wnOiiy OF western men, YET time Will snow
that its action will be binding upon every
branch Of the alliance"
We say fiddle stcksi'' to the above
curious paragraph. The Alliance sent no
delegate to that convention and had no rep,
resentaiives there whatever. How can il
be bound by il? The conference represented
just the persons who composed it and no one
else. Members of the Alliance belong TO all
parties and vote for whom they please, and
the Alliance can have no say in the matter
This seems to be puzzler for Mr.. Steel,
and his positive assertions of "facts" that
have no existence are amusing. He con-
tinues:
"The fact that this third party movement
was conceived, engineered and will be
ultimately carried to successful compile
tion by the western branch of the alliance
in opposition TO the wish of the southern
branch proves conclusively that was cor
rect when said that the alliance is run by
the western farmers"
As these ''facts' of Mr.. Steel are not facts
they don't prove anything. The western
and southern alliance are one and the same
Organization pay their dues into the same
treasury. receive charters and laws from the
same official source and there is no clash
between them for there exists no "between. ,,
All are one and the same organization 70,
forty States. Following Mr.. Steel through
his may round is like following blind
man and becomes very monotonoHs. 1t il
the easiest thing possible TO make assertion:
unsupported by single fact, or attampt al
argument, which is Mr.. Steeps method
iwhile it requires much more space 10 poinl

lively easy thing TO produce a suit Of

the truth. Since the world began
there were never two noses exactly

The successful clothier constantly has
his fingers on the pulse of popular
taste. 1t is his business TO discover in
what direction the tide OF popular
preference is flowing. Then and then
only can he hope to be in position 10

Deserves q Medal.

New York City was the scene of a
little street drama lately which the S2I7a
thus describes A cart was delivering
load of COAL The willing horse tried
his best to back the vehicle to the de-
sired spot, but even his great strength
was not equal to the task.
Then the driver began to beat the
animal, and this quickly collected a
crowd. He was big fellow, with a
fierce look in his eyes, and the by
ISLANDERS were chary about interfering,
knowing what would follow.
II pity the horse, but don't want to
get into row." remarked one.
"I'm not in the least afraid to tackle
him, put in young man with a long
neck. "but about the time / get him
down along will come policeman and
arrest US both"
The driver was beating the horse and
nothing was being done about it, when
little girl about s years old ap-
preached and said:
please, mister"
well, what yer want?"
"If you'll only stop I'll get all the
children around here and we'll carry
every bit of the coal to the manhole
and let you rest while while were doing
it."
The man looked around in defiant
way, but. meeting with only pleasant
looks, he began to give in. and after a
moment he smiled and said:
"Mebbe he didn't deserve it, but I'm
out of sorts to-day. There goes the
whip, and perhaps lift on the wheels
will help him."
The crowd swarmed around the cart,
many hands helped to push, and the old
horse had the cart to the spot with one
effort.

Germans, and Irish, the two former
acting as miners and the latter as coke
workers. Previous to that date, for
several years, a great depression
had existed in the industry on &C
count of slack times in the iron trade,
and consequent limited demand for the
product In 1879 the business took O.
decided "boom," however, The oven ca
pacity was doubled and workmen were
i'm great demand. The contiguous coun-
ties we're unable to supply laborers, and
the Pittsburg employment agencies were
resored to by the mine-owners. This
led to the introduction of large numbers
Of Hungarians and Poles. Popular
error has accredited these men with dis
placing English speaking workmen,
which is not the fact-they simply aug
mented the working force and filled
demand, rapidly acquiring American
ways The prosperity OF the plants
naturally extended to the men, and led
to a Capitalization of principles. Affairs
proceeded smoothly until 881, when the
knights of Labor advocated and aided
the first general strike of the coke
workers for higher wages The strike
was unsuccessful, and, after six weeks
of idleness, work was resumed.
Capital and labor seemed to agree
on equitable terms during the
succeeding five years The depression
of 1884. however, had demoralizing eff
feet on the men. Over half the oven
were idle. and those in blast put in only
three Quarters time. It is claimed that
abuses chargeable to capital began to
appear; that the men were imposed
upon, and the result was a second strike.
| This time success crowned the efforts OF
| the workmen It's effect was bad, how
ever, for the tables turned and the upper
hand gained by the majority, the opera
| tors seemed to be marked as Victims for
retaliation. Trifing affairs were mag

Catarrh.

