SOCIALISTS AND ANARCHISTS
Their Regular Sunday Meetings Held In
Chicago.

CHICAGO, December 27.-Seventy five or
one hundred representatives OF the Social
istic element OF Chicago held their usual
Sunday meeting to-day, and occupied an
hour or SO in discussing 1.-The need OF So
cha lism." Contrary to the expectations OF
IA good many people in the city, yester-
days dynamite sensation was not touched
upon. Very few innammatory express
sions were INDUCED in.
THE ANARCHISTS.
There was a large attendance at a mass
meeting OF the Central Labor Union, held
to-day, at which a number OF Anarch-
lists were present. George Schilling de-
livered quite Il lengthy address
on the advantages of the eight
hour system, and Paul Grottken. speaking
on the same subject, took occasion to refer
to the Anarchists as %injuring the chance, OF
the eight-hour law through their extIa,ne
views on the labor questions. The An
archists present greeted this remark with
loud hiss es, but were allowed to remain,
after a discussion as to the ACCESSIBILITY OF
turning them out OF the meeting. Among
Others thefollowing resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That this meeting condemns
the hyrocritical and unfriendly position
taken by the Anarchists with regard to the
eight-hour demand OF the p~roletarians,
and, in consequence. hindering the
accomplishment Of proletarians.
No further light has been thrown on
the mysterious attempt to blow up Judge
Trees dwelling.

Guns Sometimes Burst Easily.
Manufacturers and Ruilda.

tsANi tAANbSh
In hravado a young man placed the
muzzle of his fowling piece under the
water and fired the charge. The result
was the bursting of the barrel near the
breech, and the mutilation of his hand.
Another placed and held the muzzfe of
his gun square against a piece of plate
window glass and fired the charge
powder and bullet. The glass was shat
tered, SO was the gun barrel. Another
instance was that of an experimenter
who had heard that a candle could. be
fired from the barrel of a gun through
an inch board. He drove q candle into
the muzzle of a gun, fred, and the ex-
plosion split the barrel almost it's entire
length, and did not even drive the IAN
die from it's muzzle. Still another bursting
OF a gun barrel was caused by the use
OF wet grass as a wad, we'll rammed
down over a charge of shot.
But perhaps one of the most singular
exhibitions in this line was a Colts
navy revolver, which some years ago
was sent to the factory in Hartford,
Conn. This was before the adoption of
these pistols to the metallic cartridges,
and it is probable that in loading with
open powder and ball only a small
amount of powder got into the cham
bers, and the bullet was not propelled
with sufficient force to drive it from the
muzzle; at least the bullet did not 70
out, but lodged. As the shooter did not
know whether the bullet escaped or
not, he kept on firing until the barrel
burst Or bulged, and when it was sawed
in two longitudinally there was found
fourteen bullets wed9ed one into the
other, and so much upset by the
hammering of the successive explosions
of the powder charges that some OF
them were not less than one inch in
diameter. dattened dies instead Of
eonical bullets.

4 SNATCH or SONG
Hattie Tyne.Griswoldl

Hattie Tyng-Griswold.l
AslEAin from an old song
An echo from the years
A haunting tone from out the vale
Called Love, the Vale Of Tears
And, love, I stretch my arms
Out through the maddening space,
The endless miles / pan
To fall in thine embrace
From longing and from love
There are born unto me wings,
And across the weary waste
Soars my soul to thee, and sings
Thou wilt feel me in the hush
OF thy deepest dream tonight;
ehall greet thee through the years
Thou wilt know the old delight.

Millionaire Floods Advice.

GA iASh'> LII ts'aaN
'The advice l would give a young
man" said MIR. Flood to a young mar
one day, who desires to become merely
successful in life, is TO remember one
thing. There are few men who have so
little that there will not be found others
who will try to take it away from them.
He will realize, sooner or later, that
four men out of five with whom he
comes into contact are e%ndeavoring to
get the best Of him. 1t rests entirely
with him to decide whether he will get
the best of them, or they of him. Brains
are what is wanted in the world; not ex-
perience.
Mere clerks are a drug on the
market. They cannot be entrusted to
do you an important service for they
never have been able to do one for
themselves. In employing a man it is
comfortable, perhaps, to find him with a
good recommendation; but this recon-
mendation to which the stereotyped
rules of business attach so much W II
not save you from making a mistake.
You cannot throw the responsibility of
a failure upon a piece of paper written
b. another man. A strong man will al
ways Judge for himself. The more edu-
intelligence and brains a man
has, the more useful he is. Many men
acquired experience; few have
profited By it,"

BATHS AND

The Class Of Imperfectly Washed-Disas.
trous Consequences Of Neglect.
Boston Budget
Private cleanliness is a matter of pub
lie interest. No one whose experience
or observation has instructed him as to
the sources and prevalence of those ter
rible diseases which periodically infest
the great cities of the world, can enter
tain q doubt that their spread is widest
wherever cleanliness is the most neg
lected. Wherever dirt and filth are suf-
feredt to accumulate, there the enemies of
human health are gathered together,
and plague and pestilence holo carnival.
Nor does it make much difference
whether the dirt consists of an exposure
to decaying matter on the surface of the
ground, or of an ~unwholesome and un,
drained pool. or whether it is distributed
in unwasfed parcels over the surface of
the human body. In the latter case,
indeed, it is rather more dangerous than
in the former, since a thoroughly clean
person may escape all injury from the
~contagion of the decaying substances,
whereas a system not fortified by clean
illness and the observation of sanitary
laws, is coubly liable to the attacks Of
all diseases whatsoever.
We fear it must he admitted that the
ma GRITTY Of mankind, both in city and
country, belong to the class of imper-
fectly washed beings. We fear there
are some people in the circle of every
body's acquaintance who have little
knowledge of the use of water beyond
a cautious dipping of the hands and face
a day or so in that SOVEREIGN ele-
ment.
We know there are many who do not
get a bath on the average 70 often as
once a month, and we. fear there are
some who have never been thoroughly
immersed in water so much as once in
the course of their natural lives. The
consequences of this more or less
neglect are found in a predis-
to disease, both febrile and
The unwashed skin is in

Interrupted action of the organs which
throw off so vast an amount of the
waste of the system, develops and fos-
ters every morbid tendency. This dan
ger to health may not be palpable at
lrst, but with each growing neglect of
means of cleanliness it becomes greater,
it is no longer possible to ward off
The attacks of the adversary.
