 Severe but Effective Treatment sf An
 Over Particular Diner.
 New York.-A silent but most ef- fective rebnke was administered to a c&llow young dandy in a Broadway restaurant recently. Chance had placed him and red nosed old gentleman on opposite sides Of the same table. The young man seemed dissatisfied with his nefghbor, but the remaining tables were nIled. This apparent aissatis- faction was not lost on the other. who seemed to be something of martinet. He glared and paffed. His feroclous aspect said as plain as words: You d-- little pink rihboned prize taker, Ia ike to eat your heart" The climax was reached when the scowIiRg old fellow helped himself 10 the butter with his individual knife, His tones trembling with indignation. the sensitive Beau BrummeI called te the waiter:
 Here, remove the butter; this fel- low has cut it with his knife.s The butter was. whisked away. and the old fellow strafahtened with a jerk. He gasped. then spluttered and pufed, speeches. but inwardlv rakine His sface turned purple. When the fresh plate was placed on the table he seized it with both hands and dashed if in the face of his officious visa wis.
 Waiter he thundered, remove the dude; he's been wallerin' in the butter !. The fiery old martinet chokod and swore, then choked again. He stalked out, while few kind hearted, snfl- fng spectators led the dunbfounaed youth to the pump.

 to Pay Up.
 Chicago, July 26.-The three corner. ca controversy between the Board of Review. the executors of the Marshall Field estate and the city corporation counsePs office came to an end ves- terday. when the taxing body decided that the Field estate should be taxed on total of $ls0, 900, GOO this wear in = cludtng back taxes
 The decision means that the execu- tors of the estate will be compelled to pay the county $2, 800, 900 which is more than the total amount of ner- sonal property on which Mir Field was taxed during the last year of his life. The greater part of this great sunn to be paid Is to come from the collec- ton of back taxes on which Mir. Field Is held by the board to have escaped payment. The members of the board estimated the back taxes without any authentic figure to guide them
 President of the Board F, W. TJp- ham held that the board should fix the amount of property upon which taxes had not been collected since 1898, at an average of $I5,0O0, 900 a year, amounting to $105.00 ,000, seven years. To this sum will be added ten per cent. interest fixed by the law to be collected in all cases of this kind. This interest amounts to $4s2.So0. The personal property upon which the estate shall be compelled to pay taxes for thts> year was placed at $25, ,0O0. .0e0,

4 FREE LOVE PROFESSION.

The down grade journey of the Uni versity of Chicago has but few more steps before it reaches bottom. It has turned out more cranks and had more of them in its roll of teachers and professors than any other institu- ton of learning with which we are ac- ouainted. It was intended to be a hiEh-class religious institution, or at least under religious management, but 1t has certainly wandered far a-field. It has not been long since one Profess sor Triggs began to promulgate certain teachings which were not at all In harmony with the original design and interest of the university. but his teachings were harmless compared to those just made public by Professor ZuebIin. Making the general proposi- results of the marriage relation, he comes out boldly in advocacy of what he calls probationary marriages" between man and woman as a cure and prevention of the divorce evil.
 probationary marriage. be it un- derstood. is a marriage entered into by a man and a woman without the sanction or assistance of the law or the church. In other words, a man and woman agree to live together as long as the arrangement Is mutually satisfactory and then they may ter mfnate it. And it is this degradation of woman. this living together in open fornlcation or adultery, this open de- fiance of the laws of God and man, that is put forward by an university professor as the proper remedy for the evils of divorce. We agree with this comment from The Kansas City Jour nal:
 The question in the minds of a great many people is this: How long will decent and self-respecting citizens of Chicago permit this moral ulcer to exude it's rocking contamination upon the youth of that city? Under the pretext that the so-cailed professors" should not be hampered in the exer- else of free thought the university au-

thorfties have built up gigantic pois- on factory against social order and common morality. One of the pro fessors" preached free love and prae- ticed it without being ignominiously kicked of the campus, which was the least that he deserved. And the Unt- versity. of Chicago is the instituti2n founded and endowed by John D. Rockefeller for the betterment of nian- kind and the propagation of Christi- anityt
 It really makes little difference what course may be pursued by the faculty, or by others concerned in the manage ment of the university. They may discharge this advocate and teacher of free love but they cannot thus wipe off the stigma which will attach to the university because of such teach ings from one of its professors. Good people will not send their children to an institution where the marriage re- iation is treated with contempt.

