BOYISH MISCHIEF HAS A LIMIT. "Boyish mischief" and "college pranks" which would not be tolerated in any other land in the world, are not only practiced in this country, but encouraged. The spirit of vandalism on the part of the South Chicago urchins which prompted tho latter to attempt the destruction of the trees in Bessemer Park, is an example of "boyish mischief" which it is safe to say would never be thought of, much less executed, by the young hopefuls of any other land or clime. Only one of the offenders was captured and he, on account of his tender years, (thirteen) was let off "with a lecture." It would be difficult to tell just what a judge should do, further than to administer the proverbial "lecture," with a culprit guilty of the mischief credited to the youth In question, albeit any boy aged thirteen who is not aware that it is ruinous to a young tree to cut "huge chunks out of the bark" should be confined in an asylum for the feeble minded. The trouble would seem to lie largely with the parents. There seems to be something in the climate which causes parents In this country to assume that children should be given first liberties and any enjoyment grown people can obtain after the youngsters have had their fling, is permissible and should bo accepted as a special favor. It is a rather noticeable fact, moreover, that the children of foreign born parents early catch the Idea that the youth of tho land occupy first place, and these are If possible more obstreperous and mischievous than true American youngsters. This in spite of the fact that their parents were reared under a stern discipline and that they themselves if foreign born had simillar training up to the time they landed in this country. Only cranks object to innocent' mischief in boys and girls, but when the "childish pranks" reach proportions that border upon crime, it is time a halt should bo called. O IT 18 SAID that the weather man must join the union. It is easy to see through it all now. The weather we have been getting for the past six months, is not union made. WITH THE UNIONS demanding that the label bo put on the weather and the country in the grip of the umbrella trust, where does the innocent bystander get off? IT IS SAID that a cowless dairy has been discovered in St. Louis That must be the successor of the treeless lemon that has been handed out so freely of late. PURDUE GRADUATED a class of 250. We may now expect to hear some expert opinions as to tho feasibility of constructing the Panama canal.

WITH THE EDITORS The Women Workers. The census returns as to the number of women engaged in gainful occupations has formed a prolific topic of discussion. Of the unmarried, widowed and divorced women of the country, nearly one-half are wholly or partly Bel f -supporting. Tho census bureau explains this as tho result of changed conditions of living, which may mean almost anything. But it is probably most largely due to the increased cost of living and the increased demand for the non-essentials of living. Dollars are now spent for appearance sake, for self-Indulgonco and self-improvement where dimes sufficed a generation ago. Men are not content with tho same wages, tho same income or the same percentage of profits. Everyone pays the penalty. If a man and his wife want a home, the same size and quality of a dwelling will cost them nearly if not quite twice as much as twenty years ago. Moreover, what they think they must have in it as furnisnings will cost as much in proportion. To make it possible to possess a home and at the same time live at the pace a false notion of appearances demand is beyond the ability of the wageearner or salaried employe. The other members of the family must help and the girls must at hast buy their own clothes and gee-gaws. The young man must remain single or ho and his bride must be renters, or more often boarders. Boarding relieves tho wife of all household cares and she avoids tho expense of motherhood to continue a wageearner, which in turn reduces the earning capacity of her husband. Yet all this forms a condition that has come to stay, and even a panic would probably retire more men from employment than women, who work for a less remuneration. Duluth News-Tribune. Governor Hughes' Veto. Apparently Governor Hughes of New York has no serious hope of becoming president. By vetoing the legislative bill which fixed a two cent passenger rate in New York state he has shocked the progressive west which has a sublime faith in the efficacy of legislation. Governor Hughes lias done the unpopular thing but he has done the right thing by acting in accordance with his convictions. In his message accompanying the veto Mr. Hughes shows that ho displays a judicial temperament. He points out that the action of the legislature was not based on an investigation; that the two cent bill wa3 passed hastily, simply for the purpose of eatlsfylng popular demand. Governor Hughes believes that the question should be thoroughly invest' -

