The Glass-worker's Quarrel.

PIrTsBURG March 8-The difficulty between
the American -gass-workers' Union and
members of the Knights of Labor at McBeth's
factory is still unsettled, but there is every indi
cation that serious results will be averted. To-
day the factory committee served notice on the
firm to the effect that the union men will
quit work on Tuesday evening unless the Knights
of Labor members either discontinue work, or
become subject to the rules of the local Flint
glass-workers' Union. Mr.. McBeth says he will
not discharge the members Of the Knights of
Labor, and, unless the two organizations
straighten out matters, will continue in opera
ton with reduced force.

A curious characteristic of the Washington
monument was related by Colonel Casey alta re-
cent meeting of the society On every bright day
the apex of the monument moves at least one
inch westward in the morning. when the SUMS
rays first fall upon it. and eastward again in the
afternoon, when the sun reaches the western
side. The heat of the sun has an expansive effect
upon the masonry, and the plummet that is sus-
pended in the interior of the monument registers
this movement from day to day.

OTHER LABOR NEWS.

Promise of Long Struggle Between Whitley
and the Knights.
SPRINGFIELD o., March 8.-The conflict be-
tween the Knights of Labor and their late en-
p1oyers, the proprietors of the Eaststreet reaper
works, promises to be long continued. William
N. Whitley, who is at the head of the works,
says he wants no employe who cannot testify to
and sign the following:
''This is to certify that have withdrawn from
the Knights of Labor, or associations OF like
kind, and no longer under their dictatior,
having restored myself to manhood and indie
pendence as a free American citizen
Everything now awaits the arrival of the ma
tional arbitration board of the Knights of La
bor Mr. Whitley says that he is fighting for
principle, and refuses to treat with any commit
tee representing the Knights of Labor, but will
treat with members of committees individually,
as independent citizens 1t is doubtful whether
he will treat with the national board of arbitra-
tioE on its arrival. His action in discharging
the Knights in of the largest industrial
shops in the world has attracted general atten-
Iion and his policy is of the principal topics
Of discussion in labor circles.

The KNIGHTS Urganize POLITICAL Party.
DECATUR ILL.,, March 8.-The action of the
Knights of Labor at Decatur, in forming a new
political party, is attracting much attention in
this section. They declare in their platform:
I'VE have formed new national political
party, to be known as the United Labor Party of
America, for the purpose of organizing and di-
recting the great political power of the industrial
masses as a political organization. and will
cast our ballots for no one who will not pledge
himself to stand firmly by our principles
All voters are called upon to emancipate the
wage-workers of the country from the siron
hand of the capitalist" They declare that the
alarming Developments and aggressivenesso of great
capitalists and corporations, unless checked will
inevitably lead to the pauperization and hopeless
degradation of the toiling masses.

OLD MOUNT eTNA.
Destruction Wrought by various Erup-
tions Of This Treacherous Volcano.


Destruction Wrought by various Erup-
tions OF This Treacherous Volcano.
The celebrated volcano Of Mount
Etna isonce more in q state oferuption.
Ever since n record has been made and
kept of Etna its great disturbances
have been preceded by earthquakes,
loud explosions are heard. riffs finally
open in the sides Of the famous mount
ain, then smoke, sand, ashes and scorie
are discharged, cinders are thrown out
and accumulate around in conical
form. and at last lava rises through
the cone, often breaking down one side
of It, whore there is the least resistance.
and flowing over the surrounding
country.
There have been some seventy-nine
recorded cruptions, the most of these
of harmless character. A few only
have been violent The most noted OF
these oruptions occurred at widely sep
arate periods, but their effects will not
be forgotten while man inhabits the
earth. In the year 1859 an eruption
took place which overwhelmed Ca.
tania. when $4,000 inhabitants per.
ishcd in the burning ruins just 60C
years later-that is, in thousands
and tens Of thousands perishcd in the
streams of lava which rolled over the
adjoining country for forty days. IN
the month of May, 1880, several ad
iacent villages were destroyed, and
showers of lava reached near 10 the
Eternal City itself On November ~
1882, the town of Bronte was destroyed,
and in August and September. 1852
violent eruptions occurred. Violent
eruptions also took place November 2S
1868. and May 26 and June z, 1879.
The loss OF life during the Christian
era has been very great, while the do
struction of property is uncounted
The condition Of the region around
the volcano proper may be readily
guessed when it is explained that there
are two cities, Catania and Acl Reale
and sixty-thrce towns or villages on
Mount Etna. Indeed, Il is much more
thickly populated than any other part OF
Sicily or Italy. No fewer than 800, 200
persons live on the mountain. The
area of the region described Us the
mountain is approximately 4S0 square
miles. The height Of the mountain is
0,S68 feet. The radius of vision from
the summit has been variously stated
but the mean distance is probably not
far from $50 miles. The reason foI
the large population Is found in the
fact that the surface soil is extremely
fertile, and the vine flourishes, rs well
rs grains, olives, oranges. lemons,
figs and others fruits. The forests
are extensive and valuable. The des-
ort region, which is nearest the open
ings of the cones, is embraced between
the limit of $500 feet and the summit.
1t occupies an area of about ten square
miles, and consists of n dreary waste
Of black sand. scoriP, ashes and mass
es of elected lava. II remains in au-
tumn, winter and spring permanently
covered with snow, and even in the
height OF summer snow may be found
in sheltered places in the ncighbor-
hood of the summit. - Chicago Inter

