They have closed them nights.
To- Justice Clark Rogers, a lifelong

he jocularly remarked that 1t would
be a great thing for all liquor drink

suggestion circulated through the vii

Jail.
Sterling, Ill.-Judge Irwin Beeman,
one of the police magistrates of this
city. tined his wife $25 for contempt
of court and ordered the bailiff to
lock her up if the fine was not paid
within one hour. Mrs. Beeman paid.
The judge was holding hourt. Mrs.
Beeman entered the courtroom and
seated herself near the bar to wait
for the judge. who had promised to
go with her on shopping expedition.
William Lawton, young man of
prepossessing appearance, was before
the bar charged with disorderly con-
duct. After hurrying through the
evidence the judge fined him $40 and
costs Lawton, having no ready cash,
was ordered locked up.
That's an outraged" declared Mrs.
Beeman, incoluntarily
''Silence!' thundered the court.
Mrs. Beeman, however, refused to
be silent.
Judge Beeman was exasperated.
Furiously rapping for order he told
Mrs. Beeman to keep quiet under
threats of contempt fine. With a
woman's liking for the last word she
continued her argument with her hus-
band until the courtroom was almost
in an uproar
In desperation the judge imposed a
fine of S25 for contempt. Mrs. Bee
man dared him to collect it. Anger
ed, the judge instructed Bailiff New
ton to take Mrs. Beeman in charge
and to lock her up if the fine was
not paid within one hour. Mrs. Bee
man was led from the court sobbing
Historically. She finally drew on her
private bank account for the amount
of the fine and was released from
the custody of the bailiff.
Later Judge Beeman stated that
he had imposed the fine feeling that
this was the only thing he could do
if the dignity OF his court was to be
maintained. Mrs Beeman is peni-
tent and has promised not to inter-
in her husbands legal affairs again

PAVING MATERIAL
SELECTED BY COUNCIL
BITULTHIC FOR EAST WEBB,
MACADAM, WEST AND COURT
Some Opposition to This Plan Arises
and Aldermanic Body Awaits Pos
sible Objections of owners of
Property.

Resolutions ordering the improve
ment of East Webb street with btu
lithic and West Webb street and East
Court street with macadam We're pass
ed by the city council last night in
spite Of warnings of remonstrances
taking form among property owners
along the latter two, the council
taking the attitude that the only
proper way to determine the amount
of opposition is to order the improve
ment and await results.
By the resolutions, it is proposed
to hard surface East Webb street
from the east line of Cottonwood
street to the south line of Court, to
macadamize West Webb street from
its intersection with the O.-W. r. &
N. tracks to Tutuilla street and East
Court street from Byers Mill race to
the eastern city limits.
The resolution ordering the i'm
povement of East Court was opposed
by Councilman Dyer on the grounds
that no provision is being made for
the drainage of the water which flows
down from the hillside into the street
and for the further reason that with
only a strip 24-feet wide macadam-
iZed without a curb, the, traffic
would have a tendency to cut the ma
cadam away on the edges.
City engineer Kimbrell declared
the plans provide for the running OF
the water into the millrace and MEM
bers of the council as well as the
mayor expressed themselves as believ-
ing the proposed street would not be
damaged by any lack of drainage and
declared themselves in favor of the
improvement because of the bad con-
dition of the street, which is one of
the main travelled thoroughfares.
Engineer Lonergan of the Warren
Construction company, proposed as
substitute last night ten foot hard
surface strip down the center of the
street with the remainder macadam-
lied but the general sentiment SEEM
ed to be that such an improvement
would be too expensive for the prop
erty owners.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. CATHERINE OF slENA.

