HANDSOME QUARTERS.

The PILOT editor had the pleasure of
going through the new law offices of
Kreutzer, Bird d Rosenberg in the
McCrossen building, this morning.
These rooms are, without doubt, the
finest-for the business for which they
are designed-in the city of Wausau
and it would be difficult to find any
thing that will excel them in any other
city of the size of Wausau The rooms
are now practically completed and the
firm expect to move into them next
Monday. The main Office or library is
2Gx40 feet; off of this there are four
offices, l3x18 feet each, splendidly>
lighted. At the east end is stenogra-
piers room l0x12 feet and fire proof,
vault ten feet square. Handsome COM
bination electric lighting and gas fix
lures are suspended from the ceiling
and the rooms are all lastly papered
and decorated. The floors are all of
hardwood, finished in oil and varnish.
The offices are to be heated by steam
and are supplied with all the modern
conveniences, The main hall is to be
decorated the same as the library
which will give it very rich effect.
There are two stairways to the offices,
one on the outside of the building and
the main entrance from Third street,
at the head of the latter large sky
light has been placed. Messrs. Kreu-
tier, Bird & Rosenberg are to be con-
graduated on having such handsome
quarters.
James McCrossen, will have his Office
across the hall from the offices men
toned above, and he is having the
rooms which he will occupy arranged
very attractively

DISTINGUISHING HIMSELF IN
ATHLETICS.

The following special, taken from the
Milwaukee Sunday Sentinel, relates to
a son of Mr. and Mrs H. H. Grace, of
Superior, formerly residents of Wau-
sau; the young man is also grand son
of Mr. and Mrs. James McCrossen of
this city:
SUPERIOR, Wis, Sept. 5-ClareDoa

turned after two years ahsence, ioS
a visit with his parents, ar. and Mrs.
II. H. Grace. of this city. He comes
back for a thirty day furlough and pre-
pared to enter the second year class.
He stands as one of the foremost Wis
consin men in tbe academy, and as in
Superior schools, he has become quite
prominent at the acadamy
During his absence, young Grace has
played quite little part in athletic
work at Annapolis. Almost when he
first entered he was placed in charge
of plebe crew. He had been member
of the Superior Boat club and took al
most entire charge Of the training OF
the crew there.
In football circles he took no promi-
nent part, but when his class was out
for game against the higher class be
went In as halfback and made the only
two touchdowns in the game, by some
brilliant playing. The Army and
Navy commented on his playing and
spoke of him as a find for the academy
team this fall.
Young Grace was member OF the
local high school, and of the Superior
Normal school before entering the
academy. While here he took prom
inent part in athletics, playing half
back for several years upon winning
team at the Superior Normal school.

LABOR CELEBRATION.

The second annual celebration of
Labor day was participated in yester
day by the labor organizations of Wau-
sau and also by the unorganized men
of the d. j. Murray machine shops
They formed in parade in the north
part of town and marched down to the
business centre in the following forma-
ton
Members of Police Force
Cones Band
Ladies of Tailors' Union in Carriages
Tailors' Union
Float of Monumental Granite
Clerks Union
Granite Cutters Union
Float of Finished Granite
Machinery Float, ID. j. Murray
Men of ID. j. Murray Shops
Negro on Mule.
The latter was advertising the dance
of that evening at Castle hall. The
men marched down Third street and
back up to the corner of Scott, the
band taking up position in the band
stand and playing an air. Following
this one of the officers of the granite
cutters union arose in the stand and
thanked the unorganized labor and
citizens in general for the cooperation
they had given in helping along the
celebration He then introduced Mr..
Marchetti who made short address on
the day, its objects and the lessons
learned from it, At the conclusion of
the remarks the band played several
more airs and then the organizations
broke up and dispersed for their homes.
The dance in the evening at Castle
hall was well attended, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the weather was very

