CHICAGO, July 9.-Hinged upon the
remote contingency that George NJ. Pull
man will within the next twenty four
hours agree to submit to arbitration, or
otherwise settle the difficulty existing
between the Pullman company and its
ex-employes, is the question whether or
not the next twenty-four hours will wit
ness a cessation Of all labor on the part
OF the allied trades not only in Chicago,
but through the country.
Probably never before in the history
of this country was meeting of organ
lied labor called together that was
fraught with more importance than that
which met at hlich's hall last evening.
That all was not harmonious. nOtWith-
standing fiery speeches by Messrs. Sow
ereiRn of the Knights of Labor, Dehs of
the a. r. L., and other labor leaders, is
evidenced by the fact that il was 4
o'clock this morning when the conven-
tion finished balloting on the PROPOSE
ton.
The question was decided in the af-
frmative by an overwhelming vote, how
ever, and the ultimatum propounded
that if Pullman does not reach a definite
underst Auding with his late employees be-
fore Tuesday. the allied trades unions OF
Chicago Will open the ball at Z a. m,
Wednesday by walking out in body.
An idea of the widely diversified in
terests involved in this latest movement
may be gained by a glance at the sub

A TREE CURIOSITY.

From Meehan's Nor thly.
Mrs. La Nance, Pineville, Mo-, T.,
furnishes the following very inter-
esting story:
"Four miles from Pineville, Mo, .,
on the grounds of j. L. Parish, Esq,
is freak of nature so curious that
if l had not seen it with my own
eyes l could scarcely have believed
it possible. On the bank of Elk
river rises a large tree that towers
high above the neighboring trees.
At the ground a solid, buttressed
trunk appears, from s to 10 feet in
diameter. A little higher than a
mans head this high trunk divides
into four lesser trunks, the two
smaller of which are in themselves
fair sized trees, while the other two
are far above the average size
Here comes in the queer part of the
story. OF these divergent trunks,
the two larger ones are respectively
an elm and n sycamore, while the
two smaller ones are an oak and a
sycamore. Above the union of com
mon trunk, each tree in leaf, branch
and bark is normal to its type. The
trunk itself seems one homogeneous
whole. l would not presume to say
that close examination would not
show in the bark from different sec
tions of the trunk those peculiarities
that distinguish the bark of one tree
from that of another, but certainly
these characteristics do not show on
cursory examination, nor are these
lines of jointure visible where the
four trunks coalesce. doubt if any
one can point to a, stranger greater
than th's-two sycamores, an oak
and an elm, all growing from one
common trunk"
This meeting together of four
youthful tree trunks as they thick
ened with age is occasionally seen
but this is an unusually fine illustra
tion. Each tree must, however
form its own bark-that is to say, nc
one of them has been wholly envel-
oped by another. Hence careful
investigation ought to disclose a
slight line where the incurving bark
of each original tree meets.

oLNEY DISCUSSES LABOR UNIONS.

oLNEY DISCUSSES LABOR UNIONS.
The controversy between the
receivers OF the Reading railroad
and such employees as are members
of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men, has prompted an expression
of opinion from Attorney General
Olney in the form of a letter to
Judge Dallas, of the United States
circuit court, before whom the case
is pending. The difficulty between
the two organizations reached a
crisis August last when General
Superintendent Swiegard summoned
before him eleven employees and
notified them they should abandon
the brotherhood as a condition
retaining their places with thu
road company. Vigorous protests
were made against this alternative
and the Brotherhood urged the
receivers to withdraw it. In answer
the receivers on September wrote
''The policy of this company il
well known to be that 1t will mo-
consent to persons in its servic,
that shall owe allegiance to othel
organizations which may have CLAIM
upon them which conflict with thei

SOME THINGS TO LEARN.

From the Detroit Tribune.
Learn to laugh. A good laugh
is better than medicine. Learn how
to tell a story. A well-told story
is as welcome as a sunbeam in a
sickroom. Learn to keep your own
troubles to yourself. The world is
too busy to care for your ills and
sorrows. Learn to stop croaking.
If you cannot see any good in the
world, keep the bad to yourself.
Learn to hide your pains and aches
under a pleasant smile. No one
cares to hear whether you have
the earache, headache or rheuma-
tism. Don't cry. Tears do well
enough in novels, but they are
out of place in real life. Learn
to meet your friends with a smile.
The good humored man or woman is
always welcome, but the dyspeptic
or hypochondriac is not wanted any
where and is n nuisance rs well.

