Tnc Democratic Mass Meeting.

4 mass meeting of the Democrats
If this county has been called ut the
Cont House on the second Monday of
MAY. The business of the meeting,
rs set forth in the call. will he to ap-
rciut delegate. to the State Conven-
tirr which meets ut Jackson in July
in nominate candidates for railroad
commissioner.
The LEADER wishes here to urge a
full attendance at this meeting, and
especially rf Alliance men, who con-
stitutc the bulk Of the Democratic
rarty of the county. While the State
convention is called ostensibly TO
nominate candidates for railroad COM
missioner. il is not altogether unlikely
that Il proposition will be made to
submit the question of who shall be
Mississippi's next L. $. Senators to Il
urinary election of the Democratic
VOTERS TO be held on the same day as
the general election, and it is still
more probable that there will be an
attempt made to pass resolutions
through that body committing the
Democratic party of the State to a
policy antagonistic to the demands of
the Alliance. 1t would be a fine
stroke Of tactics on the part of the
politicians who are fighting the Sub
Treasury plan, to accomplish snel n
thing, and they are too smart not to
see il.
If the State Convention could be
stocked with anti Sub-Treasury dele
gates and such resolution put
through. the old party lash would
then be hauled out by the political
ring masters and piled with genuine
ghoulsll glec to every Sub-Treasury
advocate in the State who dared
thereafter to raise his voice in favor of
the Alliance platform, and he would
be incontincntly silenced or read out
of the party rs "a traitor to Democrat
ic principles"
Forewarned is fOrearmed. Let
none be sent rs delegates to Jackson
who alc not true and tried Alliance
men, OF if they are, let them be so in
structed as to represent the wishes of
majority of the mass meeting on the
sIhipctS mentioned.

An interesting letter by Major Ses-
siOns on the work of the Railroad
Commission will be found i'll today's
paper. The showing is good one
for the Commission, and it is no I'M
just disparagement to other members
of the board, to say that this excellent
showing is more due to the eflicien =
cy, fidelity and zeal of Major Sessions
than to any one else. If these quail
tiles count for anything he has fairly
earned a reelection, and the LEADER
believes the people will decide ac-
cordingly.

u. S. Senators.

There is strong desire manifested
in some parts of the State for the peO-
pie to vote their choice for the United
States Senators at the primary, which
expression would be a guide to the
members of the next Legislature.
Without having studied the question
closely, we are inclined to believe this
would be a good plan. Representa-
tives in the Legislature are presumed
to and should represent the wishes OF
the people, regardless of their person
III preference, and when an expression
had been given by ballot they could
not do otherwise than to support the
candidate for United States Senator
who was shown to be the choice of
their counties. Let every candidate
aspiring to be a Senator submit his
name, and the two receiving the high
est number of votes be declared as
instructed for and be elected by the
Legislature. This would eliminate
all and every issue that might arise in
the counties save the one as to who is
the cLoice for SenatOr.-Copiah Signal.

Yes, and because "Old Senator

"All right All right p from the front
row. 'Trust it is, then"
At this point the sermon of the evening
was begun. 1t was entitled, ''The Opening
of the Beautiful Gate of Divine Healing" !"
| The previous exercises had been largely of
an explanatory and preliminary character.
and it was not until now that the real
eloquence and power of the man became
evident.
THE PREACHER WAKES ELOQUENT
Briefly, but in most earnest and thrill
ingly realistic manner, he sketched the life
of Christ and described the scenes at the
crucifSion, coming down to the work and
the ministry of John and the other apostles,
and the healing of the lame man at the
gate of the Temple. He invoked the
Divine blessing on the meetings to be held,
saying: 'tsMay the progress of this work
not be hindered by misunderstanding or
Misrepresentation and may many afflicted
ones be healed
In the course of his remarks, he said:
''Sanctification is not merely the sanctitica-
tion of the spirit only, but the sanctifcation
and publication of the soul and body
also. Next to the salvation of the
immortal soul is the salvation of the body,
the temple of the Holy Ghost. 1 bless God
that am privileged to once more open the
beautiful gate through which 1 entered 70
years ago."
In speaking of the apostles and their
work he said: 81 speak of them as unlet-
tered, but they were certainly not untu-
tored, as l have heard them called, for
were they not for three years under
the direct tutelage of Him in whom
was centered the knowledge and wisdom of
the universe? They belong to the college
of Christ, and the spirit was poured out
upon them. They appeared as superior
and exalted men,"
Then was related the story of the restor-
ing to the cripple for 40 years the power to
walk, and the audience was held spell
bound while the preacher acted in turn the
part of the apostle, the cripple, the cruel
high-priest, and the cripple at last restored.
CLAIMS CHRISTIANITY IS FAILING.
To-day Christianity is failing, concluded
the speaker, 'and why? Because the gos-
pei of j esus Christ is not being preached.
Nineteen centuries of Christianity! And
where are we? Fourteen hundred and fifty
are heathens. Why is this? ] will tell
you. When God said, preach the gospel,
heal the sick, the apostles did this, but the
better part of that injunction has been dis
regarded. Salvation of the soul and the
healing of the body go hand in hand. The
devil only wants the bodies of men disease
stricken and polluted. Disease is the con-
sequence of sin, and is from the devil, con-
sequently it is the enemy of God"
The boy spoken of as having been healed
was found and proved to be fat and hearty
looking colored lad, about II years old.
His name is Harry Ormes from Mahoning
county, Ohio, but at present living with his
brother on Wylie, avenue. He seemed to
be all right, with the exception of his voice,
which was almost inaudible. He said that
Mr. Dowie had treated him about month
ago, and that he had improved afterward
and was now getting well rapidly.
Dowie will draw the distinction between the
soul and the spirit

