So easy Is 1t for the sharks to rob the
very Jurors of the Cook County courts
of their per diem,
That they believe they can wipe up
the earth with the United States of
America.
The United States has National
bankruptcy law, passed for the pur-
pose of relieving the Overburdened.
Among the overburdened were sew
eral members OF the Chicago police
force, who were forced to borrow
money from sharks, ana who had long
since paid the principal on their debts.
But these poor men, like many others
who were grasped by the tentacles of
the dcvilGsh, were so deeply In debt
to the sharks for interest owed on in
tcrest at the rate OF 10 per cent. a
month shat the only way they could
free tls..,selves from the octopus was
by taking advantage Of the Federal
bankruptcy act.
They took advantage of this act, had
an open hearing in the United States
Court and We're duly freed from their
debts.
The sharks ut once had them arrest
ed in defiance of the Federal law, not
in one justice court, but in three, and
openly announced their intention of
prosecuting these poor men until they
gave up the money which they do not
owe.
This prosecution still continues.
4 more brazen violation of the bank
ruptcy law,
A more outspoken contempt for Fed
eral authority and especially for Fed
eral courts, could not be found any
where.
The United States District Attorney
should have these sharks railroaded to
the penitentary without further delay.
And every justice and constable who
aids or abets them should be jailed
for contempt at once.

For Campaign Purposes,

1t was with refreshing candor that
Col. Nicholas n. Cox, one of the most
prominent Democratic members of the
House Military Affairs Committee in
vestigating the COuer d'Alene mining
troubles, admitted that the investiga-
ton was gotten up for Democratic cam
paign purposes. The Colonel did not
express himself in exactly those words,
but in an exchange of views previous
to the assembling of the committee, he
suggested:
''Why not adjourn this meeting until
the next session Of Congress? After
the campaign is over We'll have no use
for the investigation" The purpose Of
Mr.. Lcntz's resolution providing for the
investigation was not that he cared so
much to relieve the critical situation in
Shoshone County, but that he hoped to
fabricate some hostility to organized la
Dor on the part of the Republican party,
and thus afford Democracy new ma
teriai with which to fight in the coming
campaign.
DR.. France concluded his testimony
by fatty and plainly contradicting, par
agraph by paragraph, every charge and
accusation made against the United
States troops and the local authorities
that was contained in the resolution of
Representative Lentz, upon which the
House of Representative ordered the
inquiry.

LARGE SEINE CAPTURED
Over Is, 900 Pounds Of Fish Pulled
Out Of One Wisconsin
Lake.

GAINESVILLE, Wis. May 3.-[Special.l J.
Special Deputy State Game Warden L.
ID. Fisher of Brodhead arrived in the
city from Prairie du Chen today where
he made the capture of fish seine 1000
feet in length and Is feet in depth. The
seine was valued at $3.50. Complaint
has been made to the state game author
tiles at Madison that two parties were
seining the Mississippi river near Prairie
du Chen and that they were catching
fish in thousand pound hauls. Deputy
Fisher FASTENED to the scene and as he
approached the river bank the guilty
parties were just about to haul in the
mammoth seine with the aid of a team
of horses. The guilty fishermen at once
jumped into a boat and rowing to the
Iowa state side made good their escape.
Warrants are now out for their arrest.
The net was sent to Madison and
burned. 1t is said that these same par
ties pulled out of one Wisconsin lake
$4,000 pounds of fish and then made
their escape.

Free Trade Trusts.

United States Consul Halstead, who
is at Birmingham, calls the attention or
the State Department at Washington to
the fact that the constantly recurring
announcements that another trust
has been formed does not create alarm
in Great Britain. The London Mail re-
fers to the formation af bleaching
trust witha capitalization of $50,O00,OO0
or 100000. This, in the judgment
Of the managing editor, is worthy of
only one headline, twenty-tw two lines Of
nonpareil sype, set solid, so common
has the formation of trusts in England
become The Daily Mail article reads
as follows:
''The Lancashire bleaching trade will
shortly be in the hands of a powerful

1T is said that the combination will
involve the capitalization of from f1O,-
100000 to g12,OOOOOO ($4S,665,00O to

CHINESE VASES SEIZED.
Frenchman Tried Unnecessarily to
Evade the Customs Law.

