 gold) per month; engineers and weaveIs receive s2O to $60 Mexican (sl0 to $30 gold) per month. Wages have ris- en very fast in the treaty ports, with the building of the mills and the estah- lishment of the foreign businesses, and are maintained al the higher level The labor, however, is less effective than the American labor.

accomplshes two or three times, ard American spnners at least four times, the results attained by corresponding Chinese workmen in the same time.
 Mr. Goodnow also says that the cotton cloths dominating the northern and central China markets are American made, and that these markets can be controlled by American manufacturers so long as they have equal rights With the other manufacturers in Chinese ports. He lays great stress upon the importance of constructing the Nicara- qua canal.

SOME FIGURING.

Congressman Grosvenor of Ohio did
 such fine figuring in the presidential campaign of 1s96 that his figuring now
 Is interesting. He now claims only 260
 votes for Mckinley. conceding 174 to
 Bryan, and calling Delaware, with
 three, and Kansas, with ten votes,
 doubtful. His prediction reduces the
 majority that Mckinley received in 1896.
 This prediction, which will seem very reasonable to many, has had curious effect on the New York World, The World fears that Grosvenor is trying to fool the trusting Democrats. It shows that Kansas has been carried by the Republicans each time during the last six years by safe majorities and that Maryland has gone Republican since 1896, save last year, when the Democrats nominated gold can- didate for governor With Bryan as the candidate and silver the issue. the result would probably be Re- publican success Continuing, The World says: Thie Republican congress- man is an astute politician. It would almost seem as though he reduced his claim to minimum for the purpose of encouraging the friends of Mir Bryan to "go the limit of heedlessness at Kansas City in burst of overconfi- dence. For, in spite of General Gros- venor's moderation there is not an h. telligent and candid man in either party who does not know that the Democratic chances of success-not too brilliant in any event, with general prosperity pre- vailing and war still progressing to aid the party in power-will be greatly promoted by moderate, modified liv- ing platform.
