this morning at the Hotel Denison. The
committee was composed of five repre-

the purpose of calling congress of all
the labor and industrial classes. II had
been decided previously to this gather

decide upon some other location. The

WRESTLING FOR WIND.
The Monotonoas Notes of tho Sailors
 supsrstitious Call.


 There is nothing so tedious. so az gravating to the sailor as a dead calm. Drift drift drift day after day the great burning sun overhead reflected by the waters until the eye becomes wearied with the eternal brightness The sailor goes about his work list lessly. Not SO the officer on deck. He paces the poop with a quiet nervous tread. ''whistling for a wind"
 He Is scanning tho horizon north. south. east and west carefully noting every little patch of clouds and whist ling with all of his soul for a wind This is one of the old old superstitions of the sailor. one of the beliefs which has been traced hither and thither but never to tho propitiatlon of the gods. It probably had its origin in the impatIence of the mariner who while his vessel lay drifting idly in the Zone of Calms," remembered with re- gret the hoarse moaning, shrieking and whistling of the winds in the more favored spots on the deep and involun- tarily tried to initiate it. And this supposition is strengthened by the character of tho whistling, for it must he remembered that the becalmed sailor does not whistle Annie Laurie or any of the popular songs of the day. The lonesome thrill of his monotonous whistle" is series oi polyglot sounds that would set a mag pie wild with envy. Ho does not aim at rhythm, but eiects his pulls of air in long and short notes. now high, now low, like the sounds produced by the. wind blowing through the ropes ol the rigging.

An expert might distinguish an honorable Miss from Lady Mary. daughter of hundred earles, and Lady Mary again from her grace by the simple process of measurement Tho face is not oval, it is merely elon- nted, and the chin is apt to be pointed.

ABOUT THE DEADLY COBRA.
A "Spitting Snake" That Throws Venom
 Into Its Enemy's Eyes.

A "Spitting Snake" That Throws Venom
 Into Its Enemy's Eyes.
 The African cobra is known as the "spitting snake,n on account of its power to throw it's venom quite dis tance into the eyes of its enemy It is lazy reptile, save when stirred to anger, when it cannot be eeualed for swiftness and accuracy in splitting or biting it's victim.
 The splitting is accomplished by ex- polling the breath sharply through tho mouth, so that the soapy venom flies straight as pea thrown from a pipe into the victims eyes.
 The cobra attains the length of six feet, andis large and powerful. It is doubly formidable from the fact that 1t can swim in the rivers very swiftly, and has no fear. In swimming the cobra moves along very rapidly, with its snout and beadv eyes just above the waters surface.
 When I Twas stationed with my regi- ment in Ceylon. I had experiences with the Indian breed of Cobra that were worry exciting" says Lieutenant Jephson.
 My servants rushed into tho bunga- low one morning begging me to save the life of a man who had been bitten by cobra. l hastened out on the veranda, to find croud of men and women bringing in man in the state of semi-unconsciousness. They show | ed me two deep red spots in his instep, where the serpent's fangs had been.
 Il felt of his legs. and found that they were already stone cold, although the man had been bitten but ten min- utes before.
 Drawing my knife from my pocket I opened the sharpest blade and pro- ceeded at once to cut deeply into the mans instep. around the bitten part, and cut the flesh away. Meanwhile had sent in for red hot poker.
 When the iron came 1 pressed lts glowing end forcibly against the wound soaring the flesh about the instep> Then l poured quart of whisky down the poor wretch's throat as rapidly as possible.
 He was so paralyzed from the effect l oi the swift poison that he suffered no 1 pain from the soaring of his flesh, but murmured only:
 Burn, Dory. burnl"
 1 Il watched him anxiously for half an hour, when he was able to open his eyes Then gave him more whisky, and found his pulse was much better. l Another hour found him able to rise, after which l had the servants exercise him as much as possible in order to counteract the deadly coma which con- stantly came on.
 i The next morning the man was 1 quite well, save for the deep wound in his instep. l am sorry to say that he was always lame afterward. for it seems that l had severed cord in his instep in my surgical attempt But he became a sort of pensioner in my bungalow. following me around as a i grateful dog would do.
 Il used to point to him with pride when my guests were present and say: I cured that man of a cobra's bite There Is a vine which grows in India called the Aristolochia Indica, which has cured many persons bitten by cobras, am informed. They say that they crush young leaf and ap- ply it to the wound as soon as possible after the bite is inflicted

