Michael Angelo.

It is related of Michael Angelo that he was as unsparing of others as of him. self, and his criticisms, though held to be without appeal, were often fearfully sought by the recipients
 In one case a painter notorious for plagiarisms had executed a historical picture in which every figure of impor- tance was copied from some other artist, SO that very little remained to himself.
 It was shown to Angelo by a very in. innate friend. who begged his opinion of it.
 'Excellently done," said Angelo, ''only at the day of judgment when all bodies will resume their own limbs again, do not know what will become of that historical painting. for there will be nothing left of it"-Youth's Companion.

RAILROAD KING AND LABOR LEADER.

John NJ. Egan and Eugene V. Debs. Rival
 Leaders In the Great Pullman Struggle.
 The great Pullman railway boycott has drawn a good deal of attention to the opposing leaders in that controversy namely, John NJ Egan, president of the General Managers association, and E. V. Debs, the head of the American Railway union. Both of these gifted generals are comparative strangers to the general public, although Mir. Egan has long been favorably known to rail way officials. and for some years MT. Debs has been conspicuous among labor leaders.
 MT. Egan was born in Springfield, Mass, March 26, 1S4S. He moved to Illinois when boy and entered the IT. linois Central railway shops at Amboy as an apprentice. In short time he worked his way into the clerical depart ment and at 9 was clerk in the freight department He was transferred to the engineer s department, where he received

 Tho recent railroad strikes and ticups anyc opportunity for a repetition of the old assertion that there is friendly feel ing between tho labor organizations of the country and tho baseball players who make their living professionally. One western writer of prominence went so far as to dc clare that this bond of frat t~rnalIsm was so strong that the striking raiiruadcrs would sec to 1t that the National league teams not only had transportation furnished to them from city to city, but also wcrc pro vided with the luxury of sleeping cars even of the boycotted Pullman variety, when the unboycottcd kind could not be commanded
 do not believe there is the least foun- dation for this ridiculous theory. Why should there be any sympathy between laboring men and ball playerss The latter, as a class, arc farther removed from the laboring people than are the majority of the millionaires When ball players arC compelled to give up the profession, they, with few exceptions, do not turn to man ual labor for continued sustenancc. As n rule, their lives have become so used to luxury and idleness that labor is to them what holy water is to the czar of hndcs.
 There is nothing of the laborcr's life about these ball players, with whom we nre asked to believe the striking labor or. ganizations arc in such violent sympathy. They travel over the country in Pullman cars, put up at the best hotels, dress like lords of the universe, wear diamonds with

Thus. says a Boston ex- change. ends the most serious and most dramatic movement among the woman sut fragists to advance their cause It has caused a good deal of strife and some bit ter resentment among the women of New York, and the end is not unlike that which has attended about all the similar movements here in the east of late years. There seems to be no doubt that the ad. verse report of the committee will be in. dorsed by the full convention.
