What They Lacked.

1t has been said, we believe, "that q
poet is born, not made" but even a
poetic birthright does not prevent its
owner from occasionally encountering
adverse criticism on his early efforts.
While Thomas Campbell was prosecut-
ing his studies at the University of Glas-
gov he occupied apartments with an
elder brother. who, though no poet him.
self, was q most admirable critic, but a
severe one.
Mr.. Campbell had gone down to the
breakfast room one morning, leaving the
poet to follow at his leisure. After wait
ing for some time, he began his meal in
solitude. He had nearly finished break
fast when his brother entered with q
copy of verses in his hand. which he laid
on the table as an excuse for his delay,
at the same time requesting Mr.. Camp
BELLS opinion of their merit. The reply
was quite characteristic of his brothers
peculiar dry humor.
Your lines are admirable, Tom, my
boy" said the elder Campbell, after calm
ly perusing the verses, '.but they appear
to me TO want fire." and suiting the ac-
ton to the word the merciless critic
committed the paper to the flames. The
poet barely succeeded in rescuing his eff
fusion, but after a little reflection he
threw it into the fire for the second time.

NEWS FROM MILAN.
Two Very Peculiar Accidents Sorrow at
SeRrR

Two N0Ey G0CuI1uE ACCIOcntU -S0rTOW at
Sears.
MILAN, July 27.-William Pate. a
resident of Sears, was injured while
at work on the canal near Milan Sat
urday afternoon. Pate was oiline
cars on one side, while men were
loading on the other side, when the
half load was turned, the car I'M
hooked and fell. the trucks being
what struck him. He lay wedged
under the car for quite a while, till a
team was hitched to the car and it was
pulled off. He was conscious all the
time, and told them what to do.
Pate is a son-in-law of William
Campbell in Sears. His legs are
broken, and he is internally in
jured. DR.. Huyett's report this
morning was that he was little bet
ter. but his recovery is doubtful.
William Shoemaker and wife, of
Sears, mourn the loss of their child
Louie, who died last night at 1917,
OF cholera infantum, aged 2 wears
and 8 months. The funeral services
will be conducted from the house at
10 a. m. tomorrow. The grief strick-
en- parents have much sympathy in
their bereavement.
Last Thursday, William Hoffman
accidentally drove over his son, aged
3! years. He had load of hay on
the wagon, and did not see the little
fellow. The wheel ran over the lit
tie ones stomach and severely in
ured him. The doctor thinks he
will pull through all right.

WOOL
Proposition Made to Democratic Con-
gressmen by the New England
Manufacturers.
No Change Till 1895 After Which q
10 Per Cent Annual Reduction
Would Be Acceptable.
The Proposition Said to Be Looked
Upon With Favor by the
Committee.

PROVIDENCE, r. T., May 8.-A WASH
ington special to- The News says the
proposition Of the woollen manufacture
ers to the senate committee on the wool
tariff, concerning which there has been
so much speculation, is as follows:
The Mckinley tariff to remain I'M
touched until Jan. 1, 1895; then a re-
duction of 10 per cent to be made, fol-
lowed annually by a similar reduction
until absolute free trade conditions are
reached. This schedule has, it is
derstood, been submitted to the New
England manufacturers by the Demo-
cratic woollen manufacturers, and they
have agreed to it, and it is claimed that
virtually all the woollen manufacturers
have signed the petition.
Several prominent Rhode Island man.
ufacturers were in Washington last
week and urged the committee to adopt
this schedule. The committee was
%favorably impressed with the PROPOSE.
ton, it is alleged. This settlement of
the wool tariff, the Democratic manu-
%facturers say, would start the mills up
Immediately, and would enable manu-
%facturers to make preparations for the
reductions in the tariff, in a way that
would not disturb the trade seriously.

MILL MEN ORGANIZING.

Master Workman Sovereign at Work In
Leading Milling Cities.
KANSAS CITY, Kan, May SIT is
given out here on good authority that
-four milling interests the country over
may have to contend with a strike or
give in to the demands which are to be
presented to the mill owners as soon as
the organization now being established
among the millers is on a firm footing.
It appears that while General Master
Workman Sovereign of the K. of l..
was in Minneapolis, ostensibly lending
moral assistance to Grand, Chief Debs in
the Great Northern strike, his real pur-
pose was to organize the millers within
the ranks of the K. Of L. He succeeded
in forming an assembly and $50 millers
signed the charter Of the Flour Mill
Employees Association No. 606 A
member Of the latter, who is now in the
city, but who desires his name with.
held, states that organizers are now, or
will soon be, at work in Duluth, Mil
waukee, Rochester, New York, Buffalo,
and st. Louis, and that, while there is
no talk Of a strike at present there is a
a prospect that the demands will be
formulated and presented to the mill
owners.

GUARDS FIRE ON A MOB.

Strikers Attack a Non-Union Foundry at
Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, May S.-A lively fight
occurred during the afternoon at the
Standard foundry, where a strike has
been in progress for several weeks.
Ever since the trouble began the non
union molders who took the places of
the strikers have kept a constant watch
on the building. During the afternoon
about 1000 idle men assembled in the
vicinity. About 5 o'clock an assault
was made upon the building, a volley of
stones and other missiles being hurled
ut the windows. The guards inside,
who were armed with rifles, opened fire
on the crowd and the battle ragged for
fully Is minutes before the police ar
rived. It is said that at least 100 shots
were fired. A large force Of police was
summoned as soon as the trouble was
reported and the mob was dispersed.
The officers have been trying to ascer-
tain if anybody wa shot, but thus far
have been unable to find anyone who
was injured,

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

Capital of the Empire State Filling Up
With Delegates and Visitors.
ALBANY, May 8-Tne cal ital of the
Empire state is beginning 10 fill up with
delegates to the great constitutional
convention. ALL the available quarters
at the hotels have been engaged for an
indefinite period, and boarding houses
and private dwellings have been liber-
ally drawn upon to provide accommoda-
tions for the small army of outsiders
that will be attracted here by the DELHI
erations of the convention. A large
number of woman suffragists is on
hand, and SO are many members of the
National League for the Protection of
American Institutions. Organized labor
is we'll represented. About one-half of

advance guard of woman %suffragists has
started in to work with characteristic
energy, and every arriving delegate is
at once button holed and urged to
pledge himself to support the constitu-
tional amendment giving the right of
the ballot to the gentler sex.
