An Old Rhyme.

What is commonly spoken OF a.
Mother Shipton's prophecy is q pIec,
of rhyme which was first printed
about 1862. II Is as follows:
Carriages without horses shall 70.
And accidents all the world with woe
Around the earth thoughts shall Ay
In the twiukling Of an eye.
The world upside down shall be.
And gold be found at the root oi q tree
Through hills mon shall ride,
And no horse be at his side.
Under water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk
In the air men shall be seen,
In black, in white, In green.
Iron in the water shall fioat,
As easy as a wooden boat.
Gold shall be found and shown,
In land that's not now known.
Fire and waters shall wonders do.
England shall at last admit foe.
The world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty one.
This rhyme was published in an
alleged reprint of u cheap book ver-
sion and was included with abou,
ten others. according 10 Notes and
Queries, In book issued by Charles
Hindley, Of Brighton, England. For
a number OF years il was supposed
by many that il was what il pur.
ported TO be, namely, q prophecy
uttered by Mother Shipton In the
first half OF the sixteenth century.
Several persons. however. cast
doubts on its authenticity. and In
April. 1873. Hindley wrote to Notes
and Queries and, TO use the words ol
that periodical, made clean breast
of having fabricated the prophecy.
There is some doubt as 20 whether
there ever was a Mother Shipion.
The Century Encyclopedias says she
was born near Knareshorough In
Yorkshire in July, 1888 and died
about 1859. II also says in regard
to her that she was "a half mythical
English prophecies. baptized Ursula
Southiel, who married Tony Shipton,
a builder. and according to tradition
was the child of Agatha Shipton
and the devil" Other authorities
say she was probably wholly myth
cal. Various other prophecies oI
less interest than the one quoted
are attributed to her.-Exchsnge.

LAWSON DEFIANT
IN FACE OF SUIT
Declares Himself Eager for Any
Sort of Action Standard Oil >
May Bring.
New York Sun Special Service.

Boston, Nov. 23.-Thomas W. Lawson
gives. out the following signed state
ment in reply to the suit begun against
him by Frederick G.. Coudert and Paul
Fuller Of New York:
In regard to the suits and rumors Of
SUITS civil and criminal, brought and to
be brought against me by Standard Oil,
the insurance companies and individuals
because. of my story, ''Frenzied Finance
I can simply say: Bring them along, one
and all, and I will be found on hand pre-
pared to give battle, and to a finish, CIV
ing no odds or mercy and asking for none
I have been telling a few raw truths
and in this age of dollars, no man will be
allowed to distribute truths about finan-
cial rascality without paying the price.
My truths are big ones, and I suppose
the price will be equally big, but the
American people may rest easy that
whatever the price I'll pay it and not ask
any sympathy for doing so, an dthey may
rest easy about another fact: I'll make
those who have been p1undering the peo
pie during the past ten years pay price
to which mine will appear like a light
shoe compared with the inquisitorial rock
of the dark ages. Still another thing the
public can rely upon: If those parts Of
my story that have already been pub
lished don't start up all the suit-bringers,
the coming ones will, for the coming ones
are coming regardless of all consequences
to myself or others.
Let the American people make no mis-
take, II o'clock is being struck at the
while-you- factory, where multi mill
lionaires have been turned out from the
raw material and unless 1 miss my guess
it will take more court trials than there
are in America to drown the ominous
sound of that high noon bell.
In regard to the pressure being brought
on Washington to deny Everybody's Mag
azine the privilege of the mails, that is
the business Of the publishers, not mine.
but I would not hesitate to express the
| opinion that the present authorities at
Washington will not allow such an out
rage at this stage of the scrimmage. A
few months further along, when my chap
| tiers may perhaps set the mailbags afire-
| WELL that will be another story.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK

Improve University: Avenue.

To the Editor of the Journal.
The clubwomen of Minneapolis and st.
Paul have taken up a work which should
receive encourag ement from every organ
ization and from every individual inter-
ested in the improvement of the great
thorofare which unites the two Cities
For more than a quarter of a CEN
tury University avenue has been dis
grace to modern civilization. When it is
not a sea of mud, it IS d desert Of dust
and as rough to drive, 9oVef as a corduroy
road At the time fHe State fair was be-
ing held it was impossible to drive over
it faster than d walk, and to those who
visited the, great fair with strangers it
was a source of shame and humiliation.
This avenue, which for several miles of
it's length is 1870 feet wide, could, at a
comparatively small expense, be made
very attractive by making a grass plot
in the center, by planting four rows Of
elm trees fifty feet apart and by finish
ing the drives on either side Of the street
railway tracks with the gravel that is
abundant at several places on the line.<
If trees had been planted on this avenue
twenty-five years age 1t would today be
one of the most noted thorofares in the
country, the trees would have shaded the
passengers who ride in the cars, as well
as those who drive, and it would have
been a source Of pride instead of being a
disgrace to two of the most prosperous
cities in the county,
Let us begin the work OF Improvement
now, that visitors who ride in the cars
or drive from the state capital to the
state university, ir the years to come,
will commend our good taste and public
spirit, instead of 1narYeling, as they do
now, at the lack Of enterprise in neglect
ing the main thorofare between two
great cities. &c. M Loring.

