powerful minority. including both

because the judge who presided over
the grand jury which indicted him was
a man who sought to ruin him because
ne had the judge impeached before the
state governor for conduct unbecominS

against him because he had strongly
taken that judge to task in the interest

the judges decisions on appeal. and
the press conducted a campaign of
Calumny against him. His activity i'm

MADE APOLLO COME DOWN
Household Help Was Sym pathetic"

The cook had struck The coach man had struck The nurse had struck The maid had struck. Everybody had struck, relates the Chicago Record Herald. With a sickening fear, the great man heard a confused murmur outside. It become louder, increasing to horrible din like unto that pro- duced by the Roman mob. He heard his name shouted above the awful roar, and, urged by his wife, he at last ventured to window.
 People" he cried why have you struck? What do you want? I have tried to deal fairly with you. What IS your grievance?"
 The coachman, who was acting as leader of the crowd, stepped forward, saying:
 We were ordered out by the head of the Teamsters' union."
 What has the Teamsters' union to do with me or the way my house is run?"
 You have statue of Apollo in your hall"
 Yes. It is one of my choicest pos sessions. It is a great work of art. am very proud of it.
 You must pull it down and have 1t thrown out of your house before we can return to work. We have our orders from the president of the Teamsters' union"
 This is preposterous. What has my statue of Apollo to do with you or your duties? And where does the Teamsters' union come in?"
 "It seems" the coachman replied, "that Apollo and Phoebus were the same party, and it's reported on good authority that Phoebus used to be a non-union driver. We've got our or ders. We can't work for man who sets up statue of Phoebus, the scab, i'll the hall"
 Realizing the force of the argu- ment, the great man yielded. It was the first time strikers had ever caught him unprepared to go on with a new set of hands.

DETHRONING OF ALCOHOL.
Being Brought About by the Mod ern Spirit of Scientific
 Research.

Another potent factor in the dethron- ing of alcohol has been the spirit of scientific research of recent years. says an Open Letter, in Century. In the great laboratories scientists have been carefully studying the effects of alco- holic liquors upon the various organs of the body, and, although they differ in their conclusions upon some points, the result is that those physicians who have most closely followed these inVesuiga- tionst have, almost or entirely, abjured alcoholics as a necessary part of their therapeutic outfit. These elaborate studies of alcohol have convinced many that the nourishing and strengthening properties formerly ascribed to alcohol ics existed only in the imagination, and belong to the errors of an age which had no facilities for accurate observation. The food qualities of the grains and fruits, it Is now believed by many au- thorities, are destroyed in the process of making alcoholic drinks. Even the stimulating qualities ascribed to alcohol are denied by many. who class it among the narcotics because of its depressant effect.

MAN WHO WASHES CLOCKS
One of a Few Engaged in This Sin gular Business in United
 States.

i've been washing the faces of the city clocks nigh on to ten years, l guess" said a pleasant Scotch-Irish- American, according to the New York Post, "and before that I did it in the old country. There aren't many face washers in this land and the few who know the business do we'll at it." He looked prosperous in his tweed suit and derby hat.
 '.Is your work anything like that of the steeple- -climber?" he was asked.
 "Bless you, no,' he replied, with twinkling eyes, much amused. "Only in one thing, and that is that mostly sailors take up with the trade. That's because we're good climbers, you know. I've washed the faces of city and church clocks that were 180 feet from the ground, and it took me two and three weeks to do it. I'm a practical clock repairer, too-have to be, you know-and do my work in huge wooden cradle made for the purpose. Some clocks get their faces dirty ln 6 year or so; others remain clean ten years, and so on. Old Ben, Vest minister's great clock, is expected to keep clean 15 years.
 "In the old days the trade was more dangerous. We used to work from scaffolds and got many dangerous falls. Now we have the cradles, and all the flxings and comforts, and if man keeps his head he can work as well as on the curb How is the pay? We'll. that's hard to figure, for we work by the job. We don't clean clock faces in winter, so we make enough in the summer to last the year around. Ot course, sometimes the clocks are taken out of their cases and repaired in the shops. Last year cleaned 2,OOO, and visited only two other cities, Chicago and Boston. This year I'll make more because the building operations nave grimed the clocks and given our trade sn increased demand"

Gases Penetrate Glass.

With liquid air performing feats and doing jobs for the scientific and in dustrial worlds, gaseous glass is per haps not amazing Glass, the renown- ed experimentalist, M. Berthelot, has rroved permeable to gases at nigh temperature. At temperatures below its melting point glass has been as- sumed impenetrable by oxygen, nitro gen and carbon monoxide and dioxide, but between $50 and 800 Centigrade glass tubing has shown itself permea- ble. This passage of gases through slightly softened glass is compared to the gaseous exchanges taking place at the ordinary temperatures through the walls of India rubber tubing and the importance is emphasized of thls prop erty of glass hitherto unsuspected in many chemical and physical investiga- tions at high temperature.

