The New York Store (LSTADLIIIED 1S.3.)

The prettiness and exI clusiveness of the styles and the. lowness of the prices in our Millinery Department is making us many friends nowa' days. Have you seen our fall collectfon? Pettis Dry Goods Go Tr" tlTO Cclebratea LEV WALLACE CIGAR ' The most exquisite 10c Cigar ever offered to the trade. S. D. P1ERS0N, General Agent AMUSEMENTS. A furious satire- on politics, brimming over with fun and peculiarly appropriate In Indianapoli3 Just, now, when 17,491 voters are filled with joy, 12,763 ar in the depths of, gloom and "steen" thousand nonvotera ar wearing gay faces behind their hats, U Roland Red's comedy, 'The Politician," that appeared at English's last night. Tbor was a good bis house out to Bee Reed. and. Judging by the treat popularity of the production, the management made a mistake In not arranging dates so that the company could have remained here at least half a weak. In 'The Politician" Mr. Reed has a character that fits every angje. and curve In his versatile body. As General limber he U a "killing success from the first. lie had the unusual honor last night of being- called before the curtain after the first act. The success of Mlsa Isadore Rush ia her character of a twentieth century woman waa hardly less pronounced than that of the star. It ia a picturesque and altogether acceptable travesty on the coming woman, made delightful by her charming manner and beautiful face. Miss Rush has a smile that puts her on the best of terms with the audience. She dresses the part In most fetching taste. wMr. Reed's entire- company Is remarkably free from sticks. There is pleasing comedy for every member, and all fit the parts to a nicety. That dear old "palmy-day" actress, Mrs. Mary Myers, whose face seems as young and pretty aa it was fifteen yearn go, make a winsome Widow Muffin, and Miss Pose Braham doea clever work as the In genu a. Gherldan Tupper has the old man role of Peter W'ooley, who is running for Congress against hla wllL It is a neat bit of character work, and natural as Ufa. William Bernard helps In the satire with his first lesson in politics, white Charles Wyngate gives promise of something -far better than the work he is now doing. Julian Reed is also clever in hi role as head of the man's rights club. The spirit of the comedy catches the audience like a dose of nitroglycerin for the heart, and the merriment is hearty and continuous. The company is on its way to Brooklyn, where .It opens on Monday night. Kcllar in magic at the Grand is repeating his success of former years, and deserves it, for he is giving a better performance than ever. Sadie Hasson is drawing good houses at the Tark with "A Kentucky Girl." Conterno's Band, that comes to English's (Saturday for a matinee and night concert, will be a great treat to music-loving pecEl a here who have cultivated a taste for igh-class Instrumental music. Conterno also carries a number of excellent solo performers. Ulllan Russell Is said to be in the gray KovemSer-day period, and that the onetime airy, fairy beauty will never more create a stage sensation. This Is not saying that rhe- Is barred out of ell other sensations, but they do not concern the publfc. Miss Russell, in DeKoven and Smith's "The Txigane," opened a new theater in Washington last week. DeKoven in person led the orchestra, and the first night's receipts are eaki to have been $1,900. DeKove a then went back to New York, and the receipts the rest of the week are given by some one as only 11.000. From this fact the Eastern critics are hinting that the public has become tired of Lillian Kussel: that her stardrawing qualities are played out. It will be remembered that the Lillian Russell company here last year did only a fair business.' It used to be that the opera house did not hold seats enough for the reople who desired to hear the "Queen of JKht Opera." The same tstory comes from most of the other cities where the ex opera queen has appeared in recent months. in New York the appearance of Lillian no more causes a furore, and nvhen he went to Boston busine.Vwas wretched for Mr. Abbey's song bird. While it is no doubt true that Lillian's poer Is waning, there id no other light opera singer yet come forward who can approach her in the queen business, nn-l It Is even probable, that aome years will elapse before there is another equally as great. Dlgby Bell finally seems to have made a hit in his new opera. "Nancy Lee," which tiad its initial production at Baltimore last week. Bell Is said to be well supplied with .trust Mmm You want Scott's Emul cfqn Ifyouasic your druggist for it and get you can trust that man.' But if he offers you " something1 just as good' ho will do the came when your doctor writes a prescription for which lie wants to get a special effect play, the game of life and death for the sake of a penny or two more profit. You cant trust that man. Get what 3'ou ask for, and pay for, vhcthcr it is Scotts Hmulv'zTi cr anything else.

