NdIlSu ny tne "dyoT.
Chicago, Feb. S.-Nice in all it's vari-
Colored aspects, and the social evil in
particular, in Chicago is to be placed
under the glare of the calcium light of
investigation in Il supreme effort to
curb 1t.
The action comes as climax to n
series of Crusades and Summing trips.
the first of which was led by Gypsy
Smith, the evangelist, and followed up
by w. c. T. u. and Y. w. G. A. organi-
cations and several UNCONVENTIONAL
churches. In the last month Mayor
Busse has been given a series of reso-
lutions calling attention to the con
dition of vice in the city, but these
have been of the indefinite sort
To bring about united efforts he
suggested mass meeting of all of the
ministers in the city to devise def
mite plan of action. This meeting was
held Monday, and resolutions were
adopted asking the appointment OF
commission to study vice conditions
generally in the city, with a view to
regulating the so-called bad lands"

II is the intention of the mayor to
name fifteen or twenty persons on the
board to be composed of business men,
sociologists, lawyers and ministers. 1t
is possible that no women will be in
Guided. 1t was pointed out to the
mayor that persons with their mind
already made up" were not desired on
the commission. They did not insist
that any clergymen be named.
The mayor asked the delegation to
select list of fifteen names for him
and to submit them next Monday. In
the meantime it is expected that the
mayor will ask the advice of others
as to the personality of such com
mission and will include selections
| from both lists.

lieved to have been found and carried
off by persons who worked in the
heavy storm of last Saturday night in

of what is believed to have been a
treasure chest, were discovered late
yesterday.
Although the cave is only few
hundred yards from the residence of
Judge Higbie no members of his fam

The uncovered cave, which was Wis
tied by hundreds yesterday and today
was bricked up with walls more than
two feet thick. The top is covered
with slabs of red sandstone of quail
ity unknown in this neighborhood
The bricks are similar to those
brought here from England in colonial
days.
So far as can be learned from the
examination made by Mayor John
Campbell, the cave is at least $50
years old. Traces left by the visitors
showed they uncovered what is sup,
posed to have been a chest about six
feet long and two feet wide. The
chest had been dragged to a wagon
whose wheel marks were plainly visi.
BILE, but trace Of the vehicle was lost
on the main road leading to Pleasant
Vile.
The cave lies in direct line with an
aged cedar tree and stump Of anoth
er tree, which are believed to have
been the marks by which the strang
ers found the spot.

Oldest residents Of the resort. believes

WHAT COLLEGE GIRLS READ.
lbsen, Shaw and Maeterlnek Have
Few Admirers at Wellesley.


Wellesley Mass, Feb. Some
Wellesley students, who question the
statements commonly heard that
every other college girl reads Maeter.
linck, Shaw and lbscn, and that most
of the others are so busy that they
never get chance to read. have taken
the pains TO interview 4jO Wellesley
undergraduates, and have issued a re-.
port.
The daily reading of the newspaper,
at least in "A superficial way, was found
to exist. Few girls admitted that they
read the editorials. OF the $50 girls
interviewed, $50 read the wecklies
with some thoroughness. Every girl
reads some monthly magazine, and
that mostly for the fiction, About 3
per cent of the students read some
religious magazine thoroughly.
AS to novel reading, one.lifth of the
450 still read Dickens, Scott, Thack.
cray and Jane Austen. About one half
OF them confessed to the reading of
the light, modern novel.
The much discussed MaeterlinCk,
lbsen and Shaw were found to be read
by only thirty.two out of the $50. Mer.
edith, Stevenson, Kipling and Mrs.
Wharton are much more popular.

OF all the fool propositions we
have received, the biggest was
from the "Tariff Reform Commit
tee, of New York." which kindly
offers to furnish as with reading
matter for publication exploiting
the committees views. While the
advance sheet was an attack on
the Republican party it was also
a %senseless gable about condi-
tons generally. If a single editor
is found who will swallow the rot
whole we would Ike to have him
captured and start a three ring
circus.
In its letter the committee says I:
"We r working for the remov-
al OF all protective tariff duties.

cost of hving.n

A Kansan at Panama

We thought we had a fair idea
Of the great work going on at
Panama, but after reading Editor
Hemenway's letter to his paper,
The Hope, Kas. Dispatch, we con-
cluded we had never grasped the
magnitude OF the thing. Here are
a few statement from his letter:
"The Gatun dam is to be about
two miles long and half a mile
wide at the base. 1t is to be ITO
feet high and 800 feet wide at the
top. The dam is being built Of
of rock on the sides, the center be
ing filled by hydraulic process, the
silt and settings from the water
being pumped in, forming a mass
almost like solid rock"
There are about $4,000 men at
work but no confusion, and every
man seemed to be earning his mon
ey. "There were 140 odd steam
shovels at work, and each shovel
is capable OF loading a train of IS
cars every As minutes. We forget
how many trains were in use, but
we believe it was between six and
seven hundred. There were ia big
well drills drilling for blasts, and
very many electric drills, all help
ing to break up the rock so the
big steam shovels could handle it
at is said a mile of new track
is laid every day, and a mile torn
up to accommodate the trains,
steam shovels and other work.
There are nearly a thousand miles
of tracks"
In speaking of the acres Of old
French machinery, now worthless,
much of which has never been us
ed (but much of the machinery was
good and is being used) Mr.. Hem
enway says the worst fault with
the French machinery "a its size.
1t seems like miniature machinery
besides what is now being used.
at is said that one man with the
present equipments, can do as
much work in a day al 5000 men
could a few years ago, which is
one eason the work is progress
