when dawn broke there were thir-

deep in the icy water and afraid to
move lest the cranky craft be over

numbed and half dead, besought us
to save them, and one or two made an

Colonel Oracle denied with empha
sis that any men were fired upon and
declared that only once was a revol-
yer discharged This was for the pur-
pose of intimidating some steerage
passengers he said, "who had tum-
bled into a boat before it was pre-
pared for launching. This shot was
fired in the air and when the foreign.
ers were told that the next would be
directed at them, they promptly re-
turned to the deck. There was no
confusion and no panic"
Before I retired" said Colonel
Oracle, Il had long chat with
Charles M. Hays, president of the
Grand Trunk Railroad. One of tins
last things NJ. Hays said to me was
this : "The White Star, the Cunard
and the Hamburg-American lines are
devoting their attention and ingenuity
in vying with each other to attain
the supremacy in luxurious ships and
in making speed records. The time
will come when this will be capped by
some appalling disaster Poor fell

ARRAIeNs CONTRACT SYSTEM.
Governor of Wisconsin Is Against Pres.
ent Methods.

Milwaukee, wis.-Gov. Francis E. Nc
Govern recently opened the fourth an
nual meeting. of the American Institute
of Criminal Law and Criminology in this
city with an address, in which he dis
cussed criminal trials and penal institu-
tions in Wisconsin, paying especial at
tention to the system of contract con-
vict labor employed at the state prison
at Waupin. Under the contract system,
as We have it, this state receives 65
cents a day for the labor of the prison
ers at Waupun. Under the present ar
rangements with the contractor, the Par
amount Knitting company, the public
furnishes some buildings, heat, light and
power, in addition to the labor of the
prisoners. Subtracting these items there
remains only about 40 cents a day as
compensation for the work of the con-
yicts, many of whom, at proper employ
ment. are capable of earning from s1-50
fore, that the legislature, at its last ses-
sion, was compelled to appropriate $780,
900 year to maintain this institution.
There can be little doubt that this plan
is wasteful and unjust to the taxpayers
of the state, unfair to free labor, and
outside manufacturers, and discouraging
to prisoners. There is, indeed, little to
commend it except that it furnishes
steady employment. This is one of the
subjects now under investigation by the
Wisconsin Board of Public Affairs, and
l trust when the inquiry is finished some
action will be taken by the legislature
respecting it"

OUR SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

Chicago-The assembly halls OF Chi
cago public schools have been thrown
open for political meetings during the
present campaign, the board of educa-
ton deciding favorably upon this mat
ter a short time ago. This was done
with a view to submitting a report to
either abandon the idea or continue the
use of the assembly halls for genera.
public purposes. A subcommittee has
charge of fixing rentals and making
rules and regulations governing the oc-
cupancy of the halls for political meet
ings. 1t is said that this new departure
will result in opening the public schools
for meetings for other purposes not in
conflict with public sentiment The
American Federation of Labor has for
years advocated the opening of the pub
lie schoolhouses for discussion of all pub
lie and humanitarian subjects, and no
doubt the decision of the board of edu-
cation has been arrived at on account of
the agitation which has been conducted
by the American Federation of Labor.

STILL ABLE TO CATCH RATS
Cat Seemingly Understood Derogatory Remark and Proved Falsity
 of Charge.

A number of years ago a small, white kitten strayed into a provision store, so forlorn in appearance it es- pecially appealed to the sympathies of those in charge, and moreover such good little thing, never jump ing onto the bench or anywhere else it ought not to be, they decided tc keep it. Eight or nine years after ward, one night, about closing-up time, large rat came into view, but the cat did not pay any attention to it, or seem to care anything about it. The proprietor said, "That cat is getting too old to catch rats; we shall have to get some traps and set around here." The next morning, when the store was opened, the body of big rat was discovered lying or the meat bench with its head toward the chopping block, a place in which it could not but be seen, and on two or three mornings of that same week again the body of large rat was found in the same way, as if the cat said, "I can catch rats if I want to-" MT. L. says no one could tell him after that that a cat didn't un- derstand what was said.-Our Four footed Friends.

FIT GIRLS TO EARN
Parents Never Can Know That Daugh- ters May Not Have to Make
 Their Own Way.

Every girl in the world should be fitted to earn living, even though she does let have to look out for herself. Life is uncertain, but mon- ey has way of deserting one with out warning. Only in the few cases Is is loss due to circumstances which might have been avoided. One expects to pay the price of careless ness or recklcssness, but nobody is ever fully prepared for unforeseen disaster.
 Many a woman has blessed the memory of parents who had been sufficiently thoughtful to prepare them for emergencies Children show signs of special ability at an early age and in boys it is cultivated with an eye to the future-the inev- itable time of bread-winning. Girls are less fortunate, for many of them have to go out into the world with out special advancement and with little thought of future advance ment, so the occasional woman with an abundance of persistence climbs to a safe position and the great mass of struggling women snatch what they can from chance.-Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.

WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN
 TEMPERANCE UNION
Chips From BuIein's Ak

You folks that are raising babies what would you take for your your daughter if a white slave procuresS should offer to buy her? Well, they get some body's girl. The saloon must close when all the mothers boys fail them. Have you a boy for them? What will you take for him?
 Has the man with license a right to damn boys. No, you tax a dog to make somebody re- sponsible for him. You tax doctors to shut out quacks. Why do you tax saloons? They are wrong within themselves. The saloon is mad dog. You don't tax a thing like that. You de. stroy it. Understand, II apolo- gize to the mad dog
 If the saloon people knew what a healthy majority of signers our temperance people have they would know they are doomed.
 1 don't want to have my stand ard of living to fall below what the grand old sinner knows 1 ought to have. Every man of the world expects the Christian man to fight the saloon to the very death. If you are not mak- ing war to the knife on this blighting curse you are not living up to the expectation O. your master.
 Don't you believe that sweet pure, educated girl has as much judgment about what is good for your city as drunken old saloon bum?
 If we could vote on statewide prohibition and get an honest count old Arkansas would go dry in 24 hours.
 If you would just let the min- isters count the ballots once you and 1 know we would get an honest count, but I notice they haven't called on them to serve in that capacity, Why, I wonder.
 You are decidedly on the other side if you haven't signed our petition. There is no neutral ground.
 God speed the day when our law makers will not be sent to our halls of legislation by the consent of the element whose business it is to break those laws.
 Whiskey makes the saloon, keeper fat, the drunkard's home and children poorand tue drunk ard blind and crazy. Can a thing that works such system be protected by our glorious stars and stripes?