gated and the condition of the companies ascertained before reducing the fare by statute. He believes in railroad supervision but argues that the injustices practiced by the roads do not warrant the state in acting unjustly. Tho stand taken by Governor Hughes will be applauded by conservative men who believe that not enough respect is being shown property rights in these progressive days. Tho average man will continue to argue, however, that all patrons of a railroad should be treated alike. Before the two cent fare laws went into effect all the roads were charging what they pleased for the general public and two cents a mile for the owners of the books. If furnishing transportation at two cents a mile is unprofitable there is no just reason for making the general public pay the loss. Lafayette Journal. Governor Hughes" veto of the two cent fare bill passed by the legislature of New York comes as a distinctive surprise to the country. Governor Hughes has been foremost among the prosecutors of corporations, but he insists that while he will punish them for their sins, he proposes to accord them a full measure of justice. He does not regard the two cent fare law as just, and declares the policy sustaining it to be mistaken and pregnant with disaster. The railroads appear to have found a friend in their severest chastiser and critic, and the revelation no doubt causes them to gasp in gratified amazement. The logical effect of Governor Hughes' attitude bodes no good for the two cent fare laws passed by various legislatures during the past few months. Sustained by so eminent an example as that of Governor Hughes, courts will be much more inclined to discern error in the new statutes and to proclaim them. Governor Hughes" action is the one ray of sunshine that has broken through the clouds in the railroad world for the past year. Fort "Wayne News. Gets Venom From Bees. The bees were in a glass bottle, buzzing fiercely. They rested on a very fine wire netting and below the netting was a transparent fluid. Every little while the chemist stirred them up with a toothpick and their wrath redoubled. "I am extracting their venom," said the man. "I am making them sting everythng in sight. The venom drops down through tho netting into that liquid, which is alcohol, and I make medieino of it. These angry bees, in a word, are assisting me to make medicine. 'Bees' venom 'apis, as it is called is a very good remedy for gout, rheumatism, cancer and a dozen other ailments."

Well, the old Sox certainly must have been sore at Washington and wanted to get even for losing last Saturday's game, and so they showed their nasty disposition by trimming them unmercifully to a tune of 13 to 1. Pattan, Durham and Hughes were used by the locals in their efforts to stop the hits that were tiring out the fielders and it was not until the latter was put in did the fun stop. The local infielders had twenty-nine chances and would have had more, but for the slippery condition of the field, which resulted in scratch lilts going for singles. The Sox got eighteen hits, every man on the team getting at least one, except Welday and McFarland, who were substituted after the game was won. Three scratch hits were the only bingles the Nationals were able to get off Smith. The Sox journey on to New York today where they will try to get away with a majority of the games and should have a good chance as the Highlanders' pitchers are on the Fritz for keeps. Bob Edgren says that Bill Squires is the real thing and that he is not the usual lemon handed out by the promoters from over the water. Bob saw him have a go with Joe Thomas, and the way be landed on the husky welter nearly lifted the latter off his feet. At infighting, Bob says that Squires is one ot the best in the business. Jack Curley, who also had a chance to watch the Australian in action, also started right in to tout his game, and predicts that he will knock out Tommy Burns in less than six rounds. He stated that Bill had the goods all the time and was ahead of the second string here. Did you notice the scores that the three leaders in the American League piled up yesterday. The wallop fever was in the air and the echo of the awful swats made still rings out. Chicago got 13 runs and 18 hits, the Naps got 12 runs and 14 hits from poor old Boston, and the Tigers got 16 runs and 13 hits'. That's going some, but it was mighty tough on the teams that were trimmed. However, watch the batting averages take a jump after yesterday's games. Percy Cove, the little feather weight from the coast, who is now in Harry Gilmore's stable, certainly made good

