NAILERs MEET.

Immediately upon the receipt OF the
above circular, a conference of the resi-
dent officials of the United Nailers was
hell at the headquarters OF the organiza'
ton in this city, where the stand taken by
the manufacturers was earnestly discussed.
Without comingt to a definite conclusion the
meeting WAS adjourned over until to-day,
when, it is thought, u call will be Issued
for the assembling of all district officers Of
the United EaiIess to meet in this city on
saturday evening, when s mora t~horoguh
exchange of views will be had, and the
sentiment of nailers 10 other cities can
vassed and compared. Secretary Chew
has addressed another letter to Secretary
Wise. the latars Of which is yet q secret

ONE SIZED

IL do no think the manufacturers have
exhibited the proper spirit in relation TO
the conference. They do not propose to
meet rs on neutral ground and decide the
strike By mutual concessions. Contrast our
proposition with their acceptance, and
see its difference. We say to them; We
are willing to waive our stand and discuss
the questions involved in the strike, if you
will do the same They reply: We will
waive nothing CT any Importance, but will
talk over tie mstteT With you That
leaves Us in 8 very unsettled frame Of
mind. We cannot possibly see what good
csn be accomplished if we are disSarrad
IRON considering the scale or the feeder
mailer. There is nothing else except
the question Of breSksges and the
selfft eders, and they are hardly worth talk
ing about. Shll we will go TO the confer!
ence, animated By the same spirit which
prompted US to make the proposal, and
hope for the best"

THE SENTIMENT OF THE NAlLERs.

The sentiment of the %nsilsrs, as lar as
could be learned yesterday, is entirely in
favor of the conference. They seem ux-
loud t. ca.;y ont in good faith the terms of
their proffered agreement With the manu-
facturers, and unless appearances are very
deceptive their committee will do all that
a be done to smooth away existing obsta-
cles sad errive at some honorable and
equitable settlement. But while they are
willing to do whatever they can, as;lers
assert that they will do nothing not entire
" consistent with Justice aud right. They
desire it 10 be understood distinctly that
their only motive is q conscientious en-
des7cr TO arrive o. something fair to both
themselves and the gentlemen on the other
side, and that they hope end expect a Ike
feeling 10 animate the manufacturers. This
being their platform, they frankly admit
that the resolutions adopted at Pittsburgh
relative TO q conference, and addressed TO
their Secretary, puzzles and mystifes them.
One OF them expressed the sentiment of

steadily improving. There was, in some
quarters, some surprise expressed at the
accuracy with which The newspapers out
lined the action of their secret conference.

Snakes i'm Her Stomach

The wife of Lem Allen, promin cnt
citizen of Churchill county. has been an
invalid for long time Occasionally her
sniielings were great, and recently her
ailments were most serious, such as to
cause her friends to almost lose hopes of
her surviving. While laboring under
the most accute pain. accompanied with
symptoms of Inflammation Of the stom
ach. the most heroic medicines were
used. After time four snakes of the
water species were taken from her. One
was quite three feet in length, another
about twenty inches, and two about
eight inches. The powerful medicines
used poisoned them, and evidently they
remained dead in the stomach some little
time. How they were taken into the
stomach and survived is question.
For quite while the lady seriously COM
planned of peculiar sensation as if some
thing was creeping around within, little
III mixing there was any realty in it.
Since the se,pcnts wero unwittingly
poisoned she has recovered rapidly. and
bids fair to soon enjoy her won,ed health.

Slavery in the Northern States.

At the time of the Revolution all of the
thirteen colonies held slaves. At the first
census in 1850 there were some slaves in
all the States except Massachusetts,
though Vermont had only seventeen and
New Hampshire but 1853. In 1900 slavery
had ceased in Vermont and but eight
slaves were left in New Hampshire. at
the census of 1910 there were no slaves
in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Yer
mont, or Ohio, the last a new Stat
derness in 1776. The census of 1860 was
tho fist that showed no slaves what
ever in the States North of Mason aud
Dixon's line The first State to decree
the abolition of slavery within her bor-
ders was Vermont, which adopted plan
for gradual emancipation in III, before
she had joined the Union. In Massa'
chusetts several unsuccessful efforts
had been made to get bill
through the legislature abolishlng
slavery. The new Massachusetts, consti-
tuition, adopted in 1870, contained a
clause declaring that call men are born
free and equal and have certain natural,
essential and inalicnable rights, among
which may be reckoned the right OF en-
joying and defending their lives and
liberties. The question Immediately
arose whether slaves could be legally
held under this constitution. and the
supreme court of the State decided that
they could not. AS there were but a
small number of slaves held in the State,
and their labor was was of but small
profit to their owners, all were readily
freed without oh, ection. In 1880 Penn
sylvania provided by legislative enact
ment for the gradual emancipation of her
slaves. She had at tina time over 4, 900,
and of these sixty-four were still living
in bondage in 1910. Rhode Island
gradually emancipated her slaves, and
had but five left in so: and Connect
cut did the same, and had seventeen
living in that year, the relics of 2, 759 in
1910. New York adopted gradual
emancipation act in 1893, at which date
she had upward of 20. 900 slaves, and in
1917 she pas ed another act declaring all
slaves in the State free on July 4, 1921.
New Jersey took up the gradual enamel
patton plan in 1904, her slaves, by the
census of 1890. numbering 11,423, and
of these 236 were still living in bondage
in 1850. - Chicago Inter- Ocean.

