CHICAGO PARTIES PRIME MOVERS
Col. C. l.. Walker and Judge Garter
Argue Case for
State.

Col. C.. l.. Walker has returned from
Springfield, where he yesterday was
one of the attorneys in the injunction
proceedings in which the payment OF
the appropriation of the last state
Legislature for the maintenance of the
Illinois and Michigan canal was pro-
hibited by order of Judge Thompson.
The injunction suit, he says,
was brought by Representative
Burk, of Chicago, against the
state auditor, state treasurer and
the Illinois and Michigan canal
commissioners. The purpose of the bill
is to enjoin the payment of the APP
preparation made by the last general
assembly for the maintenance of the
canal, upon the alleged ground that
the appropriation law is unconstitu-
tional.
The complainant was represented
by Messrs. barrow and Masters, and
Mr.. Bagby, of Chicago, who applied
to Judge Thompson for the issuance
of a temporary injunction. Attorney
General Hamlin asked for time to pre-
pare an answer, but the court refus-
GU W grant a DOSl anu SSb
the case for argument at 1870 p. M.
Entered Appearance.
The defendants attorneys announc-
ed to the court that they could not
enter into hearing upon the merits
without an answer, but entered their
appearance specially for the purpose
of contrasting the jurisdiction of the
court of the persons and subject mat
ter, as they were officers and agents
of the state and the property was the
property of the state, and the con
stitution expressly provides that the
state cannot be sued, and the statute
provides that the canal commission
ers cannot be sued.
This question was argued by Assist
ant Attorney General Joseph y. Car
ter, and {. L. Walker. of this city, on
behalf of the defendants. but the
court held that he did not consider
the state To be a party, and as the
bill seemed to state a cause for in
junction. and against which there was
no showing made, he would grant the
temporary injunction.
The defendants will at an early day
make Il motion to dissolve the iniunc-
ton supported by an answer. when
the question can be determined upon
the merits.

MARITIME SHEEP RANCHES.
Use to Which the Rocky Islands Of
Maine Coast Are Put.

Use to Which the Rocky Islands OF
Maine Coast Are Put.
When an island off the Maine coast
Is good for nothing else it is turned
into a maritime sheep ranch, and much
money is made in that way, men from
other States having invested large
sums In the purchase Of islands and
stock. The sheep are turned loose and
left to get a living as best they can.
The islands appear barren, but the
sheep get along very well, and are in
variably fat when their owners come
with boats to take them off for slaugh.
ter in the fall. On some of the islands
there is no water whatever, but the
sheep get what moisture they need
is scrubby and scarce the animals cul-
tivate a fondness for various kinds of
seaweeds, which diet is said to give an
excellent flavor to the mutton.
A few years ago much complaint was
made by well meaning but poorly In
formed persons Of the supposed cruel
ty of leaving sheep to take care Of
themselves, without shelter, on these
barren, wind-swept isles, but it has
been demonstrated that the sheep suf-
fer no hardship whatever or they would
not thrive as they do. 1t is related by
one man who had several hundreds Of
sheep on Metinic island that he built,
at considerable expense, a warm shell
ter for them, because his wife was con-
stantly expressing the fear that the
poor sheep would freeze to death on
cold nights. The kindly sheep breeder
found that not single one Of the ami
mails had taken advantage Of the shell
ter provided in one Of the coolest win
tiers that ever blew on the coast Of
Maine. Sheep will huddle together
where they like and cannot be induced
to go into the sheds built for them on
several Of the islands.
In the fall, says the New York Trib-
une, the island ranchers go off in do
ries and bring some of the latest of
the sheep ashore to market, tying their
legs together and tossing them into the
boats like so many bundles, and at the
same time new stock is carried to the
islands. In the spring a trip is made
to get the lambs and the stock is again
replenished. The expense of sheep
raising on the islands is small and the
profits are correspondingly large.

GIRL STUDENTS AT ABERDEEN.
Life in the University Town Between
the Don and the Dee.

Life in the University Town Between
the Don and the Dee.
According to London Lady, the Alb
erdeen University Court, after a ten
years trial. has no reason to regret
the admission of girls to Aberdeen Uni
versity. There are two ancient col
leges-King's, founded in 1904, and
Marischal's, founded about century
later. Not only in arts, but in medi
cine, do the girl students distinguish
themselves. In the former, for ex-
ample, the CDR. Black Prize in Latin"
and the "Seafield Gold Medal in Lat
in were won in the winter sessions Of
1901 by the same young lady, while in
Greek many honors have fallen to the
lot of the girl students. The Fife
Jameson Gold Medal for Anatomy"
the 'Lizars Gold Medal for the same
study, have been carried off by girl
students, and it should be noted that
the first-named prize is considered the
''blue ribbon" Of that branch Of study.
Girl students have also won laurels
for practical work in the dissecting
room.
From these facts it will be seen that
girl student life in Aberdeen is quite
different from life at Girton, Newn-
ham and other girls colleges which
are 'among the universities, but not
Of them" Aberdeen is university for
women students as we'll as for male
students, and the former are on exact
~ the same footing as the latter, and
share along with them every privilege
of their alma mater. Side by side they
sit in the classes, together they go up
to the exams, and the girl student,
especially if a medical" considers it
a point of honor to secure for herself,
IL possible, the best prizes and medals
Of the university.
These girl students are interesting
figures in the streets of the Granite
city, attired as they usually are in the
scarlet gown and black and scarlet
tasseled trencher Of the Aberdeen
undergraduate, or in the robe and
black and white hood of the M. A. de-
gree, which, when capped" they
wear with q laudable amount of hon.
est pride over their evening gowns at
the graduation evening reception in
the beautiful Mitchell hall Of Mari
schal College.

