OAK GROVE.

The Ben-Hur Reading Circle met at S. T.

It was an '"Evening with Longfellow," and each member contributed something according to his or her taste. Biographical sketches were given, also some of his host poems. The remarks of the president alone was it veritable feast, abounding as it did in inciden.sin the life of the poet and most beautiful quotations from his works. So much for the literary feast. For the latter part of the evening we had what was called a narrative exercise, conducted in this wise: Each member, as his name was called arose and told a short story, at the same time contributing a package of nuts of candy. After all had mado their donations, the sweet meats were passed and enjoyed promiscuously. Several visitors were present and spoke in terms commendatory of the organization.

HER REASON.

A vroiun.. (.'aiiaiiv BayH "It'll So lJecuuso It Is So." "It's so 'causa it is so!"

This was her reason. It Is needless to say that she was—a woman. Her answer suggested something to a bystander, who said: "That is a woman over and

over

again. When she comes to a conchi* sion she seldom knows how she has attained thereto, and if you should ask her why she thinks thus and so, she will usually say: 'Oh, it is so 'cause it is so.' "Is woman superior to man! That, my dear fellow, is what Aristotle would call a blind question if you only looked you could judge foryourself. However, tfhe analysis ought not to consider superiority or inferiority, but rather equality and from this standard (a fair one to the men at least), 1 should conclude: That women are different than men. That is all. Simply different. Different, too, in many ways, especially in qualities of mind. Men think. Women act. As the gifted Arsene Houssaye has it: 'All men are philosophers, all women actresses.' Men worry themselves with judgments, reasons, causes, considerations, propositions, stir tip the whole mass—logical and illogical—and then make many wrong conclusions. On the other hand, woman, poor, unthinking, blind, adoring Woman (this time with a capital W) throws reason and judgment to the wind, ditto considerations, ditto logical and illogical propositions, then brings tiiat wonderful, baffling instinct of hers into movement—and nine timesoutof ten reaches a conclusion that is simply the essence of truth and logic. How does she do it?

How do you suppose a mere pigmy man can sav? He holds up both his hands and says wonderful! wonderful! while she, unconscious that she is such an intellectual marvel, merely smiles demurely—accepting without hesitation the plaudits of.the main guy. Isn't this so, Lizette? Why, of course, it is—'it's so 'co-use it is so!'"—Detroit Free Press.

Force of the Kx|ilo*ioii.

The explosion occurred at 7:25 o'clock and was so violent that the shock was felt at Racine, 35 miles south of this city. The men were preparing a blast that was to have been 11 red at noon, and were thawing out the "forcite."' of which there COO pounds. Xo one knows how explosion occurred. There was a rific report, and when the smoke cleared away both the Walters had disappeared. -They had thawed out 150 pounds of the dynamite and that exploded, but the uuthawed boxes did not explode. Down below the ledge, and not more than 50 feet away, eighteen men were at work, but not one of them was hurt. On the spot where the men had stood a great hole was torn in the rocky ledge. The portable engine was blown some distance, and one end of it was shattered completely, while a wagon that also stood 011 the ledge was scattered all over the neighborhood. A large water tank was served in the same fashion, and a piece of the tank struck John Rogalsky, who was working a little further up the bank that slopes down into the quarry.

The enormous force of the explosion is shown by the fact that a fragment of one of the men's heads was found at a distance of fully 1,000 feet across the railroad tracks. Except some shreds of clothing and a glove there was nothing- that could be identified as having belonged to either man. 'ur«lvN*ucHH

The explosion was the subject of much conversation among the otlicials at the courthouse. City Engineer Henzenberg said that men get very careless in handling explosives. At the blasting of the new intake tunnel he found the men growing so careless that he made the contractors discharge the head of one. of the gangs. He found them thawing out dynamite near the boilers. They were apt to allow the explosive to lie around loose. In tossing a hammer into a corner in a shed one day the hammer landed within 8 inches of a stick of dynamite.

and Salvador have joined the reciprocity procession. The agreements wore signed by Secretary Maine. Tuesday. The Salvador arrangement will become operative without delay, but the senate of Guatemala has to ratify the treaty with that country. There is 110 question that this will be done. Both these Central American republics are large producers of cotree and the need of a free market in the United States has induced them to take advantage of the reciprocity clause in the Mclvinley bill and make some concessions 011 imports from America, though they cannot afford to give up much of their income from revenue duties. The concessions will be chiefly on lumber and agricultural products. There is a large and growing lumber trade on the Pacific coast which will ke benefited by the arrangement. The agreements with Guatemala and Salvador have a political as well as a commercial significance. They bring the Central American countries closer than ever to the United States. Costa Rica hopes soon to overcome the obstacles in the payment of the interest on its national debt which has prevented it ratifying a reciprocity agreement with the United States. Nicaragua is slower, but in due time will come in.

SUED THE POLICE.

Tliomas ol" Chlcngo, Sfloka Dam. for tlie Hoociit Anarchist liaid. CutcACio, Dec. HI.—Thomas Greif has finally carried out his threat by suing Capt. John E. Mahoney and Inspector Lyman II. Lewis in the circuit court Wednesday for S'J5,00I) damages in an action for trespass. Mr. Salomon appears as the attorney for Greif. The suit is based 011 the raid the police made on Greif's hall on Lake street in searching for anarchists. In the excitement doors were forcibly opened and flags anil other property destroyed. Superintendent of Police McClaughry has recently paid for the damage done 1 his officers, but this evidently docs not satisfy the proprietor of tho hall. Mr. Greif takes the legal position that the police interference was malicious and without warrant. He claims that they not alone entered the place without authority, but that the trespass resulted in the death of his daughter, who was lying in bed seriously ill at the time.