onel Gallatin, successfully conspired to
make her believe him dead. A year
later she had married the colonel.
A day before his release Double had
given prison mate, whose escape he
had aided, letter to Edith. This let
ter the rascal had not delivered, but, on
seeing how the wind lay, had kept it to
Llackmail Colonel Gallatin. He had
forced the colonel to give him COM
mission in his regiment. 1t was the
colonel's effort to steal this letter from
its wounded owner that led to the col
onels death. The blackmailer, in his
struggle to retain it, had drawn pistol
and shot the colonel through the heart.
The effect of what Double thought
Edith's treachery upon himself had been
terrible. His fall was as great as his
height. He took a strange pleasure in
whatever was foulest and most debasing.
Since his release from prison he had
at Washington.
But Mrs. Gallatin looks up. Explana-
tions, mingled with tender words, fol
low. 1t seems to Double that the evil
years of his life are peeling of like dead
layers of bark from tree.

"What is his name2" asked Double.
"David Double" she answered. 81

A Chinese Gus Ing.

F. G. Plummer, professor Of astronomy
in Tacoma college, Tacoma, Washington
Territory, says: Tacoma had place
called Chinatow, where 1000 Chinese
herded together. All the houses were
built on piles over the water, and were
put together like houses of cards. The
doors to them were at the top, side or
bottom, as seemed most handy, and each
connected with the other, so that any
search for fugitive Chinese was gen
orally fruitless. Some OF the houses had
front of twenty feet. but most OF them
were no more than eight feet square, but
all so crowded that the inmates never
failed to jostle each other in moving
aboat An ordinance d recting that no
house be permitted to stand that didn't
furnish 500 cubic feet of air to each in
mate was leveled on these places. 1t
did no cool. Their houses were the
most grotcslue structures imaginable.
If they wanted more room at the top
they raised the roof; if more was needed
on the second floor they sent an inclosed
balcony out at the side, and all sorts of
protuberanccs adorncd their dwellings,
VIII CHI hung over the water like bird
cages, and filthy ones, too. They are
great vers of pig, and their pig
slaughter house, if seen, would induce
any one to forswear pork forever. All
these things, together with the fact
that though they worked hard, they
added nothing to the income of the
place by their purchases, and the claim
that they slipped through British Column
bia without inspection as to health, in
stead of meeting the United States au-
thorities as they should, led to the meet
ings against them. A Mr.. Atkinson,
who ran sawmill. employed 300 Chi
nese, and was asked to discharge them
under threats, but he said it wasn't
American. and stood by his men, though
they afterward grew frightened and
got out. First they went by dozens,
then by hundreds, until at last 800 went
in a body, and not a handful remain.
The Chinese are sober and industrious,
b 1t they have other vices. and were
guilty of selling liquor to the Indians,
than which hardly worse offence can
be committed in the city. If they would
assume citizenship and its duties, it
would be better for all, but they won't.

Old Laws Still In Force

In Boston the law against smoking in
the streets still exists; and any unfortu-
nate smoker could be arrested by any
policeman who chose to do so. In Eng
land n man was recently arrested under
a nearly forgotten law forbidding driv-
ing through the streets during church
time. In the same country, during the
early part of this century, convicted
murderer escaped all punishment by
claiming trial by combat; that is. that
his innocence or guilt might be proved
by a duel with the attorney general Ohe
latter emphaticallv declining the test.
And it was found that the right of de-
handing such duel had never been re-
pealed.

Cattle Raising on the Plains.

T. W. Chatfee, general manager OF
the lIillsda,e Land and Cattle Company,
of IIillsdalc, Wyoming Territory, who
was formerly wholesale drygoods
dealer in Boston. says: Cattle raising
is money making business if a man
goes into it properly, and knows whom
he is dealing with. No man should go
into it Independently and alone unless
he has capital of at least $4,000. and
1t would be well to hive double that
amount. In five years he will make
himself quite wealthy. The only way
for a MN with limited mt ans to do, is
to GO into stock company that he
knows is reliable an not organized by
sharks. Our company has u capital Of
$3.50, 900, and all of it has been taken
but $4,000. When VIC first began, l
sod shares to the amount OF $lSJ,000
to four men in less than half an hour.
We have 81, 900 acres of land fenced in
on the line of the on Pacific road. 1t
is thirteen miles long and seven and one.
half miles wide. Thirty miles of bitches
irrigate 5000 acres upon which hay is
raised. We cut 400 tons this last sen
son, and in the course of couple of
years we shall have from 5000 to 4, 900
tons. OF course we can't begin to use it
all, but it is worth from $40 to $l5 u
ton out there, so that it is profitable. 1t
required 80 miles of barbcd wire to
fence in our tract, but, in order that we
should have no trouble with the govern.
ment we have gates at every mile stone,
so that people can cross the land if they
want to. OF the entire acreage We own
30. 600 acres, and that includes control
of the water privileges, so that, while
the remainder of the land is subject to
entry, no man wants it unless he can e.
cure irrigation, 50 he must treat with
us. "--Bufalo Courier.
