WHITTIER is dead. Apurer, sweeter
and more beautiful poet never put pen
to paper, and the same was true Of him as
a man. For fifty years and more JOIN
GREENLEAF WHITTIER made friends
personally by his sterling character
and publicly by his great genius, until
their name is legios. His sympathy
with his fellow man was always intense.
He WAS an army nurse during the war
and hundreds of dying and wounded
have remembered him in their prayers.
The death Of such a man as WHITTIER
Is a loss to the world.

Mr.. Frohman has carefully selected
a cast for this immense play and one
that will do it justice and present each
character as study. All the essential
scenery, properties, mechanisms and
accessories are carried by the company
in their special baggage car, and cor
rect and perfect production may be
looked for as the play was rehearsed
and correctly arranged for in every
particular under the skillful direction
of Mr.. DeMille. The interest in the
production in this city is large. as the
play has been seen by many during its

ANAL LGAMATED SCALE SIGNED.
Forty Thousand Iron and Steel Men Will
 Nnru Rasuma wneE

Forty Thousand Iron and Steel Men Will
 Now Resume Work.
 PITTsBURG Aug. 1.-The Pittsburg man. ufacturers have signed the Amalgamated association scale in body. This means that 40, 900 iron workers will return to work as union men. It saves the association from the wreck which has threatened it ever since the Homestead trouble. There were two conferences between the manufacturers and the men.
 At first both masters and men were obstinate. The employers insisted on heavy reductions, and declared they would all start as nonunion mills unless the men agreed at once. On the other hand the men presented the vote of the 300 Arnalga- mated lodges throughout the country, which vote was decidedly opposed to arbitration. The committee of men also refused to agree to reduction.
 At the second meeting both sides were in better humor. The employers declared they must start the mills and the men ac- knowledged that they wanted work. On this basis compromise was soon effected. Both sides were willing to make conces- nons and both sides made them, though the men seem to have the best of it.
 The manufacturers conceded what the men greatly desired-that the basis of pud- Hing remain at S5.50 per ton-while the men agreed to 10 per cent. reduction in all finishing departments. In the bar and guide mills, with the exception of the plate md rolling mills, the men also agreed to twelve cents per ton less than last year. Heating in rolling mills is 10 per cent lower.
 This agreement affects fourteen large mills in the Pittsburg district alone, em- 2loying 10000 men. Many of these mills nave put in improved machinery by which, IS the men are paid by the output, wages will be even larger than under the last 'cale, which was adopted in 1889. The Car aegie mills will be the only important non- inion establishments in the district.

FANcIED EXPERIENCE OF A WORLD.

A little world inhabited by men Had swung for ages round its central sun, Until its people came to know all stars Within their range of vision. Each they named and weighed and measured, Computed with their spectroscopes What metals burned in this and what in that, Until their wise men thought they knew it all. No wonder was there but they told it's law; / Il things from nebulse they formed,
 nd all reduced to system,
 Until they lost all sight of God And said he was principle Held helpless in the grasp of changeless laws Which he as well as others must obey. The future of their race was all laid out By these wise scientists, and cut and dried, Until one day God laughed at the little fools And sent his messenger to fetch them. Then from out 8 distant part of space, Never conceived by that puny world, A roaring comet of stupendous size Rushed with swiftness indescribable, And passing close, within some million leagues Lashed with it's fiery tails that saucy world, And, sucking it away from its old sun, Whirled it, as in uerision, through the void, And dragged it flaming past some thousand
 stars .=..s For all to wonder and to marvel at; Then flung it far out into vasty space, Where no sun was, where no light came, And there 1t turned into blackened ball And froze till God found better use for it.

TROOPS UNDER ARMS.

The Switchmen's Strike at Buffalo Get
 ting Decidedly Ugly.
 BUFFALO, Aug. 1.-Two regiments of state troops have been ordered out to sup press riotous demonstrations here conse- quent upon the switchmen's strike. They are resting on their arms, ready to respond at a moments notice.
 Passenger trains arriving are carefully in- spected by strikers, who go through the cars inquiring of each passenger whence he came, whither he is going and what his business is. Trains of freight cars have been fired and strikers have mocked those who strove to quench the flames Travellers have been robbed, though it is said that the robbers are not strikers, but lawless men who have taken advantage of the situation.
 Perishable freight is no longer received at some points along the lines affected. The railway authorities express determination to conquer in the struggle, and the switch men manifest equal determination to carry their point.
 Mail trains have been stopped and the government has been notified, which adds to the seriousness of the situation, and scenes of further violence are feared. The hospitals are all in readiness for emergency calls. Every ambulance in the city stand in front of the hospitals ready for service. The full force of surgeons has been ordered on duty and is in the hospitals in waiting.

