Plea of the Girl Graduate.

The sweet girl graduate has re-
belled at last. Listen to her plea in
the Detroit News:
It's perfectly foolish-the way they
all talk
And there isn't word of it true.
I'm tired of hearing us graduates
slammed
And sneered at, and lied about, too.
For this is the style that they use:
Nov look out;
The graduates coming our way:
And she'll try to reform this old
spheroid of ours,
In blue-ribboned essay today"
Now who, may ask, wants to cure
your old world,
OF its hundred and one chronic all
ings?
And who would reform, if they pos
sibly could
It's monstrous and manifold fail
ings?
Not we, l assure you; we're busy
enough
Without taking care of the earth.
And, anyhow, we're not complain
ing at all
OF this glorious land of our BIRTH
It's a jolly old place for the most Of
us girls,
And we'd not change the thing if
we could,
We're happy, contented; we ask for
no change
We're ready to do as we should.
Of course we write essays; but wha
can we do?
We've got to show off what we
know;
But we don't mean word of the
stuff that we spout;
It's all just bluff and a blow.
Commencement day over, our essays
all read,
Our frilIs and our fluffs packed
away;
The most of us aren't intending at all
That the world should observe
what we say.
We're nothing but girls, we're aware
of the fact,
And were not all wrapped up in our
books.
In truth-our ambition is not to re
form.
We're anxious to learn to be cooks

Fish Up Drowned Tars.


Clad in full naval uniforms and
with face and hands fearfully mutilat
ed the bodies of Midshipmen p. Fl
Field, of Virginia, class of 1906, and
w. H. Stevenson, North Carolina
class of 1906, and F. p Holcomb, oil
Delaware, class 1907, were found in
Chesapeake bay Monday The bodies
after being examined and identified
were taken by the naval tug Potomac
to the naval hospital at Portsmouth
The bodies of four of the eleven
men drowned in the Minnesota
launch week ago have now been
found. The one discovered in the
launch was that of fireman, G. w
Westfall
The bodies of the three midshipmen
and four seamen are still missing and
the launches and tugs are still search
ing the lower bay and roads for them.
The fact that the bodies found Mon
day had drifted ten or twelve miles
from the scene of the tragedy gives
rise to the fear that all of them will
never be found

Use Navy to Smuggle.

Commander Cameron MGR Wins
low, one of the richest officers in the
navy commanding the cruiser Char
lesion, who was arresed by custom
house officers charged with snug
Cling champagne, cigars, and other
dutiable articles, has been released
under special orders from the treas
ury department. He was ordered to
pay sos duty.
Customs officers say the seisure of
Commander Winslow's goods is the
beginning of the great naval scandal
and that they will be able to show
naval officers assigned shore duty are
accustomed to lay in quantities of
wines, cigars and other dutiable
goods.
Chief Customs Officer Barnes was
suspicious when he saw the crates
coming ashore from the Charleston
and asked Commander Winslow what
the boxes contained. Commander
Winslow. according to Barnes, swore
the cases contained household goods
all consigned to Commander Win
slows cottage in Newport
Not satisfied with the explanation
customs officers watched the cases
until they were put aboard a freight
car and billed east by the Santa Fe
railway The cases were then seiz-
ed and opened and according to Chief
Freight Agent Barber of the railroad
company, were found to contain
twenty-nine cases of champagne, two
cases, weighing 10 pounds, each said
to contain notions, but really con-
tanning curios, and also several cases
of cigars, total of 2,100 pounds.
The goods were removed to the Gus
tom house, where the local appraised
decided all were dutiable, and fixed
the duty at $2O5.
Because of the high rank of Com
mander Winslow the customs officials
were in doubt how to proceed, and
wired all the facts to Washington.
Commander Winslow appeared much
relieved when told the treasury de-
partment had ordered him simply to
pav duty.

Mrs. Chapman Wanes Fast.

Friends and physicians have given
up all hope of the recovery of Mrs.
J. Wilbur Chapman, who is so very
i'll at the Epworth Hospital, South
Bend. Mrs. Chapman was worse all
day Friday, having had hard chill
that morning.
Late Friday afternoon Dr. A. c.

Mcdonald is the family physician
and assisted in the amputation of
Mrs. Chapman's limb. At o'clock
Friday evening word was received at

South Bend has Youngest Composer

Suoth Bend has probably develop

successful musical composition Rol
land Voyle Mee'Ss, 16 years old, ant
student of the South Bend high
school, has lately written and is pub

Mayor Schmitz in Tail.


Mayor Schmitz is in jail For
some months at least San Francisco
will present the anomaly of city
OF half a million inhabitants nomin-
ally governed by a convicted felon
whose office will be a prison cell.
But he will be mayor in name on
ly and will be unable to perform any
of the duties of his office. Chairman
Gallagher of the finance committee
OF the board of supervisors will be-
come the acting mayor.
When Mayor Schmitz appeared in
court Friday morning to ask Judge
Dunno to release him on bail until
June q, when sentence will be pro-
nounced, he still had hopes that he
might be spared the humiliation of
being locked up in jail. This hope
was soon dashed, however, when the
judge ordered that he should be
treated like any other convicted
criminal and sent him away in
charge of an officer. They got into
an auto provided by the city for the
use of the mayor and sped rapidly
away. l
In refusing bail Judge Dunno said
I'm every criminal case, after convic-
ton by jury, the defendant is or
dered into the custody of the sher-
iff Any other disposition of this de-
PENDANT certainly would have to be
preceded by proper and formal
showing. That is a consideration
should not even allow the prosecu-
ton to waive"
The maximum penalty for the
crime of extortion is FIVE years i'm
prisonment in the state prison A
few years ago law was placed upon
the statute books of the state that
a convicted person could not be GUST
ed from office until such conviction
had been upheld by a higher court.
As cases move slowly on appeal. it
ia considered likely that the higher
court will no pass upon this matter
until after the mayors term of office
has expired.

The Electric Light Franchise.

We presume that the common
council, which seems to be given to
inserting strenuous clauses in pro-
posed franchises. has safeguarded
the rights of the citizens of Ply
mouth by inserting a clause in the
Snoeberger franchise which prevents
Mr.. Snoeberger from selling his
plant to any person. firm or corpora
ton now engaged in or that might
hereafter be organized to engage in,
a competitive business to electric
lighting, as for instance the gas COM
pany.
The council seems to justify its
course in inserting restrictive
clause in the franchise offered the
Farmers Mutual Telephone company
! and we are in hopes that the same.
disinterestedness as that prompted
the council tc insert the clause which
the farmers refused to accept will be
found in the franchise offered Mr..
Snoeberger We are anxiously await
ing the publication at $4,000 per
paper) to see whether these same
disinterested men will be as liberal
in safeguarding Mr.. Snoeberger as
well as the citizens by such a clause
as they were to help the Farmers.
