SHARKS GET BOLD.

They Forbid the City Treasurer to Pay
Employees Their Wages.
Tho loan sharks are getting bold.
They are laborlng under the impress
sion that they own the city Of Chicago
and that Its government Is made to
serve their interests.
Recently they served notice on the
City Treasurer that they held large
number OF assignments Of salaries Of
policemen and other city employees and
that II the Treasurer dared to pay the
employees their salaries they would hold
him ana his bondsmen personally re-
sponsible for the money due.
The loan scandal Is assuming large
proportions and the people are asking
whether the loan men are the "whole
thing" or not.
In the meantime hundreds Of poor
men are unable to get money for their
homes on account Of the avariciousness
Of the sharks.
An Investigator has discovered that
the tendency of the novel writer's Is to
make their heroes and her0ines marry
ut later age than was the custom
with nOvelists n few years ago. At the
same time, 1t has been noted that the
figures show that people in real life &c.
tually defer marriage to greater en-
tent than used to be customary. The
reason why the facts agree with the
novelists' picture Is obvious. william
Dean Howells says women alone read
novels to-day. And as women must
consent before marriages can take
place, the novelist Is the person who
fixes, by suggestion, the age at which
a woman should get married. This
suggestion Is, Of course, made Indirect.
| ~. The woman who reads novels gets
the general idea that men and women
unite Mt n certain age, and invOluntar,
lily governs herself accordingly. This
Is OF Importance to the men. 1t be.
hooves them to bring some sort of In.
huence to bear on the nOvellsts. or
marriage may be postponed to middle
or old age, or abolished entirely.

LORDS NOT HEREDITARY
(Marouise de Fontenoy.l

CMarquise de Fontenoy.)
Contrary TO the widespread and general
impression, the English house OF lords is
in no sense OF the word the hereditary
chamber, as 1t is so frequently styled 1t
IS not the fact OF his birth that gives any
legal title to a hobleman 10 a seat in the
house of lords, but the summons of the
sovereign, and no one who succeeds to a
peerage can demand a place or a vote III
the upper house until summoned by the
sovereign. 1t would, therefore, be far
Der of the sovereign's delegates than that
of hereditary legislators.
My readers Will understand from this
that the inheritance of peerages does not
ipso facto imply taking a seat in the
house of lords by the eldest son or legal
heir to " members of the gilded cham
Der, bu. at by right of birth he is en-
titled tO summons from the sovereign
to become a hereditary legislator" and
the issuance of this summons is not at all
obligatory upon the ruler.
The queen can summon anybody that
she pleaSeS TO sit in the house of lords
and no one can dispute her right, whereas
she cannot appoint a single individual to
sit in the house of commons. that being
sovereign may omit 10 summon a success
sOr to a ddkedOm, an carbon, or a mar
quisate, without cOntravening any re-
quirement of the British constitution
l may state in conclusion, therefore,
that when a peer renders himself guilty
of any infraetioQ of the law of the land.
or otherwise miscOnducts himself pre-
viOusly to acceding to the title, il is en-
tirely in the hands of the sovereign TO re-
frain from summoning hi;c to the upper
house to take his place among the hered-
itary legislators

Harry Had Got It.
From an Exchange

Among the passengers TO Portsmouth
recently was woman much overdressed,
accompanied by a bright-looking nurse
girl and a Self-Willed. tyrannical boy OF
about years.
The boy aroused the Indignation of the
passengers by his continued shrieks and
kicks and screams, and his ViciouSness
toward the patient nurse. He tore her
bonnet and scratched her hands without
a word or remonstrance from the mother
Whenever the nurse manifested any
firmness the mother would chide her
sharply.
Finally the mother composed herself for
a nap, and about the time the boy had
slapped the nurse for the fftieth time a
wasp came sailing in and few on the
window The boy at once tried to catch
il.
The nurse caught his hand and said.
coaXingly:
Harry mustn't touch! Big ny will bite
Harry!'
Harry screamed savagely, and began to
kick and pound the nurse.
The mother, without opening her eyes
or lifting her head, cried out sharply:
why will you tease that child so,
Mary? Let him have what he wants at
once"
But, ma'am, it's a.

followed brought tears of Joy to the pas

MIR. BARRETTS POSITION

To the Editor of The Herald:
Montpelier. Ida, Aug. Sin your issue
OF the Sth you give an account of an in
tervleW with prominent politician of
Idaho, who assumes TO give out what he
alleges to be an agreement to the effect
that three of the Democratic nominees
namely, James Graham of KOotenai
Charles H Harvey Of Blaine and J. s.
Barrett of Bear Lake. are TO withdraw
to make places for Populists. and that
this agreement will be confirmed at Chi
cago.
The writer is not prepared TO say how
prominent the politician is or how close
he is TO our Democratic leader, William
Jennings Bryan, since his name is not
mentioned, but the gentleman assumes
too much when he undertakes to speak
for Bear Lake or its nominee. and in this
connection | have reason TO doubt the
authority for any part of the statement
As to myself, | have not authorized the
statement, have not thought of with
drawing from the ticket, have no inten-
tons OF doing so now, and besides, my
county would not ask it of me.
We are in sympathy with our POpulist
friends and want their help to elect w.
j. Bryan, and our conduct while in con-
ventiOn a whole week bears out the
statement that we did our best to bring
about fusion, even at the expense OF
coming back TO our constituents without
single place on the ticket, although con-
coded by every locality in the state We
are deserving ii.
We have made a thorough canvass of
the situation all over the state and are
fully persuaded that there is no occasion
flor the auditor pulling off and incline
to the opinion that southeastern Idaho,
which rolls up the vote, will insist on
the ticket remaining intact, so far as the
auditor is concerned, believing it suits all
three PARTIES.
We were willing TO give them the au-
ditOT but not now
