tions have been secured in ever)
case. A majority of these were sent
to the penitentiary, wh.le others
have gone to the workhouse, and in
the case of boys, to the house of cor-
rection. The court is now m recess,
but after the holidays the others in-
dicted will be placed on trial, and
the authorities believe they have evi-
dence to secure convictions in every
case. One of the men indicted is a
member of the city council, but if
his guilt is proven his influence will
not be sufficient to save him. What
other city has ever established such
a record? There have been riots
and lynchings both North and
South, but nowhere else has the law
been meted out with so stern a
hand1. It seems to me that it is now
due to us that the people acknowl-
edge that Akron is not the law-de-
fying community it was represented
to be at the time of the riot."

For Meilicine's Sake.
In a recent address to the stu-
dents attending his course of gyne-
cology Professor Friedrich Schanta
of Vienna expressed the opinion that
law and other professions should be
thrown open to women, because at
present too mariv of them crowd into
medicinc. for which few were fitted.
Of every 100 female medical stu-
dents, he said, only thirty-three be-
came physicians, the others being in-
capacitated by the horrors of the dis-
secting room and other impediments.

In a recent sermon Bishop Potter

Finally Mr. Tweed hitched up his

Cities and street Rail 11179*
The street railway franchise ques-
tion is occupying the attention of
two Ohio cities. The Cleveland city
railway has made a proposal cm-
bracing the following: The pay-
ment of $200,000 in cash to the city,
the granting of transfers on all tick-
ets, the sale of six tickets for a quar-
ter, and the payment to the city of
a graduated percentage of the entire
gross receipts, beginning with 2 per
cent and increasing to 5 per cent for
the last ten years of the twenty-five
year franchise. This proposal the
city has rejected, meaning to get bet-
ter terms. Columbus, also about to
make terms with the street railway |in.
company, finds that the proposal
that Cleveland rejects is better than
any the Columbus railway company
has made that city.
Colonel"Dick's "PUes."
"Speaking of the hazing yarns re-
garding young Sheridan having to
read 'Sheridan Twenty Miles Away'
and Cadet Hobson being forced to
recite newspaper accounts of his
brother's heroism," said Colonel
Dick, the well known Ohio politician,
in Washington the other day, "re-
minds me of an experience of my
own. When 1 was in school 1 was
made to read that old First Reader
poem beginning, 'Dick, Dick, my
pet, are you sick?' before breakfast,
dinner and supper. I had to go
through the motions of a girl bewail-
ing that her pet bird was about to
die or I did not eat. Then I had to
learn it backwards, and before I was
fully initiated I could1 repeat it word
for word from both end# or from the
middle.
A Ten Toper.
"There is a man in our company,"
says a Philadelphia stage manager,
"who hasn't drank a drop of water
in twenty-seven years. He boasts
of it. He is always the first man
into the theater for a performance,
and is as regular as clockwork at re-
hearsals. No, he isn't a 'rummy.
In fact, liquor is most repugnant to
him. But for twenty-seven years
he will probably continue in his
he has drunk nothing but tea, and
present course until he dies. He
carries his little portable gas ar-
rangement about with him, and be-
tween the acts lie makes a strong tea
—the strongest you ever tasted—in
his dressing room', attaching his
little heater to the gas fixture with a
rubber tsbe. When this is impossi-
ble he carries a bottle of cold tea in
his pocket, and when on a long run
on the train the other members of
the company are yearning for a
drink the old man just pulls out his
bottle of cold tea and is happy."
Unjust lo the Yonng Soldiers.
Soldiers of the recent war with
Spain are not recognized' as veterans
by the Massachusetts State Soldiers'
home, at Chelsea. The case that has
brought this decision is that of a
private now dying from consump-
tion. He has been rejected by the
service hospitals, as he has been
mustered out, so it looks as if he
would have to die in an almshouse.
Governor Crane is ready to make
tome recommendations for the cor-
rection of this state of affairs. The
trustees say this decision is to be
enforced by all similar institutions
throughout the country.