a manager this time, and hi second individual starring tour will likely be more successful than the late lamented attempt. Sir Arthur Sullivan's "Ills Excellency," to be first given in this country next Monday, is attracting much attention in New York. The advance sale for the opening performance at the Broadway Theater Is flatteringly larjr. and the managers of Delia Fox and Francis Wilnon are wondering what they will do when the new opera is put on. The first production of "The Heart of Maryland," by David Belasco. the author of "The Wife." was given at Allen's Grand Opera House, in Washington, Wednesday night. The play is a war romance which tells the story of the struggles of a Southern girl between the love of country and the love of her heart, which was Riven to a Northern officert Maurice Barrymore and Mrs. Leslie Carter took the leading roles. The scenic effects are said to be most elaborate. Fannie' Bloomfleld Zeisler, the American planiste, whose return to her own country after her European triumphs will be one of the features of the musical season, was born in Baltimore, but lived in Chicago with her parents up to her fourteenth year, when she went to Europe and studied with the celebrated Leschiritsky, in Vienna. After her highly successful premiere in Europe she returned to this country and appeared in most of the principal cities with the principal orchestral organizations. Her signal successes with Nickisch and the Boston Symphony with Damrosch and Thomas are well remembered. Two years .ago the young American went back, to Europe and made phenomenal success with press and public, receiving a number of offers to play with the Philharmonic in London and the Colonne and Lemereux concerts in Paris, as well as with Henschel in London.

Kmpl 'Tnrklftli Knlgbts." The "Turkish Knights" conglomeration, which is filling in an open date at the Empire for the rest of this week. Is far and away one of the funniest shows ever turned loose. Any number of performances have been accused of being bad enough to be good, but the present affair is the first one in Indianapolis to reach perfection in that respect. Tiro good houses greeted the show yesterday, and nearly every one In the audience stayed till the fall of the curtain. Several improvements were made in . the night presentation. One mistake, however, is made by the chief comedian. At the evening performance he insisted on intruding hls comicalities during the granl march apd ballet, whlch in itself was far more amusing that any comedian could be. There are some really good circus features with the show, including a trick mule, some firstrate double-horizontal bar work and a contortionist whose work is excellent. Very likely, the "Turkish Knights" will draw, through sheer unintentional fun. : An Indiana Sinjrer's Success. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW YORK, Oct. 10,-Miss Mary Llnck, a young and prepossessing contralto of Evansville, Ind., has just signed a contract with Sir Augustus Harris to take a leading part In the new opera of "Hansel and Gretel," -which was produced in America for the first time last Tuesday. Miss Llnck was for two years the principal contralto in the Royal Carl Rosa Opera Company in England, and scored a big success there, aa well as in Italy. She has relatives and many friends in Indianapolis. She will make her appearance in Daly's Theater Monday night next. Miss Llnck made quite a record In amateur opera in Evansville when only "sweet sixteen." Her friends here predict that her American engagement will be as successful as her European career. The English artists have been failures and Sir Augustus is compelled to fall back on American girls. Miss Linck was ln the first cast of "Hansel and Gretel," given in London. She studied two years In Cincinnati and later graduated from the Chicago Conservatory. Lanartry'a Stolen Jewels Fonnd.

