CHAFFING TABOOED.
Nicknaming and ..Guyfng"
Must Cease.

Niclnaming at Westfeld, ILL.,, must
cease. The city council has so deter
mined, and has passed an ordinance
making such offense punishable by a
fine of S. to 500, says the Chicago
Tribune.
Westfield is a college town. and her
people can read Greek and Latin; they
know philosophy and are able to call
the stars by name. but at the same
time they understand the art of manu-
featuring and bestowing a nickname
that has some real significance. Street
"guying" is also favorite pastime OF
the street loafer, and many a country
swain who brings the lady of his
hearts desire to town on Sunday to re-
fresh her with soda water and choco-
lates has learned To his sorrow that
the ''course of true love never did run
smooth" So obnoxious has this state
of affairs become that at the last
meeting of the city council Alderman
Hemphill introduced an ordinance the
substance of which is as follows:
BE it ordained that any person who
disturbs any inhabitant of the village
of Westfield by the use of annoying
nicknames, ieering, guying. traducing
or defaming, upon arrest and convic-
ton of such parties they shall be
fined no less than IS nor to exceed
$780,
1t is generally understood that this
ordinance is not intended to prohibit
the use of endearing or pet names, but
many of the nicknames now in vogue
will cease to be part of the city's vo-
cabulary. The law promises TO bring
about a reformation.
The people of Westfield looked upon
the ordinance as Ii sort of joke al
first, but the authorities declared their
purpose to carry out the law a serious
one, and now all await the initial test
case with great interest. II is not
unlikely that the matter will finally
reach the higher courts.
There has been a striking diminu-
ton in the use of nicknames and in
the habit of chatting since the ordi-
nance was passed.

VERMONT MANUFACTURES.
LARGE Increase in the Last Decade

Large Increase In the Last Decade.
A summary of the manufacturing
statistics for Vermont is given in de-
tail as follows by the United States
census bureau. There were in 1900,
4,07l manufacturing concerns with a
product OF more than $500 each in the
state, being an increase Of l,040 since
1890. The capital invested was S4S,-
547 500, being an increase of almost
Sl6.000,0 600 in 10 years. The wage
earners, exclusive of salaried officials,
clerks, etc, numbered 29,455, and
they earned that year Sl2,337 ,6S4,
representing increases of 1886 and
$3.50, 13l, respectively, over 1890.
The materials used cost S29, Ss2,744
and the total value of products was
So ,646,7l5. The figures show an in
crease since 1890 OF 50.4 per cent in
wages paid. There were in addition
TO the above 653 manufacturing con-
Germs with product of less than $500
each and one governmental establish
ment. These 654 concerns bring the
total number of manufacturing estab-
lishments up to 1925, of which lao
are hand trades. The capital invested
amounted to SIS, 1874, 29,549 wage
earners, exclusive of salaried officials,
clerks, etc, earned sl2,l44,224, ma
terials cost S29, 1885, els. and the total
value of products, including custom
work and repairing, was $50, S47 500.
OF the industries 1853 were Tor lumber
and timber products, 6lS TOR black
smithing and wheelwrighting, 26S for
monuments and tombstones, 255 for
cheese and butter. oil for touring and
grist mill products, 81 for foundry and
machine shop products, 81 for marble
and stone work, 46 for lumber and
planning mill products, including sash,
doors and blinds, q Tor paper and
wood pulp, % for wooden goods, and
IL for hosiery and knit goods. Ex-
Guiding blacksmithing and wheel
wrighting shops. the above ten select
ed industries turned out 1884. ll6,l7 in
products, paying 1922 wage-earners
81. 654. 054. or more than one-half the
total products and total wages in the
state. The value of the products in
..urban manufactures, so-called, was
s3l. So, 29S. 17.617 wage-earners re-
ceivlnc in wages 81, 665. 220, showing
that a little more than one-half OF al
the manufacturing in the state is done

TOOK A GIANT PHOTOGRAPH.
Plate. Said TO BE Largest Ever Made,
Used Mt the Metropolitan
Museum.

An object that attracted consider
able attention at the Metropolitan Mu-
scum Of Art. says the New York sun,
was camera about four feet wide
and five feet high that stood all day
in front of a painting in the Wolfe
gallery.
Ii required the united efforts of
three men TO focus the instrument.
The operator said that the plates used
were the largest ever made, and that
if he should fail to give the proper ex-
posture. it would cost his firm S2s.
The time required to get good pho
tograph of the painting was three
hours and a quarter. Three gallons
of developer and four of hyposulphite
OF soda were used to fix the plate.
When asked why so long an expos
ure was necessary the operator said
that TO get full detail and color value
yellow screen of glass, coated with
geiatine. dyed with picric acid, was
fixed in front of the lens. This screen
changed the picture that passed
through the objective 10 yellow color
and softened the high lights Of the
painting to such an extent that the
dark shadows gave up their detail just
as rapidly as the bright places. The
plate was prepared with blue myrtle
chlorophyl in the emulsion, and this
decreased its regular sensitiveness al
least 80 per cent.
Only one painting was photographed
during the day.

STATE TO OWN UTILITIES.
Canadian Government Proposes to
Have Full Control of Telegraph
and Telephone Lines.

According to authoritative an
nouncements, the government of Can
ada has decided to nationalize the tele-
graphs and the telephones of the do
minion, says the Chautauquan. The
business elements are said to be near
" unanimous in support of this re-
form. The government counts on ar
annual surplus of some s7.000,000 and
its income is increasing under the
usual prosperity of the country. 1t
has. therefore, become possible to
take the step contemplated for years,
but heretofore precluded by lack of
available funds. The government all
ready operates some small telegraph
lines. and not unsuccessfully. The
telephones. if taken over al the same
time as the telegraph. will be placed
in the hands Of the respective munic-
qualities TO be managed by them. II
Is hardly necessary to add that the
employees of the companies are anx-
ious to become the servants of the
state. knowing, as they do, that from
the government they would secure bet
ter terms and greater consideration.
Canada is only following the exam
pie of Great Britain in this respect.
The telegraph was nationalized in
England about 30 years ago, and while
there have been complaints of inefii-
,'ency. red tape and lack of progress
s,ve spirit on the part Of the post Office
& department. which controls it, there is
no agitation in favor of a return TO
operation by private companies.

As a matter of fact Mckinley has
shown more Imperialism than Grant
did, but the country is becoming more
accustomed to it, and there is some
delusion in the fact that Mckinley is
not a military man. 1t is very probable
that the republican nomination can be
secured for him.-Indianapolis Senti-
mel.
If Mr.. Mckinley is the protec-
zionist that he once was why does he
never say so himself? He has carefully
avoided the issue in all his recent state
papers and was very reticent about it
during his canvass for reelection. The
plain fact is that imperialism and the
protective principle" are two things
that do o belong in the same wash.
Mr.. Mckinley had to give up either the
