THE ABUSED POLICEMAN.


1t isl not strange that the most widely
abused individual is the policeman. lie
is the active agent Of the municipality IN
enforcing its ordinances, the visible repre-
sentative of all obnoxious, petty and irrl-
tating city regulations. As those regu-
Iations touch the life Of the individual at
more points and more frequently than
any other enactments, national OrState,
it is only natural that he who enfOrces
them should be most disliked and cOnse-
quenty most frequently and wrongiully
criticised.
You seldom see the United States
marshal or State sheriff, or even the
constable, but you see the policeman at
every corner. The laws OF the nation
and the State, while far reaching and by
reason thereof profoundly affecting the
social life, are nevertheless not brought
to our attention so constantly a. the
police regulations of the municipality
| We know there is a statue defining and
Furnishing murder, and we are thankful
| that there il. We know there are courts
to try and officers to execute that
statute. vet we never think of commit
/ ting n muTutI, VI VI fiOidi INK hiig bAiFi
mandate of State or nation.
Hence our attention is seldom arrested
by those officials by whom they are Ell
forced. But the little things Of daily life
are reached by police regulations, and
sometimes even without intending DISC
bedience we violate or neglect them, and
the ever present policeman il present to
call our attention to that fact
WHY ANGER RISES.
No man likes to be told that he has
done wrong. even in little matters, and
so the one who is forever dinging in his
ears, "You have violated an ordinance,
will surely become odious. We may IN
our cooler moments regards those ordi
nances as wise and salutary. We may
not deliberately intend violation OI
neglect, but we are apt to think obedi
ence is OF comparatively trivial impor
tance.
Hence we are provoked when obedienc'
is demanded and our anger arises against
the official who compels obedience. 1t Il

most annoying. A fly does little injury

WELLMAN DELAYS,
Will Not Attempt His Voyage North
 wnrd This Year.

Hammerfest Norway Aug. 28.-The following dispatch was received here to- day from Walter Wellman, leader of the Wellnan-Chicago Record Herald polar expedition at spitzbergen:
 T have decided not to attempt a voy- age northward this year on account of defects in the mechanical equipment of my airship. According to the an nouncenent made last winter in antici- patton of such possibilities, the expeda- ton will continue next year My party is now completing a great balloon house and other features of the plant and making experiments with view to the campaign of 1907. This year will be one of preparation, and next will be one of action. Our confidence of success in 1907 has been increased by this summers work, and by our wealth CT observations. The motors work well and the balloon is in good condition, but the ear and mechanical equipment will be entirely rebuilt in Paris during the winter. The expedition will arr rive here next May and will find ev- erything ready. This year the whole summer has been consumed in building the plant. I shall return to Europe the middle of September, leaving a small party here to guard our headquarters.

HEAVY BLOW DEALT AT UNION LABOR BY COURT
DECISION FOR $e5, 1000 REIN DERED AGAINST TRADES
 LABOR COUNCIL.

Holds Illegal the Contract Exacted
 From the Racine, Wis, Boss Bakers
 The Council and the Individual Mem
 bers Are EntOfned From Using the
 Unfair List-BoycOtt an ActiOnabIe
 Conspiracy.
 Racine, Wis, Aug. 2S.-Union labor was to-day dealt heavy blow by the decision of Circuit Court Judge Chester A. Fowler, of Fond Du Lac, in the boy- colt suit for $25,oOO damages brought by Otto B. Schultz, a Racine baker, against the Trades Labor council, Ben- jamin Dressen and others. The decis- ion holds illegal the contract eXacted from the boss bakers by the union men in an effort to enforce the closed shop. The trades council and the individual members are enjoined from using the unfair list" The boycott is declared an actionable conspiracy to accomplish a criminal or unlawful purpose; Schultz is allowed to recover damages of $2,500 for the loss of profits from the time of the commencement of the boycotting acts I'D to the time of the trial, and $S,500 in damages for the amount of in- jury to his business and property in relation to it's selling value. The decis- ion, in part, is as follows:
 All boss bakers of the city signed this agreement except the plaintiff, who has steadfastly refused to do so. Upon the plaintiffs s refusing to sign, concert ed attack upon his business was begun by organized labor with the object and purpose of compelling him, against his will, to sign the contract, and has been maintained with more or less vigor up to the present time.
 The plaintiff has suffered a perma- nent and all but destructive injury to his business, which has been caused by the combined acts and the attitude of organized labor,
 An injury to one's business and trade is on the same footing as an in jury to his tangible property and the law furnishes a remedy for one as well as the other"
 The court declares that the contract l the union sought to force on the boss bakers was in itself an illegal contract. in that 1t would, by its terms, obligate the plaintiff to employ union labor only as distinguished from non-union labor; and 1t would obligate him to maintain "closed' as distinguished from an ''open" shop,

70 MARRY AN ACTh EsS
Lord Henry Lyndhurst Bruce to Wed
 Miss Ciiffor6.

London, Aug. 29.-In an interview published in the Daily Chronicle this morning the Hon. Herbert Lyndhurst Bruce. oldest son and heir of Lord Aberdare. authorized the announce ment of his engagement to Miss Ca mile Clifford the American actress, He said however, that they had a little squabble because he was going to bat q motor car business. Miss Clifford, who Is now on a holiday in Norway objected to his going into business and wanted him to await her return and advice, but he must live, and therefore he had practically decided to buy the business forthwith, If the balance sheet was satisfactory In reply to further questions Mir Bruce said a friend took him to see Miss Clifford some months ago. He was not snitten at first, but Miss Clifford, who had rejected all sorts of offers, finally accepted him three months ago. "As far as I know at present" added MT. Bruce, i've shall be married,
 MT. Bruce said he friends were fran tic and his father, who was simply fur ious, had severely upbraided him. He had not been home any they had hard ly spoken since, Still" he said, T think 1t will be all right. He told me if I insist on marrying Miss Clifford and everything goes well he will re- ceive us Anyone, however, who asks him about the engagement will probab- ly get a furious denial. It wont alter the case, though"
 In conclusion, Mr. Bruce said he be- lieved Miss Clifford would not leave the stage, as her heart and soul were in her profession.
 Miss Clifford was in the New York cast of eThe Prince of Pilsen" and went to London with that company in 1904. Later she appeared In the Lon- don production of *'The Catch of the Season" and "The Belle of Mayfair"
 The Sketch announces that the Hon, Mir Bruce and Miss Clifford will be married early in October,

St. Petersburg, Aug. 2S-In view of suggestions in the foreign press re- garding the coming policy of the gov ernment, founded on rumors current here. it is senni-otI1cially stated that it would be a great mistake to suppose that revolutionary terrorism will be met by terrorism on the part of the governunent, which always will be able tion and enemies determined to nullify the law, whether by propaganda or by passive resistance.

The govern ment has sufficient means the srate- ment continues, of suppressing Illegal acts, but suppression is not the only aim, the first problems being the prep aration of bills to be presented in par Hament for the setetlement of pressing questions in a legal manner. The state nent concludes as follows:
