Chicago's Labor Temple.

Organized labor in Chicago, as repre-
sented by the Trade and Labor assem-
bly, and the Building Trades council, is
taking steps for the erection of large
building to be known as a labor temple.
The idea is to have number of halls
and assembly rooms in the building,
which will be leased to unions for meet
ing places. There will also be estab-
lished free employment bureau, with
quarters in the temple, and there will
be office rooms for the labor organiza-
tions requiring headquarters. Shares
in the building association are placed at
five dollars each, and they will be sold
only to trades unionists and labor Or
ganizations.
Just at present there is little hitch
about certain plot of ground to which
the Trade assembly lays claim. Ten
years ago the city council Of Chicago
gave to organized labor the south half Of
Dearborn park, piece of land about
half the size of an ordinary city block,
fronting on Wabash avenue and bounded
north and south by Randolph and Wash
ington streets respectively. Arrange
ments were begun at that time for the
erection of labor temple, but adjoining
property holders filed an injunction,
claiming that the government and not
the city owned the property, and work
on the excavations had to be stopped.
The government and city consented to
the erection of library building on the
plot, and the supreme court has decided
that the land is the property Of the city.
At this writing there is information to
the effect that the Trade assembly will
apply for an injunction restraining the
library people from occupying ground
which belongs to the labor organizations.
The case is one Of interest.

Married at the Head of n Coffin.

Mourners who gathered at a funeral
in Elmhurst saw a remarkable sight. In
the coffin in the parlor lay the body of
Mrs. Lucy d. Clay. Friends and rela-
tives were seated about. The Rev. T. J.
Collins, of Scranton, was there to preach
the funeral sermon. Just before the
time set for the services to begin A. B.
Clay, son Of the dead woman, walked
into the room leading Miss Lillian Sny-
der. These two were lovers, and they
there requested the Rev. Collins to mar
ry them. When young Clay produced
the required certificate the preacher con-
sented to perform the ceremony. The
bride and groom took their places near
the head of the coffin and, with the
mourners for witnesses, they were pro-
nounced husband and wife. Then the
funeral services went on.-Cor. Phil

Dentistry and Diplomacy.

We notice that the United States lega-
ton is doing duty as dentists Office
and consul generals court. This no
doubt is another good stroke of business
which kills two birds with one stone.
But what if the White House were let
out in part to publican? The Ameri-
can legation is national property and
ought not to be converted into drug
stores or dentists offices. A sense of the
fitness of things or the dignity of the flag
is evidently unknown at the American
legation Free Press.

Had Sympathy for the Court.

Charles Townes, who was found guilty
of grand larceny in the county court at
Canadaigua, is a rather original chap.
When he was called up for sentence he
made an eloquent plea for mercy and
sympathized with the court ''for having
to sentence an innocent man." Utica

Farmers and Strikers.

The farmers of Kansas rallied to the
support Of the striking Rock Island
operators by refusing to ship their cattle
and grain over the road until the com
pany did the square thing by its teleg-
raphers. A dispatch from Horton,
Kan, says, "Those who are prominent
in the movement are leaders of the
Populist party" Here is food for the
thought Of the mechanic, miner and
laborer. The farmers have at last
learned the lesson of identical in
terests."
Rev. Thomas Dixon, New York's sem
sational preacher, says: "The time has
come to put stop to these idiotic riots
in the industrial world. Let us have a
supreme court of arbitration and a law
making the immediate settlement of
such disputes compulsory"

1t is said that an earnest effort will be
made to secure from congress as soon as
possible legislation looking to the pro-
lection of railway employees. For years
this subject has been agitated in con-
gress and out, and nothing has been done.
The old death dealing appliances have
been continued in use, and thousands of
men have either lost their lives or been
made cripples within the past ten years
because the lawmakers have been the
heartless tools of railroad corporations.
Congressman O'Neill, of Missouri, intro
duced a bill last winter requiring the
railroads to adopt driving wheel brakes
on all engines after 1895 and automatic
couplers of a uniform type, such as dc
not necessitate brakemen going between
the cars, by 1893, and ordering Other
changes that would prevent or reduce
the number of accidents to railway em
ployees. The railroad companies oppose
all such legislation because Of the ex
pense such a change would entail, and
our lawmakers have agreed with the
magnates that dollars are of more value
than lives and limbs.

