First Principles.

While doing the rounds of the fair last
evening the attention OF our reporter was
attracted to the exhibit of the EwelPs XII
Dairy Bottled Milk Company, and numerous
queries put to the genial prince of milkmen
ELECTED much information that may be of
interest to the many readers of The CALL.
Firstly, Mr.. Ewell, what has this ice
machine got to do with the milk business?"
"Why, sir, this is only fac-simile of one
we have at the ranch to cool our milk, which,
you know, is bottled warm from the COW,
and in twenty minutes is reduced to tenn
perature of 40 degrees. This little machine
can produce 200 pounds of ice per day, the
one at the ranch 10000 pounds or its eauiva-
lent in cold storage. And this refrigerator?
Well, that is an invention of my own, and
which L am having duplicated at our depot,
at the corner of Folsom and Twenty-first
streets, to keep milk as cool as it IS deliv-
cred from the ranch, by another ice machine
of less power, but of the same patent. And

one of 40 600 which we distributed and found
we hadn't enough to 60 around. This is to

'Baby's Strike? Well. all oD the same
idea. 'Baby's Strike as you can see, is to
let parents know how important it is to give
their children pure milk. In fact all this
display is to demonstrate to the public that

don't we prove it by the only test? That is,
the people try it and see for themselves. By
the way. have some," and as the scribe dis
posed of quart bottle he had to admit that
Ewell's boast was not overirawn, and as
the delicious fluid permeated our being our
only thought was as indited above, first
principles, purity and honesty, are all em-
bodied!in Ewell's system of producing and
serving milk. We can only say, as Ewell
explained, try it's

THE SOCIALISTS.
A Stormy Debate at Yesterdays Session of
the Halle Congress

HALLE, Oct. 13-At to-day's session of
the Socialistic Congress, Herr Singer made
an address in which he pointed out that the
attendance at the congress of delegates
from Paris, London, Copenhagen, Geneva,
Warsaw, Vienna, The Hague and Stock
holm carried out the prediction of Karl
Marx, to the effect that the pr0letarians of
all countries would eventually unite to full
fill the mission of socialism ana effect the
liberation of suffering humanity. Letters
expressive of sympathy with the objects
of the congress were read from American,
Swiss, Italian, French and English Socialist
societies for the promotion of the working
mans education. An address from Italian
Socialists was also read.
Herr Bebel reported that the party had
greatly increased since the Socialist Con-
gress was held in Paris. The party now
owned 104 trade organs, which had 600, 600
subscribers.
There was a stormy discussion over the
Socialist propaganda. Herr Bprnd declared
the Berlin Socialists were opposed to the
measures favored by the extremists Grill
lenberger denounced Werner as a business
Socialist and said he was prepared 10 prove
that Werner was dislOyal TO the party.
Liebknecht and Basel denounced Anarch-
ism and violence. Singer justified the mod
er&te course adopted in the demonstrations
on last May day, and defended his action in
voting with the Liberals A majority of the
speakers supported the party leaders against
the Berlin opposition. The attendance at
to-day's session was enormous The gen.
eral opinion is that opposition has been
finally routed.
