A LIVELY INTRODUCTION.

@IR HARRY WESTWOOD COOPER,
the English forger. accused of mo-
bility. is far more docile creature
~ since his course in rigorous western
police treatment than he was when
Captain John Seymour. chief of detectives,
first introduced himself. The story OF IN
PRODUCTION Is good.
Captain Seymour, then without other title
than a plain badge. was sent over to the
Langham hotel one day to bring In this
exceptional scion to police headquarters.
To the captains query If the nobleman was
in the clerk merely pointed to the ele-
vator and remarked:
Just going up. sir; won't see anybody"
At tie entrance to the elevator stood 9
gentleman in elegant afternoon attire. ana
straight up to him went the detective
Pardon me-" said Seymour. lone mo-
ment, please"
Sir Harry moved away as If to be rid OF
the intruder. and just then the elevator
came down. The detective move nearer.
Pardon me again." he said; OUT
am"
"some trades person." concluded Sir
Harry. II cawn't see you."
CAPTAIN Seymour put his hands on Sir
Harry's shoulders and began again.
But Sir Harry did something suddenly;
the detective did something more suddenly;
lAere was crashing and breaking, rush
of excited people, and one little FELLOW IN
the background, crying:
man! How dare you touch my fwend. sub
Hawwy"
Then the clearing of the smoke revealed
the "fwend. sub Hawwy," sitting hand
cuffed on the floor. his top nat crusneo IN.
his Prince Albert torn and the blood from
a cut on his face streaming down onto his
white vest.
The captain was winded, but otherwise In
good form.
-ou will pardon me-" he remarked
again, "but when you interrupted me was
about to introduce myself. I am John Sey-
mour of the detective agency"
THAT will do" said the nobleman put
frankness compels me to say mat 90 not
desire your acquaintance"
Then-hrst looking down at the manacles
he added slowly:
''You will pardon me for not-ah-ohering
you my hands" ~,

equal wit; "but may I take your arm?'-

NlcKNAMING A GOVERNOR.

You may not have heard the story Of how
tue present governor of Nebraska. Ezra p.
Savage, got the name of Dashboard" Mr..
Savage, who is Typical plainsman. was
lieutenant governor and succeeded to the
office of governor when Governor Dietrich
resigned to accept election to the United
States senate. As lieutenant governor he
presided over the joint assembly Of the
legislature. Although he knew nothing of
parliamentary law, the subject had no ter
rors for him. Wnen he thought a ruling
was right and facl.. .ated business he made
it; Otherwise. not. His vocabulary smacked
largely of the plains.
AS the hour drew nigh for the last sena-
torial ballot the excitement was intense
the republicans were In caucus: the fusion
lists were In their seats waiting the major
ity to arrive. A large crowd pressed into
representative hail. Soon the galleries were
SO full that the people in front were pushed
to the very edge. where there was only q
railing about foot high.
The news Of .-.e nomination Of Governor
Dietrich and y. H. Willard for senators
was received with great enthusiasm.
Suddenly the crowd began to arrive from
the caucus. In q few minutes tho main
floor of the hall was packed to overflow
ing A large number rushed upstairs and
began to push their way into the upper

to men who have made q study of eco
nouic Questions-men who understand
labor conditions. who realize the peril
involved in arraying antagonistic in
terests against each other, who are pre-
pared to give as we'll as to take. and
who believe that a settlement effected
by diplomatic methods Is better than one
brought about by the necessities Of strik-
ers after q long and bitter conflict and
unsettled business conditions.
Many thoughtful men hold to the opin-
ion that the greatest problem to be solved
by this country is the adjustment of the
relations of labor and capital. In the
solution of this problem the country
needs the counsel of it's wisest and most
patriotic citizens. It is question which
cannot be settled by demagogues on the
one hand or by men who refuse to sub
ordinate their personal prejudices Or
private interests on the other. 1t is a
matter of too great importance to BE
left to the decision of one man-it can
not be settled off-hand. The proper So
luton of the problem is a task to which
our ablest statesmen and wisest econom-
lists should address themselves. The men
who succeed in making labor and capital
trust each other and work together har-
will earn the gratitude Of the nation.
They will save the republic from the
perils by which it would be threatened IL
the antagonism between concentrations
Of capital and concentrations Of labor
should be intensified by reckless leader
ship on both sides.
The Inter Mountain recognizes in the
above expressions sentiments which have
done more to hinder a proper under
standing Of labor problems than all 9TH
er considerations combined. Fine spun
theories have no place in the ~contro-
versy. The Sun intrudes into the dis
cussion ideas of ethics that are in no wise
valuable to the subject under discus
sion. 1t is along lines similar to those
followed by the Sun that the strikers con-
duct their campaign and the officials
Of the steel combine oppose them upon
grounds fully as untenable. EXAMINATIONS
founded upon the mistaken notion that a
steel combine can or will be conducted
along lines of any but hard, matter of
fact business are futile: so, also, are the
dreams of employers who ieludge them
selves with the notion that laboring
men will weigh their claims in an i'm
partial scale.
The problem of the steel strike will,
in all likelihood, solve itself. but the set
Element will. without doubt, be based
upon grounds far removed from those
suggested by the Sun.

