Conspiracy Laws in Enrlanl

A recent dispatch from London says
The Liberals scored another point with
the workingmen yesterday, on motion
of Mr.. Robertson, of Dundee. to amend
the law relating to criminal conspiracy.
The government secured the defeat of
the motion by majority of only thirty
six, and the defeat is almost as good for
Liberal purposes as victory. The mo-
tive for amending the law is the decision
Of the recorder Of Plymouth that a
strike for the purpose of compelling en-
ployers not to employ other persons is
Illegal, and renders all persons engaged
in it liable to prosecution as criminal
conspirators and subject to fine or inn
prisonment.
The complaint was brought by a coal
merchant who employed non-union men,
and whose union hands were called out
on that account. The union secretaries
were prosecuted and the recorder fined
them each eco. The recorders decision
is far reaching, and, until the law is
amended, makes all who strike or pro-
mote strike on account of non-union
hands being employed, guilty Of crime.
The workingmen are determined that the
law shall be amended, and Mr.. Robert
son, who represents workingmen's con-
stituency, has made the first move in
that direction, and got Lord Salisbury's
government again committed as opposed
to the working classes.

RISING SUM- CECIL COUNTY. MD. FRIDAY, MARCH 90

hereY what do you want Of minis
terr asked the young man who was hold
ing the lines, looking down at me pale
and scared like. oh, nothing, says l,
only I'd like to have him take notice of
a genuine example of divine justice. A
man to keep himself and wife from
starving turns in and helps keep some
hundreds of other families at the starv-
ing point, and this is what he gets for
it. One ought to be able to preach a
very edifying discourse from this topic
to full fed congregation.
"Then there went up shout, and one
man said, He's no chickenr and another
said, IF he is, he's game oner But the
young man didn't say anything. He
didn't laugh, either. don't know what
happened then, but the next knew was
in the car and the superintendent was
asking if anybody would drive it to the
stables. The conductor had skinned out
at the first volley, and the superintendent
didn't seem to fancy the job of driving
himself. Then the young man spoke up.
I think the drivers are right, he said.
AAC uACntC0 tnCL1 4lhO DIubSSy
but they had no right toinjure this man.
I'll drive this car for him until he gets
able to take his place, if it's month, If
you'll keep him on your rolls
s'Then the crowd cheered, and the su-
perintendent, seeing how the land lay,
said that was all right, took out his book,
and asked the fellows name. He said he
didn't want no pay-just send the money
to me. Then he told them to call off the
police and he'd drive the car to the
stables. So the police stepped back, and
he said to the women on the sidewalk
most Of 'em strikers wives-sC Come on,
ladies, and take ride at the company's
expense. I'm the first driver the COM
pany ever had who could treat his friends
to ride without fear of spotter.' -

Cheese PAIRING.

Cheese parings-are they worth hoard
ing? Certainly not, and yet thousands
find in them an interesting occupation.
1t is singular fact that there are many
persons who spend all their time in Pc
nuriously saving scraps, the accumu-
lated value of which is of no consequence
whatever, yet who will now and again
give away large sums of money. Some
even will regularly subscribe to charita-
BILE objects sums small percentage Of
which would alter all their human rela-
tions, and make number of fellow NOR
tails who come in contact with them
happy day by day. Which is the wiser
to endow Charity with a capital g,

at home?-New York Ledger.

Heavy Liabilities.

''Say, girls" said one of trio of young
ladies, 'let's go up on this Car. The walks
are very slippery"
"Oh, prefer the exercise of walking"
answered one of her companions.
"Well, l don't" said the remaining
one, a tall blonde, Tim going to ride"
With little parley the three boarded
the car. They conversed pleasantly un-
til near Pearl street When, as the con-
ductor approached foI heir fares, two of
the girls began neryously unbuttoning
their gloves.
Blanche, will you please pay my
fares' said one, turning to her neighbor.
81 can't. I have only ten cents. But"
said she, turning to the imperial blonde,
twill you pay for us?''
81 haven't a cent" sententiously re-
piled the blonde. And with burning
cheeks the young ladies signaled the con-
ductor and stepped silently but thought
fully from the car. Their liabilities ex-
ceeded their assets. ts.-Albany Argus.

KNOWS onlx ruo Tunes.

