Labor's Demonstration in Chicago,

May day, with it's demonstration by or
ganized labor in behalf Of the eight-hour
work day, has come and gone, and the pre-
dictions Of riot and bloodshed and an
almost universal strike have not been real
lied. Labor, indeed, Was in q great
measure suspended; but those who
dropped their tools for the day did not do
30 for the purpose of taking up sticks and
paving stones and indulging in riotous
demonstrations. Thousands of them quit
work for the day to march in the great
parade, and many more thousands made it
holiday. It was an. orderly, good
natured crowd and an orderly parade.
The marching line was about four miles
long. II occupied two hours in passing q
given point and the number Of men in line
is estimated at about 10000. The car
penters, who have been placed by the
American Federation Of Labor in the van
of the eight-hour demonstration, led the
parade. They had about c, 900 men, includ-
ing three assemblies Of Knights of Labor.
They were followed by 5000 stonemasons
and bricklayers. Then came delegations
from the unions of printers, metal work
ers and mouldsrs. These were followed
BY o dozen German Turner societies, form
ing the second division. Next marched
the furniture workers, cabinetmakers, car
riags and wagon builders, cigarmakers,
cloakmakers, boilermaksrs, rattan workers
and harnessmakers.
Continuing the account says: In view
Of the fact that the working people Of the
city turned out very generally To-day,
either to take part in Or witness the eight
hour workday parade, it Is impossible to
accurately measure the extent De the prom
ised strikes. As, however, the carpenters

Ten Thousand w ent Outs

A Chicago dispatch says:
Ten Thousand employees in the sash,
door and blind factories, planning mills and
other such lines of business, went out on
strike on the and, for an eight-hour work
day. There are about $4,000 of them all
told in the city, and it is understood that
the remaining $4,000 will strike before
night unless their demands are complied
with.
The iron moulders in most of the large
establishments of Chicago went out on
strike or rather they de-
clined to 60 to work at the old rates. At
the Mccormick Harvesting works the
strike threatens to spread to the balance of
the employees Of the works, which number
$4,000. Should the moulders stay out for
any considerable time the entire plants will
be compelled to shut down. The demands
are for an eight hour day and a uniform
rate OF wages.
A thousand men employed at the Wells
d French Car Company shops have gone
out. They made no formal demand on the
Office, but bundled up their tools and left.
Two hundred blacksmiths waited long
enough to say they would not return to
work unless granted eight hours.

METH0DISM'S WAR ON SIN
CHANGES IN THE DISCIPLINE TO
HELP THE SPANISH.

Fraternal Delegates from the North
ern and Canadian Conferences In
troduced to the Convention - a
Proposition to Offer a Prize for q
New Catechism Meets with Lively
Opposition.
ST. LOUIS, May 1.-The general confer
ence Of the Methodist Episcopal church
South entered upon its second week to-day.
After the re ligious exercises F. N. Bristol
Of Chicago, ex-Gov. Robert E Pattison of
Philadelphia, fraternal delegates from the
northern church, and Mr.. Stone, from the
Methodist church OF Canada, were intro
duced TO the conference.
The report of the committee on revissls
recommended that various changes be made
in the discipline for the benefit of the Span
ish speaking Me:hodists of Mexico.
A DEBATE OVER A NEW CATECHIsM.
The committee on the publishing interests
made a report which caused long and ami
mated discussion. 1t recommended that a
premium be offered for ''a series of cate
chisms" for use in the church. This was
opposed by one delegate as being in the
nature of lottery. Another opposed it
because he thought the church had good
enough catechisms now. Secretary Harrison
said he had l40 catechl5mS In his library,
and the church would not be able to i'm
prove on them by offering 500 prize for
the most difficult book in the world. He
said the college of bishops had been in
structed four years ago to prepare a series
of graded catechims but had not done it.
He does not know why.
BISHOP KENNEN EXPLAINS.
Bishop Kennen explained why. He said the
bishops had to work to prepare a catechism,
but when they got to a certain point they
came to standstill. They discovered that
they could proceed no further. They dis
covered that they could not write
catechism, SO they took one that had
already been written aud put it in a course
of study. That part of the report offering
a prize, however, was adopted.
The committee Ga temperance reported in
favor of unfermented wine for the sacra-
ment when it was practicable, and ap-
proved the resolutions introduced last week
by Messrs. East, Wall and Haynes oppos-
ing all laws licensing or permitting the
manufacture or sale of liquors
as beverage, because such
laws provide for continuance
of the traffic and furnish no protection
against its ravages; that the attitude of the
christian toward the drink traffic should be
uncompromising opposition, and that VOL
untary total abstinence is the ground of
temperance, and complete legal prohibition
of the traffic is the duty of the government.
The report went to the calendar and will no
doubt cause much debate when it comes up
for consideration.
The remainder Of the session was devoted
to routine matters.

