In Philadelphia

Paul Morton. secretary of the navy,
went to Philadelphia 10 attend din
ner given by a few of his old railroad
friends Among the guests were Presi-
dent Underwood, of the Erie, and John
p. Green, first vice president of the
Pennsylvania Naturally, the slowness
of Philadelphia was discussed freely.
After several of the railroad men, in
cluding s Ssoretary Morton, had said 4
few things about the staid Quaker
town, Mr.. Green took up the cudgels
for Philadelphia. He made an elabor-
ate defense. showing that Philadelphia
Is one of the most progressive, gup-to-
date, epterprising cities in the country.
President Underwood listened at
tentively. When Mr.. Green had finish
ed Underwood said: Il don't see how
you make all that out. Why, this aft
ernoon 1 went into a book store on
Chestnut street and found they were
selling that book of Pastor Wagner's.
The Simple Life under the title Of
The Pace That Kills."
Further along in the dinner good
things to eat came under discussion.
Secretary Morton announced his fond
ness for snails.
Il eat them in almost every city in
the country. but never in Philadelphia"
Why not here?" asked Mr. Green
"Oh," replied Mr.. Morton, I can't
get them. suppose they are too slow
TO catch them."-New York World.

more know him through his accom-
plishments as vocalist, and this ac-
complishment came TO the notice of the
managers and producers of the univer-
sity circus. They at once bespoke
Master Carrs services.
Singing at the circus could not inter-
fere with him in his work selling
q o b e S and so he went. His first
appearance was a pleasant surprise for
those VINO heard him.
During temporary lull, arranged for
MN In the programme, he arose from
his seat in the audience and sang a
popular ballad in a way that brought
forth burst Of of-applause that plainly
demanded an encore. Master Carl re-
sponded with another and then with
another, and then with a fourth song
The crowd still wanted more. but there
was some circus yet to come and upon
the assurance from the ringmaster that
the newsboy- -soloist would positively
appear In the concert, after the main
circus, they quieted down and stayed
TO the concert.
There again Master Carts first song
called enough applause TO turn the
head of a De Reszke. He sang an
other. IL was a topical parody on Mr..
Dooley that fairly brought the house
down. Master Carl sang il even better
than he had any of the former, for he
was more interested. The first verse
and chorus will show why:
Since Jones has been elected and installed
his pious crew,
Minneapolis now is famous for the things
she does not do
The gambling halls are all closed I'D, cops
We no longer need
But II you want to know what's on, I'll
tell You what TO read.

After T he G 10 b e song had been
finished Ii took two more responses to
wild encores to get the audience quiet
ed down TO point where the perform
ance could proceed as per programme
1t was q, notable triumph for the news
boy lad, and, be it said to his credit, he
is selling papers today just as though
he were oniy Carl Swain, newsboy, in
stead of the hero of the great univer-
Sity circus.

BOYLE SAYS CARTER
MADE CONFESSION
Minister Uses County Jail Prls-
oner in Discussing DR..
OsIer's Theory

Dr- W. H W. Boyle of the House of
hope church agreed and disagreed
with Dr. Osler's theory in his sermon
last hignt and added to the interest of
the congregation by telling how he
had obtained confession from a pris-
trial.
The large congregation listened
Dreatniessiy TO the very end of DIR.
Boyie's discourse, which was delivered
time"
The sermon dealt with the provi-
dence or opportunity, right investment
of character, creation of chances"
ana their acceptance. The speaker il
lustrated his points forcibly, and as an
incident TO show the opposite of his
picture he took up the case of W.. F.
carter the Northern Pacific dining
car conductor, who is now in the
county JAN awaiting arraignment on a
charge of embezzlement.
He told how he had gone to the pris-
oner TO see if anything could be done
Ior hlm and told how, when he was
IN the cell OF Carter the prisoner con-
Iessed TO taking the money and losing
IL in 81. Paul gambling house.
Dr. Boyle said that he would be
ready at any time to go before the
grand jury and tell Just where the house
is located where Carter lost the money.
he drew dark picture of the young
mans home. How his wife is dying of
consumption at the city hospital and
how he mas three small and helpless
children.
According to the confession of Car
ter, the minister said that the man
had come in from trip over the road
with the receipts of the car in his
possession. He said he was i'm need
OF money and played at one of the st.
Paul houses. He lost $50 at one sitting
and the rest at short intervals, and
could not get together enough to make
good his shortage
In reference to the 0sler theory, he
pointed out that many great deeds had
been done by men under even legal
age. He specified numerous notable
acts of men between the ages of 16
and 80. and said that DR.. Osler was
probably thinking of the potential en-
thusiasm of earlier years and the
strong inventive genius which is an
attribute OF young manhood. But he
said that the stability born of long
experience and discipline was the
steadying force of the world. This, he
said, furnished the influential sweep
of matured conviction of later life.
In sustaining his point he cited
Plato, Socrates, Plutarch, Franklin.
Bismarck. Gladstone Eliot and Nc
Gosh. All these men remained full OF
vitality and force because they were
temperate and held themselves under
the proper restraint.

