sardou,s Lucky step.

victorien Sardou, popularity called the
Journalist playwright" was born in
Paris on the 7th of September, 1881. His
father was teacher and the author OF
elementary text books. Little success
met his efforts, and their early days
were days of privation and hardship.
Just over thirty years ago, on a cheer
less wet night, he sought shelter from
the storm in doorway in the neighbor-
hood of the Medical School of Paris.
Feeling utterly wretched and with
thoughts of suicide floating through his
mind, he moved away from the door
way which had afforded shelter to him.
A water carrier Immediately took his
place, audibly remarking:
''Ah, my friend. you dc not know
when you are well off,"
He had scarcely uttered the words
when a block of granite fell from the
building and killed him. Sardou took
his deliverance from death as a good
omen and set to work with renewed
energy, and is today the foremost and
richest of living playwrights, and a issm-
Der of the academy. Tit-Bits.

The sIoneyless Man.

Go look In your hall, where the chandeliers light
Drives back, with its splendor, the darkness Of
night;
Where the rich hanging velvets, in luxurious folds
Sweep gracefully down amid buTnish Of gold;
Go there in that hall and find, If you can,
Any welcome for the humble and moneyless man.
Then go to yon bank, where mammon hath told
Its hundreds and thousands Of silver and gold,
Where pile upon pile of the glittering ore
Are safe from the hands Of the starving and poor.
Go look in those vaults and tell me, if you can
Is there money stored there for the moneyless
mang
And thence to yon church, where cloud reaching
spire
Gives back to the sun its own hue Of red fire;
Its arches and columns, all gorgeous within,
And the walls are as pure soul without sin;
Walk down the long aisle; see the rich and the
great,
In the pomp and the pride of their worldly estate
Go there in patched raiment. and find, II you can,
ANY wide open pews for moneyless man.
Go thence to your hovel, where no raven has fed
That wife who has suffered for want of plain
bread;
kneel down by the pallet and kiss the death frost
From the lips of the angel your poverty lost
Then In your agony, look up 10 your God
And bless while he smites with the Christening rod
Asd hope that ct the cnl Of this lfes short span,
A welcome above may await the moneyless man.

A Practical Lessnn.

One chilly evening the sitting room in
which my pupils and sat was warmed
by CRATE fire. Shaking out some small
live Goals, bade the boys observe which
of them turned black soonest. They
were quick to see that the smallest did,
but they were unable to tell why. They
were reminded of the rule they had
committed to paper, but to no purpose,
until broke large glowing coal into a
score of fragments which became black
almost at once. Then one of them cried,
"Why, smashing that coal gave it more
surface" This young fellow was study
ing the elements of astronomy at school,
so had him give us some account of
how the planets differ from one another
in size, how the moon compares with the
earth in mass, and how vastly larger
than any of its worlds is the sun.
Explaining to him the theory of the
solar systems fiery origin, / shall not
soon forget his keen delight-in which
the others presently shared-when it
burst upon him that because the moon
is much smaller than the earth it must
be much colder; that, indeed, it is like a
small cinder compared with large one.
It was easy to advance from this to un-
derstanding why Jupiter, with eleven
times the diameter of tho earth, still
glows family in the sky, and then to
note that the sun pours out its wealth
of heat and light because the immensity
of its bulk has, comparatively speaking,
SO little surface to radiate from. George
Hes in Popular Science.

National Control Of Railways.

In view of recent events it is timely
to observe that the national control of
railways is the only way by which the
travel and traffic of the country can be
saved from constant interruption as the
result of quarrels between the corpora
tions andtheir employees. National con-
troll on the one hand would be based
upon the guaranteed rights of employees,
and the force of public opinion, informed
by the perfect publicity of the manage
ment, and acting directly through con-
gress, would insure their just and hu-
name treatment and the redress of
grievances. On the other hand the power
of the nation would guarantee the pub
lie at large against any forcible inter-
ference with the railroad lines. It is
preposterous that SO vast and SO vital a
national interest as the railroad service
should be dependent upon the mainte-
nance of good understanding between
irresponsible groups of capitalists and
their employees. Edward Bellamy in
Forum.

What the Knights Saw.

