 Mayor Johnson has given city hall em- ployes several shocks. He gives two hours a day to the office of Mayor but business goes with a rush. He has notl- fled the heads of departments that some of their subordinates must wear cleaner linen He refused to talk to a certain politician who called while partly intox- icated and when the caller became ob- streperous the Mayor pushed him out of the door with his own pudgy hands.
 The Mayor has a handsome home on the most aristocratic stretch of Euclid avenue He does most of his work there, employing three stenographers. besides the one furnished by the city. Mrs John- son figures prominently in society and charitable work and has the charming manners of high bred Southern woman. Her maiden name was Johnson and she is distantly related to her husband. They have a son and a daughter who are at school
 Mayor Johnsons brother Albert, is an- other character who is attracting much attention He got his start as conduc- tor on one of Toms street cars in Cleve- land. He is now an advocate of Scent fares and has gigantic schemes under way. He proposes to build street car line from New York to Philadelphia. He also has a scheme for a tunnel line be- tween New York and Brooklyn.

Her Small Fottune From silk Skirts

From the Washington Evening Star.
 "I met a woman recently who gave me point or two as to one way bright woman can make her way in the world, ' said New York merchant. She is q wid' ow with three children to support, and two years ago, when she came to New York from the West, she had just $200 left out of a 5000 insurance policy of her deceased husband. Not knowing what to do with such a small amount of money she wandered about the city for a week or two looking at things. One day she saw the women crowding the life out of one another at a bargain counter sale of skirts and she got an idea. She let it de- velop for a day or two and then invested $l50 of her savings in silk skirts that were destined for the bargain counter They were crumpled and looked faded and. tired but she took them as they were at small prices and carried them to her rooms. nere she ironed them out till they looked like new and then went out in the su- burban towns to sell them. She found ready customers at good prices and came back for more These she made as good as new and had no trouble in disposing pf her stock.
 "A few days later she bought a fresh supply of skirts and also added shirt waists. When these had been sold out she next began buying shop worn silks, remnants and that kind of stock and gradually increased her territory, and rhaying somebody to do the renovating while she was attending to the buying and selling Well, her business has pros pered to such an extent that she now em- ploys twenty persons to renovate and self her dress goods and she has built up a trade that is paying her this year be- tween s40O and $500 a month. Her children are at private school, she supports her mother lives well and has accomplished all this in two years on a capital of $50 with her business tact

PICK COTTON IN THE FIELD.
Kentucky Minister Granted Patent On Pneumatic Substitute for Fingers.

Sturgis Ky) Herald.
 Rev. William H. Meyers of this city has recently been granted letters of patent on a pneumatic cotton picker for picking cotton out of the bolls in the field. This is the only machine for this purpose in existence and will supply a long-felt want, and be. of in- estimable value to both the lucky in- ventor. and the cotton raisers of the South. MT. Meyers has already sold a one-fourth interest in his patent to a wealthy mill owner, and will leave next Tuesday for Dallas, Tex, where he expects to close a deal with syn dicate of capitalists of that city for another fourth interest in his inven- tion, after which he will return in about ten days and remove his family to Louisville, where he will at once prepare to begin manufacturing his machine on an extensive scale and be prepared for the trade next fall. His machine when in operation will sit on an ordinary farm wagon and be fur nished power by light gasoline en- zine, and will pick the cotton from three rows at a time as fast as the team will walk, and dump lne picked cotton into a second wagon, which fol- lows immediately after the one on which the machine is hauled.

