CHICAGO, December 22.-District AS
sembly No. "a, Knights of Labor, has aP-
pointed a committee of five which Is en-
gagged in the investigation of the Stock
Yards strike, and it is asserted to night
that the reason for the investigation is that
District Assembly No. 81 (the Packing
House employees assembly, has caused a
secret boycott to be issued against those OF
the Chicago packers who were particularly
hostile during the late strike. The two Dis
trict Assemblies embrace nearly all the
Knights in Chicago and Cook county.
District Assembly "a and Seamen's Dis
trict Assembly 136, it is said, were asked
to support the 81 boycott. The members
Of No. "a preferred thorough inyestiga-
ton of matters connected with the strike
before asking such step, and the COM
mittee is now taking testimony. Among
the witnesses summoned are Messrs Har-
per, Ga mt, and DOlan, who were expelled
from their local assemblies during the
strike. They were charged with
treason and several other Offenses
Upon the result of the investigation
depends the action to be taken in relation
to the boycott by ID. A. No. "a, the mem-
bership of which includes nearly all the
Knights in Chicago except the Packing

THE OLD SOLDIERS.

The report OF the Board Of Managers OF
the National Home for Disabled Volunteer
Soldiers WAS laid before the House to-day.
The Board says there should be more
accommodations furnished but are not
prepared TO recommend the enlargement OF
any OF the existing branches, unless II be
the western, which WAS built with view
70 very large expansion.
The average number OF inmates during
the last fiscal wear was 1916 against S.O3U
for the preceding year-an increase OF IL
Is per cent. This ratio OF increase Is said
t0 be likely To continue for decade IL
come. The survivors of the war are
growing old; their disabilities are
severe, and the number who are unable tC
support themselves, il rapidly increasing.
Notwithstanding the completion Of the
Home at LeayenwOrth, haS., there are yet
many disabled and destitute soldiers cared
for in almshOuSes. Ii Congress should
provide for assisting in maintaining then
soldiers in State homes by authorizing the
pavment OF One-half of the cost of thelI
support, the necessity for building addl,
tional homes might be avoided except in
the case of that recommended for the Pa
cIfc slope. The report says the Home Is
gradually becoming great hospital, and
the necessity for additional hospital ac'
commodations i more urgent every year.
The expenditure during the year was 81
6U9, 7gO. and the estimates for the next
year -, ,599, ,57l.

MOVING AGAINST PowDERLY:

The action Of General Master Workman
POwderly, in declaring the strike off, and
ordering the men back at 10 hours, ii is
said, has led to a strong local movement
to have him deposed. II is claimed that a
special session of the Knights General
Assembly can be convened upon call is
sued by live districts assemblies from five
States Those favoring the move say that
four other assemblies beside No. 81
can be secured beyond doubt,
and that such call will
he made. In this connection it is asserted
that r. p. Barry and Mr.. Carlton, the
two members of the General Executive
Committee who were sent to Chicago to
settle the strike, left the city with un-
friendly feeling toward Powderly, and it
is hintcd that crusade has been inaugu-
rated against him. In case a special ses-
sion of the General Assembly IS called be-
fore the next regular convention. it will
consist Of the same delegates that met at
Richmond. 1t IS this fact, says the anti
Powderly faction, that gives the move
ment pause.

Well. the man whose death at Niagara

the founder Of this community. A singular
history was his, and there have not been
many persons whose real doctrines were more
misunderstood.
Noyes was man Of fascinating manners
and fine literary culture and taste. he was
born in Brattleboro, VT, in 1911. From q
boy be was dreamer, person Of deeply
devout and meditative nature. N. Hep

Oneida community some years ago, and
wrote his impressions Of it and Of it's leader
Noyes he describes as q "tall, pale man, with
sandy hair and beard, gray, dreamy eyes,
good mouth, white temples, and a noble fore
head" There was something lion-like in his
face and shaggy head. He resembled Carlyle
in appearance, which was no great compli-

On the receipt recently Of the announce
ment that Archbishop Taseherau had bees,
elevated to the honor Of a place in the college
Of cardinals, the people Of Quebec celebrated
the event by pyrotechnic displaya Here a.
elsewhere throughout Canada commcmo-
rative services were held in the churches TO
show their appreciation Of their old prelate.
The reason for it all is that this kindly old
man hos, for the forty -four years that he
has been priest and shepherd among them,
given his time, talents and even offered his
life i'll their behalf. One Of his first acts
after his elevation to the ministry was to
give his services to the sick and dying
in The hospitals Of Crosse Isle It was
in 1s47, when an epidemic Of typhus fever
IN its most aggravated form broke out
among the emigrants and they were dying
by the hundreds in these hospitala The
young Father Tas chereau begged to be al
lowed to minister to them His wish was
granted, and he himself contracted the awful
malady. His life was spared, though. to
offer it many times since to the service OF the
needy. Father Taschereaus elf-sacrificc was
all the more commendable from the fact OF
his distin2 2uished family connections. His
mother was from the Panet family, and his
own name is one Of the most distinguished in
lower Canada, his father was q Leading
member Of parliament. His brother, Jean
Thomas Taschereau, was on the supreme
