PRINCE AND PAuPER.

Some Leaves From the Career of . Well
Known Spendthrift.
Prince Demetrius Ivanovitsch Won
Chiwa died few days ago in the poor
house at Hamburg. He was once the
petted son of a wealthy family, whose
ancestors were the undisputed rulers
of the province whence he came. After
receiving a military education he
founded house in Paris where, under
the Second Empire. he played an en-
viable and important role. The En-
press Eugene was among the numer-
Gus admirers of the handsome Prince.
who spent money as lavishly as the
Emperor himself. But the dissolute
life which he began to lead soon
robbed him of his fortune and reduced
him to beggary. At first he was par
ticular as to the rank of those from
whom he borrowed and chose only
men who were his equals in birth.
The late King Ludwig of Bavaria
was honored oftener than any other
rules with ''letters for loans," which
Invariably began: '.Most serene and
mighty cousin" The fattery was
successful in opening the purse of the
demented monarch during many years.
But this source of income was at last
cut off, and Prince Won Chiwa was
forced to borrow from his interiors.

large sum of money from the Emperor

resort to other means to secure live

peared in the neighborhood of Ham
burg. The long white hair, the
brilliant eyes. the military bearing and
aristocratic features still enabled him
to impose upon the innocent mistresses
of boarding-houses. His imposition
became SO frequent and his acquaint-
ance with the debtor prison walls SO
intimate that he was made finally an
inmate of the poor-house to escape
further persecution. There he re-
manned until his death.-Berlin Letter.

ERNATlONAL LABOR CON-
 VENTlON.

The City Committee of the Sec tions of New York has decided to send the following resolutions con- cernjng the proposition of the Swiss Government to call an International Congress for considering the intro ducton of uniform international labor laws, to the President, the Senate and the Congress of the United States:
 WHEREAS, The Swiss Government has .rcuated a note addressed to the gov ernments both of Europe and America, in which 1t is proposed that an lnterna- tional Conference be convened for the purpose of discussing measures for the introduction of uniform labor laws in regard to the following matters: Sunday work, employment of women and chil- dren, minimum hours of labor, etc; and
 WHEREAS, The United States Gov ernment has received of the Swiss Council communication inviting it to cooperate in the converting of such con ference, and to take part in its delibera- tions, and
 WHEREAS, The condition of the labor ing classes in all civilized countries urgently demands the concerted action of their respective governments in the direction above set forth by the Swiss Federated Councils; and the insutliCiency and inadequacy of the existing laws reg ulating labor among all nations necessi- tates the introduction of a uniform in- ternational law affecting the interests of labor in at least as high degree as has been necessitated by the adoption of the international laws already existing and affecting the interests of commerce.
 Hssolred, That we, the Section of the s. L. P, of the City of New York, do hereby call upon the United States Government to do everything on its part to bring about the holding of such conference as proposed by the Swiss Government.
 ReS0lued, That copies of this resolution be sent to the President, Senate and Congress at Washington.

Activity Among the Socialists--The
 Christian Socialists

The State Central Committee of the s. l.. F. at their last meeting voted to recommend to the Sections of Massachu- setts that they hold a State Convention at Boston on Saturday, July E.
 Owing to the stormy weather, last Sundays agitation meeting on the Com mon was rather sIimly attended. Sev- eral members of the American Section made acceptable addresses, as did mem bers of the Christian Socialist Society.
 The editor of the alleged labor paper, the Labor LeoCier, is at his old tricks again, endeavoring to discourage any effort at independent political action in this State. He is an old servant of the "democratic' party, who, no doubt, got his ''intluence' at a low figure.

LYNN, MASS.

The Socialists of Lynn held an open air meeting last Saturday night, when Comrade Nrooman spoke to about five hundred people in the lot belonging to the Lasters' Union.
 We decided to change our Sunday evening meetings to Friday evening, as people will begin to go to the beaches Sundays as the weather becomes warmer. Mrs. Martha NJ. Avery is to speak to Us Friday night.
 C0mrade Robinson is the man to secure to lecture for our party. He has done more for Ills in Lynn than any other man, and he can lecture in both Eng fish and German, being a college graduate from Harvard, and also from an institu- tion in Berlin. The Nationalists would like to hold him, but he is too much of a socialist to be anywhere but with the Out-and-0ut common peoples party. He got his socialism in Germany took it to England with him, and brought it home to America as the dearest thing on earth. He is q member of the bar, but his mind is on his brothers vel fare, instead of on schemes for skinning them.
 We have got our best work to put in now in Lynn, and if we do it well we will have something to he proud of this Fall. do not claim that we!haye con verted, but we have showed what social ists are, and the thinkers declare that they have always felt that way, or, in other words, Socialism finds place long looked for by their feelings Keep up good courage, comrades, and we will be with you soon.