BIG CHURCH STRIDES
INTERESTING DATA REVEALED BY
 OUR LAST CENSUS.

The Twenty Million Comnunicants Own
 I4a,a Churches, Which Are Worth, in
 Round Numbers, se3I, ,ooo, ,ooo-The
 Colored Organizations Swelling.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Superintendent Robert P Porter makes public the prelim- mary figures of the church statistics of the eleventh census, which are both curious and interesting There are shown to be in the United States nearly l50 separate and dis tinct church organizations holding to wide ly different creeds, varying greatly in prac- tice and representing all possible variations of church polity.
 There are dozen different branches of the Presby family. There are some denominations that will answer only to the simplest, most indefinite title - for ex- ample, the Brethren. There are various churches that claim to be simply Brethren. Four of these are branches of what are pop ularly called Plymouth Brethren. but they do not own the title Plymouth" nor k there any designation which they have adopted by which these four bodies of Ply mouth Brethren may be distiugE. heU tiun' other brethren. There are two stetormed churches, known as the "Reformed Church in America" and the Reformed Church in the U..ted States.'
 Some PecuHarities.
 Some of the denominations were never numbered before, and it required the utmost powers of persuasion to induce them to submit to the process. Scots have been found and enumerated who claim less than 100 communicants. Here are seven sects which altogether number now only about LOGO persons, and yet own church edifices worth S70, 900: Shakers, Amananites, Men- nonite, Harmony Separatists, New Icarian and Altruists All societies observing the communal life, whether founded on re- hgious or secular belief, are embraced in the returns. Two of these societies are not re- ligious, the Icarian and the Altruist, but are organized to apply a social principle. After the seven great denominations Congregational, Lutheran, Methodist, Pres byterian, Roman Catholic, Baptist and Episcopal-hsve been accounted for, the other 134 religious associations represent less than Is per cent. of the church edifices and less than II per cent. of the aggregate value of church property.
 Some of the subdivisions of the Baptist churches are peculiar. The uninitiated per son thinks it difficult to define the differ ence between the Seventh Day and the six principal Baptists, between the Mudhead | Baptists and the River Brethren, between the Primitive and the Free Will, between the Original Free Will and the old Two Seed | in Spirit, between the General and the Gen. eral Free Will. Besides these there are also the Regular South, Regular North and the Regular Colored Baptists. The Society of | Friends are divided into the Orthodox and the Hicksite, the Wilburite and the Primi- | tive branches. There are seventeen or eight cen different branches of the Lutheran church in this country.

MINERS APPLY THE TORCH.

More Rioting in Tenne essee-Convicts Re-
 leased and Terror Reigns.
 NASHVILLE, Aug. 15.-Bloodshed, the torch and riot have resumed sway in the mining districts, and reign of terror has set in that may culminate in fearful loss of life The free miners at Tracy City burned the stockade there and sent 800 convict miners away on train which they stole and placed in charge of Deputy Warden Burton and twenty-five guards. Between Sewanee and Mont Eagle the convicts cut break for liberty. Several shots were fired. Matt Wilson (white) was killed and Tom Smith (colored) wounded. Six or eight made good their escape. The train was held at Cowan until orders to come on were received from Nashville.
 It is feared that the Inman mines will be attacked, and the guards who brought the Tracy City convicts here have been sent flying there. Governor Buchanan is very nervous and anxious over the Inman con victs, some 400 in all. He is waiting to hear from the sheriff of Grundy county, who wired him that he would probably call for troops today.
 Governor Buchanan said: 'tI am tired of this foolishncss, and I am going to put stop to it for Il time. lam going to issue proclamation offering big reward for the leaders if nothing else happens, and if any thing else IS happen, then upon their heads I will ..url the swords of the Tennes- see national guard"
