CHICAGO. July 4 About $50 del
gates responded to the call Tor n
National Conference Of Anti-M Monop-

day, which was prolonged well into
the evening. The original call out
lined aa the purpose OF the Conven-

Of tho restriction OF the power OF
corporations, the holding OF public

tia.s experiencing difficulty IN de-
termluing who were properly ac-
credited delegates. There was also
some sharp prol minary sparring on
the tariff question, it being soon de-
velopel that the Nav York delega-
tion, which was the stIongent aud
most compact, favored protection,
while the Nebraska and nearly all of
the other Western State delegations
favored free trade. The election Of
a New York man for permanent
Chairman was looked upon as a
victory for the protectionlsts. An
other contest was provoked over the
admission OF D1nis Kearnoy and
Stephen MaybeIl Of California as del
egatea, which resulted in a refusal to
recognize them ae such.
The IN 'etins was called 10 order

Poor Richards Proverbs.

He who hunts after bargains will
scratch his head.
It is the late cat that catches the
early boot-jack.
Half-witted people have knack OF
talking much and saving little.
He does not live in this world who
can skin grindstone.
Words of wisdom: First thoughts
and first mortgages are always best.
He who buys wants hundred eyes,
who sells need have but one.
When the summer is winter and
the winter summer it is sorry year.
Act uprightly and fearlessly and
you may defy the devil and all his
works.
Very few women turn gray because
their husbands die.
Another mans horse and your own
whip can do great deal.
The teeth of the puppy is growing
while the old dog Is gnawlng bones.
AS water runs toward the shore, so
does money toward the rich mans
hand.
A cat that icks the spit is not to be
trusted with roast meat.
Bide time and place to take revenge,
It's never well done in a hurry.
Greatness alone is not enough, or
the COW would outrun the hare.
Good faith is a seldom guest, when
you have him hold him fast.
Go not with every ailment to the
doctor, nor with every plant to the
lawyer.
Love others well, but love yourself
the most; give good for good but not
at thine own cost.
In the matter of love-" as the old
proverb ran, you begin when You
ike, ind Leave OF when YOU CAM
But the more modern version, the
balance TO strike, is Begin when you
can and leave of when you like"

An Enormous Walnut Log.
New York Times.

A large, worm eaten walnut log lies
in the gutter in front Of No. 1856 Eli
zabeth street, propped up by heavy
blocks of wood. 1t towers above the
passing horses and the men on the
high seats of the large drays can
hardly see over it. 1t is 8 feet in
diameter, 81 feet in circumference,
IL feet long, and weighs $4,000
pounds. 1t was hauled from the
foot of Broome street by five teams of
horses few days ago and deposited
in Elizabeth street, where it has since
lain. Mr.. L. Hirsch, the lumber
dealer of No. 214 Center street, who
is the owner, said to a reporter that it
is the largest foreign log ever
brought to this country. It came
from a spur of the Pyrenees Noun,
tains, near the little French village OF
Perigeaux. Mr.. Hirsch was in France
last spring buying walnut lumber.
While there heard of several monster
trees in the vicinity of this village.
He visited the place and found thiS
tree. 1t was said to be the largest
walnut tree standing in the country.
He bought it, and had it cut under
his own personal supervision. 1t took
forty men and twenty-five horses to
sever the enormous trunk and haul
the log seven miles to the nearest rail-
way station. 1t was taken to Paris,
where it attracted great attention,
and was visited by the manager of
the Jardin DIES Plants. The Partisan
papers reported that it was the largest
log ever brought to this city. Finally,
it was put on the steamer Katie and
brought to New York. The only way
in which it could be brought to land
was on board the largest steam lighter
Ok. It is estimated to be worth ST.
600 as it lays, and when it is sawed
into veneeringit will yield $4,000 feet,
which will be wor til about $4,000.
The color when polished is q deep

A Season Of Strikes.

The past month has been notable
for disturbances among our industrial
population. The iron-workers of
Pittsburg demanded an advance of
wages, and secured it. Cigar-makers
and other trades i'll our large cities
have been striking, but the most nota-
bic of all the labor revolts was that
of the operators of our great tele-
graph monopoly. Public opinion
rather sided with the strikers, a fact
due in great part to the popular dis
like of jay Gould and the soulless
corporation he represents. Then It
was thought that the operators should
be paid for extra Sunday work, and
that their labor should be worth as
much to them as that of the brick
LAYER and carpenter, whose average
incomes were much larger than that
of the telegraph operators. Yet, as
a matter Of fact, the conditions do
not exist that would justify an in
creased compensation forlabor. Bust
ness has been dull aud IN many in
stances improbable tor the past two
wears. Wall Street has had II panic,
due 10 the liquidation which has been
in progress. Money goes farther now
than it did formerly. That IS to say,
nearly everything las become cheaper
during the past two years. Animal
aud vegetable food was never more
abundant. while cotton and wooden
goods were never so cheap. The con-
ditions DO not exist for a general IN
crease Of wages.-Fuss DeEorsst
