A WATERLOO FISH STORY.
Huge Buffalo, Moving Up Stream
Breaks Ice on River.

Waterloo, Jan 1.-THE phenomence
of the river rising and the ice breaking
up in mid winter was caused by the
unexplainable migration Of schools of
gigantic buffalo fish upstream.
Some of these fish probably weigh
fifty to one hundred pounds, and they
have approached the city in such large
numbers that the water has risen with
their advance.
Ralph and Charles Storm received
notice Of the migration by telephone
from friends down the stream They
went to the lower dam and waited for

1.-The Gridiron Club mourns the death
of it's vice president and one OF its
oldest and most active members. His
genial disposition. his gentleness Of
manner, his sunny temperament, the
linersIity and tolerance that marked his
and dealings with his
were the natural out
growth of a gentle nature which made
Crosby Stuart Noyes one OF the most
cOmpanionable OF men. and created ties
that bound him to his associates and

INJUNCTION is NEEDED.
SAYS JUSTICE BREWER

BALTIMORE, Feb. 22.-The address
Of Justice Brewer, last night, which re-
ferred to government By Injunction. is
causing much comment today in union
circles. Justice Brewer declared that
there IS a disposition TO tie the hands
OF the judge and to restrict judicial &C
ton.
This is particularly true IN the West.
he said. where a Judge is forbidden To
refer in his charge 10. the fact and il
required 10 instruct in writing. Re
ferring to government by Injunction
Justice Brewer said:
Again It IS disclosed by the cIamor
against the exercise of the equitable
power OF Injunction. Effort has been
made TO make this a political question.
Government by injunction has been an
object or easy denunciation So far
from removing or restricting this power
there never was a time when its unre-
stricted and vigorous exercise was
worth more to the nation and for the
best interests OF all.
"As population becomes more dense.
as business interests multiply and crowd
each other. the restraining power OF a
court of equity is OF far greater funport-
ance than the Furnishing power of a
court of criminal law.
ITO take away the equitable mower Of
restraining wrong, is a step backward
toward barbariSm rather than forward
toward . higher civilization"

more favor for use at the head of

this In spite of his views on the

particular interest in an editorial

Of his own State.
The Chicago Journal is the pub
LEGATION indicated, and its comment
bears the hardly euphonious cap
ton OF THE West and the Tariff
Bandits" In its Judgment the ex-
listing schedules divide the nation
into two parts-one which profits
through the Dingley tariff, the
East; one which is oppressed by it,
the West. Then it uses these plain
but sufficiently specific words:
When the Dingley tariff was being
framed Eastern trust magnates and
money kings seized upon Congress and

would have to pay them tribute.
The principle of protection must be
maintained, but the tariff must be 50

West ana South for the benefit OF
few Wall Street business bandits.
Washington believes In Theodore
Roosevelt so far as to hope and ex-
pect that he viii succeed himself.
But it has likewise the kindliest in
terest in Uncle Joe, and it would
wish that his availability might not
be threatened by pressure on every
pocketbook in the nation.

adopted;
The Association Of the Oldest InhabI-

More About the Hundred Best Books.

The fact is" says Clement Shorter
in a recent essay OF the subject, that
there Is no possibility OF naming the
hundred best books. The naming OF
them for any large general audience is
quite impossible All that Is possible IN
such a connection il TO state emphat-
lcally that there are very lew books
that are equally suitable 70 every kind
of intellect. Temperament as well as
intellectual endowment makes for 50
much IA reading.
Take. for example, the Imitation Of
Christ George Eliot. although not a
Christian, found II soul-satisfying-
Thackeray, as I think a more robust
intellect, found g well-nigh as mis-
chievous as aid Eugene Sue There are
great books that can be read only by
the few, but surely the very greatest
appeal alike to the man Of rich intel
lectual endowment and TO the man 10
whom all processes of reasoning are
Gncouaore hensible" As a part OF this
essay. which Mr.. Shorter includes in
hts volume, Immortal Memories pub
lished By the Harpers recently IN this
country, is a list Of his own choosing.
The list begins, as such Lists custom
arily DO, with the Bible.

Why You Should See Tapestries.

A scientist at work in Washing
ton once startled a wide circle o.
readers b. tracing IA parallel be
tween the intellectual progress Of
the world and the perfection of
Understanding. He might, with
more effect, have followed the long
thread which makes the very pat
tern Of civilization from the dawn
of Cur civilization in Egypt to this
very day in February, 1908.
Something like this has been done
by the National Society of Fine
Arts In the exhibit now open to the
public at the Corcoran Gallery of
Art. Tapestries, embroideries, and
laces Of almost every period are
gathered there, and they provide a
comprehensive view of woven fab
RIGS which Will have a many-sided
interest for everybody For such
textiles are history, industry, and
art all in one. That is why you
who read this type should go there
as soon as you can.
Washington holds, perhaps, a
higher place in the field Of tapes
tries than in anything else artistic.
The extensive and costly collection
Of Mr.. Charles N. Ffoullze is the sub
iect Of much comment wherever
such weavings are studied. At the
White House and other residences
are single pieces of unusual inter
est. Several of our townspeople
have collected laces and embroid-
cries with the coupled advantages
Of abundant means and fine discre-
ton. From such sources was this
display gathered.
The people Of Washington win do
themselves a great favor, therefore,
if they take time 20 visit the Cor
coran Gallery before the exhibit
comes to its end. They viii be
much interested, and they viii
learn somewhat-even the best in
formed of them. But there is an
other thing they will do which is of
almost the same Importance,
though not so likely 20 suggest it
self. They can by going show their
appreciation of the disinterested
and public service which made this
display a possibility.
