THOSE ADVENTURES OF
 GUIllVER.

You remember Gulliver's adventures First he is shipwrecked in a country of little men, and he is a Colossus among them. He strides over the walls of their capital: he stands higher than the cupola of their little temple; he tugs after him a royal fleet; he stretches his legs, and a royal army with drums beating and colors flying, marches through the gigantic arch; he devours a whole granary for breakfast, and eats a herd of cattle for dinner, and washes down his meal with all the hogsheads of a cellar.
 In his next voyage he is among men sixty feet high. He who in Lilliput used to take people up in his hands in order that he might be able to hear them, is himself taken up in the hands and held to the ears of his masters. It is all that he can do to defend himself against the rats and mice. The court ladies amuse themselves with seeing him fight wasps and frogs; the monkey runs off with him to the chimney top; the dwarf drops him into the cream jug and leaves him to swim for his life. Now, was Gulliver a tall or a short man? Why, in his own house at Roth erhithe. he was though a man of the ordinary stature. Take him to Lilliput, and he is Quinbus Flestrin, the Main Mountain. Take him to Brobdingnag, and he is Grildig. the little ManiSin. It is the same in science. The pigmies of one society would have passed for giants in another-Thomas Babington Macaulay.

died from eating the wrong kind of mushrooms.
 Caligula owes his niche in the hall of fame to the drunken banquets with which he made even Rome marvel. The excesses made fashionable by such po- tentates as Lucullus, Nero, Verres, IT. berius, Caligula, Vitellius and DOmitian really began in the days of Pompey, and they mark the beginning of the end of the republic.
 At the feasts of these rulers the am phorae-enormous vases, some with a capacity of many barrels-were filled with wine, which was dipped up by youthful servants and handed to the guests. while young girls sang and danced.
 Of the many feasts given by Vitellius, not one cost less than s1,500, and his reign was almost a continuous de- Dauch. COmmodus was a notorius drunkard, and Septimus was not much better. Several died of overindulgence in the flowing bowl.
 It was famous sport to see a guest drink a sup of wine for every letter in the name of his mistress.

It was thirty-four years ago today that the forces of Marshal Bazaine were withdrawn from Mexico, leaving MaXimillian besieged at Queretaro, shortly to surrender to Juarez and suffer execution with his generals, Miramon and Mejia. Almost to a day the face of political affairs in Mexico is undergoing as sweeping a change as that which displaced an empire with a republic.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, MAY 15, 1911
The Dog Biscuit Industry.

The Dog Biscuit Industry.
 It is possible to extract fun, ever from so serious a business as tn, farmers free list, if the right kinC of an extractor goes about it. Fol May l, many speeches in the house O. representatives on the farmers bil had been scheduled, among them on, by the Hon. Martin B. Madden oi Chicago.
 Wearied by the previous debate or this gloomy subject, all but eight oi the members absented themselves from the chamber, and those eight according to the. authorities, were in varying degrees of somnolence, from which they were doubtless stirred by the opening remarks of the gentle man from Illinois:
 MT. Chairman: The interest mani- fest in this debate is truly marvellous With all the seats filled and every gentleman listening attentively, l fully believe that when the time comes to vote upon the bill every member of the house will be able to vote intelligently, assuming, of course, that the discussion upon the bill is along lines that are calculated to enlighten the membership of the house on the merits of the question. It is encouraging to realize that an opportunity is given to me to present the case from my standpoint under such favorable auspices. l am in Spired with the enthusiasm and at tentiOn of the audience (applause) and I have no doubt that because of the interest manifested I will be able to tell those gentlemen who are pres ent something which they will be glad to take home with them and think about (Applause.)
 We have not the kindliest feeling for Mir. Madden, when we remember him as a pleasant gentleman, a member of a congressional party which visited Phoenix some years ago and warmly promised to oppose the then impend- ing scheme of joint statehood. The name of MT. Madden, however, was not afterward enrolled in that immor- tai list of original insurgents, who stood against jointure, nOtwithstand- ding the severe pressure of the presi- dent and Speaker Cannon. However, let bygones be bygones.
 We must confess that the remarks of MT. Madden on the free list bill have shed light upon that measure, which would not have been otherwise so illumined; but for him We would never have learned that H. R. 4413, implements, cotton bagging, cotton ties, leather, boots and shoes, fence wire meats, cereals, flour, timber, lumber, sewing machines, salt. and other articles" contains an insidious design against the dog biscuit indus try of this country, though where that design is concealed is not made plain in a letter to MT. Madden from  manufacturer of those canine delica- cies.
 But that it exists is enough. for it is a struggling industry and must necessarily be such and in need of protection until the canine taste is educated up to the dog biscuit.
 But in the present state of an un- cultivated taste in this respect, an overwhelming majority of the dogs of America would, if they could, and perhaps do, if their remarks could be interpreted, raise their voices in favor of the farmers free list or any other measure which would wipe out the dog biscuit factories.

