AN EXAMPLE OF TRUST METHODS.

Here is little example of what a trust can do
In the east side of New York there are about
thousand small tradesmen' who sell ice. In way
they are the friends of the poor for they sell it in
very small quantities. 1t is possible to buy cents
worth of ice at some of these small shops.
The ice trust sold ice to these small tradesmen
at ST 80 ton The dealers retaed it at III cents
IL hundred When waste is considered this is not ex-
ces5ive.
The trust decided that these email dealers
should 60 out of business. 1t did not consult them.
1t did not consider the needs of their patrons or
their poverty. 1t did not care.
The line of responsibility that runs from the
bedside of child suffering for lack of a cooling
drink to the office of the ice trust is so long that
business denies that it exists-that there is any re-
sponsibllity.
The ice trust put up the price to small dealers
to 50 ton, then to 81 So again to &c., or 10 cents
hundred The trust held the retail price to III
hundred, forcing every small dealer to sell at loss
or 60 out of business.
1t worked 1t put the trust in position to get
all of the profits. 1t was example OF greed, OF
hoggsh methods peculiar to trusts, which should be
rebuked.
The price of ice in New York is to go up The
Wlplng out OF JLe Sulall was Gle hlsV ho'O;
and the business will be MIXED for every dollar it
will stand.
Some men may enjoy profits wrung from the
necessities of the poor; they may argue that there
can be no sympathy in business; they may make OF
trade war and feel justified in crushing and grinding
in order to stihe competition.
But they wrong. They can pile dollars as
high as the Washington monument, but they can
not make dishonor anything but shameful, and high
minded people will have for them only contempt
The New York ice trust is shameless corporation
But it's methods in no wise differ from other trusts
be they in New York or Florida. Not one of them
has conscience, and they should be dashed by law

SHAKESPEARE AND CHICAGO.

The miracle called Shakespeare has its irrever-
ent doubters and detractors.
Ever since plausible evidence was offered SEEM
ing to prove that these works of immortal genius We're
written not by Shakespeare, but by Bacon, the
defamation and detracton have steadily gone on.
Now Chicago school principal named Watt has
been mercessly exposing the intellectual and itera-
ry deficiencies of Shakespeare's writings. Most of
the short-horn critics are school teachers Here
part of Principal Watts indictment:
'His wit is of a slim order. He is a cheap pun
ster and hate punsters He makes his jokes of a
shady character. His language is behind the times
Students are misled and injured by the bad gram
mar, bad spelling and bad morals set forth i'll his
books His plays are full of what we now recognize
as errors of speech"
Moreover, Principal Watt would incte the
French the Dutch the Irish and the Scotch against
the use in the public schools of the works of this
"much-overated" playwright, who, he tells us, has
gratutously insulted these races.
1t ought to be presumed that the French, Dutch,
Irish and Scotch are quite able to judge for them
selves whether or not they have been insulted.
1t must occur to most any mind but that of
this Chicago professor that to it is necessary
to tell them that they have been insuted is to offer
them more gratuitous and more glarng insult than
any that can be charged against Shakespeare.
Ever since another Chicago professor rated
Shakespeare below Rockefeller the world has become
hardened to tolerate almost anything from that
region.
And it really matters little what is said about
Shakespeare or his works, i'll Chicago or anywhere
else.
He is dead and doesn't mind it. His works are
immortal and can stand it.

es such results it is morally nexcusable, if not
tually criminal,
1t is less cruel to permit man to suffer from
temporary ills than to permanently deprive him of
health mind and moral responsibility.
Every case of morphine habit traceable to q
doctor is a reproach to the medical profession, and
for their own credit physicians are bound to find a
remedy for the evil.
1t is a matter that societies exercising control
over the medical profession cannot consider too
seriously.

.DOW|E OFFERS 4
 PLAN ID SETTLE TangIe at Zion City May Soon Be Strengthened PROPOSAL IS REASONABL E Prophet Agrees to Give Notes Bearing 5 Per Cent Interest and to Pay
 All Debts In One
 Year.
PROPOSAL IS REASONABLE E

Chicago, December 7.-In a statement which places his assets at more than four times as much as his liabilities John Alexander Dowie today at meeting at tended by d majority of his creditors submitted a proposal by which it is be-
 ieved the financial tangle at Zion City will be strengthened out in a satisfactory manner.
 In Dowie's communication his assets are declared to be s1S,S4521O and his liabili- ties only s4,O5S, S49. Of the liabilities s425, 467 is in merchandise indebtedness. Notes bearing 5 per cent interest were offered by Dowie in settlement, and he agreed to take up 10 per cent of his indebtedness in three months, 25 per cent in six months and 25 per cent in nine months. and the remaining 40 per cent in one year.
 The creditors who were represented at the meeting thought the proposal reason able and a committee was appointed to seek further details. If this committee finds that Dowies statement of debts and resources Is correct, it is said they will accept the proposal at once, and then seek to have the bankruptcy proceedings dismissed.
 Dowes statement of his resources in- cluded land. buildings, stock in Zions lace industry. bills receivable and other items not named. Of this total indebtedness, that due for bank deposits and shares of stock in the various Zion City indus tries, was placed at s, 19O, 659 maturing in 1901 and 1903. Bills payable on account of land were placed at $315, 4O3, due in 1905 and 1908.
 The judgment due Samuel Stevenson is Sl0O000, for which secured notes have been given. This leaves only $452 267 due to outside creditors on merchandise ac- counts. It is to the holders of these out side claims that Dowie made the offer of settlement
