Barry's ErpuIsIon.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 10.-In the
Knights OF Labor General Assembly on
Saturdaysthe celebrated Barry expulsion
case was taken up.
Thomas Il. Barry, Of Michigan, a men,
Der Of the general executive board, was
expelled from the order by that board for
circulating villifying reports about the
other members He claimed In various
interviews and In bis speech last spring in
the Cooper Union, In New York, that T. V.
Powderly and his close advisers we're ex-
trsvaEant and corrupt and by their mis-
management were fast destroying the
Knights Of Labor as an organization. The
other members Of the board expelled
Barry from the order aud, as he claimed
that he had not been given a fair trial ac-
cording TO the laws Of the order, an appeal
was taken from the decision Of the board.
This appeal came from an assembly at
Dayton, o., through L. 3. Bosch, and was
made by that assembly because Of Barry's
claims Of unfair treatment
General Master Workman Powderly re-
signed the chair to Secretary Elliott, Of
the grievance committee, and made a
careful statement of his side Of the case.
Hugh Cavanaugh, Of Cincinnati, and
many others followed and the debate was
at times rather warm. but for the most
part in good temper.
At the end of the debate the roll was
called and the general ex ecutive board was
sustained by n vote of l22 20 "A.
Speaking Of his expulsion Barry said
yesterday: "The general assembly Of the
Knights OF Labor Is not n fair representa-
tive gathering OF the industrial classes of
the order. The most interruptions methods
have been resorted 10 In order 10 prevent
men who were known 10 be I'm any way
opposed 10 the administration from being
elected as representatives 20 this conven-
ton. Records were manipulated and
changed In the general office and member
ship credited b. administration districts,
and representatives seated In the conven-
ton who had no legal right TO seats there
In, and representatives who were lawfully
elected denied q seat In the convention.
Clerks In the general offices were engaged
In manipulating records and selecting To-
cal assemblies that were known 30 be OPP
posed 30 the administration in order that
steps might be taken TO prevent them
from having representation at this con-
vention."

Povdsriy Explains the Decrease In the Or
dsr-Barry's Expulsion Sustained

About spies.
PorderIr ErnlaIna.

INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. l6.-In his report
yesterday General Master Workman
Powderly gave the following reasons for
the decrease I'm the membership Of the
knights OF Labor:
MANY causes combined 10 reduce the
number o. those who swore allegiance to
the principles OF the Knight of Labor.
Their valuation Of false statements con-
corning the strength Of the order drove
away many thousands who regarded
quantity a. being superior 90 quail
ity In the makeup Of thu member
ship Of q labor organization. When the
rumor went forth from the ensmy's quar-
ters that the numbers were dropping down
those members who looked TO others for
what they should do themselves dropped
cut also. When the divergence OF opinion
between the general officers became her
aided broadcast by those who always
magnifed, then the members who looked
for unity among the officers, instead Of
doing their duty by waiting until they
could replace these officers with others,
Withdrew from the order temporarily.
The uuwise strikes which were entered
upon against the laws and principles Of
the Knights Of Labor swept thousands Of
our members into poverty and forced them
from the order. Add 90 all OF these causes
the campaign which has Just closed In the
United States, In which members and as
semblies were pitted against each other on
n question which never was made n part
u the declaration OF principles, and on
which they could very we'll afford TO diff
fer without differing as 10 any point In the
laws or rules OF the order, and we wonder
not that there has been n falling of, but
that We have passed through the crucial
test with the ranks unbroken as we find
them to-day"
Mr.. Powdorly held that II was not one
man power, but the lack Of one-man power
that was the chief trouble Of the order.
He asked the knights 10 turn their atten-
ton 10 questions OF finance, land and
transportation AZ the most impor-
tant questions Of the day. lie de-
n1unced the alleged reform movement
Of the Chicago provisional committed"
az born Of hate, and demanded that those
who took part In II should be excluded
from the order. lie accused the Interna-
tional Workipgmen's Association OF hav-
ing IL members join the knights and OBJ
tanning Offices In the latter order for the
sole purpose Of creating discord in its
ranks and weakening its organization.

Growing Army Of Crimin.ls.

The criminal statistics Of the country
present two very discourag.ng features.
They show that the increase of criminals
is out of all proportion TO the increase i'll
population, and that this disproportionats
increase is almost entirely among the
young The warden Of the Joliet peni-
tentiary, in a recent address, stated that
the criminals Of the United States num-
bered 100000, and that the increase in
criminals during the past thirty years has
been twice as great proportionally As the
increase in population. Worse than this,
he claims that Of this half million more
than one-thiri, or 1877. 900, are under 20
years Of age; more than one-half, or 80,
OUO. under 81 years of age, and two-thirds,
or 3:;:}3, 800. are under % years Of age. in
other word', there are two young Grim
inals to on, old one.
OF this large army Of criminals only
one tenth, or $1,000, are in confinement
in penal institutions at any one time, the
other nine-tenths being at large preying

Cf-arettcs for Parisians.

When Parisian ladies' smoke, they use
deliciously scented cigarettes tinctured
with roses, carnations or heliotrope. A

the great establishments where cigarettes
are manufactured for fashionable women

made unitcs the fragrance of delic Ite
flowers with n snupcon Of opium. The
