Senator Hoar from the committee on judiciary reported bill month ago that contained this excellent pro- vision:
 Shall be deemed criminal, nor shall those engaged therein be indicatable or otherwise punishable for the crime of conspiracy. if such act committed by one person would not be punishable as crime; nor shall such agreement. combi- nation, or contract be considered as in restraint of trade or commerce.; nor shall any restraining order or injunction be issued with relation thereto.
 This would have stopped govern ment by injunction altogether, and it was eminently satisfactory to all who wished return to the principles of liberty that prevailed before the trusts secured a grip upon public affairs.
 As soon as the Hoar bill was re- ported the trusts set their agents at work, and the result is an amendment from the Senate judiciary committee as follows:
 The court shall find that the combina- tion has for its purpose the occasioning of injury to the property or business of the complainant or is likely to result in such injury, nor except such purpose be proved to the satisfaction of the court or the court find that such is likely to be the effect.
 Senator Hoar and all the rest of the Republicans have backed out of their original position at the dictation of the trusts. It is but another illus tration of the plain fact that this gov ernment is now conducted by the trusts for the trusts.
 The amendment really does not change the situation. It permits sub servient courts to aid the trusts as fully as they do at present, and the labor union leaders say that no bill is better than one amended in the manner proposed.
 The labor unions say that as an act by one person is not illegal, so an act by hundred persons should not be considered illegal, but the trusts are in power, and they say that any ac- tion by organized labor in a strike is illegal, and they have no trouble in finding courts that will carry out their decrees. The trusts are in power, and Mark Hanna is their prophet and general executive officer.

Papa'S Arrival Was Timely.

A little girl at East End, who is wont
to take refuge in the protecting arms
of her father when her mothers ire is
up and trouble is pending, almost
missed her haven the other night Her
mother and she had gone up stairs for
the night, leaving the father in the
reading room below. In the prepara-
tions for retiring the little girl dis
obeyed her mother and trouble was
imminent. "Ill just switch you, little
lady" remarked the mother. In an in
start the little girl rushed to the door
and screamed for her father to come up
at once. The obedient father got up
the stairs in about three steps, and as
he entered the room the angered moth

ern Yankee is no 1aggard in rearing
broad arms of the sea. While the
eagles of the Caesars were carried in
triumph from Persia to Scotland, from
the Baltic to the great desert of Africa,
stately and majestic indeed were the
stone arches of the empire. But there
were no tunnels of any scope among
the ancients. This will be century
of such tunnels and such bridges also,
as the world has never yet known. The
Titanic structures of the Old World
amazed the centuries, but this prac-
tical generation is not content with
primeval methods. The catacombs of
this era are not used for burial; the
wide, deep long galleries are not dug
out for the dead, but for the living.
The twentieth century will tunnel
many of the chief rivers of the world
wherever the interests of civilization
can be advanced by the opening of
such caverns far below the currents of
famous streams. The tunnels under
the Alps are colossal undertakings, but
every one of them has ample reason
for the vast expenditure and the pro-
digious labor required. And the mar
vels and miracles of the most adven-
turous engineering of the past will
surely be excelled by the triumphs of
the engineering of the future.

dear here in winter, outdoor work is
at a standstill and steerage rates

easy to work hard under rough con-

world, enjoying the fruits of that la

the Italian nature particularly. So the
emigrant ships are thronged both
ways these days, and it is good to be
a shipmaster in the Italian trade.
Westward the steamers bear the green
horns, glad to come to the land of gold
at any season, even at a time when
work is scarce, and one must struggle
along under hard conditions, and wait
for better days. Eastward sail the
home-goers to lounge away the days
among their own folks and to spend
their American-earned dollars in home
pleasures, till the sun climbs high
again, ard it is time to return west

Sanitarium of Glass.

DR.. John V, Shoemaker, president of
the municipal department of charities
and correction and a member of the
faculty of the Medico-Chirurgical col
lege, has secured from the city council
of Philadelphia an appropriation of
$4,000 with which he expects to build
eight one-story glass houses on a sew
en-acre tract of land adjoining the
almshouse, where consumptive patients
will live in an atmosphere of ozone
generated by powerful electric appli-
ances similar to the rarified air of high
mountains. The framework of the pa
vilions will be constructed of steel and
the walls and roof Will be of glass.
Each pavilion viii be equipped with
the latest devices for maintaining a
regular temperature. Ventilation of
the glass houses will be an easy prob
lem, the glass walls and roof being in
sections and of pivotal construction. so
they may be opened or closed at will.

