A TRAGEDY LESSON.
The recent tragedy in this city, where a
ponng man was shot down in the street by
i woman who was driven to desperation by
lis calumnies, carries with it a strong moral
lesson, which, if studied by a certain class
!if young men. will bear good results. We re
let - to that class which comes under the head
generally denominated the "masher."' The
masher is a fellow who is so stuck on himself
that he imagines in his vain conceit every
woman, falls in love with him. He is gen
erally a young man, but occasionally he has
a bald head.' and a gray mustache. He is
usually found on the street corner on pretty
afternoons or at the theater in the evening,
and is always posing in a manner to attract
attention. Unfortunately for him there is
a class of silly women whose fondness for
admiration and susceptibility to flattery en
courage him to believe that his mashing oc
cupation is a success. The result of the en
couragement he receives from this class of
women confirms the shallow-brained
masher in the belief that there is no virtue
in womankind. He becomes infatuated
with the conceit that all he has to do is to
single out his victim and follow her up until
he has her within the meshes of his fas
cinating power. An occasional cowhtding
as a punishment for his impertinence
from some father, husband or brother
may check the masher in his
disreputable career, but it doesn't end it.
He merely transfers bis operations to an
other field. But when, as it now and then
occurs, he comes in contact with a woman
who regards her honor as of higher value
than her life, his career is brought to a
tragic ending which imparts a wholesome
lesson to others of his class. The moral of
it is that the grea> mass of womankind are
virtuous, and the man who holds a different
view is not only the dupe of his own de
based conceit, but he is actually an enemy
to society. The man who wins the love of
one true woman has accomplished a worthy
object. But the wretch whose ambition is
to be a promiscuous heart smasher has no
place in this civilization. The sooner the
world is rid of him the better for human
society. Youne men who are inclined to
hold female virtue in light respect will read
the story of the tragedy which occurred on
our streets with a different impression from
what they have hitherto had. They will
learn that it is dangerous to trifle with a
true woman's honor. They will also learn
in what light esteem they themselves are
held in public opinion. The witless masher
and the silly flirt are the two people who
are wholly responsible for these tragedies
which every now and then shock communi
ties.
■
A SOUTHERN BOOM,
While the entire country seems to be
enjoying a season of prosperity just now,
the West and South particularly are, in the
vernacular of the real estate agent, fairly
♦•booming." The South seems to have
awakened to a new life. Its industries
have been doubled, its resources developed
and its population increased. Prosperity
blooms on every side and the new South of
to-day is setting an example of progress
and energy of which the old South never
dreamed. Incidental with the boom an
1 earnest effort is being made throughout the
South to induce farmers to take up lands,
and exceedingly favorable propositions are
made this class of immigrants. The South is
wise in recognizing that the farming ele
ment is the backbone of any country and
doubtless the cordial invitation she extends
will be generously responded to. But
there is no apparent reason why
the West should regard this attempt
to divert immigration southward, with
alarm as some journals seem to think. It is
to the advantage of every section of the
country to have every other section prosper
ous. Each shares in the other's good fort
une. The Northwest is being settled with
a rapidity that cannot be seriously affected
by the generous offers of Southern land
holders, for great as the opportunities
doubtless are in the South, there will al
ways be enough [.people who prefer the more
Invigorating climate and the more marked
spirit of enterprise in the. Northwest" to
prevent the stream of immigration now
flowing in this direction to slacken. The
-South grows with the Northwest, not at its*
expense, and Northwestern people can well
afford to wish their Southern brethren a"
continuance of the -prosperity which now
appears to be theirs.
NEWPORT'S NEW MISSION. '
- Newport, the famous watering place, has
a new mission beside entertaining wealthy
summer idlers, It seems that the laws of
Rhode" Island are particularly lax with
reference to the granting of divorces, anil
in this fact mismated . couples lind their op
portunity. It is only necessary for either
party to go to Newport for a short length •
of time, bring suit, and the divorce is
granted on the most trivial grounds. Thus
far the members of New York swelldown,
who have tumid their matrimonial chains
galling, have chiefly taken advantage of the
ease with which divorces can be obtained
in Newport ' The New York law properly
makes the obtaining of a divorce impossi
ble, except for the gravest reasons, and
consequently Newport has become a fash
ionable resort at other seasons than during
the summer. Chicago's prestige as tlie
great divorce mill of the country is in
danger of being lost, but it is a distinction
that the West can well afford to lose. There
exists an ever increasing necessity for uni
form divorce laws hi this country, and if
the states, like Illinois and Rhode Island
are dilatory about moving in the matter,
legislation, national in its character, should
be brought into operation. Matrimony
should not be regarded as a thing to be put
on and off like an old glove, and the laws
of the country should make it impossible to
consider it in that light. Newport's new'
mission is one that does her no credit.
Till: PROHIBITION FAILURE.
Michigan has escaped prohibition, but by
a very tight squeeze, The olose vote will
probably encourage the Prohibitionists to
renew the ligut and the future politics of
that state will bo badly mixed up until this
question is finally eliminated. The Mich
igan Prohibitionists had trusted their fort
unes to Republican guidance. The result
demonstrates to them, what Gov. St. John
has been telling them all along, that there
was no reliance to bo placed in the Repub
lican party when a temperance issue is at
stake. The Michigan election will likely
result in widening the breach between the
Republicans and the out and out Prohibi
tionists. The only motive that the Repub- I
lican party has in its temperance profes
sions is to keep the Prohibitionists ib the
Republican ranks. That fact is becoming
so apparent that the Prohibitionists are be
ginning to see it,, and hereafter they will
take more pains to keep their organization |
out of the clutches of the Republican lead
era.