Armed With Rifle He FIouts
Authority of State and
Nation s,.s-

MADISON, Wis. March 12.-Nulli-
flying Wisconsin Law and successfully
setting aside efforts of the state. judicial
authorities, John F. Dietz, the Sawyer
county backwoods settler, now defies
the federal courts, the United States
government having joined with the
state of Wisconsin in useless efforts to
enforce judicial mandates.
For many months Dietz has defied
the judicial authorities in that section
of the state and every attempt made
to enforce orders issued by Circuit
Judge Parish.
Armed With Rifle
Armed with a Winchester rifle.
Dietz, single handed and alone, has
maintained his position against the
authority of the court and all the off,
GERS it could command. Failing to Sc
cure an enforcement of the remedies
granted by the circuit court against
DietZ, the Chippewa Lumber and
Boom company made a transfer of its
right of action growing out of the
Thornapple dam case TO the Mississippi
River Logging company, one of its
Kindred corporations, composed large
ly of nonresident stockholders.
AS a result OF this transfer of prop
erty and rights, complaint, summons
and an action in the nature of an in
functional order was issued by Judge
A. l.. Sanborn of the United States
district court, against Dietz and the
papers placed in the hands of Deputy
United States Marshal w. T. Pugh.
Marshal Gives Up
Marshal Pugh returned from Sawyer
county tonight, and after week OF
effort, in which he got within forty or
fifty feet of DietZ, acknowledges. his
failure to secure service of the papers.
When Marshal Pugh got near the
backwoodsman's cabin, Dietz, Win
chester in hand, warned him away and
made his disappearance in the woods,
refusing to talk with him or to permit
the representative of federal authority
to get within more than shouting dis
tance of him.
The papers in the case are for a
civil action and required personal
service upon Dietz and his wife. After
making every possible attempt to Sc
cure service Marshal Pugh gave up the
task and is to make his report to the
attorneys in the case.

contentious of the company for the
abridgement of the gross earnings tax,
an exclusive franchise, and their own
control of fares, were readily conceded
by the city. That was no compromise.
1t was unconditional surrender"
While stating that he had heretofore
taken no aggressive part in the settle
ment of the dispute between the city
and the street railway company, Rep
resentative Hammergren frankly said
that he failed to see where the city
gained anything. He stated that he
was willing to lend his suite of offices
and his influence in an effort to ar
range for a mass meeting of the peo-
pie of st. Paul, where the entire mat
ter could be gone over and consensus
of opinion arrived at.
Bad Bargain for the City
"A mighty bad bargain for the city,

have not studied the matter from a le-
gal standpoint, but simply from COM
mon sense view. In my opinion a
great crime was committed against ST.
Paul when that agreement was ratified
by the common council, and If there
is any possible way of getting out Of
it, it certainly is the duty of the proper
city officials to leave no stone unturn-
ed or no system untried."
Henry G. James, an attorney residing
at 1043 Laurel avenue, stated yester-
day that he couldn't see where the city
had gained much by the arrangement,
AS to the legality of the measure, he
said that he did not care to talk, as he
hadn't studied the agreement carefully
enough.
IF the compromise agreement as
adopted by the city council and ac-
cepted by the street railway company
could be put to a vote of the people of
the First ward,' said a prominent First
ward politician, there would be an
almost unanimous vote cast to turn the
matter down. / haven't talked of the
agreement very much outside of this
ward and consequently do not know
the sentiment of the other parts of the
city, but SO far as the First ward is
concerned there is such strong feel
ing for revision that if the rest of the
city was equally interested, there could
be no doubt that some action would be
ordered by the common council for
testing the validity of the agreement"

who were not greatly interested in the
agreement. are beginning to think that
an issue of great moment TO the city
must be involved that would cause a
member Of the assembly to come over
halfway across the continent for the
sole purpose of casting vote.
On the other hand, alarm is felt by
those people who were unduly partisan
in the adoption OF the compromise. The
coming of DIR. Schiffmann, taken in
connection with the expressed views of
other -asseri1biymen, looks to them like
the handwriting on the wall.

The Gambling Evil.

