HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Harry McGraw and Marie Morstad
Editors.

The Wabeno High School football
team will play the Laona High School
football team at Laona Saturday, Oct.
IA. A fast and interesting game is ex-
pected. This fool ball game will be the
first ever witnessed in Laona and both
teams will do their best toward winning
the first game they play. The team
will be accompaniedb a large crowd OF
rooters and football fans. The pupils
have been learning and practicing yells
under their renowned yellmaster, Ralph
Kennedy.
The High School pupils were very
glad to see the soldierly form of Master
Willie Du Brucq circulating around the
High School rooms Tuesday afternoon.
The day being dark and dreary, it was
not noticed because Willie's bright cOun-
tenance took the place of the sun.
Last weeks program was a complete
success from beginning to end. The
president gave a short modest speech
which convinced us all the more that
we had made good choice in selecting
him.
The vice-president, although little
bashful at first, made good and re-
ceived two full rounds of hearty ap-
plause.
Our secretary and treasurer occupied
her position at the right hand side of
the president and it is needless to say
added much to the looks Of the stage
and the freshmen surely ought to feel
grateful to her for the pretty compile
ment she paid them.
The sargeant at arms saved the day
for the freshies and very cleverly ans
wered a remark made about himself by
the secretary.
The society song was not as success
full as it might have been, due to the
fact that our leader had never seen it
before, but considering the fact it all
went very well.
The speakers of the different classes
felt that the honol of their class lay
upon them and did their best to make
their class outshine all the rest and they
all succeeded.

No Salary for Vice President.

Thomas added that Bice President
Atkins, although taking a very active
interest in the affairs of the com
pany, receives no salary. He ex.
planned this by saying that Mr.. Atkins

Among the reforms to be instituted

Mr. Madison, who took a hand in
the questioning, said he believed the
common stock of the National Sugar
Refining Company in the New Jersey
suit would be invalidated, "as the
issuing of that stock was a terrible
steal" and that this would give the
American company control, thus in.
creasing it's output to nearly 60 per
cent of the country's product.
This, with the Americans large in.

of the Board of Directors for the
meeting of August 26, 1891, a passage
saying that the president reports
that because of the decreased con
sumption of refined sugars it might
be necessary to reduce the output So
as to maintain the price" Baker
asked Thomas if the company had
ever changed that policy. Thomas
said he never knew that that had
been the policy of the company and
would not answer the question other.

Raker also read from the minutes
of the company in August, 1892, a
mysterious entry saying that "the

ended with cryptogram.

WOMEN LIVE LONGEST.

Women are called the weaker sex;
but the fact is that when tested by
the length of their life and by their
power to endure suffering and to re.
sist disease they are, according to a
writer in the Medical Record, phys
ically superior to men.
An English statistician has calcu.
lated that of two children, a boy and
a girl, born on the same day, the boy
will have only seventeen chances
against eleven of living one year, while
the girl will have twenty-one chances
against eleven. From five to fifteen
there appears to be but little differ
ence, but from fifteen to nineteen the
boy will have 269 chances and the
girl 277 chances of living against one
of death.
This advantage in favor of the fe,
male increases, especially from
thirty-five to seventy-five, when the
ratio drops slightly till after eighty,
when the man will have only three
chances of life against one of death,
while the woman chances will be
much greater
The report of the United States Cen
sus Bureau on the vital statistics OF
this country for the year 1890 shows
that for every five year period from
birth up to seventy years of age the
death rate is much greater among
males than among females. From
seventy to eighty the death rate is
about equal between the sexes, but
from eighty to ninety there are about
five women living to four men; from
ninety to one hundred there are two
women to one man, and after one
hundred the proportion of women is
still much greater,

factor, but it can hardly be the only

RATHER FREAKISH,

Mayor Gaynor, at dinner in Brook

service that a German visitor from
Berlin had recommended.

OVER FORTY MILLION DOLLARS
WATER" IN SUGAR TRUST STOCK

NEW YORK, July 19,-Althougn
the minutes of the meetings of the
board of directors of the American
Sugar Refining Company show that
Washington B. Thomas, the present
chairman of the board, was elected
a member of a special committee with
H. O.. Havemeyer and Senff to ac-
quire sugar refineries, Thomas today
told the special Congressional com
mittee investigating the so-called
sugar trust" that he knew nothing
about it until he read of it in the
government report at Washington q
few days ago.
Didn't Mr.. Havemeyer notify yoI
that you were member of the conf
mittee to purchase Independent beet
sugar interests throughout the coun-
try?" Chairman Hardwick asked him.

chase of such interests

"But the records show that You,

matters alone and never consulted

Thomas told of his financial inter.
est in the American Sugar Refining
Company. His stock, he said
amounted to about 5000 shares, with
a book value of about $375,OOO, and
the holdings of the members of his
family, including his own, are be.
tween $4,000 and 10000 shares, with
a value of between $1,OOO,OOO and
$4,000, 900.
Havemeyer when he died had only
about 1875 shares of stock, but for
many years had thoroughly domin-
ated the company, the witness said

