LONGING FOR THE DAY.
Shoe and Leather Men Looking For
ward With Pleasure to Their Outing.

The shoe and leather fraternity of the
city and State are looking forward to the
annual excursion Of the Narragansett Shoe
and Leather Club with the liveliest antici-
patton. Last year the jolliest outing OF
the series was given which included
street parade, sail down the
river To Crescent Park and special din
ner, supplemented by trip to Narragan-
sett Pier and a stay of an hour at the
famous watering place, where they were
entertained by Treasurer jameson at
the Rockingham and wound up
with being photographed by Reck-
of 500, including representative manufac-
turers, jobbers and dealers from all parts
of New England, and is in fiourishipg
condition. The executive committee con-
sists of President A. 3. Foster
of Boston, Secretary +. IL.
Ballou, and Treasurer .. &.
jameson of this city. Secretary Ballou
has always been the moving spirit in these
summer reunions, and he has fixed upon
the date of Tuesday, August z. The Ma
tional Band has been engaged and the re-
fusal OF steamer obtained. No
definite decision has been arrived at as to
the form OF the reunion and the place, but
ii is hinted that the customary street
parade will be given in the morning and
that an excursion will be taken to some
resort down the river, where the club
and its guests may take exclusive
possession for the day and enjoy them
selves as fancy may dictate. This program
is something of a departure from that OF
previous celebrations, but il Is regarded
az possessing more attractive features and
the plan win probably meet with the ap-
proval of the majority OF the club.

STATE HOUSE ROBBED.
Burglars Had High Old Time in Leg
isIative Hall.

The State House on Benefit street was
broken into last night and about $40 in
money and 800 worth of postage stamps
were taken. The thieves effected an en-
trance by prying open a window on the
North Court street side. Night watch
man Anthoney b. Pierce discovered
the robbery at $50 o'clock this
morning, while making his rounds, when
he found that the desks in Secretary Ben
nett's Office had been pried open and the
contents scattered around in promiscuous
confusion. From these desks the robbers
took the money and stamps, overlooking
several checks in their hurry.
Things were dash he'd hither and thither
in the search for more wealth, and the
hunt extended through the halls occupied
by the Senate and House. The watchman
knew nothing of the operations of the
thieves while they were working. Detec-
tive Parker was notified and is working
on the case.

CRISIS IS NEAR.
Vandalism and BIoodshed in
the Streets of Chicago.
Mayor Hopkins Takes Action--Strikers'
Side Of Situation Explained by 0ebs.


CHICAGO, July 6-The sun went down
yesterday on by far the most turbulent
and critical day thus far In the I'M
parallslsd railroad strike and boycott.
When It opened, there was a general feel
ing that It's passing would go far toward
clearing the atmosphere, IL, indeed. IL did
not practically lift the embargo on COM
merce which has had the city In its grip
for the past woek. That expectation was
chiefly based on the presence of federal
troops in the most dangerous districts.
Looking at the situation at the close of
the day, however. 1t must be confessed
that the hope indulged in at the opening
I'm this regard has not been justified. The
troops were few in numbers at best, and
when they were divided into squads and
distributed at points, separated by very
considerable distances, 1t soon became
evident that their prestige as overawing
bodies had been dissipated at the same
time.
Instead Of disappearing before the faces
Of the veterans, as was expected they
would do, the turbulent thousands
surged about the little band OF soldiers,
jeered and hooted at them. cast vile
epithets at them and literally played
at will and generally rendering the en-
barge In the military district more
effective, il possible, than before.
The throngs OF strikers did not resist
Uncle Sans police. Again and again,
when there were thousands OF them about
a train, which IL was sought to move,
they gave way like water before the
levelled bayonets of single company of
infantry. or the trampling Of a single
squad Of cavalry.
Vandalism by Strikers.
Like water, too, they closed in again at
q point just beyond. They burned
switches, derailed freight cars in front OF
the slow moving trains, and played all
sorts OF railroaders' tricks with which the
soldiers were unacquainted. Thus it was
that the troops at the stock yards. in per-
severance and patience. spent the entire
day In vain endeavor to get one train
load of dressed beef out of sight of the
starting point.
Another and more pleasant thing this
experience showed, and that was the ad-
mirable GOODNESS, self-poise ane discipline
of the troops throughout an exasperating

was pricked by a bayonet, which argues
that with force enough the soldiers would
have done the work which was expected
of them. The quality was there; merely
che quantity was lacking.
Aside from the immediate neigh bor-
heed where the troops were operating,
there was plenty of excitement and dis
order. Great mobs gathered on the Lake
Shore, Rock Island, Alton and Western
Indiana tracks. and proceeded to obstruct
them by overturning box cars. breaking
switches and the like. At one point they
set fire 70 a switch tower and an inter
locking switch box, though the flames

UNDER MARTIAL LAW
Chicago Will Be Placed II a Riot
Breaks Out Today.
Ru The Associated Pres.

