THE EIGHT-HOUR DAY.
1t Will Be Asked for by Stock
yards Men.

CHICAGO, March 16.-At a meeting of
stockyards laborers and packing house
employees this afternoon, President
O'Neil, of the packers union, intImated
that formal demand would be made
within fortnight for the establishment
of an eight-hour day for all classes
of labor in Packingtown, cOmmenc-
ing May 1. The continuous retention
of two weeks pay from the men by the
larger firms is another grievance which,
with the so-called iron-elad contract.
there is desire to have abolished at
meeting that nearly 1000 men are al
ready pledged to ask these concessions.
President O'Neil apparently voiced the
sentiments of those present when he
declared that arbitration. not strike,
was wanted, and that he believed arbi-
tration would not be refused.

A Celebrated Amulet and the Re-

markable Properties Credited
toIt.
Troy Times,
The toad has had it's day of Importance
in the minds of those who look for speci-
FIGS against diseases. and SO has the
toad-stone, which was described by
Joanna Baillie in letter to Sir Walter
Scott as celebrated amulet which was
never lent to any one unless upon bond
for LOCO marks for it's being safely re-
stored. 1t was sovereign for protecting
newborn children and their mothers
from the power of the fairies. and has
been repeatedly borrowed from my
motherfor this purpose"
This amulet was described as being a
convex circular stone, rather less than
three-Quarters of an inch in diameter,
semi-transparent, dark gray and ap-
parently silicious composition; it was
set in a massive silver thumb ring. Be-
sides its virtue as charm for keeping
off wicked fairies, the toad-stone was be-
lieved to be specific against diseases
of the kidneys; it was immersed in cup
of water and the water was then quaffed
off.

is advancing rapidly in consequence of
the miners strike. 1t is the general

arc covered by force of hands digging,
and laying rock, preparing founda-
ton for the Boiler and Engine Works of
Mr.. Rarig. In addition to tho immense
structures necessary for the plant itself.
fifty residences have been contracted
for, to accommodate the operatives who
will move here with their families from

present located.
Messrs. Ware and Wingfield. contrac-
tors, began work on the new NJ. f..
Church building Monday. The site is on
the northwest corner of the intersection
of Chestnut avenue with Twcnty-hrst

and to cost about $1,000.
Mr.. Barclay, president of the Buena