Knights of Labor say that H. Walter
Webb, third vice president of the New
York Central railroad, could not have
done them better service than by pub
fishing his instructions to the heads of
departments to ostracize all members of
the order. They claim that Mr.. Webb
has an Interior motive, which will de-
velop before six months have elapsed,
and that it is a wholesale reduction of
wages, not only on the Central, but on the
entire Vanderbilt system. They say that
Knights increased the wages of yard
men. brakemen, switchmen and shop
men from So to $40 month, and that
the company will now get the wages
down to the basis before the Knights
came into existence on the road. They
point to the action of the Fourth Ave
nue. railroad and other surface roads in
this city to demonstrate their claim.
Since the disruption of the order on the
railroads here wages have been reduced
and hours heightened. Such, it is said,
is generally the case when an organiza-
ton is disrupted. d.-New York Press.

Failed to Federate.
Especial Correspoudence. !


The American delegates to the Glas-
gov convention of seafaring men have
returned home. They report that they
were disappointed in their hopes of es-
tablishing an international organization
of seamen, dockers and kindred callings.
1t appears that the Britishers ran the
convention on their own lines, and the
delegates from the United States and the
Scandinavian countries were treated as
lockers on instead of as fellow represent
atives. However, there was a strong
sentiment in the convention in favor Of
the federation, but it was held in check
by some technicality in the laws of the
British union. The returned delegates
report that another convention was to
be held early in November, at which the
stumbling blocks in the way of fedora
ton were to be removed or surmounted
and steps taken for a speedy interna-
tional amalgamation. At this writing
the results of that meeting have not
been announced
At Boston, San Francisco and New
Orleans there are strong seamens unions
and New York has a good nucleus,
though the work of organizing does not
seem to move very rapidly. Other i'm
portant ports on the seaboard are with
out any kind of organization. Chicago
and Buffalo have first rate unions of lake
sailors. WILLIS WILLIAMS.

The No-strike Conductors.

At the recent meeting of the executive
board of the Independent Order of Rail-
way Conductors the following was
adopted as their principles on the sub
ject of strikes:
Positively refusing to engage in a
strike or giving it aid or sympathy.
.'We believe conductors can have no
sympathy with the disorder and lawless-
ness attending the methods of striking
organizations.
1--WE hold it incumbent upon our
selves to perform all duties to our en-
ployers honestly, Loyalty and faithfully,
giving the best possible service as the
true basis for increased remuneration
and advancement.
"We also owe a duty to the public
which demands sacrifice of personal con-
siderations, and under no possible cir
cumstances can we assume the right to
obstruct the business Of the company or
delay innocent travellers in order to right
a personal grievance.
Eve believe all violent attempts to
secure favor or employment are unneces-
sary; the intelligence and wisdom of the
conductor and official of this age are
sufficient to amicably and honorably ad-
just all differences of whatever character
or nature in just and reasonable man
ner"

British Labor Federation.

Michael Davitt, writing editorially in
The Labor World on the question of the
London dockers striking in support Of
their Australian brothers, expresses these
sound sentiments:
Organize labor into one great federa-
ton. Let each industry organize its own
men first, and then let the various in
dustrial republics unite on a federal
basis with complete self government
for each trade. Until this is done, or at
least begun, any big fight with capital
lists will be disastrous to the interests Of
labor beyond the shadow of a doubt.
And when this is done we may be quite
sure that capitalists will respect power
that is irresistible, and the necessity for
any bitter conflict will no longer exist. I"

Labor Must control the Tools,

A writer in late issue of The Union
Printer advances an idea concerning the
use of typesetting machines which is
certainly worth thinking about. 1t is re-
ported that many prominent newspapers
have placed orders for from ten to one
hundred of the Rogers Typographs. The
machines will not be sold, but will be
rented for 81 per day. The meat in the
scheme proposed by The Union Printers
contribution is found in this paragraph:
'.Let the typographical unions demand
that each machine be turned over to the
operator, the rent and other expenses for
running it to be deducted from his week.
ly wages. Let union printers refuse to
operate any machines except on these
terms. Then let the men charge their
employers the same price per 200 ems
as now. In this way, if they have more
composition to do they will earn more
money; if the same amount of compost
ton, they will get through quicker and
thus reduce their hours of labor. In
either case it is the workingmen who
will get the full advantage of the inven-
ton, not the employing capitalist"
In an Office like The New York World
the rent of space occupied by its 100
machines would be considerable sum,
but still the foregoing idea is not bad
one.

