A Desperate Man.

Julian Cooper, of Breck street, in
dulged in liquor yesterday, and it is
only due to his unsteady aim that he is
not accused of a very serious crime to-
day. He arrived home about noon, in
toXicated, and began to abuse his wife
and children. They sought refuge with
Charles Aylsworth. who resides oppo-
site. He followed them and continued
to ill-use them, when he was remon-
strated with by Aylsworth.
This made him furious, and he struck
viciously at Aylsworth, who is his
brother-in-law, and quite small man.
After receiving a severe beating, Ayls-
worth managed to get away and start
ed upstairs to get out of harm's way.
Cooper drew a revolver and fired at the
fleeing man. Fortunately the shot went
wide and Aylsworth escaped.
A telephone call for officers was sent
to police headquarters, and the patrol
wagon proceeded to the scene about 4
o'clock, but in the meantime Cooper
had secured a miners lamp and en-
tered the mine workings nearby. AS he
carried loaded revolver and knew the
workings perfectly it was decided not
to pursue him underground A war;
rant will be issued for his arrest.

CIVILIZING TIE INDIANS.
Orders For the Males 10 Have Their
Hair Cut-Paipting Faces and
Holding Dances Prohibited.

The missioner of Indian affairs
has issued an order which in effect
ccmpels all male Indians in the United
States TO have their hair cut frequent
~, or at least not to wear it long, and
as the Carlisle football team is not ex-
cepted the order probably applies to
them, too. Commissioner Jones hopes
by the order to assist the wards of the
government in their Advancement to-
ward Civilization, says the Washington
report.
The order is addressed to the various
Indian agents throughout the country,
and directs them to induce the male
Indians under their charge to cut their
hair, using force only when necessary.
He says that it will require consid-
cradle tact and perseverance to carry
out the order, and suggests the with
holding of supplies from recalcitrant
Indians until they comply, and the dis
charge of those who are employed by
the government unless they appear
with shorn locks. No long-haired Indi-
ans are to be employed.
1f'any Indian "becomes obstreperous
about the matter" short confinement
in the guardhouse after clipping their
hair, he thinks, will effect a cure.
The order also prohibits Indians of
both sexes from painting their faces
and forms, holding of dances and So
called Indian feasts, and directs the
agents to encourage the Indians in
adopting citizens clothing instead of
the Indian costume and blanket. The
agents are also directed to report TO
the commissioner before June 30 what
progress they have made in the sup
preston of the evils.

THE ENGLISH KINGS WINE.
store of Each of Edwards
Palaces.

One result of the accession of Ed
ward VII. to the throne of England,
which should be of interest to con-
noisseurs of wine. is that it has be-
come necessary to prepare new labels
for the kings wine, one for each
palace. The new labels bear the royal
crown, the initials "E. r." and the
name of the palace as windsor cas-
tie" These will be placed on all
the wine purchased for the future,
but the old labels on the wine laid
down in the last reign will not be
disturbed, for they are an interest
ing testimony of age, says London
paper.
The late queen had two labels, the
one with "V. r." on it she used
throughout the early part of her
reign and the one with "V. r. l." was
made after the royal titles act. Wine
which bears the former label must
have been in the royal cellars for
over 20 years. Similarly the wine in
the cellars at Marlborough house is
all marked with a label bearing the
prince of Wales feathers, the initials
"P. W." and the name Marlborough
house" This will not be disturbed,
and in view of future contingencies
no new label will be introduced. An
other popularity of the royal cellars
which is worth noticing is the fact
that the bottles of champagne bear
no label but the royal label. This is
due to the fact that the wine is
brought in hogsheads from the man
ufacturer and bottled in the royal
cellars.

ated. It would seem, then, that the
prolific gifts TO universities and colleges
have for their purpose the advancement
of few to the disadvantage of the
many. This may strike one as queer
but it is So Mr.. Carnegie, for instance,
burdened By tremendous wealth, sought
TO distribute much of it for the public
good. He was confronted with a
complex problem hard to solve He
faced the task, however, courage
ously aud brought into play good, com
mon sense and it is our opinion that in
the distribution of his surplus money
through the means Of public Libraries he
has done much to broaden education be
cause it made the rich and the poor
equal beneficiaries Of his thought and
generosity. a library is an educational
institution and public library is equal
" the property Of the proletarian rs the
patrician. Now, in this particular in
stance Mr. Carnegie did that which
helps civilization in no uncertain way.
But we have n.illionares still pouring
out vast sums to educational institutions
which are restricted in the good they
can accomplish If these rich men wish
to give or leave money for education is
there not better way Of giving il than
making their wealth over 10 colleges or
universities? What would be the mat
ter, for instance, if Mr. Carnegie, or J.
Pierpont Morgan or some other rich
man establishing a fund, for instance, in
towns like Manitowoc Of 800, 900 in
vested in paying securities so that
bright but impoverished young men
c )uld use the income from it for their
advanced education? Let once fund
b. created and controlled by responsible
men Of a community, and then let the
youth within given radius win from
the income, by work accomplished in
the common schools that which would
pay for their collegiate or university
C purse Such fund would stimulate |
and popuarize higher education every
where and would guarantee to the best !

development Let no one forget that |
the future prosperity Of this country lies
dormant in the brain of the country lad |
In the country school house Of today

wealthy man in his desire TO further
higher education give such boys the
