The Federated Trades Will Not Affiliate
with Socialists.
At Detroit on the 10th, the American
Federation received a number of tele-
grams from the secretary of the coasting
sailors union of the Pacific coast, call
ing attention to a pending bill in Con-
gress for the enforced shipments OF sea-
men. The secretary urged immediate
attention to the bill on the ground that
if it is passed the organization of sea-
men will become an inpossibility. 1t
is thought to be a move on the part OF
vessel owners to break up sailors unions
A resolution pledging the members OF
the convention to the support of the
Socialist Labor Party in it's efforts to Sc
cure legislation to promote the labor
movement was reported on adversely
a resolution authorizing the publication
of an official journal by the American
Federation of Labor was favored by the
committee. The matter was then laid
on the table.
Then followed long discussion upon
the subject of printing the proceedings
and other matters of the federation in
foreign languages. This was opened by
a favorable report of the committee
which was finally accepted

in seven weeks there were 1,2OO
deaths throughout the country, and the
number at last accounts was on the in

were taken when the epidemic first APP

pie have been moved down by hun

Kilima Ciaro.

Two German explorers, DIR. Hans
Meyer and Professor Purtscheller, have
had the thrilling experience of a climb
to the topmost peak of Kilima Marc, the
great snow mountain of Africa, almost
under the equator.
The mountain is volcanic in origin.
About the foot Of it is plateau IA, $50
feet above the sea level (nearly three
miles,. Even at this height the snow
line was not visible. Nearly half q mile
further climbing brought them in sight
Of the first snow in the sheltered crevices
Of the rocks, 16,50O feet above the sea.
The mountain side is rugged and savage.
Three miles above the sea level at one
point is what is called the valley of gla-
ciers, full Of peaks and fields of ice.
with tremendous clefts and assures in
them. When Africa is civilized, here
will be fortune to some enterprising
American company-supplying ice from
Kilima Marc to the whole Dark Cont
nent.
Oct. s the two explorers "bivouacked
in the Lava cave" IL. 200 feet above their
fellow men. Next day they climbed the
topmost peak Of Kilima Marc. 1850
feet high, and there planted the German
flag. Dr.. Meyer proposes to call the
point Kaiser Wilhelm peak. From this
height the explorers looked into . vast
volcanic crater girdled by a belt Of ice.
The description sounds like Rider Hag-
CARDS novels. The Kibs crater, as It ID
called. is GOO feet deep. and in the center
rises a perfect volcanic cone, 500 feet
high.

A Noble Gin


At the close of 1889 the Joliet Steel
company, of Joliet, Ills, presented to its
employees gift which showed its appre-
.ation of those who make its prosperity.
The Joliet Steel company employed
1000 men. This year they will spend
:heir evenings and leisure time in club
,ouse as handsome as any in which
millionaires amuse themselves. The
house is a beautiful stone structure, three
stories high. 1t contains hall for large
meetings and dancing, reception parlors,
: gymnasium. art gallery and lunch
rooms.
There is also commodious swimming
tank, in which 800 steel workers may
enjoy a plunge at once. There is hand
some library, already containing 1000
volumes, and 1900 more volumes are to
be added during the year. Facilities
for amusements are ample. The billiard
room has six tables. The employees may
hold parties and receptions in the build
ing, with their families. They may use
it for lecture room or opera house, or
for ordinary social entertainment. The
house is heated by steam and lighted by
electricity. at the company's expense.
They also pay for keeping it clean.
The company were generous enough
not to shackle their gift with restrictions
which would make it ungracious Once
given to the employees, it is theirs. The
board of directors are chosen by them
selves from among themselves. They
have full control and management. The
conditions accompanying the magnifi-
cent gift are few and simple. They are
that no intoxicating liquors shall be sold
on the premises, that no betting or gam
bling shall be allowed within its walls,
that the members shall behave with pro-
priety and not injure the property, and
finally that no political or religious
meetings shall ever be held within the
building. That club house is neutral in
politics and religion.
May not this beautiful homo for the
steel workers be prophecy Of the time
when employers and employees shall no
longer look on each other as natural en-
emies? In his presentation address the
vice president of the company said:
1--WE say to you in conclusion, be men,
We put you on your honor; think, speak.
act as men in this club. You will find
no signs up in the rooms with the word
don't in them; no notice to Use the
spittoons,' 'wipe your boots take of
your hat and so forth.
1--WE look to you to acquit yourselves
like men, and to be honest with US and
with each other in the use Of oil your
privileges and thereby justify the conf
dence we repose in you"

peasant vassals, and Eow the cruel Kot.
suke-no-Suke. thirsting for vengeance,
determined to destroy the whole family
of Sogoro. In vain his tenants, his samu-
raj, his councillors, and even the princes
Of the surrounding country besought
the lord of Soma to be merciful; the
bloody tyrant was memorable. Sosoro
and his wife were condemned to be cruel
fed, and their three sons, aged Z, 10 and
IL respectively. were ordered to be be-
headed in the presence Of their parents.
On the day of the execution all the in
habitants of the 1875 villages Of Soma
assembled to bid Sogoro and his wife
farewell and to encourage them with
their presence and prayers. There was
not one there, even to the cxecutioners
themselves, that did not call down the
blessing Of heaven upou the martyrs,
while curses, deep and bitter, were
hurled against the hated Kotsuke-no-
Suke. After the parents were made fast
to the crosses the three boys were led
forth and beheaded in their sight. Friends
received the bodies and bore them away
to prepare them for burial. o Man, So
goro's wife, turning to her husband, said
in cheerful voice:
Remember, my husband, that from
the first you had made up your mind to
this fate. What though our bodies be
disgracefully exposed on these crosses,
We have the promises Of the gods before
US; therefore. mourn not. Let US fix our
minds upon death; we are drawing near
to paradise ana shall soon be with the
saints. Let US cheerfully lay down our
lives for the good Of our people,"
"Well said, wife," responded Sogoro,
gayly. II am happy because have at
tanned my hearts desire. Our petition
was successful; had I 500 lives, and
could l 500 times assume this shape Of
mine, I would die 600 times to redress
the wrongs Of our people,"
Then the executioner, taking his spear,
thrust it into the side of o Man and into
the side Of her husband, and both died
there in the sight of the sorrowing peas
ants. And Kotsuke-no-Suke's chief coun.
cilor, when all was over, came and knelt
down before the dead body of the farmer
and said:
Although you were but . peasant you
Aved your brethren. You bruised your
bones and crushed your heart for their
sakea Honors shall yet be paid to your
spirit, and you shall be canonized as Q
saint; you shall become . tutelar deity
among the people Of Soma"
And 20 1t came to pass. The farmers
Of Soma made the grave Of Sogoro place
Of prayer, and gradually came to look
upon him q divine. Finally, . temple
arose In his honor, and he was at length
duly canonized q Buddhist saint.-W.
