WHY PRICES FELL.
Government Crop Report Influenced
Stocks on Wall Street.

New York. June 1e.@The weeks
opening show OF strength in the stock
market was largely due to the influence
in Wall street Of the hopeful promise
for the grand crops contained in the
monthly report Advant-
age was taken Of this to realize on
speculative holdings and It was found
that the new speculative demands for
stocks was insufficient to take care of
the holdings accumulated in the pro-
fessional speculation which had pre-
ceded. The growing discourage of
the professional holders was seen in
the disposition to close out holdings on
a declining price. Some large unload
ing by stock market pools was given
the credit for causing the sharp breaks
in prices which occurred. Money has
grown firmer again at effect on senti-
rnent owing to the large capital re-
quirsments over hanging the markets.

MAN AND MONEY.
Rev. Judson Titsworth's Address to
Art School Graduates.

Chicago, June 16.-as'.If the posses
sion of the most money is to denote the
best man in America=and it looks
very much as if it were-then dis
regard OF ethical distinction is likely
to become characteristic of the popu-
lar mind, for the suspicion is rapidly
gathering in the average man that all
wealth is tainted" said the Rev. judi
son Ellsworth of Milwaukee in his adj
dress before the graduates of the Chi
cago Art institute.
1.-The greatest question which So
ciety has to handle today lies in great
accommodations OF wealth. Wealth has
become a new royalty. The throned
potentate may nowadays have less
power than the multimillionaire whose
father may have been a laboring man.
The aristocracy of wealth is doing
away with social distinction.
THE line of success in life, is not
the line which divides the successful
from the unsuccessful man. If we de-
fine success as wealth. The distinc-
ton is between making a living and
living life worth living"
Director French's annual statement
called attention to the change in the
proportion of the sexes in the school
during the last fifteen years. Fifteen
years ago there were seven times as
many women as men studying in
drawing and painting; during the last
year there have been twice as many
The total enrolment for the last year
was 245O.

that DR.. Hyde addressed during his
visit of seven months. Before sailing
Df. Hyde said:
Il have found nothing except a gen.
erOus welcome in America. I Travelled
$4,000 miles, visited over so cities and
explained the cause of the Irish lang
uage to perhaps sc, 900 persons. have
not heard a single word that was
against our cause. I understand now, as
never before, how great is this country
and how numerous, strong and power
full are the Irish who are in 1t.
Il have expressed my thanks to the
many friends whom I have met, but
there are many others to whom have
had no time to send letters. I shall
ask them to accept this excuse from
me.
There is a great likeness between the
people of Ireland and this country.
would sooner have the good will of this
country than anything else in the strug-
gle to bring back the language, music,
and customs Of Ireland"
A number Of DR.. Hydes friends here
raised 81 500 to buy him a motor car,
for his work in Ireland. This fund was
Thursday, but he declared he could
not depart from the rule of his life
not to accept any personal reward for
his services to the Gaelic League and
in behalf of Irish unity. The contribu-
tions were returned to the contributors.

LOGICAL ELIMINATION.
New Plan Recommended for Dealing
With Criminals.

Chicago, June Logical elini-
nation of the criminal. not capital
punishment but simply putting out of
the way a menace to society, was the
plan advocated by DR.. G. Frank Lyd-
ston of the college of physicians and
surgeons last night at the West Side
Auditorium. To this he added that
the child primarily has no moral sense,
is a little animal, almost little
monkey, and can if let alone use its
toes as fingers as well as any Of its
Slm1an ancestors. He asserted the
child for some time has a dog con
science it realizes there is a spank
ing at one side and candy at the other,
and by that compass it guides its con-
duct. Later, there is a golden crown
and harp on one side and perdition on
the other and the child is taught to
keep the same sort of dog conscience;
in some cases, any one almost, if he or
she is not a raving lunatic, can get
marriage license. That it is the first
cause said DIR. Lydston. "a child of
parents who have nothing to give it
but sickness or worse, some disease,
some mental faint or physical deform-
ity which warps the mind, can not
compete in the world. He cannot IN
derstand it. Suppose his parents die
There is that child left alone to make
his way. He must live. Honestly if
he can. If he can understand what it
means, but he must live. Society does
not do anything for him until he steals
and then it locks him up, and if there
is anything lacking in his criminal
education the penal institution per-
fects it.
I'VE have had capital punishment
for years, but still crime is slowly on
the increase and so is insanity If a
man is a hopeless criminal degenerate
don't punish him in hate; make him
the subject of logical elimination It
is better for him and vastly more so
for the community

HEALER SHOT IN SHOULDER
John hatlein Found Hin on Roof at
 One O'clock 1hIs Moaning.

