One Party in Alabama, the Other at the
Lake Superior Mines.

Lake Superior Mines.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, October 16.-Three
hundred of the iron and steel men arrived here
this morning. They were received and well
coined to the city by a local committee. At 9
o'clock the party left on four special trains to
visit the iron and coal mines in this vicinity.
Tonight, after their return to the city, a BAN
quet and reception was given them.
A dispatch from Ashland, WIS. says: The Eu-
ropean iron ana steel men now visiting the Lake
Superior mines went to Ironwood to-day. They
will spend most of the time in the Norrie
mine, of the Gogebic range, the largest pro.
ducer of iron ore in the world.

For the independent Pipe Line.

MILLERSTowN-Last night the Producers
Protective Association held their first meet
ing here in the interest of the independent
pipe line refining movement The meeting was
largely attended and the deepest interest char
acterIzed the proceedings throughout T W.
Phillips was present and made stirring
address, which was highly appre-
ciaued by all present. Other speeches
were made by other prominent members of the
order, the tenor of which was strongly IN favor
of building an independent pipe line and CO.
operating with any movement toward the
building of a refinery. The feeling and senti-
ment here against the Standard Oil Company
is but the refrain caught up from other sec
tions, and Is crystallizng into a stubborn revolt
against the yoke tyrrany and usurpation.
One patriotic Emmett IN discussing the situa-
tion graphically portrayed the diabolical policy
and action of the standard monopoly toward
the independent producers and substantiated
his position by reviewing its history from Its
first iuceDtion. In the most torclble manner
he called attention 10 the deplorable condition
of the average producer throughout oIldom,
should the octopus succeed in freezing them
out Every branch of business pertaining
TO the great Ind industry would eventu-
only are in the ring would
be able TO see the light of day. Continuing, he
said they have already at an enormous outlay
bought out the heavy producers, who were lead
ing spirits and men of mental weight thereby
hoping TO make the smallfry sucCumb to the
inevitable. In unmistakable language he told
MS hearers IhaI II Ihe lsraelltes. so to speak,
did not embrace the present opportunity to get
out oil bondage, their doom was forever sealed,
He was confident that If the producers have
not made howl against the reduc-
tion of premiums and depreciation
of prices that the Standard would have to-day
taken of the full amount of premiums. 1t is
only the fear Of what we will do that tnwarts
the immediate execution of their tyrancal
policy; gentlemen, we must act and in concert
Tonight a meeting of the P. 2. A. will be
held in Butler, and tomorrow night the Pc
troha lodge meets. As previously reported in
beacon llgDt OF llDerty ana independence to the
producer, and the signal of a deep-seated
movement all along the line.

Reports Which Caused Enthusiasm.

CRAFToN-The reports of the McCurdy well
owned by J. NJ. Patterson & Jones, have in
spired an enthusiasm in oleagineous circles
Just how well founded these reports are time
only can tell. There is difference of opinion
among the fraternity as to in what horison the
well is producing from. The owners claim that
the fluid comes from the fifth sand or fourth

bet his reputation and a good number
of sinners that the sand from which the
oil is found Is the third or the
Coraopolis sand. His conclusions are based
upon practical experience, and his knowledge

Mr.. Galley says in this well he drilled through

and the well was l00-pound gas well. Below
this sand they drilled into slate, where they
stopped and abandoned the well as a failure
So convinced is Mr.. Galley of his calculation

and drill it down to the McCurdy horizon. OF

is no question but what considerable prospect

JACKS RUN-A report had gained some cir

at Jacks Run, which were likely to knock the
market to smithereens. Upon investigation by
THE DISPATCH scout it was ascertained that
Hene No. 2, located between Heine No. l. a
fve-baTrel well, and the old Straw No. J. had
found the pay, and made several flows. Taking
the history of the territory here into considera-
tion the well will make a settled production of
25 barrels per day. The other well belongs to
the Kicker Oil Company and is located on the
Bergerslot and struck the pay at 10 o'clock and

hole but fortunately this evening were taken

unless the well differs in character from other

Fish with Brass Labels.

Ii any one engaged in sea fishing should
capture fish with brass labels tied to their
tails with aluminium wire or black silk
cord an explanation will no doubt be
somewhat eagerly desired. There are
hundreds of fish SO treated in the sea-
and it need not be concluded that prac-
tical jokers have been at work. The
brass label is an indication that the fish
wearing it has been in the hands of the
grave men of science who are investigat-
ing the habits, the food and the growth
conditions of fish in Scottish waters. Two
objects are served by the label attach.
ment.
In the event of the fish being recap
tured by any one who will give informa-
tion to the scientific cruisers of the Scot
tish fishery board on the Garland there
will be something known about its mi
gratory habits. Its rate of growth in a
state of freedom may also be investigat-
ed. Itmight be thought that the chance
of meeting with these labeled fish again
would be very small, but it appears that
the Garland cruisers themselves have re-
captured q per cent. of the plaice and
IS per cent. Of the cod wearing their
medals. But only plaice, cod and skate
were recaptured. The experiments are
to be continued on large scale. They
do not interfere with the health of the
fish, which when recaught are plump and
in good condition. London Illustrated

John Is the older.

Among certain coterie in this city
more or less speculation was a short
time since going on concerning the rela-
tive ages of Senator Charles B. Farwell
and his brother John ", the merchant
prince. It was of no use to consult the
public records, for they differed and
were not reliable. And as John v.
simply shook his head and smiled in
answer to inquiries ON the subject, and
as the senator when in Washington de-
clined to express himself in writing, the
individuals interested were compelled to
let their thirst for knowledge continue
unslakened until the latter should re-
turn. When he did return he was i'll,
but that was no obstacle, and upon gain
ing his presence the committee put the
question to him. The senator looked at
them for a moment, raised himself on
his elbow and replied in feeble tones:
II was born first, but John is the
older"
Then he lay down on his pillow, turned
over, and the committee, bursting with
a plethora of information. Withdrew

Strange Telephone Wire.

