DEys CALLED DOWN.

EMPLOYED EoN-UNIoN MEN TO MAKE HIS
 MUSIC.
 The union musicians of Chicago are on to Debs, whom Sovereign helped in his wild strike that cost so many men their jobs. Says the Chicago Inter- Ocean of July 3l:
 The Chicago Musical society has griev- ance against Eugene V. Debs.
 The defeated heavyweight champion ot labor decided to go 10 1erre Haute last Wednesday,. He thought it would be in keeping with his position to go to the raii- road station under the escort of band, At the same time the music would help drive away the memories of the soJourn h jail. There was to be no drum major, TOT tt he labor leader wanted to be the star of Hhe occasion.
 t A band was engaged and Debs made his Fexit from the city exactly as he had Aplanned. He sat in his carriage, bowed to the right and left to imaginary crowds, and the band played the Washington Post' and "High School Cadets'' several times Between Uhlich's hall and the Polk street sdepot. 1. But as to that grievance. The departure of Debs, the parade and the music would have been entirely proper but for one thing.
 The band was q non-u union organization.
 Not only this, but Debs violated con- tract with the Chicago Musical society in order to secure the services of the non un- 
 of the musical society has to say about the matter:
 Wednesday morning J. J. Tighe and Charles Naylor, representing Debs, came to J. F. Mum, president of our society, and made the following contract:
 " CHICAGO, Ill. , July 26.-J. F. Mum: Be at Uhlich's hall at 3:30 o'clock, or as near that hour as possible, with ten men for parade, for which we will pay you when work is completed, for two hours or less, $33. "'J. J. TIGHE,
 :CHARLEs NAYLoR.'
 'sTighe and Naylor are members of the American Railway union and represented Debs in tie transaction. Tighe is presi- dent of Council No. 429, American Railway union, and Naylor is also an American Railway union man. The two left MT. Mum and said they were going to the mayors office to get permit for the pa rade. They came back in little while and | said the permit had been refused and that | no band would be necessary. As matter | of fact, they secured the Chicago Zouave | band, q non- union organization, and de- | liberately violated their contract with us to | do so.
 '"That is the way it goes. As soon as Debs begiHs to employ labor he does ex- actly what Pullman, the man he is fight ing, does-he goes to the cheapest market | to get his labor. He sends his men to us to | get our price and then they go to another organization to get their music for less | money'

A Running Delegate.

He is a member of the union now, and they can afford to laugh about it. but the walking delegate will always be somewhat afraid of him. He landed in Chicago from the far west, and being reduced in finances returned to his old trade of painting. He put on a white jacket, but underneath it he continued to wear his belt and brace of cannon. In taking the job he had made no inquiries, and he did not know that Q strike was on and that he was against the strikers. So he daubed merrily away from his low scaffold until he heard gruf voice say:
 ''Get down from therer'
 "Because whyf"
 ''Never mind. You stop work on that job.
 Not by no manner of means and don't trife.
 Say, will you como downf'
 ''Yes, " and throwing back his jacket he whipped out the two gigantic instruments of death.
 The delegate ran four blocks. For three days the scaffold was watched from afar but no one bothered him. Finally he joined the union of his own free will, and when he rises to point of order every one listens to him. Chicago Record.

cbristmns on a Monday.

In the Hafleian manuscripts prophecy
is mentioned showing that If Christmas
day falls on a Monday many disasters are
threatened:
If Christmas day on Monday be,
A great winter that year you'll see,
And full of winds both loud and shrilL
But In summer, truth to tell
High winds shall there be and strong,
Full of ;cmpests lasting long,
While battles they shall multiply,
And great plenty Of beasts shall die.
With regard to this last prophecy, the
Pail Nall Gazette pointed out in 1865 how
euriously correct were the events of that
year, following the falling of Christmas day
on Monday in 1865. 1t was remarked OF
three of the prophecies that the wind lasted
in 1865 from January to May; that war
was ended by the battle of Sadowa, when
the Prussians and Austriahs were in con
fict, and that the cattle plague was in full
swing, being legacy of the outburst oil the
rinderpest of 1865 Manchester Times
