An American Section in YOnkers.
Hudson, Sept. s.

B. GRETSCH, Sec'y:-At last have the
great satisfaction of being able to inform
you that the establishment of the Ameri-
can Section of Yonkers is now pretty
well assured. Last night, at the regular
meeting of the German Section, this
question was brought forth and the con
sequent debate resulted in the adoption
of the following resolutions
THAT the German Section would see
with favor the establishment of an Anne
rican Section and that the elements and
conditions were such as to justify the
expectation of good success"
A second motion was then made and
adopted, as follows: THAT the English
speaking members present organize an
American Section Immediately after the
adjournment of this meeting" Accord.
ingly the American Section was organ
lied with seven members and the follow
ing officers were elected: Organizer:
Edmund Mueller, 124 WaverIy Place;
Recording Secretary: Charles Steinmetz,
same address; Financial Secretary:
Netsch, 80 Maple street; Treasurer:
Charles Bother, 1856 Nepperham avenue;
Pamphlet-Agent, Fred BENEFITS, 80
Webster avenue; Agent for WoRRMEN's
ADVOCATE; Hafemann, rs Washington
street. The seventh member present
was Bredahl. 6 North Broadway; two
American members were absent, Tho
mas Nicoll and Kingston. We have
few more members who are able to join
and we are sure of getting some new
ones.
The German Section has good col
lection of English books, which it will
lend us and we shall take the stock of
English pamphlets at its value. You
will notice that our pamphlet agent is
Comrade BENEFITS, an interchangeable
worker. We shall take special pains to
increase the circulation of the WORK.

read Edward Bellamy's wonderful book,
Looking Backward, and think it one
of the greatest books ever produced. |
had chance acquaintance a young
man named Marcus King, with whom
| had several conversations about the
organization of Labor and he finally
presented me with this charming book,
IN which every thing was SO plain to me
that, after reading it, | made vow to
devote my life, in my humble way, to
the propagation of ideas that viii bring
peace and happiness to this great nation,
where now such misery and want are
staring us in the face If people would
but put their mental faculties into play
and see what could be achieved by doing
justice to their fellow men, they would
not hesitate a moment in attaining for
tnems Ives happy and peaceful life as
we'll as for the whole nation. Everybody
feels confident that we are gradually
approaching toward this great end. If
not for us of the present century, then
we shall devote our energy for those of
VIC lutuIt,lOl Oul Cnlluieil, LOT our race.
In reading this book ! have seen many
things that | never even dreamed of
before; and if the people that read this
will take girls advice and do likewise,
they will receive new light upon the
capabilities of mankind, and they will
find their whole being inspired by this
great work.

dynasty, In carrying out this policy it
was necessary for Bismarck to pIacate u
portion of the German people, that he
might use them against the rest; and
thus he was really the disintegrator in
stead of the unifer of Germany. Mr..
Oppenheimer then showed how the
people, uniting in their common cause,
finally hurled this Iron Man into OBJ.
security, where he has since felt so rest
less.
Mr., Glynn. who followed, drew a
lesson from the grand triumph over
tyranny achieved by the united German
Socialist vote. He appealed to the
audience to promote unity here, so that
the American people, bound together by
their common grievances, might not
only redress them, but establish such
condition of affairs that there would be
no cause for future grievances.
At next Sundays meeting of The club
a lecture will be delivered by Walter

Bismarck and His Policy.

The above subject was ably handled
by Mr.. Moses Oppenheimer before Ma
;onalist Club No. at their hall, ia W.
14Ch street, last Sunday afternoon.
The lecturer showed that, notwith-
standing the German people were divid-
ed into "a number of petty kingdoms and
principalities previous to the unihca'
tion which finally took place in the
time of Bismarck, still strong senti-
ment for unity prevailed among the
people and this unity would eventually
have been realized even if Otto Won Bis
marck had never been microscopically
visible on the terrestrial sphere. In
support of this view he instanced how
this common feeling among the German
neople was appealed to in 1918, to repel
the invasions of Napoleon and how
>ffectually the appeal was answered.
This 1t was, not Bismarck, who united
the German people.
Ha ing disabused his audience of the
idea current in this country, that Bis
marck united the German people, the
lecturer outlined the policy OF this am
bilious tyrant after the unltication was
an accomplished fact His lust for
power impelled him to strengthen the
throne, believing foolishly, as events
have since shown. that as long as the
throne stood, so would the Bismarckian

