The Back Yard Beautiful.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The Chicago branch of the women's aux
Hilary of the American Park and Outdoor Art
Association is striving to arouse general
interest in backyard gardening 1t should
be encouraged in its work. Some progress
in the direction In question has been made
In the last few years, but neither the pos
sibility nor the desirability of identifying
the back yards Of our congested districts
has as yet been recognized by the people
most deeply concerned in the movement
Examples demonstrating how block, a
neighborhood or an entire district may be
changed for the better with plants vines,
shrubbery and grass plots are not wanting
here. but the strange thing Is that, when
so much may be accomplished at so small
an expenditure Of money and labor, so few
have taken advantage of their opportuni-
ties. There are districts throughout the
city which afford all the advantages that
suburban or country life can offer for or
namental gardening in a small way The
yards, front and back. are as large as those
Of the suburban homes, the soil Is Just as
good, the enjoyment that can be extracted
from gardening just as great. All that is
lacking is the disposition. and where the
disposition exists 1t seems to be chilled by
the apparent hopelessness Of the surround

MIR. aoMPERs' VIEW
Regarding the Formation Of an EN-
ployers' Association.

Regarding the Formation Of an EN-
ployers' Association.
Labor leaders Of national prominence in
this city, including the officials of the
American Federation of Labor, are inclined
to look upon the present situation in New
York and the movement on the part Of the
employers to organize with view to in
augurating a general crusade against or
ganized labor, from an optimistic view
point. and aver that existing conditions
were brought about through the employers
themselves.
It was with evident reluctance that Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor referred to the outlook
when seen by reporter of The Star late
this afternoon. When pressed for state.
ment he said: I'm my opinion there should
not be the least apprehension on the part
Of unprejudiced and right-thinking people
as to the outcome. Personally, think that
all matters at issue will be amicably ad-
justed-'common sense and reason will pre-
vail"
When asked whether or not he had heard
any rumor to the effect that II the en-
ployers of New York, as a result of this
evenings meeting, declared war upon the
workers Of that city there would be in
augurated general sympathetic strike
over the country. he answered In the mega.
tive, saying that so far as he Is aware no
such action is contemplated.
Local labor leaders, seen this afternoon,
corroborated President Gompers In that the
present controversy in New York will not
have any bearing upon the labor situation
throughout the country.

Boardman in relation to the Washington
end of the case. 1t appears that sale-siip
from a store on 7th street in this city was
found in the room that had been occupied
by the man who is SO badly wanted by the
New York police. The sale had been made
May 3. and the boarder at Mrs. Currie s
returned home two days later. Before
leaving New York he informed those in the
house of his destination, and said he was
coming here on a business trip.
Detective Hartigan was detailed to &C
company the New York officer yesterday.
and he found the clerk who had made the
sale recorded on the slip. but who was I'M
able to give any information concerning the
identity Of the purchaser. The store record
showed that the slip represented the sale
of writing material. 1t was thought by the
New York authorities that the purchase
slip would furnish good clue, but yester-
days work on the matter did not develop
anything which would assist them.
The New York detective returned home.
but the investigation in this city mas not
been concluded. An effort Is being made
to ascertain where Rousseau stopped while
he was in this city. The hotel registers
will be Investigated and the cheap lodging
houses visited. 1t is believed that the New
York officer will return with another de-
tective from that city and continue the In
vestigation here.

Babies Mixed II Incubator.
N the Philadelphia Telegraph.

A strange lawsuit has just been heard by
the courts of Amsterdam. AS far back as
February last year newly born child was
taken from the mothers care to be reared
in an incubator. In accordance with med
ical advice the infant was packed in wad-
ding and hurried to the hospital, where the
incubators stand ready to receive weakly
babies Meanwhile, in compliance with
Dutch law, the 9ather had the birth of a
son registered 6Adstiy child was given the

Money Subscribed by Gullible Persons

money subscribed by Gullible Persons
Who Would Get Rich Quick.
From the New Yort Times
Several persons have observed that cleo
trfcfty has already wrought great changes
In tina conditions OF life: also It Is a matter
OF comment that the use Of this mysterious
force is still in its infancy. Indeed the
utility and the infancy of electricity have
almost supplanted meteorological observa-
tons as the staple Of ordinary conversa-
ton. Although 1t has revolutionized city
and suburban transit has greatly improved
public lighting. and by many is regarded
as OF SURPRISING therapeutic value. the i'm
portance of electricity a source of stu
pendous profit Is by no means exhausted
Thus. the stock sold for projected cleo
trfcal express air line between two large
western cities brought something like
81, 000, 900 to the promoters, who risked only
the cost OF the advertising and the print
ing. of the stock certificates. Being men
of moderate ambition they did not con-
slider It expedient to construct the line or
even survey the route. Electrical inven-
tons still far from complete have served
for stock issues which have had a ready
sale. There seems to be no limit to the
sums which electricity can lure from the
bank deposits of small savers.
In the light Of experience 1t ought not to
be difficult to credit the statement that
$o6,OO0.O0O more or less, has been sub
scribed to the capital stock of a Chicago
company. the declared purpose Of which is
to draw an illimitable supply Of electricity
from the great reservoir of the sk1es
local wizard has discovered that there
are electrical belts "a couple OF hundred
miles or So high which can be tapped by
device Of his own invention. 1t is obvious
to the most credulous small saver seeking
investments that with ready-made electric
ity at command the company may easily
control the market and declare unparal-
leled dividends. should the scheme be car
ried so far
