WANT POLICE PROTECTION.
Rowdies Make Life Miserable in the
 South Ind.

Some time ago the residents of the south end petitioned the board of pub lie safety for police protection, and the answer they received was that the place was as we'll pOliced as any part of the city. If that be true, someone ought to explain what is being done with the $35,000 or $40,000 of the peo- ple's money which is appropriated an- nually for the police department. There is no police protection in that part of the town, and in consequence an army of young rowdies that are just starting out on the road to ruin continue to make life miserable for people who want to sleep nights and who do not care to have the filthiest kind of language constantly dinned into their ears. There is vast difference ill the conduct of crowd of children at play and that of group of young sters whose ages range from 12 to 16 or IT hooting and shouting at pedes- trians in language so revolting that the lowest characters that parade the streets would draw the line at such exhibitions. It has been said that this kind of work would not be, going on if the neighbors didn't want it. This is a libel on the whole district
 The people have been endeavoring to get police protection for years, but they seem to be as far away from if to-day as ever. The statement that the people ought to be able to correct these abuses themselves is nothing short of a direct insult They are paying men to perform this kind of ser vice, and on that account they see nc reason why they should be called upon to do it themselves.

NOT AFFECTED BY STRIKE.

Birmingham, Ala, Aug 5.-Promi- nent labor leaders and corporation of ficials agree in the belief that the great strike will in no way affect the Birmingham district. There are sever al lodges of the Amalgamated asso- citation here, but they do not expect tos be called on for a sympathetic strike, as none of the mills here is owned or operated by the United States Steel corporation. The steel mills of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company are operated as open mills.

ABSOLUTE MANIPULATION.
And Second Homestead, Says One
 Man in Talking of Strike.

Man in Talking of Strike.
 Milwaukee, Wis, Aug Eff Presi- dent Shaffer carries out his published intention of ordering general strike, it will mean the absolute annihilation of the Amalgamated association and a second Homestead affair." said Super intendent Reiss of the Illinois Steel Co last night. sAs to whether or not the strike would be ordered here cannot say.
 '.The men who are employed in the Illinois Steel Go are working under a contract and an agreement which has been ill force four years, and I have never known the association to violate q contract. But if the men in our mills are ordered out I have no doubt they will obey the order.
 Ut seems to me q mistaken policy to throw thousands of men out Of work merely on q matter of sentiment and thls is all the president seems to be doing. Mir Shaffer. in my opinion, has made q grave mistake in taking the action he did,"
 Four hundred men are employed in the Bay View plant of tire Illinois Steer Co. No word of a strike order has been received, but one is expected.

TO RECOVER ON A NOTE.
Presented Friend With a Note For
 $500 and His Will.

$500 and His Will.
 Suit to recover on a note for $500 has been instituted by Attorney Charles G. Root, representing Frank l.. Andrews, administrator, against John c. Taylor of Hartford. Andrews is hostler for the F. c. Bushnell company and boards at Grove street His deceased broth CT was a well known printer and a member of Wadhams post, G. A. R. The question involved in the suit is what lawyers call a very pretty one, It will test the law on the legality of 2 posthumous gift of will drawn up without witnesses. Deceased was look ed upon as a peculiar man. He was not notional or yet eccentric, still he had ideas of his own that nothing would remove. MT Andrews died some time ago and among his papers was found a note for $500 he had loaned MT Taylor, who, by the way, is secretary of the State Prison Aid association. The note appeared to have been tossed about and not given the care which a paper of it's value is usually given. But that was peculiar to Andrews. He never cared much about money and he never saw a friend i'll want of dol lar. He used to say that war is the thing to give men sense of what their natural relations to each other should be. sga e
 On the back of the note was a mem orandum written by Andrews and to the effect that if he died before the note became due. it should be regarded as his wish that Mir Taylor should not be asked to pay it. It appears that he also made similar provision fol this in his will, which. it appears also was drawn up by himself and think. ing he was as capable as any one else to do it, did not bother himself about procuring witnesses to show that ii was his own will. Such matters as thai Andrews weighed in his own mind Now the administrator of his estate has set the machinery of the law il operation to test the legality of his action.

Three White Roses.

The faircst nower of all that grows
IN this beautiful world,
+ the pure white rose.
Three white roses were sent to me;
Three white roses from over the sea.
Three white roses, and loving hands,
Folded the letter in far OF lands;
Sealed the missive sent to me
with the roses from over ne sea.
The ship that bore them over the sea
Rolled and tossed with the roses three;
The waves ran high-reached the mast,
But the letter and roses came at last.
The JOY they brought we need not tell;
The three white roses and 'aI is well.
Eyes were dimmed but they could see
BY the lamp-Iight For the Trinity"
Tear drops fail, heart is stirred
BY only line, q simple word
Tear drops fan near the roses white,
The treasured roses that came tonight.
They came over the deep, vide sea.
Love. the letters. and the roses three.
Painfully sad our lives so willed
That fond hearts must be torn asunder
Brown eyes look out over the sea,
nine upon the roses sent to me.
We wonder, ponder, and wonder.

The Attorney General in holding
up the payment of about 100000
provided for by the Portage levee
repair case, the New Richmond re-
lief case and the KeeIy cure
claims until the courts shall deter
mine the constitutionality of the acts,
is doing the state an important SER
vice. The appropriation of money
raised by taxes for such purposes if
not directly opposed to provisions of
the constitution is of very doubtful
public policy. Even provided that
these cases are decided by the courts
to be within the permission of the
constitution the legislature has es-
tablished bad precedent.

The number of insurgents captured
or surrendered in the Philippines up
to June is was Al ,029. Several thous-
and have been captured or have sur
rendered since that date. This fact,
which would indicate that the insur-
gents had armies aggregating $4,000
men we'll armed in the field, will show
that the war in the PHILIPPINES was nc
mean affair. The result shows also
these Filipinoes are no match against
American troops.

a comparison of the assessors
returns from the different towns,
few of which have been published,
shows wide variation in valuation,
apparently because it is not shown
how near the assessments of last
year correspondent with the actual
valuation Of the property. Some
towns show an assessment of more
than twice what they were listed
last year and some show hardly any
raise. Again it is evident that some
assessors have neglected to list certain
kinds of property that others have
assessed. For instance, in one town
recently reported in this country, no
gold or silver watches are returned
and only nine bicycles, sixteen
pianos and seventeen organs. The
city of Mondovi is assessed at S467,-
500, an increase of 1886 over last
year. An exchange reports the as
sessments in nine towns of the coun-
ty of Dane. The raise in value over
last year varies from one fourth of
one per cent to 50 per cent. From
what data we have so far the assess
ment question is still in confusion.