The Financial Times London), in an
exhaustive review of the worlds wheat
crops, comes to the conclusion that.
compared with 1899, Europe and Egypt
will give an increased yield of 80 900, 900
bushels From this it proceeds as fol
lows: ITO this S0,000,000 bushels may
be added million bushels to cover any
possible Increased production in Can
ada, Australasia and the Plate. making
a total of IS million bushels more wheat
harvested in 1890 than in 1899, outside
the United States and India. In these
two countries the crop is at least 95
million bushels less than last year, so
that the wheat crop of the world is this
year 10 million bushels below the pro.
ductIon of 1889 But in 1899 the produc-
tiCn was not equal to the demand, and
reserves throughout the world were
seriously reduced. In estimating the
probable requirements, the yield of other
food crops must be taken into cOnsid-
Grafton. In this connection the most
important change for the better has
been in the European rye crop, which
throughout Europe is a good average
one. On the other hand, potatoes are
seriously diseased wherever extensively
grown, and in many places the crop is
total failure. The American maize
crop, which is largely exported in the
grain, and indirectly in the shape of
meat, is from five to six hundred bushels
under last year, and the enormous differ
ence between the exports of this cereal
after a good crop and after a poor one
may be seen by comparing the exports
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1888,
with those of the year ending June 30,
1890. In the former year. following
upon he poor harvest Of 1887, but "a j
million bushels of maize were exported,
while in the latter fiscal year, following
on the good crop of 1899. the exports
were considerably over 100 million bush
els. In view Of these estimates. we
must agree with the report of the Hun
garlan Minister OF Agriculture, which
concludes that owing TO the scantv sur,
pluses that remain Of last years stock
and to the deficiency of railway Trans
port in Russia, it is anticipated that the
demand will exceed the supply, and that
there will be rise in the price OF wheat
and further diminulion of the wheat
reserves of the world

CEREAL AND OTHER CROP
CONDITIONS,


The grain markets were stimulated ON
Wednesday by the publication of a
bullish grain crop report. 1t was the
regular monthly report from the Agri
cultural Department ut Washington
and showed, with respect to winter
wheat at the time of harvesting, that
the condition was less favorable on July
/. The results of threshing. so far as
known, are disappolntiug; the present
average Of condition being 1Sl, against
1G.2. Spring wheat, too, has suffered,
It's average falling from 1872 in July to
1913 during August. For both kinds of
wheat the September average is placed
at 70, against = two years ago, and as
compared with % in 1881, The Indian
corn crop sustained further injury from
drouth during August, until relieved by
rain, which nevertheless came too late
for full recovery, The September aver
age is placed by the department at 70.1,
against 1873 one month earlier, the low
est average since 1881. The corn crop
is said to be late in the eastern states,
also in New York aud PENNSYLVANIA.
The Atlantic coast states return rela-
lively high condition, impaired locally
by the effects of midsummer drouth and
late storms. In Tennessee and Mis-
sissippi, Arkansas and Texas Il drouth
from the Goth Of June to the middle of
August reduced the condition too low
for subsequent recovery, as the crop
was maturing before rains came. The
Ohio valley and the Missouri valley
report protracted drouth and low con
dition. While the rains of the last two
weeks of August have been beneficial
nearly everywhere, it is said they have
not always restored the losses of the first
half of the month. In the bottom lands
the recent rainfall may make "a good
crop. The lowest condition is in Kan
sas, though some of the eastern coun-
ties make good returns. The Dakotas
and Nebraskas are little higher.
Rye yields less than expected, and the
condition, as reported, is reduced to 50.
The September condition of oats is the
lowest ever reported, having fallen from
TO- l in August to g. The rate of yield,
1t is said, will be the smallest in twenty
years. The condition of barley is not
very seriously lowered, from 80 to 7SG.
Buckwheat has fully maintained its
August condition, the average being
90,5 against 90,l. The figures for pota
toes have fallen since August from TIA
to 65.7, the lowest ave rage ever reported,
that of 1887 being GT3. Tobacco has
improved material during the month,
the average being S2.4, much better
than in the August report, but lower
than the July condition. The reported
percentage for fattening swine is 81 per
cent, and their condition 937. !
The condition of the domestic cotton
crop is relatively favorable. This, then,
and tobacco constitute noteworthy ex-
ceptlons i'll tins conspicuously short
crop year We are, apparently, to
have short crops of almost all agri-
cultural staples except cotton, sugar,

Commodore yand.rbil,.. F,rs, Boat.

