He Will Not Be Alderman Ripley.

Alderman-elect Pritchard holds a certificate
of election from the canvassing board of inspect
ors, and W. l. Ripley has one from the recount
ing commission. 1t is claimed by the Democrats
that Ripley's name, instead of Pritchard's, as
alderman from the Second district, will appear
on the roll of the new Board at
its first meeting. Rule second, among
other things relating to the organization
of the new boards Of Council and Aldermen,
says the clerk, after calling the members to order,
shall then state whether or not the members of
the Board have legally qualified and are entitled
to seats in the chamber" Under this it is said
the Democratic clerk can place the name of
Ripley on the roll and set aside the certificate of
Pritchard, on the ground that the recount was
the final legal count of the votes. Other Demo
Gratis claim, however, that nothing of
the kind will be resorted to; that
it is the purpose of Ripley to allow Pritchard to
take his seat and then GUST him through quo
warranto proceedings, (which can be done in
thirty days" said a partisan, latter the board is
organized"
At the next meeting Of the present board,
though, the Republicans will seek to amend tie
rule by making it read that the clerk shall call
the roll of members elect holding certificates of
election issued upon the authority of the can
wasting board of inspectors at the last preceding

Attempted Suicide.

The wife of Robert Wand. living in a tene-
ment house on Massachusetts, avenue, attempted
to hang herself early yesterday morning, but
other occupants of the building prevented her.
Desperate from delirium attending the birth of
her child. she made other attempts at suicide,
once getting a butcher knife and making every
effort to cut her throat. Her husband, it is
claimed, left the house in the evening to 60 to
his fathers to sleep, he giving as an excuse that
he had to 60 to work early, and needed all the
rest he could get. About 1:3O o'clock he was
routed out of bed by %neighbors and informed of
his Wife's condition.

MINE LABORERS FEDERATION.
The Miners of the State Organizing to Pro-
tect Their Interests.

Articles were filed with the Secretary of State
yesterday, incorporating the Federated Associa-
ton of Miners and Mine Laborers Of Indiana
"As miners and mine laborers, " the preamble of
the articles state, ''our troubles everywhere
are Of a similar character. The memorable laws
of supply and demand determine the point where
our interests unite. The increased ship
ping facilities of the last few years
have made all coal producing districts
competitors in the markets Of this country.
This has led to in~discriminate cutting of market
prices, and unnecessary reductions in our wages,
which for some time have been far below a
living rate. Our wages are no longer regulated
by our skill as workmen, nor by the value of our
products as w%orkmen, but by competition with
cheaper labor. Our standard of workmanship
is fast being lowered by the present method of
screening coal before weighing, and of the prac-
tice on the part of our employers of importing
cheap labor to their mines. In many localities
free speech has been effectually suppressed.
truck SYSTEM" which was banished from
England by legislation, has been transplanted,
and is tiourishing in our midst Our ills are
many and our privileges few. All can be attrib-
uted to the lack of organized effort on our part.
Our failure to act in concert when contesting for
principles and rights has brought about the de-
moralization and degradation of our craft.
Therefore, the working miners and laborers in
ana around the mines OF Inc state or Indiana
associate for the purpose of devising and carry
ing into effect the best means of securing to our
selves protection against the evils spoken of, and
of all others which may arise hereafter, and also
for the purpose Of mutual improvement, physical
", socially and intellectually, and the taking of all
necessary steps for the advancement of the best
interests of the association. The objects are, III
to obtain legislative enactmentsf for the more eff
ficient management of mines; ~ to shorten the
hours of labor to eight hours per day; ~ to Sc
cure the enactment of a law for the weighing of
ali coal before being screened; AZ to protect all
members who are u~njustly dealt with while car
rying out the behests Of the confederation; ~
tue adoption of the two-weeks' pay system; 10y
the abolition Of the truck-store system;
and ~ TO equalize the price of mining coal ac-
cording to the amount of labor necessary to pro-
duce it. The president is William e. Mckinley;
vice president and treasurer, James Cantwell;
secretary. Thomas buddy; executive board.

LECTURES FOR THE YOUNG.
Rev. 0. c. McCulloch's Talk Concerning the
Father of His Country.

The first of the series of historical lectures for
young people was a success, far exceeding the
expectations of those who conceived this educa-
tional idea, and must have carried a glow of sat
i~sfaction TO their hearts. Two women are enti-
tied to the credit of having started this work,
Miss Charity Dye, who originated, and Miss
Mary Nicholson, who was her earnest and able
co-wcrker. Plymouth Church, yesterday after
noon, was filed, every seat taken, long before
the lecture begun, and there were enough went
away, unable to get in even on standing room

Blind were there together, seats hav-
ing been set apart for them. 1t
was an audience to be proud ola
thousand of the bright boys and girls of the pub

good humor, and frolicksome as kittens. and the
reporter had some misgivings as to what their
behavior would be when the lecture began. His
fears were groundless. A more quiet and atten-

the word America means and what it is to be an

that it is a land of over fifty millions of people,
but to understand the sacrifices that have been

TO understand that, if need be, it is a country to

want you TO see the qualities that go to make a

took his measure-the men who had fought at
Concord, at Lexington, and at Bunker Hill-men
who had fought under Prescott, Knox, "Old
OF those memorable words, Boys. there are the
red coats: we must whip them or Molly Starke's
a widow"
The lecturer graphically narrated the stirring
scenes in the life of the Father of his Country,
particularly those which naturally interest the
young, emitting the legend of the cherry tree,
and concluding with the tradition of the New
York Indians, who held that Washington
alone. of all white men, had been admitted to
the Indians heaven because Of his Justice to
the red man; that he lives there in a grea,
house built like a fort, and all the Indians, as
they go to heaven, pass by him as he walks in
front of his house in full uniform, a sword by
his side. They bow reverently as they pass, and
he returns the salute gravely and kindly, but
says nothing.
The next lecture, "Pioneer Life in Indiana, y

Il. L. Brown. AS the audience filed out each
one was given a little circular containing brief
estimates of Washington by his contemporaries.