RUIN THE PICTURES.
PEOPLE WHO BUTT INv WREN
 CAMERA IS WORKING.
Scenes Carefully Arranged by Mov- ing Picture Artists Are Dis turbed and Rendered
 Useless.

"Our work is sometimes seriously interfered with by the buttinskis, and then again there are times when their slamming in helps us, said the man. ager of moving picture concern, who himself frames up the incidents and supervises the taking of the pictures. Tt is impossible to guard against the folks with the buttingin habit, for when they see anything unusual com ing off on the street or in any public place their natural busybody instinct takes hold of them, and they're bound to nudge up and take a hand in the proceedings
 Over in Trenton a few weeks ago l fixed up horsewhipping scene. The first part of the set was easy enough to get. It was a scene in a restaurant, in which a pretty girl, seated at a table little distance away from another table at which a frolic- some man with a homely wife is din- ing, falls to making goo goo eyes at the man.
 'The second scene, In which ar ranged to have the horsewhipping take place, took place outside the restau- rant. Wed got police permission to take the pictures, and I had two or three men stationed in front of the restaurant to keep the crowd back while the phony horsewhipping was in progress.
 When everything was all set and Tho naohiro yroc cpo ouov ct fho homely wife laying the lash across the face and shoulders of the fiirta- tious girl--the lash looked like rattan, but it was phony, and didn't hurt at all--our troubles began.
 First big vannigan of man slammed in and grabbed my homely woman by her lash-wielding arm, bawling that he didn't believe in see Ing no woman stinging another wom- an like that, and that queered one set of films The machine had to be stopped while the big buttinski was being informed that the thing was only a tableau, and that he didn't belong to the picture.
 'He took the gibes of the crowd sour ly, at that, and looked to be in so much of a mind to kick our gear to pieces that I had to get cop to walk him down the street.
 When we got all set again and the horsewhipping of the fiirtatious girl was once more going on a scrawny hatchet-faced woman, who had just Joined the outer circle of the crowd, and who wasn't up to what was com Ing off, rushed into the scene with shriek, grabbed my two acting women by the hair, and started in to rough house them both for their indecency In fighting on the street. as she yelled 1t them. The machine had to be stopped again.
 'The incident as I had framed it up didn't call for anything like that I had 1t arranged that after the whip ping had proceeded for space the guilty husband of the homely wife was to rush in and attempt to sep arate the two women, when his wife was to turn on him with the lash, caus- ing him to skiddoo down the street. The girl with the goo-goo eyes was to seize the whip from the other wom- ans hands and start in to get hunk for the cutting she'd received, the scene ending up that way"

When Game Was Cheap in Kansas.

Even as late as 1886 and 1887 veni- son was as cheap as beef in the fall, the choicest cuts selling for 121a cents a pound, while wild turkeys could be had for 75 cents each when tame tur- keys no larger sold for dollar Brant or wild geese were hard to get rid of, as no one liked their meat There was little fishing, not nearly so good as now, and the fish were nearly all perch or cat The fine herd of 200 head of deer in Uncle Joe Lewis deer park came from pair he caught in the early days and penned up in a pasture lot.-Anthony Republican.

DOnnelly and Hatfield Miastrels.

is always a pleasure to an- nounce the coming of the Don- nelly and Hatfield Magnificent Minstrels which appear at the opera house Saturday, Nov. IS. Theatre-goers of this city have learned to rely upon the promis- es of the managers of this organ ization and people have come to realize that the Donnelly &sHat- field Minstrels are just a little better than the Donnelly < Hat field posters and the show, in fact, is just a little greater lthan the words that attempt to DOT tray the merits of the organiza- tion. It could not be otherwise under the personal direction of Al. c. Field.
 This show always affords gen. uine entertainment. The melody of it's popular songs have pre- ceded it into this city, for it's songs have been Whistled throughout the country. These popular song hits are offered in the first part. It is said that the color schemegand the effects" of the latter surpass anything of the kind ever presented in min strelsy. And it is claimedfssits good humor and melody run over at the side.
 Many feature acts are on the program. One of the entertain ing acts is the ''Darktown Cir cus," a burlesque upon the most popular of Americas amuse- ments, the circus. While one counts five the audience.is intro duced to all the accessories and atmosphere that go to make a typical one ring circus. The en- tire company of forty people take part in this act. The scen- eryiis both gorgeous and realist- ic This act is relieved by the "Toledos," inpersonators of animals, reptiles and amphib- ious monsters. They give feats of contortion and acrobatic ability.
 ''Where the moonlight Falls" shows a miniature landscape with a full moon and ripping waters, where a company of dar- kies gather and do a series of dances. There is a monologue by Tommy Donnelly and a mu- sical "fete" by Crawford and Filming. The Tuscano Brothers, Roman axe manipulators, will make their first American ap- pearance with this company. These gentlemen balance. juggle and throw rude Roman axes. While Old Glory Waves" dis closes a series of spectacles rep resenting the varied career of America in arms.
 The managers of this popular organization have made the vocal music of their splendid enter tainment one of it's chief feat. ures. Some of the best black
 faced comedians in the business
 nave joined their forces. 15-1s