Poor Lo Comparatively Rich for the State of Ills Civilisation. Portland Oregonlan. The "poor Indian," of whom Pope sang somewhat pathetically, may not be a more enlightened creature, speaking in a general sense, than he was in that poetic time, but he Is. individually, and in aggregate, possessed of too much wealth to allow intelligent humanity to regard him as "poor" in the general acceptance of that term. While it is true in many instances that he has been deprived of his ancestral lands by no greater right than that of might, it is alo true than many tribes have been made wealthy by the payment of enormous sums for land to which they had no better title than that acquired by occupancy as hunters and ferocity as warriors. It is pure imagination to suppose that the entire American continent belonged a few hundred years ago to Indians, lneir numbers upon the discovery of the continent could not have execeeded one million, and they were divided into many hostile tribes, warring continually upon each other for the possession of bunting grounds. That such a title in land is not held to be good even, by our indulgent government, to Its citizens, is fully attested in the law which requires a man to "live on and cultivate" for a term of years a designated number of acres before he can acquire a title thereto that he can defend in law. The Indians, even when they held undisputed sway, had reduced but little of. the great continent to possession in any. proper sense of that term. Their wigwams and patches of corn were occupied and cultivated one year and perhaps deserted the next, and their title to the land thus occupied was based solely upon force. More than this, a claim to a continent, possessing vast areas and resources awaiting the development of civilization, merely as hunting grounds and battlefields. Is one that cannot stand for a moment before reason. Nevertheless, the Indian'f claim to such lands as he can occupy and use, according to the estimate of civilization, has been conceded, and various tribes have been paid enormous sums of money In conskleratlon of waving their claim of ownership, while other large sums are on deposit with the government, bearing interest,' against their future need. Many of them receive rations in payment of interest on money invested for their benefit. Some are quite rkii, and many now wretchedly poor have squar-Sered large sums paid to them for the extinguishment of their titles to lands which they could not occupy. The Chlckasaws, for example, numbering about five thousand, have money invested for them in Washington to the amount of $1,CGS.6(K, and are accredited owners of 4,650,000 acres of land, a large proportion of which is arable. In other words, every man, woman and child of ' the -tribe or nation has $0 in money and 980 acres in land. The Osages aTe richer still, while among tho tribes of the great Northwest millions) of dollars have been distributed within the past few years for wide acres of land that they could cot use. The condition of the Indian Is not all that the humanitarian desires. Still, they whose sympathies do not obscure their judgment must admit that it is a great deal better in. general than it was when they depended entirely upon their hunting grounds fon sustenance, and held these oniy by the varying fortunes of fierce and cruel : war. To dispute this is to deny to civilization the measure of success, even though it be small, that has attended its effort to smooth the pathway of a fading race to inevitable oblivion. Considering that he is a savage and overmatched at every point, and that he, In common with other racea and people, is amenable to the .great law of the survival of the fittest, the Indian has not fared so badly. Indeed, It Is no exaggeration to say that, as a whole, the Indians are in far better condition than they were before they knew the white man. Oyer the Telephone. Philadelphia Record. He was a very nice-looking young man. tut he looked nervous, and all the clerks In the. office looked at him curiously when he rushed In and asked permission to use the telephone. "I want to talk to my wife," he exclaimed, "and there is a telephone in the drusr store next door to us, where she can talk to m." He was told to help himself. He went Into the little glass apartment and closed the door, but he was not used to a telephone, being under the impassion that it was necessary to shout Into It at the top of his lunjjs. and so the clerks heard the entire conversation. "Hello! Is that Smiths drug store? VVdl, this is Mr. Jones. What? Mr. Jonr-s! J-o-n Yes. that's rlsht, next door! Will you call my wife to the telephone, please? Yes, I'll hold my ear here." A long pausp, und then In a voice softly modulated: "Is that you. dear? I want to tell you how sorry What? I say. I want to tell you how You can't hear? Now, is this anv better? Hello, dear! No! No!! "don't bring the man to the 'phone. I'll try again. I want to tell you how sorry I am for being cross to you this morning Yes! Do you forgive me? What? Oh! You say 'long ago!' Oh! you dear Blrl! What's that funny noise? What? pell it! Ves! K-I-s. Oh! yes, I understand. Here's one for you, sweetheart." Here the young man made a noise like th pop of a campagne cork. Then he called off, and walked away from the 'phone blushing happily. ' A man Riving the name of Charles Smith was trying to get a check earned on Indiana avenue yesterday afternoon, and when patrolman IjOih approached him and asked his name, it is alleged that he struck the officer in the face.

