The New Wizard of Electricity.

]. E. Haschke Of Chicago is one OF
the mechanical geniuses of the TWEEN.
tieth century who are making new
paths of progress for coming leap.
tains Of industry" Mr.. Haschke has
discovered how to make the hardest
steel like putty; q method of reduc-
ing adsment to the penetrability OF q
spiders web. He is the discoverer of
the value of electricity in cutting
away barriers of Bessemer. Mr..
Hascke calls himself consulting
electrical engineer" He has had
for some time a factory on market
street. Chicago, but has been without
newspaper fame. One morning all
the Western papers found him. He
had quietly gone to Milwaukee with
some electrical apparatus. a carbon
point, and his own wits, and cut his
way through steel doors with as much
ease as though he were dealing with
"cheese" pine. Perhaps there was
not bank president in the country
who felt comfortable after this, for
Mr.. Hascke made it known that with
his electrical power and carbon point
he could cut through any steel safe,
vault or safety apparatus that has yet
been made-do it rapidly and surely.

PRETTY GIRLS SHAKE DICE.
innocent Young High School Maids Pass II
Noon Hour at the Game.

fOrtianu welcome
The Board of Directors or the Prin.
cipal of the High school, probably do
not think that dice-shaking should
form part of the education of the
young misses who attend the institu.
tion. The girls, however, have opin-
ions to the contrary and some of them
are expert in the game Of dice.
Several OF the girls found time hang
ing heavily on their hands during the
noon recess, and for the want Of some
thing else to do they were in the habit
of going to a candy store on Washing
ton street, not far from the school to
buy candy. After awhile they COM

prietor for candy until now every

maidens look so demure and the pro
prietor so guileless, but the dice are
there and the wicked, very wicked

A Harlem woman recently decided
that family prayers were really neces.

young son Johnnie. Mr.. Jenkins,
nominal head of the family, didn't ex-

sofa. Mr.. jenkins at one end, Mrs.
Jenkins at the other and Johnnie in
the middle. Then Mr.. Jenkins offered
up prayer invoking the divine pres

Jenkins prayer was long and fer
vent. After it had continued for five
minutes Johnnie got restless, decided
it was too monotonous and interrupted
in his thin, boyish voice with:
"Yes, bod; come and stay to din

There are in the area to which it ap-

The average condition OF rye is
SSl, as compared with 93.9 on June
1901, S7.6 as corresponding date in
1900, and a ten-year average of 1913.
The year averages are exceeded by
2 points in Michigan and 6 points in
Wisconsin and Nebraska, while the

BOUGHT 4 Husband.

1t is not in the drama alone that
I" A Husband on Hire" is presented as
the leading part. A sensation in real
life is presented by that very generally
acknowledged wide-awake community
OF the Windy city, in late social event.
Miss Rose Guggenheim, the Chicago
heiress, worth 100000 in her own
right, lately paid $4,000 to the young
man OF her choice, the only considera.
ton being that he should marry her
and should care for her children, il
she had any. Thomas G. Fisher, thir.
ty-eight years old, is the young man
who made the trade with her and who
has become her husband. He is man.
ager OF the Gable Company OF Chicago.
Miss Guggenheim is the divorced wife
OF Henry l.. Wineman. She applied
for the license.
After securing the license the couple
went to the courtroom of Judge
Meek, where they made acknowledg.
ment to the ante-nuptial agreement.
The agreement was carefully drawn
up by Chicago attorney, and, stripped
of legal verbiage, was to the effect that
Miss Guggenheim. the bride, should
pay Fisher SIT 900 in cash in consider
alton OF the marriage. The money
was given to the groom without any
conditions or reservation save the
agreement to marry her. The docu.
ment says that the money is given to
Fisher in fee simply to use as he
pleases.
They were married at the home of
mutual friends here. The draft for
the money was on New York bank.