FATHER MATHEWS LIFE
Taken on the Anniversary of His Birth ms a
Subject for a Lecture-Father Canevin
on Ireland's Temperance Apostle-Ef-
forts of His Work.

forts of His Work.
Rev. ]. F. Regis Canevin lectured at St.
Marv's Church last evening on ''The Life
of Father Mathew" under the auspices of
the St. Mary of Mercy's Ladies Total Alb
stinence Society. "Side by side" said the
lecturer, son the pages of Irish history
there appear two names which would give
luster and renown to the most glorious roll
of honor that any nation can present Dam
iel O'Connell, the liberator of his country
men from religious and civil bondage, and
Theobald Mathew, the moral regenerator of
his race.
''Theobold Mathew was born at Thomas
town, Tipperary, October 10, 1880 His
parents were persons of means, and gave him
q good education in his youth He entered
Maynorth University, but finally forsook
the honors of the world and assumed the
humble garb of Franciscan frar. He
was ordained priest in 1914, and began mis-
sionary work in the lowest quarters of
Cork At that time Unitarian clergy
man, a Quaker, Francis Martin, was
endeavoring to organize a total alb
stinence society in Cork. then a
prey of intemperance, and they got Father
Mathew to join them. They inaugurated a
great temperance mission, and induced
many to take the pledge, in the words,
since famous: Here goes, in the name of
God In eight months 200, 900 of Ireland's
sons and daughters had taken his pledge
''His coming to preach temperance in the
various towns in ireland occasioned en-
thusiasm, and in Limerick 150,0 900 people
took the pledge in two DAYS. A number of
priests and students of Maynorth College
inscribed their names on the roll.
'The famine of 1S46-7 caused Father
Mathew to close his mission, to devote
himself to the sick, starving and dying of
his native land. He landed in 1880 on our
shores, and was received with great honors
everywhere, besides being the guest of
President Buchanan. He established total
abstinence societies everywhere, and the
blessings of temperance followed in his
footsteps.
when the Temperance movement in
ireland was at its height, the prisons and
workh5rses of Ireland were almost empty.
If to day the pestilence of intemperancc is
less violent among the Irish at home and
abroad, it is due to the heroic life of Father
Mathew. 1t would be well for the Irish in
America to profit by the great lesson of
truth and morality this anniversary brings
to u.s. 1t cannot be denied that intemper-
ance is national vice. No calling, trade
or profession is free from it. Its victims
can be numbered by the thousand Its
scvthe is still deep in the harvest; and is
not reaping from the fields of poverty and
ignorance alone, but the clearest mind and
the strongest head and the purest heart is
daily falling victim to the dlead de-
StrOYer'

LESS WAGES THAN HoD CARRIERS.

Printers Prepare an Interesting Schedule
for the Public.
The striking job printers held meeting
yesterday and received very encouraging
reports regarding the condition of the strike
1t was reported that 81 firms have signed
the scale, and the men think there can now
be no doubt about their success A
statement has been prepared for
the public and will be distributed
to-day, setting forth their position in the
present difficulty; their reason for making
the present demands; list of the firms that
have conceded nine hours, and compare
tive statement showing that the printers
is the only craft of IS now working ten
hours. All the others have had their
hours of labor reduced from ten to nine
since 1886, and have also had their wages
increased
For instance, the timers worked in 1886
10 hours for 81 so a day; now they receive
81 30 for hours work Marble polishers
are in the same class. The hod carriers got
S2 25 for 10 hours work in 1886. while they
receive 81 IS now for hours The printers
have had no reduction in hours, neither
have they had an ivcrease in pay since 1886.
Their wages amount to 50 g., o. cents
day less than hod carriers wages, while the
skill of the men is not to be compared.

