In ChicagO's Slums.

Finding lodging place for the night
when one has but cents-an ordinary
street car fare nickel-is no easy job.
Lodging houses where the beds rent for
10 cents hold as grimly to tariff prices
as a coal combine IN arctic weather
would do 1t is case of fiat money
with those people. If they had 500 beds
and but five dodgers, the sixth could not
get an abatement, even though his flesh
were dropping from his bones with
frost. mo pay, no bed" is the motto,
and they stick to it.
Nowadays dimes are being with
drawn from circulation. At least the
people who are forced into begging
them report that to be the state of the
money market. Two nickles make a
dime, it is true, and so do 10 pennies,
but there seems to be bear movement
in small coins and this form of cur
rency also is hard to get, especially SO
for those who either can't, don't or
won't work for it.
AS matter of fact there are many
hundred persons in Chicago every night
who cannot purchase lodging lack
of means and who stay out so late that
access to the station houses is denied
because they are already overcrowded.
These people will then sleep anywhere.
All they want is cover from the night.
That can be had in Chicago for 8
cents. But the lowest tramp, If for
tune favored him with dime, would
shrink with horror from lodging in
nr1a
places of the kind in Chicago, and they
are hard to find. When found, they are
the very apotheosis of degradation, dirt
and dinginess. Beside the cent places
those where admittance is dime are
palaces. For 8 cents the ledger is al
lowed the privilege of a chair until
morning simply that and nothing
more.
The keepers of such places form the
not treat their patrons as humans, MOI
yet as beasts of the field. The 8 cent
wretch becomes an object for blows and
kicks. When his nickel enters the greasy
pocket that gapes for it, he is then al
atom of squalor, and he is treated &C
col Iingly.
Recently the Atlas hotel was visited
1t is probably the worst lodging hous'
In Chicago. The prices begin at cent

Custom House place few yards from
Van Buren, street. On one side of it il
a stable. There the horses get clear
straw every night for bedding. On tn
other side is deserted church, whicl

house. Amid such surroundings tn
poor fellow who has but nickel is al
lowed to stay over night. He can sit o.

on the floor. In either event he is force
to sleep with another man half cover
ing him, for every night the filthy Gel

Returning home at the close Of day,

And by my side delights to stay
who sets for me my easy chair,
Prepares the room with neatest care
And lays my slippers ready there?
who regulates the kitchen fire
And piles the blazing fuel higher
And bids me draw my chair still higher?
When sickness comes to rack my Frame
And grief disturbs my troubled brain,
who sympathizes with my pain?

A Tasteful Bed.

A pr stty and inexpensively furnished bedroom has plain white mating on the floor and pale rose cartridge paper on the walls. The furniture was bought ''in the white" and enameled by the girl occupant of the room in white, with here and there thread of gold, an idea carried out by the narrow white iron bedstead with brass trim mings. Bookshelves were put up around the room by a carpenter and their edges enameled to match the furniture, while from a slender brass rod hang draperies in faint rose color and dull blue silkilene. The pictures which adorn the walls are etchings and photographs and very simply fr.med. There is very pretty wicker reclining chair, and table. Not a thing in the room is elegant or expensive, but its effect is so charming that one cannot enter it without pleasure Philadelphia Press.

Spirited Debate at Denver Over the Politi-
 cal Programme.
 DENVER, Col, Dec. 15.-On the as- sembling of the convention of the American Federation of Labor at 10 o'clock the political programme, |" which was submitted by the last con vention to the various unions to be act ed upon by them and then by the fed eration was taken up. It was as fol. lows:
 Whereas, The trade unionists of Great Brit ain have. by the light of experience and the logic of progress, adopted the principle of in- dependent labor politics as an auxiliary to their economic action; and,
 Whereas, Such action has resulted in the most gratifying success; and,
 Whereas Such independent labor politics are based upon the following, programme to-wit:
 First-Compulsory education.
 Second-Drect legislation.
 Third-A legal eight hour work day.
 Fourth-Sanitary inspection of work shops, mines and homes.
 Fifth-Liability of employers for injury to health, body or life.
 Sixth-The abolition of the sweating system. Eighth-The municipal ownership Of street cars and gas and electric plants for public dis tribution Of light, heat and power.
 Ninth-The naturalization of teleg raphs telephones, railroads and mines.
 Tenth-The ownership by the, people Of all means of production and distribution.
 Eloventh-The principal of referendum in all legislation. Therefore
 Resolved, That the convention hereby in- dorse this political action of our British com- rades, and, Resolved, That this programme and basis of a political movement be and is hereby submit- ted for the consideration Of the labor organiza- tions of America. with the request that thelr delegates to the next annual convention of the American Federation of Labor be instructed on this most important subject.
 After a spirited discussion, at 12 o'clock the previous question was called for and the roll call resulted in the striking out of the preamble by vote of l, ,365 to sol. A vote was then taken on plank one, without debate. It was adopted. The convention decided to consolidate blanks two and eleven, making the plank read: Direct legis- lation through the referendum" It was adopted.

