CHICAGO, April 22.-Samuel Gompers,
night issued an address to the ''wage-
workers and sympathizers with the
progress of America" He says "In
accordance with. the resolution OF the
Boston Convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor to select trade to make
demand for the enforcement of the
eight-hour work-day, May 1st, the Exec
utive Council have decided that the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners of America shall make the de-
mand. 1t appears that the wealth,
power and influence of the employing
and corporate classes of the country are
to be concentrated to defeat the move
ment, which seeks not only to improve
the condition of the employed,
but which will find employment,
and consequently save from pov-
erty, degradation and despair, hun
dreds and thousands OF our idle fellow
men and women. In view of this stu
alton it will be necessary for the wage
workers and the friends of America to
rally Will SIcdlcI liitullulty VI pul pOoC
than ever before. To concentrate all
their efforts to counteract and overcome
the action of our enemies, they must
voluntarily contribute their mite to
place at the disposal of the American
Federation of Labor sum OF money
sufficient to meet all contingencies.
This evening Gompers addressed a
mass meeting in Chicago. He de-
nounced as lepers the non-unionists who
were now taking the places of the strik-
ing carpenters of Chicago.
Some striking carpenters this morn
ing attacked some non-union men at
work, and handled police sergeant
who interfered, roughly. Finally fifty
of the rioters were arrested by the po-
lice
All the brick-makers in the northern
and northwestern parts of the city, to
the number of 1000 men, struck today
for a rate of 1000 bricks for days
work, instead of 5000, and that the pay
remain the same. The bosses are not
worried, as owing to the carpenters
strike, everything is at a standstill in
the building line.

New YORK, April 22.--The court-mar-
tial OF Commander McCalla, of the En-
terprise, United States navy, began at

MARKHAM Is THE MAN.
Judge Carpenter Says Waterman's with
drawal Gives Him the Nomination.

SAN Francisco, April -Ex-Judge
r. B. Carpenter, of Los Angeles, was
seen at the Grand hotel tonight, and in
response to question as to what he
thought of the announcement that Gov
ernor Waterman had declined to permit
his name to go before the convention,
said: ''It is definite and certain that
Governor Waterman is out of the race,
and such being the case, it makes the
nomination of Colonel H. H. Markham
for Governor certainty, for while
there are other gentlemen in
California who have been named
by their friends favorably for
that Office, it is conceded that
Southern California is entitled to
the candidate if the party there can
unite on one man. The withdrawal of
Governor Waterman accomplishes that
result, and the trend of public opinion
is so shown throughout the State toward
Markham, that it is impossible that
either of the gentlemen named will
make much headway against him, and
the entry of dark horse will be
impossible. Markham will grow every
day from now until the date of the cleo
ton. He has never been an office
seeker. He was brave soldier in the
war, good citizen in peace and is a
man of ability and affairs and OF high
personal character and social standing.
He is possessed of good address and
common sense, and will make strong
candidate, and one of the best Gov
ernors the State has ever had"

PrrrsBURG, April 22.-The Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen has taken
up the cause of the switchmen. Various
meetings have been held throughout
the city, but the most important was
held by the Brotherhood of Trainmen,
which takes in the brakemen, firemen,
etc. They not only resolved to cling
to the switchmen in their demands, but
also presented grievances of their own
to be adjusted. In addition to
the trouble now ON hand the
car-inspectors, ght-handlers, car
cleaners, clerks in the freight offices
and men employed in the transportation
department will present in the morning
list of their grievances. The shopmen
employed in the numerous shops about
the city will also present certain de-
mands. The situation tonight is allothe
more grave in that the men have not
been idle, while the railway officials
have up to tonight treated the demands
OF the men with something like indffer-
ence. Grand Master Wilkeson says to-
night they can call out $4,000 men if
necessary, and as the entire brotherhood
is involved, the strike will extend from

Why 1900 wm Not Be . Leap Year.

Why 1900 win Not Be . Leap Year.
 The question is often asked, "Will the year 1900 be leap year9" It will not. When Julius Caesar revised the calendar he appointed an extra day every four years, and his calendar lasted until A. D. 1882. Now the or dinary year is II minutes and II sec onds short of being S654 days in length, so that there isn't really full sized extra day to be added to Febru- ary every four years. Caesar didn't know this, or didn't care about it, and for 1,60O years we kept borrowing from the future, until in 15s2 we'd borrowed ten days. Pope Gregory XIII started to correct this. He or dered Oct. 5, 1882, to be called Octo. Der 15, and, to square things, ordered that centurial years should not, as Q rule, be leap years.
 But if leap year is omitted regular. ly each hundredth year. we pay back nearly day too much so Pope Greg ory further ordered that every centu- rial year which could be divided by 400 should be leap year after all. So we borrow eleven minutes each year from the future; more than pay our bor- rowings back by emitting three leap years in three centuries, and finally square matters by having leap year in the fourth centurial year. This ar rangement is SO exact that we borrow more than we pay back to the extent of only one day in 3,S66 years. Six teen hundred was a leap year. 2000 will be, but 1900 will not be. Any centurial year that can be divided by 400 will be leap year.-Hartford Times.

How to Carve . Turkey.

One way is to cut from the breasts square slices, and proceed in the same way for all the fleshy parts of the bird. Though this is an easy WY for the carver, it has the drawbackof allow ing all the natural gravy to escape and to leave the most delicate morsels clnging to the carcass. Or you may remove the legs separately, place them to one side, and then do the same for the wings, but cut them up in pieces of suitable size; next cut off the white meat as close to the carcass as possible, and, lastly, break up the carcass. A third way, after the wings have been removed, is to break the carcass above the crupper, which remains attached to the legs and forms sort of hood, vulgarly called the "bishops cup" :" This is . good way to serve. Carve when there are only few persons at the table; if the guests are numerous the second way is the better one.- Cor. Chicago Herald.

Poison for Arrow Tips

We are indebted to MT. Frank Smith, of Whitewater, for the very graphic account of the manner in which a Piute Indian prepared his deadly arrows. He gathered dozen or more rattlesnake heads and put them in spherical earthen vessel. With these he put half a pint of g species of large red ant that is found hereabouts. The bite of this ant is more poisonous than that of a bee. Upon these he poured bit of water, and then sealed ap with moist earth and lid this vessel He then dug a hole two feet deep into the ground, in which he built roaring fire and put in some stones. When the interior of the hole and the stones were red hot he made place in the bottom for the earthen vessel and put 1t in. About it and upon it he put the coals and hot stones and upon the top he built a fierce fire and kept it up for twenty four hours. Then he dug out his yes sel, and, standing off with a long pole, he disengaged the top and let the fumes escape. He insisted that had they struck his face it would have killed him. The mass left in the ves- sel was adark brown paste.
 To test the efficacy of his concoc- ton, the Indian with his hunting knife made cut in his bare leg, just kelow tho knees and lot the blood run
