Samuel Gompers, ex-president of the
american Federation of Labor, and p.
j. Mcclure, first vice president of the
same organization, will not be in Amer
lea on the I'd of September. They sailed
for England August II, armed with
credentials as delegates from the fed
Grafton to the annual trades congress Oh
Great Britain, which assemblies in Sep
tember at Cardiff, Wales.
One of the new lights in the labor
field is P H. Morrissey, grand master
of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men. Mr.. Morrissey entered the offices
of the Brotherhood as clerk in 1885
where his abilities were quickly recog-
nized. For some years he has held the
Office of first vice grand master, until al
the late convention in Galesburg, Ill.
he was elected grand master to succeed
S. E. Wilkinson. Mr.. Morrissev is
scarcely thrty-three years OF age, but
is regarded everywhere as the most
prominent of the younger generation OF
railway men.
Mr. Morrissey is an able speaker and
his voice will be heard on Labor day in
the interest of trade organizations, OF
which he is an earnest champion.

1t would require large volume to
enumerate all the varieties of pigeons,
and wonderfully interesting work it
would be if it could carry us through
all the experiments and changes that
have been used in producing the varia-
tions from the original Blue Rock
pigeon. 1t is difficult to understand
how all these changes have been
brought about, how even the most
thoughtful breeding and selection
could produce SO many wide differ
ences. We have over one hundred va
rieties, as different in outward appear
ances as SO many kinds of wild birds,
yet all SO quick to revert to the
original stock if allowed to breed in
discriminatory. In the illustration are
seen two favorite hobbies of the Scotch
pigeon fanciers, each brought to its
highest state of perfection in Scotland.
Long before the days of poultry and
pigeon shows these two extremes were
bred to these astonishing forms, and