STRAY SUNBEAMS.
A gentleman who recently visited President
Cleveland at Oak View.his country residence
near Washington, says that Mrs. Cleveland
is the ideal wife of a truly Democratic presi
dent. She is gracious and kindly in her man
ner, and welcomes the coming and speeds the
parting guest with a kindliness which has
nothing of affectation in it, and with a digui
fled womanliness which makes the shortest
visit a pleasurable incident in one's experi
ence.

The president's country house is about two
miles north of the city limits and is beauti
fully situated. It sets back from the high
way some four or five hundred feet on an
elevation in the midst of a grove of oak
trees. The capitol and the principal build
ings of the city are plainly visible from the
house. -
***
It is amusing to observe to what an extent
the New York newspapers concern them
selves about everything that relates to the
president's comfort. Siuce Mr. Cleveland
has taken to horseback riding the leading
metropolitan papers aro In a serious quarrel
as to what kind of a gaited horse the chief
magistrate of this great nation should stride.
The Sun says that the trot is an indispensable
element iv a good saddle-horse, and advices
the president to tabboo '• "single looters."
The Herald comes to the defense of the \ fav
orite Kentucky gait, which is looked upon in
the Southwest as the easiest and most grace
ful for a rider.

It ail depends upon what the president ex
pects to accomplish .by bis equestrian ex
perience as to what sort of a horse he ought
to ride. ; If be is looking for a horse that
combines beauty with easy movement, then
he ought to provide himself with a Minnesota
thoroughbred. If he wants to go splitting