Catherine, the daughter of a hum
Bile tradesman, was raised up to be
the guide and guardian of the Church
in one of the darkest periods of it's
history, the fourteenth century. AS
child, prayer was her delight. She
would say the Hail Mary on each
step as she mounted the stairs, and
was granted in reward a vision of
Christ in glory. When but seven years
old, she made VOW of virginity, and
afterwards endured bitter persecu-
ton for refusing to marry. Our Lord
gave her His Heart in exchange for
her own, communicated her with His
own hands and stamped on her body
the print of His wounds. At the age
of fifteen she entered the Third Order
of st. Dominic, but continued to re-
side in her fathers shop, where she
united life of active charity with
the prayer of a cOntemplative Saint.
From this obscure home the seraphic
virgin was summoned to defend the
Church's cause. Armed with Papal
authority, and accompanied by three
confessors, she travelled through
Italy, reducing rebellious cities to the
obedience of the Holy See, and win
ming hardened souls to God. In the
face wellnigh of the whole world she
sought out Gregory XII. at Avignon,
brought him back to Rome, and by
her letters to the kings and queens
of Europe made good the Papal cause.
She was the counsellor of Urban VI,
and sternly rebuked the disloyal car
dinals who had part in electing an
Anti-pope. She died at Rome at the
age of thirty-three, A. D., 1880. Long
had the holy virgin foretold the terri
BILE schism which began ere she died.
Day and night she wept and prayed
for unity and peace. But the devil
excited the Roman people against the
Pope, so that some sought the life OF
Christ's Vicar. With intense earnest.
ness did st. Catherine beg our Lord
to prevent this enormous crime. In
spirit she saw the whole city full OF
demons tempting the people to resist
and even slay the Pope. The sedi
tious temper was subdued by Gather
ines prayers; but the devils vented
their malice by scourging the Saint
herself, who gladly endured all fol
God and His Church.

Yesterdays Rose Bud.

1t began to dawn on Lady Flora
Treherne that she was getting older,
and that the youngest daughter can
not forever remain young. Her elder
sisters were already married and had
children growing up about them,
while she remained unwed, for she
was the most beautiful of all the Earls
daughters and was we'll aware of the
fact. Now on the eve of her twenty.
seventh birthday she became aware
that there was something wanting in
her life, which one or two of those
whom she had spurned in the days OF
her wanton youth might have sup
piled.
She looked in her mirror some
what anxiously, for her father was a
poor man and in a sense her face was
still her principal fortune. She saw
change, but no lessening of beauty.
The delicate bloom and the willowy
form of her girlhood had been sue,
ceeded by a fuller and more matured
loneliness. But Lady Flora did not
seem altogether satisfied with her
scrutiny.

Socialism.
IL this were the meaning and intent
Of that heterogeneous and many-sided
combination of plannings and activi-
ties calling itself socialism, welcome
1t should be, welcome it would be.
Forward, we should say, and say we
would, in aspiration and design-for-
ward, provided always the one re-
striction be observed, that social order
be maintained in safety, that rights
to property won by talent and toll, Sc
cured by the just laws of the social
organism, be held in honor and rev.
erence.
But what not unusually are the
theories and the methods of socialism?
Here it is the absolute denial of the
right to private property: property"
we are told sis theft" There such inn
pediments are set to private property,
such control and limitation, that few
or none will toll to acquire it, few or
none will be able to retain it. If re-
ward of toll is allowed, the reward, it
is declared, must go to the one class
of toilers-to those whose hand is the
sole arm of power: those who toll

fiery orator of the socialistic rostrum:
among them we must number also the
opulent spendthrift-the gi1ded youth
of yacht and club-room, who seeming
ly has the one task before him, to
waste in rare Wand and costly liquid
the savings of a self-contained ances-
try; the vain dame whose boast is the
quarter or half-million dollars strung
in gold and pearl over arm and neck;
the folly-stricken host or hostess in
tent on dazzling guests with precious
plate upon the table, while exotic
roses, telling of remote tropical climes,
deaden their senses. The fashion of
extravaganza is limitless in it's alb
surd behests: Croesus and Caligula
are distanced by their American imita-
tors. Meanwhile, nearby men and
women suffer the pangs of hunger:
and the toilers sweat out their life
blood in noisome factory and death
dealing mine that they and their fam
lilies may at all be enabled to live. And,
meanwhile, too, the spirit of extrava-
gance is let loose among all classes:
the middling rich, following, though
from afar, in the footsteps of richer
neighbors, must spend away beyond
needs and means: even the poorer
must ply the knee to the idol of the
times and in worship to pride and
sensualism scorn BETTING moderation,
and eat and drink and dress, until
nought is left behind in provision for
the morrow, as safeguard against
days of industrial depression, such as
surely now and then will darken their
pathWay-and, as the result, the most