state of German industries in the one
word 'overproduction," with the con-
comitant symptoms of that condi-
tion. 1T is growing evident that the
cost OF living in Germany is becoming
greater. On the one hand, manufac-
ture-s complain Of the decline in
whc lesale prices, while on the other
hand consumers complain of the rise
in retail prices, especially with re-
sa1d to the necessaries of daily life, a
rise scarcely noticed during a period
OF prosperity, but becoming most
acutely felt when a reaction takes
place. 1t seems at the present time
that the more German manufacturers
exert themselves to find a market for
their goods the less their profits be-
come, in spite of the increasing credit
risk and the rise in expenditure for
wages, salaries; travelling and adver-
tisements. Many manufacturers are
for the present content if in continu-
ing work they manage to meet ex-
penses and retain their workmen; for
many more it may be assumed that
profits are at very low level or are
altogether wanting"

Goldsmith's House Today.

When Americans make pilgrimage
in the precincts of Fleet street they
generally have a look at Goldsmith s
House." as it is sometimes called, in
Wine Office court. At present they
would find it propped up with strong
beams, in case it should be disturbed
by the taking down of the building
next door. Goldsmith, could he re-
turn to these old haunts, would prob
ably not recognize it in it's splints.
Our knowledge of the smaller things
in this strange career is often pleas
antly uncertain, but it seems to have
been in the year 1850 that he moved
to these superior lodgings" at 6 Wine
Office court. He had been writing
for John Newbery, and here he lodged
with one of Newbery's relatives, who,
perhaps, kept an eye on his errant in
dustry. AS we may read in the Die
tionary of National Biography" John
son supped at Goldsmith's lodgings on
May 81, 1861. He had heard that
Goldsmith had quoted him as pre-
cedent for solvenly habits" and so he
came to the supper dressed with
scrupulous neatness." If the wall of
Number 6 could only speak, we should
ask them for a full account of that

JEWELS IN THE MORNING.
What Was Once Vulgarity Has Now
Become the Proper Thinu.

Newport, it was reported, suffered
a great nervous shock when Mrs John
r. Drexel appeared in the morning in
the Casino with diamonds glistening
at her throat and pearls of immense
price in her ears. 1t was sincerely
said she was trying to introduce new
fashion, while in reality this fad came
from the European watering places.
On the occasion referred to Mrs. Drex-
ell wore a simple linen frock, and
against the unpretentious linen and in
the glare of the summer sun the dia-
monds had an inappropriate glitter
However, the following morning it
seemed that jewels had grown over
night, for almost every other woman
had added a diamond pin her or a
chain of pearls.
Of late the lavish display of jewels
has been INDUCED in by persons who
are distinctly not of the parvenu class,
and therefore Mrs. Drexel found condl-
tons admirably prepared for the in
PRODUCTION Of the morning wearing of
jewels. Mrs. Drexel seems almost
in league with the jewelers., for her in
fiuence has extended the privileges of
unmarried women in their use of
jewels.
In the days of our mothers a girl,
even with several seasons to her
credit, was permitted the possession
only of a pearl bar and a tiny watch,
and possibly an inoffensive diamond
ring. But now girls of the Newport
colony sally forth at night, their necks
clasped with pearl collars, their hair
confined by diamond pins and their
corsage glittering with half a dozen
clusters of brilliants. Miss ENTITY
Drexel-Paul who has been under the
chaperonage of Mrs. John R. Drexel,
wears more jewels than any girl in the
fashionable set, and it is said the con-
tents of her safety deposit box
jewel caskets are woefuly out of date
rival the possessions of many ma
irons whose husbands are millionaires.
With Miss Drexel-Paul for an ex-
ample, unmarried women have taken
up the fad of jewels, and fathers find
the jewelers. bills of their daughters
quite as high as that of their wives
Only one sort of ornament is denied
the maiden, and that the towering cor
onet of jewels.

