Will Practice Economy.
The legislature is sincere in its eff
fort to cut down the fixed expenses Of
the body. There will be fewer JAM
tors, committee clerks and messen-
gers, and no junkets. This will mean
a great saving to the state. Jobseek-
ers still believe that some of the men,
bers will weaken on this proposition
and will pass a resolution to increase
the number OF employees. Speaker
Baker will be obdurate, however. and
is strong enough to head off such a
move. Bakers intention TO have few
er women clerks around the legislative
halls meets with universal approval,
except from those members who want
to place some special lady friend on
the legislative pay roll

The elimination of women clerks
from the house has caused a wall OF
horror and some harsh comments from
the clerks employed in the state IL
brary. After every session it has been
the custom to provide places for the
women employed in the legislature IN
the state library. When the next ses.
sion convened there was rush from
library to the legislature for salaries

Baker put an end to this practice.

A number of militia officers have
been in the city lately in the inter.
ests of several brigadier generals who
are in danger of being deprived of
their gold braid and brass buttons by
Governor Osborn. The governor in
tends to place the militia of Michigan
on the same footing as the regular
army. The Michigan brigade is to be
commanded by brigadier general who
has staff to look after the details
and the administrative management
Of the troops. This change will do
away with three brigadier generals
and q number of colonies.

Ibyszks entered the arena.
~Crouching low. the huge Pole came
20 the centre of the ring. Immediately
Hack went after a neck hold. For
seven minutes neither succeeded in pro-
curing a hold. but at last the Russian
Lion grabbed Zbyszko by the arm and
threw him to the floor. In an instant
they were up, Hack being in turn
thrown to the mat.
After ten minutes OF struggling Hack
took a half-nelson hold. but the Pole
broke away through main strength.
Zbyszko Immediately began butting.
Hack drew back and II was noticed that
his eft eye was entirely closed. Clos
Ing In again, Hack took a body hold
and Topped his man to the floor.
Zbyszko held the Russians head in
chancery under his right arm, and 1t
was some time before Hack could shake
loose.
For several minutes Hack worked
away. trying several different holds
but his opponent easily broke every one
Of them. Then Zbyszko took his turn.
but Hack got away from him without
the least OF trouble.
Half an hour passed and both men
were on their feet. The big fellow
lost his temper and again butted Hack.
For his pains he was lifted over Hacks
head and hurled 10 the floor. There he
amused the 5000 spectators by his many
futile attempts at procuring toeholds.
Failing in this he switched to Hacks
neck, but tho Russians defense proved
entirely too mystifying.
With twenty minues 10 go, Hacken
schmidt made n determined try for a
fall. His head was soon again In chan
Gerry. where 1t stayed for several min
utes before he got free. From then
on Zbyszko worked like a mailman

back.
