THE AMERICAN BEAUTY.

The Origin of q Handsome and Popular
Rose That Brought Luck To Its Discov-

Washington Post: There Is an inter-

American Beauty. 1t was first grown
N Washington, and here it attained its
renown. The late Hon. George Ban

scholar was one of the first amateur
rose growers in America. Every year
he imported cuttings from the leading

IF Prussia-when old Kaiser Wilhelm
was king-allowed the American his

might fancy in the royal conserva-
tories.

means of settling trade disputes as n
result of the American railway strike

THE LABOR COMMISSION
Debs on the Witness Stand This
Morning.
Thinks the Great strike Was J~usti0able-
Doesn't Like Compulsory Arbitra-
tion-President Gompers
Gives Testimony.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2l.-President Debs of
the A. X. u. vas recalled ut the begin
ming of today's session of the national
labor commission.
Debs was asked the question: "Do
you believe it j%ustihable to tie up the
obtain redress for n comparatively
small body of men?' To
winch he replied, That de-
ponds, for IL small grievance,
| do not thiul, it would be justiiable
for n affecting n large number of
men, | think it would be-"
Commissioner Wright read n com
munication which suggests tina labor
and capital each be required to file a
bond To be forfeited in case of refusal
to submit any question TO arbitration.
Witness did not like the plan. He said
he was opposed to anything like com
pulsory arbitration. Debs said he had
no personal knowledge of a black list.
He her devoted his attention to deny
ing statements made by Genera Man
agcr st. John, first denying that there
were only 200 members of the Amer
lean Railway union Oh the Rock
Island system. 1--WE had u larger
membership than that" he said.
Samuel Gompcrs, president of the
American Federation of Labor, next
took the stand. He said the member
ship of his organization was 550,0Go q.
Gompers told in detail about the meet
ing at the Briggs house at which
action was taken on the American
Railway union strike.
I'VE decided at this meeting" said
Gompers, ''thut since the prime minis
ter of England had deemed 1t ~expedient
to use the great powe" of England TO
end the coal strike it would not be be-
meath the dignity of the president of
the United States to take some action
in this unhappy crisis. To this end we
telegraphed him asking him either TO
come 10 Chicago or send a representa-
tive. To this telegram the president
did not deign to reply. The American
Federation of labor deemed IL mex
pedient at this time to recommend II
strike"
Gompers read an address to the pub
lie explaining why the organization of
which he is the president refused to
order a strike. lie referred TO the
town of Pullman as ''Pullnan's Phara-
saical Paradise" Asked how he would
solve the labor problems, Gompers said:
$50 long as present conditions exist
there viii be strikes. | do not join in
the general denunciation of strikes. !
regard strikes rs the protest of labor
against being bound in slavery. !
think government ownership of rail
roads practicable
Gompers presented many objections
to arbitration. He under no circum-
stances favored compulsory arbitration.
In regard to i~njunctions by courts,
Gompers thought courts often made
law where statutes were silent. When
Gompers finished, the commission ad-
iourned until Monday.

CALIFORNIA WINE TRUST.
Controls More Than Eighty Per Cent of the
Vineyards.

New YORK, Aug. 25.-Several far
seeing C~alifornians have lately taken
steps to form a wine trust, or, as they
put it. n syndicate, TO control and reg
ulate the price of the product of the
California vineyards. The proposed
trust differs from the eastern monop-
olies I'm hat it has been started by
small growers.
There are nearly 800, 900 acres of
vines in California. and tho value of the
property and the cellars is estimated at
nearly $50, 900, 900. For six or seven
years past the vineyards have produced
yearly about 1000, 600 gallons of wine
in excess of the demand, and prices
dropped TIL it was not profitable
rot in the vineyards or were fed
to the hogs. For three years 60 per
CEN OF the have STOOD IN dread
of the sheriff, Mt least they say SO.
Then they quarreled with the large
San Francisco dealers and prices went
still lower.
A few months ago, however. the vi
ticultural society of California. ap-
pointed a commission &c devise some
scheme by which the public might be
induced to drink more wine and pay a
higher price for it. The commission
has persuaded so per cent Of the wine
growers in California to sign n con
tract to sell the entire product of the
grapes TO the commission, or to any
syndicate they should assign the con-
tract to, during n period of five years.
The schedule of prices was arranged at
an advance OF 100 per cent over the fig
ures ruling today. Twenty per cent Of
the growers are still holding out, but
it is expected that they will soon fall
into line.
When arrangements had been COM
pleted thus far it became necessary TO
come to an understanding with the ten
great San Francisco dealers who vir-
tually control the market. After a few
conferences the syndicate was formed,
with n capital stock OF $40, 900, 900,
which agreed 10 take all Of the grow
ers' contracts. The firms in the syndi-
cate are Arpad, Haraszthy & Co., G.
Cary & Co., Kohler & Won Benson,
Kohler & Frohling, the Napa Valley
Wine company, s. Lachman & Co. and
B Dreyfus & Co. 1t is stated that
since the formation OF the trust vine
yard property has increased 100 per
cent in value.

