Anarchist Avengers.

Two hundred Anarchists met at
Turn hall, Cleveland, Ohio, on Sunday
last, to denounce the action OF the CHI
cago jury in conyicting the bomb
tl.rowers. The police were not present,
but speakers kept close watch OF the
outer door, evidently anticipating q
visit from officers. Chris Saam, leader
Of the Cleveland group, was the princi-
pal speaker. He first read Lawyer
Blacks speech to the Chicago jury. He
denounced Mayor Gardner for refusing
to permit the use Of the public square
for an Anarchist mass meeting, saying:
IF a rich man had asked for the
SQUARE, the mayor would have given it
to him, but because the appeal came
from poor Anarchists, we are kicked
OUT Saan1 said if the ven convicted
Anarchists in Chicago We're hung,
seven hundred thousand avengers
would arise from their blood. This
sentiment was cheered, and Saam en-
larged upon the fact that the execution
of the Chicago murderers would be
avenged. A collection was taken up,
the object being to assist the Chicago
murderers in obtaining new trial. Zen
dollars aud sixty~nine cents was the
amount realized.

FINDING a TREASURE.
An Industrious Ohio yyomans Gratifying
and Remnnerative Discovery.
Mount Ferry (O.) Letter.1

Mount Ferry CO., Letter.1
This growing village, OH the Columbus
& Eastern railroad, is considerably stirred
up over the finding of a pile of money in
an old deserted log house John Ford lives
in a house on James Wikens' farm, and in
the same yard there stands an old log
house that has not been used as a dwelling
for twenty-five years, but has been used
for an old clubhouse. Mrs. Ford being q
very Industrious woman and wanting a
clothes-rack, and not wanting to bother
her husband to make it, thought to make
it herself. III order to getlumber she went
to the old house, and there she found ons
of Che boards nailed to the logs in the build
ing. To remove it was only the work OF
few moments, when she saw another
board set in the log in square hole;
and with a woman's curiosity to
see what was behind that board she re-
moved it. It came off, and the hole was
found to be filled with little sacks made Of
old-fashioned linen. They were removed
and opened, and found to contain $500 in
silver and $3.50 in gold: The latest made
coin in the lot was made in 1880. Some Of
it shows thu t it must have been in there
about fifty years. and was variety of old
coin of all kinds AS to how it got there Of
course no one knows. In an early day
g. man by the name OF Keefover
settled the place and built the log house.
He was man Of considerable means and
gold and silver was his kind. He lived and
died there, and it is supposed he put it
there. But it matters not who put it there,
it has fallen into good hands now. The
family that found it and possesses it is in
! very ordinary circumstances and the mon
ey will come very good to them: There
have been 81 number Of other persons who
have lived in the same house before and
the only trouble now is as to the danger OF
these men abusing their women for NOT
wanting to make a clothes-rac and fnd.

agent for a well-known insurance CONF
pany of Connecticut and some time ago
our company got out an advertisement ia

court plaster, with our compliments print
ed in gilt and gold letters IN the face Of
the little envelopes. Ii was neat adyer-
tisement, and many thousands Of the lit
tie packets We're given away, largely in
hotels. The last time I was out hero [ had
lot of them with me, and put them on
the counter here where gentlemen could
help themselves. This morning I bruised
my hand a little on the elevator door, and,
on looking in my pocket, found that had
failed to keep packet of court-plaster.
Going to one of the haberdasher stands In
the rotanda found q sign displayed an
nouncng that court-plaster was there for

Is Mr., Powderly's Life in Danger.

A New York telegram Of a recent
date reads thus: The publication Of a
special despatch from Pittsburg i'll re-
card to an alleged plot to kill Grand
Master Powderly, of the Knights of
Labor, was q general topic of converse
ton among the knights in this city to-
day. There is a difference Of opinion
as to whether there was such a plot or
not. The story as told was that during
the Duryea's boycott, in 1888, there was
all exceedingly bitter feeling against
Mr.. Powderly and General Secretary
Layton for having severely disciplined
the local assemblies. This, it is said,
led first to the formation OF the we'll
known 'sHome c!ub.' and AFTERWARDS to
plot to throw Powderly into the Hud-
son river from one Of the Jersey city
ferry boats. The plot was well laid, it
is said. when one of those on the inside
sent an anonymous note to Powderly,
and warned him to be on his guard.
The whole thing was laid to the Home
club. An alleged member Of the Home
club when shown the despatch said !:
'Hhat story has been floating around
for the last two or. three years and is
devoid oiany foundation. The Home
club has been out of existence for over
ayear." Notmuch credence is given
( to the rumor.

A Pretty story from Yankeedom.
[Danbury Comm News.

lDanbury CONN., news.
A lady living on Main street left bowl
of milk standing on the pantry shelf Out
came mouse and spied a cool drink of the
delicious beverage. Unfortunately for the
little feaster it fell into the flowing bowl.
Now, to die from the flowing bowl the
mouse felt would be a great disgrace. But
the question was to sink or swim. The
mouse Immediately put on its thinking cap
and began to churn tie milk by swimming
back and forth. In couple OF minutes
the butter came and then this smart
mouse stood upon the shelf, but with guam
titles of the butter sticking to it's paws, for
she tracked it all about the clean pantry.
This mouse story of churning butter, which
is a true one, is a great witness in favor of
the honesty Of our milkmen, for had it been
as poor in quality as some milk the mouse
would have drowned

Monday, and fully 10000 people who
were at work a week ago, have been
thrown out OF employment in conse--
quence Of it. There are in the shops
under the control of the manufacturers
association about eight hundred cut
ters. The rest of the people who are
thrown out Of work are the tailors,
pressers, trimmers, and buttonhole
workers. They have all decided to do
no more work until the trouble between
the manufacturers association and the
united clothing cutters has been set
tied. The fight was brought about by
O. demand ON the part of the cutters
that no non-union men should be en-

The Right Kind Of Protection.

If protection is the solution Of the Ia
Dor problem, as Mr.. Blaine says, why
have we not received some Of the benz
fits, We are for protection that will
protect and not for a system OF protec-
ton that is the creator Of gigantic mon
opolies. We believe that the working
map. for whose benefit the protection
laws were ostensibly passed, are the
only ones who are deprived OF it's bene-
fits, and are, il consequence, the sub
jects of ring rule and robbery.

GENERAL LABOR NEWS.
True Union.

The greatest drawback with which
the cause of labor has to contend is the
lack of unanimity Of feeling and .sentl-
ment between members Of unions, and
want of sympathy between the di1fef-
ent trades. Without steadfastness ana
earnestness of purpose, combined WITH
union Of thought and action, no great
end can be Observation-Disclosures

A Hebrew University.

It is said that incipient steps have been taken to founding in the city of New York university with special reference to the wants of the Jews in this country who are seeking for higher forms of education. Not long since large meeting of delegates from different sections of the United States was held in the vestry of the Nineteenth Street Synagogue to take the matter into consideration and determine upon the feasibility of the proposed plan. It is understood that the institution is to be based on Judaic law, is to be faithful to the ancestral spirit, and means to set itself against the rationalistic tenden- cies which have shown themselves in our times, to cut loose from the old Hebrew moorings. Well ithas been re- marked that ''as the seat of Hebrew and Oriental learning" the proposed university twill be an important addi- ton to our collegiate institutions. "- Morning StGr.
