It Is claimed that the Sultan of Sulu treats his wlvea well. The main trou­ ble teems to be that It's such a whole­ sale treat A clergyman has been trying an ex­ periment similar to that tried by Wal­ ter Wyekoff, author of “The Work­ ers.\ The clergyman’s Idea was to llud out why the laboring mau does not go to cuurch as a rule. He says he found out on the first prayer meeting night after he began to work In a factory, for he tumbled Into bed and to sleep aud forgot what duy It was. Probably the most colossal mistake !n recent criminal annals was mnde by a New York burglar the other day. He went Into a dressmaking establish­ ment tn broad daylight, where twenty Women were working and tried to plunder the premises. As a simple matter of course and a natural conse­ quence the women fell upon him with hat pins, Jabbed him till he closely resembled a porous plaster and banded him over to a policeman. The records In even a city like Chicago teetji with captures of foolish burglars by women single handed. What fate could he ex­ pected for the man who deliberately Invaded a house tilled with twenty women, every one of the twenty hav­ ing her hat pin handy? A girl In a New England factory Wrote her name several mouths ago on a bolt of cotton. Itecently she received • letter from a woman in Arizona say­ ing that the cloth had been bought by the Government, and was being cut up for garment* tn an Apache Indian school. It Is but a few years ago that the Apaches thought more of taking scalps than of schools In which shirt- making is done. While the mill girl's act elicited thle striking comparison, It waa an act to lie unhesitatingly con­ demned, A gift's uame bo represents herself that to have it tightly handled about In writing, or In public convey­ ances, or in the mouths of strangers, reflects meretriciously upon tier char­ acter. llad the bolt of cotton fallen Into unscruplous hands, the letter Bent from Arizona might have been any­ thing but pleasing to the thoughtless recipient. Woman Is steadily making her way la the business and professional world, and has become so large a factor that many sociologists are alarmed at the situation. The young woman t8 crowd­ ing out the young man In many ave- nnea of activity. The Government ser­ vice is no exception. The bureso of ethnology at Washington has two wom­ en ethnologists. The lobster and crab expert of the Smithsonian Instltetlon Is a woman; the most r<*p:>eted author­ ity oa mammals In the National Muse­ um la a woman; so is the most skilled entomologist, and the chief librarian of public documents. The Burean of American Republic*, not king since, wanted translators and instituted ex­ aminations in order to get the best. Twe slips of girls won the prize and are now getting $2,400 a year. Besides these, many clerical positions are filled by women to the satisfaction of the ebtsfa of their department*.

The-people have ama'J sympathy with rogue*; heads the comparative In­ f e r e n c e with which they have aeea the practice grow up among policemen of freely using their revolver* when seeking to “bring to” an escaping a as­ pect. But n great many Innocent peo­ ple, when threatened with arrest, es­ pecially when found In w hat they knbw to be compromising, though per­ haps easily explainable, situations lose their self-possession and ran. To send a bullet In pursuit may sometimes cost the life of a valuable citizen. Even If none but rogues run away, however, it Is not for the policeman to, put life In peril by the use of bis revolver. The only circumstances where Its use Is Justified are those where the police­ man’s own life or that of another Is In Immediate peril from a ruffian whose arrest Is sought. The peril must not be merely fancied or constructive, but actual and deadly. Otherwise the otfi cer Is amenable as much as a private citizen for any loss of life which may follow the use of his weapon. The sooner these facts shall be brougbt home to the understanding of police­ men everywhere the better It will be. The great demand for labor In the West sharply defines the tramp’s labor policy.

Mr. Gladstone Is quoted as saylug: \The laborer has his legitimate, his accessary, his hon­ orable and honored place In God's cre­ ation; but In all God's crcatlou there Is no place appointed for the Idle wealthy man.\ Of all nationalities! It Is hardest for the American to he Id e. Ills active brain and his native energy force him to activity, aud while the wealthy class of Europeans have learned how to en­ joy a life of pleasure without enuul, the American has not yet acquired this art. From sheer mental restlessness, he goes ou heaping up riches, never asklug who shall gather them. To be sure, there are scores of exceptions to this rule, as the most costly and complete tinkers]- ties, schools, colleges, hospitals, libra Hes and art museums of this couutry amply bear witness; yet lu many cases even these geuerous donum still huve a surplus greater than they or tholi heirs can ever use. What Is wealth? A few hundreds of thousands can supply every human desire for comfort and luxury. Then why devote life, heart and soul to the accumulation of for­ tunes which will never be put to prac­ tical use? Is such a course lu any way different from that pursued by the ui.'eer whose chief occupation and dear est pleasure lies lu counting his hoardl Frederic Harrison, a few years ago, called attention to the public services of the rich men of Athena lu Its goldeu days, by providing games and feasts, rearing temples, liaths and aqueduct* and furnishing to Its people, social, lit erary and esthetic enjoymeut, thus crowning their city with the light ot an undying glory. It Is said that muulel polities seldom succeed lu a movement for public adornment. To be effectual the work must lie undertaken and car­ ried on by private Individuals. Let the unemployed rich, who have dear heads to plan, unite with the unemployed poor, who have willing hands to exe­ cute, and what a perfect combination we shall have for rearing enduring works of beneficence.

