Hold Meeting and Wave the Red Flag, auS
Vigorously Defend the Action of
Their Brethren In Chicago.
CLEVELAND, O., May 13.-At Q well-at.
tended meeting ofthe Anarchists, held In
hall above saloon, corner of Pearl and
Monroe streets, on the West Side, this even.
ing, speeches of the most inceudiary char.
acter were made in German and loudly
applauded. Scattered about in tho audi.
ence were . number Of police in citi.
sens' clothes, and Of their presence the
assembly was soon made aware by
Charles Seen, Socialist leader here who
- president OF tho meeting inaugurated
the blood-thirsty speeches as follows:
"Brother Anarchists, would not waste
words here tonight, but would advise you
to 60 out and do as your brethren in Chi
cago did, but there are spoilers present,
and should do 20 would be arrested, and
thus our glory would end But be patient;
our time will come. Capital will
have to yield In the end, not by ar
bitration, but by force" Resolutions
were then adopted approving the &C
ton OF the Socialists in Chicago, and by
this time the members present seemed
worked up to fever heat. An old man
took the floor and urged his comrades to
save money for dynamite. "A Winches-
ter rife costs SlS," said he; ''think how
many bombs you can purchase for that
sum. Stop buying watches and save your
money for dynamite" One Of the calmer
listeners objected to this speech and the
hall was soon in an uproar. Cries of "Put
him out, /" ''Throw him out of the Window
resounded, and it looked for . moment -
II violence was about to be used The pres
ident managed to rap to order, however,
and after several moro incendiary speeches
he adjourned the meeting until Saturday
evening, saying that the time would soon
come when their cause would triumph and
when Socialism would rule.

nett, the First Confederate General
Killed in the Late War.
WOOSTER, O., May 12-John Manson died
at the county inflrmary last night, aged
seventy-eight years. For years he followed
the sea as sailor In the United States
navy, and also in the merchants service.
His body, arms and limbs were covered
with tattoo marks, and he would have been
. greater wonder than the bogus tattooed
men and women who gull the gaping
crowds at dime museums. "Happy Jack"
as he was familiarly known, was an
artist In the tattoo line and often
when apparently insensible from II.
quor he could design q portrait with
the accuracy and ease with which an artist
handles his brush. From a sailor he became
a soldier, and served through the late war
as private. He was in the three months
service in the Sixteenth Regiment, o. v. l.,
and is credited with the shooting Of General
Garnett, the first Confederate General kill
ed in tie war. The shooting took place at
Csrrack's Ford, viva, when the Confeder.
ates were repulsed at Rich Mountain, and
were on the retreat to Beverly in 1851. ID

The little son of L. o. Brien, of Patch
ogue, L. l., evidences most extraordi-
nary desire to devour his own flesh.
The boy is bright youngster, six years
of age, and his mind, save for his auto
cannibalistic tendency, is we'll balanced.
The boy, when left alone, tries to bite
pieces out of his arms and hands. He
seizes his flesh between his teeth, but he
seems to feel no pain. His arms are
covered with scars of self-inflicted
wounds. His parents bandage lis entire
body before he retires.

THERE is no country on the face of the
globe where labor has as good opportu-
mites as in this country. At the same
time, capital backed by energy and en-
terprise, has good show. Many of
our rich men have risen from the ranks
of labor, which would be next to impos-
sible in any other country. If capital
and labor will pull together there is no
good reason why they should not get
on together in America.