FEESS OPINIONS.
Captivating Mrs. Bishop.
Mandan (Dak). Pioneer.
Mrs. Irving Bishop, wife of the mind reader
who is performing so many wonderful mind
reading feats in the East, stopped some time
in Bismarck last summer. Her name . was
then Miss Mack. A correspondent writing of
her says:
"Miss Mack became to Bismarck what the
Marchioness De Mores has for several years
been to Medora nnd the Dad Lands, the ideal
of womanhood to the hardy men who watch
the cattle on the plains. Hers was a familiar
figure in the Capital City and at Fort Lincoln,
across the river, and many of the gallant
officers at the fort joined the ranks of her
admirers. But a young lawyer of Bismarck
became the favorite at the ranch,
and it was remarked that he had
won the heart of the dashing young
widow. The rumor became a certainty and
the announcement, though not officially, was
made that a quiet wedding would be cele
brated in Bismarck in the fall. The young man
accepted the congratulations of his less fortu
nate friends, and just when the wedding bells
were about to ring a telegram called Miss
Mack to Boston to attend her mother, who.
was reported dying. A hurried departure
and the beautiful Miss Mack was on her wav
to Boston, while the lover's friends expressed
their sympathies over the delay of his wed
ding day. It was a surprised lot of people in
Bismarck that read of Miss Mack's mar
riage to Mind Reader Bishop a few weeks
later. But the discarded lover smiled se
renely, and if she goes back to Bismarck, as
some of the dispatches intimate she will, we'll
have a wedding yet." .... .-.:,> '- , .yy
It Was Really a Curse.
Winona Republican.
It is stated that the St. Paul men who went
up to Ashland to take a hand in the real es
tate boom there lost in - the aggregate from
$25,000 to $30,000. A few made money. The
option dealers have been taught an expensive
lesson, but they have acquired a large amount
of experience. One St Paul option dealer
dropped nearly $10,000 as earnest money on
short contracts for property bought at prices
aggregatinz $200,000, for which he could not
close. The freezing out of the option dealers
has placed business on- a more legitimate
basis, but as a matter of fact Ashland will
not get over the foolish craze caused by the
real estate gamblers for a good while to come.
It was really a curse to the town. *
Fine the City Sportsman.
St. James Journal. y y.V-
The St. Paul and Minneapolis sports have
rather got the gouge on their country
brethren. There should have been a clause
in the game laws prohibiting city sportsmen
running over the country in season and mak
ing a general slaughter of game. They do
more work in season to clean out game than'
the country sportsmen can possibly do hunt
•ing from early in the spring to late in the fall,
killing hundreds of birds every day, a large
per cent, of which are never eaten. No city
gun club chap should be allowed to kill more
than five birds in one day.making the penalty
$100 for each bird in excess of that number.

Buying Their Own Booms.

The towns like ; Ashland which 'are having

residents. No : one, has faith like a resident,

at a big advance aud tho scalpers take their

question nutut ally arises whether a man is

scalper Is certainly $500 ahead, but there is
some doubt about the owuer of the lam).

It's always amusing to hear a herring talk

it had not been tied to the head of the Mis -

prattles about Duluth going into its hole
seven months in each year and drawing the
hole after it. Pray where is St. Paul all that
time? One would think 'it was situated at
Cape Horn with three oceans around it.

If F. R. Welz, who succeeds Col. Allen at

lost so much as many might feel in the
change, although it takes a mighty big dia

