The eighth annua! picnic of the To
r ka grocers and butchers is a thing
of the past save for the pleasant mem
ories of the occasion which will last
until the ninth one roils around, and
today the talk of the city is the suc
cess of the affaii. From early morning-
until late at night, yes until early
this morning, for it was after midnight
before the last picnicker left the park
satisfied that the day had been well
spent, the same good time prevailed.
One of the Fair Ones at the Bat.
The crowd which visited the park
during the day v.-as composed of all
kinds and classes of people and was
without douht the largest which has
ever visited Vinewocd park. It was
estimated by those who should know
fit from ten to twelve thousand, or two
or three thousand greater than the
previous record breaking crowd on the
Fourth of Juiy. Kverybody spent
tr.cuey excepting those who went there
to make it. and both classes are satis
fied with the result of the labors of the
clay, cither as a spender or collector.
Yesterday was a holiday for not only
the si'ours and butchers but most of
the city as well, for placing the esti
mate of the attendance at but slightly
over ten thousand, which is far too
low. one out of every four persons lii-
tie
big in the city was at the park
some time during the day.
All kinds of peopile were there
dressed in all clashes of costumes from
the gaudily colored mismated affairs
to the latest creations of the dress
making art. While not all languages
or races were to be seen or heard there
was a sprinkling representing the pre
dominating races. Over on a little
natural bench off to one side and as
Pearly away from the crowd as it was
possible for them to get was a crowd
of a dozen or more of the former sub
jects of the czar of Russia, and judg
ing from the conversation which they
carried on they were recent arrivals
or else making the (lay a holiday for
rehearsing their native tongue.
Course
Safe.
Everybody and their families
seemed to be at the park, and all
there for the purpose of having the
time of their lives, and there is no
doubt, but that they had it. Except
ing for the ball game between the rep
resentatives of the wholesalers and
the retailers, the morning hours were
spent "just in seeing things"' and pre
paring for the competitive events
after dinner.
Everywhere the day was a record
breaker. The figure eight. Hale's
Tours and all of the concessions on
the grounds made more money than
during any other day of their exist
ence, and as for the merry-go-round,
there were not horses. animals or
seats enough on the big machine to
accommodate the little folks who
wanted to ride. The miniature rail
road did the business of its existence
and snorted. sizzed and whistled
around the curves of the Vinewood
Short Line until after midnight.
There were those who did not care
for these attractions, and they either
strolled about the woods or lounged
about on the grass in the shade of the
big trees. There was not a nook or
corner of the park that was not ex
plored yesterday, and those who

sought quietness found it only in re
mote corners which in the past have
been left to the natives of the park.
Not only was the city ripe for the
annual affair of the butchers' and
grocers, but nature itself seemed in
tune and entered heartily into the oc
casion and furnished just the brand
of weather needed to drive the towns
people from the heat of the city to
the cool of the shady woods.
A stand had been erected to the east
of the circle swing which was used as
a kind of headquarters for the com
mittee having in charge the pro
gramme of the sports for the day.
From this the sports were directed
and the prizes awarded, and in and
about it centered the interest of a ma
jority of the more youthful portion
of the aggregation.
Car service V?s Good.
The car service to and from the
park was one of the features of the
day and demonstrated that a crowd of
almost any size can be handled with
out the least inconvenience. Fearing a
repetition of the conditions which have
existed in the past when cars were not
furnished promptly many left for their
homes early in the afternoon. But
cars crowded with people continued to
arrive until 10 o'clock and just at 9
o'clock nine cars arrived, everv one of
them crowded, and emptied their con
tents, estimated by one of the street
j car officials at five hundred people.
the park.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
mercury was well up in the thermome
ters a jolly crowd danced from early
in the afternoon until late at night in
the pavilion.
The programme for the occasion
proved to be too long and the last race
was not run until nearly 11 o'clock,
yet notwithstanding the length, inter
est never for a moment flagged and
there were from two to twenty con
testants in every event. Besides the
regular programme for the day a num
ber of special prizes were offered by

