PRoEsssloN AND CONDUCT.

A T THE recent meeting OF the First
4 n District Union Republican Com
mittee. Or. George W. Marshall made
speech. Among other things he is
reported TO have said:
II believe in a square deal. in fair
and honorable treatment OF an men, in
politics as we'll as elsewhere" and
Il believe Ia majority rule Anything
else is either an ollgarchy or mon
archy or il is anarchy"
Now passing over the point as TO
whether anybody cares a continental
what the Doctor believes. We say that
he doesn't believe in the above al all
although he may think that me does.
n he believes in the square dear
ii is more than he did last winter when
he used his influence to prevent the
Republicans Of the upper end Of this
state from electng a Senator. n he
believes today in square deal" he
should use any influence he has 10 undo
his work Of last winter
And DR. Marshall says he believes in
majority rule. but he doesn't He OPP
poses plan TO make conventions thor
oughly representative of majority OF
Republicans. He Is not willing that
the majority Of Republican voters. re-
siding in New Castle county shall send
to conventions "a majority Of delegates
Neither does he believe In majority
rule in the Legislature. He believes
that in one instance 1t is proper for
$4,000 people TO be represented by hve
Senators while 10000 people shall be
represented two Senators. He may
argue that this is wise and expedlent,
but he must admit that in these in
stances he does not believe in major

In fact, Dr. Marshall believes in tho
Square deal" and in majority rule Ia
the extent that they give him and his
party an advantage. His confession OF

JAPANESE MIRRORS.
Some That Are Supposed to Possess
Magic Quality

Magic Quality.
Some Japanese mirrors are supposed
to possess a magic quality, which has
rendered them objects of superstitious
reverence for centuries, and, in fact,
it has even puzzled modern science not
a little. When strong beam Of light
Is so reflected from one Of them as to
be thrown upon screen, there appears
upon the screen an image in delicate
tracery perfectly reproducing the pat
tern engraved in relief on the back Of
the mirror, which, Of course, is alto
gether hidden from the light. mas
much as the face of the mirror presents
a surface that is perfectly smooth, ap-
parently the reason for this phenome-
non is difficult to find. Its cause, how
ever, is simple enough. The prelimi-
nary operation Of polishing the face
consists In scoring the cast disk with a
sharp tool in every direction.
The thicker portions, where the or
namentation In relief is on the back,
offer more resistance, and the result Is
a corresponding inequality Of the pol
ished surface. This inequality is not
sufficiently marked to be visible to the
naked eye, but it Is enough to turn the
rays of light, and thus the pattern Of
the engraving on the back is reproduc-
ed on the screen in the manner describ-
ed These so called magic mirrors are
90 highly valued that they sell from
ten to twenty times the price paid for
ordinary ones.

SHOULD BECOME A LAW WITHOUT DELAY

THE committee on judiciary OF
the senate have introduced bill
in the legislature legalizing Ger
tain acts of the town board Of
Washburn. The acts sought to
be legalized arethose appropriate
ing a sum of money, being in all
about eight thousand dollars,
which was used to get the North
ern Paci fic railroad into Wash
burn. The TRANSACTION was
known to the entire community
at the time, and there never has
been any criticism of the manner
in which the money was appro-
priated. However the demand
was so urgent and the time so
short in which to arrange for
the appropriation in order to
secure the road, that there was
no time for the usual formalities,
and town orders were issued for
the purpose. The legislature
has now been asked to legalize
this, and will no. doubt pass the
bill.

SANBORN AND THE NEW TOWNS.