BOXING BOUTS HI CHICAGO HEIGHTS

Many Good Things on the Bills and Big Crowd is Expected to Attend. South Chicago, June 13. Chicago Heights is to have an old fashioned carnival of boxing this evening and the local fans are preparing to attend in large numbers. Entered in the various classes are some of the best boys in Chicago and the Calumet region, and the going should be right smart all the way. The lads have been faithfully training for several weeks and are ready to go into the ring fit to fight until the referee shall say enough. The bouts are to be held in Bonaths opera house and already the sale of tickets indicates that the theatre will scarcely be large enough to hold all the fans. In the 115 pound class Jimmy Kelley will step six rounds to a decision with Young McCall and both boys are aware that a win means higher honors and more contests and will go out to win by the short route. In the 125 pound class Kid Hogan and Packy Bacon will clash and in the welter weight class Ed. Johnson and Con O'Keefe will come together. In the final Young Sharkey and George KIrby, two of the best boys of their weight, 154 pounds, in this section will entertain the spectators. Kirby has been training with Tony Caponi and is in excellent shape for the encounter as is Sharkey. Twelve automobiles will leave South Chicago for the bouts and another caravan will start from Hammond. WHITTAKER WINS MEDAL. The monthly police shoot at the Lake Front yesterday was attended by only three police although there were several persons present to witness the shoot. Whittaker was successful in getting the medal with a score of 28. The following scores were made: Whittaker 28 Shine 12 Lamme ...0 Judge W. W. McMahon 5 Dave Emery 0 last night after all the nice things that have been said about him in an eight round draw at Oshkosh, Wis. He was up against Kid Wolgast, who took an awful beating from the coast lad, but who was game enough to stick It out and for that reason the referee gave him a draw. Cove showed that he is fast and can hit a good hard punch. The National Commission did a creditable thing 3-esterday when they reinstated Steve Griffin and Harry Bressler, formerly members of the Outlaw League of Pennsylvania, It is said that both players have passed beyond all possibility of ever pitching major league ball again and now they only want a chance of earning a living with some minor league. They are only on probation, however, and must report every month to the commission. The South Chicago baseball team is going to have all they can handle next Sunday in the Arions who have made a good clean-up so far this year. The Alma Mater will leave their home grounds and go to Hammond where they will line up against the Joe Long Colts in Hubbard's park as the Hammond team Is away from home. The Hammond team by the way Is just beginning to be appreciated and last Sunday's attendance was good. The western betters made a clean-up yesterday at New York and R. L. Thomas and his friends won a cool $70,000. The best thing came on Wexford In the third race and he was backed from about 15 to 1 down to 7 to 2, and the money was put in in such a way that they all got on the right end Tommy Waddell, Zambesi and Far West got dizzy in the race watching Wexford run the course. The Phillies returned to St. Louis yesterday after the rain spoiled all chances of playing the third game and felt happy that they got an even break with the Cubs. The Brooklyn trolly dodgers followed in their footsteps and will try to make a better showing than they did at the first of the year. They are going fairly well at present and will give the Cubs a run for the money Bat Nelson, arrayed in diamonds and fine clothes arrived at Los Angeles last night and after finding a good bunk went out and paid his respects to Jim Jeffries. That bout of his with Jimmy Britt on July 3. for twenty rounds does not look good to anybody and even the club to put it on, has not been an nounced yet. Decatur won a baseball game from Dubuque yesterday with one hit by a score of 1 to 0. The latter got four hits, but could not tally. The preserverance of the managers of the City of Traverse is worthy of success. A Convict Ship. Readers of "The Convict Ship" wi II be interested to know that until recentiy cne of these craft was in ex istence. The ship a few years ago was moored in the Thames, between Elackfriars and Westminster bridges. It had taken to Australia in its time lST.f'OO poor wretches exiled from England for various offenses. The vessel sank in Sydney harbor, but was later raised and sailed to England. It had 72 cells, a black hole and a chapeL Th8 ship began it3 voyages to Australia In 1787 and sailed 81 years, in which time It carried to imprisonment and exile 116,842 men and 20,319 women.