The lesson taught many people
who have tried to beat the board Of
trade do not seem to impress very
heavily on the minds of hundreds Of
other people who evidently think
they are a little wiser than the ones
who lost their dollars through this
kind Of speculation.
The fact became evident this week
that a Milwaukee man lost one mil
lion and a half in trying to get q
corner on the market, and in the
future you will continue to see the
fellows who are working for $50 a
month trying to do what this man
was unable to do with a million and
a half dollars.
The fascination to get something
for nothing will no doubt continue
to the end of the world, and forever
after.
Gambling on the market seems to
be a game that is hard to stamp out,
and all the lessons Of ruined homes
and lost fortunes seem to have made
no difference in the desires of GER
tain people who continue to try to
beat the game" still thinking that
they may some time hold four aces
One sad thing about these failures
IS that many times the money of
other peoples used, the manipula-
tor thinking that he will soon be
able tomake it back, and no one will
be the wiser. Then the bomb falls,
and the man has not only lost his
own fortune, but if he be a banker,
he has probably lost the savings of
many poor people. He is ~disgraced
and goes to the pen. The saddest
part Of the affair is that his wife and
children have to share the disgrace
with him. This ought not to be so,
but it is true to a large extent, and
human nature will no doubt continue
to have it that way.
Gambling is one of the worst of
evils, whether it be on the stock ex-
change or the game of dice in the
back alley.

Hon. g. B. Humphreys.

The Commonwealth has had oc-
casion heretofore to command Hon.
G.. B. Humphreys for the splendid
record he has 'made since. he was
chosen to represent this district in
Congress. Nothing in his career
has caused the editor and owner of
this paper to change his opinion Of
Mr.. Humphreys, and while there are
other worthy aspirants for the place
now held by Mr.. Humphreys, The
Commonwealth sees no reason why
a change shauld be made, and we
believe that Mr.. Humphreys should
and will be returned.
1t is only justice to this writer to
say that these views are in accord
with the recognized policy and posi-
ton Of the paper before and since
he purchased The Commonwealth,
and that as editor of The Iazoo Sen
tinel, before he acquired ownership
Of The Commonwealth, he has been
a staunch supporter and defender OF
Mr.. Humphreys against what he
thought were unworthy attacks upon
him. Any sentiments or views ex-
pressedin these columns contrary to
the above did not voice the opinion
Of the editor of the paper, and were
used without his knowledge, and
contrary to the previously known and
expressed policy of The Common
wealth.

In the death of General Fitzhugh
Lee, the South loses another of its
great and noble characters. He was
perhaps the most il~lustrious of the
Lees of Virginia, excepting Light
horse Harry and General Robert E.
Lee, and it is of such grand families
as this has made the South what she
is. 1t is not probable that he left
behind much of this worlds goods,
but far better than this, he has left a
record of noble virtue.

1t becomes more noticeable every

On these heros graves, the memory

Under New Ownership.

This will be the last issue of the
Commonwealth under my owner
ship and management. | have con
tracted to sell the plant, good will
and subscription accounts Of the
paper to Hon. ]. L. Gillespie, and
the formal transfer Of the property
will take place Saturday night,
and Mr.. Gillespie will assume charge
of the property Monday morning.
1t was with great reluctance, and
after mature deliberation, that [ de
cided to sell the property. Since
the day | took charge Of the Com
monWealth it has been a paying
investment, and it is in a better con-
ditiOn o than at any time since |
bought it. But my newspaper and
other interests in YazOO City are
making such demands upon my
time that I find it impossible to de
vote the time to the Commonwealth
that it deserves without materially
interfering with my other interests.
For that reason, | have decided to
sell the paper, after having previous
ly declined to entertain several very
tlattering propositions to dispose
of it.
During the year and a half of my
ownership of the Commonwealth,
the paper has steadfastly and unrc-
mittingly advocated those things
which it believed would be for the
Development of the best interests of
Greenwood and LeHore county, and
if the Commonwealth has contrib
uted anything toward the achieve
ment Of those things which make for
the betterment of Borrowing Green
WOOD my efforts have not been in
vain.
| leave the Greenwood field with
regrets. Her people have been hos
pitable and kind; her merchants and
business men generally have been
liberal in their patronage of the pa
per, and these things shall ever be
remembered with a feeling Of kind
ness and appreciation.
In turning Yer the paper to Mr..
Gillespie, nothing need be added.
He has been IN the newspaper bust
ness so long in Greenwood that he
IS known to practically every man in
the county, and under his guidance
the paper will continue to work for
the best interests of the city and
county.
Mr., Gillespie has bought all I'M
paid subscription accounts, but all
other accounts due the paper up to
and including May 6 are the proper
ty of the undersigned, and will be
in the hands Of Mr.. 0. @. Blow for
collection. In this connection, |
would ask that these accounts be
settled as speedily as possible.
