Justice of the Peace Rhoades. of Chi

proper to stuff towel into a public
schoolboy's mouth to keep him from

that the towel must be freshly laun-

done by not more than two teachers.
In case the boy refuses to open his
mouth to receive the gag one of the
teachers may pry the jaws apart with a

A Scotch member of the British
parliament who travelled in this
country 25 years ago says he discov-
cred striking dissimilarity between
Americans and Britons in that the
former preferred new and progress
siye ways to old ones, while the lat
ter were the reverse. He says the
Englishman's creed in trade is: "As
it was in the beginning, is now and
ever shall be-" while the American
is constantly on the lookout for i'm
proved methods. The English doc
trine is all right in the prayer book,
but it does not apply to trade.

BOSTON WOOL MARKET.

Boston, July 6.-There was a
good business recorded in the
wool market this week. The de-
mand for wool continues good, and
the tone is strong. The market
continues to show an absence OF
speculative feeling, sales made be-
ing to supply the present need OF
manufacturers. The supply OF
wool available is large, the cur
tailed consumption by the mills
during the last week allowing con-
siderable surplus to accumulate.
The activity Of the mills during
the past few weeks has cut into
the surplus, but, with the new
clip coming upon the market there
is no scarcity of general supplies.

'TCOMPETE WITH AMERICA

There was a largely attended
meeting in Vienna on Wednesday,
at which a resolution was adopted
appointin q committee to wait on
the Austrian Minister Of Commerce
and the Provincial Govel nor, beg
ging them to interdict American
houses from embarking In the shoe
business in Austria. 1t Is difficult
to foretell what will be the result
of this agitation, which, by the
way. seems to be the outcome of
the peculiar attitude assumed by
Count Goluchowski: who, a. long
ago as 1897, urged thaC it would
be necessary for European states
to cooperate with each other in a
struggle for existence with the
United States. 1t Is quite certain
however, that the Incident will be
seized upon by the advocates of
the so-called reciprocity treaties to
enforce their argument that this
country must abandon the protect
i've system if it wishes to enlarge
its trade with European countries.
The free traders. who will urge
such course, will, however, care
fully conceal the fact, which this
movement against American shoe
dealers makes perfectly clear, that
the Austrians aud other Europeans
who are objectiug to the introduct-
ion of the products of the United
States do not do 30 on the ground
that We are treating them unfair
ly. They are opposed to their IN
portation because they perceive
that they VIII displace articles pio-
duced by themselves.
Count Goluchow=ki has express
ed himself several times on the sub
iect of American competition but ID
each instance he refrained from
charging that the United States
was acting unfairly. He could not
have made such charge without
gross Inconsistency, for bis own
country impose a. high duties on
imports a. this, and the balance Of
trade between Austria and the
United States hs- been almost IN
variably IN favor Of the former
country. lie simply plants him
self on the proposition that the re-
sources Of the United states give
this country 20 great an advantage
over Europe that any attempt oi
the latter 10 compete would prove
disastrous. The sbOemakers mere
IN echo biz ideas when they pro-
te.t against the estsblisLment Of
American shoe firms in Vienna.