Mrs. E. M. Sellar's -Recollections

and Impressions" date back to Burns and include Dr. Brown of "Rab and Hla Friends" and Robert Louis Stevenson. Mrs. Sellar heard much of Stevenson'8 youth from his mother, who told her that when he was a lad he would sometimes go away for two days at a time, telling no one where he was going. When remonstrated with he would tell his mother that she must pay the penalty of having given birth to a tramp. Stevenson's mother also kept a scrapbook into which she pasted all the notices of him or his works that she could find. The motto of the book was: Speak wcel o' my love, Speak 111 o' my love. But be aye speaking. G. K. Chesterton's criticism of the Book of Job In the current Putman's is brilliantly audacious and calls atten tion to the fact that "Here in this Book the question is really whether God invariably punishes vice with terrestrial punishment and rewards virtue with terrestrial prosperity. If the Jews had answered that question wrong they might have lost all their after in fluence in human history. They might even have sunk down to the level of modern well educated society. For when once people have begun to believe that prosperity is the reward of virtue their next calamity is obvious. This which has happened throughout modern commerce and journalism is the alternate Nemesis of the wicked optimism of the comforters of Job. If the Jews could be saved from it the Book of Job saved them." The June Book News Monthlv is a Kate Douglas Wlggin number, in which Hamilton Wright Mabie pays a grace ful tribute to the popular writer, whom he describes as "inventive, alive in every gift and quality, overflowing with vitality, generous in thought and act, with the courage of a contagious humor and facility in graphic and telling expression. The delightful audacity of her humor, her gay badin age of some English peculiarities, &c, have been no small heln to a better understanding of those peoples who lave been estranged at times because they were serious with one another when they ought to have laughed. The London Spectator." he adds, -was not speaking at random when It classed Mrs. Riggs among the most successful ambassadors between America and Great Britain." Kate Douglas Smith was born In Philadelphia and educated in New England. From New England she went to California and founded the first free kindergarten west of the rookies. She married Samuel Bradlev Wiggan and lafte came to New York to live. After his death she niunp-d again into kindergarten work and trav x, . - eled and wrote. In 1S95 Mrs. Wlggin married George C. Rigg. and now di vldes her time between her winter home in New York and her summer home at Hollis, Me., with an annual journey to Europe. DICTIONARY OF THE DIAMOND. The game of baseball is a sport that would be simply grand But for its wealth of foolish terms so few can understand. If little pitchers have long ears, as sages old have said, Why do they cuss the umpire when they ought to bray instead? And, skillful at his catching flies, tho lizard on the wall Why does he never get a job to do it playing ball? ni. i ... . j. ne nonstop seems a Dusy man, a busy one, and not As we were taught In copy books, a simple little dot; And, funny as it may appear, they think it no disgrace To have a fellow play the game while playing off his base! They pick the fouls up off the line when none alive today. Remembers having seen a fowl that roosted in that way. And why should men be lauded while policemen clap and crow Because they sneak about awhile and steal a bag or so? The game is hard to understand. And queer proceedings that To stand out in a field and pick the hot flies off the bat! And why, aside from being there, where flies should never go. Should they be hot when everything is twelve degrees below? Dallas (Texas) News. Copper in Africa. It is believed by some that the greatest copper industry in the world will be developed in the Tanganyika region, where the properties are of great potential value, and may prove to be one of the greatest factors In carrying civilization into the heart of Africa. Much time i3 required for developments. Because of the heavy speculation in the shares these may suffer much before the properties become dividend earning. The Bengueles railway cannot well be completed for five years or so, and even the Rhodesia railways extensions are now to require a couple of years ere they can reach the property. Robert Williams is the pioneer and, in a great measure, the organizer of this vast undertaking, one of the most remarkable of modern times.

Telegraph News by Direct Wire from All Over Indiana. Muncie, Ind., June 13. That lightning not only will strike twice in the same place, but may strike a man twice in the same place without dolus; him injury, was demonstrated at the J. C. Greisholmer barber shop here in a severe electrical storm. In one of the chairs, directly beneath an electric light, was a traveling salesman, name unknown to the barbers, who was being shaved. Lightning struck the building, shinned down the wire and burned the stranger's locks, causing the odor of burning hair to permeate the place, but only giving the stranger a slight tiugliug sensation. Little Closer Than Desired. "Closer shave than I asked for, but I guess it's all right and no harm done," said tho drummer, as he settled himself back in the chair again, prepared to have the shaving operation resumed, .lust then there was another blinding Hash, and once more down the ?amo electric light wire, and to the stranger's hair jumped the lightning, blinding everybody in the room. Once more the odors of brimstone and burning hair were noticeable about the room, but the stranger was unhurt. Couldn't Stand Jt Any More. "I'll stand this tiling once, but not twice," said the lightning's victim, as he jumped, half-shaved from the chair. "I suppose I ought not to kick at having my hair singed for nothing, but this thing gets on my nerves." Then he attempted to pay his bill, and he walked from the shop with one side wearing a several days' growth of tard. It is supposed he had his shave completed at another shop.

