eAeTING OUT THE. EVIL oN9.
PGr.r PaiG Much Money for Peace
that Didn't Como.

V0msr Pale Much Money for Peace
that Didn't Como.
From town near Erfurt in Ger.
many comes this tale Of wise
woman" an ignorant farmer and an
imitation Beelsebub. The wise wom.
an" lives at Langensalza and claims to
have the power to cast out evil spir.
its. farmer and his family who had
for some time been troubled by evil
dreams and harassed by various minor
misfortunes came to the conclusion
that Satan had his hand in their af'
fairs, so they consulted the wise
woman" She prescribed that the
family should go to certain spot
among the neighboring Mills, where
they were to bury new earthen pot
containing several gold coins. The
devil, attracted by the money. would
empty the pot and leave the family in
peace.
A novelty was introduced by the
wise woman" into the program. This
was the letting of of fireworks from
the spot where fthe money was buried
as soon as the duped family had re-
tired on their way home. These sa.
tanic pyrotechnics were managed by
an accomplice. but the wise woman
explained to the farmer that they were
caused by Beelzebub's departure with
mammon.
But these offerings to the evil one
brought no relief although the sums
in the earthen pot went on increasing.
Light at last dawned on the farmer.
He put the matter in the hands OF the
police. His payments to procure re-
lease from Satan's attentions amount.
ID to 10000 marks ($16.800).

WHEAT ON FREE LIST
Nothing Heard of MeKiuIey's Hobby at the Elton
 Dinner the Other Might.

Thomas Kelly. the baker, who was a warm personal friend of the late President William Mckinley, regrets that notwithstanding all the good things said of Mckinley at the annual banquet of the society named in his honor, held at The Elton last week. not q word was said about the state ment of the great statesman with ref erence to his contention that wheat be put on the free list so that the la boring people of the country might be in position to get bread at the low est possible figure.
 Mir Kelly thinks this may have been an oversight but perhaps if one could get at the facts it might have been the result of considerable deliberation on the part of the infringement. In any case the orators were silent on this point, not even our own friend and townsman. the Hon George l.. I.illey limiting at such a thing. so that the willingness of Connecticut repub. licans to parade whatever there was in the p1blic record of Mckinley, and there was much that tends to help keep the 2. O. D. at the helm. is equall- ed only by their readiness to put their. foot upon anything he said or did which if put into practical operation might take q few cents out of the big fellows pockets and put the dust within reach of the plain people.

JOBBERS GO OUT
Book and Job Printers at Boston Insist on the Eli ht Hour
 Day.

Boston. Feb. IA strike was de- clared to-day by the book and job printers against all firms that have not acceded to the demands of the Typographical union for an eight hour day. Just how many men have quit work or how many shops are affected by the strike order could not be learned early this afternoon, but it is estimated that at least 200 jour neymen have quit work.
 Many of the larger printing houses. including tile firm of Wright X Pot ter. who are state printers, and the Municipal printing plant. have already granted the eight hour day.
 Although the strike was not declar- ed until this morning the employees of the Norwood Press, book printers. lt Norwood. were locked out late yester- day afternoon. Both the employers. most of whom are members of the Typothetae. and the strikers. express confidence in the outcome. The strik- CTS have an unusually strong tinar- cial backing, and arrangements have Been made for strike benefits of S14 week for married men and $10 . week for single men until the trouble shall have been adjusted satisfactor- fly.
 It is understood that about 15 printing firms have entered into an agreement to oppose the demands of the printers.
 Headquarters for the strikers were established to-day at Al Eliot street, where the men were instructed to re- port twice daily during the strike.

BOARD OF SAFETY
Superior Court Mus; Now Decide on
 the M'Niff Case.

Only routine business was transacted by the board of safety at the meeting held yesterday afternoon at o'clock. It was a short meeting, no doubt OF that account. Regarding the propOsl- tion to reopen the case of ex-Policcmar Miles McNiff, City Attorney Kellogg, who was asked for an opinion cn .ne matter, wrote the board to the effect that the charter was opposed to him Several passages in the charter bear ing OH the matter were quoted by the attorney, after which it was voted to give Mir McNiff leave to withdraw hir application. The superior court has yet to be heard from on it.
 Commissioner Minor, reporting for the committee On rules, said that f would be advisable for the board to ask the board of aldermen to have tic city charter amended so that the words superintendent of police' in stead of ''chief of police" would ap- pear therein, there being now, no sucl' office as the latter.
 Regarding the tests made on local Standard oil, Chief Snagg reported that two samples both showed a flash point of 99 and fire point of 122. He ex. amined another product known as LenoX oil and this showed flash point of 114 and of fire 127. The re, port was filed.
 As Chief Snagg had not determined, what kind of an oil testing apparatus was needed. the matter was left witll the committee appointed last week tQ act with him.
 The committee on wheels made a report and the committee oil repairs stated that Chief Snagg will file q long report later. With him the committed inspected all of the fire houses. There were few bills that were held up fos an explanation by Chief Snagg, but when that was given they were or dered paid out of last years appropri ations.
 The board then adjourned to neX; Wednesday afternoon.

WANT TO GO TO JAIL.

Chicago, Feb. Hive hundred members of Typographical union, No 16, voted unanimously yesterday to go to jail. As they are on strike they estimated they might save the $1.OO0 fine assessed against the union by Judge Holdom if they were permitted to work out the amount in prison.
 After the resolution was adopted q committee was sent to Attorney w. H. Barnum to learn if there was any hope for the strikers breaking into jail and in that manner satisfying jus tice. They were disappointed when their attorney told them that if the fine was upheld by the higher courts it would have to be paid, and that there was no prospect of the debt be- ing linuidated by the strikers going to jail.
