Flower Mission Day, which was OBJ
served at the 5. IL. of c., at lonia, Sat

the exercises seemed to please the
audience.
Devotional exercises were conducted
by Mrs. @. Waterbury. Fine music
throughout the entire program was
furnished by the inmate choir, the
selection by the colored quartette being
especially worthy of mention. Miss
Blunt and little Sarah Derthick, OF
lonia, each gave recitation which
called forth such loud applause that
both were obliged to respond to an
encore. Miss Mary Stuart, of Grand

and prison work, was next introduced

TROUBLE BETWEEN GOTHAM
TAIL0RS AND CONTRACT
ORS ELIMINATES.
HEBREWS OBSERVE SUNDAY
BY GOING ON STRIKE TO COMPEL
EMPLOYEES TO LIVE UP TO
AGREEMENTS.
Brooklyn, Newark and Browns
Vile Included in the Strike
Order.

NEW YORK, July 2S.-The He
brew clothing makers of this city
today, for the first time, observed
the American Sunday. They were on
strike. Trouble has been brewing be-
tween the tailors and the contract
ors for some time, and today it Gull
minated in the general strike of the
workers, which was forecasted yes
terday. 1t is claimed by the strikers
that $4,000 workers have responded
to the call of the United Brother
hood Of Tailors, and that not only
this city, but Brooklyn, Newark and
Brownsville are affected. The num-
Der out in this city is estimated at
5000. The United Brotherhood of
Tailors had hoped that the strike
might be averted until September,
when the agreement for the year
between the workers and the con-
tractors would expire, and when
work would naturally cease until a
new agreement had been arranged.
The workers assert that the cor
tractors were not willing to wait,
and that now when there is plenty
Of business they wished to force a
strike. They say that the contractors
broke through the terms of the eX-
listing agreement by refusing to pay
their hands on the day specified,
and that they, to better ensure the
success of their scheme to force a
strike, locked out several hundred
of their employees.
The contractors allege that slack
work and few orders compelled them
to knock off some of their men They
deny having any unwillingness to
live up to the terms of the agree
ment, and that they were anxious
to force the men to the actions taken
today But, however these things
may be, one thing is certain, that
tailors were dissatisfied, and that
they have demonstrated this by re-
spending instantly to the call issued
by the United Brotherhood of Tail
ors, the leading spirit of which is
Meyer Schienfeld, who styles him
self official organizer of the United
Garment Workers of America
The minimum wages demanded is:
For operators, SIS; basters, $13: press
ers, SO; bushelers, SO; trimmers,
$40; twisters, So. They also insist that
all members of the brotherhood out
be reinstated, and that the repre-
sentatives of the brotherhood have
access to the shops to investigate
grievances, and see that employees
have their due books" as proof of
their membership of the union.

HIS MALADY FEIGNED.
California Courts Have No SYM
pathy for Reporters Who Sham
Insanity.

New York Evening Post.
A sad blow at Journalistic enter
prise" has been dealt by an unfeeling
judge in California. An ambitious
young reporter on the Los Angeles
Herald, who had wearied of ordinary
assignments, conceived the idea of
winning fame by getting up a sensa-
ton. So he feigned insanity, was
brought before the court for examina-
ton, was pronounced a subject for the
asylum, and was sent to the state in
stitution at Highlands. After staying
long enough to get material for a
good STORY" he wanted to get out,
but in order to secure his release was
obliged to tell the whole story of his
deceit. The judge who had committed
him cited him to appear to answer the
charge of contempt of court, and SEN
fenced him to pay fine of $500 or
serve 100 days in Jail. The judge ac-
copied the plea that no disrespect for
him personally had been intended, but
explained that contempt of court was
not an offense against the person of
the judge, but against the government
because it is an unlawful Interference
with the orderly administration of JUS
tice by the tribunals created for that
purpose. In this case the reporter by
deceit, had caused the machinery of
justice to be set in motion, involving
considerable public expense, and when
brought before the court acted in
disorderly and insolent manner to in
duce the court to make an improper
and illegal order. The judge pro-
ceeded to express these views upon
the plea that a journalistic criminal
ought to be treated more leniently than
one not in the profession"
Possibly, from the standpoint of a
reporter, such conduct may seem right
and proper. 1t is possible even that in
some quarters an attempt to deceive
a court of justice, and by deceit to
procure an improper and illegal order
an order involving the expenditure
of considerable public money, and re-
sulting in the sending of a sane man
to an insane asylum-may be looked
upon as legitimate journalistic en-
terprise. 1 hardly think. however.
that, upon sober second thought. anv
citizen would so regard it. One who
embarks upon such an enterprise-an
enterprise which involves a, viola ton
of law, an enterprise which involves
the commission of a public offense-
must abide the consequence"

"WE, THE PEOPLE,"

Precious Document.

w L
The constitution of the United States
the original pen-written constitution.
be it remembered-has been dragged
from its place of concealment in the
state department to be photographed.
1t has been decided to send fac simile
of it to the Atlanta exposition. OF
course, the Atlanta people would
rather have had the original document.
but this could not be entertained.
The constitution is kept in a steel
safe in the library of the state depart
ment. The safe, quite n pretty affair
in gray and gold,is massive and strong:
A combination lock protects it's price
less contents, and the combine ton is
carefully kept by one or two officials.
Yesterday, however, the steel doors
were swung open in order to allow a
reporter of the Post to look upon the
sacred pages. No document in the
world has been so fraught with destiny
as this very same constitution. 1t is
today the foundation of the govern
ment. To see it as it came from the
pen Of the engrosser on the 18th day of
September, 1877, is a sight worth trav-
cling a thousand miles to witness.
AS is well known, there are in the
SIoIS ucpdi liIlSll Two copies OF the
Declaration of Independence, one the
official and engrossed document and
the other the original draft in the writ
ing of Thomas Jefferson, with all the
erasures and alterations that were
made before the language was finally
agreed upon. In the case Of the con-
stitution there is only one copy-the
final engrossment, with the signatures
duly attached. AS thus preserved, it
consists Of four large sheets of parch-
ment, each 22x2S inches, with the words
written out in the old-fashioned CHR
ography ola century ago, and the curl
Gus capitalization of letters then in
vogue.
The first three words, 1--WE, the peo-
pie" are engrossed in very large black
letters, so that they stand out In bold
relief. On the last page are the sigma
lures of the deputies from the various
states, beginning with the familiar
autograph of George Washington, who
signed himself as president and dep

Sanders firm kept a lookout for it.
but 1T was finally discovered by
chance. One of their collectors on
the New Guinea coast ESCAPED with
a part of the crew from a Dutch
trading vessel, in which he was re-
turning to civiliza ton with a num-
Der of boxes of orchids, and which
was wrecked.
1t was a lucky adventure for him.
for in the place he landed he found the
Schroderianium. Next year he was
sent to procure 1T. 1t grew only in one
place, a hillside used as a burying
ground by the black natives. The
flower was held sacred, and the nation
absolutely refused to allow the collect
or to disturb it. A shrewd display of
beads and trinkets weakened their
devout resolution, and the matter was
hnally compromised. He was allowed
to fill box, but it was stipulated that
a god should be packed with the flow
ers. This god was a famous one.
His eyes We're made of two nuggets
of gold, and he was known as 1.-The
God With the Golden Eyes" The box
with its divine Enclosure reached Lon
don in safety, and the god was auc-
toned off with a lot of orchids.