Under this scathing rcbuke Uncle
Joel rctreated to the pantry and con-
tinucd his search.
/" What in the world are YOU sput-

wife called, as the cla.ter Of pans and
dishes first drew her attention TO
Uncle Jocrs trespass upon forbidden
ground.
"Why, I'm lookin' for them eggs,

spockled hen, didn't ycp an l can't

Hannah started hurriedly for the PAN
try, when an exclamation Of 20 Mis-
/ Potter, do seel' recalled her.
And what a sight There, in the
feathery depths of the chair cushion,
was the old felt hat crushed as fiat as a
pancake, and all that remained of the
dozen eggs was n mass of broken
shells, whites and yrlks mixed in q
manner not common in cako-making.
Her dress was plentifully plastercd
with the mixture, and every movement
sent drippings of It down to the floor.
In her eagerness to hear her neigh
bor's story she had sat down without
looking behind her, and the soft depths
OF the cushions had given no warning OF
the mischief she was doing.

riblo mixture.
"Well, Hannah" said Uncle Joel.

no retort ready; and the old specklcd
hen was not set that day. - Jennie

A DEPLORABLE FATE.
A Sane Mans Long Confinement In n
French Lunatic Asylum.


French Lunatio Asylum.
Jean Mistral. the supposed lunatic,
who has been confined for years in the
Montpelier Asylum for the Insane. has
finally been liberated after a hearing
IN his case by the Tarascon tribunal.
His fortune, with the accumulated in
terest, now amounts TO $1,000, 600
francs. His story is a peculiarly sal
one. He is now searching for his wife,
whom his relatives expelled from
France in 1887 because she refused in
return for an annuity of 500 francs TO
acknowledge herself a woman Of bad
character Jean Mistral is cousin Of
Frederick Mstral, the poet, and is now
an old man, much bent and with a
frightened manner. He is completely
broken down and his nerves are shat.
tered. His experiences in the mad
house were dreadful and totally
wrecked him physically, although his
mind is sound. He refused to believe
that he was to be heard by the tribu-
nal after so many years Of disappOint-
ment and neglect until he was actual
" taken there. Then he burst into
tears, and IL was some time before be
was sufficiently composed to talk.
The president Of the tribunal reas-
Sured him and then he told his story
lucidly, and in n straightforward, lo2i-
cal way answered all the tests OF sanity
and satisfactorily demonstrated that
there was no Legitimate ground for his
incarceration. He said he had married
when n young man without the con-
sent of his parents an opera-singcr
named Dombrowska. The marriage
took place in Poscn. The refusal OF
the parents to recognize the marriage
was based on the absence Of dot, as the
bride brought nothing with her but yo-
cal talent and the money which she
had earned by it. Mistral's parents
declined to allow any income, and he
and bis wife lived for some time on the
proceeds Of her operate engagements.
After q while DOmbrowska's voice
failed, and then they became itinerant
musicians and managed TO exc out a
Ecanty sustenancs. The wife at last
consented TO a temporary separation in
the hope that her husband would be-
come rcconciled with his parents, ana
be relieved from the hardships which
he was obliged to endure.
As soon as Mistral placed himself
within reach Of his relations they had
him arrested on a charge Of lunacy.
From that time 10 this he has not seen
bis wife or heard any thing about her
Now that he has come into the family
fortune he will probably spend the rest
Of his life in trying to find her If she
has not died in the meantime.
The Paris newspaper POiidire topk
up eases Of this sort three years ago and
began a vigorous agitation in behalf of
sane persons confined as lunatics This
instance excited wide interest and so
Aagrant a case Of wrong will probably
lead to the repeal Of the lunacy law as
It now exists In France and remedial
legislation on the subject. --Pari5 Cor.
