For some time past there has been
brought before the observation of GER
tain class of commercial people a very
interesting product consisting of ex-
tremely thin and slender shavings OF
wood, that are comparable to paper cut
for packing, and that 60 by the name
of "wood WOOL" This product was
first introduced into France as pack
ing material. 1t weighs about forty or
fifty per cent. less than the materials
generally used for such purpose. Its
beautiful appearance, its fineness and
its extreme cleanliness at once brought
it into favor.-N Y Herald.

"For freedoms battle once begun,
Bequeathed by bleeding sire to son,
Though baffied oft, is ever won."

You and 1, as the people of Ohio, have en-
form of the Constitution of your State, pre-
scribing the limits of power and fixing: the
rights of the people. When that constitution
is looked upon as a thing to be despised and
spurned-when, as 1 said, all the representa-.
tives of great political party agree to violate
when men who believed in free Government
and the perpetuation of a representative
Government should band together to teach
them that there is no provocation-there is
justifies the violation of the organic law OF
the State, or the violation of the rights of the
people as contained therein. fApplause.]

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE strike at

this afternoon Mr.. Barry, who has
been on the ground ever since the
strike was inaugurated, and who all
day has been in consultation with Mr..
Carleton, Of Boston, OF the general ex.
ecutive board of the knights of Labor,
announced that the order sending the
men back to work will be issued. The
men will 10 back on the packers
terms, viz; ten hours per day. What
proportion of the strikers will lind en-

nounced that the packers will require
OF every man in their employ q writ
ten guarantee that he will give the
firm three or four days notice before
leaving. and . money deposit will he
required from every employe to cover
his guaranty.
LATER. b. HALEY. a member of
the executive committee Of the Pack
ers Assembly, says the statement that
the strike had been declared offby the
knights was 0 mistake. He does not
undertake to explain how the mistake
was made and can only say that short
lv before 8 p. m. the Packers were in
receipt of information, which, though
not Official, was considered by them TO
be reliable. Messrs. Barney and Carle-
ton, members Of the Knights Of Labor
general executive committee, denied
to reporters shortly after6 o'clock, that
there had been any change whatever
in the status Of the strike.

OTTAWA, On,., Nov. ll.-Dr. RObt.
Bell, of the geological survey, has re-
turned from three months survey of
the Seven district, south of Hudson Is
Bay. The result of bis observations
is to show the practicability, so far as

every respect adapted to the construc-
tion of the line. and no serious objec-
tions Of any moment will be met with.
He is confident of the success of the

Churchill Harbor is open five months
in the year, and tie straits would

CONsCIENCE-sTRICKEN.
Forty Thousand People Try TO HeI
Sam Jones Preach.

CINCINNATI, o., Feb. 14.-An extraor-
dinary scene took place tonight at Music
hall. 1t was the closing night of the meet
ingS of Sam Jones and Sam Small. The
services were to begin at at 7:30 p. m. AT
6 p. M, when the doors were opened, over
six thousand people were pressing for adj
mission, and five minutes after every seat
in the hall was taken. Then the stage was
packed until people, among them women,
sat on the front edge. Eight thousand peo-
pie were packed in the house. The ''odon"
adjoining was also packed full. Small
preached there. At o'clock, when DR..
Joyce made his way on the stage, he said
he had entered with great difficulty; that
the front of the hall was packed with peo-
pie vainly trying to enter. and that the
streets for three squares were a solid mass
of people. He was sure that 25 600 people
had tried to enter Music hall. Fifteen min
utes later another minister arrived and said
there were 800 unable to get in. Ten
minutes later Sam Jones appeared, and said
policeman had told him there were 40, ,O00
people in and about Music hall. Jones
preached to an attentive audience. He goes
home tomorrow to rest, and in two weeks
begins preaching in Chicago.

THE POsTMAsrERs.
Preparations Made for the COnVen-
tiOn at Chicago To-day.

CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-About fifty of the
delegates to the national convention of
third and fourth-class postmasters which
will be held here tomorrow, met this aft
ernoon to arrange preliminaries. NJ. Ii.
Westbrook of Iowa, who presided, advised
that they seek a redress of their grievances
in quiet way and as matter of right and
not in any sense as a demand. The COM
mitttee composed of one member from each
state, was represented, and the local COM
mittee of arrangements was appointed
to map program for the con-
ventiOn. 1t was decided that the
convention be asked to appoint
committee on the matter of mailing let
ters on postal cars, which, it was claimed,
had deprived newly-appOinted postmasters
of half or more than half of the legitimate
income of their offices. Hundreds of let
tiers had been received from postmaSters
concerning this species of boycotting, and
1t was proposed that the committee be
called 1.-The boycottiDg committee" This
was objected to, as it might drag politics
into the convention and destroy its useful
ness. A number of other committees were
suggested, and the officers of the commit
mittee on program were authorized TO act
in making the temporary organization of
the convention.

A BOGUS BARON.
How a Valet Worked Unsuspecting
Quaker City People.

Special to the GLOBE.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. IA man
calling himself Baron Herman Won Ubel,
who has been lionized by Philadelphia
society for more than a year, and who was
the associate of Alan Arthur when the ex-
presidents son was at Princeton college,
has left here suddenly owing women and
tradeSmen over $4,000. He made his
home at the fashionable boarding house of
Miss Wildham Taylor at No. l, 722 Walnut
street. Until about three years ago the So
called baron lived lavishly. Miss Taylor
provided for his wants and nothing in the
way of choice viands and rare wines was
considered too good. He said that he had
come TO America on account of political
Scrape. His story was thoroughly believed
by the unsuspecting woman and her niece.
They received many attentions in the way
of bouquets and presents, and the fact that
for eighteen months he
DID NOT PAY ONE CENT
on account of his board did not more than
raise passing suspicion, which he had little
difficulty in allaying. He left about
O'Clock in the morning, taking everything
with him. His bill here amounted to some
thing like 81. 800, in addition to which Miss
Taylor had paid for him several large bills,
volunteering MIN her purse pending the ar
rival of long-looked-fOr remittance from
Berlin. Among other creditors whom he
left behind to mourn his departure are his
tailor, whose bill foots up between $500
and S400, numerous hatters and mems fur
nishers and two or three large jewelers.
He played high games at several of the
clubs, and. it is said, generally won. There
are several stories aflOat as to his origin,
the one most generally believed being that
he was valet to the real Baron Won Ubel,
who in dying left him some little money,
and that he resurrected and adopted the
title of his dead MASTER
