CHICAGO, March This even
ing at the Grand Pacific hotel there
is to be held a peculiar meeting.

a party in the west to be known az
plymouth colony" will be pres

to be made yearly when crops are
gathered. Another feature of the
plan will be the Colonial club.

MEYoR DAMPF BURIED.
The Central Labor Union Attend the
Funeral and Complies Delivers
the Grafton.

Inc NeuIrdl hdUOt OulOu nGtoho Ihe
Funeral and Complies Delivers
the Grafton.
NEW YORK, March 4.-One OF
the most impressive funeral SER
vices ever witnessed in this city
took place yesterday. Dressed in
his uniform as corporal Of Com.
pany III. 7th. Regiment the body
Of Meyor Dampf laid in state
guarded by his comrades in arms,
the members of Derlas. 1t was a
wonderfully sympathetic gather
ing which surrounded the bier of
Meyor Dampf and strangely
enough one OF his pail bearers, the
commander Of his post, Col. Aesei-
fert, Secretary Of the Brewers
Union, represented the principle
against which Dampf had fought
resolutely for so many years.
At the early hour meeting Of the
Central Labor Union resolutions of
regret were passed betltting the &C.
casion, Mr.. Dampf having been a
member for many years. The
meeting was promptly adjourned
in order that the members might
be present in the hall below during
the funeral ceremony. The plat
form was occupied by leaders OF
the laber movement in this city,
and the hall was filed with men,
bers Of the various organizations
represented in the Central Labor
Union and other bodies, when
Samuel Gompers rose to make his
grafton. He said: "The comrades
Of the one who, frail bodied, lies in
yonder coffin, can attest to his
courage on the field Of battle. In
the cause that you and L were
engaged also, he was the bravest
and gentlest Of us all.
We are asked to sum up the
hopes and motives OF Meyor
Dampf and would say that he
sought to place upon the brow OF
mankind the everlasting idea that
justice is true aud inbedded in the
hearts OF all. In the great struggle
to have that fact recognized he
was a noble and unseltish volun-
teer. There were elements in him
which seem to have been garnered
for the purpose Of placing upon
his brow the stamp Of highest
manhood.
ain the struggle Of labor against
wrongs, which is the growth OF
generations, he was ever ready to
place his valor.on the side Of just
ice and true to his home and to the
cause we love so we'll. May his
life be an example that we may
all follow, to bring success to the
movement with which he was
identified.

A TITLED REFORMER.
LADY SOMERSET, THE REF0RMER
UNMEROIFULLY SCORED.
An Arrangement of Her Wealth
Aristocratic Regulations of
~. Human Needs and Her
Insincerity.

New YORK, March AT Chick
ering hall last evening, under the
auspices of the Manhattan Single
Tax club, William Everett Hicks,
secretary of the International Land
Congress at Paris, spoke on LADY
Henry Somerset and Reform" He
said, in part:
"Lady Henry Somerset possesses
1900 acres of land, and her castle
is one OF the finest in England. On
her broad estate are large quanti-
ties of deer, but only here and
there can be found a cottage, or
worse yet, a hovel. Some Of the
houses are inhabited by abandoned
women. When this became known
a short time ago she packed her
trunks, came to this city and began
to preach the gospel of purity.
Lady Henry Somerset does not
want to abolish the liquor habit,
and never did. 1t is too good a
shield. Why did Rockefeller and
Sage open their houses to the
woman suffragists il not as stalling
horses to the aristocracy? | respect
the Count de Castellano and his
family. They do not pose as re-
formists. In the Counts book he
does not lay claim to anything as
a result Of his own genius. Lady
Henry Somerset never pronounced
herself in favor of abolishiug the
House of Lords, against which the
English people are inveighing Bit
terly; but louder than this is the
cry of the English people against
landlordism. Lady Henry Somer-
set never gave one acre OF her land
to the poor. What has she ever
done for the masses? She closed
the saloons on her estate, and then
raised the rent to gobble up the
money of the men who did not
drink liquor. Lady Henry Somer-
set says that men are poor because
they are weak. She says Of the
new woman, we will never have
the new woman until we have the
new man, and we won't have the
new man until the land question
is righted. The men have but a
small part Of their rights. Lady
Henry Somerset knows this, and
so does her cOadjutor, Francis f.
Willard"

A Curious Custom in Alaska

A fact remarkable to our civilized
women Is the one that Alaska squaws
make their ages public. They wear a
piece of wood or bone in the lower lip,
the size of the ornament indicating the
age Of the owner. When a girl mar
ries her lower lip is pierced and peg
of wood or piece Of bone the size of
pea inserted. AS she grows older this
is increased in size until 1t is almost
as wide as her chin, and one-fourth Of
an inch high. The result Is naturally
most unsightly. There is an interesting
family at Fort Wrangel, which Illus
trates perfectly this peculiar custom.
1t Includes four generations. A young
girl may be seen sitting at one side
Of the one-roomei square house, while
ner mother, grandmother and great
grandmother are squatted on the earth
en- floor near the door, offering mats
and baskets to the ships passengers
who come on shore. There is no dis
figuring ornament on the girls chin,
but there Is a big one on the lip of the
great at-grandmother-C Tribune.

Odds Against Macedonia

Turkey has sent to the scene Of the
Macedonian outbreak fourteen battal-
ions of infantry, nine squadrons of cav
airy, and nine field batteries to put
down the Christians Of that province.
AS If the odds were not large enough
against the Macedonians, the Christian
powers, Germany, Austria, Italy and
England, it is reported, have reached
an agreement, which agreement Is not
to let the Macedonian Christians go too
far In putting down the unspeakable
Turks. 1t Is astonishing the amount Of
consideration these cruel and bestial
orientals receive from the great pow
ers. AS they have failed thus far, how
ever. in any scheme to protect the
Armenian Christians there Is no reason
to expect that the Macedonian cry
"come over and help us" will be an
swered.-Chicago Tribune.

The New York IL Steady.

The New York, of the American line,
though not the fastest, has the best
record for regularity Of any of the
Atlantic feet. Her average time has
not varied for years, and she can be
expected almost on the minute every
voyage. She has crossed the Atlantic
more times than any other steamer OF
her age, and has been more regular
about 1t. The New York made four
teen trips westward, in 1893, with an
average time of days "a hours and 40
minutes. Her sailing distance was
2,TO miles. In 1893 she made thirteen
trips, eastbound, with an average Of 6
days 20 hours and 80 minutes, which
was just one minute faster than her
westbound time that year. In 1894 she
made fifteen trips, with an average
time Of 6 days 20 hours and "a minutes.
Therefore, In crossing the ocean fifty
seven times in both directions, at all
seasons of the year, her widest varia-
ton for two years was only 1 houy

No Song, No Supper.

birds how to sing the notes of musical
instruments usually teach their pupils
In classes-seven birds to class, for
instance. Girls and boys that have
studied under the best of masters, at
the best Of schools, have an enviable
time compared with the poor birds,
who are shut up in dark room to
start with, and are, moreover, half
starved II they are too long in begin
ming their task of imitation. On the
other hand, II they get on nicely and
are fairly "quick at the uptake," the
light will be gradually admitted and
their hunger will be partly relieved,
to reward their efforts and encourage
them to higher things. AS soon as
they come to find that little light and
food accompany song, in the long run
they learn to sing Of their own accord
for these necessities of life. The flute
Is tho chief instrument used in these