REFERS TO PATTERSON
Sajs Wealthy Young Men
Needed in Politics.
Are
Can Bo More Good With Head
Than With Hands.
Peoria, in., July 26. "I am not in
sympathy with what the press has
been pleased to call 'parlor socialism,"
nor any other kind of socialism which
contemplates the utter overthrow of
our present form of government. i
believe that this young man, Joseph
Medill Patterson, means well, that he
is honest and sincere, but that he is
not the kind of man who makes a suc
cess of farming."
In this manner Mayor Sherburn M.
Becker of Milwaukee, the youngest
mayor of a metropolitan city in the
United States, paid his respects to the
young Chicago man who a few months
ago declared himself a socialist. Mr.
Becker made his first appearance in
the role of lecturer before an audience
which filled Al Fresco park, the oc
casion being the benefit for St.
Stephen's parish.
About a week ago Mr. Patterson in
vaded Mr. Becker's city of Milwaukee,
and took occasion, among other things,
to declare that he had never done any
work in his life, and, having repented,
had decided to be a farmer. Mr. Pat
terson's views on socialism apparently
stirred up Milwaukee's young mayor.
Mr. Becker has also been accused of
never having done any work in his life,
but has made a success of practical
politics, having put down and out
Mayor David S. Rose, who was sup
posed to have a monopoly on the
mayoralty chair ot the Wisconsin city.
Mr. Becker chose for his topic, "The
Young Man in Politics," and his re
marks were delivered straight from
the shoulder.
Theorists Talk of Revolutions.
"There is great room for reform, and
we are growing better every day," con
tinued Mr. Becker. "Let us not be led
astray by the more or less attractive
pleadings of theorists who talk of rev
olutions. These things come to us prin
cipally through the agency of men who
have made a failure of life in some
country other than our own. and who
would be dissatisfied, I believe, no mat
ter what the conditions might be.
"The idle rich young man, with pro
per training, has great opportunities in
all the honorable professions the
church, medicine, the law, the newspa
per office, literature, art. If he will
identify himself with any one of these
be will be producing something, and
will be a workingman in every sense
that the word implies. The man who
shovels in the street or plows in the
field is not the only producer and he is
not the only min who toils. I could tell
you, were I not too modest, of at least
one mayor who works hard, and who is
known to have labored far into the
night for days and weeks, that he might
fit himself for the laborious duties of
his office.
"A few weeks ago there came to Mil
waukee a young parlor socialist who
informed his hearers in a public ad
dress that he had been Idle for vears:
that he produced nothing, and that he
naa no object in lire except to spend
the money earned by labor, and which
did not rightfully belong to him. When
I read his address in a paper I felt like
saying to him. 'Go to work. You have
the ability and you are needed stop
talking and do something. Get out of
the parlors of the rich, if you think you
belong somewhere else.' And it struck
me that a desk In a bank or a news
paper office would be a good place for
him. Now I am informed that he is to
take a course in agriculture and raise
cabbages and turnips.
Sufnrests Pen Instead of Farm.
"Mr. Patterson has, I understand, the
advantages of a college education and
the good breeding th8t goes with it. He
was trained in the school of journalism
and is an able correspondent and re
porter. Then why should he go to the
farm to milk cows or sow grain? Why
cannot he do good in the world with his
pen? He can produce something with
that, as well as others can produce
something with the plow or the corn
planter. But he probably Imagines that
he must do manual labor, and toil with
calloused hands. He is mistaken.
"We need Intelligent young men in in
tellectual pursuits to help guide us fn
the right direction. We need brains as
well as muscle, and we must have them.
It is within the power of the rich young
man to do his country great service.
He is not handicapped with poverty and.
therefore, tempted to be a grafter while
in office. His ambition is not to make
money, but to make a name for himself.
"Frequently when young men are can
didates for public office opponents attack
them on account of their youth. This
was my experience last spring when I
ran for mayor. It was my experience
two years ago when I ran for alderman,
and it was my experience five years ago
when I ran for county supervisor, but I
was elected every time by good, com
fortable majorities."
To Koroe Settlement of S. P. Strike.
New Orleans. July 26. An attempt
to bring the interstate commerce laws
to bear in forcing a settlement of the
strike declared yesterday by the 500
car repairers, and their helpers of the
Southern Pacific in this state has been
announced. First Vice President M. F.
Ryan of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Carmen announced that he had wired
the secretary of the interstate com
merce commission claiming that the
Southern Pacific Is violating a pro
vision of the interstate commerce law
by failure to have proper expert in
spection of safety appliances of cars
running out of this state. Strikers
claim that the Southern Pacific can
not hire competent men to flll the
places of safety appliance men who
walked out.
On Trail of Cancer Germ.
London. July 26. As the result of ex
periments with mice, the superintendent
of the Imperial cancer research fund
laboratory, announced today at a meet
ing of the subscribers to the fund that
the prospects of discovering the mystery
of the origin of cancer were more hope
ful than ever. Experts, he said, are
now able to reproduce in mice all the
features of spontaneous cancer and to
protect healthy mice from the conse
quences by Inoculation. The superin
tendent said the experiments must be
carried further before it can be ascer
tained whether they will have a bearing

