A dispatch from Chicago says: "Rev
t. G. Milsted, pastor of Unity church,
has for some time entertained the idea
of erecting bethel for the sailors who
frequent this port. This morning he
made the matter the subject of an ear
nestappeal to the members of his congre-
CATION. He dwelt at length upon the
great need of such an institution in Chi
cago, and said: we must do something
to save these men. They now have no
place to go except to the dives and sa-
looms. What wonder, then, that they are
so disreputable?
"'You're liarr yelled voice in the
back of the church. I'm sailor yelled
the owner of the voice, 'and we are not
disreputable. We do not want any
bethel home. What we want is more
wages and the toiler of the seas deliv-
cred to the congregation his personal
opinion of the pastor, which was neither
fattering nor couched in polite language.
All efforts to pacify him failed, and the
profane, argumentative son of Neptune
was hustled through the sacred portals
by an array of ushers. No attempt was
made to arrest him."

A Very Close Shave,

II believe l got into the closest place

Mulhatton of Michigan, now stopping
at the Laclede. 81 had been detailed
to obtain information regarding the
strength of detachment of Confederate
troops stationed on the Tennessee river,
near Decatur, Ala. l got the informa-
ton, and was working my way back to

sued by a scouting party. | had con-

Johnnies made the water around me
boil with their bullets.

crawled up on the log, only to discover
that it was already occupied by big
water moccasin, who was inclined to

peril Ihave been something of fatalist."

AT recent meeting of Altoona Pa.)
division of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers Grand Chief p. M. Ar
thur was visitor and the principal
speaker. He began his remarks by say
ing:
The misfortunes of organized labor of the
present day have in most cases been due to the
selection Of leaders. The Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Engineers has given the railroad
companies trustworthy, reliable men.
Many will agree with Mr.. Arthur's
opening sentence, but well informed
labor men will make an opposite appli-
cation of the words to that intended by
the chief. The modesty of Mr.. Arthur
is appalling to one who remembers that
the gentleman himself has for some
years represented all that the engineers
have "giyen the railroad companies"

Reminding Him of u Enct.

A few days ago an elderly gentleman
and his wife came down Broadway to-
gether. A lady crossing the street fell
down. The old gentleman rushed to her
assistance and helped her in every possi-
BILE way. When he returned to his wife
she shook her fist at him. ''It's all right;
it's all right" he whispered. Eyes,
know it's all right" she replied hotly.

hirelings of capitalism as only men fit

the other hand, the employers of the

violation of the laws of the land, are
left to go scot free, and are even lauded
by representatives of government and

railroad, building and every other thing
into which labor has gone belongs to the
laborer. The Post will hardly admit
this. The fact is that the Worlds fair
| is private enterprise so far us the re-
wards of its success are concerned. The
interest labor has in it is like the inter
est it has in state or county fair or a
museum controlled by private capital
lists or corporation, where money is in
vested to make money. OF course we
must admit that the residents of a COM
munity or country have a sentimental
pride in any extraordinary display, even
if they do have to pay to see it. But it
is arrant nonsense to say that the Column
bian exposition is "labors fair" because
it is to show in buildings constructed by
labor the results of 400 years of indus
try. If the laborer was the possessor of
all the wealth he has created the case
would be different; but when we look
to see his share in all this wonderful
progress our vision is blurred by the
sight of tenement and rags, tramps,
strikes and the bristling bayonets of the
militia.
The Kansas City Star says Mr.. Pow
derly is stupid for Advising workingmen
to keep out of the militia, and then goes
on to say:
The one hope of economic emancipation en-
joyed by the laborer who is really Oppressed is
in a thorough and everlasting comprehension
of the fact that this is q democratic govern
ment. If he holds the idea that the govern
ment is of and for the rich, a something of
which he is no part and of whose blessings he
is no possessor, the laboring man-the poor
man, for instance-is hopeless. And when he
believes his case a hopeless one the peasant of
Europe and he lock through the same blue
glasses.
1t depends, in great measure, upon
what The Star means by ''this govern
ment." 1t is generally understood that
the spirit of our institutions is demo-
cratic, but the form certainly is not

Again we turn to the columns of a
newspaper. The Chicago Post, discuss
ing the refusal of the Trades assembly
of that city to parade on the opening of
the Columbian exposition, says:
Labor is not hostile to the fair. And why?
Because 1t is labors fair. Every brick and
stone and timber In the structures in Jackson
park is monument to what labor has done to
illustrate its own performance in subduing a
continent and building nation. Who are the
laborersp The American people. This is a
nation of toilers. The drones are few and they
are not in high esteem. A few of them sit in
high places and clog the wheels of govern
ment with their excesses. But by far the
greater number are in the ranks of labor, i'm
peding with hands that know not toll the
noble, the heroic work which makes the Co
lumbar fair possible and gives to it a slgnif-
canoe. One hundred and nineteen Of these
drones have for Il moment throttled the voice
of the majority-their betters. But that is all
they have done-it is only for moment.

The Scott Medical Institute

the physicians having received
their diplomas from the best

stay as can be proved by the
