Then there was enacted a little
comedy entitled where does a pc

and is read?" Everybody seemed to
have different idea until finally
Mr.. NAPLES and Mr.. Gorton settled
things by saying that 1t must be
referred to the committee under
whose jurisdiction 1t comes. After It
has been passed by council and a
resolution ordering the service

clerk was instructed to notify the
company to extend its mains at once
The service board was instructed
to see that the excavations in front
of the Markert store on South Main
street are filled in at once as they
have become nuisance.
Councilman Schneckenberger got
a little nervous when a member
asked what had become of the or
dinance to proceed with the con-
struction OF sewer on Davids
street. He jumped to his feet and
said that the council should not
pass an ordinance for the benefit
of one man and to the damage or
many others. Mr.. NAPLES replied
warmly that council at least had
the right to pass 1t or to vote it
down and he demanded to know
where II had gone President Rau-
hauser said that Mr.. Schneckenberg-

Jesse Lynch Williams "My Lost
Duchess" is a romance, with a mystery,
the scenes set chiefly in Fifth avenue
and Central Park.
A new and drastically revised edi-
tion of John Galsworthy's novel, "The
Island Pharisees," containing preface
by the author, will be issued in a few
weeks. The book originally appeared
in the spring of 1904.
The translation into French Of Hen
ry Van Dykes ''The Ruling Passion"
has had a great success in France, and
NJ. Emile Faguet, member of the
academy and author Of 'The, History
of English Literature" called it "a
pure chef-d'oeuvre." Thus do we learn
to estimate NJ. Emile Faguet.
Lord Roberts is using his spare time
in the collection of material for another
volume of an photographed nature,
designed to be a companion to his ac-
count of his forty years in India. The
book, of course, will include the period
Of the South African war, and if ''BObs"
publishes in cold print some comments
on certain generals who figured in that
campaign, which cable dispatches say
he does not hesitate to express in pri-
vate, he will cause some sensation.
Prof. A. Lawrence Lowell's long
awaited work on England" is an
nounced for publication. 1t is predicted
by those who know Prof. Lowell and
his work best, that this book will prove
scarcely less important in its way than
Bryce's american Commonwealth" 1t
is a comprehensive<surve of the Eng
lish political system at the present time,
written from the point of view of a
highly trained student of affairs and
a notably intelligent and sympathetic
critic.
According to a reliable estimate, the
number of books published each year
throughout the world is at the present
time about 1000. Most of these go
into well merited oblivion. Some enjoy
a temporary popularity. A very linn
tied number are translated into several
languages and became part of the per-
manent heritage of humanity. From
the point of view of both writer and
reader few questions can be of greater
Importance than this: What is the
quality that makes a book vital, that
gives it world Importance? In the
largest sense, it may be answered that
the universal book is the book that
transcends all national boundaries and
appeals to universal emotions. But
these emotions vary in intensity from
age to age and from century to CEN
tury.-Current Literature.

MAKING SAILOR CLOTHES.
| Factory at Brooklyn Navy Yard Gets
ReuuisitionS from Pacific.

Factory at Brooklyn Navy Yard Gets
Regulations from Pacific.
The clothing factory at the Brooklyn
navy yard has just received large
acquisitions for jumpers, overshirts,
trousers and overcoats, to be delivered
before May 1 at the navy yards at
Mare Island and Bremerton on the Pa
cific coast, says the New Orleans Plea
yune. The local factory is the only
one operated by the navy department
for the navy proper. Another factory
is maintained in Philadelphia for the
marine corps. The navy yard factory
was founded in April, 1879, by R. W.
Thompson, then secretary Of the navy
department At present it is under
the superintendent of Paymaster Jew
EFT, the latter of whom is in charge Of
the department of provisions and cloth
ing
The factory employs number Of cut
tiers and inspectors, who work in build
ing No. 81, where the factory is main
tanned, and about $50 men and women
who work in shops outside Of the yard
or in their own homes. The trousers
and overcoats are made almost exclu-
sively by operatives who have shops of
their own, but the various kinds OF
jumpers and \overshirts are made by
women. These are usually the wives
and daughters of United States veter-
ans. All of them are amenable to the
State factory law and if they live in
tenement or apartment house must
have a State license 1t is a common
sight at the Sands street gate every
morning to see long lines of women
laden with large packages returning
work that has been assigned to them.
All such work done on the outside is
rigidly inspected by government off,
GERS, and if properly and neatly made
is passed. If for any reason gar
ment is rejected the government is en-
powered to charge the cost of the ma
terial against the operative. Women
are paid from 20 to % cents for MAX
ing jumpers, As cents apiece for over
shirts, 10 cents per collar for tapping
and 21a cents for embroidering a star
on the collar.
When the operative returns a fin
ished garment, another allotment of
material is made to her and she takes
it home and puts it together. This
material is cut and assembled ready to
be sewed together.

