Tazrfined a man in Springfield. Mass. 5‘75. a few days ago for steal. ing parts of bicycles. He thought it was a pretty tough sentvnce. but the court evidently thought it was time that sort of a thing W213 >tr ppml. An old offender said to us some yeah ago. “If you want to stop men 5v“- iug intoxicatingr liquors illegally. send them to thepeniteutiary for one year for the first ofl'ense and (louhlo it for the second. and so on. Men ('4) not like the penitentiary: your llttlc‘ ten to fifty dollar fines are no good; mild sentences are the greatest un- kindness to the wrong door and :2 cheat on the public." STRANGE coincidences sometimc~ occur. About three and tiventy years ago we supplied’off and on a little church in a beautiful village at the foot of the Green mountaim. and among the fruits of that work. We baptized into the church one of ti 0 leading young business men of the place. Imagine, if you can. our sur~ prise, on going over to the Military Academy the other morning for facts about the Institute to findtlmt man's son in charge of the whole affair as its business manager. "Gene Farr" was. and is so far as we know. one of the beat men we ever knew: no man was ever more loyal as a friend and Christian brother to us than he. and from what we can see and learn. the son is a "chip 03 the old block " ‘ch call the attention of the Deer- licld township highway surveyors, or anyone else to whom the Work he- lougs. to the bad condition of the crossings of the electric road com- pany's tracks at two places: one is at the west entrance to the military re- servation up above and near the bar- racks. The railway tracks are about six inches below the old street level, and the earth on both sides of the track is left at its original height. so Ir you go down to the Military Academy and see bicycles by tlw score you need not conclude that it is a wheel factory. though you would hardly find a larger or better assert; ment than lines the halls and part cochere of the Academy. \Vln-eling over our beautiful streets not only develops muscle. but gives compass and sweetness to the voices of these sweet singers; By the way the first school master in our Lake County was a school ma‘m, and she. like the first settler, Captain Daniel Wright, was from Vermont. Note that. Mr. Farr. L. Z. Leiter filed two million (lUlâ€"o lars of mortgages on I'll: Chicago real estate a fewdays since, on which were $996 in revenue stamps to pay for this Cuban War. These mortgagem represent a part of his sun “Joe's” losses on his k’heat dealâ€"that is on! his effort to corner ~the world's bread and make the people put millions in- ‘ to his pocket. I! is a remarkablel fact that nearly every big wheat tleql in Chicago for years has swamped ‘ l the man who tried tucorner the mar-1 Athenian mu and. known on Who-ao- n this dike. LEWIS B. HIBBABD.