On THE VERGE OF RUIN.
William G. Ross Suit Against the Gran
gers Bank,

William G. Ross Suit Against the Gran
gers Bank.
William G. Ross has sued Andrew Show
ers and the Changers Bank for an account
ing, setting forth in his complaint that the
bank is the owner of number of ware
houses in interior towns, of which he was
the lessee until January, 1889, when it
agreed to sell the warehouses to the firm of
w. q. Ross " Co. fer $4,000, payable in
seml-annual installments, Ross in the mean
time acting as agent Of the bank in execut-
ing mortgages with the neighboring farmers.
On the 10th OF December the bank in
formed Ross. who had invested no less than
$3.50, coo for the bank, from which large
profits were realiZ ed that the loans had as
snmed too large proportions by S42, 900, and
an accounting was demanded. Ross was
financially embarrassed at the time but, to
secure the bank against loss, he transferred
all his interest in the wareh1using business
to Showers. and also the bank, tile former
to carry on the business in conjunction with
him.
As Ross had believed the bank had acted
in good faith in the matter, he was not
little surprised when, contrary to its stipu-
lated agreement, it demanded the immediate
payment of 1900, exclusive of $4,000 due
on the warehouse purchase. But con tlnuing,
the complaint alleges that the bank has,
aside from the assigned business of the
plaintiff, ample collateral security In prop
erty amounting to S171.00O. to which it could
resort without injury to his business.
Showers Is utterly inexperienced in the
warehousing business, it is charged, and,
besides the damage resulting from his eff
cheney, he is hostile to the plaintiff ln-
tereSts.
The business has thus been brought to the
verge Of ruin, the bankers with whom
negotiation have formerly been had having
become distrustful of the firm. An offer is
made to pay in full the Indebtedness, and it
is PRAYED that an accounting be had to ascer-
tain the amount due. In the meantime it is
asked that the defendant be enjoined from
making any disposal of the plaintiffs
property

The Working Girls.

In an article contributed to Far and
Near, Lucy A. Warner asks why do people
look down on working girls?" and in the
course of her discussion of the subject,
writes as follows:
Is it because we work? What an absurd
idea! People look down" on us because
we work? Why, the lawyer and the doctor
and the clergyman and the professor and
the merchant all work, and work hard too.
and every one looks up TO them. "Ofcourse,"
says bright, young lady, 1--WE expect men
to work and support their families, but
ladies do not work" Don't they? We have
lazy artists and musicians. lady doctors.
lawyers and lecturers, trained nurses a1d
teachers. If it isn't work that they are
doing, what is it? But" says the same
that there is difference between brain
work and manual labOr? Yes. we have
discovered it, to our sorrow. The teacher
considers herself superior to the sewing
girl, and the sewing girl thinks herself
superior to the mill girl, and the mill girl
thinks the girl who does general housework
little beneath her, and Miss Flora Nc
FllmSy, who tolls not, neither does she
spin" thinks herself superior to them all.
Is one kind OF work more honorable than
another? Is any honest work Degrading
My friend, have you ever considered that
brain work" enters into every department
of manual labor? An intelligent girl will
do better work anywhere than an ignorant
one. Isn't 1t work of art to IL axe dress
1t Is Just as necessary that a cook should mix
her bread with brains" as 1t is that an art
ist should mix her colors with the same ma
terials.
Dear sister workers, we who work in
shop and store and factory, ana in countless
ZONES all over the United States, If it is be-
cause we work that people look down on us,
then let us pray that the Lord will change
their opinion, and go quietly about our bust

head stands the carpenter of Nazareth, by
