Patsy had a severe illness, and
illness at ninety one is not easy
to throw off; yet she is again
cheerfully busy cutting carpet
rags for Mother Steele to sew.
Down in the basement Dick still
holds high carnival, and sere-
nades Aunt Amy at her vege-
tables. Homes have been found
for the three young girls. Matron
Mary is always ready with word
Of commendation for her com
munity, Mrs. Rebecca Jones and
Mrs. Charles Gaitskill, of Burgin,

worn dresses. One of the mana
gers, whose activity in good
works is well known, contrib

Striving.

l'l If you would enter heaven, you
must be earnest about it. Men
were brought on beds to Christ to
be healed, but no man ever went
to heaven lying on his bed and
borne on the shoulders Of others.
You will never wake up some
fine morning and find yourself
pious. The great change will steal
softly over you while you sit at
ease. You must be awake, up,
and at it. You must strive, says
Christ, strive like wrestler who
has his foe and his match; strive
like a runner, when the race is
long and the runners many, and
but one can win; strive like the
soldier, when the conflict is sharp,
and he who..conquers not must die.
Such is the scripture usage of that
"striving'' by which we enter into
life. The word is full Of earnest
ness-earnestness even to agony

Aunt Jeans Letter.

Aunt Jeans Letter.
DEAR FRIENDS: Another month
has been added to our lite span.
What has it added to our record
as responsible beings? We are
all engaged in work which, to do
.acceptably, requires forgetfulness
of self-an absolute putting out
of sight of our own glory. At
the same time the tree is known
by its fruits, and a city which is
set on a hill cannot be hid. Strike
the plumb-line of duty between
ostentation and reserve; do that
which lieth in us, looking neither
to right nor left, and then it may
be written of us, "They have
done what they could" To some
the lines fall unto pleasant places.
Let such rejoice and be glad,
knowing full well that charge
is given them to keep and to an
swer for at the day OF reckoning.
To the poor is multiplied distress
when dreary winter comes. Not
even the meager street comforts
Of warm sunshine and a chance
bit of fruit are theirs now. How
ering over reluctant embers, they
hug their empty stomachs till fed
by charity. 1t@ ia
THE PROTESTANT INFIRMARY
has made it's way to the front
rank Of usefulness. 1t stands a
monument to the most touching
and beautiful traits of humanity.
Think what it is to be helpless;
entirely dependentup upon the kind
ness of others; racked by pain
even unto mortal extrt nifty; driv-
en- to the surgeons knife by Ills
Of the flesh; condemned to days
and nights of agony and weari
ness. Think and be mercltul;
| JON the efforts that are being
made for their relief; in union
there is strength. Here a little,
there a little, becomes by and by
a mighty salvation. Only think;
stop and think. When you sit
down to rest, don't take a book
every time. Calmly look upon
the things that are needful' in
life; remember the poor; try to
put yourself in the places of the
suffering ones tied down upon
beds, looking only, under heaven,
to your minlstering hands. The
Infrmary patients have reached
the usual average since my last,
Some have gone, some have come,
some are improving. Death has
been there; but death, after all,
has been merciful. Some one
said, "Aunt Jean gets the names
, wrong. We do not know any
such persons. Did you think
Aunt Jean meant TO give you
real names? 1t is not necessary
She may introduce the sick and
feeble to you by what names she
chooses, SO that the right chord
is touched. Don't you think 50 !?
Just tell your sick friends where
they may be sure OF a quiet re-
treat and of absolute seclusion,
with skilled nurses to wait upon
them, with all sorts of dellcacles
sent to them, and with any phys
ician they choose to minister to
them. Homes have been found
for friendless convalescents, and
the hopelessly i'll sre in good

The Racket at the Chicago stock yards
Continued By the Switchmen.