FROM LAWYER TO BREWER.


From the Chicago Record.
Says Mr.. George j. Obermann,
head OF the famous Milwaukee brew
ing company: 81 started out in life
with the intention of being a lawyer,
and firm in that purpose ! entered
the office OF Judge Levi Hubbell, one
of the ablest practitioners in the
Northwest. l had been pegging away
for two years over the law books
when one day Horatio Seymour came
into the office. Judge Hubbell and
he had been schoolmates together at
Canandaigua, N. Y. Happening to
be in Milwaukee on his way to Min
nesota upon political campaign, he
called to see his old friend. Judge
Hubbell was busy just at that mo-
ment with q client, so Seymour sat
down and chatted with me.

he asked.

THE BLACK DINNER GOWN.

Isabel a. Mallon in the Ladies Home Journal.
The black gown, whether it be
plain velvet or some of the richly
figured materials, is always in good
taste, and the woman wearing a we'll
made black gown of suitable material
is properly dressed for the most
elaborate function. Elderly ladies
have long ago concluded that nothing
is SO becoming or SO suitable as black
velvet, made to look even more
elegant by the use of fine lace; and
SO, very many of them adhere
strictly to gown of it, and very often
to one style of making-the prime
esse. Dame Fashion has ordered
that black silk is suitable to all ages
and conditions for a dinner dress
and so combined with lace or made
harmonious with colors it is very
generally seen. Jackets richly
embroidered with gold are liked for
wear over a black satin gown, and
one will tend to make it look very
rich. A woman who goes out a
great deal and always looks well has
had five "ent bodices made to
wear with he. ck satin skirt, and
she expects to be- considered we'll
led woman at every dinner party
I- she attends during the season.

THE WEEK ABROAD.
GENERAL SUMMARY.

GENERAL SUMMARY.
The event which has been awaited
with most concern and foreboding in
Europe for many weeks past has
finally occurred. The Gear Alexan-
der is dead, and the Czar Nicholas is
on the throne. The new car has
not as yet given any pronounced and
unmistakable indication of the policy
that he will pursue. Nevertheless
his conduct during the last weeks of
his fathers illness and his first proc
lamation upon his own accession to
the czarship, coupled with the reports
from all sources as to his disposition
and his alleged inclination toward
the liberal and progressive thought
of western Europe rather than the
conservative and even reactionary
views Of his father, have done much
to allay the fear that all Europe felt,
and with good reason, when first it
was known that the will of Alexander
was no longer to stand as the bulwark
Of peace. ..----
Then, too, the character of Prin-
cess Alice, her firmness in success :
fully resisting the pressure OF the
Russian ecclesiastics who insisted on
her matchmaking her former relig-
ion before being received into the
Greek church, and her German and
English family connections, are
looked upon as additional guarantees
that German and English rather than
French influences will prevail in the
councils of the new czar. Still it is
felt that only the lapse of time and
the gradual unfolding of the czar's
character and policy can give any
reliable basis of judgment as to the
future relations of Russia with the
EST Of the world.
The press Of Europe and America
is by no means unanimous in its ver-
diet upon the late czar and his official
record. To some, indeed apparently
to most, observers he was merely a
man of strong will but of limited in
tellectual equipment as well as linn :
tied opportunity for reforming the
evils of his realm, and therefore he
is accorded the praise due the man
who does on the whole about the
best he can, while to other observers
he was brutal tyrant, in whose
behalf no possible excuse or extenu-
alton can be offered for his failure
to undertake the political reforms
contemplated by his father, or fol
his persecution of the Jews and his
perpetuation of the cruelties oi
Siberia. The calm verdict of history
is yet to be written.
In France the opinion has beer
expressed that by the death o.
Alexander the German emperor hai
been advanced from the second te
the first place in Europe's interna'
tional politics. Europe is now tt
prove the young Gear Nicholas, as Il
has already proved the young
Emperor William, by the first yea
of his reign. There are many anal
ogies between the accession of Mich
) olas now and the accession of William
six years ago.
The Japanese have completed th'
!; investment of Port Arthur and arr
) capturing one outpost after anothe'
of that great stronghold. The Jap
anese army north of the Yalu i
steadily advancing upon Moukden
and is expected to attack the Hol.
City within few days. The lates

The German embassy at Washing

in Berlin that the prohibition of
American cattle by the German
government is not an act of retalia-

This action, it is asserted. would

had not imposed a discriminating

further stated that the embargo will
be raised at the first practicable
congress may do with the sugar
question.
