/ 12:3O in charge of Deputy Sheriff Walk
er and Attorney Herrick. He admits his
i identity and will return to Kansas at
! once. The case is one of great general
! interest because of a reward of $4,000

Urges Pacific Settlements.
LONDON, Sept. 2.-In a long letter
from Mr.. Andrew Carnegie which is
published in the Times today Mr. Car
negie urges that the paper exert its in
fuence to bring out pacific solution of
the Irish question. Such a course Mr..
Carnegie says, would probably command
support in Canada, Australia, and all the
large cities populated by our race
abroad.
Mr. Carnegie then says that the Ian
guage of the call for convention of
Irish Americans at Chicago, shows
the despair and disappointment of men
who see in the advent of the Conserva-
tive party of Great Britain to power no
hope for justice for Ireland.
The letter then gives Carnegie's views
in favor of home rule at considerabI
length and concludes with saying: "The
question is not only British one, but
unfortunately an American one as well.

a Big Parade Although Some Orders
Didn't Take Part.
BOSTON, Sept 2.-Organized labor to-
day observed its ninth annual legal hol
iday in the city of Boston with its usual
parade and with almost innumerable
sports and amusements. At an early
hour marching bands, escorting labor
unions from various parts of the city, and
crowds hurrying to the depots and
wharves bound for the various amuse-
ment resorts, filled the streets.
The spectacle of the day was the pa
rade of the labor organizations of the
city and vicinity, in which over 5000
men participated, notwithstanding the
fact that owing to the late severe business
depression a number of the larger or
ganizations which have had under con-
sideration measures providing for their
idle members did not appear in their
lines because of the expense involved.

MRS. BOOTH SEVERE
She CalIa the New Woman That "RevOIt-
ing Creature"

NEW York, Sept 2.-The address of
Mrs. Ballington Booth before the Saliva
ton Army now encamped at Prohibition
Park, S. L, on the "New Woman" ia at
tracing considerable attention here.
Mrs. Booth last night said in part:
"The revolving creature, gaudily attir-
ed in mans clothing, possessed of strange
notions about the home, wifehoOd and
motherhood, scorned and Stunned by the
men, is not my idea of the new woman.
The new woman according to the popu-
lar acceptance, speaks of children as
'brats,' says they tire and aggravate
her, and she bestows all her love upon
some ugly little pug nosed dog, which
she carries in one of her many pockets.
She is also a man-hater, and in going
forth to seek emancipation and a world
wide rule for her sex, she declares it to
be her mission to down and belittle him.
As for religion, it is too simple for her
strong mind She is entirely lndepen-
dent and free thinker.
"If you were to ask me what the Sal
vatiou Army would do with the new wo-
man." continues Mrs. Booth, 81 reply.
We would first of all take her dress and
change it. Out of her huge sleeves we
would make dresses for the ragged chill
8
worn by her, which 1 forbear to men,
tion. we would give to the sex to
whom they belong. Her books
filed with filth, we would throw
into the fire, along with her cigarettes
and chewing gum, and after this think
we would prescribe strong willed, sell
assertive husband, who would teach her
that there is something to honor in the
other sex.
II believe in the advanced woman. I
believe she is capable of making good
mother and wife as though she had
never stepped upon the platform or been
admitted to the bar. Let the education
of women go on, only while you are
training the mind do not forget to devel-
op the heart"
Mrs. Booth said, however, that in Den-
yer a corps of mounted Cavalry women
had been organized and were doing
effective work in the mountains OF
Colorado under the leadership of Staff
| Captain Blanche Cox. There the army
carries on much of its work among the
miners, and the use of horses was found
to be almost a necessity.

Most Of the Unions go to COney Island
Anarchists Hear Most.
NEW YORK, Sept 2-The weather is
perfect to day, and there is hardly any
labor organization in the city but has
mapped out for itself a parade an
outing. This year, the latter manner of
spending the holiday predominated. An
excursion to COney Island was deemed
the better way to spend the holiday.
To offset this however, there were ar
ranged the parade of the striking gar
ment workers, and the demonstration at
Mon Square of the Knights of Labor.
The anarchists went out to MantzePs
park, Staten Island, to see John Most
and Claud Zimmerman wave the red
