THE NEW YORK WAVE OF
CRIME.

Undoubtedly the wave of
crime and mob madness which
has recently swept the east side
of the cityof New York, is due
to- the hot humid atmosphere
prevailing among the tenements
of the poorer classes of foreign
ers who infest that neighbor-
hood. The sun is a pittiless op-
pressor Of the unfortunate peo-
pie who reside in such congest-
ed urban regions as New York's
east side. It is much easier for
us who live in a region where the
thermometer often registers
much higher to live peacably
here where there is an abund-
ance Of Gods fresh ir than it is
for the poor shut who swell
ter day and night in the midst
of New. York's humid s1ums.
i 1t has been proven by the last
analysis that this reign Of crime
is due to the atmospheric con-
ditions prevailing. The causa-
lion of crime is a subtle and
elusive problem, but it, has
been proven that the exces-
sive and humid heat is the chief
cause Of that species of the de-
hro1li1g OF reason and moral
poise that results in crime. III

THE PASSING OF MANS
FIELD. -}r

Americas foremost legitimate
actor, Richard Mansfield, is now
a physical wreck in a little cot
tage in the heart of the North
woods, near Saranac Lake, N. Y.
His mind has failed, and be-
tween the fierce coughing spells
which almost continuously wrack
his emaciated frame, he declaims
over and over again lines from
the roles he has made famous on
the stage. It is indeed doubtful
If he will ever recover his health
sufficiently to act again and it is
supposed by many that the ia.
nous actor is near the jaws of
death. .E.:. f. =*s5 5=..s :s
Mansfield has undoubtedly
been a luminary of the American
stage. Though a man of many
peculiarities and habits, he has.
created roles which, like 10 JEFF
Persons famous rip Van Win.
kle,n will remain forever green
ia the memories Of the hundreds
Of thousands who have seen his
rendition Of them on the stage.

OUR PROHIBITION LAWS,

A splendid commentary on our
state prohibition laws appears in
the last issue of the Lidgerwood
Broadaxe, wherein a notice ap-
pears from the wife of a person
whom one would be led to believe
was an habitual drunkard to the
effect that blind piggers were
warned not to sell her husband
any Intoxicating liquor under
pain of prosecution. A nice COM
mentary, that. However, it is
understood that the population
of Lidgerwood is largely made
up of Bohemians and that furth-
ermore it is almost an
impossibility to secure a
jury in Sargent county
who will convict a blind pig
ger, however damaging the evil
dence. Lidgerwood is not the
only town, nor Sargent the only
county where this state OF
things exist, it is said.

present.
The members of the board took
the view that the present assess
ment Of the road was on a par
with the valuation of other prop
erty in the ftate. There have
been no substantial increases in
in the mileage of any of the roads
in the state and except for one
or two small! branch lines their
mileage remains the same as last
year. The total valuation Of thu
railroad property in the state
will be less than twenty-five mil

The board has also finished the
assessment of real property ant
of express companies. There wa

Since Wednesday morning he has is
sued two important orders along the
lines followed by Mr.. Shaw. Wednes
day he announced that the $30,000,O00
deposited with banks last September
would not be withdrawn at present,
Yesterday he directed that banks
which increased their circulation I'M
der Secretary Shaw's order of Oct. ~
might retain this additional circula'
ton until further notice. This means
that about $16,5OO,000 in circulation
may be retained by national banks.
Further than this, the secretary an
nouncei he would take up at once
the 4 per cent bonds maturing July
1, paying interest in advance. The
effect of this IS to make the govern

make it possible to put $25,5C0,0OO in
to monetary channels without delay.
providing holders OF these bonds
want to take advantage Of his order.
Besides this, he has ordered that GUS.
tom receipts may be deposited in ma.
tional banks under the new Aldrich
law. This applies only to cities
where there are no sub-treasuries, but
it will put about $23,0000,O0 a year
into the banks.

WROTE OWN FUNERAL SERMON.
II Was Not Delivered, Judge Barnes
Instead Gave Simple Talk.

II Was Not Delivered, Judge Barnes
Instead Gave Simple Talk.
l. Chicago, March 15.-Six weeks be.
fore he died John Alexander Dowie,
founder of Zion City and first apostle
of the Christian Catholic church, pre-
pared his own funeral sermon. Be-
cause of the character Of the sermon,
however, it was decided not to per-
nit it to be real at Dowie's funeral.
An effort is being made to bring
the warning interests of Zion City to-
gether once more in unity and instead
of Mr.. Dowie delivering message
from the grave, Judge Barnes, a life
time friend and an overseer of the
church, preached a simple sermon in
which he extolled the good Of the
dead man.
This sermon, which was given out
for publication, makes it plainly evil
dent that Dowie did not forgive mis-
enemies before he died, as he lashes
those who ousted him from control
as 4dogs of hell"
Dowie concluded his posthumous
sermon in the following manner:
"And l shall return and with ruth
less hand shall l exterminate the
vipers and the dogs of hell that now
hold the high places in the city Of
Zion. They dreamed ,and in the
grossness of their dreams they
thought they had prevailed over the
first apostle.
"And now priests and elders Of
Zion, I shall return to strike We down.
shall return in another form, bright
er and more beautiful and ten thou
sand times more terrible to cut We of
in the midst of your sins, and to win
back Zion for the truth and for them
that held to the word and did no evil"