the preparatory school of Georgetown
University, who was drowned yester-
day while canoeing in Little river, near
Auueduct bridge, will be held Thursday

ial will be made in the cemetery in the
university grounds.
The drowning occurred shortly before
7 O'Clock last evening, and after drag
ring the river for seven hours, police of
the Harbor precinct recovered the body
with graphing irons at 100 o'clock this
morning. The body was taken to the
Georgetown Univeitty Hospital in a
police ambulance.
Canoe Overturned.
In company with Warrick and Out
erbridge Montgomery. fourteen and
fifteen years old, respectively, stu
dents at the school, Mr.. Goldbach
started out in a canoe from a boat
house in Georgetown late yesterday
afternoon. Padding directly across
the river. they entered Little river.
narrow strip of water on the south
ride of Analostan Island. AS they
entered Little river. Warwick mont
gomery dropped an orange in the
water AS he reached out to get the
orange the canoe was overturned,
throwing the trio in the water.
The boys grabbed the ends of the
canoe as they came to the surface
and called to Mr.. Goldbach to grab
the boat also. When the priest took
hold of the canoe the added weight
caused il to sink beneath the surface,
and Mr.. Goldbach, realizing that all
would be drowned If he held on, let
go and started to swim TO shore.
\ heavy oVerCoat which he wore made
it difficult for the priest to keep his
head above the water, and he soon dis
appeared beneath the surface. Cries for
help had attracted the attention of
George Spencer, a colored boRtman, at
the foot of Thirty-fifth street, who I'M
mediately put out in rowboat. The
boys were almost exhausted when
Spencer reached them, but were still
holding on to the canoe. No trace
could be found of Mr.. Goldbach, who
had gone under five minutes before.
Two Boys Recovering.
The Montgomery boys were taken to
the university hospital in an automo-
bile belonging to George Weaver, where
they are still under the care of a ply
sician today. Although suffering from
shock and exposure in the cold water,
their condition is not serious. Their
father, W. E. Montgomery, a retired
lawyer, lives at 1743 Rhode Island ave-
hue northwest.
Mr.. GOldbaCh was twenty-eight years
old, and had been a teacher at the
university preparatory school since Aug
rst, l9U7 He was educated at Loyola
College, Baltimore. He entered the
Jesuit novitiate at Woodstock.
The young scholastic was popular
among the students at the school and
was regarded by the faculty as one Of
the brightest of the younger educators.
He took an active interest in outdoor
sports, and was especially fond of boat
ing and swimming. He was considered
a good swimmer, but the fact that he
had on a heavy overcoat made it i'm
possible for him to keep his head above
the surface when the garment became
soaked with water

UNION PASSES ON
BAKERS SCHEDULE,
CARPENTERS PACT.
Arguments in Favor of Girls
in Bureau of Engraving
and Printing.

Discussions of the differences between
the United Brotherhood and the Anal
gamated Carpenters, consideration OF
the new schedule of the bakers, and at
tention to the agitation in favor of the
girls of the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing occupied the Central Labor
Union during its three-hour session last
uight.
The new working schedule of hours
and wages adopted by the bakers was
indorsed by the Central Labor body
last night. This new working card, ac-
cording to announcement, gives the men
Of the trade slightly higher wages and
shorted hours.
A special committee was appointed to
investigate thoroughly and report on
the disagreement between the two car
penters' organizations, the Brotherhood
and the Amalgamated. The controversy
arises over whether the agreement un-
der which the Brotherhood Is working
with the master carpenters shall re-
ceive Endorsement and general adoption
or the schedule that the Amalgamated
organization favors. The special COM
mittee is composed of Milton Smelling
John Lorch, P. J. Ryan, John Wolf, ant
James Considine.
Upon the outcome of a conference
tomorrow night between the gir
members of Federal Labor UnioI
1916, made up of the women who
work at the Bureau of Printing and
Engraving, and the members of the
special committee of the Central La
Dor Union will rest the nature of the
plans which will be adopted by the
girls to obtain increased pay at the
bureau.
At the meeting of the Central Labor
Union last night in Typographical
Temple the matter was brought be-
fore them, and IL was decided that
the committee of which Emmett l.
Adams is chairman would confer with
the girls.
The discussion between the women
and Director Ralph Of the bureau has
been one of several months stand
ing, and 1t is thought that a definite
plan of procedure will be agreed upon
tomorrow night when the Joint meet
ing is held in Typographical Temple.

TICKET FIGHT
in ABEYANCE
No Action Now Until NOvem-
Der Term Of County
Court
SlOO PENALTY CLAUSE
WORKS AGAINST COMPANY

AS Superior Court has adjourned
until the November term, no action
can be taken, by the Wilmington and
Philadelphia Traction Company to-
ward getting a stay of the Public
Utility Boards order to restore strip
tickets until that term.
The Traction Company has been
waiting for the court to lay down
rules of procedure for an appeal from
the Utility Boards offer, but the court
adjourned without promulgating any
such rules. Some lawyers would not
be surprised if the court did not make
such rules, inasmuch as the law Great
ing the Public Utility Board provides
for an appeal in Superior Court
Meanwhile a penalty of $lOO day
is accommodating against the Traction
Company each day it does not restore
the quarter tickets TO sale
The Public Utility Commission will
meet on Friday afternoon, and then
NAV make formal demand upon the
Traction Company for the penalty
money. Then If the company should
refuse to pay, which refusal is ex'
pected, the city, through City Solicitor
Hastings, could sue to recover th'
penalty. This would bring the con
troversy to an issue in Superior Cour
and would put the Traction Company
on the defensive.
