A GREAT CONFLICT.

The Amalgamated Association To Be
Fought-The Iron and steel Barons Pre-
pairing for Battle.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 21.-It was re-
ported Friday that the iron and steel
manufacturers of the United States will
make a general assault on the amalga-
mated association in the spring The
skilled workmen in all the union mills
belong to the amalgamated, and the an
nual wage scale for the entire United
States, is made in this city.
Some preliminary slIirmishes have
already occurred, and in every instance
the workmen were beaten. The most
recent occurred last week, when ex-
National Chairman b.. T. Jones sue
ceeded in reducing the wages and in
creasing the hours of 1900 workmen.
Park Bros, who own the Black Dia-
mond steel works, and William Clark S
Sons who operate the Solar iron works,
have successfully fought the Amalgam-
ated association for years, and are now
doing active proselyting.
The recent victories for the manu-
fscturers occurred at the Allegheny
Bessemer Steel works of Andrew
Carnegie, at Duquesne Station, the
Vesuvius Iron works, at Sharpsburg,
IF Moorhead Bros. The latter is now
completely non-union. This week the
Oliver g. Roberts Wire Co. secured a
reduction of twenty per cent
A few days ago the Baker Wire Co.,
of Joliet, Ill, dismissed it's workmen
who had organized a lodge of the Anal
gamated association. This mill is in
cluded in the syndicate of which Oliver
e. Roberts are members Some people
do not believe the war is coming. Their
sole argument is the iron barons al
legged fear of a conflict during the pres
idential year.
The board of directors of the Ameri.
can Tin Plate association in session il
this city has signed the Amalgamatec
wage scale. Neidrlnghuse, of St Louis
alone opposed it.

FOOTSTEPS.

Listen listen for tho footstep, as II comes

Making FOR mine ear music sweeter thnn the
roundo NV
OF the robin when the snow-mists fade from
wintors dreary face,
Or the sunshine Of the morning wakes my life
to newborn grace;
So listen for the coming OF the footsteps dear
to me-
Listen listen, listen listen till the dearer face
see,
Listen for step Of lover, listen now for stsT Of
child.
Listen for ths friendly neignovf, Nr the
mothers step mild;
For the fathers proud and manly; for the post
mans coming tread;
Shall l ever, ever listen for step fear or
dreadf
Now they bring me life and comfort now they
bring me Joy and love,
And 1 listen, listen, listen for the steps OF
those love.
Gould they know how oft, they'dhasten toward
the listening eur lend
To the footsteps on the pavement that unwel-
come measure send;
For we only find pleasure when we listen to
our own,
And the rest are only footsteps treading on un
yielding stone
But, our o,cH, ah light as feather touch they
some life. that doth start
Eagerly to listen, listen. with welcome In the

Smart Seals.

Several years ago there were two
seals in the geological garden at Am.
sterdam which were so fopi of their
keeper that they could recognize his
voice long way off and would run to
meet him. These seals also became
attached to an old gentleman and his
little granddaughter, who often went
to see them in company with a little
woolly dog and who always took the
seals something nice to eat These
animals were kept in large pond and
they would come out of the water on
seeing their friends and sit down with
the IN to have a good time on the
sand. The small dog was very lively
on these occasions, and he and the
seals would frolic together as though
they belonged to the same family and
shared the fruit and cakes from the
little girls basket. One day, however,
just in the midst of their fun the dog
fell into the pond, and after struggling
for a moment in the water he sank
The seals uttered cry of dismay as he
disappeared, and then, shutting to the
pond, they plunged in. In an instant
the larger one had seized the half
drowned dog, ard, carrying him ten
derly in his mouth, placed the drip
ping animal at his mistress feet

Jackets and Capes.

The modish cape of the season corre-
spends either with the hat, bonnet or
toque or with the gown with which it
is worn. Even the cape of fur is no eX-
ception. Either the gown worn with it
is trimmed with corresponding bands
of fur or it appears as part of the
garniture of the headgear. Just why
Dame Fashion has Disseminated in
favor of the jacket, which is worn indie
pendently, as it was last season, with
out reference to hat or frock, does not
appear. However, the fact remains,
and while the cape unrelated by re-
semblance to any other part of the cos
tune is still worn, it is not regarded as
strictly good form. A chic and elegant
cape with capote to match is worn. The
cape is of Russian blue vicune cloth
striped in gold yellow and bordered
with blue velvet the shade of the cloth.
On each side of the front is a broad band
of gold passementerie A bout the neck
of the cape is full ruffie of soft lace
which extends down the front forming
fichu and plastron. The capote is OF
blue velvet on which is appliqued gold
passementerie like that which orna-
ments the cape. About the edge of the
capote is ruche of blue black ostrich
feathers, and French heads of the same
shade with blue aigrette form the trim

An Englishman who, after grum-
bling about his native country for
more than half lifetime, at last made
up his mind to emigrate to New Zea-
land, was asked why he chose that far
away part of the world for a place of
residence.
"Why," said he, sit is because nature
has made much better arrangement
of the seasons there than it has here"
''What do you mean?"
"What do mean? Why, it's great
mistake of nature, as anyone must
see, to have the cold weather come in
the winter and hot weather in the
summer. How delicious it must be to
have it hot in December, now, which is
the cold, freezing season, and what a

Rice is a most valuable assistant to
the housexeeper who understands it's
possibilities, especially in the way of
simple and appetizing desserts. Yet in
many households rice cups or plain rice
pudding seems the alpha and omega of
rice compounds, A very nice dessert is
cream of rice, which is made as follows:
Rub two tablespoonsful of ground rice
smoothly into little cold milk, sweeten
pint of milk to taste, flavor with bit
vanilla, and stir over the fire till the
mixture thickeas. Pour it into a basin,
and when cool mix in a half pint of
whipped cream; put the mixture in a
mold, with cavity in the center. When
set, turn it out, and have ready some
stoned prunes stewed with little sugar
and water, or, to be very nice, in little
claret; pile these in the center, with a
trihe of whipped cream on the top.
This is q delicious dainty for the chill
dren, yet most simple and wholesome.
