CHICAGO, April 25.-A joint commit
tee of the striking carpenters and the
new bosses association have asked for a
conference with the old bosses association
with a view to a $, ttlement of the strike.
A conference will probably be held tomor-
row. 1t is not probable the old bosses
will accede to the mems terms.
The situation in the carpenters strike
is practically unchanged, everything APP
pearing to depend on tomorrow's joint
conference between the new boss carpeu-
tiers association, the carpenters council
and the builders ASSOCIATION. Numerous
deeds OF violence on the part of the strik
ers in various portions of the city are re-
ported today. In some instances the
work done by non-uuion men has been
torn to pieces by subsequent raids of
strikIng-carpenters.

BosToN, April 25.-Tuesday evening
among the set-tos at the Bay State Ath-
letic club rooms was IN between j.. Il.
Fallon and John Murray, both OF Rox-
bury. Murray gave Fallon a terrific blow
on the left side OF the head just above the
ear. Fallon fell to the floor like a log and
all medical means employed to bring him
back to consciousness proved futile.
Alter examination it was found that a
blood vessel in the left side OF the brain
had been ruptured, causing paralysis of
the entire right side OF the body. The
police this morning arrested Murray and
William North of Rockingham place.
Fallon cannot survive many hours. He
is unconscious.

MONTREAL, April 25.-The Conserva-
tives made the charge that six priests at
tended the caucus of the opposition party
tho other evening and a serious accusa-
ton in consequence has been laid before
Archbishop Fabre against Able Redard,
cure of St. Constant, The cure is &C
cused of having refused to give the Easter
communion to a number of pensioners
because they were opposed to candidates
at the municipal election IN which he was
interested The archbishop is said to
have ordered an inquiry. The able is
very active in politics. AT the recent
provincial elections a number of his
Pensioners say they gave him money
which they received as brides to vote for
the Nationalist candidates and which their
consciences would not allow them to keep.
The able, it is stated, said nothing about
it until he was made to appear la court
and put on the witness stand. He has
also a large number of lawsuits against
him. The probabilities are that a great
sensation will be caused by the revelations
threatened by the Con ervative party, and
which will clearly show, it is believed, to
what great extent the elections in Quebec
are practically controlled by the clergy,
and it is limited usually for a money con-
sideration.

MINNEAPoLIs. April pa row is
promised over the management Of the
state prison. The last legislature voted
that the conyicts be employed to make
binding Irvine, the design being to break
the twine trust. Prison Inspectors Edwin
Dunn and f. w. Temple were delegated
to co east and investigate. They visited
various branches OF the rust and returned
to report the manufacture of Irvine by the
convicts entirely impracticab!c. This re
port did not suit the Farmers Alliance.
r. j. Hall, president of that organization,
began investigation on his own account
and arrived at a conclusion quite different
from that reached by the prison inspect
ors. The report OF the latter stated that
a plant for making Irvine from flax. to
employ sevcnty-tiye men, would cost any.
where from 81 600, 900 to 50. 900, 900; that
the prison could not furnish the ground
required for such a plant; that
binding Irvine could not be successfully
made from flax, aud the labor would
be Improbable, as it would come in com
petition with the very cheapest class Of
~labor-women and girls. An interesting
meeting was held at the governors office
today, when Mr.. Hall produced evidence
to show that the plant would not cost
nearly as much as had been stated, that
there was plenty of room at St. Cloud,
that binding Irvine was successfully made
from fax, and that it would come in com
petition with labor entirely outside the
state. So well did he present the case
hat Governor Merriam was convinced
that there should be a rehearing in the
matter and appointed Mcssrs Hall and
Lathrop on the part of the alliance and
Nori>h and Temple for the board to make
another investigation and report to him
upon the practicability and desirlbility of
establishing a WINE factory at the state
prison. This commission will go f. st
early in May and make a thorough in

Poor London children certainly enjoy
much amusement and recreation which
their parents never anticipated in Their
youth. The latest philanthropic idea is
to give Happy Evenings" t. board
school children, so as to teach the little
ones healthful play and keep them out
of the streets. This plan has been most
successful in Lambeth, so now Mrs.
Jeune, who has had 80 much expert

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, April 25.-The
woodcarvers' union, one of the strongest
trade organizations in the city, including
all but a few of the carvers employed in
the numerous furniture factories, have
filed a request with the manufacturers
that hereafter nine hours be considered a
days work in their department with nine
hours pay. Other of the woodworking
trades will probably act likewise. Both
the employees and the manufacturers will
act conservativ. ly in the movement and
no trouble is anticipated either in the
way of strikes or locke outs. Several OF
the manufacturers are willing to adopt
the nine hour system throughout their
respective factories, but the reduced
hours of work would necessitate the IN
ployment of more men. and this would
require additional factory room and ma
chinery, all of which is highly expensive.
-Four years ago the workmen, then very
strongly organized. asl ell for the adop-
ton of the eight hour system and the
manufacturers let them have it on the
eight hour pay basis. For two months
the workmen had their way. and then,
getting weary of the reduced revenue,
desired to return to TIE old system They
were accommodated and ten hours has
been the rule since.

The sudden transition. from an earnest
and devoted defense of the man, to an easy
and familiar inquiry about him, startled
Sir Giles.
For the moment he had nothing to say;
Iris had made him think. She had shown
a capacity for mastering her strongest
feelings at the moment when thev threat
ened to overcome her, which is very rare
~ found in a young woman. How to
manage her was a problem for patient
resolution to solve. The bankers obsti-

refused for the second time. His head
strong goddaughter had come to visit him
of her own accord. She had not forgotten
the days of her childhood, when he had
some influence over her-when she had
found him kinder to her than her father
had ever been. Sir Giles saw that he had
taken the wrong tone with Iris. His an
ger had not alarmed her; his opinion had
not influenced her. In Hugh's interests
he determined to try what consideration
and indulgence YOU do towards culti-
waiting the growth of her regard for him.
Finding that she had left her maid and
her luggage at the hotel, he Hospitality
insisted on their removal to his own house.
"While you are in Ardoon, Iris, you are
my guest" he said.
She pleased him by readily accepting
the invitation-and then annoyed him by
asking again if he had heard anything of
Lord Harry.
He answered, shortly and sharply: "I

AS she mentioned that formidable BROTH

the police office. He announced that a

On ordinary occasions, the head clerk
was not a man accustomed to insist on
what was due to his dignity. At the
same time he was a sensible human being,
conscious of the consideration to which
his responsible place in the office entitled