PERSONAL - LIBERTY

ADDRESS IIY REV. W. F. CRAFTS AT FOURTH PRESDYTERIAX ClIVHCII. He Talk of Liberty, lloth Spiritual and Spirituous RIalit of Individuals to Do n They Please. The following is the full text" of the address delivered last night at the Fourth Presbyterian Caurch by Rev. W. F. Crafts: "Nearly four centuries ago, in the days of Luther, like the flash of northern lights around the upper sky, all Europe was electrified with the. cry 'religious liberty.' There was nothing selfish in the cry. It meant, to the men who uttered it, liberty to die that their children might have liberty to pray. A century later that light had worked down .into the lower skj To the men who uttered It.- it meant liberty to die that their sons might have liberty to govern themselves. "Alas, that a word of such heavenly glory should now be oftenest heard in that synonym of personal deviltry and personal selfishness,- 'personal liberty.' There Is everything selfish in that cry. It means, to the men who utter it, liberty to destroy themselves, and in doing so to destroy the morals and peace of society. . "In society the watchword of all 6ave the slaves of that evil triumvirate, appetite, lust and greed, will be "popular liberty,' with liberty for the person only po far aa it is consistent with the liberties of the populace. There can be no such thing in civilized society aa 'personal liberty' in the sense that prodigals and politicians use that term. "Even in the -wilderness, a hundred miles from the nearest savage tribe, and beyond the range of all civil law, the reveler cannot Indulge in impurity with impunity. Even there, for his own good, his liberty is encircled with law the law of God, written in his body, a law from which he cannot escape. Even there, . whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he reap. He that soweth to the fleh shall of the flesh reap curruptlon. Even in "the solitude of the wilderness the tippler shall find that he wiio sows an act reaps a tendency; and that he who sows a tendency reaps a habit; and that he who sows a habit leaps a character; and that he who sows a character reaps a destiny. Nowhere in all God's universe Is there personal liberty to do wrong with Impunity. The only true personal liberty is liberty, to choose between various ways of doing right. "But, so far as civil law is concerned the man who will. go . away by himself into the wilderness may have personal liberty to keep a stencil at his door, because he Is not interfering with any neishbor's liberty who prefers sweet odors; he may make night hideous with drunken rage and revelry, because he is not interfering with any neighbor's liberty .to . rest in peace. When thia solitary, however, concludes that the protection and fellowship of society is more to be desired thanhis unbounded liberty to destroy himself, Juat aa a man exchanges hla iw-acre claim on the frontier for a small corner, lot irk the city, this solitary surrenders his limitless civil liberty for the smaller but more desirable liberty of civilized society. Such exchanges make up the history of civilization. Personal liberty in society is an ample circle, smoothly bounded on all sides by laws that protect the liberties of others; a circle In which one can do what he pleases if he pleases to do what is just; in which he can do what he likes if he likes to do what is right. The man who has- in himself that equity which whispers all true laws' to the legislator, and all right interpretations of them to the judge, and which silently leads every good citizen. In whatever land he travels, to obey all true1 laws without having seen 'them that equity is a centripetal force that keeps the Just man in bis orbit, inside of the circle of his personal liberty; keeps him from ever desiring to infringe on his neighbor rights and liberties. TRUE PERSONAL. LIBERTY. "The man who has no will to do ill Is the only man -who has true personal liberty. This is of tho loftiest teaching of Christianity, the loftiest achievement of the Christian the freedom of the man who has' come out victorious from that-battle of the seventh chaper of Romans beween flesh and spirit, in which, the cry is heard, 'What I would I do not, and what I would not that I do,' and has passed through the triumphal arch of ..the -blessed . eighth,' shouting, 'There Is, therefore,' now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus' free from the guilt or sin, not only, but alro from the power of it, and the very love of it, and fo 'free from the law.' because ho obeys it freely, from innermost preference, not by outward constraint, whether of force or fear. "During the first year at Chautauqua, on the night of the feast of