BY the Electrical Workers Union to the
COmpany's Last Statement.
To he Editor or the REGISTER
SIR:-In regard TO the article appear
ing in the morning papers of the 18th
inst, we, the Electrical Street Car
Workers Union, wish TO state that the
communication to Council is misleading
in II great many instances and seeks to
curry favor with the people. Article
9th of our scale states: mo employe
shall be discharged until after fair
aud impartial investigation has been
made, and II any emplOye is suspended
and afterward found innocent be shall
be paid in full by the company for all
lost time"
This is the point the company is striv-
ing to put before the public as covering
the case. After holding four confer
ences with the company in regard to
the charges against Murrins and Smit-
tie, the company stated positively they
were discharged. Then special meet
ing OF the union was called, and the
committee reported the case to the
union, and the union agreed TO stand
by their action, holding that there was
not sufficient cause for their discharge.
How could these two men have recourse
through article 9, it only referring to
cases of suspension and not of dis
charge?
In regard to accidents, we defy the
company to point out as many accidents
that happened in twelve months previ-
Gus to the time they commenced to en-
ploy non-union labor as has happened
10 the last eight weeks.
One of the men who deserted our
ranks and is now in the employ OF the
company had charge of the car on
which young lady was hurt that cost
or may cost the company some four
thousand and.fiye hundred dollars. 1t
seems the company are satisfied to give
employment TO such a man as that if he
only will come In under the non-uniOn
plan.
Let any man who wishes to take sides
with the company investigate their
previous records in other places, to find
out il they are in sympathy with organ
lied labor.
Manager jolly states that he had no
OOIeCblOu W lu6 utu OolOuBluS W
LABOR union. lie would say, provided
he could make them imperative as TO
the best interest of union labor. Why
would Manager jolly refer TO our scale
as q mere memorandum when in con-
ference with the Arbitration Committee
OF the Trades Assembly?
What fair treatment could be expect
cd from a management who would ask
employees 10 abide by all the rules and
regulations of the Company now in
force or hereinafter to be put in force?
Our City Council gives this Company
the best franchise in the State of West
Virginia. This grant is nothing more
than the property of the taXpaying citi-
zens; and Council represents these
people Why not legisate in the
peoples interests in upholding taxpay-
ing citizens in preference TO non-union
men or imported labor, who do not pay
one cent OF taxes and are not likely to,
for they don't stay long enough any
where to gain q residence?

A Story of a Stone Worth Over
$125,OOO.
For many years the M of a mag
Efficient diamond, said to be in the
possession Of a tribe dwelling in a
far-away region vaguely indicated by
the expression up country" had tick
led the ears of adventures. Many had
gone in search Of it; none had come
within measurable distance Of obtain
ing it, says Good Words.
About this time, however, QS69), q
Dutch farmer named Van Neikerk got
upon the track Of the diamond. He
wandered from tribe to tribe and from
village to village, n day hopeful and
the next disappointed. At length he
vas directed to a medicine man, or
witch doctor, residing in a certain Kafiir
village, and, sure enough, after a good
deal of palaver, and plentiful libations
Of jowala, discovered him to be pos
sessed of q pure white stone of ex-
traordinary size and lustre, which he
had little doubt was the diamond re-
ferred to.
The witch doctor, however, was ex-
tremely unwilling to part with it. A
high price was offered, then a higher
still; but he remained immovable. The
Dutchman now became excited and of.
fered him his whole span of oxen. To
this had of necessity to be added the
tent wagon which he had fitted out
for his Journey, together with his ap-
purtenances. And, at last, stripped Of
all his belongings save his gun and am
munition, he departed with the gem
safely concealed somewhere about his
person.
The bargain, nevertheless, was a good
one, as the stone was found, when
brought to the frontier, to be a beauti-
full, fawless diamond of the purest
water, and worth f25,OOO. This dia-
mond, which is now in the. possession
Of the countess of Dudley-may be
called 1.-The foundation stone Of the
diamond industry"

1t Didn't Take Long for Her to Get
We were camped alongside Of an
emigrant train in Nebraska, says a
correspondent Of the Louisville Ga
zette, and just after supper a woman
about 40 years of age, who was smok-
ing a pipe, came over to u fire and
sized the crowd up, and said:
I've got suthin' to say. I'm a plain
spoken woman. When I've got a thing
on my mind 1 don't beat around the
bush"
We looked at her with curiosity and
surprise, and she leaned against the
wheel Of a wagon and continued:

