The Battle of Redonda.

Not far from st. Thomas, a matter of
perhaps a hundred miles, was fought
the most wonderful naval battle in all
history. The Dutch admiral detected
the enemy in the early morning, when
the sea was covered with a thick mist,
and his guns opened fire at once with
out warning The fire was returned
with interest, the ocean fairly CULVER
ing with spasms caused by the shock
of frequent discharges. Somehow or
other the enemy's shots, which sound
ed like a bombardment, seemed to fall
short or go wide of the mark, for not
even a splash Of ball was heard, and
the Dutch ships remained unscathed.
On the other hand, the Dutch could not
see the terrible execution their guns
were doing until nearly the middle Of
the forenoon, when the fog lifted, re-
vealing to their astonished gaze not the
vessels of the enemy, but a great rock
standing out of the sea. They had been
firing at it for five hours, and the sound
of the return shots they heard was the
echo from the solid wall of granite.
They named the place Redonda, which
means sent, rolled or driven back, and
RedOnda it is to this day.

One of the Family.

James Seymour, the artist, was born
in London in 1902. He displayed a
fondness for drawing and painting in
boyhood and subsequently gained ce-
lebrity by his skill in designing horses.
Once the proud Duke of Somerset en-
ployed Seymour to paint a room at his
seat in Sussex, with the portraits of his
running horses. Having admitted the
artist to his table, he one day drank to
him. saying:
Cousin Seymour, your health"
The painter replied, MY lord, I real
ly believe that have the honor Of be-
ing of your grace's family"
This hurt the pride of the duke so
much that he rose from the table and
ordered his steward to pay Seymour
and dismiss him Finding, however,
that no one in England could complete
the pictures begun. he condescended to
send for his cousin. The painter re-
sponded to the message in these words:
MY lord, will now prove that am
of your grace's family. for I won't
come"

EIGHT-HOUR DAY COSTS
LABOR UNIONS 100000
Strike Was Started Fifteen Month Ago
and the Vast sum Necessary to Carry
On Fight Was Raised by Assessment.

That the union printers of the eoun-
try have spent nearly 100000 in their
fight for an eight-hour day became
known yesterday. At the same time it
was announced that a meeting in cele-
bration Of victories which are regarded
as foreshadowing the beginning of the
end" in the long struggle win be held
next Sunday afternoon. 1t is believed
by the printers that the recent sue
eesses in Washington and Philadelphia,
where employers of nonunion printers
have changed their nine-hour schedules
to the eight-hour plan, give assurance
of complete triumph for the movement
at no distant day.
The strike started fifteen months ago.
The vast sum necessary to carry on
the struggle was raised by assessment.
Each working member of the union
was required to contribute 10 per cent
of his wages to the fund. More than
100000 was contributed by the Chi
cago printers alone

CHANCE TO SPECULATE.

Chicago 100 years from now will be
the metropolis of population of over
40O,00O.000 people," was the prediction
of Professor John P. Goode Of the de-
partment Of geology of the University
of Chicago in an address in the philos-
ophy divisional meeting yesterday. He
expressed the belief that this immense
population would be living in the fer
tile Mississippi and Ohio Valleys. Chi
cago, he said, on account of it's wonder
full natural advantages, was destined
to be the principal city in the territory
they inhabited.
over a hundred million years ago."
said Professor Goode, nature was at
work preparing the sight or location
for the great city which Chicago now
is, and for the greater city she is to
be in the future"

Informal Discussion Tndulg-
ed in, However, Not
Lacking in Interest.
TO ASK MORE FAVORS
Street Car Company Has Served
Notices That It Will Seek
New Franchises.

The regular session of the city
council was held last night and only
four aldermen were present. The con-
troller's report was read and referred
to the finance committee after which
a motion was made to adjourn. Be
fore the council members departed,
however, several questions pertaining
to the city's welfare were taken up
Informally and discussed.
remark by the mayor that the
South Chicago Street Car company had
given advance notice that it would
soon ask for another franchise to ex-
tend its right of way on State street
from Howard avenue to Columbia and
thence southwark to the steel plant
was received with a chill. A farther
remark to the effect that the same com
pany is seeking a franchise on Harri-
son boulevard in Douglas park in order
to construct a carline across the state
line to Hegewisch produced a goose
skin. why it's the only nice boule-
ward that we have" said Harry East
wood.
The only object that the alderman
could see in the company's request was
se and thus cut out any possible com
pettor. The subject will, however, be
formally dealt with when it comes be
fore the board of public works and
later again before the council
A special meeting was set for next
Tuesday night when the franchise
granting the Standard Steel Car com
pany a four-track right of way, just
from the Erie railroad over Columbia
and Forsyth avenues, thus forming
belt line will be dealt with. Two of
the four tracks are to be used for
switching purposes.
The subject of furnishing the water
supply for the new factory also came
up. Mr.. Schroeder said that he had
been told by one of the officials of the
company that approximately three mil
lion gallons of water would be used
daily. This according to the agree
ment with the company and the board
of public works will amount to $50
day in revenue for the city as the
company agreed to pay three cents a
thousand gallons.
Before leaving the council chamber
Mayor Becker advised that active
work be now begun for the two new
fire stations as the city will be in
urgent need of them when they are
finished
In speaking of the injunction which
the Michigan Central railroad has
taken out against the city Mayor
Becker said: Il told the company's
| representative that the sooner the
question is taken into court the better
it would suit me. We shall then know
whether it is our privilege to grant
franchise to the railroad companies
who want to lay additional tracks over
streets that have been plated after
the first track has been layed, or
whether the company has the right
of way for additional tracks on the
grounds that it was there first"

side a target made of boards, while
the gentleman stands a distance of 20
feet and throws knives in such a man