asserted for it by all our past history. It is true the end is not yet, but it is very certain that the administration will not abandon the very high moral ground it has taken and that no Flu ropean power will care to invite the consequences that may follow from a defiance of the principles which have been laid down as our rule of inter- national action.
 Turkey and Morocco have contrib uted minor complications, more or less irritating, while Venezuela has forced the same field of national irritation Again, with nearly every country in Europe and some of the South Ameri can republics, vexatious controversies with respect to tariffs and trade have sprung into existence, so that 1t can be said with truth that the State De- pertinent has now more questions of vital importance on its hands than it had at any period during the past quar. ter of century. The contention with Great Britain respecting the Nicaragua canal is of such long standing that it must be classed as a diplomatic inner itance.
 If the first administration of Presi- dent Mckinley is remarkable for the foreign complications that have fallen within it, the second one promises to be no less remarkable for the solution of them. The situation in Porto Rico is constantly improving, and there can be no doubt that the island will be thoroughly AmericaniZed long before President McKinley's term comes to a close. The Cuban tangle is being slowly but surely unraveled, and it is not optimistic to say that with the cap ture of Aguinaldo the beginning of the end has come in the Philippine Islands. Gradually they are being led into the full lignt of freedom and hap piness. Impartial history cannot fail to set forth the fact that in the man. agement of our foreign affairs the two administrations of President McKin- ley have thus far brought glory to the American name, and have been of SUI preme benefit to the cause of humanity the world over.

lion copies among the people. By ar engagement with a number of Democratic members of Congress he had them include successive chapters of the book in alleged speeches with leave to print in the Con- gressional Record.' He took advantage of another rule to have the detached chapters in the Record brought together Tn d pamphlet, which was printed at the government printing office and sent out broadcast under Congressmen's franks.
 As d campaigner Johnson is as cum ming as a fox. In one of his joint debates it was agreed to charge an admission of 20 cents to prevent both sides from pack ing the house, but Johnson quietly sent out men to buy up all the tickets for Democrats. In another campaign he hired an Irishman to interrupt his speeches with questions. for which the orator was prepared with witty and tell ing replies. This went all right until the Irishman became tired of being the butt of ridicule. He fortified himself with drinks asked questions that were not on the programme and turned the laugh on the campaigner.
 Tom Johnson is full of surprises. In his recent campaign for Mayor he did not pay the party assessment of $500, but the committee got a check for it. Johnson said he did not know who paid it, but it has been learned the check came, nom- inally at least. from MT Dupont, who Is a frequent guest of his former" employe.
 The outgoing city council had passed an ordinace granting the lake front to a railroad corporation. Johnson got an injunction restraining the retiring Mayor

"Switcninu Days."

Shamokin Special Philadelphia North
 American.
 For the last forty-eight hours the Polish residents of this neighborhood have been celebrating Switching Days"
 Yesterday the men chased their wives. switched them and slapped their faces and today the women ran after the men who were doused with water and switched. The respective castigations were received in good spirit. Dances and feasts were held in many homes.
 The customs of switching originated in Poland hundreds of years ago. roman- tic feature of the celebration is that if unmarried men give chase to maidens and switch them without the latter protesting, it means that the girls will accept the attentions of their pursuerS, With the view to matrimony.

FUNNY SCENE IN PARIS.
A Lady Furnishes an Innocent Man for
 Famiiarities by a Lobster.

Rather risky substitute for a battle field is the top of an omnibus but there have been not a few homeric struggles on -.imperlaies" as they are termed here. The latest adventure of the sort owed it's origin to a very eomical mistake. Al a particular Parisian office there ascend ed to the summit of one of these vehicles an individual of very comfortable dlmen- sfons, who was speedily mmer5 ! in the study or his newspaper, a pretty and well dressed woman many years his junior, and an elderly man who looked like a retired officer The omnibus had Ahardly started when the old beau began to cast glances expressive Of intense admiration at his fair ncighbor. and. although he received no engagement. he continued to attempt to get T filtration with her quite unabashed, Suddenly the lady rose tn her feet, and screamed out. You ruff fan. Not content with making eyes at me. you are putting yourNaG round my vast" Most of the people b top of the vehicle indulged in ;t merry laugh but the indivitual who had been reading his Taper so attentVely was iu no testing mood. Crushing it up, he spranG in front of the lady, and shouting 10 her admirer