WHAT WE HAVE GAINED.

lessly wrecked" and is ready to act
as sort of volunteer adviser to save
from ruin the organization to which il
will not belong. Such consideration
for the opposition is rare in politics
and we therefore print the Tribune's
first installment OF advice in full:
eff the Democratic party goes be.
fore the people on such an issue-the
surrender ef all we have gained in the
archipelago, and the wiping out of all
we have there at the cost of such ex-
penditure of blood and treasure, it will
be beaten by the people so badly that
it will never recover from the punish
ment administered for proposing such
an absurd scheme and humiliating
thing"
1t will be seen that our Oakland
friend is needlessly perturbed. All
tho political parties on earth could not
find way to surrender all we have
gained in the archipelago" The blood
OF wanton murder is not so easily
wiped out. How, for instance, shall
we get rid Of the forbidding page in
history which. during all time, will
tell how Samar was pacifed?" How
shall we hope to surrender what we
have gained by torturing men whom
we suspected OF sharing in their coun-
try's ambition for independence? How
can any party turn back the bloody
scroll of the last four years and erase
from it the lines written to tell OF the
deceit OF Funston and the awful bar
barity OF Waller, Smith, Bell, Chaffee,
and others like them?
The Tribune need not fear. The
Democratic party will not attempt the
impossible. But it will offer itself
to the American people as the instru.
ment with which they may stop this
frightful campaign for the subjugation
OF people whom our interests and
our sympathies demand should be
made rs free as we are, and as we hope
to continue to be. And on that issue,
the Democratic party will deserve to
win, and will win.

OLYMPIA, WASHNGTON FRIDAY EVENING" JUNE a. 1902

Her wall of despair was followed by
a highsounding speech from a young
bantam rooster, who flew over the
heads of the assemblage, his wings not
being cut. In prancing manner he
set forth the needs of his constituents,
declaring that if they must be packed
for transportation they must have
larger boxes and plenty OF water; also,
that if they must be carried through
the streets to be sold they must be car
ried with their heads up!
"Will the Chairman of the WAYS
and Means Committee please come
forward?"
A noble black horse responded to
this invitation.
Friends, will state briefly the fol-.
lowing suggestions: Literature relat.
ing to our needs and the work of the
Humane Society should be scattered
broadcast to educate the masses in the
beauty of humanity, the public should
be stirred by appeals through the
press to give more generously in order
that more agents may be employed by
the Society, with the power to arrest
and prosecute those who cruelty af.
flict animals. And, friends, we can so
conduct ourselves that through good
behavior and patience we may win
new members and aid for the Society,""
Before closing" said the President.
ait is befitting that we offer resolu-
tions thanking the Humane Society
for the drinking fountains erected in
our behalf-these oases in a desert Of
asphalt, great boon to weary and
thirsty animals, and in some instances,
the only means for many to obtain
water"
Resolutions were also offered in
memory OF those killed through cruel
treatment.
Whereupon the gathering adjourned.

ANCIENT SLANG PHRASES.

Many Of the familiar phrases Of the

Of apple pies every Saturday. which
were to last her family through the

labelling one or more for each day in
the week. The pantry thus arranged
was said to be in apple-pie order.

 One more example among many which can be cited A mine which has paid thousands of dollars in dividends has been obtained by another stock gambling outfit. This mine is now closed down.

WILL BORE FOR
 ARTISAN WATfR

St. Johns. Apache county, people are busy organizing a stock company to bore for hidden treasures. The title of the company has not been decided upon, but its primary object, says Ships, is to prospect for ar1esian wa ter. Water Is the crying need or this corner of the Lords Kingdom. but Ii, IS inferred that if the company's la bors should strike oil or any other valuable commodity here it will not have labored in vain. It seems that Bishop c. P. Anderson is the moving spirit behind the project There are few men who do not have the utmost confidence in the Bishops integrity, and, hence. we dare say the scheme will finally meet with success
 Over $700 has already been sub scribed for stock and the movement is young. It will not take long to raise the necessary money to equip a good outfit and set it in operation.
 The plan of organizing the company IS briefly as follows: There will be l,500 shares par value sl per share The stock will be assessable and as sessments will be made to run the ma chinery. A proper tract of land will be secured by the company and the first well sunk upon it, so that all ci the holders of stock will be benefited equally in the event of finding arte- sian water or other commodity of val ue.
 A meeting will be held in the court house on the ninth of June to perfect plans and elect officers and get ready to go to work