One Of the nravest Of Deed,.

An.incident of the battle of Waterloo
heard from the great duke himself was
told by Lord Shaftesbury, the philan-
thropist, to the late Sir George Burns, in
whose biography it is given by Mr.. Ed
win Holder. at one moment in the
battle the Duke of Wellington was left
alone, his aids-de-camp having been dis
patched with messages. A gentleman
in plain clothes rode up to him and said,
"Can / be of any use, sir?''
The duke looked at him and instantly
said, "Yes; take that pencil note to the
commanding officer (pointing to reg
iment in the heat of the engagement.
The note was taken and delivered, its
bearer galloping through the thick of the
fight to execute its commission. After
the battle the duke made every inquiry,
but never could find out To whom he was
indebted for this brave service. He told
Lord Shaftesbury that he considered
this one Of the most gallant deeds that
had ever come underIhis notice, seeing
that is was done without prospect Of
honor or reward, II &hdon News.

The Man with q Patent.

There were only half dozen people
In the palace car all day long, and after
dinner, when the man who had been
sleeping and reading in seat No. 12 came
over to me for chat, welcomed him
with open arms. He said his name was
Saunders, and that he had patent or
improvement on some part of loco
motive. He was going through to Gin
cinnati to have it perfected or adopted
or something of the sort. He had been
in partnership with mean mana man
who had tried to swindle him out of q
fortune. To get even he had stolen the
patent and run away. He had it with
him in valise. That was all he said
just then, but later on he confded to
me the fact that at town about thirty
miles away this wicked partner Of his
might possibly be on hand to board the
train and attempt to wrest the treasure
from his keeping. He wanted my adj
vice, and offered to take charge of the
valise. He thanked me with great eff
fusiveness, and as we approached the
town he shut himself into the smoking
compartment.
AS the train drew up saw an old ac-
quaintance on the platform, and while
we were talking a posse was hunting the
train for my friend. They didn't find
him, as he had dropped off and struck
out for the country. went on to Gin
cinnati, taking his valise along, and al
though was there four days he, didn't
show up. arranged to leave it with
the landlord, and it was carried to the
office to be opened by a meddlesome
clerk.
Instead of a patent it contained wedges,
drills, a brace, fuse and other neat lit
tie devices for successfully working
burglars Job, and it cost me two days of
the hardest kind of talk to satisfy the
chief of police that wasn't in it. I had
ridden over 100 miles with full fledged
burglar, and one who had made his
mark, and must say he was better
talker and more of a gentleman than any
governor ever met. New York Sun.

Th. eauntlet rhrown Down.


This question is not confined to the
Knights alone; not by any means. It
affects directly every trades union and
organization in the country, and it is a
question that will be brought right into
the council chambers of all these bodies.
Webb, it is true, gained his point in
this last struggle. 1t was no doubt a
proud victory for him. But he was not
satisfied. His vanity needed further
concessions, and he therefore issues an
edict saying that no employe of his road
shall belong to that organization known
as the Knights of Labor.
In this he was arbitrary, foolish and
tyrannical. There are in this country
today organizations among the employees
of railroads alone which, if united in one
common purpose, could stop every wheel
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and just
such an action as this latest piece of
folly is what will lead to the unification
of all these bodies. If they would main
tain their liberties, their manhood, they
cannot let this challenge remain unan-
swered. The gauntlet has been thrown
down to all of them. It is the Knights
now; it will be other unions later on,
and every toiler in this broad country
cannot but lift up his voice in one COM
mon cause and take issue against this
atrocious and unwarrantable tyranny