Thomas Thaler Is in the hospital
 with his left shoulder peppered with shot. and John Hartlein Is at liberty on his own recognizance to appear
 in the city court tomorrow morning
 to answer to the charges of breach of the peace and assault on Thaler. Hartlein lives on the Wolcott road
 Tn a place known as the Pine Trees" With him are his wife and four children, the eldest of whom Is Rose, aged 15. Rose attends the dis trict school. This morning about 1 o'clock the household was startled Dy sounds of hammering on the roof of the house. The children got out of bed and ran down stairs. Hartlein got his shotgun and. half dressed, ran outside and seeing man on the roof called to him to come down.
 In telling his story to Prosecutor Meigs after court this morning Hart lein said that when he called to the man to come down, the man shouted out that he would and not to shoot. Hartlein said he would not shoot if the man came down directly. The man did come down as fast as he could and he immediately grappled with Hartlein who was standing near the veranda with the shotgun, load ed, in his arms. There was a scuff1e, the stranger evidently trying to get the gun away from Hartlein. He was no match physically for Hartlein and evidently when he came to this con- clusion he decided the best thing he could do would be to make of. So he ran toward the trees, from which the place derives it's name, and had gone only half dozen paces when Hartlein put the gun to his shoulder | and fired. Hartlein said he did not know that he had shot the man until a few moments after he had fired when he heard sounds of pain com ing from the shadow of the trees He went over and saw the man on the ground, moaning in pain.
 It seems that Hartlein became scared then, for he ran as fast as he could to the police station. a dis tance of over two miles, and told Ser geant Blakely his story. Together they went back to the scene of the shoot 1 ing found the man still under the trees and had him taken to the hos pital. Back of his left shoulder was 1 peppered with shot. The wound is more painful than serious and the fact that Hartlein was released on his own bail shows how lightly the | authorities take 1t.
 The injured man turned out to be character we'll known to the police. He was Thomas Thaler. His story is that he was calling upon Hartlein's eldest daughter Rose. but Hartlein says that must be false, for the girl had no companions such as Thaler.
 Last winter, Hartlein says. that two men broke into his cellar and were upstairs in the house before he knew anything about their entering.
 But for the alarm raised by the chill dren the men would have ransacked the place If they did nothing more serious.
 Thaler is much improved at the hospital this afternoon and although there is much shot in his back, his condition is not considered serious.

IF KELlOCC GOES
RsDublsals VIII Be All at Sea For
 | LeadoI.

Local republicans are very much worried over the announcement that John P. Kellogg has made up his mind to retire from the chairman ship of the republican town commit tee, because the wise heads know that the party will find 1t extremely difncult to get man to fill the place who knows the ropes as well as MT Kellogg does. On the other hand, democratic leaders are very much pleased over 1t and hope that MT Kellogg will not allow himself to be talked into remaining at the helm for another term. In addition to be- ing hard worker in his own camp Nr Kellogg Is by no means a strang- CT to some of the nabobs of the other side of the house, so that while the two parties were in training for the combat as well as when they entered the field and went at it hammer and tongs, MT Kellogg had democrats high In the councils of their own party working covertly to push the republican chariot ahead. and what was even worse, he pulled quite a stroke with representatives of tue democratic side of the house, and could be depended upon to win a couple of them to his way of think ing whenever they were needed. AL ways courteous and invariably iE,- partial in deciding matters referred to him by the boards, he held the good will of both sides of the house so that when it came to seeking fa- vors he wielded mighty influence with weak-kneed democrats and 1t goes without saying that he made good use of this influence for his party, not only on election day, but year in and year out
 Who will replace Mir Kellogg on the town committee? Nobody appears to know. It is said that John Blair does not want it, Frank Field wouldn't take 1t, and J. B. Doherty can't get it. A republican who re- grets to sec Mir Kellogg weary of the work of drilling the boys for cleo tion contests said yesterday that Do- herty is the best man available to step into Kellogg's shoes, but he knew 1t would be useless to make a light to get him there. He didn't know, he said. whether Doherty wants the berth or not, but he had heard that there Is feeling against him and that he couldn't be elected.

MAY LIVE TOGETHER AGAIN Disposition of Children May Be Means
 of Uniting Parents.

There is possibility that orson Light and his wife Kate will make up and live together again. To-day in the superior court Judge Reed ordered judgment recorded as told in the Democrat yesterday that he had re- versed the order of the probate court. thus granting Mrs Lights appeal and making her joint guardian of her two children. Judge Peasley. representing Mir Light and Attorney Kennedy counsel for Mrs Light held a consul tation after leaving tho court and came to the conclusion that for the benefit of all concerned it would be better to give Ada. the little girl to her mother entirely and let the father take Orson who is about year younger than his sister. making him about four years old. This arrange ment. however. will not be a bar to either parent. visiting either child. if he or she feels so inclined. and as both parents have the same affection for both the children It follows that vis- its from either will result. This will he the means therefore. of bringing the long estranged father and mother into more ar less association. despite the hard things they said of each oth- CT in the litigation which they have just been through.
 Mutual friends predict that the children Will be the eventual means of bringing abou a reconciliation be- tween the parents.
