,..--.Isdlar Medals.

Coming to tho great European wars of the revolutionary period we might expect a great crop of medals for our brave soldiers. But no; there are gold medals for superior officers, but for the die hards of the peAin- sular war, who often by sheer hard fight ing, redeemed the blunders of their com- manders, absolutely nothing. As for tho generals, Wellington complained that they were too thickly hung with medals. There is Q splendid gold medal for Maida, the very finest of all our military medals, of which only IF were Issued.
 Talavera was acknowledged in gold medals to commanding officers. And Vel ington suggests that only one medal should be issued to an officer, and that fu- ture actions should be engraved upon it. When four actions had been scored, tho medal should be replaced by cross to be worn at the buttonhole. Decorations worrI around the neck are awkward to ride in, "| says the matter of fact commander. Fred erick of York carried out tho suggestion with characteristic difference. The gold cross-Maltese, with lion statant in the center, and suspended by a gold laurel wreath-was issued to be worn by general officers around the neck; others at the buttonhole All the Year Round.

 I went to Pratt mines yesterday and saw the convicts in the mines. l also learned something about the check sys- tenn. It is a curse. He then referred to the check system and the charges for goods at the pluck-me" stores, as he termed the commissaries.
 In a vivid word picture he told of the miles of tenement houses wherein the notorious sweating system was hold ing sway in the great metropolis. He described the manner in which disease became spread abroad by the working people in the sweat shops sleeping on the garments on which they were work ing.
 He then told how the organization known as the Garment Workers of America had been brought about. He also said a New York firm. Hacl1ett Carhart & Co.,, were straining every nerve to down this organization. He 1nH hi fr,-t his firm l md their goods. and asked them to look for union labels on all clothing bought by them.
 Speaking of strikes, he said they should be avoided as much as possible. He did not denounce them however, but advocated keeping them down as much as possible. The best way, he said, to avoid strikes, was by thorough organiza- ton. Wherever employers had thorough ly organized men they were rather in- clined to avoid strikes.
 He made a vigorous plea as finale for trades unions. and said it was neces- sary for all working men to get together.
 Resolutions Adopted.
 After the speaker had closed the labor ing men were requested to remain in the hall for consultation. The following reso- lution was adopted unanimously:
 Resolved by the working men of Bir- mingham in mass meeting assembled ihdb we pACN6C oul SoPpOiN lO thV Ciiie0o Garment Workers of America in their defensive struggle against the clothing manufacturers, Hackett, Carhart & Co. l; and
 Resolved That we call upon the deal CTS of this city to cooperate with us in this matter; and
 Resolved, That we shall call upon our respective organizations to send conl- mittees to the local dealers for the pur- pose of securing their aid in this just effort to abolish the abominable sweat ing shop system in the clothing trade.

No Raid at Harlem,

Chicago, May 13-Harlem opened to- day but the civic federation made no attempt at a raid, though the foreign and local books were running. Attorney Murray of the civic federation was at the track and in an unguarded moment made the statement: q don't believe that there will be a raid; so far as know the federation proposes to allow Harlem to run without molestation.'
 On being pressed for reason MT. Mur- ray declined to reply. Horsemen express the opinion that the reason for this &C., tion is the threat of the race track off, the anti-gambling act. The day was raw and stormy, heavy hail falling just before the first race, and as natural consequence the crowd was small The races were ordinary, many of the best horses being scratched on account of the heavy going.

RAGING INTELLIGENCE.
CLOSE OF THE MEET AT MORRIS PARK.
The Bookmakers Satisfied With the New Order Judge Morrow Wins, So Does Halma.
 No Arrests at Chicago.

Morris Park, N. Y, May 13.-This was the second and last day of the National Steeplechase associations spring meet ing in this state. The two-day meeting has been a pronounced success. It has been decidely interesting from many points of view. The first and foremost reason was the fact that it was the first racing under the new law. It was con- fidently expected that without public bookmaking or pool selling racing could not exist This has been proved beyond doubt to be incorrect. There was bet ting galore at Morris park, both on Sat urday and today. The bookmakers, however, instead of occupying stands in the betting ring stood on the lawn in front of the grand stand. They +-held pads or memorandum books in their hands. They told only inquirers whom they knew what they would lay against various horses. If the price suited an entry was made and shown to the bet tor No money changed hands. The set dement's were made in the city at time and place agreed upon. The bookmakers expressed themselves as pleased at the new order of affairs. A club, which Will be a sort of clearing house, is in process of formation. It is intended that the organization will be a second Tatters- alls.
 The business conducted at the track today was of a subdued nature. No one outside of the rings could have told that betting was in progress. The racing and steeplechasing, if the second race is excepted, was of an encouraging char acter. The maiden Steeple chase was farce. There were only two starters Trillion and Ruth $. Each came to grief and each refused the Liverpool. At one time Ruth $. was leading by nearly mile. She, however. refused and baked at nearly every obstacle, and Trillion caught up with her and finally won the race amid great applause under a strong pull
 Judge Morrow was a prohibitiVe la vorite for the Knickerbocker hurdle handicap The old fellow won the race practically from flag-fall to finish
 The races were well attended today, but the National Steeple Chase associa- ition announced that it had come to stay and that a big cross country meeting would be held in the fall and spring of this and next year. There was enough money cleared from the admission fees on Saturday to leave handsome profit for the association.

directors for the ensuing year was

by the President for that purpose
1t would seem from what happened
yesterday, however that it is not sat

J. A. Woodson desires to have us say
that he had no knowledge of the oppo-

of Commerce election, and that the use
of his name as a candidate for Vice
President of the chamber was used
without consulting him. He knew
nothing of it until the oppOsitiOn ticket
appeared in print. He says he is not and
will not be a candidate against the reg
ular nominee.