Mrs. Frank Leslie's Interview in Chicago
stirs Up the Socialists.
At a meeting of socialists held in Chi
cago the interview with Mrs. Frank
Leslie in The Tribune of that city was
the subject for discussion. The follow
ing is excepted from a report of the
meeting which appeared in The Tribune:
Mrs. Woodman offered the following
resolution:
s'That the gentle, tender hearted rep
resentative of Americas uppertendom
who has done Chicago, during the last
week, the honor to visit it, and has
kindly consented to enlightea the gen.
eral public as to her views on the indus
trial situation and recommend course
of treatment warranted to cure in all
cases for discontented workers of all
nationalties, is hereby entitled to the
thanks of this meeting for voicing in SO
unmistakable manner the secret senti-
ment of the self styled elite of our great
cities in regard to the working classes
and the grievances of which they COM
plain"
Mrs. Woodman then made long ad-
dress, in the course of which she said:
Shoot them like dogsr This is how
Mrs. Leslie would have the anarchists
treated. So declared The Tribune. It
seems strange, does it not, that wom-
ans lips should utter such words as
these? Stranger still that woman's
heart could beget the thought. Even
the coarsest and most cruel men shrink
little from the woman who advocates
coarseness and cruelty, and they are
right. From woman-the wife, mother,
sister, daughter-one naturally expects
gentle thoughts and humane sentiments,
and SO to hear an expression which would
do credit to the most illiterate and bru-
talized officer on Chicago's police force
sall from the lips of one whose beauty
and grace have become household word
in the United States cannot fail to have
called forth a faint shudder even from
SO callous an individual as a Chicago
newspaper man.
" Shoot them down like dogst Treat
them like mad dogsl' How redolent
with refinement. how suggestive of fem
mime delicacy, purity and womanly
sweetness is this language! Has this
woman no children? No; she is child
less. She tells you SO. i have no
child's stocking to fill with candy and
dolls Christmas morning There is
world of pathos in this thought. After
all, with all her wealth of diamonds, she
is to be pitied. Had she been mother
perchance she would have thought of
the little children left fatherless, of the
wives and mothers bereft of their only
support and left to struggle single
handed in consequence of that shameless
and infamous execution Nov. IL, which
Mrs. Leslie characterizes as "a brave and

a SONG OF FLEETINe TIME.


When love was rich and young, my dear,
And all the world was fair,
What music beautiful and clear
Made summer In tho air
The roses blsished around your door,
The sunshine trembled DER your floor
And blessed you unaware
From dawn till eve, from fall till spring
Life offered you each royal thing.
Yes, you, who did not care
When love was rich and young, my dear,
And all the world was fair
When love was rich and young, my dear,
And all the world was fair,
1t was heavenly thing to hear
Your laughter bless the air.
g To note your dainty ways, and mark
Your eyes make starlight Of the dark,
To know that everywhere
Mems hearts went with you, every one,
Like Aztecs following the sun
Whose feeting left heaven bare
When love was rich and young, my dear,
And all the world was fair.
Now love is poor and old, my dear,
And all the world grows gray.
There is no music left to cheer
The curfew time Of day.
About your lonely door see
The shadows falling silently,
Like brown leaves from the spray;
Flown are the roses and the light,
Gay hearts have bidden you good night
And gone upon their way.
Now love is poor and old, my dear,
And all the world grows gray.
Now love is poor and old. my dear,
And all the world grows gray.
Heart breaking is it but to hear
The laughter once so gay;
To mark your faded charms and know
The rose has had its time to blow,
And joy to pass away.
One thing, one only, Of the past
Abideth with you to the last,
Your poets song still holds you fast
And keeps you fair alway.
Now love is poor and old, my dear,
And all the world grows gray.

win a Corpse Bleed9


Formerly there was popular belief
in a widespread superstition that the
corpse of murdered aperson would
bleed afresh from the wounds that had
caused death did the murderer touch it
or even allow his eyes to rest upon it.
The belief is shown to have been uni
versally established in Scotland as late
as 1868. In that year one Philip Stands
field was arrested for the murder of a
person who had been buried several
days. Although the man had lain
in the grave almost fortnight, Sir
George Mackenzie, the crown counsel,
caused the body to be exhumed and
brought into open court to apply what
people thought would be the test of
Standsfeld's guilt or innocence. The
sworn deposition Of several witnesses is
as follows:
"God Almighty himself was pleased to
bear share in the testimonies which we
produced. That divine power which
makes the blood circulate during life
has ofttines, in all countries, opened a
passage for it after death upon such oc-
casions. After the wounds had been
sewed up, and the body designedly
shaken up and down and, which is most
wonderful, after the body had been
buried several days, which naturally
causes the blood to congeal-upon
Standsfeld's touching it the blood darted
and sprang out, to the great astonish-
ment of the surgeons who were there to
watch the event. Standsfeld, astonished
more than they, threw down the body.