The Western Torpedo Boat Begins Hen
Ocean Voyage.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The torpedo
boat Ericsson sailed from New Orleans
on Thursday on her long trip to New
London, Conn. 1t is probable that IL
the machinery works well, her first
stop will be at Pensacola, Fla, or Port
Royal, S. c., where coal will be- taken
on and the voyage continued. Before
leaving New Orleans the fresh water
crew, who had brought the boat down
the mississippi from Dubuque. were
laid off. and q crew of salt ate sail
ors were supplied for the ocean voyage.
1t Is the intention of the contractors,
however, animated by a spirit ct local
pride, TO run the vessel on her trial trip
in Long Island sound with n crew made
up entirely OF western men, most of
them who have seen the ocean The
navy department has no control over
the vessel until she makes q successful
trial trip, so they will await tho X

prehension.

a panic. The japanese retreated in
disorder TO the shore, where the adj

Facts on Curve Pitching.

There are some people still left whs
refuse to believe that q baseball can
travel out OF the straight line between
the pitchers box and the home plate on
its way to the catcher. 1t has been
proved again and again that a ball can
be curved" by a now well-known ex-
pertinent. Two stakes are set up SO
that the pitcher standing behind one
can not hit a mark OH the left side OF
the other in n straight line. the ball
passing to the right of the first. Indeed,
q short while ago, a noted college pitcher
was offered a thousand dollars by an old
gentlemen of his acquaintance if'he
could prove to his satisfaction that a
baseball could be pitched in q curve.
The pitcher ut once set up two stakes in
his back yard and curved the ball around
them in fine style. But the old gentle
man insisted that the whole thing was
an optical illusion, aud is NC more con-
WINGED than ever.
Every boy knows how hard it Is to
bat an "~out-curve" or a "droP" and after
he has struck out a few times wants no
one to prove to him there is such a
thing as curve pitching. There is little
use in trying to explain the theory OF
this performance heie, a. many scien-
tifc papers have written on It, which,
after all, would not help a man to toss
q tennis ball. The final twist given the
ball as 1t leaves the hand makes a spin
ming motion. SO that there Is more re-
sistance by the air on one side or the
other, and the ball Is forced out Of Q
straight line by unequal pressure on
enc Of Its sides. - odeyNs Magazine.

Socratic method of argument, cast aside
his raiment and reached for Socrates,

BARS OUT SOLDIERS.
Chicago Union Men Will Not March with
the Militia on labor Day.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-The already well
developed prejudice against the state
militia has grown among labor unions
until now nothing but an entire dissas-
ISOLATION of the two will suffice. The
Clothing Cutter and Trimmers' a~ssocja-
ton has annulled n contract by one OF
its executive committee with n portion
of the Second Regiment band for SER
vice on labor day and c. g. Aulborg,
the secretary of that union, is author
ity for the statement that no person in
any way connected with the national
guard car be of any service to the
union, nor can he become IA member OF
the association.
He even went further in a heated
moment and declared that n boycott
had been declared by all labor unions
against the unions. He said, too. that
all members of the Tradenand Labor
assembly and all other labor organiza-
tions of Chicago who had served the
state or government at the time Of the
recent strike would at once be expelled
or dropped from the rolls in "a quiet
way.
