THE CARPENTERS VCTORI-
 GUS,

The carpenters having been selected by the American Federation of Labor as the first trade to be carried for hours, the carpenters unions determined to take up the fight in the following towns: Chicago, Detroit, Boston, Win ona, Minn.; Charlottesville, Ind; Port land, Ore.; San Francisco, Cal; Oak land, Cal; Louisville, Ky; Knoxville, Tenn; Worcester, Mass; Jeanette, Pa Pittsburg. Pa.; Seattle. w. T.; East St. Louis, Ill.,; New Albany Ind. Spring field, Ill.,; Indianapolis, Ind; New York City; Brooklyn; Alameda, Cal; San Jose, Cal; Omaha, Neb.; Duluth, Min {; Dorchester, Pa.; and Bridgeport, o.
 They have been more generally suc- cessful than the most sanguine expected. In New4ork and Brooklyn the hour day was won without any fight worth men, tioning; of 10000 carpenters employed in these two cities but 100 are on strike They were employed by few small en- ployers, who will have to yield in few days. In Chicago 5,000 carpenters will go to work under the eight hour rule pursuant to settlement arrived at with the new bosses association The car penters have also carried eight hours in Indianapolis, Detroit, Louisville, Seattle, Portland, Or, San Jose, Cal, Oakland, Cal, Springfield, Ill.
 In the following towns reduction to nine hours has been demanded:
 Bayonne, N. J.; Toronto. O.; Lafay- cite, Ind; Youngstown, O.; Elmira, N. Y; Binghampton, N. Y.; Fort Wayne, Ind; Lancaster, Pa.; Salem, Mass; Poughkeepsie, N. r.; New Haven, Pa.; Rochester, N. Y.

Barbers' Union made up the audience

Barbers' Union made up the audience about the truck.
 Henry Enrich was the first German speaker He said:-"You have not come here to listen to dry theories on the eight-hour movement, but 'a hear that thousands of workers all over the world are determined to have their rights. The movement is growing. It is impossible to club it down. to hide it behind prison walls or to down it with cannon and shotguns. The idea has taken hold of the masses. It is inter national, and it will be successful even if it should rain something besides water, as may be done in Europe today Cur demand has set the whole world on fire. Some day the regiments of Labor will become army corps and then the solution of the movement will be reached. It could not be solved on the green table of diplomacy in Berlin
 It IS the duty of workingmen to see that our present civilization does not go to ruin. Everywhere corruption reigns Work for agitation, education and or ganization, and learn discipline"
 Paul Grottkau spoke next in German He said: "Everywhere the workingmen are standing up and demanding their rights. The thrones of the rich and powerful are trembling. It is our duty to be active, to be steadfast, to organize, and to use all our endeavors in aiding this great movement. To-day the work ingmen gather around the red flag; this red color means better conditions and a higher civilization. The thrones of Europe are falling. Eight hours is now the question. What will the next ques tion be? What will the last question be? He that has ears to hear, let him hear. It is only by self help that work ingmen can secure what they want and on themselves alone they must rely to obtain it."
 Daniel Harris, of the Cigarmakers, spoke in English and dwelt ably upon the necessity of reducing the hours of labor and the benefits that woul flow from the general enforcement of the eight-hour workday.
 Walter Vrooman made brief speech in English in which he said that this was the grandest and happiest day in the history of labor. For the first time workingmen throughout the world had on this day, by mutual accord, met un- der the same banner for the same cause. It marked a new era, the ern of universal brotherhood, peace, justice and true civilization.
 The truck near Broadway was sur. rounded by the Hebrew trades. Aaron Henry presided. H. Zametkin said that many Jews of Russia, Germany, Austria and many other European countries had been driven out of the Old World by persecution. But by coming to America they had merely exchanged military despotism for capitalistic tyranny. Now, however, they were organized and would no longer be a despised class
 A. Cahan spoke in the same strain and remarked, amid great applause, that for the first time in the history of the labor movement in this country twelve thousand Hebrew workers had marched under the banner of organized labor.

lAB0R'S GREATEST TURNOUT. HALF A MILLION LONDON TOILERS
 ASSEMBLE IN HYDE PARK.

Three Monster processions March to the
 Meeting Place-rrades Union Men and
 Socialists Fraternize and Cooperate
 to Further the Common Object.
 The greatest of all labor demonstra- tions ever seen was the monster process slon and meeting in London on last Sun, day. It has never been equaed since the days of the monster outpourings of the people which characterized the reform movement of 1867. The most moderate estimate of the number taking part in the Hyde Park meeting to-day Is half million, of which two hundred thousand came in the processons and three hundred thousand gathered at will. This is a very conservative calcu- lation, and some observers do not hesi- tate to assert that fully one million peo- pie participated in the demonstration. There were one hundred and fifty bands of music in the procession.
 The affair was a three-headed one. the largest number of men being under the leader ship of the Trades Council A somewhat less numerous contingent acknowledged the leadership of the Gen. tral Committee, which leans strongly to- ward Socialism; while third and reIa- lively small division was under the con trol of the out and out socialistic organ- zation known as the Social Democratic Federation. All possibility of friction had bt en avoided by careful previous arrangements, and for once people of all shades of opinion on the labor oues- tion joined in common movement. The Central Committees procession moved in much the best form, and was made up of more well-to-do set of workmen.
 When all the marchers had reached the park the scene was an imposing one. | The plainness of garb characteriling the assemblage, as a whole, was largely off set by the gay banners and by the sur. | prisin,, prevalence of personal decora. tions in the shape of bright ribbons rosettes, etc.
 The scene resembled huge fair, the crowd outside of the dense central DOT, tion being dispersed in smaller groups each made up of the auditors of some orator of more moderate fame than that of the leaders, who addressed the main crowd from the central platforms. The park belt, three.quarters of a mile long by half mile wide, was packed with a solid mass of people, while all the street, and ways leading to the park were more CT less congested. The crowd ebbed and flowed, and instead of one meeting there WAS properly speaking continuous succession of audiences. It was impos sible for half the people to hear what was said.
 The marching, or coming and going continued from two o'clock until after nightfall. The best speakers were those furnished by the Central Committee, in cluding the more noted of the moderate socialistic leaders.
 Among the speakers was Paul La fargne, the well-known French Socialist and son-in-law of Karl Marx. He made g strong speech, criticizing the Euro pean governments. He declared thc France was ruled by syndicate oi sweaters and swindlers, who should b, swept away. Other speakers were Gun ningham Graham, John Burns, Ami, Besant and Michael Davitt. Speeche, were made from IA platforms erected il different parts of the park.