lights, a very large toy balloon, in rising, was caught ' In the upper branches of a tall tree, and as the multitude watched breathlessly there seemed to be a battle between the Invisible force that sought to lift the balloon heavenward and the tree that seemed a giant dragging it back to earth, the old battle between light and darkness, between 'the flesh and the spirit. At last light triumphed, and the balloonj tmtom, pulled Itself free of the last, earthly entanglement and rose into the freedom of the upper air. watched eagerly as it moved upward until it shone as a heavenly star a picture of true personal liberty, the liberty of him who obeys all laws freely because he loves God with all his heat and hla neighbor as himself. In the words of George -McDonald, 'If God's will is cur law, then are we but a kind of noble slaves; tout if God's will is our will, then are we his free children.' ; , "On the background of such true personal liberty the so-called personal liberty' of the saloonist and the sensualist, and the 'liberty' of those who deslro to enrich themselves by supplying them with vices is seen to be not personal liberty at all. but its opposite personal slavery. It might fairly be. expected that. Americans would know something about liberty, after all they have paid in blood and treasure to secure it, but the cry- of 'personal liberty' Is usually spoken with a'rtrong foreign accent. When we apeak of foreigners, let us never forget to make it understood that we do not mean foreigners who are American in spirit. The Irishman who had sampled our country for a montn ana ordered he 'had determined to take it for his native land' could have done Just that. There are Irish, especially Scotch-Irish, who are Americans in spirit. Most of those who come to us from all parts of the British empire are but new loads of Mayflower stock. Of course, we never think of Canadians as foreigners. They are the Americana of Americans in all the original moral Implications of that word. What New England was, Canada Is. Toronto is the queen city of the world in moral?, having the best Sabbath, no tolerated brothels, no police gazettes, and 10,000 majority for prohibition, tho largest city that ever gave a majority vote against ine liquor tramc. "On one of the Sabbaths I spent in beautiful Los Angeles a senatorial irrigation commission was there, and Instead of representing the Sabbath laws, of their own States in that only State which had none, these Senators went to Santa Monica, the Coney island of southern California, on a Sunday excursion. Mrs. Jones, who was their host at that place, sent a special messenger to a fine ostrich farm located there, whose proprietor, an Englishman, kept it closed on the Sabbath for conscientious reasons, at great loss to himself, urging that it be cpened just for" an hour or two that day for these special guests, with the reminder that such an act would give it a national advertisement. The proprietor replied promptly: -'If tho President of tho United States were here asking admittance on the Sabbath I would not admit him.' That Is the kind of Americans we want, wherever they are born. "And the Hollanders of Holland, Mich., and of Holland. Neb., indorsed our petition to Congress In behalf of the Sabbath en masse. The Norwegians of the Northwest not only man our law and order leagues, but carry States for prohibition. And of the Germans 1 reckon two-fifths as on the side of law and order and the Sabbath, and more would be if we did our duty- to them by sending them reform speakers and. literature. RIGHT TO ACT WITH IN THE LAW. "One of the very best definitions of personal liberty was given by Rev. Dr. Oerter, speaking to and for a thousand Germans of the better sort, gathered in Brooklyn a few years since In behalf of law and order. He said, In substance, that personal liberty is the right to act without molestation within the limits of law. "But It is not for such 'personal liberty that the foreigners of the baser tort yell so wildly on reaching our shores. Such individuals want 'personal liberty' to destroy social liberty. They attack liberty in liberty's name. It reminds me of the shrewd trick by which Cambyses. the Persian, destroyed the liberties of Eopt. He knew that the Egyptians .. worshiped sacred cats; that an Egyptian would not kill a cat to save his wife or his life. And therefore he eouipped his army, not with awords and shields, but with swords and cats the latter taking the place not only or shields, but also of musical instruments. The tumultuous wailing of the Egyptian gods unnerved the Egyptians as soon as the Persian army came within bearing. TJ: EzrptUn taw they couii net kill en