The late Father rettit was one OF ...e
best .>nown priests In the Milwaukee dfo-
cese. 1t may be sa.~ at he was nne
representative of the pioneer priest. With
a wide experiences and an appreciation OF
the numor OF a SITUATION, many interesting
stories are told of him.
On one occasion he was preaching IN st.
Raphael's church. Madison. OF w.-ch he
was pastor. 1t was a fine summer day and
the windows were open. In an adjoining
vacant lot a number Of boys were playing
a game o, baseball.

the BICYCLE RACES,

The announcement that bicycle races
at the saucer track have been discon-
tinued because the people of Butte have
not evinced sufficient interest in the sport
comes as surprise to many who be-
lieved that the new enterprise would be
complete success. The failure of the
project certainly rests with local condi-
tons. The sport was we'll appreciated
in other cities and in Butte it was cap
ably managed and we'll advertised. Not
for many years has sport become so
popular in all sections of the country as
bicycle racing on the saucer track. But
in Butte bicycle riding, as a means Of
and races between wheelmen are looked
upon much as the public views more
common forms Of sport. Then, too, there
were other adverse conditions which
had to be overcome before the saucer
track could be success. The horse
rons of sports and furnished excitement
that the saucer track did not supply.
The management of the new enterprise
has accomplished more toward provid-
ing Butte with clean and interesting
form of sport than has been done for
many years. The amphitheater built for
the bicycle races is no small addition to
the sporting equipment of Butte and II
is believed that another season will
bring the measure of success the sport
deserves. 1t will be many years before
the saucer craze which is now sweep
ing over the country shall have spent
its force

Prospects For Celebration
Through The State
ARE VERY GOOD
A Form Of Invitation IS Given
Out
ESPECIAL TO THE TELEGRAM.)

st. Albans, May 16.-The outlook
is encouraging for the general observ-
ance of Old Home Week In Vermont
next August. Good progress has been
made in the organization of local
Home Week associations since our
last reports were printed. Up to the
middle of May local associations have
been formed in sixteen towns and cit.
les, including Bradford, St. Albans,
Manchester, Rutland, St. Johnsbury,
Northtield, Burlington, Rochester
Chelsea, Poultney, Marshtield, Hart
ford, Montpelier Ludlow, Middlebury
and the town of Barre. Calls have
been issued in ten other towns and
cities for the organization of local as
sociations. By JuneD it is expected
thai fifty local associations will have
been formed.
Advices have been received indicat-
ing that Old Home Week will be Gel.
ebrated in every shire town in each
county and also in all the larger towns
and cities of the state on an extensive
scale. August Is has been selected in
these places as the day for the princi-
pal exercises of the week.
1t is quite important that the can.
vass made by local associations for the
purpose of securing the names and ad-,
dresses of former residents should be
completed and sent to the secretary of
the state association before the first
day of June, as 1T is proposed to send
out on that day the official invita-
tions issued by tie governor to natives
of the state residing in other states.
Residents of Vermont are also request
ed to furnish the names and addresses
Of friends to whom they wish the gov
ernor'S invitations sent. The invita-
tions to be issued by local associations
will bring better results if mailed two
or three weeks later. A form of invi-
tation for local associations has been
prepared by Secretary Forbes, which
can be obtained OF members Of the
executive committee in each & unity,
or of the state secretary. This form
is given below.
