WORD, to rush in and take their pick of
pubic positions, are still out in the
cold, and are shivering. They will
from the present outlook, continue to
shiver indefinitely. The public treasu-
ry is still a bowling vacuum. There
is not a surplus dollar in sight. and
II the Territory is to depend upon the
Independents, it will be some time he
lore there is any extra coin on hand.
Ihere are no counties by means of
which the number of Office holders will
be greatly increased. The appropria-
tion bill, that was to feed all that were
to line up to the public crib, is still
in the future tense.
Because he has disappointed them
at every turn, the Home Rulers have
determined to do away with their
prophet once and for ALL A meeting
was held in the headquarters of the
independents on Bethel street last
night, in which the disgruntled poIi-
ticians discussed their troubles long
and loud. The entire situation was re-
viewed most thoroughly, and the re-
sponsibility of the whole matter was
placed upon the shoulders of him who
had promised so much, and who had
fulfilled so little. There was no hesi-
fancy on the part of the speakers to
give voice to their opinions. There
are several leaders in the prospective,
but who the wearer of the mantle will
be, is difficult to say at the present
time. Becllley is mentioned as a high
ly probable leader, but he has not been
officially recognized as yet. There are
some objections to him on account of
his years, many of his party feeling
that he is lacking in experience that
they feel should be part of the makeup
of leader Beckley has had enough
experience to keep clear of one thing.
He is studiously avoiding the making
of rash promises.

y" WO thousand yelling Chinese in
tent on doing bodily harm, and
with demolishing the stage,
created a. riot last night in the
Chinese theater, one which, for a time,
looked as if it would end in bloodshed.
The members of the Flying Jordans'
troupe of circus performers narrowly
escaped severe injury at the hands Of
the crazy mob, and made their escape
in the darkness to the rice fields in the
vicinity of the theater under the guild
ance of Police officer Joy. They flew
as never before.
For the space of fifteen minutes the
mob surged and shouted until the in
terror cf the theater resembled a scene
from the Peking legation. Men in the
the riot by throwing chairs across the
intervening space to the stage, mar
rowly missing those who crowded for
ward in the pit below
The presence of a few police officers
did not for an instant check the riot
ers, and had it not been that the Off
GERS put forth their energies to save
the women of the troupe, the latter
might have been handled roughly. The
appearance of Deputy Sheriff Chilling
worth within fifteen minutes of the
commencement of the trouble, quieted
the row, and peace was restored by
dispensing the crowd.
The trouble started in peculiar
way, and was due in a large measure
to the method by which the Chinese
pay their way into the theater. It is
the custom for the Chinese managers
to charge good admission fee be-
tween the hours of and o'clock, a
lower price from to 10, and still an
other and smaller price from 10 to Il

TROUBLES OF THE TYRANT.
Man Has Grievances to Complain OF as
Well as Woman.

Well as Woman.
At the fathers congress, held in this
city shortly after the adjournment Of
the mothers congress, Fred Presnery
delivered an address on Man; How.
When and Why Is IIe?" He said in
part:
Man that is born of woman is Of
few days and full of microbes. He
hOppeth out of bed in the morning and
his feet are pierced with the tack of dis
appointment. He walketh through the
streets of the city in the pride and glory
of his manhood and slippeth on the
banana peel of misfortune aud unjoint-
eth his neck. He smoketh the cigar Of
contentment. and behold it explodeth
with loud noise, for it was loaded. He
slideth down the bannister of life and
encounters many slivers of torture. He
lieth down to sleep at night and Is stung
by the mosquitoes of annoyance, and
his frame is gnawed by the bedbug Of
adversely.
What is man but the blind worm Of
fate? Behold, he is impaled upon the
hook of despair and furnishes bait for
the leviathan, death, in the fathomless
ocean of time. Sorrow and travail fol-
low him all the days of his life. In his
infancy he Is afflicted with the worms
and colo, and in his old age he Is af-
f1icted with rheumatism and ingrowing
toenails. He marryeth a cross-eyed
woman because her father is rich and
findeth that she hath not sense enough
to fry the festive chuck steak. His
father-in-law then monkeyeth with OPP
tons and goeth under.
What is man but the tumor on the
neck of existence? He playeth the
races and betteth his all on the brown
mare because he hath received a tip.
The sorrel gelding winneth by neck.
Behold, he runneth for office and the
dead-beat pulleth his leg ever and anon
and then voteth for the other man. He
exalteth himself among his people and
swelleth with pride but when the
votes are counted he findeth that his
name is mud. He boasteth Of his
strength in Israel, but is beaten by a
red-headed man from the Bloody Third.
He goeth forth to breathe the fresh air
and mediate upon the vanity of all
earthly things, and is accosted by a
bank cashier with a sight draft for
5000. A political enemy lieth in wait
for him in the market place and walk
eth around him, growing like a cock.
Verify. man is nothing but a wart
on the nose of nature-a bunion on the
toe of time-a freckle on the face of the
universe. Lake Herald.

A Precious Necklace.

The most magnificent and costly
pearl necklace in the world is in the
possession of the Countess Henckel, a
lady well known in London and Paris.
1t is made of three historical necklaces,
each of which has enjoyed considerable
celebrity in former times. One of them,
valued at $4,000, was sold to the
Countess by a grandee of Spain, and 1t
is known as the necklace of the virgin
of Atokha;" the second belonged to the
ex-Queen of Naples; and the third was
the famous necklace belonging to the
Empress Eugene, and by her sold to a
London jeweler for 100000.

