 JOHN DOE DRUNK-John Doe, d scion of the American branch of the great Doe family, was arrested yester- day afternoon by the police on the charge of drunkenness. They followed him through various streets and alleys and finally picked him up on the city plaza. His conditions was bordering on dellrium tremens and both his conduct and his language were wild. He was attired only in pants, undershirt and overcoat. The outer garment was not exactly an overcoat- either, as it was q sort of a double garment, coat with cape, the coat having no sleeves and being lined with blue velvet. It looks very much like the cloaks adorning the heroes in pictures illustrating the stories of colonial days. The police are not sure but they have in custody some compatriot of Captain John Smith who refused to die when his permit to live ran out.
 ANARCHY FROWNED UPON.- Last Saturday an incident occurred in Yuma which demonstrated that the people have not forgotten the cowardly murder of, President Mckinley one year ago, and further, that anarchistic acts will not be tolerated. The Sentinel says a painter who had only been in town fer a few weeks, went into the Old Plantation saloon, and sec ing large portrait of the la mented president on the wall, went up close to the picture and plunged his knife through it, uttering a curse as he did so, and saying: You got just what you deserved. In a very few minutes the fellow realized that he was in about the warmest predicament that he had even been into in his life. He was not injured, but he was hustled out of the place, and in short order he was es- corted to the outskirts oi the town, given a bottle of water and some en- phatic advice, and told to git" He went east and has not been heard of since. He had a contract for painting the school house, and 1t is said a little money was due him on the work, but it is rot likely that he will return to get it, as he was badly scared, and with some reason.

The congestion of population in cities
is not peculiar to this country alone,
though it is probably more marked
here than elsewhere. 1t has prevailed
in Great Britain, but has been less no
ticeable on the continent. 1t is inter

lent. generally speaking, where COM

walls The growth of the German capt.
tai, Berlin, for one example, has been
exceptionally rapid-for the continent
since German industrial activity set
in within recent years Until a dozen
or fifteen years ago it was rather a
sleepy city, even after the consolida-
ton of the empire. but by 1900 it had
advanced to 1.S43000 population and
stood fourth among the worlds cities,

been taken and it now numbers 1901

about 10000 per year. This rate has
been surpassed in Chicago and no
doubt this city now ranks fourth in
the world 1t is curious fact that
of the four cities of the world the pop

radius of twenty-five miles around the

development of street railway lines
has checked the congestion or rather

Speaking of the disturbance the Rus
sian students are making, the Pail
Mall Gazette remarks: After all, it is
the younger generation knocking at
the door, and if the door is not opened
it stands a good chance of being
kicked in" The Russian police, in
other words, are wrestling with the
incOrrigible. No doubt the police
would sooner deal with Anarchists or
Nihilists, whose heads they could bat
ter and whose lives they could shorten
without exciting the animosty of any
one except the professional King-kill-
err; but the gentlemen at st. Peters
burg say to the police: Go ahead! Put
down that rebellion and the police
must either obey or resign. The sever
ity of their task may be understood
by imagining the police of Cambridge
and of New Haven trying to suppress
the indignation of the students at Yale
and Harvard-and at Radcliffe, in adj
dition. For we read that the young
women of the Russian universities are
as eager for reform as are the young
hltll, anu tlidl tuty SuueI just as luuCu
in their eagerness Now it is an ex-
traordinarily serious thing for any
government to be openly at war with
its young men and young women
with the younger generation. In a
spirit of fun or in moment of reck-
less enthusiasm our own college stu
dents may lightly mock some munich
pal ordinance; but as for defying the
police, and through them the officials
OF the government, and as for being
logged into submission and bundled
into Jail by the scOre-that's a matter
of darker hue. 1t seems that all those
who represent Russian youth in the
arts and the sciences are in state OF
seditiOn. We fancy that Nicholas and
his coadjutors are not giving all theil

Economical nature were not tolerated.
But now the young girl looks with a
critical eye upon the cooks prepara-

when these do not turn out well.
Through her the family has lost much
of its pathetic dependence upon the

dition is robbed of half its terrOrs

ability within the family circle. And
the effect upon the pupil herself is
most beneficial. for only one who has
grown brain-weary of figures and
dates knows the delight of mixing up
actual ingredients and awaiting ma
terial results. 1t is also much to be
hoped that the training of amateur
cooks will cause those who consider
themselves professionals to look to
their laurels and to give over the hit