invader without killing - a god. and so surrendered their families and their country to the foe. That hlMcry Is repeating itself in our own land. God forbid, patriots forbid, that the last part should be repeated. But the first part is being repeated before our very eyes. Hundreds of thousands of foreigners who come here, not for freedom to worship God, as our fathers did. but for freedom to raise the devil, march to the attack of the very Institutions that have made this a good country to emigrate to, the lack of which have made their own lands good places to emigrate from, and, as they lift their swords to attack our liberties, they raise as a shield to paralyze our defense our sacred word 'liberty,' knowing that to many Americans liberty Is only a superstition, a goddess, indeed, that must not be refused even human sacrifices, her name a word to be feared as a spell, even when uttered by her foes. The most absurd element of the situation, which would be a comedy, were it not also a tragedy, is that these newly-arrived foreigners fresh from foreign despotlsm.who never saw liberty In their lives, and would not know it if they saw it. present themselves as self-appointed professors of liberty, to teach Americans how to be free. They cannot teach us anything about liberty, but we need to study it anew for ourselves in the new conditions of this age of cities that we may stand firmly and together for our American institutions, which are not only consistent with liberty, but essential to It. "How much 'personal liberty has the man who works seven days in the week that others may be enriched or amused? Howmuch religious and civil liberty have those countries that make the Sabbath a day of revelry, rather than a day for the culture

of intelligence, and consciousness, and .a spirit of equality, three essentials of life to a republic? EUROPE'S SUNDAY HOLIDAY. "Hallam, the great philosopher of history, bids us note that the shrewd despots of Europe have cultivated a love of Sunday amusements to keep the people quiet under political distresses; that is, the so-called holiday Sunday,, instead-of being the very insignia of personal liberty; is historically shown to be Its substitute-the tinsel bauble that shrewd monarchs have given to grownup babies Instead of the ballot of self-government. Official investigations made in recent years by the German government In reply to the bitter cry of Sunday toilers, showed that In Prussia 57 per cent, of the factories more than half and 77 per cent, of the establishments oevoted to trade and transportation more than three-fourths were in operation on the so-called holiday Sunday. The downward steps of the continental Sunday are: Holiday, workaday. p devil's day, despot's day.- These steps, of which Germans at home seek to be rid, let not Germans here think to thrust upon us. "And let us show clearly to such Germans as regard reason and religion the relation of Sabbath laws to liberty. Let us show them that Sabbath laws have no kinship to the unwarranted efforts of the past to enforce religion, but are rather a protection of the right to rest and freedom of worship. There Is, no doubt. In the Sabbath law, as in Thanksgiving proclamations, a recognition that 'this is . a Christian Nation. as the national Supreme Court unanimously declared on Feb. 29, 18)2; but as there are no fines or imprisonment for not worshiping on Thanksgiving day, so there is not a dollar of fine or a day of imprisonment provided in any. law of the United States for failing to keep the Sabbath religiously. To quote again from our national Supreme Court, this time a unanimous opinion rendered on March 16, . 18& '(112 U. S 710): .'laws setting aside Sunday as a day of rest are upheld not by any right of the govetnment to legislate for the promotion cf religious observances, but from its right to protect all persons from the physical and moral debasement that comes from uninterrupted labor. Such laws have always bepn deemed beneficial and merciful laws, especially to the poor and dependent, to the laborers in our factories and workshop?, and in the heated rooms of our cities, and their validity has been sustained by the highest courts of the States. Let me put with this judicial dictum two axiomatic laws of Sabbath rest uttered by Horace Greeley, who said, in substance, that if a man may work he must Work, and who also said. The liberty of rest for each demands a law of rest for all.' "Iet me illustrate this axiom by the movement the barbers have made in many I a community all over the country ins be half or 'the barbers Sunday Other tradesmen say, 'We would like to close on Sunday if the others would.' And there it ends, but in the case of the