THUS DID HE WIN.
An Up-to-Date Romance of the Foot
ball Field That Comes out
All Right.

l
This is a tale, vouched for by more
than one person, although for OBJ
vious reasons the names of the hero,
the heroine and the grim and hard
headed rich old papa have been neces-
sarily left out, says the Philadelphia
Evening Telegraph. A certain promi-
nent member of a Frankfort athletic
association, along with other young
men of the town, was enamored of
| the lovely daughter of one of Frank
| ford's wealthy business men.
Now, this young man is not par
| ticularly burdened with this worlds
goods, and among the other suitors
were men of considerably more
wealth. Yet the young woman, with
the peryersity of her sex, favored
him more than the rest. Perhaps it
was his winning ways or his manly,
athletic proportions. At any rate, she
gave him to understand that, so far
as she was concerned, riches would
not stand in the way of their union.
Now, the parent is an enthusiast of
the game. He knew the young man,
was aware that he was a football
player of no mean stripe, and when
he asked for his daughters hand, in
timating delicately that it was for
love alone he sought her, the old
gentleman listened patiently to his |
story. Then, much to the suitor's |
surprise, he answered him thus: go |
and score a couple of goals for our |
team; then come and see me again" |
Highly elated, the young player
bided his time. At last came the |
golden opportunity. One Saturday /
afternoon several weeks ago his team |
was up against a powerful rival.
among his fellow play
ers was the young man. He was o
tower of strength to his team, and
before the game was over in blaze
of glory amid the plaudits Of his
friends, who were little aware of the
stake Tor which he was really play
ing, he sldrted the ends for two
touchdowns, kicking goal. He could
hardly wait TO doff his uniform be-
fore he was at the home of his de
sired one. Succeeding in gaining q
without delay, he right
speedily did make the father ac-
luainted with the result OF the game.
not forgetting to remind him of his
promise.
"And now" said the father. tell
me in what respect you differ from
your rivals in seeking my daughters
land?"
THAT is easily explained" said the
football player, without a moments
hesitation. They loved for gold
while / goaled for love-"
So pleased was the magnate with
he young mans ready answer and
us earnestness that he gave his con-
ent then and there. Thus did the
ootball player, by his wit and good
playing, win his bride and incidentally
fortune of about $4,000 or so.

Ohituau-


On Wednesday, April 30th, Mrs. +. S.
Paine of Bethel, Vt, passed from the
active scenes Of life, at the age of 5S years,
months and 20 days. A husband and
four daughters, Mrs. Roy l.. Persons,
Nellie, Ada and Alice, survive her.
A spirit bright and beautiful was re-
leased from its tenement of clay at the
home of one Of our highly-esteemed and
best known citizens, Mr.. r. 5. Paine, on
Wednesday, April 30th.
And while we feel and know that with
her il is well, " and that rich compensation
for all trials of earth awaits her on the
other and better side of life, yet we can
but feel that the loss is most heavy and
woeful, an irreparable one to the many
who are left behind, both in the home
circle and in the wider range of usefulness
where her life and influence had been con-
ducive to so much good for many years.
She will be missed by the poor and
needy for her beneticence knew no bounds.
Wherever adversely cast its gloom, hearts
were sad, poverty prevailed, and sickness
and death brought sorrow and distress,
It was then and there amid such scenes Of
gloom that her presence was ever like a
sweet benedictiOn as she stood with open
heart and ready hand to give the needed
relief, ana many, very many, acts Of relief
has she freely rendered that have no
record save in the hearts of the recipient
and on the pages of Heavens ledger.
The closing hours Of her earth life were
illumined with the knowledge of a grand
reunion with the loved ones gone before
in the better realm beyond.
They called her from the better land.
And one bright spirit led the way
She saw the angels beck0ning hand.
And felt she could no longer stay.
Oh white ROBBED Peace; thy gentle cross
Gave TO her trusting heart no pain:
And that which Is our earthly loss,
IA unto her eternal gain

TRADES UNIONS and NUM-
ClPAL OWNERSHIP.