LIVING ON $15 A WEEK.
An Income of $7 GO a Year Sustain*
. Four People.
Struggles of a Clerk 'to Make Both
Ends Meet on Small Salary.
New York Journal.
I "I know there are men who are worse
off." was the remark of a store clerk a day
or two ago, "and that 1 ought to be thank
ful that 1 have 'good health and am in
steady employment; but $15 is the closest
possible work for a family of four persons,
I can tell you, and it makes me envious,
indeed, when 1 think how comfortable I
could be if I only had $5 more. I live up
to my wages and can not help it."
There are so many men in various occu
pations who Jive up to very much larger
salaries that some curiosity was expressed
as to how the lil'teen-dollars-a-week clerk
managed not to live beyond his, and yet
support a wife and two little children, aged
4 and 8 respectively. To a ' Philadelphia
Press reporter he explained in a general <
way: . ,
"lam not going to tell you how I mar
ried on §12 a week, and boarded until my .
second child was born, and then got a raise
of Wages to $15. That's neither here nor
there. What I discovered was that people
did not like children in a boarding-house,
and I began to wonder what on earth 1 was
to do. However, my wife's uncle came to
our rescue. lie suggested we should take a
little house way down town and he would
furnish it for us. There are plenty of nice
little live or six-roomed residences at the
extremes of the city, on streets that are
perfectly respectable and genteel, and the
rent only Slo or S l2 a month. I got one
for 92 50 a week— bed-rooms, kitchen,
parlor, sitting-room and bath room. Uncle
George was as good as his word, but it took
all the hundred odd dollars I had saved
while boarding to buy kitchen things and
linen and a picture or so for the bate walls.
Then we went .to housekeeping in real
earnest.
"Now, you must understand that poor
people like us have to live for the sake of
living. The wife must be able and willing
to wash all the clothes, do all the housework,
bake the bread and be handy with the
needle in the way of making over old
clothes for the children. The husband must
walk backward and forward from his work;
must drink and smoke either nut at all or
only on rare occasions, and lind all bis
amusement and happiness in his children
and wife. It is very much like slaving for
a crust and a sup. lots of people say, and
no doubt you have to be born with a tem
perament which can be cheerful in poverty.
I think I was. But to get back to my
housekeeping.
"Coal and light cost me SI a week, sum
mer and winter together. We only have
two fires, one in the" kitchen and one in the
Sitting-room. Our kitchen is very com
fortable, so we often sit there. Bread costs
us 50 cents a week; that is, the flour, etc..
cost about that amount. Our milk bill
runs into 70 cents, as the children want a
glass or so at meals. Butter and groceries
never exceed $2, vegetables Si. and meat
another $2. Then we use about 50 cents for
eggs. As for clothes, 1 put myself down
for $50 a year, including boots. I buy
serviceable things, and I always wear my
oldest about the - house. Another $50
clothes my wife and children, with $20
more for their hats and shoes. Then I
want $20 a year for doctor and medicine,
and my expenditures will foot up as fol
lows:
Rent $2.50

tow UUU 6IWS §120 > 3.00
Doctor and medicine. .'. 20 I
Sundries per year .....'. 16 J
Total ,13.20
"As you will see by the table, I still have
$1.80 left out of my §15, even after allow
ing §16 for sundries, which 1 have made
that sum so as to balance my figures. That
910 represents wear and tear of furniture.
Breakage, some little extra luxuries, say on
a birthday or wedding anniversary, an extra
pair of shoes and a hundred other wants.
The 81.80 over, sometimes a quarter less
or more, according as the weeks goes, is
the fund out of which Ipav2o cents a week
insurance, buy a little beer and tobacco and
an occasional trifle for my wife.
"My wife will tell you that we waste
nothing. Of course we never get the best
parts of meat She buys soup and stewing
pieces and only a small roast or a piece of
steak or chops for Sunday. She does a
good deal of baking in the wav of cakes
for the children, and they seem" to thrive all
ritrht on plenty of mush, rice or bread and
molasses. We sometimes get a little
country life, because I have relatives who
own a large farm in Delaware, and a bank
belonging to the baby supplies us with
junkets to the park now and then and a
visit to a 10-cent theater. By the way, I
have not mentioned ice. AYe manage to
get on without it except on very warm days
in summer, as we have a cool, deep cellar
to our house. When we must have ice it
comes out of 'sundries.' "

a statement of account given to Keene in
January, 1880. This was a final account,
and was sent to Keene with a letter and
check showing a balance in the latter's
favor of §136. Young never knew that
Keene called at the office to get any state
ment In response to his request, the firm
had returned him about §30.000. Keene
wanted more, but the firm refused it until
the final accounting. Young never heard
of any other arrangement than the written
agreement. Other testimony corroborating
this. was given. Receiver Leonard stated
that he was aware that another suit in

was pending when he instituted this action.

cents au hour pay and a full recognition of

ized labor. The proposition of the em
ployers was to concede eight hours and
make 30 cents an hour the" minimum pay,
with grades above, but not to recognize
anything but the individual rights of the
men. All the carpenters in Hyde Park to
the number of 200 struck at noon to-day
for 35 cents an hour. A short time ago the
rate was raised from 27 to 31 cents an hour,
and they agreed to work at that rate for
one year. They struck to-day out of sym
pathy for the carpenters in Chicago. .

