Hull House stands for no political,

Tolerance is it's watchword. AS the
years have gone by, hundreds of cir

There are circles and clubs for boys
and youths and men, likewise for
women, young, and little girls. There
are classes of every description, and
instruction, the best to be had, in art,
literature, language, music (vocal and

and dancing and the fees SO small as
to bring the tuition within the reach
of all who desire it.

CAREER OF A BANDIT.

Raisuli, the bandit who kidnapped
Mr.. Perdicaris and his English STEP
son, is said to be very worthy per-
son, a good father, faithful son, the
husband of a minimum of Moslem
wives, and thrifty and enterprising
genius, with a turn for commercial
ism, which has raised him above his
former humble estate as a down
trodden peasant in the tolls of Jewish
money-lenders. He and his fellow
villagers were falling ever deeper in
debt to the Jews; the more they paid,
the more they seemed to owe, and
they felt the tolls closing around
them. Then Raisuli had a brilliant
idea; why not burn the Jewish village
and destroy all evidence of indebted.

and his consequent emancipation was

bearded savage of great muscular
force and few scruples. He has pros.
pered in the work of village-burning,
and has an enthusiastic following, for
whom he is what Napoleon was for
the Old Guard. He is even likely to
rival Bu-Hamara, the pretender, who
nearly shook the throne of Morocco a
year ago. AS Bu-Humara's following
has diminished, the adherents of
Raisuli have increased and multiplied,
and he will certainly gain prestige il
the result of the present situation is
that, under pressure of the powers,
the Sultan sends a special embassy to
the brigand to ask for terms, carrying
rich ransoms for the kidnapped
American and his English relative.

WILLING TO LEAVE STATE If LET
OUT OF PRISON.
WOULD CEASE PRACTICE
Attempted to Procure Perjury, Tried
and Convicted, Sent to Reforma-
tory, Transferred to Prison for Bad
Conduct and Now Makes Applica-
ton to Governor to Be Freed.

Attorney Clinton G.. Price of Mi1wau-
kee was heard before Governor La
Toilette yesterday in an application
for pardon for William Marx of Mil
waukee, a lawyer who was convicted
and sentenced for the crime of at
tempting to procure perjury.
Marx was sentenced to the state re-
formatory at Green Bay in October Of
1903, for term of from Is months to
three years. He remained at the re-
formatory until last April, when he
was transferred to the state prison at
Waupun. The transfer was made by
the state board of control by the ap-
prevail of the governor for the reason
that the prisoner was disorderly in the
reformatory and was exerting violent
influence upon the persons confined
there. Immediately after the transfer
friends in Milwaukee began to try to
get him sent back to the reformatory,
but these proceedings were unsuccess-
full.
The attorney presenting the applica-
ton for pardon represented that the
prisoner desired his freedom and would
agree, if let out of prison, to leave the
state of Wisconsin and discontinue the
practice Of law. A large petition from
Milwaukee was presented in favor of
the release. 1t is understood that the
authorities by whom Marx was tried
and convicted are not opposed to the
proposition. The governor took the ap-
plication under advisement

FOUNDING OF HULL HOUSE.
How the Wonderful Work Of Jane Ad-
dams had it's Birth.

Something more than fifteen years
ago, Jane Addams and Ellen G.. Starr
made a European tour of investiga-
ton to see for themselves what was
being done there to better the condi-
ton of the laboring class. The re-
suit was an effort to copy and carry
on in Chicago a similar work to that
of Toynbee Hall, London.
There stood, at this time, on South
Halsted street, queer, rambling old
structure that had been erected in
1856 by Charles j. Hull, writes Mar
jorie Russell in Housekeeper. The
fine old mansion had passed long since
from glory to squalor, and yet, despite
the various vicissitudes through which
it had come, it maintained a certain
dignity of aspect, it was still Hull
House, Today it is the center OF
group of eight buildings, which have
been erected on property adjoining 1t,
and which, like itself, have been do
mated rent free until 1850 by the lega-
tee of the Hull estate, Miss Culver.
On September A. 1889, armed with
something even mightier and stronger
than the courage of their convictions,
Miss Adams and Miss Starr moved
into Hull House, having rented the
whole of the upper floor and one room
below. Here they set up housekeep-
ing and began sowing seed that has
since sent forth blossom and fruit OF
kind and quality that has won the
admiration of the civilized world.
The young women, still in their TWEEN
ties, worked without ostentation to
establish between themselves and

CONFERENCE FAR AWAY.
President Preparing to Gail The Hague
Convention Again.

TFSSIQSnI Preparing 10 Vail TIC TTdSuS
Convention Again.
Washington, D. c., Oct. 14-The
president is preparing to redeem his
promise to the delegates to the inter-
parliamentary peace conference to Sc
cure another meeting of plenipotenti-
aries of the powers signatory to The
Hague convention, with a. view to re-
vising and adding to that instrument.
Complex machinery of this kind is diff
fcult to set in motion and if the ordi-
nary course is followed in these nego-
tiations it will be at least year and
probably a longer period before the
meeting can be held.
1t will be necessary for the state de-
partment to address separate notes to
every government represented at the
last conference inviting suggestions as
to the time and place of meeting and
without doubt, in the spirit Of caution
that is always exhibited by diplomats,
many of these governments will, be-
fore giving their assent to the pro-
posed conference, seek to secure an
ironclad agreement as to the scope Of
the conference. Many limitations are
expected to be proposed in this way
and it is realized that much difficulty
will be experienced in securing har-
mony.

Wheeling, w. Va, Oct. 14.-David B..
Hill injected new argument into the
democratic campaign here last night,
a straight forward condemnation of
Government by Injunction" and the
demand for law granting jury trial
to persons held in contempt Of court,
for the violation of a restraining order
of a federal judge. The democratic
national platform sustains this posi-
ton, although in guarded terms. Mr..
Hill recited the history Of the use of
the injunction in labor disputes and
the difficulty of finding an adequate
remedy. He told of introducing and
securing the passage Of the bill
through the senate in 1896 to this end;
he then recited the republican oppo-
sition in the house since that time,
which was the ground for making the
question party issue to be called to
the front at this time.

of the club, and treasurer of the ma
tional republican committee, presided
and introduced Secretary Taft.
Mr. Taft declared that in issuing tho
executive pension order President
Roosevelt had only followed the prece-
dents set by Presidents Cleveland and
Mckinley. Discussing trusts, Mr.. Taft
pointed out that under President
Roosevelt's direction. the attorney
general proceeded against a combina-
ton of railroads, which it allowed to
stand as legal would justify an0
might have led to the union Of all the
railroads of the country under a gil
gantic trust

Several years ago in exploring an
Indian mound in the southwest part of
Missouri, a quantity of corn was found.
Some of this corn was planted, and,
to the surprise of all, it terminated
and matured. How long it had lain in
the mound, on which large trees were
growing, no one can conjecture
probably several hundred years. Last
fall a western editor secured a hand,
full of this corn and now has a dozen
hills of it growing in his garden. The
grains are about the usual size of
field corn, but are of deep brown
notified with yellow.