Mrs. Waddell's friendship with the
founder of the Vanderbilt family was
life long and her ~recollections of the
great money getter are of a nature to
cast a strong light upon his personal
ity. The following story illustrative
of his push and energy in early youth
was told:
1t lisa well known fact hat for years
Commodore Vanderbilt sailed a peri.
auger" and in it took "a daily cargo of
green groceries to the New York mar
ket. The shrewd way in which he be-
came skipper Of his first craft is thor
oughly characteristic. II seems that
at the age of 16 Nelly" had developed
a great affection for rowing, sailing
and other water sports. An old Staten
Island fisherman had a sailboat which
he offered to sell for 800, and
Nelly thought if he could only be-
come the owner of this particular
boat he would indeed be happy. He
hadn't the money. however, aud as a
last resource applied to his mother.
NELLY" she said, '.you see that
eight acre lot out there" pointing TO
an unpromising looking stony field.
NELLY" said he did. well, if you
pillow, harrow and seed that lot you
shall have the 800. Nelly" induced
several boys of the neighborhood by
promises Of jolly excursions TO turn in
and help him. In a week they had
the job done and the 500 was paid
over. "Neilly" then beat the owner
Of the boat down to $95, and purchased
the craft at that price. The commodore
TO the end of his days never ceased to
regret that on the first sail he broke a
hole in the boats bottom that it cost S.
10 repair.
Mrs. Waddell once remarked to the
commodore, Il dare say, many
wealthy New Workers would be hap
pier il they had pockets in their
shrouds, in which they could carry 10
the next world the wealth they aecu-
mulate in this"
"Ah, no." replied Mr.. Vanderbilt.
IF shrouds had pockets the strife and
turmoil on Wall streets would be in
creased fourfold.n-New York Tri-

in which a boy, aged 10, was admitted
into an iniirmary in consequence of
having lost the whole Of the integu-
ment Of one Of his legs from the knee
TO the ankle, the result of "A burn he
had received some weeks previous. A
fortnight after admission skin grating
was carried out, the skin used being
that obtained from a young grey
hound. Several strips Of the borrowed
integuments were applied TO the

For Ifill CIim bers.

The physical energy or force some
times eNerted by the human body UNI
der ccrtains conditions is known 10 be
astonishing, but no one has ever taken
the trouble 10 put before us thai force
in figures. DIR. j. Bucheistcr has now
made a most interesting calculation
on the work done" by snountaiucers
in ascending heights, which will serve
AS an illustration. Srpposing a noun
taineer weighing lGS pounds is max
ing the ascent of a summit 1000 feet
high from the point of starting, he has
TO expeud an amount of physical force
found by multiplying his weight by
the height to be assembled. In the
case assumed, a weight of 16s pounds,
multiplied by a height Of 1000 feet,
equals 1,l7G,000 foot pounds; or in,
other words, 1,l76,000 pounds have to
be lifted one foot.
This is work performed merely by
the muscles Of the legs, but besides
this, the contractions Of the muscles
Of the heart have TO be taken into ac-
count. Its function consists, as is we'll
known, in propelling the blood col,
Letting in the heart on the M hand
into the arteries, and on the other into
the lungs. This is effected at an in
itial velocity of one and one-half foot
per second, which represents in the
case Of an adult a work Of four foot
pounds for each contraction of the
heart. The ~pulsations of an adult
are, on an average, seventy-two per
minute, but in ascending heights, ow-
ing to the additional exertion, their
number is increased TO an extraordi-
nary extent.
Assuming, for the sake of simplicity
in calculation, only 100 beats Of the
pulse per minute, this would give 400
foot pounds per minute, $4,000 foot
pounds per hour, and 100, 900 foot
pounds for the five hours supposed TO
be required in ascending a height of
1000 feet. The work performed by
the muscles in breathing. by the ex-
pansion and contraction of the chest,
may also be estimated at 4 foot pounds.
Assuming, further, that the number
Oh Ortatlllngs per minute II. on the av-
erage, only 25, although, as a matter
of fact, it will be found to be higher
in a mountain ascent lasting five
hours, we have TO add further work of
10000 foot pounds.
The total work performed during
five hours by a mountaineer conse-
Quently amounts 10 l,32G, 600 foot
pounds. In this estimate are not in
cluded the physical force spent in
overcoming the friction on the ground.
the eXertions 10 be made in keeping
the body erect at dizzy heights, and in
dragging heavy boots and foot irons,
northe loss of muscle power in cutting
steps in the Ice, not to reckon the
work performed in carrying an ice
OK, or the physical force exerted in
crossing fresh loose snow. Taking all
these conditions INTO account, DIR.
Bucheister arrives at the conclusion
that the work done in an ascent of
1000 feet, lasting five hours, cannot
be placed at less than 1850, 600 foot
pounds. AIron.

A Great Corn Husker.

We find the record Of an Illinois
man in an Illinois cornfield that SO
covers the husker with glory that the
feat of the western husker is but as a
lightning bugs competition to the
electric light. Mr.. George Lvison
husked a crop Of corr in Piatt county
which averaged about fifty bushels to
the acre The crop yielded 1876
bushels, which Mr.. Levison gathered
in nineteen consecutive work days, or
an average Of 1911 bushels a day.
This husker claims having husked for.
ty-seven ears in a minute and thirty
seven ears 10 the minute for one hour.
He received two cents a bushel for his
work, which gave him good day
wages. This tops them all. Now for
the next. Joliet Republican-Sun.
