"Late Again."

The late Lord Kelvin was singular

absorbed over the repast in some
scientific abstraction. In his own din

his appearance with Late again, Sir

Painters On Strike.

Winona, Mimi, April II. The
painters and papsrhangers of this city
have gone on a strike. They SUBJ
mitted contract to the bosses some
time ago, but the bosses refused to
sign it. There is no dispute on wages
or hours, but the employees stick for
the clause which states that no
painter or paperhanger may work A.
ter O'Clock in the evening. If he
does this he Is subject to a fine. The
bosses hold that frequently to leave
a job unfinished results in serious
damage.

What Becomes Of Them.

Philosophers arise upon all sides
pessimists, eleatics, stoics, pythagor-
cans, epicureans, positivists, empiric
lists and intuitionists. They arise and
flap their shimmering wings and they
fade into inert innocuousness. The
tidal wave of time clammy, cruel and
inevitable-surge DER their forgotten
biers. Their souls are absorbed in
the thin ether of the illimitable cos
mos. They speak their little pieces,
dodge the ever-hurtling egg, and then
shut up forever. Alas!

Boston, Mass, April 18.-An sppsr-
emily insignificant fire which started
among rags on 6ump In the city OF
Chelsea yesterday was famed by q
northwest gale into conhagration,
which obliterated nearly one-third OF
the city.
Five hundred dwelling houses and
public buildings were destroyed, If
teen hundred families were driven
from their habitations and 10, 900 peo-
pie made homeless almost without
warning.
Three lives are known to have been
lost, and late last night it was re-
ported that two other persons had
persisted, one a woman, having shot
herself in a frenzy over her inability
to save her property. From fifty to
one hundred were injured.
Accurate estimate of the loss is i'm
possible. The city solicitor estimates
it at nearly $1O,O00,OOO. The insur-
ance is estimated at SIS, 900, 900.
The fire, which was the worst

years, ragged before a forty fve-mile
gale for more than twelve hours,
defying the utmost efforts of the COM
bined fire departm ents of Chelsea and
several nearby cities and large de-
tachments of Boston firemen and
apparatus.
The fire area, which was in the
form of an eclipse, mile and half
long and half mile wide at its broad
est part, extended diagonally across
the city from point near the bound
airy between Everett and Chelsea to
the waters of Chelsea creek,
All the banks, more than three
quarters of the churches, halt of the
business blocks and nearly all the
schoolhouses were wiped out. One
hospital and a day nursery were de-
stroyed. In the turmoil many of the
sick and intirm found difficulty in OBJ
tanning assistance and several of them
had narrow escapes.
It was useless for the firemen to at
tempt to check the onrushing flames
before the gale, and their main efforts
were to prevent a spread of the fire
on either side.

There is at least one good reason
why Hartman Is for Taft. He doesn't

campaign In 1904. ILL.,. -=
Roosevelt has evidently been read

plan the Roman emperor dictated his
successor and his choice was, ratified
by the army. Perhaps the American
voters will elect their own president
this year. )
Taft's position, as he explained it at
Evansville, Indiana, Thursday, Is that
employers have a property right" in
the election of the presidential can
didate they prefer, and therefore have
a right to threaten employees with re-
auctions in wages If they vote for any
other candidate. Thus, according to
Taft, the ballot of the employee is the
property of the employer. That de-

America the Mecca of the On.

Earth.

Hungry, oppressed, exploited, de-

word government means oppression
the immigrant is coming to America
at the rate Of a million a year, look;
ing upon our country as the land OF
promise. Like great wave they are
coming, threatening to flood our east

the west, and splashing the spray
everywhere.
Restriction Of immigration.
Even though immigration should at
this time be absolutely restricted, the
present generation of Americans will
have all it can do to adequately meet
the needs of those who are already
here. But they will continue to come.
Every law which affects human life
physical, social, political, sconomtc-
seems to have conspired to make
America the mecca Of the oppressed
races Of the earth. Settling princi-
pally in our cities, they form their
"Ghettos," their Little Italys," their
bohemian Hills" often retaining
their old country IDEAS and customs.
The Foreign Element.
But what kind Of folks are they
these foreigners? Some call them
''the scum of the earth," "the~ Off
securing of Europe" "the criminal re-
fuse of the old world,' "reeking with
disease and Immortality" At the re-

Seventy per cent Of these Iepositors
are foreign born! Doesn't look much
like pauper class does it?,
Our New Arrivals.
The cry is being raised that we are
now getting the very worst element
from Southern Europe. But our i'm
migration officials declare that they
are just as good as any class that
ever came to America. Those wh<
have been in this country for even {
comparatively short period, usually
look with contempt upon those wht
follow them. The Pilgrim Fathers de-
spsed the "riff-raff' which came her,
shortly after they landed. These IL

And that is the least that they de
