NOBOYCOTTORDERED
THE SITUATION AT HOMESTEAD
 DOESN'T WARRANT ONE.

The Federation of Labor Says the Amount
 Would Not Justify Boycott-The Or
 der Will Be Given When It Is Needed.
 PITTsBURG, Aug. 13-The executive com hittee of the American Federation of Labor spent number of hours in conference with the Homestead advisory committee and the officials of the Amalgamated association. After the meeting President Gompers gave put the following statement:
 After thorough investigation and re- view of the situation in Homestead and the other Carnegie mills, and after conference with President Wiehe and other officials of the Amalgamated association, and on con sultation with the advisory board of the Homestead men, the executive council of the American Federation of Labor do not deem it necessary at present to issue any boycott on the Carnegie products for these reasons:
 'The amount of work now turned out in the Carnegie mills is of such trifling, in- consequential character it would be sheer waste of effort to issue boycott.
 Added to this the quality and small  amount of the product turned out is so in- ferior it is hardly marketable and will re- suit in greater loss of trade to the Car negies than would come from any boycott we might now impose. In fact the unmar- ketable character and small amount of work done is an efficient boycott against the Car negie company itself.
 Should it be necessary to levy general order in the future to let Carnegie products alone we will not hesitate to do so, notwith- standing the threats of the firm to use the conspiracy laws against us. Our declining tc issue boycott at this time does not prevent all sympathizers with the struggling toilers from refusing to use structural iron, steel or nails and other products of the Carnegie mills wherever they locally feel inclined to do so, and at the same time every dollar of financial aid which can be raised should be given freely to help this struggle of brawp and brain, muscle and heart against the cold blooded, grasping avarice of well protected manufacturers

A Monster Volcano.

Hawaii is chiefly famous for its vol canoes. Kilauea, the largest active vol cano in the world, lies on the side of the mountain Mauna Loa at an elevation of 4,00O feet. We usually think of vol cano as cone, but Kilauea is rather a great sunken pit in the midst of vast desolate plain, which slopes up gently to the summit of the mountain. It is a pit of no less than nine miles in circumfer- ence and the area of its lowest level is six square miles. The level varies, but it is at present 600 feet below the sur rounding country, and is reached by a steep descent down the sheer face of a precipice which extends right around the crater and, as it were, walls it in.
 Within the crater, toward its southern end, is an inner crater with one or more lakes of fire, called Halemaumau, or House of Everlasting Burnings, which constitute the true chimney of the vol cano. Here Kilauea exhibits it's cease less sctivity.--Asiatic Quarterly.

How a Painting Was Recovered.

A painting of the infant Jesus in the possession of New York family has curious history. It was sold to a mem Der of the family many years ago, and the merchant declared his belief that it was Guido Rene, although he was too honest to certify to the fact. Years later the purchaser saw in a print shop an engraving of a madonna and child and recognized reproduction of a part of his picture. He turned the picture over to a cleaner of oil paintings, and the latter. on taking off the frame, dis. covered a part of the canvas doubled upon itself. Spreading out the whole canvas he began to scrape at the point where, according to the engraving, the madonna should be. In due time he was rewarded, for the madonna's face ap- peared, and the painting was plainly the original of the engraving. The latter was labeled as from Guido Rene.-Chi oago Herald.

LIZZIE BORDEN ARRESTED.
She Is Charged with the Murder of He
 Father and Mother.

Father and Mother.
 FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 13.-The ax with which Mrs Borden was killed has been found. That is the sensation of the day in the mysterious double murder case. The formal commitment of Miss Lizzie as the assassin of her father and stepmother ranks second in interest to the discovery of the murderous weapon.
 It did not leak out till now that one of the four hatchets found in the cellar of the Bor- den homestead soon after the murder was the instrument with which the butchery was committed. Under the microscope it shows many spots of human blood. That it was carefully washed there is no doubt, for bucket of water was found near it, and also three new towels, partially covered with blood. The water had been splashed over the cellar floor. The weapon also showed some long hairs, which matched those in Mrs. Borden's head.
 When court was opened Lizzie Borden came in on the arm of Rev. A. E. Buck, the white haired missionary of Central church. She wore tailor made gown of dark blue and black hat trimmed with black polka dot crape. She had no veil. She was more self possessed than at any previous time, and her steellike and almost painful sever ity of countenance betrayed no emotion. Sne was careless ana luuluefenL to ntT sur roundings and whispered leisurely to her counsel, A. J. Jennings. The latter filed a motion to dismiss the complaint upon the grounds that the judge, being the same per son who presided at the inquest, was not competent to pass an unbiased opinion at the preliminary trial; further, that the in- quest was still in session.
 District Attorney Knowlton offered de- murrer, which was sustained, and thrn he asked that the prisoner be called upon to make her plea to the complaint. Her law yer offered plea of not guilty, but the judge would not accept it, and ordered the clerk to proceed with the usual custom of the court The clerk asked Lizzie to stand up and answer to the charge of murder.
 She did so in firm tone of voice aud with stress upon the "nutn
 Then Lizzie Borden was ordered to be committed without bond to await the trial. She arlse, and with ever faithful Minister Buck F. sstd out under police guard. A closeu carriage convey ua Ley md her sister Emma to the depot, where a train was boarded for Taunton.

St, Swithin's Day.

St. Swithin's Day comes on the 10th of July; if it rains then, it will rain on the forty days following. Swithin was bishop of Winchester and died July 9, S62, leaving directions that he should be buried in the churchyard of his cathe- dral, so that the rain might fall on his grave. Some years afterward the monks desired to move the remains into the cathedral and fixed on July 15 for the translation, but for forty days it rained steadily, so that they could not open the grave, and at the end of the fortieth day they decided that the saint preferred to stay out in the wet.-St Louis Globe Democrat.

Can't Be Done.

The problems of how to make good butter or cheese out of poor milk are those which no dairyman should con sider. If they can be done it would be much more to the advantage of all par ties if the time and thought were given to learning how not to have any poor milk. There are difficulties enough in the way in striving to produce 8 good article from good milk. The farmer should learn how not to produce any poor milk, and the creameries should learn, and are learning very rapidly, how to detect it when offered to them and how to reject it with sufficient firm. ness.-American Cultivator.

.Ss7.44e,37l


 In point of number the Methodists stood first in 1850 and still retain the position. Nearly one third of all the church edifices belong to the Methodist church, while the Baptists can lay claim to more than one- quarter. Relatively speaking, the Episco- pal church retains about the same position to the other denominations as it did in 1850. On the other hand, the Roman Cath olic church has advanced considerably, from trifie over per cent of the total number to over per cent. In point of value, how ever, the Catholic church has made still greater strides, from an ownership of l0L per cent. of all the church property to an ownership of 1Ss1 per cent In this respect the Catholic church now ranks second in importance, being exceeded only by the Methodist church, which returns trifie over 201S per cent. of the total value. In 1850 the value of church property of four denominations-Meth Presbyterian, Baptist and Episcopal-outranked the Catholic church in this respect.
