MRS. SCHISSLER SNUBBED

If all people who have become noto-
rious through crimes or social scandals,
were snubbed as was Mrs. Schissler
in Milwaukee, there would be less fame
in infamy. This woman whose wan
tonnes has been nauseating, whose con
nection with the deliberate murder OF
companion by her husband, was suffi-
cient to brand her through life, sought
the usual course of her kind and went
on the stage Her first appearance
called forth vigorous and emphatic
Kisses from an outraged audience, who
would not tolerate her. The Jealous
ness of theatre managers now a days
who go beyond the plane of common
decencY and devise ways and means of
playing upon The morbid curiosity OF
the public should be emphatically sat
upon, and Milwaukee is to be com
mended.

PEANUT-EATERS IN CARS.
A Public Nuisance That Most People
Would Like to See Put Down
and Out.

eff l could have my way about it"
said sensitive citizen, according to the
New York Sun, 81 would have law
passed forbidding the eating of pea
nuts in elevated or surface cars, and re-
curing the guards or conductors to
eject from the cars any person so Of
Tending.
Men, strange as it may seem, not
children, are the chief offenders in this
direction. You may see grown men
sitting in car, and, regardless of their
fellow passengers, calmly eating pea
nuts and dropping the shells on the
floor
"To many persons the odor of pea
nuts within a confined space, as in
| railroad car, is unpleasant, as the sight
of the litter of shells on the floor must
be to all. But the men peanut eaters
go right on eating, and so disposing of
the shells. Why, have seen a district
messenger boy eating peanuts in a car
do better than they in one way any
how. This boy put his empty shells
back into the paper bag from which he
had emptied the peanuts into his pock
ct.
81 have seen men eat apples in an ele-
waited car ard throw the core under
the seat. I have seen man eat an or
ange in al elevaed car and not even
take the trouble to do that with the
orange peel but just lay that down on
the vacant seat beside him. But such
men as those Iregard as fine gentlemen
as compared with the grown man who
eats peanuts in an elevated car and
gard as
"Well, the peanut eater I would have
firmly, even if gently, put off the car"

WHITE WATER IN THE OCEAN.
Singular Phenomenon Witnessed At
Rare Intervals in the Trop-
zeal Regions.

Of the many sights, witnessed in the
oceans of the globe, one of the most
curious and most weird is that de-
scribed by sailors as "the milky sea-"
ships being surrounded for several
hours by water that appears to be
snowy whiteness. Compiled from ex-
periences recorded during the last 70
years, an interesting account of the
phenomenon is given on the North At
lantic and Mediterranean Pilot Chart.
The spectacle is restricted to the dark
ness of night and rare occasions, and,
while it is limited mainly to the warm
er waters of the tropical belt, it APP
pears to be more common in the In
dian ocean than in the Atlantic and
Pacific. From the white water the
light is so strong that ordinary news
paper print can be read on board ship,
but the scene all around is of an awe
inspiring description. The horizon is
blotted out, sea and sky seem to- be-
come one in a sort of universal lumi-
nous fog, which, like a London fog,
robs the observer of the sense Of dis
lance and direction, the deck being lit
up with a ghastly, shadowless light.
Last June off the west coast Of South
America bucket of the white water
emptied back into the sea resembled
molten lead. This curious sight has
interested scientific investigators, Oar
win among them; but while it is, no
doubt, related to the many phosphor-
escent displays common at sea, there
is no difficult explanation forthcom-
ing Of this particular manifestation or
of the singular atmospheric effects re-
sulting from it.

FIRST BOOK OF LAWS.
statutes Drawn Up by King Of Baby-
Ion Five Centuries Before
Laws of Moses.

The well-known psychologist. DR..
Hugo Winckler, says the London Ex-
press, has published an account of
the legation promulgated by King
Amraphel of Babylon, which, so far
as is known at present, was the first
book of laws ever given to the world.
King Amraphel lived $3.50 years B.
c., and is mentioned in the bible as a
contemporary of Abraham, so that
his statutes were drawn up fully five
centuries before the laws Of Moses.
They number 2s2, and contain the
following:
"If a woman who sells beverages
gives bad value for the money paid
her. she shall be thrown into water.
"If a wife be a spendthdift, or if
she otherwise neglects her duties,

RANDOLPH AND THE CORPORATIONS

Some time ago an unjust criticism
was directed against Senator Randolph
by the Milwaukee Free Press and taken
up by others in which it was claimed
that he was becoming the tool Of the
railroad corporations. As a convincing
refutation the Senator introduced bill
which if it will pass the legislature,
will have put the raj road to an i'm
mense amount Of expense The blll
calls for the placing Of bulletins in all
railroad depOts, announcing the arrival
and departure Of trains. Further the
tax commission had no stauncher sup
porter than the local senator in its ad.
yocacy Of the ad yalorem system ~ he
believed that the gentlemen comprising
this board We're perfectly familiar with
the question, having given the matter
close investigation THIS was also
aimed at the corporations Thus we
find that instead Of being too" OF
the railroads, our senator is very much
with the people.

12 months ending

This is an increase of AZ per cent from
1895, when the low Wilson tariff was in
force. la other words, merchandise inn
portations are nearly half again as large
under the high Dingley tariff as under
the democratic tariff, sometimes called
the freetrade tariff, of 1904.
The avowed purpose OF protective
tariff legislation is to equalize the con
ditions of home with those OF foreign
production, and to extend the home
market for home manufacturers by re-
ducing the market for foreign manufac-
lures The purpose of such extreme
protective legislation as is found in the
Dingley act of 1S97-the most extreme
ever enacted is to place home produc-
ton at a still more superior advantage
as against foreign competitors, and still
further enlarge the home market by re-
ducing the market which foreigners
will be able to find here. Nevertheless
it appears that forgeign producers are
finding in the United States larger and
evidently more profitable market'than
they have ever found before Their
shipments hither now exceed all pre-
vious records and continue to increase,
those for March closely approaching
800, OOO, 900 or at the rate of nearly
81, 200, 600, 600 year. How far then,
is the high tariff succeeding in fulfill
ing the purposes and expectations of its
trainers?
1t is quite probable that the present
industrial revival would have come into
existence had the tariff been let alone in
1897 But admit that the enactment OF
the higher duties was the great stimulat-
ing factor in bringing on the present
prosperity. The Dingley act then be-
comes responsible for the high prices
prevailing in the home market, which
are at once cause andconsequence and
index of prosperity; and the high prices
rising to the level of the higher tariff
become in turn responsible for the un-
preceedented invasion Of the home mar
ket by foreign wares which the higher
tariff was designed to keep out. Hence
it must be concluded that the high tariff
has Indirectly proved quite DIS great a
stimulus to importations as it has direct
ly been discouragement.
If a lower tariff existed prices in the
home market could not have been push
ed up 80 high, and hence importations
would not have become SO large; but
home market prosperity might have been
Just az great since, with lower prices all
around, the costs of production, which
are now eating up the profits of indus
try, would not have been so high, The
lesson Of the present experience Is that
extreme protection tends to defeat its
own ends, and such is the case to a
striking degree with the Dingley enact
ment

CARNEGIE'S PHILANTHROPY

Carnegie would build temple OF

Coal Trust is bigger than Carnegie, be-
cause Of the size of its dividends on
water Further, if instead of building
u temple Cf remembrance for himself
through the medium Of libraries, he
would apply his determination to die a
poor man, to the elimination Of some of
the evils in his native city, he would
secure the everlasting gratitude of a

channels, for the accomplishment OF