Speaking of music, here is true story
of well known and greatly esteemed
Boston journalist to round out with:
The journalist is so far from being a
musician that he is accused of being des-
titute OF the sense of tune. One time he
was rallied on this point by lady of his
acquaintance, whO asked him point

sis it true, Mr.. A, that you don't know
one tune from another

To Prevent Paint From Scaling.

To prevent the paint on iron or wood
from scaling off when exposed to the
weather, first thoroughly wash the parts
to be painted and then brush over the
surface with hot linseed oil. BY follow
ing this method, especially with iron
articles, no scaling of the paint will oc-
cur. In cases where the articles to be
painted are small and can be readily
heated, it, is better to heat them and
plunge them inte ts,sss4 oil. The thin
liquid oil when hot entsfs into the pores
of the metal, absorbs the moisture, and
the paint then applied SO firmly adheres.

PRAY FOR THE DEAD.

Obi pray, pray for the deadi
Kneel in thought where the withered grasses
Rustling sway DER once bright head;
Summer dies, and the dying flowers
Sigh, Remember your loved and deadlr
Fading, futtering, whirling, falling,
Leaves come down with sob Of pain,
Come to cover the dear ones lying
Under the cold November rain;
Cold as clay when the soul has fed:
Obi pray. pray for the deadi
Oil pray, pray for the deadi
Every second death is calling,
Dear ones fall like the autumn leaves;
Where's the grove that has lost no garlandf
Where's the home where no mourner grievesf
Grieves for those who, perhaps in anguish.
Barred from glory are doomed to roam,
voiceless, helpless. Oh, you loved theml
Beg our Father to call them home,
Home from suffering, darkness. dread;
Obi pray, pray for the dead
Obi pray. pray for the deadl
Pray for those whom the yawning pillows
Swallowed down in their fearful wrath,
Those who, scorched by the breath OF fever
Fell like grass in the mowers path;
Those who dropped by the way unnoticed,
Those who died in the battle's din;
All are loved by our Lord and holy
All must suffer who stoop to sin;
Plead for rest for each weary head,
Ohi pray, pray for the dead
Obi pray, pray for the deadi
Buried friends can we e'er forget you,
You who felt for our veal or woei
God be with you, our silent sleepers,
Lying under the turf so lowi
Useless, vain is our weak bewailing,
Vain are murmur and sob and tear;
What, oh, what can our grief avail you.
Lifeless dust that was once so dear?
Hark! sigh from each lowly bed:
Obi pray; pray for the deadi

a eRANoFA1AER 70 HIS WIFE.

When, In the first fair flush Of happy youth,
looked with loving eyes upon thy face,
It seemed to me there could find, in truth,
The perfect type Of beauty and Of grace
And as the bells rang out their gladsome chime
That day when we were wed, did not dream
That ever, with the mellowing Of time.
Could that sweet face of thine more lovely
seem.
Yet, as see thee now-thy crown Of white;
The glory of the motherhood; the lines
Upon thy brcw and cheek marks Of times fight
The R1any sweetnesses thy life combines
Methinks that in my youth my Judgment erred;
Despite thy beauty, seeming so benign.
This heart of mine has never been SO stirred
As By the ioEeliness that now is thine.

Frozen q. 900 Feet peep.

For many years scientists have been
perplexed over the phenomena of GER
tain well at Yakutsk, Siberia. AS long
ago as 1928 Russian merchant began to
sink this noted well, and, after working
on it for three years, gave it up as bad
job, having at that time sunk it to a
depth of 80 feet without getting through
the frozen ground. He communicated
these facts to the Russian Academy of
Science, which sent men to take charge
of the digging operations at the wonder
full WELL These scientific gentlemen
toiled away at their work for several
years, but abandoned it when depth of
8S2 feet had been reached, with the earth
still frozen as hard as a rock. In 1843
the academy had the temperature of the
soil at the sides of the well taken at
various depths. From the data thus OBJ
tanned they came to the startling con-
clusion that the ground was frozen to a
depth exceeding 5000 feet Although it
is known to meteorologists that the low
est known temperature is in that region
of Siberia, it is conceded that not even
that rigorous climate could force frost to
such a great depth below the surface.
After figuring on the subject for over a
quarter Of a century, geologists have at
last come to the conclusion that the great
frozen valley of the Lena River was de-
posted, frozen just as it is found to-day,
during the great grinding up era of the
glacial epoch.