It Is not known yet whether his father In hla displeasure over bis marriage hat cut him off with only a tew millions, or whether the second son, Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, how on a tour of the world, comes Into the greater part of the Immense fortune. The third son, Reginald. Is living, and there are two daughters, Gertrude, married to Harry Payue YVbltney, and Gladys, who re­ cently made her debut In society. There waa nothing showy about Mr. Vanderbilt. He dressed simply and wltb modest taste. He was an elder In St. Bartholomew's Cburcb and very T - o i IIE Rowland boys were tbe ter­ ror of all tbe other residents tn the big city apartment building to which they had lately been trans­ planted from the couutry. But for the fact that Mr. Rowland was part owner of the Boylstau Flats his sons would not huve been tolerated In them for an tnstuut. Not that either Teddy or Oliver In­ tended to he troublesome to those around them; they were merely two active, healthy boys, accustomed to fields, woods and the open country, rnther than prim corridors, spotless marble stair cases, aud never a place to play.

Six months afterward a man, armed to the teeth appeared tn Thurston's office. \Be you Squire Thurston?\ \Yes.” \Be you the man that defended Jack Bailey at court?\ The Senator, thinking bis last boui was come, again answered, \Yes.\ \Well I'm Jack Bailey's parduer, aud I’ve come to pay yuu. I haven’t got any money, but I'm a man of hon­ or, Anybody In town you don’t like?’ As the Senator smilingly disclaimed any thirst for booty or blood, the caller Insisted Incredulously, \Put on youi hat, squire, and Just walk down the street. See anybody you don't like, throw up your thumb and I'll pop him.” Dewey’s Family, Gen. F. V. Greene tells the following Btory of Admiral Dewey, which we have not seen In print. When he or rived In Manila with re-enforcementi he went on board the Olympia to pay hla respects to the Admiral. After the two men bad exchanged compliment! Dewey said: \Come Into my cabin, General. I want to show yottWY family.\ In one corner of the cabin was a greet pile of photographs, dozens upon dozens, and each was the picture of a baby boy. There were fat babies and lean babies, pretty babies and uglj babies, sad babies and smiling babies \What In the world are these?\ ask ed General Greene, somewhat bewil­ dered. \Why said Dewey, ”lt'» Just th« family of my namesakes.