Harmony Of Governors.

Governor Van SAINT, Governor Cum
minis and Governor La Toilette are GER
tainly representing the sentiment Of
their states when they urge tariff re-
vision and the passage Of the Cooper
bill, giving the interstate commerce
commission power to fix railroad rates.
When they laid their case before Pres
ident Roosevelt they found friendly
ears, and no doubt the executive in
fuence will be used on congress in both
the desired directions.
It is rather new idea, this co-opera-
ton of governors. It was started in
suspicious style three years ago, when
the. northwestern governors met at
Helena in response to Governor Van
SAINT g initiative and started the anti
merger ball to rolling. Iowa and Wis
5eonsin were not represented on that oc-
casion, but their governors are both well
known for their progressive views on
railroad regulation. Their friendship
and moral support has been extended
to the Minnesota governor all along the
in his fight. They are also in accord
on the question Of tariff revision, and

Dissolving RAYS of Peace.

The recent talk of arbitration and in
Cervention with respect to the fierce
struggle in the far orient has evaporat-
ed and the atmosphere along the Shak-
he river is of deeper leaden hue than
heretofore. If Japan ever sounded the
western nations to get their views on
Intervention and INDUCED any hope of
relief from the burden she has assumed,
she knows full we'll now that her an
tagonist, treacherous old Adam Fad, his
torieally slippery, mole-like, cruel, I'M
relenting, is firmly resolved to fight
to the bitter end and strain all the
resources of the big empire to retain
his hold on southern Manchuria and con-
tinue his movement on Korea.
There is every indication that Gen
eral Kuropatkin is concentrating all his
resources along the Shak-he river, aug
mented by reinforcements, and that the
Japs are massing troops there also for
titanic struggle with the hitherto
baffed invader, while Port Arthur is
apparently approaching capitulation,
under short rations, diminishing am
munition and the persistent assaults of
the Japs, who fear neither men nor
their instruments Of warfare.
The Russians hope much from the
Baltic fleet, if it ever reaches the Vel
low sea. If that feet continues to be.
have as it did in the North sea, under
the command of officers who become
panic stricken over visions of Jap war:
ships of their own creation, they are
likely to bring into oriental waters
only a remnant of the armada which
sailed so gaily out Of the Gulf of Fin.
land in August. After all that has
been said about the pleadings of the
czar's relatives in England and Den
mark. to which the tears Of women add
ed force; after all the talk in Europe
about arbitration and intervention in
the interest Of peace, it is reported
from st. Petersburg that the mere men
ton of mediation arouses the ire OF
those in authority, while the peace sug
gestions are not thought worthy OF
consideration, and talk Of American in
tervention is characterized as Gun
friendly.' It will require another cam
paign, such as the Japs are sure te
offer Russia, to make the latter think
she has undertaken too large job.

The Russian Reform Movement.

The cars intimation last year that
it was his purpose: to strengthen and
develop the welfare Of the local nobility
and the peasantry by revising the laws
affecting the rural population, and his
appointment of a commission to carry
out such purpose, led to the belief by
many Russians who longed to see the re-
formatory act of the Gear Alexander II
carried forward from serf emancipa-
tion to representative government, that
something would be accomplished at
last to put their country in touch with
the tine-spirit. The car unfortunately
placed at the head Of the commission
the late M. de Plehve, minister of the
interior, who was as bitter in his oppo-
sition to reforms, administrative and
otherwise, as any Of the reactionary
Russian officials.
Since the birth Of the czarevitch, the
project has been revived under Plehve's
successor, Sviatopolk-Mirski, who can
point to the facts that the zemstvos, the
local elective assemblies of the districts
and the provinces, have been given pri-
ority over the state in the collection of
taxes, and peasants, for the first time,
have been given the privilege Of going
outside Of their respective communes.
None Of the local bodies in Russia
have any real independence, much as
they have always been lauded as repre-
sentative bodies with responsibility.
Their acts have always been subjected
to the close scrutiny Of the representa-
tives of the central government, and are
annulledif they conflict with the bureau
cratic views. The zemstvos have
taken courage, by the reformatory dis
position Of the new minister Of the in
terror, and they have, according to a st.
Petersburg dispatch, in a memorial to
the car, declared as "imperatively nee
essary" that national representatives
especially elected, should meet as a
legislative body ''to make laws, regu-
{ late revenue and expenditure, and con
troll the legality of the action of the ad.
ministration. The fact that this me.
mortal was signed by over hundred
zemstvo presidents, including thirty
presidents Of provincial zemstvo com
mittees out of the thirty-two attending
the meeting, suggests that the sluggish
mass of the Russian rural population is
moving to some purpose. III
Whether Nicholas has the courage tc
second the extraordinary motion of the
zemstvo officials, and begin reforma
tory work, which none Of his predeces
sors dare undertake, remains to be seen
