Evans liflet.
The Evans Rifles entertainments given
last week were fairly well attended,
although the boys were looking for a
larger turnout, as they went to a great
amount of trouble to give the people the
full worth of their money. Those who
were in 'attendance speak in high terms
of praise.
Starting with the play "Nevada," on
Tuesday evening, a good house greeted
the performers, and many who were there
spoke very highly of a number of our
home actors. The Journal thinks that
when the Rifles give another play they
will have a crowded house.
Wednesday evening at the Maenner
chor hall the second social entertainment
was given. The articles sold were lunch
baskets prepared and filled by young
ladies and taken to the hall. The bid
ding was by the boys and was very
spirited, making some of the lunches
bring a good ronnd price. The pur
chaser of a basket, eating lunch with the
lady who had brought the same, made
the evening pass off very pleasantly.
The contests for watch for the most pop
ular young lady and badge for most
popular fireman was commenced, only
two names were mentioned among our
many popular firemen, those being Bert
Galley and Mort Murphy. However
but few votes were cast on the first even
ing, Miss Ruby Hensley and Miss Petite
Martyn contesting for the gold watch.
Thursday evening at the Maennerchor
hall a regular supper was served from 0
to 10, when all who were lucky enough
to attend were served with an elegant
meal, gotten up by the lady friends of
the company. Colonel J. N. Kilian came
up from Lincoln to be in attendance and
gave those present an interesting speech
on the First Nebraska's campaign in and
around Manila.
The contest for the watch was made a
little more interesting as the names of
several more young ladies were added to
the list of two, and the voting was the
cause of much merriment. Murphy and
Galley as firemen piling up the votes in
good shape for the badge.
The last of the series was the dance
Friday evening at the opera house. Just
a good crowd was in attendance for the
size of the floor. Music was furnished
by the Columbus Orchestra and also the
City Band. It was about 2 o'clock when
the dance ended, before which time Miss
Madge dishing came out victorious in
the voting contest for the watch, leading
all others in the number of votes, and
any one passing down Eleventh street
can see the gold badge shining on the
manly breast of Mort Murphy through
the store window of Hulst & Adams.

REBUKED BY WORKINGMEN.
Failure of Bryan's Efforts to Stir Up
Strife Anions Thesa." '
One of the most significant and
pleasing'results of the election is to-be
found in the outcome in -the anthracite
mining region of this state. Mr. Bry
an's most strenuous efforts were di
rected to stirring up the workingnien
generally to antagonism toward tho
Interests of their employers and to
induce them to vote in a manner which
would, if successful, have proved most
Inimical to these interests. It so hap
pened that when Mr. Bryan was in
the full tide of his dogmatic attempt
to stir up ill feeling between the two
classes the only serious struggle be
tween them which the country had
experienced for "some time began in
the anthracite region. Mr. Bryan and
his managers were quick to seize the
occasion to turn the matter to their
own profit, and the former indulged
In utterances calculated, as lie thought,
to make capital for himself with the
striking miners and the workingmen
generally. Undoubtedly there were
some of the Bryanite managers who
fondly hoped that the strike would
result !n most serious trouble, which
would have the effect of inflaming the
workingmen of the country to vote
against the existing order of things.
Happily for the miners, their em
ployers and the country generally, the
difficulties were amicably settled and
work was resumed a week before, the
election. Undoubtedly Mr. Bryan and
his friends expected that they would
greatly profit by the former's effort' to
Incite class hatred. How miserably
they failed of .doing so the general re
suit shows, but it was made particu
larly obvious in the case of the an
thracite miners, with whom his in
cendiary talk, it was hoped, would be
most effective. The three congres
sional districts situated in the great
mining counties of Luzerne, Lacka
wanna and Schuylkill elected Republi
can congressmen and gave the national
Republican ticket large majorities.
Another mining county, Carbon,, al
though normally Democratic, also went
Republican. The miners dominate.AU
these counties, and it was their,, voles
which brought about these results
which are alike creditable to D&eir

patriotism and their common- sense,

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.
The Ala Granted Showla Be Impar
tially Distribute.
The Information that the shipping
subsidy bill will be forced to the front
as the first measure on which congress
Is to act calls for a careful examination
of the measure. It Is not wise to judge
of so Important an enactment. Involv
ing a maximum expenditure of $180,
000,000, upon preconception. But an
examination may permit an intelligent
public judgment both of its merits and
demerits.
The president's message recommends
"aid to our merchant marine," and to
that general principle impartially and
broadly applied public assent can be
given. The assent is likely to be em
phasized by the recently developed
need of more vessels to carry the man
ufactured exports which are swelling
the bulk of the shipments of the Unit
ed States. But to accomplish that end
and meet the vast and broadrneeds of
our growing trade the aid granted by
the bill should be Impartial as to all
classes of vessels without favor as to
any interest Pittsburg Dispatch.

A attlraaake Traa
Rattlesnakes were the most danger
' ous wild animals with which the early
settlers of New Jersey had to contend.
They were very numerous, and their
bite, If not treated properly at once,
was generally fatal. In "Stories From
American History" F. R. Stockton
cites an incident which gives an idea
of the abundance of rattlers In the new
colony:
In a quarry from which the work
men were engaged In getting out stone
for the foundations of Princeton col-
lege a wide crack in the rocks was dls
covered which led downward to a large
cavity, and In this cave were found
about 20 bushels of rattlesnake bones,
There was no reason to believe that
this was a snake cemetery, to which
the creatures retired when they sup-
posed they were approaching the end
of their days, but it was, without
doubt, a great rattlesnake trap.
The narrow, winding passage lead
ing to it must have been very attract
ive to a snake seeking retired quarters
in which to take Its long winter nap.
Although the cave at the bottom of the
great crack was easy enou' to get
Into, it was so arranged that It was
difficult, if not Impossible, for a snake
to get out of. especially In the spring,
when these, creatures are very thin
and' weak, having been nourished all
winter by their own fat.
Thus year after year the rattlesnakes
must have gone down Into that cavity
without knowing that they could never
get out again.

The housing problem Is one that for
years has lain heavily on those with
small Incomes in Paris.
Every day the French capital be-
.comes more and more Impossible as a
residence for poor people and, while
handsome houses grow more numerous,
reasonable lodgings become scarcer.
The poor no longer find it easy to se
cure apartments at a modest rental In
the city unless they are willing to be
confined in barrncklike tenements on
the sixth or even seventh story or shut
off in a courtyard where they get very
little daylight and hardly ever see the
sun.
The workingman has therefore been
obliged to migrate to the outskirts of
the city, and whole suburbs, like La
Villette on one side of Paris and Gre
nelle on the other side, are now Inhab
ited exclusively by industrial colonies.
Every exhibition In Paris has
brought a rise in rents all around, and
today the landlords' dues are higher
than ever. Less accommodation is
available in Paris for a given rental
than In London, and the sanitary con
ditions are generally inferior.
The better housing of the working
classes, however, is now beginning
to attract the attention of reformers,
and when the extension of the city
eventually takes place perhaps some
improvement will be effected. Paris