The Racket at the Chicago stock YARDS
Continued By the Switchmen.
CHICAGO, Aug. 26-The receipts OF
cattle, hogs and sheep at the stock
yards were heavy yesterday, but Armour
killed only few for the city trade and
the fall orders from Boston, Philadelphia
and elsewhere. Swift and Nelson Nor
ris werc not killing, their houses having
shut down and 5, 900 men who went ex-
pecting to work yesterday morning were
forced to remain idle There was moth
ing for them to do. In the morning Ar
mour applied for police protection and
twenty officers were sent to his house.
Morris also received a guard.
At two o'clock yesterday afternoon
the strikers committee reported to the
strikers that the switching association
had decided to accept the proposition OF
the switchmen in which they asked for
twenty-nine cents per hour for engineers
and eighteen cents for fremen. The
superintendent of the stock yards was
to be notified that every thing would be
moving in one hour. If the men should
refuse to accept this, their own PROPOSE
ton, the railway companies would run
the yards with their own crews.
About three o'clock the striking en-
gineers and fremen prepared to resume
work. but before they could turn wheel
the switchmen, who had held an i'm
promptu meeting and decided to demand
an increase of two cents an hour,
marched in a body to the trainmaster
and presented their new schedule. 1t
was referred to Chairman Boyd, of the
Yard Association, and by him to the
general managers of the roads. About five
o'clock they were informed that their de-
mands were refused. They at tonce voted
to strike. Consequently the condition
of affairs at the yards is not improved.
The switchmen declare they will stay
out for year if their demands are not
granted and they expect the support OF
the switchmen on the connecting roads
and of the engineers and fremen. 1t
was not determined last night just
when the railroads will send new crews
into the yards but trouble is bound to
follow If they attempt to use new men.

LEAD ORE.
The Senate Considers a Weighty
Feature Of the Tariff Bill.
TELLER MAKES An INSINUATION.
Carlisle Denies That the Lead Trust Had
Been Pivoting Round HIm-Pure
Lard Bill Prevented Pass
ing Temporarily.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-In the Senate
yesterday the day was spent in consid-
Grafton of the paragraph fixing the duty
on lead ore. Senators Teller, Stewart
and Jones occupied most of the time in
support of the paragraph, Senator CAT
Isle and Reagan speaking against 1t.
Mr.. Plumb moved to amend the para
graph by reducing the duty on lead ore
from ~ cents a pound to u Of a cent
He thought that the Senate was coming
to point where the system of proteo-
ton would result in breaking down GER
tain home industries and the benefit
from industries, and where the larger
industries were to destroy the smaller
ones
Mr.. Teller thought 1t very hard that
the Senator from Kansas should attempt
to reduce the tariff on lead ores and
thus do violence to great industry.
To open the door to the Mexican ores
would be great Injustice to the people
who have developed lead mines in Colo
RADIO, and to the miners also. He asked
Mr. Carlisle whether the American lead
trust was in favor of the proposed duty.
Mr.. Carlisle professed a want OF
knowledge on that point Mr.. Tell
er asserted that the American
lead trust had kept a lobby all
the session working against the propo-
sition. Mr. Carlisle said that nobody
connected with the lead trust or any
other trust had ever approached him on
the subject and he did not know
whether the trust was opposing or ad-
vocatine the proposition. Mr.. Gray
urged that the ores which are attempt
ed to be shut out by this bill are neees-
sary for use in connection with the dry
ores Of this country. He was fol-
lowed by Senator Jones, of Nevada,
in support of the bill. He sketohed
the growth of the mining industry of
the West and said that wages for miners
In the United States are as high as So
per day, while those of the Mexican
laborers are ffty-four cents per day. To
open the doors and allow the ores OF
Mexico. at this cheap rate Of labor, to
come in competition with those of tAe
United States would be great Injustice
to our workmen.
PURE LARD CHANCES
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Cohgressman
Funston yesterday said: Owing to the
death of Mr.. Watson, of Pennsylvania,
business was suspended to-day, or the
Pure Lard bill would have been passed.
1t will reach vote tomorrow after
noon and all the corrupt Hobbies in
Washington combined could not defeat
it"
The Post says that because Mr.. Hatch,
of Missouri, has favored the Pure Lard
bill he has ruined his chances for the
Speakershipof the next House sh Quld II
be Democratic. The Pure Lard bill is a
deadly blow to cotton seed oil, which
has been used to adulterate lard, and
all Southern Democrats will become
enemies of Hatch. Although a Demo
crat, the Missouri man is an honest
legislator and can afford to go down in
a good cause.
