The Chicago Creek resort is no
more. Judge Whiting and Marshall
ORourke put quietus to the reign
last Monday.
Ed Corbett, who has been making
his home up there for the last four
months, was sentenced to six months
in the county Jail. Mrs. Greye, the
landlady, was fined $50 and costs;
Myrtle Burdette, an inmate, was fined
$25 and costs, and Hazel Wood es-
capped by promising to leave the city.
All three of the women left Tuesday
morning with the promise that they
would not return. Corbett is serving
out the sentence imposed.
There was lively doings at the Chi
cago Creek resort last Saturday after
noon. People for a distance of half
a mile each way witnessed the dis
graceful proceedings, and the in
mates carried on in such manner
that it became necessary for the land
lady, Mrs. Greye, to send for Marshal
O'Rourke and Night Watchman Libby.
Mrs. Greye and her two daughters,
Myrtle and Hazel, are the occupants
of this resort. They have been there
for the last eight months and during
that time there has been any amount
of complaint as to the manner in
which operations were carried on. On
one occasion the city council voted
unanimously that this eblace must be
closed, but the occupants only lent a
deaf ear to the demand.
The trouble started about $50 in
the afternoon. Miss Myrtle and her
lover, Ed Corbett, young fellow who
is better known as Young Corbett,
had been to the city, and when they
returned they were loaded down with
firewater. Both carried a glorious
jag, and at the same time a dignified
one. They were not in condition to
allow anyone to make fun of them,
and as for being reprimanded, why
that was simply out of the question.
No sooner had they arrived at the
PROMISES ludu luc ulOlnSI plOCCCuSu
to upbraid her daughter for her fool
ish actions. She ordered Young Cor
bett to leave the premises and never
return. Then the trouble started
proper. Myrtle seized her mother and
proceeded to hand her few upper
cuts. Hazel tried to protect the
mother and Young Corbett seized a
chair and made for the scene of COM
bat. He landed his weapon across the
face of Mrs. Greye. with the result that
her face was cut under the eye and
across the nose. By this time Hazel
was bombarding Young Corbett, and
Myrtle went to the assistance of her
lover. She grabbed Hazel by the hair
of the head and dragged her outside

the house. There it was that Hazel
set up an unearthly howl and some
passers-by at once came to the city
and notified the authorities.
When Marshal O'Rourke reached
the seat of war things had quieted
down somewhat, but the smoke of bat
tie had not entirely disappeared. Cor
bett was walking around as proud as
a peacock, and declared that he was
the master of the situation. 1t did
not take him long to learn otherwise,
because the marshal took a hand and
when the finale came Corbett and
Myrtle were in the city jail. There
they remained until Monday morning
when they were taken before Magis-
trate Whiting.
Siftings has called the attention of
the city authorities to the disgraceful
actions of the denizens of this joint
so often that it appears to be waste
of words to say anything further.
Every resident of this city knows that
the law is being violated, and ninety
nine per cent. of these residents are
willing and anxious that the law
should be invoked in a stern manner
to rid the community of this disgrace
full resort. Across the road from
where this house of ill-repute stands
is the sacred resting ground where
the dead are buried. Many of these
citizens have friends and relatives
who are buried there, and it is a
shame that this joint has not long ago
been compelled to close its doors. Lit
tie children, just growing into woman
hood, are compelled to pass this place
and the actions of the members of the
shack would cause gray-haired people
to blush with shame. 1t was only
ew days ago that two little girls. not
over twelve years of age, were seen
peeping in at the windows at the
house. They had seen the girls run
ming around the premises and were
quite naturally curious as to what the
inside looked like.
1t is stated that Mrs. Greye does
oot own the ground upon which the
cabin stands and that the owner noti-
led her that he would not tolerate the
nuisance.
No one questioned the assertion that
the Chicago Creek joint was a house
of ill-repute. The only question was
how could it be proven. No one vol
unteered to give testimony regarding
the same and thus the city marshal
and city attorney were hampered.
But after the disgraceful proceed
ings which were carried on last Sat
urday afternoon the good citizens of
this community demanded that the
place be forever closed, and that at
once.

