JACK THE KISSER.
New Terror Is Injecting one of
ChiCagO'S Suburbs.

Evanston. the classic Methodist
suburb of Chicago, is suffering a new
spasm. This time 1t is slack the Kis-
ser,' an individual who seeks dark
street cars aud lonely streets for his
Illicit OSCILLATION.
Goods at Northwestern university
have been the worst sufferers, but
manv girls and young married women
have filed complaints, and the police
are conducting an active search, aided
by dozen angry husbands and sweet
hearts of the victims.
The favorite custom of the "kisser''
is TO get on a crowded and poorly
lighted street car. Under pretence of
speaking to some lady he leans over
and kisses her. Usually the vic
tim is TOO badly mortified to cry out,
and the villain jauntily steps out OF
the car.
Young women are afraid to traverse
the streets in the evening, for a num-
Der of them have been stopped and
kissed by the stranger, who is des-
cribed as "nasty" and "horrid."

ferred to the election committee in
the usual course. There was some
discussion on the democratic side as to
whether it should not go to the cleo
tions committee number three, which
had considered other Virginia
contests rather than to committee
number one, but finally all objections
to its going to that committee were
withdrawn, and the resolution takes
that course.
1t has not developed that the re-
publican leaders intend to force action
upon the resolution, but the probable
ity is that they will do so, and con-
gressional investigation of the election
of that district and into the provisions
OF the Virginia constitution will be
had. However loath the. republicans
have been towards stirring up the
sectional issues, it is practically GER
tain now that the matter has been
brought to the attention of congress
in formal way, they will consider it
a political necessity to put through
resolutions calling for congressional
legislatiOn.

STEEL CUTTING IMPLEMENTS
Their Speed and Capabilities Far
SurpaSS the Old.

1t was thought for many years that
the greatest degree of perfection and
the limit OF cutting power had been
reached ia the best self-hardening
steels, but within the last three years
new products, similar In character and
analysis, have been perfected, with
capabilities Of high speed work which
far surpass the old. Many of the lat
ter Ateels owe their high speed quail
ti9s to special heat treatments given
he tool after forging, while some of
the newer products are OF such con.
binations chemically that no treatment
or only simple one, is necessary.
These high speed steels have worked
a complete revolution in modern en-
cheering, necessitating the building
of new and powerful machine tools
and nearly doubling the output of
SHOPS where they have been adopted.
All the best makes of high-speed
steels show ability to withs tand the
heat engendered in he avY lathe work.

GREAT FIGHT PROBABLE.
Importers May Buck
American Beef Trust.

According to adYices from London,
meat dealers il Smith6eld are jubilant
over the prospect of a great fight be-
tween the American beef trust and the
Argentina importers. They think the
trust has been using its monopoly
merciIessly and they would welcome
any scheme by which its back could
be broken.
Itappears that the Argentina peo-
pie have at last discovered the secret
of sending over meat in the superior
condition that has always characterize
ed the Chicago packing, and that they
are now able to compete with the
trusts in that direction, at least.
During the past fortnight Argentina
meat has been bought 'in the market
for less than at any time for months
before, with the result that the trust
found it desirable to shorten supplies
in order to raise prices. The belief
among meat salesmen now is that the
trust will endeavor to buy up the Ar
gentina company or come to compro-
mise. If both plans fail then the trust
will fight to finish, and Londoners
will look forward to a cheap Christmas