Catarrh is an Inflammation of the mu-
cous membrane. AS the membrane
lines every cavity of the body that has
an outlet, there may be as many diff
ferent forms of catarrh as there are
such cavities.
The closed cavities are lined, not with
mucous mem brane, but with one that
secretes a thinner fuid-serum-for
lubricating purposes, which is readily
absorbed after doing its normal work.
Still, the Serious membrane also may
be infamed, and its secretion alb
normally increased.
Thus we may have pericarditis, with
its water" around the heart, from in
fammation of the membrane that lines
the heart-bag, or pericardium; pleuri-
sy, with its fluid crowding against the
lungs, and sometimes causing their
complete collapse, from Inflammation
of tie membrane that lines the chest !;

KING BIRDS IN BATTLE.
A Lycoming Man Makes Novel Capture
While Trout Fishing.


The trout-fshing season is only a
few days old, and yet G. A. Sheets, of
Quigelville, has had an experience that
a whole summer does not often devel-
op. One morning Mr.. Sheets rugged
himself out for days sport and started
for one of the babbling brooks that the
trout delight to haunt. While passing
Coal Mountain in the vicinity of Cogan
Station, his attention was attracted by
a commotion some distance ahead. AS
he drew near he observed two immense
birds engaged in a combat So intent
were the combatants with the battle
they apparently paid no attention to
Mr.. Sheets, who was thus enabled to
draw quite near.
Prompted by curiosity at the strange
battle, the spectator hid behind tree
and looked on with amazement. He
soon realized that the scene was I'M
usual as we'll as novel, for one of the
birds was an immense golden eagle.
while the other was large hawk. 1t
was battle for life or death, and.
while the hillsides re-echoed with the
screams of the birds, and the feathers

control himself, especially as the birds
topped around close to where he was
standing. He sprang from his place OF
concealment and laid hold of the eagle
which had it's talons so firmly imbeddcd
in the flesh of the hawk as to be IN
able to extricate itself He soon sue
ceeded in subduing the bird and max
ing it captive. In the mean time the
hawk died.
Mr.. Sheets succeeded in carrying
both birds home with him, and in the
presence of several of his neighbors
made an examination Of them. The
eagle was found to measure seven feet
one inch from tip to tip Of its wings
and two feet from head to tail. It's
talons were eight inches in length.
The hawk measured four feet four
inches from tip to tip of it's wings and
was correspondingly large.
The eagle was cared for and on
Saturday was reported to have fully
recovered from the effects of the fight
and gave indications of becoming quite
tame. It was ravenous and ate freely
of the food furnished by it's captor
Mr.. Sheets is very proud of the bird,
which is very rare in these parts

Razor Freaks.

The finest grades of razors are so
delicate that even the famous Damas-
Gus sword blades cannot equal them in
texture It is not generally known
that the grain of Swedish razor is so
sensitive that it's general direction is
changed after a short service When
you buy a fine razor the grain runs
from the upper end of the outer point
in diagonal direction toward the han
die. Constant strapping will twist the
steel until the grain appears to be
straight up and down. Subsequent
use will drag the grain outward from
the edge SO that after steady use for
several months the fiber of the steel
occupies position exactly the reverse
of that which it did on the day of pur-
chase. The process also affects the
temper of the blade, and when the
grain sets from the lower outer point
toward inc back, you have razor
which cannot be kept in condition,
even by the most conscientious bar
Der. But here's another curious freak
that will take place in the same tool !:
Leave the razor alone for a month, or
two, and when you take it up you will
find that the grain has assumed its
first position The operation can be-
peated until the steel is worn through
to the back. -MG21ufGct1trer'S Gazette.