AN ALLIGATOR YARN.
A Stage Coach Runs Into Creek an,
Is surrounded.

Is surrounded.
From the Fort Meyers (Fla.) Free Press
The frightful accident which happened to
the Naples stage on its down trip Tuesday
morning cannot fail to call attention of the
county authorities to the necessity of pro-
tectlng passengers and settlers against the
attacks of eAigators. The stage in question
was crossing Mango creek when it was sud =
denly at acked by drove of gators. Her
man Cropp held the lines over four we'll
matched bays. On reaching the brow of
the hill he could see part way down the
steep and rugged incline. Herman put his
foot on the brake and set it down slowly
but firmly. The brake broke and the
heavily-loaded coach rushed on to the
powerful wheelers, who braced their feet
as the driver called on them to "hold 'er. Z"
1t was in vain. With a snort and a rush
the gallant steeds sprung TO their feet and
rushed along with the leaders aud to keep
ahead of the coach. The coach made the
turn at the head OF the ford and they
dashed into the waters of the creek. The
stage and horses were Immediately sur
rounded and the coach overturned and the
hungry gators swarned over it,
while the stage < driver, with great
presence of mind, cut the traces OF his
horses, and throwing himself across the off
wheel horse, powerful animal formerly
owned Dy Dr. IangIoru, managed to
escape. The courier who conveyed to us
this painful story says nothing OF the fate
of the passengers, but fortunately, there is
every reason to believe that they fell vic
TINS to the al,igators. The Lee county,
Florida, alligator has long been res lrded as
the most dangerous animal infesting
this continent. 1t is much larger than the
gator of the Atlantic coast, and. unlike the
latter, which is timid and inoffensive ami
NAL, it is fearless, aggressive and cruel.
There is not a river or lake in Lee county
which is free from them, and many of the
streams are rendered practically impossible
by the numbers and ferocity Of the gators
inhabiting them. They are ruthless beast,
OF hideous appearance, with no pride of
ancestry or hope of posterity," aud regular
Ishmaelites. every one of taem.

ELBERTON's DUELIsTS.
A Probability That the Matter Will be
Settled

ATHENS, Ga, May 4.-It was rumored
to-day that the difficulty between Messrs.
Harper and Davis of Elberton was in a fair
way of adjustment without further trouble.
Phil DAVIS and his brother, Colsby Davis of
Athens, went up to Elberton and were
kindly received by the people of that town.
1t is said that the first thing Phil Davis did
was to apologize to the lady for any offense
he had given her, with the assurance that
if he had acted in any way
unbecoming to gentlemen he
regretted it exceedingly. A consultation
was held between Mr.. Davis friends, and it
was advised that as he had settled the mat
ter with the lady, there was nothing left for
him to do but drop the matter. Both gen.
tlemen are noted for their courage, and
should q meeting on the field of honor occur
bloodshed would be the result The people
of Elberton will use their influence on the
side of peace and order.

Cotton in low, damp spots was killed by
frost, and planters are experiencing some
difficulty in securing a good stand. New
ground cotton is also behind, and it is
thought by some to be too far gone to be
redeemed. The outlook for the corn crop
is considered excellent Coweta will soon

tinues to progress as she is now progressing.
Moreland is considered the center of &C

a successful vineyard and large truck farm.
Atlanta is his main shipping point. and his

GROWTH OF a TRUE PEARL.
Its Center is an Oysters Egg and i
Secretes Its Own Shell.

aus Oenber Is an oysters Egg and it
Secretes It's own Shell.
From, the Pittsburo Dispatch.
The perfect pearl is found loose in the
interior of the flesh, and has its beginning
in an animal germ. The oysters annually
produce a number of eggs which, as soon
as they develop into diminutive animals,
are thrown out by the mother. Occasion
ally, however, an egg proves abortive and
remains behind. 1t is almost microscopic
in size and is inclosed in q tiny capsule
This capsule now becomes, to all intents
and purposes, foreign substance
But it has certain powers akin to those of
the parent, one of which is that of manu-
featuring, throwing out aud gathering
around itself nacre. The nacre completely
envelopes it, and the germ of an animal is
soon incased in beautiful prison, usually
spherical in form, but sometimes pear
shaped. Its size, of course, depends on the
length of time to which the process is con-
tinued, as the pearl is enlarged by constant
deposits from year to year.
