PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. t3.-Chief
Arthur Of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers is for peace. At the
same time his organization is ready
to go TO war for the upholding Of the
right of labor men to organize, as they
see it if necessary. Mr. Arthur, who
is here with Chief wilkins of the Order
of Railway Conductors and 2. H. Nor
rissey, representing Chief Wilkinson of
the Order of Trainmen, and grievance
committee of Reading employees, said
that a conference would be held with
President Mcleod of the Reading to-
day.
AS to it's purpose Mr.. Arthur said:
eve don't know what the outcome
will be, but hope to see the difference
between the company and its employees
amicably adjusted, If Mr.. Mcleod has
been correctly quoted oy the press, as
! believe he has, his statement of the
company's POSITION is misleading"
There is talk of a compromise be-
tween the company and the men, by
which some of the harsh features con.
nected with joining the Reading Re-
lief association will be eliminated, and
the obnoxious rule requiring employees
reinstated after suspension to forswear
all la Dor organizations will be with

FIGHT WITH A SHARK.
a Mans Fierce Conflict With an Ocean
Monster.

The waters about New Zealand, like
those of the South Pacific in general,
are infested with formidable species
of shark, which docs not hesitate to
attack human beings. Many tragedies
have been recorded from this cause, and
many narrow escapes have been effected
by fishermen, sailors and bathers. The
New Zealand Herald describes dcs-
perate fight which recently took place
in Manukau harbor, a great inlet from
the ocean near Auckland.
Mr.. Henry jacobson, light-kecpcr at
North Manukau Heads, was out in his
boat, about six miles down the harbor
A squall struck and swamped his boat,
and left him in the water. The boat
was heavily ballasted, and sunk. He
dived and attempted to relieve the bal
last, but failed.
jacobson was good swimmer, and
resolved to make for the land. He
graSped an oar and struck out manfully.
But he had not counted on the tide,
which at that hour was running very
strong, and instead of being able to
make q direct course for land, was
swept three miles farther down the har-
Dor.
AS he was lying upon the water, al
most exhausted, he saw large shark
coming close upon him. He knew it
was a man-eater, and the knowledge did
not increase the comfort of his situa-
ton.
The shark g .bbed at his hand, but
jacobson gave him the oar in its stead,
and was about to ram the implement
down the creatures throat when it
drew back 1t circled round and round
him, and presently rushed straight for
him again,
This time the man had his sheath
knife drawn, and, holding the oar as
shield, stabbed the shark in the side.
The blood flowed, reddening the water
all about.
The shark drew back, wounded as 1t
was, and made another attack. This
time jacobson struck the fish ripping
blow near the tail. This seemed too
much for it, and it swan away.
jacobson was now left, in greatly
exhausted condition, clinging to his oar,
in the bloody water. just as he was
giving up hope Of being able to reach
the land boat from the port hove in
sight. He. was seen, and hauled into
the boat, after being in the water two
hours and a half. He was unable to
speak for considerable time.

WAYS OF SLEEPING.
Exactly Opposite Conditions Sought
People of DltIerent Ma. i,ns.

Exactly Opposite Conditions Sought by
People of Different Na.ions.
The things which one person needs to
make him sleep are precisely the things
which would keep another awake all
night. Even the sedative medicines
which put one person Immediately into
a heavy slumber excite another into a
condition of nervous restlessness. The
European or American. in order to sleep
well, ordinarily requires downy pill
low under the head, but the Japanese,
stretching himself upon rush mat on
the floor, puts a hard, square block of
wood under his head, and does not sleep
well if he does not have it. The Chi
nese makes great account of his bed.
which is very low indeed-scarcely ris-
ing from the floor-but is often carved
exquisitely of wood, but it never occurs
to him to make it any softer than the
rush mats will render it. While the
people of the northern countries can
not sleep unless they have plenty of
room to stretch out their legs the in
habitants of the tropics often curl
themselves up like monkeys at the
lower angle of a suspended hammock
and sleep soundly in that position
The robust American often covers
himself with pair of blankets and
throws his window wide open to the
air, even in the winter time, and he
docs not complain if he finds little
drift of snow across the top of his bed
in the morning. The Russian, on the
contrary, likes no sleeping place so we'll
as the top of a big soapstone stove in
his domicilc. Crawling out of this Bills
tering bed in the morning he likes to
take plunge in cold stream, even If
he has to break the ice to get into it.
The Laplander crawls, head and all,
into bag made of reindeer skin, and
sleeps warm and comfortable within it.
The East Indian, at the other end of the
world, also has a sleeping bag, but it is
more porous than the Laplanders. Its
purpose is to keep out mosqui toes moro
than to keep the sleeper warm. While
the American still clings to his feather
pillow, he is steadily discarding his old
fashioned feather bed in favor of the
hair or straw mattress. The feather
bed is relegated to the country, and
many people who slept upon it all
through their childhood find themselves
uncomfortable upon it in their MATURE
ty. The German not only sleep upon a
feather bed but underneath one. The
feather covering used in Germany, how
ever, concludes the Youths Companion,
is not SO large or as thick as the ono
which is used as a mattress, and the
foreigner who undertakes to sleep be-
meath 1t often finds his feet suffering
from cold while his shoulders are suffer-
ing from heat.

can tin plate factory of ElWood was
formally dedicated as an American in
dustry today and VIM. Mckinley Jr
otficiated at the ceremonies. Some
5000 spectators We're present. The
small attendance was due to the heavy
rain which fell continuously all day.
1t was not until 1890 that the train
bearing Governor Mckinley; Governor
Chase, of Indiana; Chairman Gowdy,
of the state republican COMMITTEES; Hon.
Chas l.. Henry, candidate for congress
in the seventh district, and the Column
bia Club Of indianapolis reached the
city. Elaborate arrangements We're
made for speaking in a grove, out the
weather prevented this, and Gov. Nc
I<inley made the principal address from
the opera house stage. To some humid
reds of people standing in the rain out
side, unable to gain admission, Gov
ernor Mckinley addressed few words
from the balcony.
Gov Chase, of Indiana was also
! introduced and spoke briefly.
Gov. Mckinley entered the opera
house and made the principal speech of
! the day. lie SAID III part:
! F'All agree that the issues that are
commanding the most attention and
! Which are most upon the minds of the
T! people is the question of the tariff
! Now there are TWO kinds of tariff, 4
! protective tariff and a tariff for revenue
| only. Either Il protective CT revenue
| tariff Will provide money requisite for
public purposes. But q revenue tariff
| Will do nothing else but raise revenue.
! 1t turns the deaf ear to labor and wages
ard the industries of tie country. The
! protective tariff performs Il further ser
/ vice thar protecting and defending
| and encouraging and stimulating the
| Industries and energies of our own ueo-
I pie.
| Governor Mckinley went Oh to in
| stance the articles which the tariff pro-
| tected, and said: They say the pro-
| tective tarI.4 is 4 burden upon the
| American people. There's not 4 man in
! Indiana who knows there is any such
! thing as protective tariff law from
any personal experience of his own of
| burdens Of protective tariff There
| is not a man or woman in Indiana who
! does not know there is a protective
| tariff from the blessings that he eXpe-
riences under the system"
! The remainder of Governor McKin-
| leys speech was devoted to Il re.riew of
| the republican tariff law and it's effect
upon the commerce and manufactures
/ of the country.
| At the conclusion of the speech q
visit was made to the tin plate factory
and the process of manufacturing tin
plate was exhibited to the visitor.
! Governor Mckinley again made Il brief
speech on the object lesson of the day.
During the whole afternoon men and

and distributed copies of the following