Over thar I've got q span Of nevis, a
good boss, a new wagon filled with
housekeepin' stuff, and I kin rake up
about $50 in cash. I cum along with
the party to take up a claim. I'm
good-tempered, healthy and can swing
an AK or hold a plow with most any
body. As / said,y I'm q plain-spoken
woman. If there's a critter among you
that wants to get married, let him
stand up while I take a look at him."
The eleven of us promptly stood up.

a wave Of her hand. II hain't after

She passed down the line and then
returned half way and said to a mid
dle-aged man Of the name Of Reming-
ten:
Youth do, I reckon. There's a
preacher in camp, und 'twon't take if
teen minutes to settle things. AL Of

We followed the couple, who were
made man and wife inside of twenty
minutes, and next morning as we
passed the wagon on the road the
woman looked out apd bowed and said:

flow Francis Jos >ph Helped Hunt nm

Our Vienna correspondent learns from
1schl of the following incident, which
is reported to have happened a few
days before the Emperor Joseph left
that lovely mountain city for the man.
oeuvres in Galicia. Two American Ia
dies in Ischl have a maid with them
who is a quadroon, speaking very i'm
perfect German, and whose duty 1t Is
to lead a beautiful little dachsund by
a chain. When the ladies were out walk
ing one morning the dog tore himself
away and disappeared into the thicket.
The girl guessed that the dog had en-
tered the private grounds, but jumped
over the hedge and followed him. Sud-
denly an elderly officer stood before
her and asked her what she was look
ing for. She told him and he said: 1--WE.
must call him; that will bring him
back faster than running after him.
What Is his name?' ''Wallmann," was
the reply. The officer took q silver
whistle out Of his pocket, and alternate
~ called and whistled for the dog, who.
did not respond, though he was heard
barking hoarsely in the distance. Then
a Forest guard came, and the officer
told him to find the dog, and asking the
quadroon where the ladies lived, told
tne man to take it to the hotel she
named: He then bowed politely and
went his way. The quadroon asked
the forest guard who the gentleman
was. When he told her, That was our
emperor" she left him to look for the
dog by himself and ran back to tell
the ladies'. In the evening an imperial
servant appeared at the hotel to ask
whether the dog had been found.

A Deaf.Mute Club.

Paris has a number of very peculiar
clubs at the present time, more, per-
haps, than any other city. Its deaf
mute club has been frequently spoken
Of by tourists. 1t is exactly what it
processes to be-: An association of deaf
and dumb men; all of them compare
lively wealthy
1t is usual for a man thus afflicted,
and who is ina position to retain a
staff Of domestics, to retain these as
interpreters, but in this club there is
no pandering to modern ideas, and no
servant is engaged unless he or she has
lost the power to either speak or hear.
AS a result, the establishment is as
silent as the tomb, and Is an exceeding
~ unpleasant place for an ordinary hu-
man being to wander into. To get over
the apparent difficulty of communica-
ton between different parts of the
house, a series of electric apparatus is
used to call domestics, hut instead OF
the usual bell there is an arrangement
whereby the party called gets a slight
shock. .

Night Growth.

Plants grow much more in the night
than in the daytime, as can be proved
any time by measurement. Measure a
vine at night, then measure it again in
the morning and the next night, and it
will be found that the night growth is
two or three times that accomplished
during the day. During the day the
plant is very busy gathering nourish-
ment from various sources; and during
the night this raw material Is assimi-
lated into the plant life. The same fact
is true Of the animal creation. Children
grow more rapidly during the night.
In the daytime, while the child is
awake and active, the system is kept
busy disposing Of the waste consequent
on this activity; but during sleep the
system is free to extend its operations
beyond the mere replacing of WORKOUT
particles; hencesthe rapid growth. This
is why so many invalids need SO much
rest and sleep. F.

lance-sent to the editor of Once a

OF a visit to the Island Of Reunion and
an ascent Of the Piton de Neire; the
hlghest peak on the island. For a time

James Rice explained that he had flst'

for the press, the article in question:
that the authors name did not appear

its being uncorrected. Mr. Besant was,
