Green Bay authorities have done
q gsod piece of work by making an
example of a so-caHed ''masher,'
one of that class of gentry who de-
hight in hanging around street
corners, ogling women and accost-
ing whom they think they dare &C
Syest. The individual who learned
his Erst lesson in decency at Green
Cav basks under the name Of Sandy
NaEfeE and is a photograph solicitor
esY trade. Besides receiving some
uncomfortable bruises on his head,
by the offended woman who welded
a handgrp with telling effect, he
encountered fine of So % in jus
Eice court which should be a re-
zninder that ''mashing" isn't a
healthy occupation in that locality.
The Green Bay officers are to be
commended for their work in max
Sng the arrest and imposing the fine,
while the woman in the case de-
serves a Carnegie medal for taking
the law in her own hands long
enough to administer timely re-
Duke to insolence.

sTREETER HITS THE BULLs-EYE
Mrs. Eddy's Competency the Question
Judge Views Ii Differently.

Mrs. Eddy's Competency the Question
Judge Views 1t Differently.
General Frank S. Streeter, of this
city, chief counsel for the defendants,
occupied the floor throughout the days
proceedings. His argument was de-
voted principally TO the contention that
in order to prevent the trustees being
substituted for ''neXt friends" as plain
tiffs in the original suit the next
friends" must prove Mrs. Eddy'S in
competency to execute the trust deed
giving her trustees power to act for
her. General Streeter alleged that it
was the legal right of the trustees to
prosecute the suit against the ten de-
PENDANTS.
He submitted the trust deed to the
court and asserted that it was valid.
To make it invalid, he alleged, the
''neXt friends" must prove Mrs. Eddy
incapable of making the transfer Of
her property to the trustees. If the
deed is valid, he said. not only all of
Mrs. Eddy's property has been trans
ferred but the right to prosecute the
suit passed to the trustees, and they
ask to be allowed to carry it on. If
Mrs Eddy's competency to make the
deed is regarded rs material then the
question of competency must be de-
cided first. This ended the days pro-
Cceings.
Judge Chamberlain announced ut the
outset of the hearing that the proceed
iugs should he confined strictly to the
question of the Intervention of tho
trustees MS plaintiffs. He said that ne
would not consider Mrs. Eddys com,
potency ut this time

GOOD USE FOR PHoNoGRAPH.
It HowIs for the Police When Flat of

The wars of crime which has been
passing over Paris lately and which
the police seem quite powerless to
prevent has caused the citizens to
adopt various devices to protect their
homes from invasion by the Apaches.

more than one family has sought pro.

Extravaganza In Dress.

Very few persons outside of the
glittering circle of our enormously
rich families, who constitute what is
referred to as "the best society" can
understand how any young woman in
this or any other country can spend
upon her wardrobe such vast amounts
of money as are expended by the
daughters of some Of these families.
The history of the world does not
show such reckless extravaganza in
the way of dress. Nor, for the mat
ter Of that, does the history of the
world show so riotous a use Of money
as that practiced by our very rich in
their. strictly social advertisements.
Happy is the lot of the man or WON
an who is not tempted to such foolish
indulgences, which take the edge from
life's real joy!

State legislation can now begin
operation. Stephenson has been
elected Senator and there should be
no more delay as to the passage of
those important measures of damn

bridge across Peters Gully. Get to

that is really worth while heating
the Capitol building for. The amount
Of gas you are using up would pay

had asked her mother to explain to

Marjorie had often heard her father
talking of wireless telegraphy, and she
wanted to know all about it. So her

planned how there We're two long sticks

by Cedarwood 2:2415; 1st dam by
MambTino Swlgert $50; 2nd dam by
Dick West, WestwOOd ranks among
the best sires that has even been in
Grant county. His colts have plenty
of size and are good individuals. they
are very tOppy and good actors and Of
a good disposition; they have also
proven themselves to be good sellers
and have size enough to make good
farm or carriage horses. People that
patroniZed him when he was here be-
fore have been very anxious to have
him returned to this locality and for
that reason we purchased this horse at
q great expense to give the public a
chance once more to use the horse,
which they had the misfortune to
lose the use of for few years. But
now he is back here to stay. We
THINK we deserve a liberal patronage
to this grand son of Cedarwood. Call
and see him before going elsewhere.
He will make the season as follows:
North Andover, Mondays.
Albert Sprague's, BeetOwn, Tuesday
and Wednesdays.
Dyers' Livery, Lancaster, Friday

THE RIcksHAw AND 0i.NDr.
Primitive Modes Of Travel in Hill
Country Of India.

In the, mountain. districts of India
the principal vehicles Of passenger
conveyance are. the, ;rickshaw and the
dandy with which RYdyaEd gKipling
has made US familiar. Unitfdo States
Consul Gsp,,o Michael nOfq Calcutta,
writes thus. about > these tKEiilb}iic les:
"'The rickshaw is pushed and pulled
through the streets and on the roads
leading out into the country by four
coolies, and the dandy is carried on
the shoulders of four and sometimes
six coolies. Saddle ponies are also
used to some extent but most of the
inhabitants and quite all visitors used
the 'rickshaw and dandy The latter
is constructed on the plan of sleigh
box, but longer. A pole is attached
fore and aft, which is long enough to
give a springy motion when the coolies
are walking and trotting. A cross
piece rests on the shoulders of the
coolies and is shifted now and then
from one shoulder to the other for
rest BY the command of the cOOlie
in charge this shift is made simultane-
ously. AS a rule, both the 'rickshaws
and the handles are heavier than
they need to be, and they are general
ly lacking in finish. Yet these vehicles
cost as much as light and strong ones
well finished should cost. The writer
would like to place alongside of the
'rickshaws and handles in use in In
dia some samples manufactured in
the United States after designs made
by an American designer. The sam.
pies would attract orders"
