the Time he is throwing Substitutes down
and biting them on the Arm"
Buchanan and his trembling Parent sat at
the edge of the Gridiron and watched the
Carnage for a while. Buchanan explained
that it was merely Friendly Practice.
That Evening the Son said, Father, you
can stay only a Little While and 1 want
to give you a Good Time while you are
here. Come with us. We are going down
to the Opera House to put a Show on the
Bum. One of the first things we learn at
College is to kid the Troupers. 1t is con-
sidered Great Sport in these Parts. Then.
If any one gets Punched, we tear down
the Jail, thereby preserving the Traditions
of dear old Alma Mater"
Does the Faculty permit you to be
guilty of Disorderly Conduct?" asked the
Parent.
ANY one who goes against the Faculty
single-handed is a Fink" replied Buchanan.
I'VE travel 800 in a Bunch, so that when
the Inquest is held there is no way of find
ing out just who it was that landed the
Punch. Anything that happens in a Col
lege Town is an Act of Providence. Now
come along and see the American Youth at
Play"
They found their way to the Temple of
Art. When the Chemical Soubrette started
in to sing Hello, Central, give me
Heaven they gave her just the Oppo-
site of what she was demanding. A few
Opera Chairs were pulled up by the Roots
and tossed on the Stage, merely to dis
concert the Artistic. When the House Po-
liceman came he was hurled 30 Feet into
the Air and soon after that the Show
broke up. The Student Body f1ocked out
and upset a Trolley Car. and then they
went homeward in the Moonlight singing,

Fathers Hat was caved in and he was

observe that the Boys were a trife Bolster
Gus when they got a Fair Start.
"Oh, yes. but they don't Mean anything
by it," explained Buchanan.
II hope they will explain that to the
House Policeman as soon as they get him
to the Hospital" said the Parent. Other
wise, he might misconstrue their Motives"
Next Day, when he went back, he told
Mother not TO worry about Buchanan as
he seemed to have a full and sympathetic

apparently without a purpose. He had no
grudge to satisfy. he reaDed no advantage
and he walked smilingly of to the nearest

whole business. OF course the motive was

Broadmoor. whenever he had seen an an
nouncement of a vacancy there he had ap-
piled. But however eminent he may have
been as a toxicologist. he had no reputa-
ton and no experience in the treatment of
insanity, and he was unsuccessful. His OBJ
ject in getting to Broadmoor was to show
in the persons OF the patients there that
the physical change which is supposed to
take place in all of us in the course Of
seven years implies a shifting of moral re-
sponsibility. II isn't worth while to inquire
into a madman's logic. but since he was
not allowed to demonstrate his crazy theory
in the case of other people he undertook to
prove IL in his own. He chose his victim
and chose his prison. and volunteered for
lifelong Imprisonment, with a chance of
hanging by the way. simply out of en-
thusiasm for his scientific craze.
"His friends dug him out somehow. He
is just as sane as ever he was and just as
mad as ever he was to-day. His family
watch him like a tribe of lynxes. But what

them?'

as much about that question as any man
alive, said, ITEMS" L said nothing.

QUESTION SETTLED.
Workingmen Should Eat Less and
Save More.

Workingmen Should Eat Less and
Save More.
Well, the method of settling the labor
question il now no longer in doubt. In
an address at Hartford, Conn.,, Judge
S! E. Baldwin, professor in Yale Law
School, said American workingmen eat
too much and save too little OF their
earnings. He said a single. workman
earning $3.50 per day, should save 20
cents of that amount, and should never
marry until he had accumulated $lO0
in reserve for an emergency. Judge
Baldwin declared he was convinced that
Workingmen eat too much meat and
not enough fruit. Two meals a day
should do them. Besides this, the
learned judge asserted, the American
toiler spends too much money on dress
and on the furnishing Of his home.
There you have it: Quit eating and
save your money. Go about in rags
and live in any sort Of a dog-kennel,
and save more money. Whatever will
become Of those who produce and
handle foodstuffs, clothing, houses,
furnishings, etc., cuts no Ice. Judge
Baldwin is a great political economist.
He deserves promotion and ought to be
appointed chief lecturer for the Fiji
Islands or the backwoods districts In
the Philippines, where the inhabitants
eat enthusiastically and care little for
houses, furnishings or clothing. he is
a wonder, by thunder!

TRADES ASSEMBLY,
Nothing of Importance Transacted ed
at the Last Meeting.


at the Last Meeting.
The Trades Assembly met as usual
last Friday evening at the Kalamazoo
building. President Dworschak was in
the chair ready to press any import
ant business. 1t, however, failed to ap-
pear and nothing more than the routine
was transacted. Regans bread came in
for roast from the Bakers union. The
secretary was instructed to correspond
with the Minneapolis Bakers union
relative to the standing Of Regan's
bakery with the union.
The secretary was also ordered to
write to the senators from Minnesota
petitioning them to support the elec-
trical workers union in it's opposition to
an inspection bill now pending before
congress.
Considerable discussion was brought
out on the duties of the financial Sec
retary. Some of the delegates con-
tended that he should notify the Sec
retaries of the unions when they are
in arrears for dues. The chair ruled,
however, that notice to the delegates
was sufficient.

