AGAINST wHlTELAw REID.

Kew York Printers Repudiate the Indorse-
ment of the Minneapolis Committee.
New YORK, June 2O.--Wild disorder
marked the meeting of Typographical
Union No. 6, Sunday, called to consider
the action of the union committee of
printers which at Minneapolis indorsed
the candidacy of Editor Whitelaw Reid,
of the Tribune, for vice-president of
the United States.
The committeeman, against over
whelming odds, stood their ground, and
declared that what they had done was
for the best interests of the union, and
that they did not regret it. They had ac-
complished what the union had been
striving for for years, and had made
the Tribune composing-room union
office. AS long-tried, upright union
printers, they said they were proud of
their work, and thought in the end all
the loyal members of the craft would
commend their course.
The meeting was declared adjourned
by the chairman, with a verbal report
made by the chairman of the Mime
apolis committee. The printers then
took possession of the hall, and started
a mass meeting. They finally passed
resolutions repudiating the committees
Endorsement of Mr.. Reid. An attempt
was also made to pass set of resolu-
tions attacking the committeeman, but
the chair refused to entertain them.

RoUND-sHoULDERED WOMEN.
Made So Because They DO Not Wear tn,
Right Kind of Collars.

Made So Because They DO Not Wear the
Right Kind of Collars.
A large proportion of the civilized
women in the world are round backed
and hump-shouldered. The reason is
that they wear no collars or if they
wear collar at all it is of some soft
material that does not keep the chin up.
1t is utterly impossible for the shoulders
to droop when the head is carried well
up and nothing will make man Keep
is head up like stiff, high collar with
sharp points that stick and hurt when
the chin is allowed to droop down on
chem. Half dozen years ago, when
the fashion in collars was very high be-
hind and low or turned back in front,
many, many men in the country were
round-shouldered. The stiff piece of
linen behind forced the head forward
and down and droop in the shoulders
was the result. There is no particular
fashion in collars now, nor has there
been for years but the prevailing taste
runs to a collar that stands straight up
all around, the points tapping under the
chiy.. This collar is higher in front
than behind, and the men who wear
them soon learn to throw their heads
back to prevent the high points in front
from chatting their chins. The result of
this is that the men of to-day are
straight-bacled, square-shouldered, fine
looking fellows his Commercial.

If one has never used clematis for
decorating she can have no idea of the
effectiveness of this flower and the
many ways in which it can be used. It.
can be arranged in large vase or bowl
if intended for the table or IN antcl, and
when thus used the flow ers should be
clustered together in loose masses, using
the green leaves as a background to
bring out the beauty of the bloom.
Large branches are very effective
massed upon platter filed with wet
sand, with some sprays falling over the
edge. This is especially pretty in u
window corner, on little table, or on
the window sill, if it be broad. The
white clematis is much handsomer for
house decoration because it is more
easily brought into harmony with its
surroundings than the purple. 1t is
much less hardy than the purple, and
for verandas it is better to have the two
varieties with the white on the best
protected side.-Demorest.

HISTORY OF THE YARDsTIcK
An Arbitrary Standard Adopted by En-
Hland and the Initel Stntns.

An Arbitrary Standard Adopted by En-
gland and the United states.
''Do you know anything about the
history of the yardstick?" said gentle
man in the City hall recently. The
speaker and his companion were in
specting the beautiful old building and
had paused in the inner corridor before
the standards of length which are cut
into the stonework.
They are inscribed federal stand
ard" English standard" and "Amster-
dam standard. The two latter are
given, but the federal standard measure
is left blank, none having been adopted
at the time the old City hall was erected.
The person addres sed admitted that
he knew nothing whatever about the
standard and that he would be pleased
to be enlightened upon the subject.
''Itreally is ridiculous, remarked the
first speaker eve are using to-day as
u standard of measure an inaccurate
copy of what is represented to be the
length of the arm of King Henry L.,
taken by his express order in 112O.
''The original measure was kept at
the EXchequcr in London for many CEN
turies. 1t was examined by royal com
missioner in 1742, who in his report of
it, said: "A kitchen poker filed at both
ends would make as good standard
1t has been broken and then repaired
so clumsily that the joint is nearly as
loose as a pair of tongs.'
For the uses of the British govern
ment an accurate copy of this arbitrary,
clumsy, broken standard was prepared
III 1860, and this copy, by act of parlia-
ment in 1924, was made the legal meas
ure. At the same time it was ordered
that if destroyed it should be restored
by comparison with the length of the
pendulum vibrating seconds at the lat
itude of London.
''In 1885 the copy was destroyed by
the great fire at the parliament house.
Attempts were then made to find the
length by means of the pendulum as
already arranged, but the methods were
found utterly impracticable and the
English government was compelled to
make use of such copies of the destroyed
yardstick as they supposed reliable.
The United States government was
no6 only unwise enough to adopt the
inconvenient and inconsistent English
measure, but sent special messengcs
abroad to secure a copy of the yardstick
for the use of the coast survey. The
copy secured was made by London ip-
strument maker, who certified to it's
correctness Strange to say, however,
the American standard is one one-thou-
sandth of an inch longer than the Brit
ish standard yardsticlS.
"of course" said the speaker in con-
clusion, Eve should have adopted the
metric system It's equal divisions are
consistent and simple and it commands
the respect and praise of scientific men
everywhere. IN. Y. World.

An Inviting Challenge.

In the hungarian parliament the
other day the secretary of state refused
TO give the name OF an officer who had
been punished for cruel treatment of
private soldier, alleging that publicity
would be double penalty. Upon this
member of the opposition rose and
said: 81 call that nameless officer a pig
and scoundrel, and now think he
will be anxious to give us his name."
Perhaps not. The unnamed offender is,
ex hypothesi, coward, and may prefer

ty.--London Globe.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1S.-The Inter

session here has not as body delved
INTO politics, but several of the mem
oers are prepared to make an assault
on the candidacy of Whitelaw Reid for

Tex, will lead the fight, and
he does not think that the
fact that William J. Brennan, of
the Big Six of New York, having been
chosen foreman of the Tribune compos-
ing-room should settle the grievances,
A Sioux City editor has written here
saying that the printers in that city
will vote against Reid, and, in fact,
that the whole body of printers
throughout Iowa would do likewise.
Similar communications have been re-
,ceived. 1t is claimed by many printers
that If Reid's name is not taken off the
ticket the republicans will certainly be
beaten in the November election.

CHICAGO, H., June 2O.-An important
conference of the anti-Cleveland lead
ers was held late Sunday night. The
desire is to have Senator German come
out as an open and avowed candidate.
This, it is claimed, he will do. If he
does it will very materially crystallize
the opposition to Cleveland Col. w. p.
Thompson, of New York, arrived Sun
day night and is active against Oleve-
Cleveland's vote at 5T3. This is most
sanguine estimate, probably seventy.

train burglars tried to break Jail by
prying off lock with stove poker.
Six of them succeeded in getting out,
and had they known it, could readily
have escaped, but instead of
going through the cellar door
they came upstairs into the

who hastily confronted them with u
pistol, driving the gang back into the
dungeon, where he was obliged to keep
watch over night. The commissioners
are in session and will attend at once
to making things secure. The prison
ers admit to being told by an outside
