Late returns from the First Congress
sional district indicate that the MAORI
ty of Congressman Cooper will be some
thing over 5000 instead of 1900 as

the leaders of the party cornered the
Italian vote, which numbers more than
one thousand and thus swept the ceun-
ty .--Racine Journal.

Durability Of Glass.

1t does not seem odd to find inscrip-
tons written ages ago still visible on
the Tower Of London or on the steeple
of some cathedral, but one would hard
ly look on n fragile pane of glass in a
common window for characters 200
years old. A notable case in point is
that of the old house in London where
in the notorious Jack Sheppard once
lived as carpenters apprentice. One
of the window panes still bears an in
scription cut in 1t by glaciers dia-
mond recording the name and address
of man who preceded Jacks master
in that house.
The inscription is. John Woolley
