HAPPINESS IN a WOODEN SHOE.

A Chicago Elevator Mans Scheme to Pre-
vent His Toes Being Hurt.
Several of the boys and men who run
passenger elevators in various office
buildings in the city have lately been
noticed wearing big wooden shoe on
ore of their feet while on duty, says the
Chicago Tribune.
els that the badge of the order of
elevator conductors?" one of the boys
was asked.
''IIardly-cant you guess what
wear that relic of old Dutch days for?"
1T might be to kick the people who
swear at you for taking them beyond
their floor"
''But it isn't-so guess again"
''Give it up!''
''Nell, sir, few of the brighter ele-
vator operators in Chicago have come
to the conclusion that they've had their
feet, and particularly their toes,
tramped upon and in many instances
broken, just as frequently as is agree
able. Indeed, the point of comfort and
endurance was passed some time ago.
Lately one of US hit on the idea OF wear
ing u big wooden shoe on the foot
nearest the door, which is the one that
always gets stepped or. 1t works like
n charm. No other shoe that's made
could possibly give us the necessary
protection. People may step on that
and fall over and onto it us often as
they please, and where we used to grind
orr teeth in pain we now smile and
keep comfortable It's not generally
known, but FROM two to ten elevator
luen in this city have Il toe or two
broken and man.elad every day by peo-
pie tramping on them. But our millen-
mum has come i'll the BIZ wooden sIlns. >

Homestead Mills Not Doing Much.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Sept Eighteen
worlzmen from Philadelphia arrived at
Homestead this morning and were put
at work in the mills. Under cover OF
darkness last night Il large number OF
Hnngarians held Il meeting on the
river bank near the mill yard. They
were addressed by representatives of
the Carnegie Steel company and it is
said they voted to return to work by
! the end Of next week. 1t is generally
considered by friends of the strikers
that the efforts being made by the firm
to induce this class of men to return
to work is an indication of weaken
ing on the part of the company. There
is not nearly so much work being done
In the mills to-day, and the officials OF
the company refuse to talk to report
ers on the situation or give reason
for the evident inactivity.

Egan, minister to Chile, who has been visiting
a few days in the city. the guest OF ex-President
Fitzgerald of the Irish National League of
America. Three hundred guests were present.
Mr.. Egan, in responding to a toast, spoke at
some length about his experiences In Chile, re.
lating numerous incidents in which he was
concerned. He endeavored at all times, he said,
to protect the rights and property of American
citizens. He spoke of one case in the city OF
Conception where an American Is half owner of
the electric light plant The intendente of the
city was giving a dinner one night when the
lights suddenly went out, as electric lights will
occasionally do. The inteDdente Immediately
ordered every body connected with the electric
light company put in irons. The American
citizen was dragged out of bed at half past 10 at
night and kept i'll prison until alter midnight,
when the intendente had him released. Egan
exacted for this man from the Balmaceda gov
ernment lette. OF apology and money COM
pensation OF 5000.
Speaking of the Baltimore trouble, Egg an said
that ten days after tho affair, no explanation
having been offered, he was instructed by tele.
graph to address a note to the Chilean govern
ment. He did so in the precise words OF the in
structions. and Immediately was mercilessly
assailed by section of the American press.
The charge was made that the language was
vulgar, violent and undiplomatic and showed a
personal desire on his part to plunge the two
countries into waT 1.-The fact is said Egan,

words followed, was written by the hand of

people last night when Mr. and Mrs. Ballington

sion, numbering 5000 men, women and chill
dren. escorting Commander Booths carriage,

address of welcome, read statistics to show the
work the Army had done, and said the day was
coming when the American people would recog-
nize the work of the Salvation Army.
Commander Booth read a number of letters,
among them one from President Harrison, who
expressed thanks for sympathy rendered him in
his sorrow, and said he was very liberal in his
judgment OF methods, and thought it we'll that
not all those endeavoring to subdue the fort
resses OF vice approached them upon the same
lines. To all whose sincerity and unseliishness
are approved by devotion and results he could
give hearty good wishes. and cheerfully ex-
tended them to Commander Booth and his asso-
ciates.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN KANSAS.
Full Enfranchisement Close at Hand
Mrs. Leases Candidacy.

TOPEKA, Kan. Nov. 22-One important re-
suit OF the recent election, which has hitherto
escaped general attention, will be the extension
of woman suffrage. Kansas women can now
vote for municipal and county officers. The
platforms of both the Republican and Peoples
party pledge extension OF woman suffrage TO all
state officials and there is no doubt this will be
accomplished at the coming session Of the legis-
lature.
Mrs Lease said today that she would accept
the United states senatorship Il offered her, but
would no, engage in q scramble for the place
A peculiar fact connected with the affair. said
She is that she has received hundreds OF letters
OF encouragement from men since the an-
nouncemeus of her candidacy. but only one
from woman. she was the only woman W no
had ever been mentioned in connection with a
place OF this kind. and she naturally expected
some announcement from her sex letter
from Miss Anthony, FOR example. Sicgl
handed and alone she has done more for woman
suffrage than al of them. But they have not
sal q word.

THE NATIONAL GRANGE,
Peoples Party Remedies Approved,

CONCORD, n II, Eoy.f2-At yesterdays ses.
sion OF the National Grange the executive COM
mittee in its report stated that American agri-
culture will be given prominence at the Worlds
fair worthy of its importance, and urged the
farmers to unite with other associations in
making the exposition worthy of our country
and people.
The committee attempted to secure loans for
farmers on mortgages from New England, New
York, Pennsylvania and European agencies at
per cent, but failed.
The report alludes in glowing terms to Secre-
tary Rusk's assistance in extending the farmers
foreign trade in meal, corn and other products;
asks increased appropriations to extend the
weather service still further among the farmers,
and makes other recommendations 1t reviews
the depressed condition of agriculture. and says
decrease OF 50 per cent in the value of farm
lands aud products in twenty-five years de-
mands the careful consideration OF the country
Farmers should stand shoulder to shoulder
in seeking relief. If the farmers prod
ucts are reduced In price he should
demand an equal reduction in the
price of what he buys, or stop buying it
for while: create. as it were, a lockout in
trade. There must be an increase In circula-
ton. 1t matters not whether gold silver or
paper, more money is needed. Tho farmers
should organize mortgage banks and borrow
money from the government, charging the
government half the amount received. If the
farmer Is to be robbed of his earning he should
be supplied with an increase OF money. If the
grange could not do as much for agriculture as
the boards of trade do for commerce, then it
has failed in its object
resolution was adopted favoring the irnme-
ciate passage by congress of laws to prevent the
adulteration of all food products, that the
house pass the Paddock bill, and calling on each
state grange master to direct the attention of
his grange to this Hasttss. and use his best en-
deayors to secure Passage OF the Paddock bill.
resolution was also adopted asking the gov
ernment to see that American interests are pro-
tectcd in the Nicaragua canal.
At today's meeting MIR. Reardon protested
against statements in the lecturers report in
relation to Kansas. He claimed he could raise
wheat at q profit of 81 an acre if he received 81
cents a bushel for the wheat. He said farming
in Kansas paid: that Kansas farmers were pros.
porous, and the figures OF the national lecturer
were calculated to do injury. Dr. Clary said
Kentucky farmers were prospering, and that it
was not always we'll to cry calamity. Mr..
Working, OF Nebraska, spoke in support of the
lecturers report, and Worthy Master Being
strongly arraigned the lecturers report as cal.
culated to injure rather benefit agriculture.
Discussion OF the matter was not concluded
today.
