The smallest motor is that made by
a German mechanic. 1t is worked Dy
a battery deposited in his coat pocket
and he uses the motor as a scarf pin.
1t is working all the time, simply TO
show that it is an actual working mo-
tor. Il is curious to see the little
wheels revolving as the machine rests
on the scarf.

A Girls Giq1le.

Samuel Shadwell, a touchy old mar
living in an Indiana village, had a
pane of glass broken in his house one
night not long ago and next day he
had a t~en-year-old girl named Minnie
Dayton arrested for it.
When the case was called In court
he was asked how he knew 1t was
Minnie. He admitted that he didn't
see her, but heard her giggle. When
asked If her giggle was different from
that of any other girl he said it was
but he couldn't tell why. Neither
could he initiate the giggle, and he
lost his case
We all know what a girls giggle is
but if any of us were asked to give ar
imitation of it we'd probably fail. A
boy may litter, but when it comes tt
giggling only a girl can do that.

Young Man Bore No Grudge Against

That the young fellow had grit was
evident from the fact that his bust
ness, from nothing, had in a few years
begun to bring in a fairish income. He
made up his mind to get married. The
girl-although the daughter OF q
pompous country resident-agreed
with him; but the father did not see
things in the same light.
What. Your" he yelled, angrily.
"You want to marry my daughter!
Why, it is only a few years since you
were caddying for me"
That's true!" interrupted the young
man, "but l don't intend to let that
stand in the way. The language you
then used was certainly a trif1e-say
blue-tinted; but then you were under
the influence of disappointment. After
all, you know, a very bad golfer may
make a very good fa~ther-in-law. Any
how, I'm going to give you a chance"

INSPECT WORK ON
SAN PEDRO HARBOR
ENGINEERS AND ARCHITECTS
MAKE TRIP
Are Banqueted by Long Beach char,-
ber of Commerce-captain Fries
Explains What Govern
ment Is Doing

About eighty members of the Asso-
tion of Civil Engineers and Architects
of Southern California visited the in
ner and outer harbors at San Pedro
yesterday afternoon, Travelled through
Cerritos slough and the Long Beach
harbor to Long Beach, and banqueted
in the Eagles hall, at First street and
Pine avenue the guests of the Long
Beach chamber of commerce.
The afternoons trip was highly in
teresting to the engineers and archi-
tects and formed the subject of ami
mated discussions. The banquet was
a most successful affair. -Four long
tables were required to seat the visitors
and the members Of the chamber of
commerce who dined with them. The
tables were decorated with red carna-
tions. A tempting menu was provided
and the service was excellent.
Prior to the banquet Captain Amos
Fries, assistant United States engineer,
gave an educational and entertaining
address in the assembly room of the
lodge hall, explaining the recent plans
which he had conceived for the har-
bors at San Pedro. He dwelt at length
also on the interesting points of the
Long Beach harbor and prophesied a
day not far distant when 1t would be
thronged with vessels. He also ex-
planned the government work in prog
ress near San Pedro at the present
time Captain Fries said that the
Strengthening of Cerritos slough would
reduce the distance of Long Beach from
the outer harbor, by boat travel, to q, 600
feet. He said that the turning basin
would get the deposits OF silt, which
would make their removal easy and
that the opening of Cerritos slough and
the San Gabriel river would create a
tidal current that would be securing
in its effect. He estimated that 14,OO0,-
900 cubic yards of earth would be re-
moved in the dredging of the channels
projected by the Wilmington Dock
company. the Los Angeles Dock and
Terminal company. and in the pro-
posed changes which he would recon-
mend to be made in tho harbors at

ENTER THE BEAUTY CONTEST,

The Milwaukee Sentinel, feeling the
injustice of the claim of the Chicago
Tribune that Miss Della Carson, select
ed by the Chicago newspaper us the
most beautiful girl in Chicago, is the
most beautiful in the west, has under.
taken to find in Wisconsin 81 young wo-
man more beautiful. The Milwaukee
newspaper on Feb. "a published a chal-
lenge to the Tribune to enter portraits
of Miss Carson in competition with the
young woman who shall be selected as
the most beautiful in this state. The
challenge was accepted and The Sentinel
will print in its Illustrated Sunday Maga-
zine from Sunday to Sunday the por-
traits of many of the handsome women
of the state, beginning March 10 In
order TO secure from every city and vii
lage in the state the portraits of those
Young women who are entitled to a place
in its array of beauty, The Sentinel
has asked that the friends and acquaint-
ances of these women do send in their
pictures This paper urges strongly
that the residents of Manitowoc send in
to The Sentinel at once the photographs
of their beautiful friends.

MEETS WITH SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Joseph Forest Loses Ends of Three
Fingers While Operating Saw
at Goodrich Shops Saturday.