Elk chairman Daniels received a
letter from Senator Sanb born to the
effect that he (Sanborn) would now
favor the bill creating the towns of
Barnes. Oulu and Orienta, that he
received a strong letter from the
new chairman of Iron River urging
its passage and that he also received
a copy of a resolution passed unani-
mously by the county board request
ing him to favor the new towns. It
is now thought that this will settle
the matter and that bill creating
the towns will 60 through without
further opposition. = Iron River
Pioneer.
SOME of this correspondence
between Mr.. Daniels and his
Legislative friends ought to be
published. tits now understood
that Senator Sanborn IS the man
who held up the new towns all
winter, and was finally brought
to time, not by the chairman of
the town of Iron River or the
Bayfield, county board, but by
Chairman Irvine, of the assembly
committee on town and county
organization, who got tired of
M ranborn's puttering with
these new town bills for Bayfield,
county. and gave the senator
straight "tip" that some of the
senator's pet measures would
meet with defeat in the assembly
unless the senator got good. It
ought not to have taken all winter
for Mr.. Sanborn to find out what
the county board wanted, when

Last stage Appearance.

Pathetic story Of sthe, Dramn lists
Last Stage Appearances.
There is pathetic account Of Mo
Heres last appearance which shows the
supreme courage which sickness could
not dissipate and which was a part
of him till DEATH His health had long
been failing and he had suffered for
years with a distressing cough, which
rapidly became worse. On the day of
the third presentation Of LA Malade
Imaginaire,' 1878, he was so ill that
his wife and friends entreated him not
to perform. But he was deaf to their
appeals. What can l do?' he said.
'There are forty workmen who have
only their daily pay to live upon. and
they will lose that if l do not act. 1
should reproach myself if l neglected
to give them their bread for single
day" Though more than usually in
disposed. he went through his part with
great difficulty. Once during the per-
Torrance the company could not but
see that he was convulsed, but he pass
ed it off with a forced laugh When
1t was over ne leIC the stage, saying
to his friends, 1.-The cold is killing me-"
He was wrapped up warmly, and his
chair man sent to convey him to his
home. No sooner was he in bed than
he was seized with violent fit of
coughing, which brought on a hemor-
rhage, and he died before his wife
could reach his side. His last words
were to assure his friends that the
hemorrhage was not alarming in any
way and urging them to take courage.

A SCHOOL STRIKE.

ONE of the most remarkable
occurrences in the history of the
public schools of Wisconsin, was
the "str ike" Of the students Of
the Blaine high school, of Su-
perior. Two hundred boys re-
belled against the policy of the
school, and in order to enforce
their demands marched upon the
office of the secretary of the
school board and presented a
petition demanding that Pro-
lessor James be not rehired for
another year. The school board
attempted to ignore the students,
whereupon practically the whole
school, including the girls, join
ed in further demonstrations.
and refused to attend the school.
The be ard suspended several of
the students who were leaders
in the strike, but this did not
seem to have any effect except to
make the students more deter
mined to carry their point. The
students issued public address
through the newspapers, and the
matter became so serious that
the parents and other patrons Of
the school took up the matter,
and mass meeting was called.
The school board finally had to
accede to an overwhelming public
demand, and drop James. The
latter has been particularly OBJ
noxious through his refusal to
carry out the policy of Superin-
tendent Jackson, and the school
board made the fatal mistake OF
.sustaini g James in preference
to Jackson, and in demanding
the resignation of thelatter, with.
outany apparent cause or motive,
other than to show their author
ity. jackson has maintained a
dignified position through it al,
simply saying that he would
not return to Superior for
another year. Between the
students and the citizens the
board were forced to adopt ia
more reasonable position, and
the matter has been settled by
dropping James. Next time
the school board will likely have
some respect for the wishes Of
the students and their parents,
in their work. and it is to be
hoped that only good results will
come from the Superior school
imbrioglio.

Announcing a Meal.

Among the curious byways OF social
history and household custom, says the
London Globe is that which is concern
ed with the mode Of announcing that
dinner or any other meal is or shortly
will be ready. The dinner bell is, of
course, the Oldest Of these modes. In
medieval times the monastery or con-
vent bell rang out on the quiet country
air many times in the course Of the
day and night, and one Of the many
summonses was that which drew them
to the refectory. And in later ages
there are frequent illusions in litera-
ture which show that the bell method
was still in constant favor notwith-
standing the customary use of other
modes of summons.