THE THEATER FIGHT ON AGAIN.
Protest to Be Entered Before the Central
Trades Council-A Scale That Is Con-
sidered No Scale at All-what Others
Provide

Protest to Be Entered Before the Central
Trades Council-A Scale That Is Con-
sidered No Scale at All-what Others
Provide.
The theatrical fight has broke out again.
1t is said the matter is to be referred to the
Central Trades Council, with a protest
against the scale at the Alvin Theater,
which is considerably unlike the one signed
bv the other managers.
A meeting was held yesterday by the
Knight of Labor attaches, and the matter
was discussed Another will be held to-
night, when action is to be taken on the
matter.
Copies of both scales were seen yesterday
for the first time by reporter. The scale
MI Davis refused to sign is an exact copy
of the one he did sign, so far as salaries are
concerned, with the exception of the stage
hands. The scale he signed includes clauses
providing that all employees in the house
shall be members of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, and that they shall be gov
erned by the rules of the house. This is
the point upon which the knights of Labor
are basing their objections and protests.
They claim that there might as we'll be no
scale ut all, as one allowing the house to
make such rules as suited the manager
alone; but that in their eagerness to get the
house into the Federation the officials of
that organization allowed Mr.. Davis to put
in whatever he pleased.
The scales signed by David Henderson,
R. NJ. Gulick & Co. and E. D. Wilt specify
particularly how many men the regular
force shall consist of, what extra help shall
be employed, and that all regular help shall
l. fo tl,a 10
for time -and-half-time for Sunday work, not
including regular employees; that all extra
work shall be paid for at the rate of 80
cents an hour; that all employees shall con-
fine their work strictly to their own de-
partment; the carpenter shall keep the
stage scenery and rigging in good repair,
but altering or repairing scenery of travel
ing companies shall be charged as extra
work at the rate of So day. The duties of
gas men and repair men are specified. Stage
hands work is scheduled to commence 20
minutes before the curtain rises and end
when the last scene is Struck" to consist
of the setting and striking" of the scenes
used in the play at the time. Carrying
scenery in or out of the the ater and such
work is specified as ''extra."
The clauses that caused the principal
trouble are one relating to the stage hands
work, and another providing that members
of Local Assembly No. 10.604, knights of
working at the theater The knights
of Labor people hold the scales signed by
Harry Williams, Harris, Britton & Dean,
Harry Davis, and Edward Keenan,, and
similar specifications are included in them.
Another exciting feature about the fight is
said to be on the way, and will be brought
out in day or two.

SMOTHERED In SMOKE.
Fatal Fire in a Penn Avenue Polish
Tenement Last Night.
ONE MANS GREAT LEAP FOR LIFE.
Miss Patton Forced to Resign From the
Allegheny General Hospital.
SNAP SHOTS AT DOINGS ABOUT THE CITY

John Krowlsky, pole, perished in fire
at No. 1712 Penn avenue last night. An
drew Jaw onsky was badly injured. The
house was three-story brick, occupied by
Joseph Slovenisky. He ran a grocery store
on the ground floor and rented the upper
stories to several families of his country
men.
The fire broke out about $50 o'clock
and an alarm was at once turned in.
1t was discovered in the rear of the
grocery store, but how it originated is not
floors knew of their danger the
stairway was ablaze and escape
was cut off. A barrel of oil near the foot of
the stairs soon sent the flames shooting up
to the top floor. When the firemen ar
rived the terror-stricken boarders were hud-
died together at the front windows. A
ladder was raised, but before any,
body could be taken down Andrew Ja-
wonsky, 1S years old, jumped from the
third story window. He was picked up
unconscious and taken to the Homeopathic
Hospital Though burned about the face
and injured slightly internally his condi-
tlon is not serious.
The others were soon gotten safely down
the ladder, and it was supposed everybody
was out of the building. But after the fire
was out the body of John Krowlsky was
found near the stairs. He was badly
burned, but is supposed to have been suffo-
Gated in a vain effort to get down the stairs
before the fire reached him. He was 20
years of age, and lived with his mother and
three brothers and sisters on the third
floor. The body was removed to the morgue
and the Coroner will hold an inquest to-
day.
The damage to the house was about 81 900.
The effects of the boarders were not valu-
able, and many were saved. The house of
Thomas Finnucan, adjoining the burned
house, was considerably damaged by water.
The property belongs to Mr.. Schmit
