THERE is much grumbling about
the charge OF 20 cents tor reserved
seats for the High School commence.
ment, to be held in the High School
auditorium on Wednesday evening.
The room costs nothing, the eX-
penses beng paid by the Board Of
Education, and why there should
be charge Of 20 cents forreserved
seats Is mystery. Somebody
who can, should rise and explain
why this extra charge is demand.
ed. The graduates even had TO
pay cents apiece for their invita-
tions. making them cost $40 a
thousand. We never knew before
that the School Board was so short
Of funds that the pupils had to pay
for their graduation, the expense
being equally divided among them.
When the commencements were
held in the Opera House, there was
some excuse for charging this extra
lor reserved seats, but since being
held in the property OF the citizens,
there is no reason why this extra
charge should be made.

THE RALLIED THIRD PARTY"
Hitch Occurs at Kansas City Over the Naming of the New
 Political Party.

Kansas City, Mo, Sept lo.@The Allied Third Party" conference had still not been called to order at two o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The morning was spent in separate confer ences by the different contingents. The platform to be presented to the conference had been decided upon and accepted by all clements, but there was a hitch among the popu- lisits over the name to be given the new party. The populists would only agree provisionally to a new name. insisting that they would have first to submit the question to their constitu- ents. The St. Louis delegation was in favor of adopting permanent name, without waiting upon the pop ulists cooperation, the name, how ever, not to be binding upon the pop ulists till it. should be ratified by a referendum vote. Finally the popu- lists submitted a proposition to the other elements to make the work of the present gathering preliminary. to be followed by permanent organiza- tion at a national convention to be held not sooner than six months from date. They suggested that the pres ent conference proceed with organi- zation, giving the new party the tenn porary name of "The Third Party Alliance They favored an organic and immediate union of all reform forces, to be officially cemented at the proposed convention six months hence, state conventions of all reform parties to be held in the meantime, and delegates to the general conyen- ton elected
 Recess was taken to two o'clock, when the populists' proposition will be submitted to the other clements.

The EveIess Congo

French Congo is without a French woman, and there is gnashing of teeth in local official circles. Itappears thai last year the colony was frightened by the presence of 13 ladies, wives of French officials, but these soon sick ened, and the government, finding the cost of transport too much, informed its colonial servants that they would not be allowed to take out their wives at the national expense. Now. a de- cree of December, 1897, states that in- asmuch as wives ought to follow their husbands to the colonies their fares backward and forward would be de- frayed by the colonial office. There fore, the recent government order is illegal, and to get over the difficulty the colonial office will be compelled to send out only bachelors to the colony. -London Express.

BRINGS RIPE EXPERIENCE.
rector of Exhibits of the St. Louis Worlds Fair.

St. Louis. Sept. Frederick J. Y. Skift has been appointed director of exhibits of the Worlds fair. The app pointment, which places him al the head of one of the four coordinate grand divisions of the Louisiana Pur- chase exposition. was announced by President Francis after the meeting of the executive committee Tuesday.
 The new official is director of the Field Columbian museum of Chicago. He was formerly deputy director gem eral of he Worlds Columbian eXposi- tion and chief of mines and mining department of that fair. Later he was appointed by President McKinely deputy commissioner general of the United States section at the Paris eX- position. In recognition of his serv- ices in that connection he was deco rated with the cross of the Legion of Honor by the French government Mr. Skiff has also received bronze medal from France and q gold medal from Germany in recognition of merit in exposition work. He is mem ber of the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science; American In- stitute of Mining Engineers; lnterna- tional Museums association, and Ma tional Geographical society In 1897 he assisted in organizing and was a member of the jury al the Nashville exposition.
 His eminent qualifications suggest ed his name for one of the four im- portant posts which combine the du- ties of a director general. an office that has been eliminated by the ex- ecutive committee of the Louisiana Purchase exposition.
 His powers will give him the same administrative scope enjoyed by Isaac $. Taylor as director of construction and maintenance. Coincident with the appointment the executive committee created four grand divisions of the exposition. The director of exploita- tion at home and abroad and the di- rector of concessions and admissions remains to be appointed.

MARYLAND'S BUTCHER PLANT
Vegetable Ogre. Tint Traps and De yours Flies nnd Other small
 Insects.

