SOME HAPPENINGS
OF THE WEEK.,
BOOK BEER MANIA.

BOOK BEER MANIA.
Chicago physicians have dis
covered new mental disease. It
is called ''bock beer mania" and
usually makes its appearance in
the early spring. lis distinctive
popularity is an Unsuitable thirst
for the beverage from which it
derives it's name. Eighteen men
and women afflicted with the dis
ease appeared in the Chicago
court for insane the other day.
Eight of the victims were ad-
judged Insane and committed to
| an asylum for treatment, with a
good chance of recovery within a
few months. Several had recov-
cred sufficiently to be released, and
they were dismissed with word
of advice by the court,
County physician Hunter says
the opening of the book beer sea-
son is always reflected in sudden
increase in the number of alcohol
ic cases. Doctors call it ''bock
beer mania"
MISS STONE WILL LECTURE.
Miss Ellen M. Stone the Amer
lean missionary will be in this
country within a few days. She
sailed from England last Thurs
day. She will at once begin lee

The rest which Miss Stone had
in England has improved her
health, tho she was obliged to
refuse countless invitations to
speak before religious and other
bodies. Mr.. Choate, the United
States ambassador, and Mrs. Choate.
are greatly interested in the mis-
sionary. They entertained her at
the embassy at tea Thursday, where
Miss Stone gave the diplomatic
party graphic, yet simple, &C.
count of her experience.
CHICAGO ANARCHISTS ARRESTED.
Some anarchists who attempted
to create demonstration in Chi
cago last Thursday evening met
with considerable rebuff. It was
at a meeting in memory of the
late John P. Altgeld, and a num-
Der of male and female members
of the "reds' attempted to circu-
late some incendiary pamphlets.
They were at once arrested and
locked up over night.
Emma Goldman sat in the most
prominent part of the hall, but was
kept under surveillance and did
not speak during the meeting.
MARGIN DEALING PURE GAMBLING.
Massachusetts bucket shop
keepers have a chilly outlook be-
fore them, as the supreme court of
that commonwealth has ruled that
speculation on margins is merely a
gambling transaction and that per-
sons who have been wiped out can
regain their losses. In certain
cases the loser can recover twice
the amount lost.
The decision sustains a verdict
of $412 for the plaintiff in the
case of Lena Marks versus the
Metropolitan Stock Exchange OF
Boston. The plaintiff bought
United States steel on margin.
A margin was put up, but when
the stock began to fall, and plain
tiff's husband tried to reach the
counter to put up more margin,
the crowd was great and when he
got there he was informed that he
was wiped out" The court says:
"The transaction testified to is
plainly device to make wager

the purchase and sale of shares of
stock. The language of both wit
nesses throuUhOnt is the lancnaoe

A GIFT WORTH RECEIVING.