THE "TEA FACE"
The Mask With Which Women Hide
Their Real FEELINGS


If diction not quite in accordance
with It's subject may be pardoned, a
certain acquisition of the woman of
today may be described as the tea
face"
1t is seen on nine out of every ten
women at any afternoon tea, and it
is strenuous, vapid expression
which once observed can never be
mistaken for any other intent of
countenance. Young girls are not
afflicted with it. Their unsated ON.
nivorous propensity for social gath,
erings and their merry, houyant spir-
its enable them to enjoy even teas.
But the women who are perfume
torily attending the function. to.
whom it is only No. 2 or 8 on an al
ternoon list of four or five-these
women assume the tea face like
mask, and with it hide their wearl-
ness, their preoccupiedness or their
dissatisfaction. There are no yaria-
tons of the tea face Its hallmark
is the determinedly animated smile.
the forcedly enthusiastic glance.
If architecture may be described as
frozen music, then the tea is frozen
vivacity. The eyes have an uninter-
rupted sparkle, the head has a per-
manent sudden tilt of interest and
expectancy, while the smile looks as
if it had been done up in curl papers
over night.

THE PERILS OF THE NOME.
Great Always From Water, Fire and
Other Causes.

Although the most distant region of
North America, 2,700 statute miles
from Puget Sound, the Seward PENN.
sula owes the rapid exploration and
development of its coast to the fact
that an all-water route was open to it's
shores, and that freight still costing a
minimum of $40 a ton into Dawson is
being landed on the Nome beach for
$40 a ton. Passenger rates, higher
in the first rush, have fallen to $40
and $50 first-class and $40 or $25
steerage Owing to the freedom from
hardships, as well as the low cost and
shortness of time required, impelled
by stories that were indeed true of
rich golden beaches, about $4,000 peo-
pie and their chattels landed on the
low sandy spit at Nome and were left
to the mercy of surf and storm. The
Eskimo, very numerous along this
coast, who have none of the aloofness
of the Indian, came in their umiaks,
big skin boats that can carry fifty peo-
pie and all their belongings, and made
camp with the whites; but the Eskimo,
needing no barometer, intuitively fee
several days before a storm. Not so
the whites, who every year have been
caught. In September, 1900, when
there were more than 10000 campers
along the beach, the surf rolled in,
wrecked much of the shipping in the
offing, and destroyed about $1,500,000
of miscellaneous property on the
beach, and every year since, similar
if not so severe disasters have &C.

wards from Nome shows that on oc-
casion the sea sweeps the whole site
of the present city. This is not the
only danger Another is fire. The
streets are narrow, and the houses
fiimsy wooden structures-stand in
serried rows. Because of the cold
there are hot fires everywhere. There
are few brick chimnys, and in winter
thee is no water supply. If serious
fire should occur in midwinter. de-
stroying shelter, food and fuel, no re-
lief could reach the stricken people.
The nearest open port on the Pacific
Az" wv AAAASo ~ IiO SoutuSdol IL Is
I'LL miles from Dawson, with no
roads to either place. Bering Sea is
in the same latitude as the Baltic, and
like the Baltic is shallow and brackish
owing to the many rivers which
empty fresh water and silt into it. In
winter surface ice readily forms, ex-
tending 800 to 400 miles south of
Nome, effectually. isolating the city
from November l until June l. This
is uncomfortable, and three projects are
under consideration to effect com
throughout the whole year.
The simplest is to maintain in Boring
Sea an ice breaker of the Admiral
Ermak type-an easy task, as the ice
is not as thick and solid in Boring Sea
as in the northern Russian ports. The
second project is to build a railroad
from Cook Inlet or Prince William
Sound on open Pacific waters to
Nome by way of st. Michaels. The.
third plan is to connect Nome by rail-
road with the lower Yukon River and
ultimately effect junction with the
railroad from Valdez to Eagle To
complete this project would require
about 900 mics of track.-Harringto

