woman who was accused of vagrancy. "The law contemplated said Mrs. Rossi, "that a woman shall be subser- vient to her husband, father or guard ian. The law gives ner the right to work. but does not compel it."
 The implication is that the jury in the former case acquitted the accused on the legal grounds stated. In criminal cases in Illinois juries are judges of law as well as fact, but for all that juries are not generally regarded as the best judges of law.
 Even if they were we would have Tn this instance an even balancing or precedents. Tn one case the jury con- victed and in the other it acquitted, ana it is to be presumed that the jury passed on the question of law in the one case as much as in the other.
 If the latest decision is the most au- thoritative the weight of authority is on the side of the contention that woman may be a vagrant under the Illinois statute.
 But the question of most interest to the public is not what the statute is, but what it ought to be. If, as Mrs. Rossi says, the law makes a woman
 SuDSerNlenl 10 neT nuSDanQ, IaIner or guardian" and at the same time merely gives her the right to work without compelling her. the vagrants dictum that the world owes every one a living is legally vindicated in Illinois as to the female half of the adult popula- ton.
 It may be remarked that it is a queer sort of subserviency which is enforced by no legal power to compel service. The law which contemplates that a woman shall be subservient, but that there shall be no legal way of requiring her to render service, contemplates something strongly resembling a con tradiction. It Is at least nugatory.
 There is a supposable case which Mrs. Rossi's contention does not cover. Suppose a woman does not accept the support provided by her husband, father or guardian. Suppose she de- serts her home and becomes in fact a vagrant. May she not be treated as such under the law?
 If she could be returned to a hus- band, father or guardian, who had some legal power to govern her and re- strain her vagrant disposition 1t might

THIS BOOKIsH NATION.

According to La Revue of Paris the United States is pre-eminently the bookish nation. France has the largest library and Germany is the largest annual producer of new works, but the American people own the largest num- Der of books.
 La Revue computes the existing stock of books in the world as follows Tn the United States, 700, ,000, ,00O; in western Europe, 1900, 900 .OOO; in eastern Europe, 46O 100000; in other countries, 240.0O00O0. Whence these figures are derived is unknown here. but, assum- ing their correctness, one can see off, hand that the American people as q whole lead the world as book owners.
 The population of Europe, from the Atlantic to the Urals and from North Cape to the Bosporus and Gibraltar, in round figures, is 374,OOO, 900, with almost exactly six books per head With 700,- 100000 books the 76,OOO, 900 of the Ameri- can people have over nine volumes per head.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

THE sCHAFFER RELIGION
A Preparation for the End of the
 World.

The religion of the Schaffers who live at the corner of Second avenue and Jackson street has broken out in a new form. There has been erected in the front yard large furnace at con- siderable expense which is supposed events in the spiritual world. The Schaffers and their cult known as the American IsraeIites believe that the world has about reached the end of it's string and that something is going to be doing soon in the way of judgement and consequent damnation of the un- righteous. The fiery furnace or altar is about eight feet high, carefully built and plastered. In front of it are two benches on which the faithful sit and watch the sacred flames. The altar or furnace is surrounded by twenty four truncated cones formed out of the earth evidently intended as miniature furn- aces or imitation furnaces.
 All this construction seems to have been completed some time night be- fore last for nobody saw it until yes terday morning. The first man who took
 
 gomery, former sheriff of the county. good republican and a tax payer Mir. Montgomery is not of a particular ly inQuisitivc turn of mind but when he passed the residence of the Schaffers and saw this work he naturally want ed to know what was going on. He opened the gate and went inside but did not stay long. He came up town and wanted to have the Shaffers ar rested for arson. They had fired him. They told him that he was on sacred ground and that if they did not kick him out the vengeance of God would fall upon him.
 Nobody has been found yet who quite understands the significance of the sacred altar and its surroundings. It is said to have something to do with revelation which has come to Mrs. Schaffer to the effect that 144.OOO un- worthy persons are to be saved That IS they are to be saved because they do not know any better
 Some of them are Apaches and some of them belong to other heather tribes and twenty-four of these elect are sup posed to be residents of Phoenix SO that each of those little tFuncated cones represents the salvation of some citi- zen of this municipality.
 In the meantime meetings are going on day and night in the Schaffer house and lights are kept constantly burning for the guidance of the ungodly.

do, perhaps. to say she could not be convicted of vagrancy.
 According to our Chicago Portia there is no such power, and the offender IS quite free to return to her vagrancy whenever she pleases. It would seem to be necessary. therefore, either to tolerate female vagrancy without limit or to apply the law as in cases or male vagrancy-Chicago Chronicle.

LOVE LIVES LONGEST.

Love lives longest, that is sad,
 Lydie. dear Just the passing love is glad
 For a year; Sweetest roses hide the thorn Blackest night bedecks the morn, And the deepest grief is shorn
 Of its tear. Hearts may break, but love lives on
 In its pain Clouds may roll. but storms are gone
 With the rain; Lasting joy must have its grief. Fares are gathered in the sheaf, Doubts assail true belief
 All in vain. After weeping comes the smile
 Of good cheer Black the sky, but yet awhile,
 And twill clear: Autumn woods are brightest clad Only passing things are glad Love lives longest that is sad,
 Lydie, dear.

Can a Woman Be a Vagrant?

Mulvey was shot in the center of
the forehead, the bullet passing EN-

The Wrong Passenger

Fremont, Neb July 29.-Three
unknown men ATTEMPTED to hold up
Joseph Schneider,a farmer living hT
miles east and north of Fremont yes
terday morning.
The farmer was watering bis hogs
when the men came driving up in Q
a Iickety one-horse buggy. They
asked leave to water their horse,
which was granted. One OF the men
then told Schneider that he had done
some work for the latter several
years ago and that he had come to
,llect 1T. A months pay he said was
due.
A lengthy dispute ensued,
Schneider having no recollection OF
ever having employed the man, and
it soon became evident from the
manner of the men that the state
ment of the spokesman was a mere
sub terfuge for an attempt at holdup.
The fellow finally said: 81 want
that money, and I'm going to have
it,"
"Oh. are your" replied Schneider,
"We'll, see. HE stepped into his
granary and took down shotgun,
put couple Of shells into 1t and
stepped out again. One of the men
swung his hand around to his hip
pucket tn draw weapon, but the de-
termined look in the farmers eyes
persuaded him not to.
NOW you fellows git", commanded
Schneider. "Don't l,Ise any time. "
The trio looked at him again and
then elm ed into their buggy.
They drove away and their Intended
victim has not seen them since.
