chief Arthur's Wise Words.

New YORK commercial Advertiser.
The folio wing gems of sense and wisdom
are CLEANED from the address delivered by
Chief Arthur at the locomotive engineers
convention in this city:
II you would have name, fame, or wealth,
work for them.
Right is the only lasting foundation upon
which a man can build.
The workingman Of to-day may be the
capitalist Of five or ten years from now.
No man has right to anything which
does not come to him through the channel
Of honest requirement,
There is room enough for every man In a
country like this, aud every man disposed
to work must be allowed to find the chance.
Have an object in life; let IT be exalted as
possible, and If backed by a strong deter
mnation and honest endeavor, believe me,
you Will attain II.
We have no sympathy for nor cO-Opera-
ton with any class or set Of men who base
their claim upon he principle that might Is
right and the rich owe the poor living
What we are and what we have accom-
plished is the result Of long continued,
patient work, and IL behOOves us TO be eX.
tremely cautious how we interest ourselves
where there is nothing to gain but every
thing to lose.
That a good labor organization is good
thing we MAINTAIN, but that heterogeneous
mass Of men engaged in various Occupa-
lions can combine interests satisfactorily
to form an organization which shall serve
all, and with equal justice, we very much
doubt.
Much has been said and more written con,
corning the antagOnism between capital and
labor. TO my mind there is no such thing.
Between work aud idleness there has never
been any feeling other than antagOnistic,
aud it is those of the latter class who are
attempting to poison the minds of the in,
| dustrlOus.
There seems to be generally prevalent an
| idea that all capitalists are rich, whereas
the truth is that no great business enter,
prise is owned and controlled by one man,

many of them are hilly, rough, and have a
number Of steps aud terraces, better than
many who have lived here longer, aud

about Bill is his sense Of touch. He can tell
every one who has lived here any length Of
time by taking hold OF their hand In his,
and feeling for the various marks of his
different acquaintaDces. He recognizes
some by wart, mole, or scar, or per-
haps some enlargement of the finger joint,
Mr.. Frank MattoX, n citizen Of the county,
who lives twenty miles III one direction
from town, and Blind Bin seven miles In
the other, happened to meet him. Said Mr..
MattoX to some one standing by: "Bill has
not felt of t-y hand in ten years. ] wonder
If he will know me nowY"
"Yes, see" said many.
Bill was directed to him, and taking hold
of his hand began feeling 1t all over, and +,

Many instances could be given of Bill's

THE GIRLS ARE RIGHT.


Milwaukee Sentinel
A war has begun in Atlanta against the
parlor bcaus-young men who like to spend
an agreeable evening with young ladies at
their homes, but who never ask the young
ladies to 90 the theater or any place where
money is necessary. One young woman
says with disgust that young men spend
evenings IN her parlOr aud tell Der all about
the performances they have attended alone
This is timely and wholesome warfare.
Any evening numbers of young men may
be seen at the Milwaukee theaters alone,
although they are known To he society
young men aud indefatigable parlors beaus.
They 20 to the theater whenever there is
anything worth seeing alone, although they
are able to take young ladies. There never
was time when young men were so in
different to the Just claims Of young ladies.
There is an understood rule that the Young
men shall make some recognition of IA
courtesy at the hands Of II young lady, but
If he does this he certainly does no more.
There Is no escaping the conviction that the
young man who is constantly enjoying the
society of young ladies is very mean
spirited and selfish person II he attends a
theater alone. There are any number OF
charming young women who do not require
that young man shall 90 to the expense of
a carriage. They are willing to 20 by street
car, or better yet, to walk to the theater.
Any young man, with the right sort of a
, feeling, is willing TO 90 only half rs often
and to take young lady with him.
The Atlanta girls resent their treatment,
not because Of the loss o! the theater, but
because Of the lack Of decent consideration
the young men show. It's the indifference
to one of the plainest rights of young
women. They propose to use the cold
shoulder hereafter. They do not intend
that young men shall play the role OF grand
mogul, and think 1t is enough il they smile
on the young ladies Of an evening IN the
| parlor. The girls are right about this.

BY Gable to the New York World.
On all hands 1t is agreed that never has
greater distress prevailed In London than at
present. II is not only among the unskilled,
but the suffering extends TO the skilled
working class, and there seems to be no
prospect Of employment for them in
the coming winter. Foremen who have
been in constant employment In
the same firm for fifteen and twenty
wears have been turned off, owing to BAD
times, during the past few weeks. BY the
riverside and in the vicinity Of the docks
the crowds Of unemployed are daily grow
ing greater. Hunger and want have driven
them almost to desperation. If some steps
are not taken 10 relieve the distress
the consequences during the coming
months are likely to be terrible in every
sense of the word All the thousands
who are now sleeping in the open air
will be driven to seek shelter when the
cold weather sets In and the warehouses
and charitable institutions which
are available are totally inadequate In mum
her. The socialist leaders are taking adj
vantage OF all this distress to press for the
adoption of several measures, one OF which,
at least, is worthy Of special mention and
commentator. IL is that one free meal a
day In the board schools be granted to all
children who desire to partake of IT, 1t
appears, from report published by the
DdRy TeieNdph, that over 30 per cent of
the children who compulsorily attended
school last winter were there without hav-
inc Ind any food.

A NEW PRECIOUS STONE.

The Hiddcnite and Where 1t Comes
From meralds from North Caro-
lima.
a new precious stone has lately been
brought TO the notice Of jewellers and the
public in discoveries made by Mr.. William
Earl Hidden In Alexander county, n. C..
The stone resembles IN many respects the
emerald, being of nearly the same color,
but Is denser and more brilliant. 1t was
named the hddenite by the late Dr. b..
Lawrence Smith, Of Louisville, KY, who
was first to recognize its true chemical ma
ture. This new stone is found in close con-
neCtion with the emerald, but does not, like
the latter, belong to the beryl family. The
story OF its discovery, ms told by Mr. Hid.
den, is interesting. While carrying on
search for platinum through the southern
states, under the patronage Of Thomas A..
Edison, he came across, in Alexander
county, few pieces of bronze, which in
their edges showed Il tinge of color which
vergcd distinctly on that Of the emerald.
Being an expert mineralOgist he came to
the conclusion that region which could
produce bronze having slight tint Of the
true emerald color ought to furnish the
pure emerald itself. A vein was subse.
quently found at depth Of eight feet be-
w" Nht bulluNt' III WHICH ht uOl bull
the true emerald, but with It manv slender
crystals having emerald color, but
differing from that gem in nearly
every other respect. 1t was TO these
slender crystals that the name hiddente
was applied. 1t is to-day the rarest among
the precious stones, and has not yet been
discovered in any other place, The largest
one found thus far was three inches long,
weighing One.half ounce, and was cut up
into gems valued ut more than 81 900. Be.
sides the hiddenite and the emerald, these
mines produce numerous specimens of
Of aqua marines, yellow spodumene, cit
rine aud smoky topaz, rutlne garnets, and
peculiarly beautiful quartz crystal.
From the same mine next to the largest
emerald in the world was quarricd The
largest Is owned by the duke Of Devonshire,
and weighs but two pennyweIghts more
than the one in question, which is heXag-
Onal in form, Is three inches long, one and
three quarters inches thick from face to
face, and weighs eight and three.q quarter
ounces. Its value in the present uncut
state is absut II 100.
