In Justice Court.

Early Sunday morning a prominent
merchant of Plymouth and his clerk
were arrested by two fish commits
sioners, for fishing with a seine in the
river above the dam Those who
are wise" refuse to divulge the
names of the parties concerned They
were arraigned before Justice Young,
and paid a fine amounting to 500.
andrew Wichellock residing near
Lake of the Woods, was arrested for
fishing with net, and was fined $33.75
Monday afternoon a man giving his
name as Omar Lane, entered one of
the saloons on Laporte street, and
pulled bottle of carbolic acid from
his pocket, and said, Goodbye, boys,
this is the last you will see of me"
He did not drink rhe acid, however,
and was chased out of. the place
When brought before Justice Young
he said that he had wife. now re-
siding in the old Windsor hotel,
whom he thought the world of, but
she had been treating him very bad
ly Of late and he had resolved to end
his life, to make his wife sorry His
wife's maiden name he said. was
Florence Miller. He was locked up
in jail until the effects of over indul-
gence in fire water should wear off.
The case of State of Indiana versus
Shell Leland for attempt to bride
witness, in Liberty Cross case, to
leave town, was concluded. Justice
Young found that the evidence was
sufficient, and bound Leland over to
circuit court under bond of $100. Lee
land at first refused to furnish bond
but later changed his mind.
Mrs Shell Leland was found gull
tyNof assault upon the person of
Chas. Miles, constable, and was fined
with costs, $11.7O Miles arrested
Leland in the bribery case, and so in

Monday Miles was engaged in paint
ing A. r. Clizbe's residence on North
Michigan street, when Mrs. Leland
passed. Whether words passed be-
tween the two, is not known, but

Educating Aliens for Citizenship.

Congress has given us better natur-
alization laws, and the question of
immigration regulation and restr;c-
ton Is under active consideration,
the committee that went 10 Europe 70
obtain new data thereon having re-
turned and being about to prepare its
full report to the national legislature
In various ways the quality of the
newer Americans should show con-
siderable Improvement.
But IN addition to all that is being
done or planned by Congress, the
states and municipalities have duties,
opportunities and resources OF their
own in this broad field OF activity,
and they can do a great deal TO facil-
tate assimilation OF the aliens that
are pouring in annually and to- make
it easier for them to become intelli-
gent and useful citizens
OF course, many cities, large and
small, maintain night schools for
adult immigrants, and the usefulness
OF these is undoubtedly great. The
English language and other elemen-
tary studies are taught in them, and
the essential needs of the newcom-
ers from continental Europe and 9TH
er countries are thus supplied in a
measure. But New Jersey and the
Boston school board have, each in its
own way 'branched out" and under
taken novel tasks with the view OF
fitting aliens more directly and more
thoroughly for citizenship and gen
eral conduct New Jersey has enacted
a statute which provides for the es-
Enlistment of special and novel
type of school Tor immigrants
school that will teach them not only
the language of the country but some
thing about our government, our
laws and institutions, our history, our
current politics and moral principles
Attendance is not compulsory,bu but the
idea is that the new schools should
be made useful and attractive enough
to render compulsion unnecessary
even assuming that it could legally
be applied.
The Boston school board is prepar-
ing a special civic" textbook for
the foreigners in its night and day
schools, adult and juvenile The text
book is TO contain all the information
that new Americans need particularly
chapters about our threefold govern
ment, our naturalization laws, our
elections, primaries, suffrage and cor
rupt practice acts There will also
be chapters dealing with the Boston
libraries, museums, churches, etc,
and impressing the desirability of
cleanliness, obedience to sanitary and
other laws.
1t is not stated whether this admir-
able textbook is to be translated into
the various foreign languages. 1t
should be, if the maximum of bene-
fits is to be extracted from it, 1t is
hoped that other cities will follow
the promising example of Boston. AS
to the larger New Jersey scheme, it
should be watched with real interest

law upon the consciousness OF man.

A case of virulent tetanus, or lock-
law. has been cured by the doctors
of the Williamsburg (Brooklyn, ~
W Hospital. There are, it is said,
only two other similar cures on rec
ord.
Six weeks ago Mrs. Annette Koest-

in the first stages of 1ockjaw from
a wound from a rusty nail Her ag-
ony was so intense that she was re-
moved to the hospital. A council OF
physicians agreed that her. case was
hopeless.
Nevertheless DR. Henderson OF this
house staff injected anti-toxin and
has done so every day since. q
month passed without apparent re-
suits. The treatment began to show
signs of success about week ago.