condition of the local markets yesterday
Wholesale grocers were fairly busy There

market is looked for. Prices continue hrm
but no higher. Dried fruits are moving
freely and prices are steady. but tropical
fruits are more slow, and dealers are not
expecting much until the weather becomes

fair, but there was no rush. In the last TWO
days delayed orders were cleaned up TO
some extent, the weather admitting OF

firm at the prices named, and the same
remark will apply to poultry, receipts be-

prices on poultry, eggs and butter prop
ably will decline. The hide market shows
little more activity, but there is no I'M

thorough acquaintance with all foreign Ian
guages, especially French. is expected OF
every prince Of the historical house. The
mapping of their hours OF work for every
day is made very carefully beforehand. and
the classes at which they must be present
are mentioned Almost TO moment every
thing Is regulated with military precision.
Besides their intellectual training, the
young princes have TO be developed from
physical point of view.
The Emperor's children also cultivate the
arts. The crown prince and his next brother
learn the violin and the piano. A sergeant
major drills the younger princes every day
and an hour a day is devoted TO riding.
From their earliest years the children are
put on ponies and learn at once TO mount
horse bareback William II superintends
these lessons in person. because of his love
Of horses and his exceptional skill as a
hOrseman.
The young princess. of course, comes
more directly under the supervision of the
Empress. That she will be taught to paint,
10 play the piano and will be instructed in
the usual feminine requirements can be
taken for granted. She will also no doubt
learn more prosaic things, as the selection
and supervision of the making OF her own
wardrobe. a work which the Empress gives
her personal attention.

New Powerful HeadIight.

practical demonstration of the utility
of departure which, it is claimed by
railway officials. will effectively prove the
solution in a large degree of the railway
collision problem, was made Wednesday
night on the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul Railroad near Chicago. The device
consists of an exceedingly powerful head
light, which not only perfectly Eliminates
the track with an intensely brilliant shaft
of light for a distance of a mile, but also
embraces the striking and novel feature Of
a beam of light of almost equal brilliancy
penetrating over 200 feet above, which can
be clearly seen ten miles distant 1t is
thereby possible for approaching trains to
absolutely locate each other by this vertical
shaft OF light, though miles apart, and it is
this feature which railroad officials claim
will eliminate the possibility of collision.
This vertical beam will, in billy country
especially, where curves in the track are
numerous, so positively fix the location of
trains that nothing but carelessness on the
part of engineers Will permit a collision.
The apparatus consists of a powerful cleo
trlc arc headlght, dynamo and steam
motor, all of which occupy the space on the
locomotive usually devoted to the head
light.
One of the heaviest passenger engines on
the Chicago, Milwaukee q st. Paul Rail-
way, especially equipped with this head
light drew train out of Chicago Wednes-
day night and practical demonstration of
the working apparatus was given, under
the supervision of Charles w. Adams, for
merly assistant general passenger agent of
the Pennsylvania system. At a distance of
half a mile the telegraph poles and frame
work of the semaphOres were clearly de-
fined, while the trackbed itself was dis
tinctly visible for one mile. Straight above
the locomotive a shaft of light as thick as
a mans body penetrated the darkness and
persons posted ten miles reported that it
was clearly distinguishable. This is en- en-
tirely new departure in headlight illumina-
ton and railway signals 1t is further pro-
posed TO convey signals of distress or other
communications when trouble occurs be-
tween telegraph points by use of colored
glass to color the vertical ray of light.
Among those aboard the special were H. r.
Williams, general manager of the c.. NJ &
St. P; G. j. Underwood assistant general
manager; G. W. Woodward, general super
intendent; +. a. Miller. general passenger
agent. and j. +. Gibson. division superin-
tendent 1t was their unanimous opinion
that the headlight was thoroughly practical
and would become one of the future requf-
sites i'm raiirOading.

General and Personal Notes.