DYS AMITE EMPTIES A CAK.
Laborer Enlightens Neighbor and Pas
sengers Scramble to Street.
New York, July 26. A score of pas
sengers, many of them women, fled
from a street car in record time last
night upon learning that a laborer,
carefully holding a mysterious looking
package, was handling enough dyna
mite to blow them all Into another
world.
He boarded a lordham avenue car
at Tremont avenue and took a front
seat, placing the parcel beside him.
More passengers entered and the
man took every care In moving the
bundle from the seat to his lap. His
actions aroused the curiosity of the
man who took the seat beside him.
"What you got?" he Inquired.
"Dynamite." the man replied.
The other bolted down the aisle.
"There's dynamite aboard!" he
cried.
Men and women piled off after him.
The motorman. attracted by the con
fusion, looked around and brought the
car to a stop. But by that time there
was only one passenger on board he
with the parcel.
He was approached cautiously by the
conductor and asked to get off. He did
so when his money was returned.

Chicago: As a result of the shortage
in grass all throusrh this territory the
price (if hay has advanced $4 per ton in
the last week.
Chicago: Wheat opens easier on more
favcrai in the northwest and an in
creased crop movement from the south
west. Good buying of December wheat
at the decline.
Chicago: Hay sold today at $30 per ton.
an advanc of $4 pr ton in a wek.
With hay selling at $20 a ton. oa,ts $23 a
ton and wli'-al ?25 a ton wneat lcok
pretty cheap.
Chicago: Winnipeg wirs red rust is
very bad s t many points in Manitoba nnd
has been spreading rapidly this week.
There is noiig'h already to cause a
shrinkage in the yield. Aside from ruft
prospects were for a crop 20 per cent
more thsn last yar. ,
New Ynrk: It looks like there is quiet
selling all over th"- room. Amalgamated
Copper. St. Paul. U. P. and Pennsylvania
are being sold freely whenever thy are

letting out few through underground
channels.

Wall St.. New York. July 28. STOCKS
The opening dealings in the stock market
today wer3 active and widely distributed
and at substantial gains in the ma.iority
of stocks. Southern Pacific was the no
table exception and fll an extreme point
on running sales at the opening. St. Paul
and Norfolk and Weptern rose about a
point, and Atchison. Reading. Delaware
and Hudson and Amalgamated Copper
lare fractions.
11"" first hour's business showed activi
ty and variety and strength developed tit
different points than yesterdav. South
ern Pacific. Lnion Pacific and St. Paul
showed evidence of realizing sale, th
two last named falltna: hack to lat nlo-Vit
i level.
The market developed an Irregular ten
dency during the second hour. The ri.se
of a point in C. S. Steel did not prevent
St. Paul from sagging to below last night
under the process of profit-taking. Oth
er stocks which were strong vesterdav
were similarly affected. The market had
become vry dull at noon.
Bonds were heavy.
The market came to a standstill, stocks
holding their advances, but reactionary
issues showing no recovery. Deahngs do
creased to nominal proportions.
St. Paul ran off 1 points below 10.
and increased the disinclination of oper
ators to take on stocks. Prices elsewhere
sagged moderately, but the dealings were
profoundly duil.