WATER FRONT ROOF GARDENS

WATER FRONT ROOF GARDENS.
The growth of many cities in the
United States has been so rapid that
proper provision has not been made
for adequate public parks and breath
ing places for the people. Recent agi-
tation for more parks and play
grounds, and for the general santa
ton and hygiene of cities, has re-
suited in the making of parks at enor-
nous expense in the midst of thickly
populated districts. In New York
city the necessity for further parks
and also for greater dockage facili-
ties in the harbor has eliminated in
scheme for the creation of a park
in the air, so to speak. At the pres.
ent time nearly the whole of the
west side of Manhattan island is oc.
cupied by the New York Central
Railroad tracks, and a plan has been
devised whereby a space 200 feet
wide and several miles long will be
converted into additional space for
railroads and docks by filling in along
the water front. 1t is proposed TO
cover over this entire space by heavy
steel and concrete roofing and then
to fill in this roof with soil and make
a waterfront park. Most cities hav-
ing water fronts have allowed these
naturally advantageous locations for
parks to be absorbed by railroads or
other industrial enterprises. Chicago,
with its wonderful water front on
Lake Michigan, has allowed this TO
happen, to a certain extent. The
plan of New York, though an eXpen-
sive one, seems to be entirely feas-
ible; at least, it has been so pro-
nounced by engineers. Certainly It
would form a most attractive addi-
ton to the park system of that city

sons for believing that nothing short
of constitutional difference can ac-

in women. Woman is a physiological
miser-she accumulates energy with,

persons who were good churchmen to
change the exhortation. After dis
cussion, the alteration was agreed to-.
There was also a keen debate on
the proposal to modify that part of
the marriage exhortation which de-
scribes the first cause for which mar
riage was ordained. The committee
recommended that the clause should
begin, lit was ordained for the in
crease of mankind"
The next proposal was to omit en-
tirely the paragraph indicating second
cause of matrimony and beginning
secondly, it was ordained for a rem
edy against sim" Prebendary Penne-
father moved as an amendment that
the words, Secondly, it was ordained
for remedy against sin" be retained.
The Archdeacon of Berkshire second
ed the motion and said he would ask
Canon Henson to warn people who
were married in fashionable churches,
like st. Margaret's, to be careful
about the novels which they allowed
their daughters to read. That, he
said, was the real danger of the time.
Cultivated people who considered the
words in the marriage service coarse,
he added, were the ones who left in
their drawingrooms books containing
language which had an immoral infiu-
ence. The amendment was defeated
and the committees recommendation
was carried.

Anglican Church Reforms
The Marriage Service

LONDON, July 15.-It has long been
suggested that the form of marriage
service employed by the Church OF
England is unsuitable to present-day
conventionalities of speech, and action
was taken at a meeting held at the
church house in Westminster, Friday
The alteration proposed is in the fol
lowing clause of exhortation in the
marriage service:
and therefore marriage is not by
any to be enterprised nor taken in
hand unadvisedly, lightly or wantonly
to satisfy mems carnal lusts and APP
petites like brute beasts that have nc
understanding, but reverently, dis
creetly, advisedly, soberly and in the
fear of God"
1t is suggested that the clause
should read: 'Is not by any to be
taken in hand unadvisedly, lightly OF
wantonly, but reverently, discreetly
advisedly, soberly, and in the fear O
God"
There is a great deal too muct
prudery about the twentieth century,
said Canon Rhodes Bristow, in oppos
ing the proposed alteration. Canon
Henson, supporting the proposal, sale
prudery was bad thing, but coarse
ness was bad, and the sixteenth cen
fury, from which this particular ex
hortation came, was a coarse age. Al
his own church, st. Margarets, West
minister, he was frequently asked by

Thomas said the $9OOOO,OOO stock
of the company was represented by
real property with a book value of
$l35 for every 100 shares of stock.
Chairman Hardwick said he would
not accept the company's book value
as correct.
Anybody can figure book value,
he said. What l want is actual value
by unprecedented experts, and it was
estimated that the committee would
endeavor to arrive at such a valua,
ton by the employment of experts
to appraise the value of the prop
erty.
Moisture in Sugar Stock.
In reply to Representative Madison,
Thomas went into the formation If
the original trust.
"The refners composing the first
company were capitalized at $6,5Ol,-
600 and were given $5O,OOO,OOO of
sugar trust stock for their properties,
were they not?'
81 believe So"
That's whole lot of moisture,
was it not "
81 guess So"
do you not know that much of
the stock is now water?"
Thomas admitted that this might
be true.
"In the reforms you inaugurated
about the time of Mr.. Havemeyer's
death, did you reduce salaries?"
81 did in my case"
"What are you getting?"
twenty-five thousand a year"
what was Mr.. Havemeyer get
ting?"
zone hundred thousand"
"Was not John r. Parsons, as coun-
sell paid 100000 for his services in

cries."

Edward E. Rose, the author Of the
play, has taken an average set of
people, and shows you first their out
side, then deftly, subtly, with care
full strokes and a firm hand, he takes
you within the brains and mind of
each character. You even see the
result of their thinking. It is like
seeing first the results Of electricity
- street cars running, telephone
working,-all the wonderful effects
of this mighty force-and then being
taken to the central power house
from whence all this energy flows.
And you see the effect Of thought
upon the different individuals. One
character is that of modern bust
mes man, stock broker happily mar
ried to wife who loves him; but his
thought is wrong. He harbors fear
doubt and unbelief in the good that
lies all about him. He loses all-for-
tune home, wife-even his own self
respect.
How does it all end? All, that is
too long for me to tell you, but this
may say, that he is brought to g
knowledge Of the supreme law Of lift
by priest, a modern priest, not Of
conventional stage character, but {
real man, big man Of faith, strength
and conviction, whose eyes see clear
ly and whose spiritual power is tn,

This beautiful play had a thre,
months run in Chicago and tw,
months run in New York City, an,
three months in Boston where
