Miller, or someone else, who prom: feed Many months ago that we were to be rid of that relic of barbarism, Seattle's chain gang? We had not seen it for a long time, and if anyone had eked us if it still existed, we would have ventured a guess @nd have answered, “No.” But it has not gone. This morning, and yesterday morn img, and the morming before, it has clanked its way down the} @enter of Seventh av. past The Star office to engage in some Work somewhere in the Pike st. district There were old men, middle-aged men and boys in this human chain. On the first morning, we noticed a young fellow) The with a hat down over his eyes, as though ashamed to be seen. ‘The next morning the hat was raised a little, and he seemed Mot so careful that those who saw him might not recognize Rim. This morning, his hat was on the top of his head and _ there was no sign of shame, or hardly of regret. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS? Tt means that the chain gang has done for this young man what it has done for thousands of others in the past. * Tt means that in three days he has made up his mind that Re does not care. Tt means that he is no longer ashamed; that the stare of the curious man or woman, or the sympathetic glance of the child brings no blush to his cheek. It means that in his eyes it is not such a terrible thing after ‘all to be on the chain gang, Tt means that a cell in the penitentiary has not half the horrors for this young man that it had three days ago. Perhaps it means that in three days he has become a hard- @ned criminal, although he may be answering now for only gome slight offense against society. : It's a terrible thing to contemplate, this truth that comes 0 as, that Seattle is in this matter making criminals perhaps @at of young men who in a moment of thoughtlessness have |) Wiolated a city ordinance, or a state law, not of very serious moment. \ Kan’ it about time that we were providing employment for men in some other way? — oy ‘Young Bride: Aigerson, how cam I know when the eggs are Algernon: You can koow they're hard botied when I want them YASS IPNGAGIEMICAR: to the seriousness heard much of this nephew Locke.

But can you? In the Opera House corridor scene in “The Pit,” at Ye Liberty Theatre, Oakland, Cal., the famous quartet from Rigoletto was. sung by Caruso, Abbott, Homer and Scotti on the Victor, and the delighted audience thought they were listening to the singers themselves, At Reetor's, the noted Chicago Restaur- ant, when some of the grand opera stars sang, with piano accompaniment, the diners listened with rapt attention and craned their necks to get a glimpse of the singers. But it was a Victor. In the rotunda of Wanamnaker’s famous Philadelphia store the great pipe organ ac- companied Melba on the Victor, and the peo- ple rushed from all directions to sce the singer. Even in the Victor laboratory employes often imagine they are listening to a singer making a record while they really hear the Victor.