By way of a Joke, someone gave
Rev. R. G. Boscamp, Presbyte-
rian clergyman. Of Indianapolis,
Ind, several thousand shares of
supposedly worthless mining stock
a year ago Last week Mr.. Bos-
camp refused an offer of 100000
for the seock.
Mr.. Boscamp was in Denver
last summer delivering a series of
lectures. He was entertained
while there by local lodge of
Elks- he was at one time grand
chaplain of that order-and as
joke one of the members gave him
the mining stock.
A CHICAGO MATRIMONIAL MIX-UP.
Miss Violet Gleason of Chicago
has brought suit against Mrs.
Katherine Walsh of the same city
for $2l which Miss Gleason claims
is due her for acting as wife to
Mr.. Walsh while Mrs. Walsh was
away on visit 1t happened this
way:
Mr.. Walsh is elderly, rich, blind
and somewhat querulous. Solomon
in all his glory was not arrayed
like Mrs. Walsh when she is
dressed to go out. Mrs. Walsh
wanted to go on trip; Mr.. Walsh
wanted her to stay home; she
cudgelled her brains for half an
hour, and then went to call on
Miss Gleason, a trusted friend.
Violet" said Mrs. Walsh, II
want you to do me favor. AS you
know, my husband is rich and
blind. He cannot see you and he
can we'll afford the expense. Your
voice is just like mine and we are
of the same build. You come over
and play you are me for week
and | will give you $2l besides all
the things you can get out of Mr..
Walsh"
Just what do you want me to
dor asked the surprised girl.
Il want you to come and act
just as though you were me- re-
piled the wife.
"But wouldn't you be jealous
and now do you know I will be as
good wife as you, or that your
husband would not suspect some
thing?"
"Well, you try it and I will be
gone anyway. I won't be jealous,
was the answer.
So Violet put on her glad rags
and followed in the wake of Mrs.
Walsh and the latter went off on
her visit.
Miss Gleason made a hit with
Mr.. Walsh. She was kind and
attentive, and he frequently COM
plimented her on the agreeable
change in her manners. He
thought she had too much work to
do and hired an extra servant. He
also bought her some new jewelry.
Miss Gleason liked the place and
regretted that it wasn't steady
job.
Then Mrs. Walsh came home.
First she found a servant doing
the work. Entering her own
chamber she found Julia there
with costly jewels and beautiful
gowns which Mr.. Walsh had
bought her. Mrs. Walsh imme-
diately drove Violet out of the
house and confscated the Jewels
and clothes.
Violet asked for her wages and
was refused. She appealed to
Mr.. Walsh and he then learned
the truth of the matter. Mrs.
Walsh denies that she hired Violet
to play wife and Violet will try to
prove her claims by her own testi-
mony and that of the blind man,
who will feel the features of the
two women and tell which woman
lived with him during the week in
question.

At the Chautauaua In addition to
Meeting. the scheduled
program, considerable business
was disposed of at the meeting of
the Pierian Chautauqua circle
Sunday afterno N. AS the time
has arrived for one Of the former
presidents of the circle TO take his
leave from this institution, unani-
nous resolutions were passed
thanking him for his exertions in
behalf Of the organization and
wishing him Godspeed and good
luck in his future life. The Sec
rotary read the circle letter from
Bishop Vincent and also one from
Miss Kimball, national secretary,
which were ordered to be placed
on file.
It has been suggested that the
constitution be so amended that
the routine of reading and approx
ing the minutes of the former
meeting may be dispensed with, as
it consumes time that might be
applied more proftably. The mat
ter will doubtless be brought up
at the next meeting. :.
All the papers read Sunday af-
ternoon were of a quality to re-
feet credit on the organization
the music was up to its uniform
standard of excellence, and the
discussions, while limited for time,
we're interesting.
The program opened with an
essay by a class . man, entitled
''The Study of History which,
being reply to paper read at a
former gathering. caused consider
able discussion. This was followed
by a class report entitled MAKE
Haste Slowly dissertation on
the old proverb, ''The more haste
the less speed The paper will
be found elsewhere in this issue Of
The MIRROR. A vocal duet, 'The
Holy City," came next.
What was generally conceded to
be one of the most interesting
papers of the year was read by a
member of class F. It's subject
was Zone Dollar Day and Mod
ern Christian" and its purport
was the question: What incentive
has the average laborer to follow a
Christian life? This was succeed
ed by piano solo by Mrs. Coli
gan, musical director of this in
stitution. Mrs. Colligan's selec-
ton consisted of two short
numbers, "Salome," by Lorraine,
and the old German melody
"Heimweh.''
The possibility of united North
America was discussed in q paper
by a member of class A. The
writer did not consider the absorb
ton of Mexico by this country,
but confined himself to enumer-
ating the causes for the annex
alton of Canada at some distant
time. Being thoroughly familiar
with his subject, his exposition of
the predominant traits of the Can
adian character was of unusual in
terest. The report of the critic
brought the meeting to close.
