A PUzzLING AFTERTHoUGHT.

Two years ago Chicago drummer stopped at Decatur, Ala., and while sit- ting on the broad hotel piazza talking with the proprietor of the hostelry noticed a fine fighting cock strutting about the street.
 Pretty fine bird," remarked the Chi cagoan sententiously.
 "Yep," replied the hotel keeper, "best in these parts, I reckon"
 "I'm something of a chicken fancier myself" continued the dl ummer.
 ESQ? Glad to know it, sah."
 "Tell you what Pll do-I'll play you a game of seven up for that rooster" said Chicago.
 Do it with pleasure, sah," replied his host.
 The cards were produced and the drum mer won. The rooster was turned over to him and was brought to the worlds fair city.
 A few days ago the Chicagoan again registered at the same hotel in Decatur. The proprietor immediately recognized him. ''Areu't you the same man lwho played me game of cards two years ago for a rooster p, he asked
 "Yes, sir" "Wall, Ive been thinking about you, sah, quite a powerful lot since that time. Do you know, sah, Ive never been able to remember what you staked against my rooster, sah on that occasion. That was the first real Yankee trick I ever exper- imented with, sah, and you will oblige me now by nominating the sort of poison you prefer. ."- Chicago MaI

that the troubles at the Homestead mill

that the troubles at the Homestead mill have invited widespread attention, and as a result congress proposes to investigate the trouble, as well as the employment of Pinkerton detectives?" "I am aware of the fact, sir. While nobody could regret the occurrences of the last few days more than myself, yet it is my duty as the ex- ecutive head of the Carnegie company to protect the interests of the association. We desire to, and will, protect our prop erty at all hazards. So far as congress sional investigation is concerned, can say with the utmost candor that we vel come the investigation proposed. We are prepared to submit facts and figures which will convince unprejudiced men of the equity of our position. More than this, believe that when all of the facts are known revelations will be made which will emphasize the justice of all our claims"
 "How do you regard the present trou- bles at Homestead from polite al stand point? What effect will it have as a tariff issue in the political campaign of the coming fall ?" "We have never given a thought as to what effect our affairs might have on either of the political par ties. We cannot afford to run our busi- ness and run politics at the same time. It would prove very unprofitable if we were to trim our sails to meet political | issues. At the same time may say that | it is not matter on which the protective tariff is involved, and every intelligent man, whether he be manufacturer or en- ploye, is aware of the fact. It is, how ever, question as to whether or not the proprietors or the workmen will manage the works. I did not propose to reduce the earnings of our employees below those of other amalgamated men in other mills. We have put in improved machinery which other mills do not possess; it in- creased our output and increased the earnings of our men. We asked that a reduction be made in these departments so that the earnings of our employees would be on par with other workmen in other amalgamated mills.. It is not a question of starvation wages, for you will please bear in mind the fact that the pro- posed equalization of earnings affects only about 325 men of our 3S0O, and they are the ones who earn the most money in our establishment. It has no effect upon the wages of more than 15,09O other employees engaged in our establishments at Du- quesne, Braddock, Pittsburg, Beaver Falls, and in the coke region"

Y An interesting question has arisen at Boston regarding the observance of iColumbns day. There is peculiar dis 2repancy between the two congressional acts relating to the celebration. The act of congress, April 9, 1890, named Oct 12 as the date for the dedication of the worlds exposition grounds at Chicago. The movementfor popular celebration of Columbus day to be held by the public schoola has received congressional rec ggnition, and the president has been au- tfforized to issue proclamation recon Inending the suitable observance by the public schools in all localities of the Tooth anniversary of America's discovery on October 21, which is the correct date of the Gregorian calendar now ill use. It was the plan of the originators of the rspuiar celebration that the Chicago dadication and the school exercises should hss simultaneously held, but unless the Chicago date Is corrected by congress to conform to the date of the popular ob. saTvance there will be two headed eel duration.

The Iron Age, the leading trade journal of the metal industry in this country, gives in it's last issue table of wages at Home- stead and an account of the beginning of the dispute there. The scale that has just run out was adopted in 1889 and was so much per hundl ed tons produced, the men being paid by what was done. After the scale went into effect the mills were practically refitted at a very large ex- pense, and the new machinery increased the working capacity of the men in the three department where the new scale is determined on as follows: Increase in the 32-inch mill, 21 per cent. in the 119- inch mill, g per cent. in the open-hearth that with the 4x4 billet at the same figure the men would in day have their wages increased at the rate cited. Thus they earned great deal more than if the im- provements had not been made. The Iron Age says the reductions involved depend mainly on the price of the steel billet. If that falls to $23 ton Git has sold at $37. 50 and at $22.28 in the past three years), then the wages go down with it. If the price goes up, up also goes the pay. Following is the pay of some of the men as it has been under the old scale on a $26.50 basis, and as it would be under the new scale, at the min- imum, on $23 basis. The figures rep resent days earnings:

GO7ae D10O- the person with bad blood who's not taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. You are bereft of judg- ment and good sense if you allow your blood to get out of order, your liver sluggish-life dull, everything blue, for you may soon find out that you're in the grave--or next to it
 because you did not procure the G. M. D. soon enough, and some dread disease, may be influenza or consumption, may be typhoid pr malarial fever, has taken you. Consumption is Lung Scrofula. Fcr Scrafula in its myriad forms, and for all Liver, Blood and Lung dis eases, the "Discovery" is an nn- equaled remedy. Everybody, now and then, feels " rundown 3" played out, ,''-with no power to generate vitality, in fact, just too sick to be well. That's where the right kind of medicine comes in, and the "Dis- covery" does for a dollar what the doctor wouldn't do for less than five or ten.
 We claim that nothing like it has ~ been discovered for blood-purifier. It's guaranteed by the makers. Your money is returned if it dosen't bene- fit or cure you.