Financiers interested in the Pennsylvania
lines claim that the management never dis
burses a dollar in dividends without put
ting another dollar of the current earnings
back into Improvement of the property,
and it is said to be largely due to this man
agement that the Pennsylvania has been
able to pay cash dividends 10 it's stockhold-
ers uninterruptedly for nearly fifty years.
The New York Commercial Advertiser
says: THE tons carried since 1865 increased
over 1900 per cent, while the ton miles in
creased over $500 per cent. and the earn
ngs from s12. 227, 49O to $64, $3.50, 452. No better
example could be given of the axiom that
self-interest alone forces railroads TO give
the public the benefit of every possible de-
crease in rates, for whatever loss the rail-
roads sustain in the lower rates is more
than offset by the increased traffic move
ment thereby made possible. The fact
that the Pennsylvania Railroad has been
able TO reduce it's average expenses per ton
mile from 2.S47 cents in 1865 to O.S64 cents in
1900 has been largely due to the liberal
manner in which it has used current earn
ings for the Improvement and betterment
of its property. There is not another rail-
road company of anything like its size in
the country which has been more liberal in
this respect, which has more consistent
ly continued this policy through good and
bad years alike. In a recent analysis of
New York Central it was shown that dur
ing the last two years 900 Of the cur
rent earnings of that company had been
used for extraordinary betterments and i'm
provements. While this is a good showing,
yet IL cannot compare with that made by
the Pennsylvania Railroad or any of it's
controlled properties. Increased operating
efficiency and capacity enabled the COM
pany TO reduce expenses per ton mile 1883
cents in thirty-fve years. More than the
entire benefit of this decrease was given to
the public, as shown by the decrease Of
2115 cents in the tOn-mile rate during the

Emperor William of Germany has very
positive ideas on all subjects concerning
the affairs of his realm and of his house
hold He is a strict disciplinarian, even
with his children, and according to report
he has not spared the royal rod on oc-
casion. There is, however, a softer side to
the Emperors nature, as the illustration
shows. The Emperor, with all his apparent
severity, is essentially a family man and
- most devoted to his wife and children.
He is particularly fond of his young daugh-
ter, Victoria Louise, born in 1892. She is
the EmperOr's only daughter and came
couple. Recently work was published on
the personal side of the Emperor'S life

The Commission Question Again.

Lake steamship lines and the railroads
are engaged in a struggle over the pay
ment of commissions, which is likely to
sever the friendly relations that have
hitherto existed between them. secret
meeting was held in Chicago yesterday at
which were representatives of the passen-
ger departments of nearly all the Western
and Eastern lines and of all steamship
lines The railroad men insisted that the
payment of commissions by steamship lines
should cease, and the threat was made that
if it did not the railroads would withdraw
their connections with the lake transporta-
ton companies. This would mean that the
ticket offices throughout the country would
throw out the tickets of the lake lines and
refuse to sell them. That this would be
severe blow to the lake lines is admitted.
The general passenger agents, it is said,
are standing firm on the proposition, and
assert that the payment of commissions
must cease. Neither side thus far has
given ground. and the matter rests where
il was previous TO the meeting. The repre-
sentatives of the lake lines insist that as
their season is short and competition is
sharp they must pay commissions or fail
to get living business.

STRENUOUS LIFE OF CLERKS.

Clerks of the office of the Board of

with terror yesterday. Yesterday morning
E. NJ. Hays, who gives his residence at 30
North New Jersey street, walked into the
board office to ask some questions about
smallpox Clerk Carter took one look at

The office force had hardly got over their

the paralyzing effects of the formaldehyde
when they were subjected TO a fright even
more wearing on the nerves. One of the
new inspectors appeared at the door lead
ing colCred man whose face and hands
bore nasty evidence of the nature of his
trouble Seeking information as to his
disposal, the inspector had brought him TO
the board office through the corridors of
the CITY Hall. When his blOtched face
appeared at the door the clerks ran for
cover Carter. however, again got out the
souirter and used il with effect. The Of
