NORWAY, April 27.-The shoe shop here is still
in operation, notwithstanding the reports to the
contrary that have been circulated throughout
the country The work at present is mainly upon
samples, as usual at the end of the seasons run,
but sufficient amount of business is done to keep
the weekly pay roll up to about $4,000. This is
not equal to $1,000, but it is larger pay roll
than can be shown in any other manufacturing
establishment in this part of the State.

DR.. Benjamin B. Davis died at his
residence in Palmyra, on Saturday at
2 o'clock a. M, of bilstteral pneumo-
mia. He was born in that township
October 18th, 1858. In 1881 he was
married to Sophia Shultz, of Edin-
burgh, who, with a bright little boy
of about 8 years of age, still survives
him. Our subject had devoted his
young life to the acquiring of an edu-
cation, which together with his strong
intellectual powers, led him to pursue
the study of medicine, and at the age
of 80, III, he permanently located in
his native place, with an extended
practice, loved and respected by all
who had the pleasure of his acquain-
tance. He was benevolent, affection
ate and indulgent to his family; his
genial disposition and generous hos
pitality made him strong and abiding
friendships his thoroughness in the
investigation of subject made him
accurate in statement and strong in
the defense of his views, and he was
naturally an able cour sellor. He was
buried Monday at o'clock, nder the
auspices of the Masonic and knights
CT Pythias Lodges, of which he was
an honOred member. The services
were conducted by Revs. Morton and
Jinkin. The funeral was one of the
largest ever held in Palmyra. The
wife has the sympathy of a host of
friends and relatives in her last sad
bereavement. ~

A Terrible Crime.

The express Car of the Chicago and
Rock Island train, which leaves Chi
cago at IL p. M, was boarded by rob-
bers at Joliet at l O'Clock Saturday
morning, and the express messenger,
kellogg Nichols, killed, and money
and jewelry valued at from $25, 900 to
$4,000 stolen. AT the station of
Morris, twenty miles from Joliet, the
local agent forced open the door of the
car and found Nichols lying dead on
the floor, his head horribly beaten and
mutilated. AS the train does not stop
between Joliet and Morris, it is certain
the robbers must have boarded the
train at the former place. Great ex-
citement prevails, and detectives have
b.en put upon the track of the perpe-
traitors of the horrible deed.

at the White House. The third OF the
series of Diplomatic, Military and
Congressional receptions eclipsed the
preceding ones in several respects.
The attendance was large, while the
White House apartments were rarely

Senator Edmund's presence there at

hours before. Mr. and Mrs. Edmunds
stopped to chat few moments with

The Contest Between Labor and
GanttAl.

At present our whole country seems
to be considerably stirred up by innu-
strikes and labor troubles.
Capital is arrayed against labor, and I
labor is pitted against capital. A fierce
strike is raging on the Gould South |
Western system, the street car drivers
and conductors of Cincinnati are dis
satisfied with their pay, and are on
the verge of a strike; the street rail.
way troubles in Toronto, Canada, have
assumed serious aspect, and the
Trade and Labor Assemblies of Chi
cago are agitating the question of
eight hours for days work, In fact,
in great many parts of the country
be the order of the day. In the neigh
boring city of Akron. the Trades and
Labor Assembly of that city have Or
dered a general boycott on all the man.
ufactories with which J. f. Sieberling
is connected, on account of the refusal
of Mr.. Sieberling to advance the wa.
yes of the molders in his mower and
reaper works 25 per cent.
Labor and capital should go hand
in hand, and the efforts of the labor
ing men to antagonist capital by boy
cotting, or of capital to antagonist Ia
Dor by blacklisting, cannot be sugges-
tive of any good. It will only pro-
duce depression on both sides. But if
organised labor attempts to boycott
capital. by refusing to buy goods of
certain men, it must be expected that
capital has the right to say to the Ia
borers that they will not employ GER
tain men, to,wit, all members of So
called labor organizations. The fact
that certain concern discharged some
of its hands short time ago because
they were members of the Knights of
| Labor, was the sole cause of q strike,
but these same strikers were ready to
boycott the manufacturer because they
discharged or would not have in their
employ these Knights of Labor. The
principle is the same; one is called
| COL. OhC OtA3CA bAdOAlASes ~ AZ pro
posterous to suppose that labor can
exist without capital, or that capital
can exist without labor; and to array
one against the other can only produce
a state of society which none of US wish
so see. But no one can deny that if
labor can boycott capital, then capital
can blacklist labor, and say to the Ia
borer that it will refuse to employ men
who belong to any sort of Trades
Assembly or Workingmen's Union.
This boycotting is simply boomerang
| in the hands of the laboring element.
When thrown at. capital it comes back
with redoubled force. AS we have
said, labor can i'll afford to antagonist
1 capital, for without the laborer would
nave hard time to exist. Neither
should the power of capital grind down
too hard on the poor laborer, but each
should be willing to make concessions
to the other, and when differences ex.
ist have them settled without either
the boycott or blacklist. When this is
so, both elements will be better off.

OBITUARY..

James Tuffing was born in Green
wich, London, England, Nov. 18th,
1898, and died at his home in Edin-
burg township, Portage county, Ohio,
February 2sth 1886, of typhoid pneu-
monia.
Bro, Tuffing united with the Protes-
tant Episcopal Church of England.
about the year 1880. He came from
London to this country in the fall of
1854, and first settled in Palmyra, o.
There he Joined the M. E. Church in
1851, under the labors of Rev Heard.
From Palmyra he moved to his late
home in 1873, and united with the M.
E. Church at Edinburg Center, and
was an acceptable member till death.
His membership in both churches and
countries covered period of nearly
so years. When health and weather
would permit, he was regular in his
attendance upon the preaching of the
Word. In experience meetings he
would give in his testimony and re-
spond in prayer, whenever called upon
He was energetic, of firm will and
impulsive temperament. Humble,
generous, grateful, kind, patriotic,
prayerful, devout. Since the death of
his wife, last March, he felt lonesome.
He felt impressed that he would soon
follow, and was unusually prayerful
and devout the past year. The day
before his death 1 called to see him,
and he tried to sing,

He was often heard singing,

Like the Patriarchs of old, among
the last things he did, was to put his
hands upon the heads of his daughters,

A Significant Fact,

At a meeting of the various Cham
bers of Commerce of Great Britain,
embracing delegates from the Cham
bers of all the important cities in the
United Kingdom, the following i'm
portant resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That the depreciation of
silver, and its present tendency toward
disuse as money. is disturbing trade
generally and England's Eastern com.
merce in particular. We urge the
Government to unite with other
yer to its former function as a legal
instead of a ductuating value.
While the plain people of the United
States find their views ON the silver
question vehemently opposed and de-
rided by the bankers and bondholders
of the Eastern States, it is encouraging
to find that they are thus heartily con-
Cured in by the enlightened and sa-
gacious merchants of England. Scot.

Before he was incarcerated in the Jail
he handed the much talked of returns
over to the Sheriff, when he was re-
delivered over to the custody of the
sergeant-at-arms of the House. He
was then conveyed to the bar of the

and he was then released from the
custody of the sergeant-at-arms, hav.
