The eight men on .trial were convicted, six having the death sentence Imposed and two receiving a term of- fifteen years In the peniten tiary. - Though the missile thrown by an unknown, hand. Into the, ranks 'of the policemen on that night killed one man outright, six others received fatal wounds and fully three score more were leaa severely injured, the charge was the killing' of the man whose death was immediate, j During- the trial and afterward the friends of the accused bitterly denounced Judge Gary for Kis rulings and conduct of the case, but he was sustained by public opinion al most unanimously; not quite unani mously, however. . for some .eminent lawyers,' who could not by any possi bility be taken for friends of anarchists or anarchy, pronounced his rulings arbitrary, unjust and in violation of the rules of evidence. But It is a part of the history of the caae that Judge Gary's rulings were; sustained by tne higher courts of Illinois. .The con viction , of the! defendants certainly served as a check upon . the growth of anarchy In Chicago, which was then its hotbed, and: in the United States at large, ! .ILLITERACY AND CRIME. Is there a decrease of crime corre-1 sponding to the decrease of IHlteracy, is a Question that has often been, dis cussed, most recently by a German maziie, whose cotrcluHiuns are not of the most hopeful character. ; All over Kurope the percentage of illiter ates was greatly reduced in the last half of the nineteenth century. In 110 50 per tent only of the Dritish people could write, while 9 per cent of them tan now 1 an. Taking the entire c-oitim-nt of Kuroxe, there has leeii an Increase of j4i per cent in the num ber of persons j who can write in the p-riod named. ! though the iopulation has Increased only 30 per cent. Ger many and thei United States are the two countries 'that show least educa tional progress in the period under re view, for the Him pie reaon that 80 per cent of their people had elementary knowledge In 1M0, .so that the large progress strx-e made by other nations was for them' Impossible. The United State., indeed, ha a larger percentage of illiteracy now, than It had sixty yviirs ago. waen the nejro population was left out of the : survey and the Immigration came mostly from West em instead of Ka stern Europe. Krance row leads the. march of edu catiun in Kurope.' While her popula tion has len' on a standstill for forty years past her nnnual expenditure on popular r education is five times as great as it was in 1&60. Put it is not as clear as could be wished that the advance of the schoolmaster Is synon ymous with the ritreat of the crimi nal. Mnlha 11, the statistician, wrote an interesting essay on Brltsh educa tion and crime to show that the latter had steadily 'diminished as the former had increased. Uut Die Wocha says that In Germany, whkh Is not behind Kugland In education, youthful crimi nals have increased In recent years four times as tost as the population.. Professor Lombroso maintained in tola famous book' on Criminality- that crimes of violence and brutality have been fewer since education became general., while the crimes of 'craft and cunning, suclt a embezilemnt, ;" for gery and frauds multiplied. 1 : of all' kinds, have THE COURSE. OF TRUE LOVE. In the backwoods i of Maine, wttere hard work to plentiful, the course - of true love Is j often as rough as a cor duroy road, j Th:s lias recently been illustrated at Sheffield, where, Charles Mc Death, according to a Bangor, Me., correspondent, adopted a most ungal lant course toward eadie Jordan, be cause after he had courted her for ever so loig aii showered her with- gifts. Hhe coaiwced her mind . android him that she had no notion" of .marrying nun. . Charles was willing to charge' up his time to profit and loss, but the mem ory of the presents was bitter to him, and so he brougtit suit against Sadie's father, she being under are to recover J the value of saldf. pre4ents. Tne case was tried beTore .'Squire Harrison, and was heard'.by the entire population of Sheffield .villager vCHaries "suedv'to re-' cover 23.M iworth of presents, on the grouitd that Sadie' toad broken ; ner promljse to rnarry him, on the strength of which alleged, promise ; and 'for ' no other consideration the presents had bs-'ers gi ve l .Ttt .

WITHOUT THE FRILLS. When the fathers of ' the Rep jbllc ! were assembled in the convention that framed the Federal .Constitution thry gave a soo,I 'Uval of attcution to the question of titles by which -some of the natton chie? officers mlht be addressed. . ' - '; ( '.'. Of course, there were to bieno class distinctions or special privileges. ;: At tbe" sarce time, it eeerned to a. good many of the delegates that there ought to be certain deslgaationa n certain instances. The question was discussed at great length; the upshot of it was thai praxtlcaJrjft ail titles. wereAis gird ed.

NOT AT ALL. If the I Democrats should agree upon Grover Cleveland tor. their man, - the Republicans would soon be scurrying around to find some one big enough io beat him. Exchange. I (There would be no scurrying at all; not a bit of it. " The man is in plain sight. His name is Theodore' Roose velt, and he will be-nomlnated by the Republicans arid elected by the people, against any man the Democrats can find to run -on their ticket.) The wages of 75,000 operatives In the cotton mills of the Xew England States have been reduced-about 10 per cent, and without serious, protest- The business -of the" East is getting, down to a basis where the manufacturing concerns will be able to run without loss, and this is the tendency all over the country just now. After a read Jusiment, there wili no doubt again be an upward turn in wages. ; Tlieise things work themselves out according to the changing conditions, and it would be a good thing if there could be a system adopted under which there might i be increases and reductions without the losses incident to strikes. The whole country is better off when all the peo ple are employed. : General Reyes is Injudicious; enough to preface hi peace mission by a de claration that; the United States will rind ." a : second ' Boer war In Colombia. This piece of bombast will ' do him and his country no good. The United Stutes has no property interest in Co lombia: no citizens there; no desire for Colombian territory, and no Inten tion of Invading that country, t On the other hand, Colombia has no intention of invading Paama. How aother Boer war-can occur : w'hen ' the suggested fighters are and will remain hundreds of miles apart, it 'is difficult . for any not ' a Reyes to understand. It. is a safe prediction that the Re publicans are ' going to sweep the city this time, in the election a week from Monday. The city administration will be Republican. ? It will devolve uron the representatives of that' party in . .. the city administration to make a . i ' i gootl record, as good a reeortJs as is being imwlr by the Rea-jbllan state anj Marion county administrations. Thls(wHl be the ambition of a major ity of those In office, and the entire membership of the party will demand as much, in brd-er that there may be no cause for "reproach or regret. There is a great difference between these and those, between now and then Colombia is willing to" let the United States have the right to build a canal across the isthmus without cost, if only Uncle Sam will allow her to take Pan ama back. - But the ) Bogota; erowd Speaks too late.

"I have often been very sorry j said It." returned the Ohioan, as 4e looked upon' Vandiver yesterday, plumper by a, good many pounds than he has ever been seen before In the House. They shook hand cordially over a reminis eence of tw-o or three 4e8sioiis ago, to which, the colloquy was a sequel. . In debate Mr. Vandiver liad referred to "the gentleman from Ohio." This prompted rome wag on the Republican side to inquire. "WTtich one?" Vandiver, lean of limb and thin of voice, glanced around the Republican side. "The gentleman who looks, lika Santa Claus and talks like satan," he retorted.

Whitney, private secretary to Postmaster ' General - Payne, w as made to bear Uie sign, 'Nothing but the address can be written -on this side, which was untrue, as many persons could write more If they so desired. Shortly afterward it was changed so as to say, 'Nothing but the address Is to be placed on this side, which was more sensible, but was clumsy and was soon discarded. The next issue of the cards was inscribed, 'The address only to be written on this side. which it was soon seen could be construed to bar the. use. of a type writer.: The same objection could be raised to 'Write only the address on this side.