pesetas, and are recoverable from the de- fendant only if the judge Is satisfied that he has acted In bad faith; that when ordering the goods he had no intention of paying for them unless compelled to do so. AS may be surmlsed, this condition is usually amply sufficient to prevent the plaintiff recovering any part of the costs.
 Debts against private persons in Russia become prescribed by statute after lapse of twelve months.
 Before an advocate in Russia can take any legal steps to vindicate the rights of his foreign client he has to be furnished CD a lengthy power of attorney drawn up in the Russian language, certified by notary and vised by the Russian Consul; CD an extract containing particulars of the claim from the creditors books. ac- companied by a statement in Russian, from the notary to the effect that the ex- tract is a true copy of the entries in the books, which are found to be kept in good order and in accordance with the Eng fish law. The extract also haA to be vised by the Consul The expense connected with the preparation of these documents is very heavy.
 Should the creditor persist he will he required to deposit a substantial sum on account of costs. and in all likelihood be- fore the matter has proceeded beyond the preliminary stage it will be found that he has unconsciously run counter to soma incomprehensible Russian law, either in the mode of delivering the goods or on some other particular connected with the case, which will afford the debtor a loop hole of escape.

SLEW RELATIVES AND SELF.
Earl Woods Kills Father and Shoots
 Mother and Sister.

Frankfort Inc. Feb. A-Earl Woods, the 17-year-old son of prominent farmer seven miles west of this city this even ing murdered his father. shot and fatally wounded his mother and sister and then committed suicide.
 The motive for the boys bloody crime is not known.
 After the shooting the young man went to the home of a neigEbor and said that robbers had entered the Woods home and killed his father, mother and sister and that ha escaped after running battle with the desperadoes. He was apparent ly greatly excited and said he was or ganiZing a posse to pursue his father s slayers. The boy then continued on his way toward this city and. stopping at the next house, told the same story. When he was questioned concerning the shoot ing. he became confused and resented the inqu!sitiveness of the farmer to whom he told the story.
 Young Woods said he had no time for further words, as he had to run down the robbers and he started toward the barnyard at the farmers home. After the boy disappeared behind the barn a shot was heard and the farmer to whom the boy had been talking but moment before hastened to the barn, to find the youthful murderer dying with a bullet through his breast.
 The father of the boy Is reported dead and it is said his mother and sister can not recover from their wounds.

WESTERN CATTLE RANGES.
How They May Yet be Restored tc
 Their Old Ferh V.

F. Benjamin Andrews in the American
 Monthly Review of Reviews.
 The number of cattle in the Unted States is increasing, though 1t does not keep pace with the population. But the business is more and more forced on to high priced land rendering beef produc- ton costlier than 1t need be. According to figures laid before the House Com mittee on Public lands, April 16 1902, the number of range cattle sent to market diminished S1 per cent. between 1895 and 1901.
 With due care the range can be made to recover its old fertility. It might cas- fly be put In condition to fatten four head of stock to each head now grazing upon it. To effect this. regulation is needed Some authority must be asserted over the pastures to prevent their abuse. to make 1t for the interest of occupants not to kill the goose which lays the golden egg. An end must be put to the blighting compe- tition now kept up.
 Regulation being established, pastures can he used In rotation. a period of rest being given each. during which the graz ing and trampling of herds may cease, and grasses have opportunity to scatter and fructify their seeds. Barren places can be artificially reseeded and induced to yield herbage as of old. In localities better grasses than ever grew there can be sown and grown.
 Such a recuperative process has been set going in other countries and in parts of our own. Australia has suffered the pinch through which we are now pass ing. Her great live stock industry was dying out; her exports of wool and of frozen and preserved meats dwindling Ranges were depleted or destroyed. as now with us. Cattle "duffng," outlawry, range jumping and quarrels were gen. eral The men of that country faced the problem and solved it. system of leases was devised. giving each grazier. for term of twenty-eight years. exclus- i've range rights upon his land It be- came profitable for him to improve his holding instead of promoting it's deterio- ration. The lessee cuts his domain in two. pasturing each part one year and resting 1t the next. Tn this way the whole pasture gradually improves in quality.
