ANALYSIS OF ANTITRUST
 LAW BY MR. BONAPARTE

New York, Dec s12.-RepIying to the toast ''the bar of the country and the cause of federal Justice." Attorney Bonparte, speaking at the banquet of the Pennsylvania Society of New York, l tonight analysed the sso-caIed anti trust law and made suggestions for it's betterment.
 After declaring that Americans are a Judge ruled" people and that the dictum of Tal1eyrand that the char acteristic traits of Americans were a great lover of liberty and a great thirst for wealth Is as true today. as when uttered by the French states man. the Attorney reviewed the condi- tions that had made necessary the enrichment the anti-trust laws - within the memory of this genera tion," said he "the Afperican people slowly awakened to a consciousness dim and confused at first but steadily growing clearer that all Americans did not then find fair ffeid; did not get a square deal... as they. tried to gain wealth. The trouble was not that some Americans had grown very rich, no one really balmed them for that their grievance lay in that the very rich men could, and some of them did make 1t harder than nature and fortune. had made 1t for poor men who wanted to grow rich.
 "The cards were stacked. the dice were loaded against the humBler players. This free American citizen was told he must get out of business because the trust wanted his trade that free American citizens who would buy of another as free, was told. his neighbor would not sell him because the trust forbade. The little dealer. found. or suspected and with reason that he was charged twice or thrice what the railroads asked of the trusts ana when his goods reached their market, 1t was closed to. them for the trust understood him by the half Of its rebate.
 And as the truths are so made plain, there arose from those, who saw and felt them at first mumuHs of discou- tent and soon demands, growing audibly louder and more angry that the law making powers state and na- tional should heed the outcry and remedy the evils. The answer of our congress to those demands has been given in the antitrust laws"
 The attorney general was of the opinion that the antitrust laws might be improved by entrusting administra- tive officers with duties similar to those exercised by the secretary of war in matters of obstruction of navigable waters.
 Under proper safeguards. he said, these officers would be given power to act in matters lof obstruction of com merce and could take steps to pre- vent combinations in restraint of trade or tending to create monopolies.

 Hide fin Cleveland.
 Cleveland. Ohio, Dec. 12--Unexpect- ed and unheralded. John D. Rockefel- Ter arrived in Cleveland today from New York.
 The oil smagnate visited his down town residence for the. first time in East Thirteenth Street and the Nickle Plate tracks. where he first set up business as an oil refiner. rode in a street car to Forest HiIl his East Cieveland estate, trnmped about the place for two hours %xith his .eare- taler, and returned to his town home to pass the night. ala
 on the street car bound for Forest HiIl. Mir. Rockefeller paid his three cent fare and then stepped into the motorman's vestIbule. introducing him self to Motorman Miller. Miller ofs fered to give up his stool to the nii- lionaire, but Mir. Rockefeller told him he did ndt need it.
 ''I'd like te be able to run this car as you are doing" said Mr. Rockefeller to Miller. @
 You can have my job at any timo you wish it." replied the mOtornhan chseri1y.
 voIubly all the way to FIfty-fifth street, when Mr. Rockefeller came in- side the car and sat down, Mir. Rocixe- feIlers dropped into philosophy and when the motorman interjected a re- mark about the qualities Of success, the oil man said: -
 Success is simply doing something better than any one else has been able to it."

Why suffrasettes Win in England.

Sydney Brooks, in Harper's Weekly.
 It is rather interesting to compare the different attitudes of English and Amer lean women towards the general ques- lion. do not know that American wo- men have added anything to the stock reasons in favor of women's suffrage. Like vegetarianism, the subject Is one pn which all that can be said, for and against, has been said But American women have certainly added a new point to the old arguments. They have made resistance to them argumentatively more Difficult for the men of America than 1t is for the men of any other country. America, they proclaim, declares herself to be the only land of equal rights, yet she gives to one-half of her population B privilege which she withholds from the other half She boasts that the very keystone of her system is individual rep resentaton. yet when it comes to po- litical rights she divides her people not Into individuals, but into sexes And the sex which she excludes, to complete the Irony of the paradox, is, on the whole, the better educated of the two has been granted the most extensive civil and le- gal rights. and is freely admitted to the professions and to almost all avenues of business. American women control the education and culture of their coun- try almost to the point of effeminiza- ton. The divorce laws from Maine to California impress foreigner as being specially framed to meet their conyen- fence. Some six millions of them work for living, the majority of them in ways that admit not only of economic but of social independence. In the so-called professions. as teachers, writers, lawyers. physicians ministers. architects and SO on, more than half the total number em- ployed are women. Philanthropic work has largely passed into their hands; without them nine-tenths of the Ameri-