HUMAN ASHES IN THE SEA.

MidOcean Ceremony that Is No
Longer an Uncommon One.
According to a London cable dis
patch, published here recently, a won.
an passenger on the latest eastward
bound trip Of the Lucania scattered an
urn full of human ashes In midocean
and obtained certificate from the cap
tain to the effect that she had done so,
says the New York Herald.
Though no names were mentioned In
the story the woman was quoted as
having said the ashes were those OF a
prominent New York business man,
who had directed that his remains be
thus disposed of, and had specified the
Lucanla because it had been his favor
tie vessel.
When the cable dispatch was shown
to the manager of the United States
Cremation Company, he said:
without some clew to the name 1t
would be quite impossible for us to
identify the case referred to. Such
midocean ceremonies are by no means
so uncommon as they once were. It
is not at all unusual now for some man
or woman who has been a traveller to
request that such a disposition be made
of his or her mortal remains The idea
which appeals to them seems to be that
at the will Of ocean winds and currents,
on the billowy surface Of the element
they had loved best in life, they shall
continue their travels after death.
1--WE have a sealed tin canister which
we use for that purpose; it has consid-
cradle buoyancy and will remain afoat
for some time"
''Not infrequently," the manager con-
tinued, "it has been the wish Of the de-
cedent that his ashes be permitted to
sink to the bottom Of the sea. In that
case the canister is weighted. But, on
the other hand, the desire sometimes is
that the ashes be allowed to remain
afloat at the will Of the elements Not
long ago one Of these black tin CAMS
tiers, containing human ashes, was pick
ed up by a pilot somewhere off Sandy
Hook, and, thinking it might be of val
ne, he brought it to us, probably with
some idea of earning a reward.
"When we identified the canister by
means of it's number, however, and
communicated with the family of the
decedent, they were inclined to be in
dignant because the pilot had presumed
to interrupt It's wanderings"

Action OF North Grain Co. Causes
CONSERVATION Among Farmers.
CONSERVATION has been spread in Cy
Ion, Emerald, Glenwood and other towns
along the Wisconsin Central by orders
emanating from the headquarters of the
North Grain Company in Chicago, clos
ing all grain elevators owned and operat-
ed by the company. In many towns the
Northern Grain Company was the only
company represented, and the closing of
their elevators will mean considerable
hardship to the farmers who will be COM
PEELED to go to other towns to market
their grain unless the Northern Grain or
some other company reopens the elevators,
and the prospects for that are not encour-
aging. In many of the towns the local
managers of the company are endeavOr-
ing to arrange to reopen the houses on
their own hook The local unions of the
American Society of Equity are moving
to that end in some places.

Her Foe Is Doomed.

At last, after centuries Of suffering,
womankind is to be avenged! Science
has decreed that the mouse must go.
With it will vanish the only living
thing Of which the average woman is
afraid. Plenty of women have no fear
Of snakes, lots more are wholly indif-
ferent as to spiders, but the mouse
is the common enemy Of all women. OF
course, it isn't because he frightens
women that the mouse is doomed. Man
isn't gallant enough to go out of his
way to eXterminate the breed merely
on that account. But scientists have
discovered that the seemingly harmless
mouse is as much a menace as the
rat. In fact, if anything the smaller
rodent Is worse, for, being less feared,
he has q better chance to scatter
germs. But woman, though she is the
most fastidious of animals, will rejoice
at the departure Of the mouse less on
that account than because of her In
grained detestation of him. And it's
likely the society that has been formed
for the humiliation of the whole ro-
dent tribe will receive much assistance
from women the world over

Washburn Farmer StrenuOusIy OBJ
jected to New Highway Plans.
Amt Hanson was acquitted of the
charge of assault with intent to kill and
murder at the term of the Circuit Court
in Washburn. Hanson, it was claimed,
held up a party of about fifty citizens
from Washburn last fall as they were
going to Cornucopia over new road
that had been built by the county board.
Hanson thought that the road was built
on his property and it was for this rea-
son that he objected to travel over it.
Together with his son and another man he
guarded the road with shotguns and
rifles and when the party arrived at the
place they were ordered not to attempt to
travel over the road. After some SQUAD
bling the party of citizens proceeded on
their way and it is claimed that Hanson
opened fire into the crowd with a load of
fine shot. They claimed he reloaded and
again leveled the gun, telling the others
of his party to do the same.