 The luckless old beau had hitherto fan cied that the woman unaccompani by an escort, and had therefore, volul- teered for that pleasant task He denied that he had attempted to encircle her Waist, but his explanation was in vain sand a pitched battle ensued, which only terminated after the conductor assisted by other passengers, had succeeded in separating the combatants, both of whom were decidedly. the worse for wear. Then shrill voice was heard to exclaim: Why irt's all my lobster's fault" Ev- erybody looked, and, sure enough, the speaker was engaged in a desperate ef- fort to push back into a basket a big lobster which had half emerged from it and had been amusing itself with sundry pinches of the taper waist of the heroine of this adventure. The husband and the wife were now profuse in their apologies, which the old gentleman finally accepted. but with rather bad grace; and little won der, under the circumstances, as he will have to nurse his battered visage for some ttpe.. abstaining in the meanwhile from furthesx attempts at conquest He declares that} he will loathe the sight and the taste oft lobster to the end of his days.

(Coppyright, 1901. Cosmographic Co.)
 President McKinley's first term will be memorable in American history for the remarkable and unprecedented number of foreign complications that have arisen under it, and for the fur ther fact that no one of them has been the result of the direct action of the administration. In. the case of the Spanish war the initiative was taken by Congress, which, after the blowing up of the Maine, simply obeyed the unanimous command of the people to avenge that stupendous national crime and put an end to Spanish rule in the Antilles. The conflict that followed gave us Porto Rico and the Philippine archipelago.
 Then came the Boxer uprising in China and the imperative necessity of protecting American life and property in that country. The administration had no choice in the matter. If we had

New Ulm review., 1901-06-05

1t seems incredible that the man who
''cradled" the first crop Of wheat sown
in Minnesota is still living, and hale
and hearty. It is a fact, however, that
Hugh Hoy, now ivingin Minneapolis,
is the man who, with James Brophy,
cut the first wheat on Governor Ram
sey's farm just west Of the site of the
new capitol in St. Paul. This same
wheat was the first ever sown in Min
nesota, which, within the lifetime of q
living man, has become one Of the
greatest wheat producing territories
of the world. Governor Ramsey had
much trouble in finding someone to
garner his crop. Mr.. Hoy says it was
one of the finest bits Of standing wheat
he has ever seen, coming up breast
high on the Graders, who at that time
used the regulation hand Implement
for cutting the golden grain.

PREPARE LONG TELEGRAM.
President and Secretary Root Send
Statement to Gen. Wood-Not
to Be Made Public.

Washington, June 8. Secretary
Root was with the president for about
an hour and a half Saturday, discuss
ing with him the cablegram which has
been prepared to be sent t O Gen. Wood,
at Havana, relating to the action of
this government on the Cuban consti-
tuition. This message is long and will
be forwarded to Gen. Wood with the
idea of having him communicate it to
the constitutional convention. 1t will
not be made public at this time and
probably not until the convention
takes action. Secretary Root has re-
ceived no official copy of the Cuban
constitution as adopted, the copy re-
ceived being furnished by Gen. Wood,
and consequently the action taken now
is considered of the same unofficial
character, but indicates the determina-
ton of this government to reject the
constitution in it's present form.
Havana, June 3.-All interest Satur-
day was centered on the municipal
election. The press has devoted little
space to Washington's decision to re-
ject the action of the Cuban constitu-
tional convention on the Platt amend
ment. The merchants regret that agi-
tation must again disturb business.
They fear unsettled conditions more
than the actual rejection of the amend
ment.
Santiago de Cuba, June 3.-All busi-
ness is suspended on account of the
municipal elections. Gen. Whitside
Friday ordered American officers to
act in each precinct as board of su-
pervisors of election, serving con-
tinuously from six o'clock in the m mern-
ing until the vote is counted and veri-
fed. The republicans bitterly resent
this. They had openly asserted that
they would elect their candida tes, re-
gardIess of methods. The rural police
have superseded the city police at the
voting places, insuring absolute fair
