G. W. Guilds, of the Philadelphia
Ledger, is one of the best known citizens
of this country. There is not the least
doubt that it lay in his power to have
secured the last republican nomination
for the presidency. But he bore in mind
the experience of his old friend, General
Grant, who had earnestly said one day
"Childs, Iwould rather he the proprietor
of the Ledger than President of the Uni
ted States. You are in for life, and you
can have it all your own way"
OF Mr.. Childs the philanthropist all the
world knows well. But il by no means
knows all, Every morning his mail is
burdened with begging letters, and his
antc-room crowded with beggars of every
type. He does not lavish his money
without investigation, but he is a
princcly givcr, and only himself knows
the extent of his generosity. A few years
ago he turned over to certain philadcl-
phia charitable institutions the whole
handsome income, amounting to almost
$50, 900, which he had derived as one of
the administrators OF vast estate. Mr..
Childs, ofcourse, can afford to be phian-
thropc but that is not the keynote of
his philanthropy. lie loves to give. "lf
were asked" he once said, "the secret
Of my supposed success, would say the
doing good and being kind to Others. It
is so easy to set out right in this world,
and to form character by training ones
self to acts Of generosity and kindness.
Presently II becomes natural to do good
and be unsclfish. On the contrary, let a
boy be trained to keep and hoard, and
that is the end Of his native humanity"

| A meeting of master mechanics wa.
held in the third story of the Hendr,
block last night for the purpose of con
sidering the demand for a nine. hour day
]. NJ. Wcstail was made chairman, and
asked for the ideas of any present. VIM
Bouis spoke for Mr.. J. A. Tcnnent. who
was unable to attend, and quoted him
as being opposed to nine hours work
with ten hours pay. Mr.. w. L. Wolfe
stated that he was opposed to it, as
were the plasterers, and that they were
in n different situation from other con-
tractors.
I'VE hire great many colorcd men at
S1.OO day." said Mr.. Wolfe, "and il we
only pay them for nine hours work they
will he placed at serious disadvantage,
as it will knock sixty cents a week out
of their pockets, and that is quite con-
sideration when man is working for
81 day"
Mr.. ]. NJ. Westal gave his views on
the subject also.
"Up to this date" he said, "the con-
tractors have taken considerable work.
All estimates are based on the prevailing
prices and ten-hour day. A loss of one
hour in the day would equal an advance
of 10 per cent. in wages. The loss in
Cured will fall on the contractor and not
the owner of the building. For present
work it is impossible to acccde to the de-
mand for ten hours pay. have con-
tracts for considerable building and cx-
pect to pay the same wages. II men
were to work nine hours for ten hours
pay would lose several hundred dol
lars
Mr.. S. G. Bouis gave his experience in
a strike in Washington several years ago,
and said that the workmcn here could
not afford to have building stop. All
others who spoke were opposed to the
movement.
The following preamble and resolution
were adopted:
Whereas, We have four to five months
work contracted for, amounting to over
5000. .0O0 all calculations being based ON
the ten hour system now in vogue, and
Whereas, the new system, il adopted. |
would have u tendency to detract from
the business of the different trades en-
gagged in preparing building material by |

LITTLE HAS been heard of the negro
State of Oklahoma" Of late, but few
misguided colored men met at Guthrie
on April and issued proclamation to
their brothers elsewhere to come to the
number Of 100, 900 and "embracc this,
your last opportunity to secure lands for
yourselves and families" Mans inhu.
manity to man is proverbial but it is
particularly cruel for the destitute colored
men now in Oklahoma to invite hopes in
those fairly well off elsewhere that can
never be realized, or to seek to make
thousands of their race as destitute as
they are themselves.

IT is an odd report which comes
from DR.. Paine, of the Wcstborough
(Mass.) Hospital, concerning the bcnef-
cent effects of the grip in curing insane
patients of their insanity. Six patients
have been cured by that disease. In
most nervous diseases the chief thing
needed appears to be the complete de-
tachment of the patients mind from the
subject of nerves. So one mans poison
proves anothcr's blessing.

Only q Picture.

We had long talk this morning with
one of our leading photographers. He
had handful of instructions from
wholesalers of albumen paper, nitrate
of silver aud other chemicals used in
the making and finishing of photo
graphs.
"What sort of a skin bill is this Bill
Mckinley, anyhow? Look at this and
he thrust one of the letters under our
nose. "Albumen paper first choice,
which used to cost me $33 per ream,
now, by that high kicker Mckinley bill
is increased to $44. Only $11 increase,
that's all. And nitrate of silver, which
is one of the principal chemicals used
by photographers, shoots up from $500
to $3.50. Nice pleasant jump, isn't it.
I'll go out of the business. With these
increased burdens, we will have to ad-
vance our prices on pictures at least
Que third, and not make cent more,
profit, and loose great deal of trade
on account Of the advance" n saa

comes from Dresden, and to make suit

ed to use it, And it's not only In the

but owing to the advance of nitrate of

Besides this there is small advance in

A Boys Essay on Girls.

Girls is great on making bleeve. She
will make bleeve dol Is a live baby.
She will make bleeve she Is awful
sweet on another girl or feller, If they
come to see her, and when they are
gone she will say, shorrid old thing!"
Girls is olways foOling feller. She
can't lick yer, so she gets the best of
yer that way.
flyer don't do what girl tells yer,
she says yer horrid.s / drather be hor-
rid than be soft. Ifyou do what girl
tells you, you will do all sorts of foolish
things.
If girl wants feller to carry her
books home, she amt satisfied unless
she gets the same feller the other girls
want, whether she likes him or not.
! Girls can be good in school
every day If they feel like it. I shud
think they would get tired and have to
do sumthing wonce In while; I know
a feller does. Girls say fellers act or
full, but when girl gifts a-going it she
acts orf1er than any feller burst. They
don't care fur nothing.
Girls is CRATE on having secrets. i
mean telling secrets. They makea se-
cret out Of nuthing at all, and then tell
it around to all the other girls, orful
quiet, just as If it was something dred-
full. eas
Girls always git their joggerfy lesson
better than feller, but if they are GO
ing anywhere they are sure to get lost.
s.aIftwo fellers has a fite, the girls all
go fer the feller that licks, no matter
whether he is good for anything else or
not. ,l1,yIl ss( at.'lE
Ifa girl don't feel. like doing any
thing, you can't make her, no matter
whether she had orter or not. If she
won't, she won't, and she will get out
of it somehow. That is all I kno about
girls this time. a5 s

The Mckinley high tariff bills adj

shoes, cutlery, guns, axes, ammunition,
and many other things too numer-
GUS to mention. The coal miners
at Irwin station, on the Pennsylvania
railroad, are on strike for higher
wages They will need higher wages
this winter more than for many winters
past. The Mckinley bill socks the
tariff tax onto them In merciless style.
If a high tariff means high wages, as Re-
publicans claim, then the wages of these
Irwin miners ought to be increased to
keep pace with the increase in the tariff
made by the Mckinley bill. But the
coal companies that employ these
miners instead Of increasing their wages
are importing Hungarians, Italians,

sion Of this Congress, and then the Dem
ocrats will be unable to repeal it,even
though they should have majority in
the next House. The Republican ma
Sority in the Senate guarantees the laws

This statement Of this Republican lead
er shows the great necessity for the .peo-
pie to arouse and rise up in their might
to throttle the Force bill at the polls in

gpirators such mighty rebuke that
they will not dare to pass tho infamous
