THE perpetrator of one of the most revolting crimes in Chicago's ten volume history of crime, was hanged in the Cook county jail this morning. Hangings are supposed to convey a moral lesson but the lesson in this was nullified by the morbid interest inspired by columns of mushy sentiment. There are some kinds of publicity which encourage rather than check crime.

The nearer we get to the secret of the success of the most successful adthe more plainly we see that success is due to knowledge of human nature, and that the degree of successs is comparable to the amount and quality of knowledge.

FINANCE AND COMMERCE

Chicago, Ill., June 22, 1906. Trading at the opening was rather dull and devoid of notable features. Wheat started a shade firmer with commission houses buying and scalpselling. Trade was not large or very general. Corn opened a shade higher on light acceptances despite lower caand large receipts. The oat trade was limited and mainly local and professional. Marabout steady. Throughout the session there was an under-current of weakness, with an occasional suggestion of broadentrade, but the aggressiveness of the bears, precluded a bull moveand prices were allowed to drift off to a slight decline, the final figures showing a slight lower level than the former session.

It Is the Father of Contemporary

American Drama. No problem is more fascinating to the student of Elizabethan drama than the attempt to trace its splendid achievement to its earliest sources. The quest leads one back to primitive folk plays, to secular improvisations and mediaeval renderings of sacred story, and all study of perfected types shows clearly here and there the deinfluence of these first atIt is odd that no one has undertaken a similar investigation of our Ameridrama, a species of art so disfrom drama proper that we are not only justified in seeking, but are compelled to seek a partially diforigin. The material drawn from American life, developed by American talent and appealing to American audiences has peculiar charpointing irresistibly in condevelopment and execution to our first artistic achievement, the American circus, and inquiry as to origins takes us back to our ownshall I say mediaeval?-days, when P. T. Barnum was perfecting the enterthat was to burst upon the eyes of an astonished world.

In all. motif, plot, characterization, setting, show unmistakably the influence of the great prototype already suggested. Circles and circles of unrelated actlon, swift galloping from one to another lest the audience should have time to think, the ruling out of cause and effect in order that something, no matter what, may happen every mindo not our plots betray their oriin the planning of a circus day? I venture to affirm that in no other country can legs wriggle so swiftly, can the swinging and leaping of the trapeze performer go so alertly and firmly on. I would pit our contortionists and our hoop jumpers against those of all other lands. With equal firmness I assert that in no other drama does action follow so swiftly, so unconnectedly, as in our own.-Scrib-ner's.

Provisions of the Law. The law provides that the railroads shall pay into the state treasury the regular license fee as paid under the gross earnings system, and that when the valuation of the road is made and the assessment rate determined any exshall be paid back to the company,

and any deficiency shall be made good by the railroad company. The act was attacked by the Chicago and Northwestern Railway company. Inheritance Tax: Law Valid. The Wisconsin inheritance tax law was sustained. It imposes a tax upon every transfer of property, real or perlying within the jurisdiction of the state, made either by will or the inheritance laws of the state, or in conof the death of the owner and to take effect after his death. Transfers under power of attorney are also subject to the tax. The tax so imposed is upon the clear market value of the property at the rates imposed by law and upon the excess of exempgranted by law. Some Features of the Statute. The primary rates are imposed upon estates which exceed the exemptions allowable, and do not exceed $25,000. The primary rates range from 1 per cent, in the case of the wife, husband, lineal issue or lineal ancestor of the deceased, to 5 per cent, in the case of the most distant relatives and stranin blood. The rates of taxation are graded according to the value of the estates.

Taken Out by Surgeons, Washed and Particles of Sand Removed. Los Angeles, Cal., June 22.-To have his heart taken out and particles of sand washed from it as it beat, and still survive, has been the experience of C. A. McCartney, a Pasadena contractor. While riding a motor cycle he came in collision with a hay wagon, and a wooden rake prong pierced his breast. The surgeons found that particles of sand from the road had been driven into the wound as far as the heart. They took that organ out, washed it thoroughly and then replaced it. Othinternal injuries were attended to, the cavity in the body sewed up, and the indications are that McCartney will recover.

STRENUOUS SUFFRAGISTS

June 22.-Miss Billington, Miss Kenny and three other leaders of the militant women suffragists were arrested in Cavendish square for creata disturbance outside of Chancellor of the Exchequer Asquith's house.

or two months' imprisonment, whereshe expressed the intention of

becoming a martyr and of going to

jail. The hearing of the other cases was adjourned. The Countess of Carlisle, herself an ardrnt suffragist, referred to the affair at the meeting of the Women's Liberal Federation. She said she was shocked when passing through Cavendish square to see "sowomen suffragists fighting poand making an impertinent mockof womanhood.'"

Student Criticises Statesmen. Ann Arbor, Mich., June 22.-At the sixty-second commencement of the Uniof Michigan 824 students were given diplomas. The commencement day oration was delivered by Bliss Perry, of Boston. His subject was "Adjectives" and he criticised political thinkers and statesmen in congress for using academic maxims and argusuch as "In time of peace prefor war" and "Trade follows the flag."

"Division" In Parliament. When a division is called a bell rings to enable all M. P.'s to collect from the smoking room, the library, etc. Then the outer door is closed, and th puts the question. There is a shout of "Aye!" and of "No!" on which he declares that either the one or the other "has it." If this be challenge he says. "The 'ayes' to the right, th 'noes' to the left." This means that the "ayes" and the "noes" go into re spective lobbies. This takes some time, for they g

leisurely. When at length they are both within their respective pens all the doors leading to them are closed, and after a minute or two the one door through which the prisoners in each lobby are to make their exit is opened. Before reaching the exit they have t pass on either side of a desk at which two clerks sit and check off on a printed list of members those who vote. After this they pass in single file through the exit door, which is a few yards from this desk. Just outthis exit door stand two tellers, one representing the "ayes" and one the "noes." Their business is to call aloud one. two, three, four, and so on, as the members pass. Consequently fur each division four tellers are nectwo for the "aye" lobby and two for the "no" lobby.-London Truth.

Ways of Scotch Jnstlce One often hears comments passed upon the administration of the law by local magistrates, but while it may sometimes leave a little to be desired it is not so glaringly crude as it often was in earlier times. It is on record that the Montrose bailie, after hearing the evidence in a breach of the peace case, lined both the accused and ail the witnesses "half a croon." The witnesses naturally resented this decision, but the bailie, with his mind made up. refused to budge from the pohe had taken up and defended it with the remark: "It disna matter; he had nae business there. Half a croon apaice." The same bailie was trying another case in which a difficulty arose regardthe nonappearance of a witness. The court was informed that the witwas defunct. The magistrate, who was a self made and highly sucbusiness man and who had gained elevation to the bench solely on account of his command of "siller," had never heard that particular form applied to death and, thinking it was a legal phrase, called out in commandtones, "Bring forward the de