barbers, wh'a have more of the Declaration of Indepenoence in them than most trades that have been dragged Into Sunday slavery, the majority who wish to close compel the stupid and selfish minority to do so in defejise of their own liberties. But at first they try experiments. One barber who realizes that If all barber shops close together on the Sabbath the trade would make as much in six days per week as it had before made in seven: who sees that in Sunday work, as in swearing, one is serving the devil for nothing and boarding himself; carries about an agreement to close and gets nineteen of the twenty barbers in town to sign, but the barber he has left to the last, because he is cross and crotchety, and selfish, refuses, and claims 'personal liberty' to open. The other barbers see that if they close and he opens, some selfish customer on a stormy Saturday night, when the bail is playing its dismal tune on the window, while he sits in dressing gown end slippers, before the winter bouquet of his open fire, with a prattling child on each knee, will fay, I guess I'll not go to the barber to-night; my barber will not be open Kundav morning, but Smith will.' and so his regular barber will Jose a quarter or a customer. That one man's pcrsonal liberty' to open becomes, therefore, the personal slavery of the other nineteen, until they remember that there is a law and realise that it was made, not to force them to church, but to protect their liberty to rest without .needless less through an unjust competitor or master. That one barber uffords a fair sample of so-called 'personal liberty,' the liberty of one man to fellow some selfish, but unwise impulse at the cost of the liberties of others whom he thus enslaves either in toil or appetites. LIBERTY TO DO WRONG. "The 'personal liberty of the liquor seller to sell his maddening poison, cf the dens cf Infamy to sell yet more deadly vices, cn any day, meana liberty to break the hearts of mothers and damn the lives of sons by the score. The personal liberty of the drunkard to make himself a temporary lunatic Interferes with the liberties of men and -women and children wherever he exercises that liberty. The law abridges no man's personal liberty except his liberty to do wrong and that only in the defense of the liberties of others. "An uhabiidged pocket edition of all true laws Is afforded by the familiar signs, 'Gentlemen will not and others must not spit on these steps.' As a book of etiquette does not contain a lot of arbitrary evolutions for parrors and parties evolved out of some man's consciousness arbitrarily, but only puts on record what gentlemen and ladles will not and others must not do if they would be received In good society, bo, true legislators simply put in the law books what honest men will not and others nust not do. A Sabbath law is but the legal expression of the fact that the humane will not. and others must not allow miserly greed for gold, or their prodigal gred for pleasure, rob other men of their right to the rest day. "Two millions of people to-day, a many as were delivered from the despotism of King George by the revolution, are now In a more serious bondage, Sunday slavery to King Greed, doing needless Sunday work with uneasy consciences. At Yorktown, in the very shadow of the monument that celebrates the close . of the revolution, around which were the embankments of our last war. I asked a colored man who was In charge of the adjoining farm, pointing to a hole in the chimney of the farm house, which had evidently been made by grape or cannister, 'When was that chimney wounded? Was it in the last war or in the revolution? 'I don't know, bopp. he replied; 'how long ago was the resolution? There was InJeed a good deal of ' resolution In the revolution. Otherwise our fathers who stained the snow of Valley Forge with the blood of their half-clad feet, would never have trodden In triumph the heights of Yorktown. Victory came not by New Year's resolutions or church resolutions. It was resolution without the s that delivered those two millions from King George and like resolution will deliver the two millions of our people who are in the worst bondage of Sabbathless toil to-day."

Every woman desires to be individualized as to dress. She docs not want to look like any one else, Heady-made garments often look well, tbere's no denying that, but they are never really satisfactory, there is something lackinsr, tho "je ne sais quoi." that distinguishes the true lady appropriately dressed from the cook, who is out lor a holiday. : The difference between ladies' tailoring like ours, and ready-mado wear, is about the same as exists between a genuine bank note anda counterfeit.