AMAzES THE WoRLD
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP IN EARTH'S
GREATEST METROPOLIS.
1t IL Rapidly Growing in FavOr-Far
Ahead of American Cities-Public
Baths Get Large Patronage.
40 Municipal Libraries, Street
Lights and Labor Bureaus All
Managed Successfully.

London, the mighty metropolis of the
world, with its 100000 population is
entering upon a municipal ownership
policy that will in the near future
astonish the world.
A number of organized forces have
for years made propaganda for NUM-
cipal ownership, and today a majority
OF London's citizens are strongly we'd
ded to that program.
Already London has public baths
that are patronized by 5000, 900 people
annually.
She has municipal washhouses,
whereby the wife of the laboring man
can leave home in the worning with
basket of dirty clothes and return
early in the day, having washed, dried
and lroned them at the municipal wash
house at an expense averaging only
five cents for an entire "wash." Thus
weekly steaming of the dwelling
house and it's contents as we'll as a
great saving of fuel, may be counted
among the workers. earnings.
London has municipal street lamp
which provides a stream of boiling
water and dispenses tea, coffee and
cocoa. The heat of the lamp is used to
warm the water. BY dropping two
cents into a slot a gallon of boiling
water can be had. Two cents brings
milk, sugar, tea or coffee.
Municipal lodging houses and tene-
| ments are increasing very fast every
year. Fifteen acres in one of the slum
districts have been cleared at an ex-
pense of $1,500,00O and upon this area
buildings are now being constructed,
fitted out with all modern sanitary ap-
pliances and conveniences.
London has 1,121 municipal tenement
houses, that accommodate 5000 persons,
and this will be doubled in the next
four years. These "tenements'' pay a
profit, too, although the rents are low.
Rent for five room tenement costs
from 81 to SO a week.
London has 40 municipal libraries.
The great municipal markets of Lon
don has a gross income Of over $1,000,
900 and a net profit of $125, ZOO.
The city has established a. great
municipal electric lighting plant in the
Shoreditch district that transmits the
dust Of the streets into electric light.
F There are five other municIpaT electric
lighting plants, all paying a profit.
|. London maintains IL free labor bu-
! reaus and obtains work for 5000 people
annually. The play grounds for chill
| dren, young and old, far surpass those
Of any other city.

CARPENTERS UNION

The Carpenters union admitted two
new members and received sevral ap-
plications at the last meeting.
No new news was given out as to the
demands for the season. It is not def
initely known by the public whether the
contractors will agree to the carpen-
ters' proposition or not. Something
was said during the week about the
unions restriction of apprentices, but
this cannot apply, to i the carpenters
trade, for the union las, placed no re-
striction upon them. 49, 49, ~

RATES ON IRON ORf
SENTIMENT AGAINST HIGH RATES
CANNOT BE CREATED.
Everybody Knows That the Rates
Are Too Hlgh-The Politicians
Dare Not Oppose High Rates, the
Newspapers Are Apparently Dis
Interested and Even Organised
Labor Must Keep Silent.

The ore rates charged by the two
iron range railroads are too high.
Everybody knows this. The politicians
know it,, the companies know it., and
so do the people. In spite of this a.
movement to reduce the rates will
create no more stir among the people,
than an auction sale at a secondhand
store
There are several reasons for this.
The matter of high or low rates, di-
rectly affects but few people, although
the buyers of iron must necessarily
feel it in the end. The legislators from
this county dare not attack the railroad
! companies, for that would mean polit-
ical suicide,-the railroads elect them
and they have so gerrymandered the
legislative districts that they will con-
tinue to do the eleCting, unless the city
voters irrespective of political affilia-
tions take it into their heads to act
independently, and that would be i'm
possible for the election of United
States senator would be at stake.
The labor organizations are also
silenced. The companies pay better
"dScS " dl11 OdO lACL Iud14 OlICI 4Oouo.
In the agreement with the unions the
schedule of wages is based on the
present ore rates, and hence labor will
not oppose high rates, which they are
taught to believe represents high
wages to them.
The newspapers have no apparent in
terest in the matter, and so it will
readily be seen that any effort to
create sentiment in opposition to high
rates will be futile.
Down among the farmers political
capital can be made by talking about
reducing ore rates, but not in this
county.
At this point let it be said that MOTH
ing has done more to foster the con-
solidation of the railroads and the
monopolizing of the mines in this coun.
ty, than bartering in politics, by ex-
changing county offices for seats in the
legislature candidates being chosen by
representatives Of the iron companies.
This can not be denied. At the last
election an officer of the Missabe rail-
road addressed the voters of Proctor
knott, on the eve of election, and in
calling upon the railroad. men as fellow
employees" he said; I'VE do not care
how you vote for president or for gov
ernor, but we do expect you to support
the Republican candidates. tor tile rail-
road and warehouse commission and

NO end OF POLITICS
CANDIDATES FOR LEGISLATURES
ARE ALREADY APPEARING.
The New Primary Election Law
Gives Us q Continuous Round of
Politlcs-Senatorial Candidates
Are Neutrality-suspicious. and
DauEherty May he Candidates
Against Each Other.