New York, May 5-Two Chinese
vases worth $4,000, were seized by the
customs officers on the French line pier
for alleged evasion of the customs law.
The vases were the property of NJ. de
Malherbe, Partisan dealer. The vases
are superb specimens of the work of an
ancient dynasty. The authorities learned
in some manner of the importation of
the vases into the city from China via
Vancouver and Quebec and located them
at storage warehouse. M. de NAL
herbe exhibited them at that place to
several collectors. it is said, and asked
$4,000 for the pair. The vases were
removed few days ago. An inspector
learned that M. de Malherbe had Sc
cured passage Oh La Bretagne, which
sailed yesterday, intending to go with
his vases to France. They were seized
just before the ship sailed. M. de NAL

CITY In FESTAL GARB.
Visit of the Emperor Of Austria to
Berlin is Appropriately
Celebrated.

Berlin, May 4.-Emperor Francis Jo-
seph of Austria has appointed Emperor
William field marshal general of the
Austrian army.
The standard of the Emperor of Aus
tria waves from the royal palace in Ber-
lin this afternoon, signifyings that the
ruler of the dual monarchy has taken up
residence there. &s
Emperor Francis Joseph reached Pots
dam station punctually at 10 a. m. His
majesty's reception was strictly accord
ing to programme. The weather was
ideally spring-like. The whole city was
in festal garb, the verdure of the trees
and shrubs contrasting gratefully with
the vivid colors of the flags, bunting and
garlands strung from pillar to pillar.
The climax of decorative art was nat
urally reached on the route from the
depot through Bellevuestrasse, where
Kuenstlerheim showed a splendid colos-
sal bust, thence to the SeegeS- Alice,
which evoked the keen interest of the
Austrian Emperor, who closely ques-
toned Emperor William, who was sit
ting by his side, regarding the points of
interest; thence to the Brandenburg gate
and the Pariser-PlatZ, just behind where
with green background, enlivened with
gilt laurel leaves and heavy gold cords
and taSselS, formed the center of attrac-
ton. The arch was thanked on both sides
by towers bearing large, living laurel
trees. The center of the arch was sur
mounted by handsome draped pavilion,
in which was Il band in medieval cos
tunes. which sounded inspiring fanfares
on long silver trumpetS as the Emperors
approached, and which played the Aus
TRAN national hymn as they proceeded
EDWARDS.
The square fronting the arch, where
the welcoming ceremonies took place, was
thanked by two grandStands filled with
women in the gayest spring costumes, the
space between the grandsrands being &C.
cupied by the municipal authorities and
other officials. Behind the stands rose
double rows of obelisks, respectively 80
and 80 feet high, crowned with masses
of choice flowers.
The Brandenburg gate, standing in
massive grandeur was richly decorated
and presented magnificent spectacle.
The houses fronting the platz were
thrOnged with spectators, many of them
being armed with kodaks. The route,
especially Inter den Linden, was crowd
ed from daybreak with eager and most
good-natured sightseers. There were no
disturbances, the police arrangements
being comprehensive in enforcing order
and preventing dangerous crowding.
Spectators arriving after s were ex-
cluded from the route, which was doubly
flanked from the sieges-alle to the Bran
cent urg gate by the Berlin Veterans
( association, many of the gray-bearded
men wearing the iron cross. The route

Admissions from a Democrat.

The other day, says the Louisville
Commercial, Eli Perkins was intro
duced to Judge Scott, an old dyed-in-
the-wool Kentucky Democrat. The
judge is well known in the Blue Grass
region and the grand old Kentuckian
has always been looked up to as High
Priest of ''befo' the wah Democracy"
Perkins was introduced by an old
Democrat, and Judge Scott supposed
that Eli was q Democrat, too, and he
became confidential with him at once.
''How are we Democrats getting
along, Judge?" asked Eli, in confiden-
tial tone.
The Judge looked at Eli moment to
see If he really wanted information
about the party, and slowly remarked
well, sir, we are getting on very
well financially, but politically VIC are
running behind. Yes, I'm afraid we are
running behind"
'What causes this?" asked Eli.
'Well, SIR" said the Judge, sadly. 81

things"
Where have we erred, Judge?"

NIT it among ourselves. You see," said

wool, and a big price for hemp and to-
bacco before Grover came in, but that
Wilson bill hurt us. 1t knocked wool
down to u cents. Free jute, put III to
help the cotton fellows, ruined our
hemp and it rotted in the ground Then
we lowered the tariff on tobacco and our
tobacco went down on us. We didn't
complain, but we Democrats did a good

lower and lower, and when Grover

asked Eli.

sadly, 'but if we Democrats want to

keep the tariff right where it is. That

the basis of the rumor that Dr. Gunsau-

But he denies emphatically he has any
intention of resigning and says that his
accompanying Mr.. Armour is out of the
question, as his presence is required at
the closing of the institute in June.
In 1898 DR.. Gunsaulus was in such
poor health that he told his faculty that
he must resign. but it urged him not to
and he compromised by taking long
rest.