He Is Kins: of the Slock-Ynrdn "Can if ami Has Xevcr Been 4LlckodM Snve Once bjr a. ;Pnlle f Doilrt. New York Press. "Buck" McCarthy can lick any member of the Chicago Board of AMcrmen in any ort of fight except a fair fisht. He can "do" the Mayor with one hand. He ?ay that he didn't "gouge" Alderman Lammers, of the Fifteenth ward, but only "gilled" him. If he had "gouged" him, Lammers probably would have grone to an undertaker's Instead of to bed. The difference between "gouging" and "gilling" ia technical, an 1 may be new to New Yorkers. In the Chicago stock yards it 13 among the common placesJ Since his argument with Lammers. "Buck has explained that there is a fine distinction between "gouging" out an cpponefs eye or a piece of fle3h and running a thumb Into his mouth and , ripping open his cheek, which Is known as the fine art of "gilllng." He is free, to admit that when a man Is only In need of a mild licking a,nd is easy to "do,' that "gougirg" may to an unfair superfluity. "Glll'ng" is always allowable. In politics "Buck" has been both a Republican and a Ee-nocrat, and wouldn't object to being a r. ch'.b -tlonlst if there was anything In it. While Alderman Lammers is 'lying at th2 point cf death, "Buck" stru's about the corridors of tho City Hal', and says that he is ready to "do" anybody who wants to tak? Lammers's part. As "Buck" i admittedly the champion "gouger" of the city, and has at his back a troop of "gougers," delicately trained under his own supervision, who are always spoiling to assist him In an emergency, people are thy about accfptlng his offer. "Buck" Is no diplomatist. The proverb about the files, the sugar and th?,v ncar he considers to be the most gllttrln? fraud that ever escaped the Hps of man. When he wants to win the favor of a heeler he slmplv tells the heeler to cmnc: "wid vs" or get "done up." Usually a threat is sufficient. When It isn't, "Buck" is as good a his word, and there i Just crouch of the protester left after the ever.t Is over to count for one vote. A rORCINB KIXO. "Buck" is the king of the stock yards, Chicago's greatest Institution, lie Is an apothoofls of the stock yards, and, therefore, an apotheosis of Chicago. In height he Is 6 feet 2 inches, In weight 250 pounds, In age fifty years, and he is equal to. a quart of whisky a day and tun run a hundred yards in eleven seconds, lie earns his living as a hog buyer and a politician. His head is pear-shaped, with narrow forehead, great rolls of flesh under his chin, hoglikc neck and glittering, little, hoglike eye. Constant association with hogs has made him porcine. From the rooting of the hog he learned the value of kicking an opponent In the abdomen and of gilling." and from the manner of the hog's leedtng the value of "gouging." "Buck" Is creative, and some of. the original methods of fighting in vogue In thr stock yards district began with htm. Pulling an opponent's coat over his head is distinctly atMcCarthyite method. The coat trick was used on Lammers. McCarthy struck at Iammers first, and Lammers dodged. Then the fight legan In earnest. Marquis of Queensberry rules not psevaliing. ' McCarthy's "boys" promptly formed a ring, half a dozen deep, around the two struggling men, and those of the nore respectable element at tho raucus who tried to rart the combatants got something more emphatic than a rebuff from "the boys." Lammers succeeded in . getting on top of McCarthy, but it was only for a moment. When "the boys" saw that the fight was in doubt they promptly gave "Buck" their moral support by pulling lammers's cutaway coat over his head, which ''pinioned" his arms and obscured his vi3ion. so that he was completely at the mercy of "Buck." who ran his thumb under his coat and Into the sock of Lammers's eye. "He's tearing my eye out," shrieked the struggling hammers.' "The boys" laughed In reply, and gave Lammers a few more kicks in the abdomen. If anybody knows how to gouge out an eye McCarthy knows. Had lammers been thin and had his eyeballs protruded, "Buck" could easily have taken them home as souvenirs. If he could have nad onty three or four more gouges he would have done so, defplte any handicap whatsoever.

"Buck's" .hand was bloody, and he had two or three scratches on his face. He ?at down and received the homage due him fronr-'the boys." "The boys" had got a fight ami that was what they wanted. To have gone back to the stock yards after waiting all day outside without a signal for a "scran" from their "boss" wouM have been utter humiliation. The blood streamed out of Lammers' eye. Only a cushion of fat behind tho ball had Saved his sight. Both eyes are still coverod with a compress. There were more raw plaees than skin upon his face. Internal Injuries as a result of the kicks in tthe abJomen were feared. . For days his stomach wasT able to retain only crackers nd milk. At last accounts there was hope of hla recovery. The notorious aldermanlc fat had not only saved his eyesight, but p)ss5biy his life by acting as a cushion to his abdomen.-- Ianimers is not a high type of politician, but he Is by no means so bad as McCarthy.

There are two or three small scratches from Lammers's linger nails on "Buck's" face. He shows two marks on his lingers as evidence of Lammers's teeth; but home people, when not in his presence, are inclined to doubt his veracity, as Lanrrier wears false teeth anl cannot Mte a bread crust.