HE WOULDN'T ACCEPT OFFICE Elected City Councilman Once He Hefeigned at Once Well-Known Business Man Dead. Brazil, Ind., June 13. John II. Lewis, for many years a well-known business man, is dead at his home in this city. He was Zo years old. Lewis was born in Monmouthshire, Wales, accompanying his parents to the United States while still a child. He came to Brazil thirty-five years ago and engaged in various business enterprises. For many years he was secretarytreasurer of the Central Iron and Steel company, of this city, retiring when the plant was sold to the Republic Iron and Steel company. Since that time he speculated in coal lane's, amassing a comfortable fortune. While one of the most popular men in the city, he always refused political preferment.

Saivadorean Troops Drive tha Marauding Rebels and Nio araguans from a Pillage. LIVELY BATTLE AT SONSONATA

Invaders Driven Back to Acajutla-Ono Leader Is Captured. He la a Citizen of the United State Zelaya'a Implication in tho Trouble. Seenn Vnquestionable. City of Mexico, June 13. Accord ing to a cablegram received in thia city from President Figueroa, of Salvador, the Salvadorean army has de tea ted the iuvading force which capt ured the port of Acajutla, and has driven them kick to the coast. One of the leaders of the invading nrniy was John Moisant, a former resident of San Francisco, and a United States citizen. He U report oil to have been captured by the force of President Figueroa. The cablegram followst "Revolutionary forces under Rivas defeated in nn attack on Sonsonata today and driven back to Acajutla. Juan Moisant reported among the captured. Heady to Invade Salvador. It is reported on good authority that troops are ready to invade Salvador from three t-ides. According to this inforuiation Generals Toledo and Alfara are on the Ilonduran lrder ready to strike and General Screa will enter the country by way of Amapala. News lieceived at Washington. Washington, June 13. The Sa!vn dorean minister here, Senor Mejia, has received a cablegram from ITesident Figueroa, dated at Kan Salvador, June 12, as follows: "Government troops met the revolutionists at Sonsonata, a town forty miles from Acajutla, and routed them.drivingthem back to Aca. jutla, where they are now trying to embark." The gunboat YoTktown Ia expeted to arrive at Acajutla tomor row. No other vessels have so far been given orders to proceed to tho scene of trouble. Zelaya Looking for Trouble. It Is positively known that TresldenW Zelaya embarked troops and war munitions at Corinto, Nicaragua, on the war vessel Momotobmo, under the orders of General Manuel Rlvas and destined to raise a revolution in Salvador. CNCLE SA3I GKOWS WEAItT Not Inclined to Bother with. Peoplw Who Violate Their Word. Washington, June 13. There appears to be little doubt that the latest revolutionary outbreak In Salvador will soon assume the form of actual warfare between that republic and tha neighboring state of Nicaragua, although within a fortnight the governments of both countries have solemnly ratified the peace treaty of Amapala, thereby obligating themselves in tha strongest terms to preserve the peace. Senor Mejia, the Salvadorean minister here, has received a cablegram from Iresident Figueroa -at San Salvador nearly Identical in term to that addressed by the Salvadorean president to his minister nt the City of Mexico, reciting the attack on Acajutla by armed officers of Nicaragua. The minister immediately communicated this information to the state department, probably in the hope that the Washington government would Intervene and restrain the N'caraguans. There is little foundation for this hope because, discouraged at the failure of the various Central American leaders to maintain in good faith the agreements they have made in the past, tha state department oSclals here, ag -well r.s those in Mexico, have about reached the conclusion to abstain for a tlma at least from any interference in Central American affairs where our home interests are not directly affected. To conserve there in the present instance the state department will request the navy department to return some of the smaller cruisers and gunboats to the scene of the disturbance to look after foreign interests. The Yorktown probably will be among the first to respond to the call. To make sure of the facts the state department addressed a cablegram to United States Minister Merry, at San Salvador, and has received this dispatch: "A Nicaragnan vessel from their principal port I undoubtedly mean, ing Corinto yesterday landed troops at Acajutia for general revolutionary purposes." Minister Mejia has received a second cablegram from President Figueroa. announcing that the revolutionlsts had ransacked Sonsonata before they were driven from the village by the government troops. The soldiers entered the custom houses, several governmental offices, the branch offices o? the Occidental end Salvadorean banks jnd many private residences. After being routed they fied to Acajutla. where the governmental offices and banks were nlo ransacked, and boarded a Nlcaraguan steamer. Heavy Theft of Jewelry. New York, June 13.
