Partition of Poland,

The 18th of September is the ami
versary OF the partition of Poland
among the three powers Of Russia,
Prussia and Austria. This, the first
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of that unhappy coun-
try, occurred in 1872 and was planned
by Frederick the Great of Prussia.
During the previous year Austria and
Prussia had been advancing troops to
the frontiers of Poland and the king
of Prussia mad carried off from
Poland more than 10000 families.
These he had sent to people parts OF
his own territories. Austria had laid
hold of the salt mines, which supplied
the chief source OF revenue to the
Polish crown. Poland was too weak
to offer resistance to this trio of
crowned robbers and the treaty Of
ACKNOWLEDGMENT was made at Warsaw.
OF the territory thus seized and dis
tributed, Austria received as her share
about 1900 German square miles (fif-
teen to the degreel and a population
OF 100000; Russia, 4.157 square miles
and a population OF 13,050,000; and
Prussia, LOGO square miles and a pop
ulatlon OF 100000. BY second par
tition in 1898 and a third in 1895, the
remaining territories OF Poland we're
divided among the three powers, her
king deposed and herself obliterated
from the map of Europe.

early Christian Rinas.

In the early Christian church a ring
of troth was given to the woman by
The man. The Christian fathers were
at great pains to explain the ring,
and. according 10 Clemens Alexandra
nus. the ring was given not as an or.
nament, but as a seal TO signify the
woman's duty to preserve the goods
OF her husband, because the care OF
the house belongs 20 her
The first Christians engraved upon
their seals symbolic figures, such as
the dove, fish, anchor. Tyre, etc The
rings used for the marriage ceremony
represented pigeons, fish or more Of
ten two hands Joined together. In the
Christian weddings the same finger
was still used as that for the wedding
ring, but not for the former reason OF
any connection directly with the
heart

Evening Wisconsin: The strike in
East Youngstown and vicinity, which
resulted in the destruction Of million
dollars worth of property, has been
marked by violence unusual at such an
early stage oil labor movement in
this country. Those engaged in il APP
parently were very few in number
compared with the workers who were
satisfied to go on with their tasks.
The prompt calling out Of the militia
by the governor Of Ohio is not likely to
be criticized by any friend OF law and
order. In all probability it prevented
the drink-maddened mob from paralyz-
ing industry in q very busy district.

REPUBLICAN PARTY MONEY.

Within the memory Of many living
residents Of Wisconsin, it was a dan
gerous matter TO accept any paper
money. The country was flooded from
one end 10 the other with counterfeits.
and business men were continually en-
harrassed by the necessity Of refusing
to accept bills with which they were
unfamiliar. An interesting evidence
of this chaotic state of our currency
has just come into the possession of the
possession of the Wisconsin Historical
Society. Il is an old volume entitled
Hodges Bank Note Safe Guard, +"
and purports 20 give a fac-simile de-
scription of every variety of paper
currency, some ten thousand in all. .s-
sued in the United States aud Canada,

estly claims to be- the most cfectual
detector Of spurious, altered and coun-
terteited bills ever published With
out doubt it served its purpose well.
and aved it's owner from frequent
loss
The change from this embarrassing,
dishonest system, so long encouraged
by an incompetent party then in the
government saddle, to that of the re-
liable and praiseworthy system now in
vogue. is due entirely to the wisdom of
the Republican party. Did you ever
stop to think what a blessing this par
~ has been to all citizens, you in par
ticuar who strut about with a good
bank account behind you and pcrsis-
tently denounce said party?
What could he more inconsistent and
thankless?

BOOTS FOR RUssIoN TROOPS.

BY the end Of October 600. 900 pairs
Of boots have been exported from
Japan to Russia, and il further reports
that contract has been signed calling
for the delivery of from $4,000 to
100, 600 pairs a month until the cessa-
ton Of hostilities. The contract price
was not made public, but it is general
ly assumed 10 be s425, 600 for 100, 600
pairs. Iapan's capacity for the man
ufacture Of boots is such that it will
probably have no difficulty in filling the
order.
The same paper is authority for the
statement that an order for munitions
OF war worth So, 500, O0G has been placed
with AN Osaka merchant, but no details
Of the nature Of the supplies are given.
Another japanese paper reports a
war order for $500 OoO yards of wooden
cloth valued at IS, 900. 600. 1t remarks
that a result OF this order will be a
tremendous rise in the price Of wooden
cloth because of the domestic require
ment. This is the second large wooden