CHICAGO, July 6.-The million and one
half OF people residing in this great me-
tropolis rose from their beds this morning
with feelings of anxious expectancy,
for the occurrences OF the past
twenty four hours can only be likened
to those OF the Commune. Anarchy
and violence were rampant. Thousands
of angry men and shrieking women made
reckless by seeming immunity from
punishment gathered quickly at a score
OF points several miles apart, and
while squads OF regulars held at
bay the vociferous and cursing swarms
OF the law breakers at one point, another
at another point out of sight of the
guards. The weirdness OF the scene was
intensified all night by the lurid
glare from the tremendous confiagration
raging among the great white palaces OF
the Worlds fair, where this morning. 3
sun revealed desolate picture. Jackson
Park Is but broad expanse OF shoulder
ing blackened ruins and twisted shapes
OF iron.
Railroad yards over the southern half
of the city are blocked here and there by
wrecked and overturned cars. Tracks

frogs and switches; signal and

violence at the hands Of riotous mobs
commerce is paralyzed and while thou
sands are hungry, tons OF choice meats

want OF ice TO preserve and motive power

The grim spectre OF war hovers over all.
Back and fourth the uniformed regu-
lars marched, the sun glancing from their
cleaning bayonets, bither and thither
fit squads Of cavalry, and at various
points are placed the artillery, the gaping
mouths OF the guns seeming hungry for
victims. What the day may bring forth
Is problematical.

 HEAVY TRAVEL.
 The passenger travel for the past week has been very heavy and continues to in- crease.
 During the past week the Alabama Great Southern has been compelled to run some of it's passenger trains in two sections on account of the heavy passenger traffic.
 Yesterday afternoon Louisville and Nashville south bound No. 8 was made up of two sections, one of which carried northwestern people hunting homes in the south, and last night No. was also run in two sections, OF account Of heavy traffic. Not only is this being done, but all the trains are heavily loaded as they go and come,

nocrnRs DISAGREE.

Doctors of finance dIsagrse as we'll as doctors of medicine. The Boston Adver- tiser, which rauks high as an authority on finance, says: ''The objection to the Bal timore plan is that it proposes to substitute credit money issued by banks for credit money issued by the government. Perhaps the banks consider themselves as sound as the govern ment; but the people do not, and will not regard purely credit money issued by banks with the confidence extended to the national currency" A Birmingham banker says that under the Baltimore plan the government guarantees the currency and that there is no more danger Of insta- bility under that plan than under the pres ent system, in which the government guar antees the currency. Another bank pres
 ident says that under the Presidents plan,
 which in it's main features is the Baltimore plan, the government is relieved of all responsibility for the currency. Ex- Comptroller of the Currency Hep burn says; "rhe currency proposed by the Baltimore plan is secure beyond question,
 for the government is required to redeem at once notes of failed banks.' In his re- port on December Comptroller Eckels recommends plan similar to that of the Baltimore plan. In speaking of the notes issued by the banks he says: 'The treas ury should be relieved of all responsibility for the notes issued except to enforce the laws enacted to make their value stable by receiving deposits and redeeming from the assets of the banks themselves the notes Of banks that cease to exist. This would practically take the treasury out of the banking business and relieve 1t of the necessity of main taining gold reserve.'

THE METHODIST COLLEGE.

The North Alabama Conference appointed a committee to make the necessary arrange lnents for the building of the Methodist Male College in North Alabama. No doubt this college will be located in or near Bir- mingham. Institutions of learning now seek the cities. The idea formerly pre- vailed that male college should be located in the country and as far as possible from the city. This was the idea that governed Dr. Tutwiler and MT. Connolly, Alabama's two most noted educators, about a score of years ago, and hence they located the Green Springs College and Stonewall Institute out in the backwoods. It was thought at that time that the influence of city cortami- mated the young men. No such idea pre- vais now. All the successful colleges are in the towns and cities. It has been found that urban influence is helpful rather than harmful. The young men in A city college never indulge in that deDauchery which students in a remote college engage in when they do get to town. The cowboy that goes to town once or twice a year plunges into prolonged debauch that the town man never dreams of.