A ssint's skull.

A saints skull is soon to form the SUBJ
ject of an action of law at Lyons. The
saint in question is Jean Soanen, who
was bishop of Senez, in the department
of Basses-Alpes, during the reign of
Louis Quinze. The skull was for many
years in the possession of an ancient
family, whose scion, however, disposed
of it short time ago with some old
lumber to a local dealer In bric-a-brac.
He was at loss to know what to do with
the skull, when a broker, hearing Of his
dilemma, bethought of devout lady
'one of his customers-who happened to
be the proprietor of the lower jaw of the
self same saint. The broker conducted
the lady to the shop, and bargain was
concluded whereby, on the payment Of
e40, she became the possessor Of this ad-
ditional relic. After the lady had quit
ted the house in triumph, with the bish-
ops skull neatly packed up, the broker
claimed half the money as the intro
ducer, and, the dealer having refused to
hand over more than 81, he is bringing
the matter before the law courts.-Lon-

A Pauo.r,. Sad I.if..

Recently poor, demented being.
about 90 years old, was brought to the
Waterville house by a man by the name
of Light, from Palermo, who left him to
be cared for until the following Monday.
The man, Amos Murray, has been pau
per since he was 3 years old. From time
to time the support Of Murray has been
sold at auction; the last time he was bid
off by Mr.. Light, who was to clothe
and feed him for $40 per annum, the
balance Of the expenses of keeping him
alive and in working condition coming
out of his body as a slave. Light sub
let Murray to another person by the
name of Prescott. The pauper ran away
from his last owner and found his way
to Waterville. He was a mass of rags,
his feet being incased in pieces Of old
gunny sacks, and he was hungry, tired
and exhausted. Landlord Waite kindly
cared for him and, finding him sick,
gave him extra attention. The man who
brought him disappeared, and when he
returned next day his poor unfortunate
was dying. Saturday he died, and his
remains were taken away by the person
who bid off his support. Kennebec

Railroad Building I'm Russia.

There have never been such large Or
ders for rails from the Russian govern
ment as at present, and these are all be-
ing given to home manufacturers by the
minister of war. The Jastovo line to the
Austrian frontier is to be built on a
double line of rails to be laid down on the
Kursk-Kieff line. Intact, all southwest
ern lines are to be furnished with double
rails. The strategical line to Petrofsk,
on the Caspian, is also to be commenced
in the course of the year, and probably
some progress will be made as regards
the great Siberian line. What is consid-
cred as rather ominous is that all the
new and double lines in European Rus
sia, for which orders are now given out,
are to be finished by 1s9s.-Cor. London

The Philadelphia Record believes the
Republican party is going farther and
farther away from the correct princi-
Piles of trade. It says: Had not few
wide-awake leather manufacturers sue
eeed in putting raw hides on the free
list many years ago they would not
have been able to obtain such q boon in
Congress now. A proof Of this is in the
demand that the duty on hides be re-
stored. Why, is asked in tariff circles,
should not the hide IAN OK be subject
to protected duty as well as the wool
of q sheep? 1t is not easy to answer
this conundrum. But while the count
ry Is advancing toward commercial free
dom, the Republican party is reacting
farther and farther away from liberal
ideas of trade. 1t Is not necessary to
dwell upon the inevitable political
consequences ofthese opposite tenden-
cies- The country is more than a
match for any party.

Money lenders in Dakota are charg-
ing the farmers in the famine district
as much as go per cent. year for loans.
IF the farmer borrows ST. 600 to keep his
family alive, and to work and seed his
land for the next crop, he must pay the
lender 81 800 in one year, and must
give good security that he will do SO
before he can get the money. All hu-
man experience shows that it cannot
be done, and the inevitable consequence
must be that the money lenders will
acquire great tracts of land at about
half their value, while the present ow-
ners will be reduced to penury.

There Is no occasion for any such fium-

dent should not be tied down to one
place In the summer. The country is
rich in attractive resorts, where the ho-
tells are good and cottages can be had at

Il is worthy Of reiteration that milk
heated to az high a temperature as 1t
can be drunk or slipped above 100 de-
grees but not to the boiling point, isOf
great value as refreshing stimulant in
cases of over exertion, bodily or mental.
To most people who like milk, it does
not taste so good hot, but that is q
small matter compared with the bene-
fit to be got from it. Its action is ex-
ceedingly prompt and graceful, and the
effects much more satisfactory and far
more lasting than those of any alcohol
ic drink whatever. 1t supplies real
strength as well as exhilaration, which
alcohol never does.
