That Prodigal Son.

The Rev. Mr.. Hawke gave us another
glimpse of his beautiful word paintings on
Sunday evening last at the school house.
That old, familiar story Of the prodigal SON
was again told and it it is not hyper
bolical to say, that the language
in which he portrayed the life
Of that prodigal and its lessons, was
Of the choicest kind and exceedingly chaste.
Mr.. Hawkes. power as q depictsr Of biblical
pictu res, is conceded and no one should
miss the treat which he affords every Sum
day evening. Next Sabbath he win preach
on the same subject, in considering the ex-
cesding great JOY Of the father on the return
Of his prodigal son. In this connection We
are reminded Of story Or q famous New.

tight. Most OF the Chicago mills non-unlOn.

mon, said that the situation rather alarming.
At least 1900 ironwOrkerS I'm Youngstown alone
quit work to-day. The coke mills, coal mines and
railroads would render the idlencss something enor-

at IS not considered that the shutdown will figure
any extent in politics. said an ironworkcr The
mcn are acting rcwdly. They have proposed TO the
manufacturers - lie idle until November In order
that the increased supply may be worked off, They
look at It this way: If their wages are reduced ten
per cent now. fl would be gone for all time II is
easy to lower wages, but mighty uphill job to III
crease them.'