Joseph Forest, an employe at the
Goodrich machine shops, had three
fingers of his left hand cut off at the
first joints, while he was at work, opera
ting a circular saw at the shops last
Saturday morning. Surgical aid was
summoned and the wounds were dressed
The unfortunate man was then taken to
his home on Division street, where he
will be laid up for several months.
The accident was the second one that
occurred at the Goodrich shops within
the space of two weeks. Xavier Aumann
had his left hand so badly lacerated
about three weeks ago, while operating
a planer at the shops, that the member
had 20 be amputated.

WISCONSIN CENTRAL RAIL WAY,
Passenger Department.

The recent decision of the Wisconsin
Railroad Commission, establishing
two and one half cen: per mile fare be-
tween all points within the State upon
the Chicago, Milwaukee and Saint Paul
Railway, The Chicago, St. Paul Mime
apolis and Omaha Railway and the
Chicago and North. Western Railway
and recommending the sale of IA five
hundred mile book at ten dollars, good
within Wisconsin, has been accepted by
those roads in a conscientious effort to
meet the views of the Commission. No
similar determination has been made
covering the territory served by the
Wisconsin Central Railway Company,
From the facts and figures submitted at
the arguments we feel satisfied that the
Commission cannot but conclude that
the same rates applied in the same way
to the business and earnings of our Com
pany would BE as unjust and contsca-
tory as Il fiat two cent rate would have
been to the other roads mentioned above.
1t may then result that legally our
Company shall be entitled to charge It's
patrons between local points more for
transportation than can be charged for
similar and equal service to those more
fortunately situated in that respect who
are patrons Of the other specified lines
We feel, however that the Wisconsin
Central Railway Company owes an i'm.
perative public duty, even at a large
loss Of revenue, to give the people Of the
State served by it, every facility and
advantage in the transaction of business
that is offered by any other Railway
Line within the State Of Wisconsin. To
confine such benefits to competitive
business, exacting IA greater charge upon
purely local travel would be u hardship,
though justihable in law, and dis,
elimination in fact that good business
policy condemns
1t is therefore distinct pleasure to
announce to the Citizens Of Wisconsin,
and particularly to the patrons of our
line, that, regardless Of the result to be
reached by the Commission in the pend.
ing matter, or the consequent loss of
revenue, the Wisconsin Central Railway
Company will meet any reduction in
passenger rates required or suggested
by the Commission ruling and in
angurated by any of the other interstate
railroads operating in Wisconsin.

TRIAL OF WATER WORKS CASE
IS TEMPORARILY ABANDONED.

The trial of the case of the Water
Works company against the city of
Manitowoc for hydrant rental in the
sum of 80, 900 WAS suddenly interrupted
and abandoned, temporarily last Satur.
day morning as the result of a wholly
unwarranted statement made by a local
postoffice employe Friday morning and
the sensational setting given said state
ment in an article appearing in a local
daily paper Friday evening. In con-
nection with said article appeared a
public retraction and apology over the
signature of the Young man that made
the break"
This talking too much and printing
too much has cost the city hundreds of
dollars; for the trial of the case was ap-
preaching its end, and now the case will
have TO be tried over again, when an
other judge is called in to sit in trial on
the case. At this writing it is not known
when the case will again be taken up
for trial.
The unwarranted statement referred
to reflected on Judge Michael Kirwan,
the Judge in the case in question, who
refused to continue TO preside over the
trial after the sensation had been created
by the words uttered by the young man
in question and the unjustitiably sensa.
tional manner in which said words were
published.
The utterance and publication of the
words in question, of course, did not,
and could not, in the slightest measure,
shake the confidence of the bar and the
public of Manitowoc city and county in
the sterling worth and irreproachable
character of their trusted iudge and
highly esteemed fellow citizen, Judge
Michael Kirwan, than whom no man of
Wisconsin was ever more worthy of con-
tideuce and the wearing of the judicial
erlnine.

TWO DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.

Charles A. Groffman, the South
Eighth street druggist, has filed nomina-
tion papers W a candidate for mayor on
the democratic ticket. Mr. Grotfman is
well and favorably known throughout
the city, and will we believe, receive
the support of republicans as well as
that of democrats on election day at the
pools He has served as member of
the county board oe supervisors and he
discharged his duties very creditably in
that capacity. He is in every way
qualified for the Office to which he
aspires.
William Willinger has filed nomina-
tion papers rs candidate on the demo
cratic ticket for the Office Of city treas.
urer. He was IA candidate for that Office
at a previous election, at which time,
while defeated he made good run.
This time, at the approaching election,
he hopes to win out; and we venture to
say that, providing he gets the most
votes, he will win ont Mr.. Willinger
is well qualified for the competent dis,
charge of the duties pertaining 10 the
Office be seeks.