The primary election law. Keeps the
politicians busy. They are building
their fall fences already.
A primary election will be held in
September, a. general election in No.
vember, another primary in December
and a city election in February, after
which there will be rest for ten
months.
Very little is being said about candi-
dates for county offices just now. It is
perhaps a little early to consider them,
but candidates for the state senate are
looming up. Representatives Laybourne
and Pugh want to enter the senate,
and they have bumped up against a
stone wall the first thing.
Senator Daugherty would like to re-
turn, but in order to do so he must give
Mr.. Laybourne a battle. Looks like it
will be a merry scramble. Senator
Baldwin must be urged to become a
candidate again. 1t does not matter
how strongly Republican the district is,
he Is strong enough to give either of
the aforenamed gentlemen, a much
needed rest
Dad" Pugh is up against it in the
60th district. E. R. Jefferson will be
compelled to enter the contest against
him. Jeff is not as good a "jollier" as
Mr. Pugh, but he has good reputation
for fighting.
He usually manages to keep pretty
close to the people, and one thing is
certain, his record in the council will
show that those looking for special
privileges will get little encouragement
from him.
New candidates for the lower house
have not appeared yet. George Mallory
will be a, candidate. Andrew Miller may
not care to enter contest for the
nomination where the rank and file of
the party has the choosing. There is
an excellent opportunity for a good
union labor man to get on the ticket
this fall.
The boys better get together and de-
eide on some one. There is a chance
for some good work to be done in the
next legislature for labor.

MACHINlSTS MEET.

The books and supplies for the new
machinists have arrived and were last
evening turned over to the officers.
The charter and seal have been delayed
owing to the fact that the union neg
lected to choose name when it applied
for a. charte. At last evenings meeting
several new members were admitted.
Everything indicates that the new
union will be a success from the be-
ginning. The machinists are taking
an unusual interest in the organization.

ELECTRICAL WORKERS.
Union Will Submit Its Demands For
Arbitration.

According to an agreement entered
into last year between the Electrical
workers union and their employers the
demands made by the union for in
creased wages this year will have to be
arbitrated. Jas. Richardson of the
Northern Electric Company has been
chosen to represent the employers, and
w. N. Delcour will represent the union.
The third member will be chosen by the
two above named. One thing is certain
there will be no strike in the electrical
trade this year.

RumOr That Governor Has Given Up
the Fight.

Joseph Cotton has left for California
He will be away several weeks. Rumor
now has it that Gov. Van SAINT has
given up his fight against the con-
solidation of the range railroads. The
more $people think about the grand
stand plays made by the governory the
more suspicious do they become. On
every hand it is asserted that politics
was behind the move. Now the re-
action is beginning to set in. That
which was supposed to be a. popular
move, failed because Of insincerity.

TIMERS INCREASE.
Union Is After Higher Wages and
Shorter Hours.

The Timers union wants the eight
hour day and an increase in wages
amounting to $500 per day. The bosses
have come back with another PROPOSE
tion offering $500 for nine hours work.
It is now thought that the matter will
be settled by a compromise on basis
of IS cents an hour for eight hours.
This will make the wages $3.50 per- day.
The timers should be commended for
the progress they have made during the
past two years. While they were a
long time getting started, they are now
on a fair road to success.

She was a lover of the South: and her work was done without pay.
 We had many good friends, too, in Maryland, who sent Us news when they could get it. One of these had his home on the banks of the Potomac, and when he had information to impart he would write 1t out, put the paper into @ jug, cork the jug and sink 1t in a creek at, @ designated place. Then he would go up to his garret and so ar- range the red calico window curtain of the end room as to convey a signal that the jug was in position. That night, if everything favored the enterprise, a boat would put off from the Virginia shore to the Maryland shore, and the paper in the jug would be secured for the use of the Confederate commander. All of which was attended with great trouble and danger, so closely watched were those shores. But to return to Miss Van Lew.
 Miss Van Lew was willing enough to aid Grant. but her facilities for collect- ing news about the movements and de- signs of our armies were poor. What she obtained was at best at second or third hand and often. we suspect, from public rumor merely. There can be no doubt, however, about her visiting the prisoners and comforting them and aid- ing them to escape. Nor any doubt either about the high estimation in which she was held by General Grant (who made her postmaster" of Rich mond) and the Union soldiers general Iy. Some of these, Boston men of means, Colonel Revere and others, l frightened the unhappiness of her old age by giving her pension of $1,00o per annum.
 But, all these things aside, we can- not but challenge the existence in the Van Lew house of any secret chamber,
 "where escaped Union prisoners were ] confined" and that. too, upon Miss Van Lew's own say so.-From the Richmond
