Glad to De in WASHINGTON.


NJ. Sherman's address was listened to
with marked attention. and in part he said
ITO say that 1 am glad to be in this city
tonight is putting it very mildly indeed.
When 1 found cut that Washington had
secured the convention of the National
Brotherhood for 1S!i5, | was pleased beyond
measure. My mind was carried back 70 the
time when l was resident of the national
capital and L rejoiced again that l was to
be permitted to see my parents and friends,
whom had not met for years. l believe
that much good VIII result to the Brother
hood of Electrical Workers throughout the
country account of this meeting in
WASHINGTON. During the last few years
the growth of the Electrical brotherhood
has been phenomenal. We have suffered
during the panic with other organizations,
bat l do not think that we have any right
to complain.
The American people have come to leara
that the man who wears the overalls is
every whit as good as the capitalist, nnd
that he is becoming more and more en-
!igh.ened every year What is needed
among our people. l mean the people who
labor generally not only the members of
the Electrical Workers. is that more of
them unite with organizations of Their
craft and just as soon as we can get them
to realize that organization Is necessary to
success the organization VIII grow largely.
Mr.. Sherman then related in detail the
troubles which existed a few years ago
among the garment workers of Rochester,
n. y, and told how through organization
many of the evils have been remed.ed.
IF" said he, again taking up the subject
Of the electric workers, the electric
workers of the United States knew their
own strength they would have luGD or
1000 new members within month. Stick
to your union mother sticks to her
child. Stick to your union. for. just rs
sure as you living, the time will come
when the union viii be the bridge that Will
carry you over trouble
whom I especially despise. They know
only quitting time and pay day, and nine
tenths of the men who have dropped out
of the local unions belonged to this class.
/ earnestly urge all the electrical workers
of Washington who have ever belonged to
the union and do not now to return to the
organization. Stand up or the floor of the
hall and fight everything that you think
is wrong but Go not let the trouble pass
beyond the threshold of the place where
YOU hold your meetings..

Col. Heyyv0Od's Opinion.
This interview led the Star reporter to
further investigate the subject, and he
procured pamphlet containing the testi-
nlony given before the joint committee on
the personnel of the navy at the first ses-
sion of the Fifty-third Congress. A peru
sal of the testimony of Col. Charles Hey
wood, the commandant of the marine corps,
developed that it was his opinion hat
when a detachment of marines was de-
tailed for sea duty it should constitute
division under its own officers, and at The
discretion of the commanding officer of the
vessel, be assigned to the guns of the main
and secondary batteries. He believed that
this would both increase the sphere of use

THE SORCERERS.

Sacher Mascoh in Hebrew Standard.
Schalom Raphael was one of the wealth.
lest of England's wealthy merchants AS
young man he had begun life by selling
matches in a small way; and now that his
hair was turning to silver he was the own
er of two large shops in Bath, lived in
palace-Italian style-and his vessels car
ried his merchandise to America. the In
dies and distant Japan. His eldest son was
virtually at the head of the business.
Schalom was beginning to take thought
to his creature comforts. The suburban
villa was well adapted TO various tastes
of it's various occupants. 1t afforded
the master of the house opportunity for
experiments in the cultivation of his flow
ers and fruit trees; it encouraged his
wife's passion for horses and racing; it
was the spot par excellence where his
daughter Namoi could educate her pig
cons; and it offered leisure to his young
est son. judah, in the prosecution of his
pathological studies.
Judah it was whom the father idolized;
Judah it was who filled the fathers soul
with disquietude.
To begin with, he showed not the least
inclination in the world for business and
passed the greater part of his time buried
in his Hebrew Latin and Greek folios; but
what oppressed the fond parent more
heavily than this unaccountable proclivity
was his sons distinct disapproval of all
marriageable young ladies proposed for
his consideration, and his express deter
mination never to wed.
Schalom Raphael was forced to the con-
clhsion that his on was bewitched.
Despite the fact that as a merchant
and ship-owner he was daring and adj
venturous, timidity and superstition pos
sessed him in all other relationships Of life.
A visit to a neighbours whose house was
unprovided with a lightning rod was
apt to be of the shortest possible dura-
ton, and with a haste born of fear Of
unmerited death would his horses be driv-
en- homeward. Were he forced to spend
a night away from the safe shelter of his
own roof, his first care was to see wheth-
er all the windows were provided with
bars. The sight Of a dog with Innocent
Exchanging tongue lent youthful vigor to
his limbs, and bounding over the nearest
hedge was fact accomplished as soon
as conceived. Petroleum was an evil
which excited his liveliest fears. and I'M
der no circumstances might a drop of it
be brought into his house. with untir-
ing zeal would he cut out all newspaper
accounts Of accidents occasioned by this
iniammable stuff, and triumphantly wave
these clippings before such Of his friends
who were fooihardy enough to use this
frightful means Of illumination.
The Passover week brought TO a sue
cessfui close a season OF perpetual anx-
iety and filled Schalom's life with new in

ditiOns Of the Ghetto. and the time be-

The father had heard enough.
The following morning Mr.. Raphael
called Judah into his library, and said,
with a smile: Il have another young
woman to subject TO your approval as the
future Mrs. Raphael"
Thank you, father, 1 prefer to remain

ut is strange fact that there are times
when even the most daring outlaws get
frightened and badly frightened at that,
said Col Thompson of New Orleans. Col.
Thompson was formerly a resident of Mis-
souri, but a few years ago went to the
Crescent City to engage in business, and
is associated with a banking concern
there. A few years ago he was the guest
of a gentleman in Kentucky who is rela-
ted to the James brothers, and in this
way met the retired outlaw, Frank James.
II once met Frank James," said the col
onel, land in the course of our conversa-
ton asked him if he was ever really scar
ed in any of the closest places during his
career. l wanted to find out even in the
most desperate places if the courage of a
notorious outlaw ever left him. Well yes
he replied. Very frequently I worked a
big bluff when l was pretty badly fright
ened, l can assure you. l have always
had associated with me men that were
the most arrant towards you ever saw,
and yet they could put on bold sront
and intimidate the most courage
Courage frequently consists in making
the other fellow believe you are the bet
ter man.
Frank James has thoroughly reformed,
and is to-day a good, law-abiding citizen.
He was thoroughly tired of his wild, hunt
ed, rowing life. He is a dead shot, but is
thankful he does not have to depend upon
his unerring aim and weapon to live now.
l remember one instance he told me of
where he was badly frightened, and VIII