SOCIALIST AGITATION.

The District Organization of Vest ern New York arranged a circuit agitation for the Sections of Utica, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo last week, and invited the editor of the ADVOCATE to speak at these places.
 At Utica last Friday the subject was "The Eight-Hour Work-Day.' A small audience was present, though members of the local Sec tlons had advertised literally.
 Owing to untoward circumstances of local character, the Syracuse Section withdrew from the circuit, and the next meeting took place at Rochester, as will be seen by the Rochester report.
 At Buffalo the meeting took place at Harmonic Hall, in the German quarter of the town, and was inade- quately advertised. There was but a small audience present, and the subject treated was, at the request of the Sections, "The Necessity for Labor Papers,"
 The Buffalo Section is small in numbers, and the care of a local weekly German paper has been a great hindrance to the more impor- tant party work, according to the statements of individual members, and the deductions to be made from the actual conditions.
 The lecturer advised such Sections to pay more attention to the spread of Socialist literature, and spend less money for itinerant speakers in future. This idea was favorably re- ceived. Each Section favored q State Organization.

ROCHE ESTER.

Last Sunday there were two meetings in the city,,a which Socialism was the topic of discussion. In the afternoon the editor of the WoRKMEN's ADyO- CATE, having received polite invitation from them, visited the SingIe-Tax Union at their cosy club-room, and explained the objects. of the Socialist Party, criti- Cisng the present system, and exhibit ing the Socialist plan of agitation. He also explained the working of the re. gently enacted Connecticut secret ballot law. Several members of ,he club en- tered into a friendly discussion with the speaker, who was asked to explain many points of difference in the opinions held by Socialists and land-tax refOrmers.
 In the evening public meeting was held at the New Opera House, which, in spite of considerable advertising was not very numerOGsly attended, but the audience, consisting of nearly equal proportions of ladies and gentlemen, was very attentive, and signified their appreciation on different occasions. Af- ter the lecture, which lasted but little over an hour, the floor was olveL to others. One of the speakers hoped that the Socialists would help the land tax folks to realize thelr hope of placing the sole tax levied upon land and the estab- lishment of free trade. Another speaker extolled the virtues of the Vanderbilts and GouIds, and denounced the social ists and land-taxerB as breeders of hate in an otherwise contented society. The lecturer closed by answering the critics ill beiitting manner, and at ten o'clock the meeting adjourned.

 LOOKING FORWARD. --P Prof. Charles Orchardson, of Chicago, has issued little pamphlet of 23 pp, entitled Look ing Forward" in which he very aptly criticizes and illustrates the efforts of the present capitalistic system of so- ciety, and points out the course to be taken to emancipate the people from the thraldom of capitalism, and give them the blessings of socialism. The following passage occurs in one of it's closing pages:
 Society is a pyramid balanced on it's apex, kept in that position by antiquated, wOrm-eaten legal props hundred years old.
 Both parties are resolved to keep it in that position until the props break and let it down with q revolutionary crash. Socialism proposes to organize each line of production into strong and gradually shorter prop, until the last line of production makes a prop so short as to let society gently down on broad and natural basis, where 1t will rest contentedly, eternally, without hay ing experienced that horror, called revo- lution. The Socialist Labor Party is humanity's only hope, and the salvation from poverty, and the only advocate of evolution, peace, law and order"

A letter from Philip Rappaport, of Indianapolis, has been received by the National Executive Committee. declin- ing to be candidate for delegate to the Paris Congress. He assigns as a reason, that he thought when he first accepted the nomination that the necessary funds to defray the expenses were on hand, but that since he has learned that a per capita tax must be levied to raise the money, he prefers not to be a candi- date, and requests publication of his reason for declining.