The most remarkable of all carn'v. orous plants grows i'll the state of Maryland. 1t is commonly known Tn that region as the "butcher plant" though science calls it Dionea musci- pula, and it's business is the catch ing of insects-chiefy flies. At this it is so clever that an unwarv fly that ventures upon it has practically no chance to escape immediate death, says the Chicago American.
 The leaves of this vegetable crri- osity, which creeps along the ground in boggy places, are so modified ae to take the form of jaws, armed with saw-like teeth. Under ordinary con. ditions the jaws are held wide open, and the plant is a veritable bunch of traps waiting for prey. The traps are baited, too. each one of them having on it's inside swedish sub- stance which is attractive to flies and other such creatures.
 When a fly comes along it is obliged, in order to get at the sweet ish stuff, to enter between the jaws of one of the traps. Each jaw has three almost microscopic hairs, so arranged that the visitor cannot help coming in contact with them-a con tact which notifies the intelligent plant that a victim is at hand. In stantly-the hairs acting as feelers- the jaws snap together, imprisouine the unfortunate insect, which is held fast until digested and absorbed by the vegetable ogre.
 Any object inserted between the jaws will produce the same effect, and 1t Is very interesting to experi- nent in this way with the point of a knife, or of lead pencil may be. touching the little hairs and causing the gaping traps to shut fiereely, one after another. There may be 30 or more of them within half that num- Der of square inches. When the jaws have been induced to close by such a cheat, they remain shut for several hours, until at length. as it would seem, the plant discovers the cheat and opens up for business again. Each trap on an individual plant acts independently without reference to the others.
 Unfortunately this most interest ing example of the vegetable carniv- ora seems to be approaching ex- tinction. It is already rare, and ef- forts to propagate it in green houses have not been successful. One difficulty is that it requires an ex- traordinary amount of moisture in the air.

TWENTY THOUSAND BAIL.
Magistrate Prindiville Decides to Release Emma Goldman Un-
 der Heavy Bond.
SHE WAS DISAPPOINTED AT ITS SIZE.
She said. However. That She Had Friends the Police Knew Moth ing About. and Would be Out of Durance by NiRht-Her Lawyers Seeking Bondsmen.

Chicago, Sept. Magistrate Prin- diyille decided to allow Emma Gold man, the anarchist, her freedom un- til the case comes up for hearing, un- der bonds of $20000. Her attorneys said they had secured $1j,000 and i'm mediatelv left the court room 10 seek the additional security necessary. Meanwhile. Miss Goldman was led back to the woman's annex to the Harrison Street station. She was visibly disappointed at the amount of the bond required.
 "I'Ii Be Out of Here by Night"
 T guess they thought they would make the bond so big l couldn't fur nish it. she said. but l have friends the police know nothing about, and I'll be out of here by night"
 The hearing of Miss Goldman's s case on the charge of conspiracy to mur- der President Mckinley" was set for Thursday Her counsel, however, learning that there would be no ses. sions of the court Thursday, because of the late presidents 5 funeral, de- cided, at q conference, to take the matter of bail before the magistrate Wednesday. The matter of Miss Gold mans guilt or innocence of the charge against her was not men toned, as Justice Prindiville has de- cided to follow the example of Judge Chetlain. who has the cases of the other anarchists before him.
 Miss Goldman was Cheerful.
 Miss Goldman was exceedingly cheerful when she was brought into court by Chief Matron Keegan, and chatted vivaciously with her at torneYs. Messrs. Saltiel, Geeting and Brown
 Mr. Geeting. for Miss Goldman, ad- dressed the court first. He said that while the defense was willing to al low the police every opportunity to secure evidence against Miss Gold man, as we'll as the other anarchists. he said he was confident that Miss Goldman was entitled under the law. to freedom under bonds.
 ''I can assure this court" said the lawyer, that my client, if under no bond at all other than her word would appear before this court when ever desired"
 No objection was Made.
 John E. Owens, representing the city prosecutor. advanced no obiec- tion to bail being allowed. but plead ed that. in view of the importance of the ease and the national interest in it. that the bond be made as heavy as possible in accordance with the Illi- nois statutes