Sixty-one years ago the little steam
ship Europa of the Cunard line, with
her old-fasIhfoned engine crossed the
Atlantic from Liverpool to New
York in eleven days and three hours.
Her performance was heralded Ito
the four quarters of the earth, for the
Europa had broken the record of
fourteen and one-half days, made by
the steamer Great Western eight
years before, in 1888. With the Eu-
ropa's voyage began the lasting con-
test for the supremacy of the sea
which led to the building of the fleet
Lusitania
The Lucania's record of five days
seven hours and twenty-three min
utes, made from Queenstown to- New
York in 1894, was not broken until
the Lusitania arrived in New York
Friday The Lucania, the flagship
of the Cunard line fleet, on that trip
made an average speed of 21.s1 knots
oyer course of 2,779 miles
While the Lucania was holding the
Queenstown record the North Ger
man Lloyd and American lines began
to battle for the western record from
Southampton to New York, which
was held for three years between
1898 and 1896 by the steamships Par
is, New York and ST. Paul, of the
American line
The St. Paul in 1896 made the voy-
age from Southampton to New York
a distance OF 1850 miles, in six days
and thirty-one minutes.
Then the North German Lloyd
company put over the Kaiser Will
helm der Crosse, the first of the
greater ocean steamships now ira
versing the Atlantic, and the new YES
sci in 1897 became the marine won
der of tho world when she hung up
a record of FIVE days, swenty-two
hours and thirty-hve minutes from
Southampton to New York.
The big Kaiser, as she is Familiarity
called in shipping circles, created a
new record in 1899, when she steamed
from Cherbourg, France, to New
York. distance of 1850 miles. in
FIVE days, eighteen hours and fifteen
minutes. This record was lowered
in the same year by the Kaiser to
five DAYS, seventeen hours and thir-
ty-seven minutes. The Hamburg
American line captured the blue .ro-
ply of the sea from her rival in 1000,
with the steamship Deutschland,
which made the distance from Cher
bourg to New York in five days,
twelve hours and twenty-nine minu-
ties.
The Deutschland lowered her own
record by six minutes in 1901. The
Kron Prinz Wilhelm, the new ship
of the North German Lloyd line
slipped across Tie Atlantic in 1902
in five days, eleven hours and fifty
seven minutes, which was the banner
record until the next year. when the
Deutschland again wrested the hon
| ors as the fastest ship afioat, by clip
ping off three minutes from the rec
ord time of the Kron Prinz Wilhelm
The Deutschland made on this re
markable voyage an average speed o
| 23.51 knots.

Hoboes Under Arrest.

Six hoboes were taken into custody
in Elkhart Saturday night by Lake
Shore Detective Young, Peter Haup-
rick and William Grand, two of the
number were charged with having at
tempted to- wreck a Lake Shore train
in the Elkhart yards. The others
are held as witnesses to the crime.
The sextette had been driven from
the company's grounds previous to
finding distractions on the tracks A
desire for revenge is believed to have
been the motive for placing scrap
iron on the tracks.

Secretary Taft's Tour.

Secretary Taft's present swing
around the circle" will be the most
notable any American official has ev-
er taken, and will probably be far
reaching in its influence. He will

government by opening their first

emperor of Japan. Gar Nicholas OF
Russia and Emperor William of Ger
many before returning home 1t has
not been announced what topic he will
discuss in the various courts he will
visit, nor what message he will de-
liver, but undoubtedly the far eastern
situation will be the leading subject,
both as to present policies and the
future. How far he will be clothed
with authority to speak for this gov
eminent is not stated, but there is
some significance in the preparations
that are being made by the different
foreign governments TO receive him
semi-officially. He will undoubtedly
be admitted to the inner circles, and
when the world history of the next
decade shall be written it may be
found that his name appears in many
places and in large type Whatever
he may do officially either at Pekin,
St. Petersburg or Berlin will come
out in time, but it is likely his mis-
sion will be to pave the way to Off
cial action rather than to himself act
officially, and the fruits will be in the
treaties yet to be made The trip will
help make thrs country known 10 the
world 4 will put US in closer touch
and on friendIier terms with other
nations And it will be great ex-
perience for Mr. Taft.

Chicago Not to Have New Charter.
By a vote OF 121, 479 to 1851 the
people of Chicago said they did not
want a new charter Its defeat was
overwhelming, unexpected to its
friends, and discouraging TO the men
who had worked to give the city the
advantages of the proposed act.
They always had in mind the pos
sibility that the voters would reject
the work of the charter convention
and the legs Iature, but that it should
be by such figures they had not
dreamed
The opposition of the United So
cieties, with their false idea that
their personal liberty was endanger-
ed, and of the small property own
ers who feared that their taxes
would be raised, aided by the efforts
of certain corporate interests which
had reasons for disliking the act,
proved too hard to be overcome.
OF the 361, 96s registered voters,
just about one-half, 1s1, 060, took the
trouble 10 vote, and 1sO,9O had no
voice in the settlement of the ques-
ton
The result proved that in an cleo
ton commanding the interest of only
half the voters the United Societies
must be reckoned with in the settle
ment of a public issue which they
make of interest to their member
ship.
They went in to prove that they
possessed such political power and
have the satisfaction of knowing that
they do possess it however much the
demonstration may have been to the
injury of the city.
The amendment TO the Municipal
courts act, which was not opposed
managed TO escape the slaughter OF
its companion on the ballot and was
adopted by a majority OF 1871
votes. 1t is doubtful if one voter in
twenty who marked his ballot against
the Municipal courts act could have
given a reason for doing SO, but he
went to the polls in Va destructive
frame of mind and made no distinc-
tons. There were not enough neg
atives, however, to defeat it.
One man in every nine who voted
on the charter proposition did not
have enough interest in the question
to vote on the Municipal courts act
Nearly 10000 voters took the small
ballot, made one mark on it, ignored
the second question, and voted mere
.ly on the main question.
These figures are curious examples
of the inconsistencies and eccentric
tiles of popular vote, but they indi'
cate that a small army o. men wen
to the polling places to do one thing
and the general results show thai
they did it.-Chicago Tribune.