years ago 1 found that only seven had ever sung it before. For this reason a choirmaster doesn't dare ever to take anything for granted.
 "So sure as he thinks that his choir knows perfectly a particular anthem and that rigid reh earsal will scarcely be necessary, he finds generally that four or five boys have never sung 1t even once. Another feature which greatly curtails the hours of ease If a choirmaster is the impossibility of repeating often.
 "A congregation such as this wants new music or different music constantly. For instance, this years Easter music will not include any selection sung at Easter last year, and the Lenten music too, will be quite different from that of 1907
 Some idea of the work required of the boys may be had when l point out that all the Easter music, the music of can- tata to be given in Holy Week and the music to be sung at the daily services held during Lent will have to be prac- ticed at the regular morning and after noon programmes given between now and Easter. Yes, I have begun on the Eas- ter music already.
 For the Lenten services I divide the choir into three squads so as to make it easier for the boys, who thus take turns in singing. But although they are worked hard none ever complains, Tor after Easter comes the reward of special outing at no expense to them.
 ITO get good musical results from boys is sometimes easier than to get them from adults. Boys are never nervous. It never occurs to them that they can't do a thing Adults are full of fears and self-consciousness Not so the small boy. 
 And it is remarkable the way new boys fall in line. Of course 1t is absolutely necessary that to sing in this choir boy should have pretty good voice, but It IS not necessary that he should be able 10 read music rapidly, for in less than three months any boy Is almost certain to learn to read
 For the first year usually cAorister Is not of much account, but after that his improvement is very rapid. rake a lO- year-old boy, no matter how ignorant ne may be- and provided he can sing, the chances are that In one year he will nave learned to read and that his chancel man ners will be of the best"
 ''But can you depend on the boys who live at a distance?" 1t was asked.
 '"rhey are just as dependable as the boys who live in the vicinity. All their expenses are paid by the church-train fare, car fare, any extra outlay they may have to make to get here or which IS in- cured by their staying to extra services The afternoon rehearsals do not begin till 3:30, which gives every boy chance to be here on time, the schools they at tend excusing them few minutes earlier on choir days.
 "A small percentage of the boys l have trained say they hope to follow music as a profession, and in several instances believe they will make good"
 The lowest sum paid to a choir boy, II was learned, Is $10 month and the hlgh- est $50 month, the latter being paid to soloist only.

FREAK ELECTRIC SHOCKS

The trolley current Is a 500-volt cir
 cuit with the exception of perhaps half
 dozen lines recently installed, which
 go to 1000 or over. It Is well to re-
 member in case of falling trolley wire
 that standing upon a dry board will
 give full protection; that while sitting
 in car there Is no danger of shock
 from broken wire or other cause If
 one does not touch metal or wet wood;
 raising the feet from the floor that
 may be wet or dirty will do as an
 additional precaution
 If one wishes to remove a wire to avoid shock or for other reasons, it may be
 done with safety while standing upon a dry, clean board with piece of dry board not large enough to stand on, or With
 several thicknesses of dry paper Ca news
 paper), or, in case of emergency, a bundle of dry clothing. As it is difficult to get the latter perfectly dry a shock
 may be received when this Is attempted, but the resistance will be so high that the shock will not be very severe. The deadly third rail also operates at
 5O0 volts and Is no more deadly than has been already shown, except for the prob
 ability of a person who is thrown down by the shock of failing across the rail
 and becoming unconscious. This of | course, is as serious a case even as that Of the man who Is unable to let go of the wire.
 Wires used for street lighting may all ways be regarded with suspicion; they | are exceedingly likely to carry current 1 of 20o0 volts or more. This will, in most | cases, give fatal current and the pres l sure is so great that the precautions pre- l viously described are not to be depended | upon One would be reasonably safe, how i ever, if standing upon a chair or stoo l with perfectly dry wooden legs.
 As wires of 2000 volts or more are quite