TOO MUCH SALARY.
How It Was a Positive Disadvantage to 2
 Hard-Worling Clerk.

a
 Working Clerk.
 The salary of a clerk is at once a curse and blessing. according as he uses it. If he spends every cent of it, knowing he is going to have just so much to spend. it is curse; but if he guides his expenditures so that he shall save so much every year, then it is blessing for him, for it enables him to regulate his wants There are men, men of mature years, men of families, who look upon a salary as figure that they are expected to spend yearly; an increase of salary means an increase in expenditure, and though it would seem an easy matter to cut off some of the extras should the salary grow smaller, in reality it is by no means easy. When one has indulged in lux ury long enough he begins to consider it necessity.
 I knew a man who, on salary of nine hundred dollars a year, raised family and bought and paid for com fortable little home. A change in the firm he was with benefited him by an increase m salary, anu eventually lI reached the sum of fifteen hundred dollars year. One would think that if he had been able to live on nine hundred dollars he ought to save a snug sum yearly on fifteen hundred dollars; but he did nothing of the kind; The increased salary enabled him to get horse, his wife more expensive bonnets, and his daughter piano and music teacher, and the truth was he found it harder work to make both ends meet than he had in the old days. And when his affairs were probated last spring his entire property consist ed of house and lot he had paid for when he was working for, nine hundred dollars year.-Hardware.

OE8S CONVICTED.
The American Railway Union President
 Found Guilty of Contempt.


 Found Guilty of Contempt.
 CHIcAGo, Dec. IS. - Guilty as charged" was the finding announced to-day by United States Circuit Judge William Woods against President Eu- gene V. Debs and all the directors of the American Railway union, accused of contempt of court in violating the strike injunction last summer.
 When Judge Woods had concluded his opinion he asked whether the defend- ants had anything to say, and At torney Darrow, representing the de- fendants, asked that his clients might retire for a consultation. After brief recess the strike leaders filed back into court, ranging themselves before the bench. Attorney Darrow, speaking for them, said they had no wish to make separate speeches, but felt that they had done no wrong. The at torney advised the court that Director McVane, one of the defendants, was out of the city during the strike. A lengthy argument between attorneys followed over the proposition to dis criminate in McVane's favor which the court terminated by suspending sentence on him.
 In sentencing the other defendants Judge Woods said punishment should be neither vindictive nor trivial. These men were in willful contempt, under what legal advice he should like very much to know. These men were the landnrG n n of Iny breakers, and were responsible as lead CTS Ignorant men who followed them had been punished. Debs was more re- sponsible than any other. He was a man of marked ability and power over men and he (the judge) felt constrained to discriminate between him and the others. The punishment against all months in jail, and against Debs six months.
 The defendants did not appear par. ticularly crushed by the punishment. Debs whispered few words to his sis. ter, who sat near, and they both laughed heartily. Howard and Hogan both exchanged smiling glances and Keliher grasped his attorneys hand and appeared to offer congratulations. It was evident that all had expected much more severe sentences, and all wore looks of relief
 The court announced that the pun ishment was not to take effect for ten days, in which time the defendants at torneys will prepare an appeal. The prospective prisoners, after short con sultation with their attorneys, left the court room.
 The defendants with their official positions in the American Railway union are: President, Debs; vice presi' dent, Howard; secretary, Keliher; treasurer, Rogers, and directors, Burns Elliott, McVane, Hogan and Goodwin.
 The debate that followed was spirited especially when the question of social ism came up.