The Mysterious Murder of Two Unknow
 Women.


 | MIDDLETowN. \. Y. Sept. "A di<cov- ny of what has all the appearances of a iouble murder and may prove to be triple assassination has just been made at ! 5urlingham, at the foot of the Shawan- | Sunk mountains
 The events leading up to the supposed murders date some time back Paul Holli- lay, widower, who resided near BurlinC- ham, recently married young woman Eho had been working for him. Soon Ifter the marriage Holidays house and barn were burned, and his crippled son was burned to death in the house Mrs Holli- lay was arrested for arson and held in the Orange county jail, where she showed evi- 1ence of insanity. She was sent 10 the State hospital, and subsequently being re .eased she returned home.
 The latter part of last week Holiday was missed. He had not been seen by his neighbors since last Thursday \ watch was set on Holidays premises and Mrs. Holiday questioned as To her husbands whereabouts.
 She said he had gone to Bloumingburgt to work as mason. but an investigation proved her statements false. Mrs. Hulli- lay made some inquiries aS tu what would remove blood stains. and her actions be- coming mysterious she Was arrested. A searching party was made up To look for Holiday. In the barn at Holiday place they found under lot of hay the bodies of two women. One Was that of a tleshy woman about 45 years of age and the other that of a young girl aged about lg years
 In the body of the elder woman there were eight bullet wounds. Death had evi- dentiy taken place in both c.I~t> about four days ago.
 While the names of the ,lrad women are unknown, it is thought that they were summer hoarders from New York city Coroner Rnesch of Wvstboro has sum moned a jury, and local phy~irians are mak- ing post mortem examination. The in- quest will he held this afternoon. The search for Holiday continues

CHOLERA SCARE OVER.
Only the Case of Martin Grove Now Re
 mains to Ease IL On.


 JERSEY CITY. Sept. 5-Thc bottom is not only dropping out of the cholera scare in this city, but the cases themselves are dropping out one by one. The only one now remaining k that of Martin Grove, who died at the City hospital It was a~- sumcd that he had cont rtcird the disease from Mrs. Josephine Smith, of State street, who died 9u hours before Grove and whose symptoms were somewhat similar.
 County Physician Converse caused Mrs smiths body tu hr rN humcd on Saturday, and portions of the Vi~ccra were removed for the purposes of d b,I,t,riuluLiy:,l exam ination by Dr. BiGE- and Dr Jenkins.
 The test was concluded, and Dr BiE-s at once transmitted the result tu Health Iu- spector Benjamin IL k 10 the effect that no indications ot cholera were found in Mrs Smiths case Her dtath was caused by cholera morhu~.
 This satisfies the authorities that Will liam Morton, Mrs. SmiIhs brother in-law. who lived in the same house with her. also died of cholera morhl,~, and therefore Groves case stands alone. The quarantine at State street was raised at midnight. This Was the only plac, remaining under quarantine, but the sanitary supervision both of State street and Culver avenue will be maintained until the end of the week Today Health Inspector Benjamin is en- dcavormG to trar,' the movements of Cruwe with view tu a~CcrtaiuiHg where he con tracted the disease.

The other gown of fiowere,l silk in the same illustration would be quite ideal but for the band of plain silk which cuts the skirt in two just below the hips. The plain skirt would have been full of grace and dignity. but that band spells it. The bodice. with its vest of soft silk the color of the flowers. crossed in folds below lace collar and outlined with a double bertha of dark silk, is very pretty and tho puffed sleeves of soft silk are graceful.
 Another gown k not 50 hopeful. It is of sage green silk. and the inevitable bands cross the skirt and end in front with bows. The sleeves are moderate in size, and the folded vest of creamy chif- ion, with broad revers of silk. is also free from the vice of ultra smartness. But the two little ruffies that finish it are neither graceful nor useful.

That evening the old Pierrots fall asleep in their chairs, and be ing awakened by noise see their son steal ing their savings of many years. They feign sleep when the boy looks around sud denly, and he escapes.
 The second act shows Phrynettc and the younger Pierrot in a luxurious apart ment living upon the proceeds of his theft. 4 violent quarrel follows Pierrot's state ment, in reply to Phrynctte's demand for more money, that lie is practically penni- less. Bills have been coming in all day. Phrynette goes to her room and Pierrot, after many struggles with his obstreperous conscience, marks pack of cards and sal lies forth to swindle some one at gam bling, and thus obtain the wherewithal to gratify his inamorata's inordinate passion for dress.
 Phryncttc, returning. believes that Pier rot has deserted her and elopes with d baron who calls and presents a diamond necklace. When Pierrot gets back laden with his ill gotten wealth, he finds Phry- nette's note. Overcome with remorse and anger, he hurls the money to the floor and starts for the door, but falls in faint