Trades unionism has long favored
municipal ownership of the means Of
distribution of water, light and trans
portation, the latter Of course including
both freight and intelligence. While
political economists have contended
solely for the quanititive increase of
wealth. the trades union has and is
contending for higher social ideal
"the attainment of the greatest quanti-
ty, the highest quality and the most
lust distribution of wealth." In the
distribution Of these public necessities
there are found two general methods.
1. Monopoly method, in which the dis
tribution is made by private agencies,
usually by corporations legalized by
legislative enactments, the business be-
ing managed solely with the object of
profit. The charges for the services
rendered being the highest price that
can be exacted from the users, and the
services the poorest that the community
will stand for. 2. Municipal ownership
method, by which the ownership of
means and management of distribution
Is done by the government established
by the people themselves. The officials
in the management are held to account
ability by the people VINO place tnem
in position of trust, and are looked to
for sufficient quantity, the highest
quality and just distribution, and for
a remuneration under one of the follow
Ing three principles. l.. The revenue
principle, by which the government,
aims at giving the best services at
remuneration sufficient to cover all cost
of service and depreciation, and in ad-
dition q profit which Is covered into
the governmental treasury with view
of defraying other expenses Of govern
ment, and incidentally lessening taxes
on other forms Of property. 2. The

The question Of union labor, and its
effect upon trade in the British Isles is
receiving much discussion in the Brit
ish trade papers. The London Times
has begun a war on British trade
unionism, and declares that the deca-
dence in British industry may be laid
on the shoulders of trade unionism. A
workingman writing on the question
has this to say:
II worked for seven years in one OF
the largest and most up-to-date union
shoe factories in America, and also
was employed for some time in large
union boot factory in Scotland. In the
American factory the workers mostly
all work on piece-work, and the best
man is able to make the most wages.
In both the American and Scotch fac
tories there was a considerable number
Of machines in operation, but in the
Scotch factory the men did not do so
many pairs of shoes as the men in the
American factory, although the ma
chimes were just the same. I will take
the lasting machine for comparison.
The lasters in the Scotch factory got
$3.50 a week, and the man that operated
the machine got $1,000 week. 1t took
three lasters to keep the operator and
machine going, and they were able to
put through $50 pairs of boots a day.
In the American factory they had the
same number of men-three lasterS and
one man to operate the machine-but
they were able to put through 43O pairs
Of boots day. The lasters averaged
about $1,000 a week, and the man that
operated the machine about $14.00 Your
readers will notice that the Union Am
ericans have the biggest wages, but
taking into consideration the extra cost
of living in America, it will be found
that the wages of the British workers
compare very favorably with the Am
erican workers. AS regards the output
of work, however, he is not in 1t with
the American worker. OF course,
don't say the union men here could not
do as much work as the union men in
America, but the unions here will not
allow him to do so; they would rather
stick to their "ca'-canny" policy and
let the Americans flood our country
with their boots and shoes, while our
months out of the twelve. The en-
ployers here are also to blame. They
ought to have their factories equipped
with all the latest and best appliances,
for at the present day they are at least
ten years behind the Americans in their

The working people Of the state are
perfectly satisfied with the administra-
ton Of the affairs of his office, and are
more interested in his retention at his
present post.
The state has a greater claim upon
him than the working people of Mime

Clerks Union IL Instrumenta1 in
Inducing Merchants to Shorten
HOurs-St0res Close Every Nixht
at 6 O'Clock, Excepting Saturday,
Are Entitled to the Union Card.
Union Men should Support Them.

The clerks have aroused from their
long slumber. Hereafter they mean
business Every union man in Duluth
should now rush to their support and
patronize only such stores as display
the union card.
The local union held rousing meet
asm was manifested on account of the
early closing movement of the cloth
ing and shoe stores, which has just
been inaugurated.
Local merchants, through the efforts
of the Clerks union, have fallen into
a new metropolitan movement The
union has been working to bring this
about for some time and now many
of the largest stores in the city are in
line. The schedule calls for closing up
every evening at 6 o'clock, instead Of
$50 as in the past, and at 10:30 on Sat-
urday night instead of II. 1t has also
been the custom to keep open until 8
o'clock on Monday evening, but this
will be done away with. The move
ment was inaugurated Tuesday with
the following we'll known business
houses observing it: NJ s. Burrows,
w. J. Suffel & Co., Phillips & Co., the
Famous shoe store and A. Wieland.
The following committee of the
Clerks union has been in charge Of the
movement: Frank Blodgett, George
Mason and H. J. Pierson. In return
for the early closing agreement the
union will give a card to the several
store proprietors declaring their places
thoroughly union. This card will be
exhibited in the show windows. The
committee expect all the stores of the
city to join In the movement, at least
all those of prominence.
1t is argued that but little business
is done after o'clock and that this
could be easily brought in earlier when
the public learn of the new hour for
closing.
Said a member of the Clerks union
Wednesday: 1.-THE merchants are meet
ing the moyement in liberal way, and
within 30 days we will have every store
on Superior street closed up at 6
o'clock every evening with the excep-
tion Of Saturday. Two other establish
ments have signified their intention of
joining the movement. We have run
short of store cards for the present"