Special to the Globe. -
Madison, Wis.. April 7.'— The bill mak
ing corporations liable for injuries to em
ployes through negligence of co-employes,
was the special order In the assembly this
morning. The . bill, as originally intro
duced, . referred to railroad corporations
only, but the committee on judiciary offered
a substitute making it apply to all corpora
tions. After a good deal of talk the sub
stitute was , passed ; and the original bill
killed. This evening there was an exhaust
ive discussion over two bills introduced by
Mr. Taylor; one providing for the abolition
of the jury system in civil cases, and the
other proposing an amendment to the con
stitution -.whereby a majority of the jury
might ; render a verdict. The first was in
definitely postponed, after which the au
thor made a hard but unavailing effort to
secure the adoption of the other. A bill ol
interest in the northwestern part of the
state, authorizing the improvement of Dev
il's creek, iv Sawyer county, lias been be
fore the governor and attempts made to se
cure his veto; the attempt succeeding, how«
ever, in only preventing his signature,
which virtually makes the bill a law. The
house passed bills:
Appropriating a sum not exceeding $100,
--000 to purchase ground for the state agricul
tural society in Milwaukee couuty: prohibit-
Ing the deposit of saw dust In trout brooks by
portable mills. The senate concurred in the
bill punishing the killing of birds for millinery
purposes by a maximum fine of 100, ulso,
bills requiring that town treasures withhold
a portion of the school fund. income for tho
purpose of establishing libraries: punishing
the altering of election tickets by election in
spectors at the request ofanv voter or dis
closing the way any elector has voted by a
fine or $100. It also passed bills: Providing
for change of venue in bastardy cases when
predjudice would interfere with a fair trial;
authorizing circuit judges to appoint three
court commissioners in eacn county of their
circuit to act during their absence.
The joint committee on apportionment
to-day made its report with regard to as
sembly districts. The bill reported is by no
means cheerful to Democrats. It will give
them about one-fourth of the members in
the lower house and if it passes the Demo
crats claim that it will place them in a
lower position than they have ever before

Small-Pox in Chicago.
Chicago, April 7.— Dr. Montgomery,
medical inspector of the West division, re
ported to the health department this morn
ing a case of small-pox at No. 46 North
Carpenter street. The patient is an Italian
laborer named Joseph Casselli. who is one
of ninety emigrants who arrived in Chicago,/
April 1, from New York. They came over
in the Anchor line steamer Alsa.ia.wU_i'
600 or 700 other Italian immigrants. Two,
cases of small-pox broke out on board of
the vessel, and when it arrived in New
York it was quarantined a day and a night,
when most of the passengers were allowed
to land. Casselli and about ninety of his
companions came to Chicago and scattered
through the city. The house at No. 46
Carpenter street has been quarantined, arid
every effort will be made by the authorities
to prevent the spread of the disease.

manufacturers of the country have per-

ble uneasiness of late among them, and al
though they have been running, they claim
that the market is over stocked and that
they are running at a loss. The United
Barb Wire company, a national concern to
which all the manufacturers belong, pro
poses to lease all the plants they can at 82
per ton a year on their licensed tonnage, or
$2.50 ou the tonnage shipped iv ISS6,' with.
1 percent, of the value of the plants added
for three years and close them up. '' ,It Is

replies favorable to the proposition have

The Eastern Combine.
Chicago,- April 7. The Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy railroad officers claimed
to-day they had received notice from the
New York Central that the Burlington
tickets had been withdrawn from sale.
This would indicate that all the Eastern
lines were now- engaged in the boycott
against the Western roads for refusing to
stop paying commissions in the East. The
officers of the boycotted Western roads say
the boycott will have little effect on their
revenues. The passensrer earnings of the
Western roads derived from travel originat
ing east of this point and ticketed west is
said to be but a small percentage of the
total, probably in the aggregate not 3 per
cent., and even of this the boycotted lines
profess to be able to capture very nearly
their full share, the influence of the Eastern
combine to the contrary notwithstanding.
