VANDAL HANDS
SHOCK BOSTON
EVEN SACRED GOLDFISH STIRRED
eY ATTACK ON ARTILLERY
COMPANY.

Boston. Feb. Social Boston is
shocked and Mortified Vandal hands
have been raised against one of the
most revered institutions in Massa-
chusetts. the Ancient and Honorable
Artillery company. Representatives
of the labor unions initiated an ag-
gressive campaign before the legis-
lature seeking to drag down the arts
tccrats who compose the artillery COM
pany to the common level of jury
duty. Even the sacred Goldfish are
agitated.
Ridicule. of all things. was used
against the eminent and valiant "sOl-
diers." E. Gerry Brown. of Brock
ton. denied the claim of the Ancients
that they have had an uninterrupted
existence since 1898. He contended
that the historian of the company had
CLOSED over the period from 1774 to
1896. in which. Mr.. Brown claims,
the company was not in existence.
All this dissertation was the work
of the state branch of the American
Federation of Labor. which is opposed
to the law eXempting the Ancients
from jury duty in Massachusetts, and
wants it repealed. on the ground that
the members of the organization are
not entitled to privileges which Ia
boring men do not enjoy. Represen-
tatives of the Ancients and the I'm
ions appeared before the judiciary
committee.
Frank X. Foster, of Boston, a lead
ing union advocate. opened the hear
ing for the petitioners, and read a res
olution passed by the state branch
of the federation in which it was rep
! resented that the Ancients enjoy ex.
emption from jury duty through rep.
reservations not founded on fact. He
held that their exemption allows an
excuse for men who can afford to dc
jury duty to escape it, while the ad
dltiOnal burden is placed upon those
who can neither afford to do jury
duty nor to join the Ancients.
William A. Morse, commander OF
the Ancients. responded valiantly in
defense and said the resolution mis-
stated the case. The company. he
said. is composed of about 600 mem
bers, about 400 of whom reside in this
commonwealth. OF these many are
more than IS years old and large
number of others are doctors and law
yers. and exempt for that reason
Therefore. the number who would be
affected by the withdrawal of the
exemption would be very small.
The committee, properly impressed
with the gravity of the issue placed
before it, decided not to pass judg
ment hastily and announced that its
report would be turned into the leg
islature when proper consideration hat
been given.

Chicago, Feb. 8.-FrOm early morn
ing until long after noon a dense
cloud of smoke and clouds hung over
this city, making it one of the darkest
days ever experienced here. All OF
the stores were lighted as though 1t
was night, and the street cars ran
with lamps lighted and head lights blaz-
ing as in the night time. At times
it was not possible to see more than
one square in any direction.
Much difficulty was experienced in
the streets, the darkness causing
many collisions. On the board OF
trade for the first time in many years,
there was no announcement of the
price of cash wheat at the closing
of the session, dealers pronounced 1t
impossible to determine the character
of samples because Of darkness. The
weather bureau declared the dark
ness to be purely local.