Italians Find 1t Cheaper to Go Home
Than Pay Rent.
There is one period of the year when
the great tide of immigration Gibbs and
the outflowing stream is almost equal
to that still pouring in from Europe
to New York. December is the time,
says the New York Sun. At any of
the railroad stations when the trains
come in from the West and South you
can now see on two days week liv-
ing illustration of the axiom that it is
cheaper to move than to pay rent, for
on these two days, the days on which
the Italian steamers sail, there throng
into New York parties of dark-skinned
1aborers who are going to move across
the ocean for the winter months, and
will spend Christmas and New Years
under their own sunny Italian skies.
They are almost all men, and the ma
jority are young. They carry all their
worldly possessions in tarpaulin bun
die slung over the shoulder on the
spade with which they have earned a
years living on new railroad embanR-
ments, in cuttings and excavations
here, and they are leaving few regrets
behind. They came here poor and they
are going back rich to spend their
earnings and return in the spring
empty-handed again, to make more.

significance. 1t is deplorable, but none
the less true, that the veneration with
which the white man used to be re-
garded by the native is rapidly declin-
ing, especially in large towns like Cal
cutta, where the European population
is composed of almost every stratum
of society. Moreover, the freedom
which western nations allow to their
womankind is wholly repugnant to the
Oriental idea, and the spectacle of an
English girl selling spirituous liquors,
a trade which among the natives of
India is relegated to the very lowest
castles, is one which tends still further
to lower the "izzat,' the reputation Of
the dominant race. The Oriental is
slow to move; the inborn prejudices Of
a thousand generations can not be up

What is the lion of St Marks laugh
ing at? 1t is one Of the most cele-
brated animals in the world. Although
they call it lion it does not resemble
the orthodox king of beasts any more
than any other geological monstrosity.
Its head is small and it's mouth is
large. very large, and is stretched in
an all-comprehending grin.
The front paws of this historical
beast are resting upon the pages of an
open book, and perhaps something he
read there provoked the expression of
amusement he has worn for nine cen
turies.
Between the palace and the old mint
on the Piazza of St Mark. Venice, are
two monolith pillars of oriental gran
ite, brought to Venice nearly 1000
years ago from some unknown source
in the East. The Doge Michieli, who
is supposed to be responsible for them,
was famous for his conquests in Syria
and Egypt, and along the African coast
and these were trophies of his vaior.
One is red granite and the other is
gray. Upon the top of the former is
a marble statue of st. Theodore, the
original protector of the republic, who
stands upon the back of a badly made
alligator or crocodile, holding a sword
in his left hand and a shield in his
right. Nobody has ever been able to
explain the significance of the croco-
dile in a satisfactory manner, and for
that reason some writers have de-
clared that the group was intended
for st. George and the dragon. But
that is of no consequence. The gray
column is more important, for it bears
empty eyesockets, which formerly held
the famous lion with outspread wings,
priceless rubies, and the almighty grin.
This lien is older than history. No
body knows where it came from or

selected by Mr. Gates to build his

plans on original lines, the spirit of
which, as he says, 'is distinctly Am

combine simplicity Of composition and
color with the essentially practical
qualities.
The location demands a spacious
window effect on the front in order
to take advantage of the beautiful
view of the Orange Valley below and
New York city in the distance, there
fore much attention has been given to
the window treatment, loggias, bal
comics, etc. Over the main entrance

Chicago Architect Designs House for New York MAJ,

Chicago has been called commercial,
sordid, materialistic, inartistic, and
unappreciative of the finer things of
life by the east ever since she started
to take away the business from the
east.
Chicago stood it because she was
too busy to care. But now she has
started to furnish the east with ar
tistic ideas. Dan Hanna when he de-
cided to build his country palace last
summer, got an architect from Chicago
instead Of New York to draw up his
plans, although he is midway between
the two cities.
And now F. T. Gates, who ia to put
up a $125,0oO country house next
spring at Montclair, N. j., has come to
Chicago for his architect, although
New York city was just across the
river.

date number of women will be
thrown out of employment. The result
is a widespread agitation. The number
of barmaids in Calcutta has consider
ably increased in recent years. In the
majority of cases they are brought out
from England by the hotel and bar
proprietors under contract for a term
of years, generally three. The loss to
them of a means of livelihood is to be
deplored, but as they are entitled to a
passage back to England it does not
entail the facilis descensus Averni that
the more violent among the agitators
predict. The correspondence columns
of the Calcutta Press show that their
sympathizers are numerous, but they
further show that the sympathy,
though doubtless merited, is the out
come of a very erroneous impression
regarding the reasons upon which the
prohibition is founded. The measure
is one, in fact, of considerable political