They were making great fun this way when Mrs Row­ land, passing along the corridor on her way to call on Mrs, Browning, who lived on the second floor, appeared. \Oh boys, hoys,\ she cried, laugh­ ingly stopping her ears as they raced toward her, \you must, you positively must, be a little quieter! Go Into your own rooms, dearies, and don’t come out again until I return.\ Ten mlnuteB later she was nearly frightened out of her wits. Looking out of Mrs. Browning’s window Into the light shaft, which furnished light and air to all the apartments In the building, she saw her son Teddy sus­ pended In a sort of Improvised sling, evidently patterned after the harness used by the janitor when cleaning windows, and helped out by sugges­ tions obtained from a traveling acro­ bat whom the boys had recently seen. A large bow knot had been tied In the rope used for hanging out clothes on tbe roof on washing days, and In tbe lower loop of this bow Teddy rested as If in a seatless swing; the smaller loop, passing around his waist assisted him lh retaining an unsteady sitting posture. At a small pantry window high above, alternately raising and lowering bis brother, by means of an Improvised windlass strangely resem­ bling a mutilated clothes wringer, stoou Oliver, grinning with delight Teddy, to his Indignant disgust was nnceremonlnosly banled through Mrs. Browning’s window, and his mother, accompanied by her hostess and Mrs. Stacey, who lived upon the seventh floor of the bnlldlng on tbe opposite aide, and who had called to retnrn a book lqaned her by Mrs. Browning, harried upstairs to look at the Ingen­ ious contrivance. “Please, mamma, let It stay,” pleaded Teddy, beseechingly; \Just for n little while, any way; it might come In handy, yon know.\ ‘Ob, yea. It m ig h t” admitted Mrs. Rowland, ltnghing, “but I don’t n>ti»s ttwOL So remove ft a t once.” At that moment Mrs. Stacey, who had been amnsedly Inspecting the rope and wringer, g iv e a startled cry. Six floors below them, swaying about on the window *® o f the Stacey apart­ ment. sat the ysar-old baby that Mrs. Stacey bad left asleep tat ft* cradle; was peering down tote the court A chair d raws a® d h se to tbs « b d s v shewed the « w by which tha M ils one had reached tts daagerooa perch. Tbs Soared (hefitfbt to a f t win pared hung lu order to swing his body across the court. Twice he failed to reach the wludow opposite him, and the baby, Interested lu the floor of the court, did not look up. The third time he approached her she saw him and crowed with delight, stretching' out her baby hands toward him nud trying to rise to her unsteady tittle feet. But Teddy was swifter thnu ehe. With a desperate lunge he flung him­ self against the window sill, let go his hold of the rope aud suatehed the child Just as she tottered on the slippery edge of the polished stone. The end den aud violent movement, combined with the jerky action of the rope, which swung sharply across the court again on the rebound, upset his bal­ ance completely. Tbe eager spectators at the wlndowr high above, their hearts still thumping wildly from theaexctte- meut of the baby's danger, gasped with apprehension as the boy, firmly dutch Ing the baby, fell heavily backward, slipping out of tbe loop on which he reBted entirely, and dropping to a hori­ zontal posture. But Teddy was game. “Wind me up quick!” he shouted to Oliver, and up he came, with only the loop around his waist to keep both him aud his charge from the stone floor below. The baby, who fancied the whole affair a new- kind of play, kicked, crowed and Bqulrmed In his arms. But the loop held firm. Teddy managed, after a few efforts, to catch hold of the other loop with his feet, and presently he was being drawn In through the Row­ land window, red In the face and breathless from the partially Inverted position In which the upward trip had been made. Mrs. Stacey snatched her baby and fell to wildly kissing it, and the other ladles hugged Teddy, In spite of his objections. “I’m all right, mamma; Indeed I am!\ he cried, wriggling away from bla mother's affectionate embrace, \and yon needn’t cry, I’m sure. My Jacket split when the rope slipped, but you can mend It, I know, and we won't ask you to let us keep tbe swing now, if yon feel so badly about H. But I told you It might come In handy. And say, mamma! Can't I have a piece of Jelly cake?\ I'm hungry, too,” remarked Oliver, plaintively, \and really, mamma, I was tbe one who first thought of fixing op the ropes like that, and I’ve done most of the work, anyway. Can't I have some Jelly cake, too?\ Before Mrs. Rowland had time to answer Mrs. Browning was trying to kiss both boys at once, and langhlng heartily a* she did so. \You dear, fanny, blessed little an- bels!” she exclaimed, drawing them ont Into the corridor and downstairs with ber, “I’vs got a great, big, lovely jelly cake In my pantry, and I’m going to make yon eat every bit of It!” Teddy and Oliver, being simple, nat­ ural, Jolly urchins, said not a word to any one about tbe afternoon's doings, but the story spread through all the building, and they bars bad many champions since that tons. True, as they have become more accustomed to city Bfe, they have grown less noisy and boisterous, but tbe other occu­ pants erf the Boylstan Flats are far m en gentle in their judgment o f them than of old, and It 1* doubtful If Mrs. Stacey could ever again bring herself to the point o f calling Teddy a “dread­ ful boy,\ even should be chased her pet c a f e s often as he caught sight o f that interesting animaL—Chicago Record.

OLD WAUKEGAN LIGHTHOUSE. Ik e Due W hich W ui F i r s t KutublUhed Hack in 1841). The extinguishment of the lamp In the old lighthouse at Wnlikegau mark­ ed another step lu the history of that port. The lighthouse was established In 1841) and was rebuilt lu 1801). In earlier years, when there was much shipping carried on from piers, the light was of great local value aside from its use as a coast light. This new light, which Is of the fourth order and much more powerful than the old one, Is both a coast and harbor light. The location of the light so far b ack from the water's edge was responsible WAt’KKO Atf LIOHTBOUSH. for at least one beaching over twenty years ago, when lumber was received at a pier In front of the lighthouse. The captain of a small schooner coming over from Michigan with a load was told he could sail up and knock at the lighthouse door. Arriving at Wauke­ gan late at night, be tried to do this, but found Mmself beached, with the light still afar off. When morning came the townspeople saw the schooner high and dry and were hilarious when they learned bow It had happened. The lum­ ber was unloaded and the schooner, scarcely hurt, was launched again. John WTlllams, a «ne arrned veteran of the civil war, kept the light from 1865 until his death thirty years later.
