KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Powdcrly's Letter Meets With High Favor
The Days Doings.

The Days DOings.
RICHMOND, Oct. 12.-The knights of
Labor assembled in convention promptly
at O'Clock this morning, determined to
make the most of their single session to-
day. Some work of the committees is
expected by the convention, but it is not
likely that there will be anything actually
accom- plished until tomorrow. Much is
said in comment about the letter of Mr..
Powderly sent the country through the
press late last night. Delegates are very
generally pleased with it and pronounce
its tone temperate and its spirit
based upon the fundamental prin
ciples of the order. The colored
people are greatly pleased and say it will
rally their race into organization in
every part of the country. Friends of
Mr.. Powderly were 10th to see him make
a statement upon this delicate subject in
this city, fearing that he might iniure
himself and the order if he did so, as it
seemed almost impossible for any man
TO do justice to the sentiment both north
and south in one connected statement,
but they declare he has succeeded admira-
bly,. A good deal of complaint is heard
because Mr.. Powderly is practicing an
exclusiveness at this time which makes 1T
almost impossible to consult or see him
outside the convention hall. be refuses
to receive cards and visitors at his hotel
whether on business or social missions.
During the morning session the report
of the committee on law was presented.
It recommended a change in the consti-
tuition by which the executive board shall
consist of a general master workman and
six N smbers, no two of whom shall be
from the same state. This part of the
report was adopted. 1t was also recon-
mended thas the Offices of the general sec
retary and treasurer be divided. No action
was taken on this part of the report.
Before adjournment it was stated that
amendments to the constitution were in
order, but owing to the lateness of the
hour none were presented to the assem-
bly, and at o'clock it adjourned until to-
morrow morning.

ADOLPH FISCHER.

Adolph Fischer's turn came next and
he was on the point of admitting his con-
nection with the revenge circular, when
Solomon, mindful of the bearing it might
have on the supreme court, tried TO
check him. 1t was useless. Fischer
said.
''Your honor, you ask me why sentence
of death should not be passed upon me.
1 will not talk much. l protest against
being sentenced to death because | have
committed no crime. l was tried in this
jury room for murder and l was convict
ed of anarchy. 1 don't deny that I was
one of the persons who summoned this
meeting in the Haymarket, but 1 know
no more about the throwing of the bomb
than Mr.. Grinnell does, perhaps. 1t is
fact, | do not deny"
Here Mr.. Solomon rose and going
over to Fischer, whispered something in
his ear.
Fischer turning round, said sharply:
Don't interrupt mG. | know what |
am talking about"
Solomon retired, and Fischer contin-
ued:
81 do not deny that 1 got up the circul
alton and had line put in calling on the
workingmen to come armed. 1 had my
reasons. l am not convicted because |
am a murderer. l am convicted because
l am an anarchist. l have never been a
murderer, but 1 know t. man who is on
the way to becoming a murderer and
that is States Attorney Grinnell, because
he has tlaced men upon the stand whom
he knew would swear falsely in a case
where eight lives were at stake. An An
archist loves his principles better than
his life and l am prepared to die for the
principles on account of holding which
feel l am to be sentenced to death.
That is all have to say
Lingg then began speaking, but before
he had concluded the court adjourned
until tomorrow. 1t is thought that the
Anarchists will be sentenced to be hang
ed on Dec. >.

When Ole Bull, the renowned vio-
linist, was staying in Paris, in 1910. he
returned home late one evening from
concert, and ds the night was cold he
ordered his man. to mako fire in his
room. The latter dragged toward the
fireplace q huge box, on which the
word "Firewood" was painted in large
letters. In answer to ole Bulls
astonished inquiry the servant told him
that the box had been delivered that
day at noon by his masters orders, as
he thought. On being broken open
the box was found to contain twenty
two violins and the following letter:
"Great Master: The undersigned, be-
ing members of various amateur phil
harmonic societies, hereby declare that
they will henceforth cease to perform
on the accompanying instruments. The
same wood from which Ole Bull can
draw life, love, sorrow, passion, and
melody is only to be regarded as-fuel
for the flames in the hands of the un-
dersigned, who therefore request the
maestro to make an auto-da-fe of the
Enclosures, and to look upon the as
cending smoke as incense offered to his
genius by penitent dabblers in the
noble art" This curious epistle bore
the signatures of twenty-five young
men. Three days afterward Ole Bull
gave dinner, to which he invited all
the senders of the valuable afrewood."
Each guest had lying before him on
the table one of the violins referred to,
and by its side gold ring with the in
scription, Solitude and Perseverance"
"a piece of seasonable advice to the
faint-hearted dilettante, and symbolic
indication of the means by which the
virtuoso himself had attained to fame.

Two Georgia Women.


Within fifteen miles of Atlanta, in a
pleasant little village, is perhaps the
only lady depot agent in Georgia. 1t
is possible that she is the only one In
this country. She was left dependent
on her own exertions several months
ago by the death of her husband, who
was the village depot agent at the time
of his demise. Although the railroad
was in no way responsible for the
agents sudden death, the vacancy at
the depot was promptly rendered the
widow. The pay was ii day, which
in the country is good salary for "a
woman. The position was accepted,
and the lady depot agent was duly IN
stalled. She receives and forwards
freight, sells tickets, and attends to
whatever business falls TO her lot, and
is giving entire satisfaction to the road
and to the public. The idea of lady
depot agent swinging a lantern around
the platform of the depot, meeting
trains and answering tiresome ques-
tons for dull public seemed novel
and heroic to me. l mentioned the
circumstance and expressed my admi-
ration in the presence of some lady
friends. l thought had found real
heroine, and was quite surprised by the
lack of enthusiasm which followed my
recital.
After a pause one of the ladies re-
marked: "The widow who took her hus-
bands place at the depot deserves great
praise, but there are many household
vacancies to be filled and few depots to
be kept Three years ago knew girl
"A graceful, slight anemone, with fair,
smooth hair; nervous, cold little
hands, and big, deep-blue eyes sensi-
lively mirroring all emotions that
stirred her gentle heart. never rested
my eyes on her graceful little form
without thinking somehow of the
Puritan maiden, Priscilla, and the
charm OF her pure. sweet nature. To-
day met my little friend, and she was
robed in black and had yelled in folds
of Grape her shining gold hair and ten
der blue eyes. This meek girl, this
fair maiden Priscilla, all stepped in
angel Instincts had taken upon her
own heart and hands the cares and
duties of mother to her young orphan
ed brothers and sisters"
"The widow and the young girl both
deserve praise" l remarked, "and both
instances are sad.
"Yes," was the reply. at is the pity
of it, Iago, the pity of it, in both cases
only the budding flower loses the JOY
of slowly unfolding to the soft sun
shine and rain of life's spring time,
while the widow has known both the
tender bliss of youths May-days and
the calm delights of the summers
fruitage. One is the heroism that dares
the other is the fortitude that en-
dures. But girl who patiently and
lovingly devotes LIES sweetest season
TO the good of others, setting her own
heart-throbs aside in q sacred silence,
earns the tenderest sympathies and
sweetest favors that friendship can
bestow."