Whether we shall ever be able to see
our friends at distance, as We now talk
with them, is something for the science
OF the future to determine, but if we
ever do so it will doubtless be through
the mysterious connection between light.
electricity and the element selenium.
Selenium belongs to what is known as
the sulphur group of elements. It is
remarkable for the wonderful property
by which its electrical conductivity va
ries according to the amount of light
falling upon it, just as the chemical re-
lations of silver are altered by the same
means.
By this singular property of selenium
Professor Bell was enabled to construct
an optical telephone, and actually trans
mitted words and sentences between
two distant points which were not con-
nected in any way except by beam of
light, which faithfully carried the yibra-
.tions of his voice to selenium disk, by
which they were transformed into cleo
tric energy and reproduced in an ordi-
nary telephone. Youths Companion.

Necessary Evils.

Professor James Bryce, of Oxford, and
a member of the British parliament, de-
ivered a lecture in Brooklyn recently on
''The Spirit of Discomfort" In the
course of his remarks the gentleman
said:
1t has been said that in politics Amer
lea anticipates Europe, and that the
older country looks to the younger for
the solution of difficulties Now, how
ever, you are feeling the effects of the
discomfort that prevails abroad. Yet it
is a discomfort that looks to better past
"a discomfort that looks to better
future. Monopoly is an evil from which
you suffer-an evil which, suggests an
immediate remedy.
We have in England class of agita-
tors. and we are still importing them in
large numbers. They are discontented
with everything. believe you call them
cranks IN this country; but these people
are certainly necessary evil. They
are men who are always insisting on
their points, and by constant persever-
ance gain their ends. / know you dis
courage them, but we do not. You are
led, notwithstanding splendid ballot
law, Notwithstanding your training and
education, to adopt measures which your
newspapers advocate and which your
bosses intend you to do, and you vote
for the candidates they propose.

No More Conflicts.

The war between oppressed labor and
arrogant capital is over. The lion and
the lamb will now lie down together,
and the individuality of each will be
recognizable when they get up. The
wheel Taper on the New York Central
railroad will now divide time with
Chauncey Depew at the big dinners. If
you don't believe in this lovely picture
read what Leslie's Newspaper says:
The fact that the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Engineers invited railroad
president to address them at their annual
convention recently held in Pittsburg
was proof of the close and friendly rela-
tions existing between this labor organi-
cation and the managers of the railways
of the United States The choice of the
Hon. Chauncey M. Depew as the leading
orator of the occasion signifed, more
over, the highest estimation of his life
and character on the part of his subordi-
mates.

feeble state bear. I leave to my brothers
and sisters as much shame and mortifi-
cation as could bring on them. Ileave

TRAINING SCHOOLS FOB NURSES.

The Hospitals in New York City whicl,
Fit Men and Women for Nursing.
The Bellevue Training School for
Nurses ives started on May 1, 1878, with
a superintendent and five nurses, having
five wards under their care
/ In 1890 the school had go pupils and
had graduated 345, while as o direct out
growth of that modest beginning there
are three other great schools in New
York alone. These are the New York
City, which has ga pupils and has gradu-
ated 263; the New York hospital, with
49 pupils and 1872 graduates. and Mount
Sinai, with 80 pupils and III graduates.
There are also smaller schools in the
city, but, great or small, Bellevue must
always be honored as the pioneer. Her
graduates are at the head of most of the
important schools and hospitals in the
country, and have even gone so far
afield as England, Italy and China.
The next school to be established was
the New York city, which was started
by the commissioners of charities and
correction in 1877, and is entirely sup
ported by the city. Until 1889 it was
known as the Charity Hospital school.
because it began there, but as it grew
its work spread, until the old name was
misleading and had to be changed.
1t is now the largest and in some re-
spects the most important of all the
schools, as it nurses five different hos
pitals- Charity and Maternity on Black
wells Island, the Infants hospital on
Randalrs Island, Gouverneur, at Gou-
verneur Slip, and Harlem, at the foot of
East One Hundred and T twentieth street.
the two last being accident or emergency
hospitals, while at Charity the cases are
largely chronic. Besides the pupils of
the school there are thirty-two perma-
nent trained nurses at Charity and Ran
dall's Island, making nearly hundred
in all, for whom the superintendent is
directly responsible, and over whom she
has full authority. The other schools in
the city are supported from the funds Of
the hospitals which they nurse.-Mrs.

Local option.

The Prohibition bill drawn up by the
New Zealand government provides for
the taking of triennial poll of the rate
payers in each licensing district to de-
eide whether any licenses shall be grant

bition, a second poll is to be taken on
the question of whether there shall be a
decrease in the number of licenses.

How to Int Cheesn.

Whether or not to eat cheese with the
knife and fork is somewhat vexed ques-
ton, but the best authorities on eti-
quette proclaim this as inadmissible, ex-
cepting in the case of the soft, creamy
cheeses, such as Brie and Neufchatel.
Rochefort, Gorgonzola and other cheeses
of a similar consistency do not necessi-
tate the interference of the knife or fork,
but may be safely taken in the fingers.

The Australian workers made brave
fight, but it was the old story of might
against right. Capital combined, and
controlling the means of existence forced
labor to the wall. But there is cause for
rejoicing in this additional evidence that
competition, no ,uatter how employed,
is unnatural and cannot stand.