Taking in view the Northern States,
Including all from Ohio to the Dakotas,
together with Missouri and Kansas, the
rate of increase of population has fallen
from % per cent in the decade 1880
1890 to Is per cent in the last decade.
The rate at present is accordingly be-
low the average rate of increase for the
entire Union instead of above 1T as for
merly. The agricultural prizes of the
West have been won and population no
longer flows to virgin lands to any large
extent. whereas the manufacturing
cities of the East still attract popula-
ton. The central West yields the pace
to the older sections of the East.

Football is a game which calls for
thorough preparation. 1t is what Mr..
Roosevelt would term a strenuous
sport. 1t is not a recreation for weak
lings. 1t is not even safe for strong
men who have not been especially train
ed for it. But for the seasoned athlete
it has few perils. The fatalities among
the college elevens are few and far be-
tween because every man is trained to
the hour. The same thing is true in il
measure of all athletic Sports. Trained
pugilists will hammer each other for
hours and be none the worse FOR it next
day Trained bicyclists will ride for
days without rest or sleep and turn up
perfectly fresh after twenty-four hours
rest. Unframed men are frequently
killed in friendly boxing contests. I'm
trained cyclists kill themselves by at
tempting impossible tasks. The lesson
of it all is that athletics, like everything
else worth trying, demands practice,
self-denial and perseverance. There is
no royal road to excellence on track,
field or gridiron. The man who would
achieve distinction must prepare him
self. If he neglects the preparation he
not only invites failure, but physical in
jury and perhaps death. The death Of
young Gillett, in Chicago, is regretta-
BILE, but it proves nothing against foot
ball. 1t does demonstrate that untrain-
ed lads would better keep off the grid
iron.

They Suffer No Penalty.

"Alvord's theft of 100000 and
Schreiber's of $106O00," said an expert
accountant, Ego to show that in all
honest men from stealing. No matter
how thorough the auditing may be, no
matter how closely the heads watch
those under them, every man who han
dies money can steal, with a reasonable
chance of escaping detection. That
more such men don't steal speaks well
for human nature, but | must qualify
this statement with the additional one
that many do steal and are caught, but
their employers, while discharging
them, do not make public their crimes.
1t isn't charity which impels the EN-
ployers to do this, though; it is fear
of hurting the credit of the firm.
You can safely say that 90 per cent
of the thieving employees Of Philadel-
phia are not brought to justice. Usually
they arrange to pay back their defalca-
tons ON the installment plan. l know

thefts were, in way, innocently be-

determination that it would be re-

Rubber Heels Are Worn.

Everyone knows that when soldiers
cross bridge they are ordered to break
step, so that the regular vibration OF
so many feet shall not endanger the
safety of the structure. Now an army
surgeon of France has discovered that
the brain jar due to long marches In
regular step is as trying on the human
frame as such marching is on the struc-
ture of bridge To the regular repe-
tition of a shock to bones and brain
caused by this uniform and long-contin-
ued marching are due the peculiar
aches, pains and illness of the troops.
On one-day march, he says, this shock
is repeated 10000 times, and often the
strongest men who can walk the same
distance without trouble when not In
line succumb to the strain in two or
three days. Therefore this surgeon pro-
poses as a remedy the use of rubber
heels. This device has been tried in the
French infantry with great success.
But our army has a better plan than
that. We simply break the step with
the command route step" At this
gait the men march in columns of tours
at the rate of three to three and a half
miles an hour. They carry their pieces
at will, keeping the muzzle elevated.
They are not required to preserve sill
ence, nor TO keep the step. And that's
why the American doesn't wear rub
bers.

A most learned and upright judge has
spled that a married woman, either
living with or apart from her husband,
may be considered the head of the
house. This is the de jure phase of the
proposition; every intelligent person
has known that the married woman has
frequently been the head of the house
de facto. Chronic old woman haters,
like St Paul for example, have foolish
ly insisted that the man is the head Of
the woman and consequently of the
house, but you do not find that narrow
and absurd view Endorsed In these pip
ing days of feminine emancipation and
advancement. OF course pronounce
ment from the bench Is gratifying to
feminine pride as an Endorsement, how
ever reluctant. yet we dare say that it
will not surprise anybody and will not
lead to any sudden upheavals. The

natural trend; woman has made the

and that return to first principles is

SIX CENTURIES TO BUILD.

Cologne Cathedral Was in Process of

While the first stone of Cologne
Cathedral was laid on Aug. 10, 124S,
and the body of the edifice was not
opened until Aug. 10, 1S4S, 600 years
later to the very day, it was not, how
ever, until Aug. 10, 1880, that the splen-
did structure was finally reported COM
pleted, having thus occupied In build
ing the record time of exactly 634
years.
The castle of Kingsgoberg, which
stands at the southern extremity OF
Jutland, took 2O4 years from the lay

Count Jhorsing, the builder Of the
castle, was killed. His son was then
in swaddling clothes. He did not con-
tinue his fathers work until aged "a.
On his twenty-ffth birthday he was
thrown into prison by the son of the
man whose skull lay in the earth at
Kingsgoberg's foundation stone. In this
manner master after master of Kings