sphere of influence Il South America
is greater than that of the United
States or any other power. For many
years German colonists have been
pouring into Brazil and the other re-
publics of eastern South America. In
Brazil and the Argentine Republic
there are at the present time no less
than 100000 inhabitants either of
German nationality or German descent,
sufficient in numbers and influence to
seize upon the governments of these
countries any time they shall elect.
Nor is this contingency far removed.
The German colonist is not asslm1lat-
i've, his sturdy Chauvinism and Teu-
tonicism Is not obliterated or altered
by contact with alien conditions ana
peoples. It is this complexion of the
German character, If we give to 1t the
respect which it deserves, which must
needs provide serious cause for retec-
ton in considering the continuance OF
our moral and economic dominance In
the Western Hemisphere. 1t Is certain
that, having the necessary physical
power, these Germans in South Ameri-
| ca will not long permit continuance
Of the disturbing and anarchical condi
tons characterizing the present condi-
| ton Of the countries in which they
are domiciled, which prevents any real
progress and arrests legitimate eco
nomic and industrial Advancement.
Who, therefore, could measure the dan
ger If these self-same German col
onists, in order to safeguard properly
| the diversified and valuable interests
which they have at stake, should deem
it advisable to take the reins Of gov
eminent into their own hands?

Senator Teller, of Colorado. will
never forget Christmas day, 1880. It
was on that Christmas morning he al
lowed to slip through his hands a
chance to make a million dollars with
out putting up a single dollar. Two Of
Senator Teller's friends proposed to
purchase the Robert e. Lee mine at
Leadville. They were able to buy 1t
for 100000. On Christmas morning
they called around to see Mr. Teller,
told him what they proposed to do and
urged him to take a one-third interest
in the property.
"But haven't any money" protested
Mr. Teller.
"It makes no difference" he was
told. "You can give your notes, and
before they come due We'll take from
the mine more gold than will be nee
essary to pay them"
But suppose we don't realize our
expectations?" suggested the Senator,
with caution.
"Then we Will put up the money W
meet the notes. and you need not trou-

Senator Teller was assured that his
friends knew exactly what they had in
hand. but he didn't 60 in. he thought
as he had not the money to put into
the undertaking he had no right to
reap the reward. If there was to be

cd him in the deal, but no persuasion
could get him to accept the offer. One
month later the Robert e. Lee mine
had yielded 100000 Of gold, and In

out. 1t proved to be one of the richest
pockets of gold that has ever been
found.-Washingto Star.

Over in corner Of Europe hundreds
Of dark skinned men are digging up
buried cities, and the wise ones have
found beneath one set of ruins another,
and below that still another, and no
man can say how many cities and GEN.
turtles lie still further beneath the
ground. Above, the sands shift with
the wind, the sun shines, children are
born. grow up and die, and the works
Of man crumble and decay. Nothing
formed by mans hands endures. 1t is a
far cry from the buried cities to bed
side in Cincinnati, where a man lay
dying and gazing into the dear face of
a sick woman who had been carried to
his bedside to take a final look at the
man she had ardently loved through
the long years. Mamma" said the
dying man, you have been a
good wife and mother. You have
never failed me, and l have always
Philip" she said, and there were tears
in her voice, "all that you can possibly
say Of me can say of you. You were
always good to me and to the children.
You have made your wife happy"
Nothing formed by mans hands en-
dures. But love lasts for the ages. The
kindness and sympathy and tenderness
that makes a man and a woman cling
together, fills their lives with hope and
happiness, is a fire that warns human
ity. 1t is pure gold. Time and adver-
sity do not destroy it. 1t is more beauti-
full than field of flowers, and 1t BIOS
SONS and spreads and blossoms again
in other hearts, until who shall tell the
limits or the life Of one good deed?
When this man lay dying he didn't
think Of his medals his fame, his posi-
ton, the material things that had come
into his life. They were as are the
buried cities, builded by man, enduring
for while, to be lost in the future
But the fame of love burned strong and
clear in those last days, and those who
study mankind and realize the short
ness Of life and the vastness Of eter-
nifty must know that the true greatness
Of the man lay in that treasure that
cannot die-love for his family and for
humanity.