BIGGEST OYSTER IN WORLD.

 one Hundred Pounds and Was

Minneapolis Had H~-Wefgne0 Ahm0St
 one Hundred Pounds and Was
 a Monster.
 Minneapolis. Minn.--Lying upon the floor of a little shop at 34 Fifth street is the great twin throne of the king of oysters
 His majesty in his original state ruled over the vast beds in the tidal waters of the Columbia river. where he was by right of weight and of majesty, the absolute king of bivalves. In all the world oysters have been known, enjoyed by the Romans. down to the little cove oyster that grew in modest way around Fair Haven. but none has ever been known that can compare with this great oyster of the Columbia.
 How the upper and neither shells chanced to come to Minneapolis Is simple. as story. A friend of Harriet B. Whitted. on leaving for the coast, promised to send her something in the way of novelty Upon his arrival there he chanced to go fishing. and while after large fish in the tidal river, hooked on to aN mammoth oyster. It was a bivalve that would easily weigh two pounds and 1t contained fne pearl Nothing would do but for him to investigate the same bed. and. while predding with an oyster rake the next day the king of all the oysters was brought from his home
 The bivafve was shipped to Min- neapolis. and when weighed 1t tipped the scales at ninety-eight and one-half pounds. The mammoth was roasted in an oven that, though large, would just hold it, and the meat had to be cut with a carving knife. Oyster steaks" was the bill of fare.
 The two huge shells are each about as much as one can lift from the floor, and a toy boat floats about in water in one of them. So if can safely be said that Minneapolis has. owned by one or us citizens. the shell Of the king of all. the oyster family.

WE sunrLY DO.


 Some of the arguments--or alleged arsuments--used by the standpat fra ternity tend to give one the impression that much discussion and reflection on the subject has rendered them addle- headed. For example. The Des Moines tIowa) Capital seriously isquires: What reason can be given for dis turbing the tariff? Do men want low CT prices for the things they buyT' That question might be looked on as sarcastic but that 1t is asked in all seriousness. and It leads The Omaha World Herald to say in reply:
 We'll we rather think they do! If that be treason make the most of it!
 And that's why there is such a stir for tarif reduction. Men want cheaper prices for the clothing they have to and household goods and implements and farm machinery and all the other necessities of life, now controlled by trusts. The trusts are fostered and protected by the tariff. and under it's wing they charge the American con sumer in many cases 50 per cent and in some instances 100 per cent more for the same article than they charge
 
 Do we want those prices reduced !?
 We do. Colonel Young. we dol
 We are patriotic and patient hard working and long suffering, generous and kind, but in the name of every thing that's reasonable we do object to being robbed, under cover of law. Of hundreds and millions of dollars every year that in the shape of un- earned and undeservea profits so to swell the fortunes of the unspeakab1e millionaires of Pittsburg and other favored centers of iniquity.
 One trouble with this whole aggre- gation of tariff advocates is that they look at but one side of the question. Their desire and contention is that all American manufacturers and pro- duceFs shall receive good prices for all they have to sell. They are oblivious of the fact, or feel an indifference to it, that if the sellers obtain high prices the buyers. who are so largely in the majority. must pay those higher prices or they cannot get the goods. They think it treason to American interests to want to get goods at reduced prices. and seem to think that the fact that high tariff means higher prices, as 1t certainly does to all who are on the buying side of the line. is sufficient. With The World-Hera1d we certainly do want reduced prices for many things we buy, and if such reduction should bring a squeal from the trusts it would be good music.
