MASS MEETINGS OF TRAINMEN.
Uniting of All Bodies OF organized
Railroad Men Their object,

st. Louis, Mo-. Nov. pa mass meet
ing of railway trainmen was held here
this afternoon and evening at Druids hall.
The meeting was called by the five local
lodges of the brotherhood of railroad
trainmen.
w. c. Pierce, secretary Of the track
mems Union. presided, and explained that
the purpose of the meeting was to discuss
the feasibility of uniting all organized
bodies of railroad workmen.
Second Vice Grand Master T. r. Dodge
of Chicago. was the first speaker. He
advocated general union, not for strikes
and boycotts. but to secure compulsory
arbitration, and the enactment of laws
tending TO better the workers. Lee Meri-
wether, state labor commissioner of Mis-
souri,, made a stirring ten-minute speech
that aroused the 500 auditors. Others made
short addresses, and the meeting took a
recess.
Upon re-assembling at 7.45 o'clock,
Chairman Pierce dispensed with ceremony
and called for short experience talks. The
discussion began at an express train
speed, and when adjournment was had at
1880 O'Clock, there had been a full dis
cussion of the main question. A commit
tee of one from each of the five branches
of the Trainmen's Brotherhood was APP
pointed to meet any authorized body of
railway workmen to work upon a plan
of union.
Like meetings were held to-day in Sun
bury Pa. and Columbus, o. The plan
most favored for union is for each branch
of the railroad service to maintain it's sep
arate organization, but to send delegates
to a general convention of all the railway
orders. This congress should be assem-

all the workers, such as the securing Of
arbitration laws and laws Furnishing
blacklisting, etc, and should have no
power to order strikes or boYcotts.

HER SECRET.
How Lady Who Was Thin Became
Plump ana Healthy.


Few ladies' wish to become abnormally
rat but there are thousands Of women who
would give nearly all they possess to in
crease their flesh and to look plumper
more robust and healthy. They realize
that little more flesh would greatly i'm
prove their looks.
1T is certainly strange how difficult it
is to increase your weight" said lady re-
Gently II know 1t by my own experience.
For months 1 took various patent foods
and other preparations. but it was all use
less. 1 kept as thin as ever Finally a
friend persuaded me to take a little pure
stimuiant at meal-time, and the result was
l decided to try pure malt whiskey. The
result was simply marvellous! l could
notice an increase in my weight the first
week, and what is more, 1t greatly i'm
proved my health l am completely cured
of the weak, tired feelings from which 1
used to suffer, and 1 owe it to Duffy's pure
malt whiskey."
Thousands of ladies tell a similar
story to that related above BY the use
of Duffy pure malt they have gained new
life, vigor and strength. Its great stimu-
lative nourishment has built them up and
endowed them with a stock Of health such
as they never before enjoyed. For round
ing out thin fialres, and giving a fresh
color to pale Worn faces 1t is unequaled.

Chicngo's Artistic PicIspOci<ets'
From the Chicago Times Herald.

From the Chicago Tlmes-Herald'
Early in the worlds fair year a we'll
known Chicago Board Of Trade man got
caught in a crowd at the terminal sta
tlon. and never afterward saw a gold
watch for which he had paid $3.50 a few
months before
Three weeks later another timepiece,
which cost 500, disappeared in precisely
the same way. Since then the broker has
carried a watch which. from outward APP
Dearance. would be dear at $50. The
cases are of nickel thinly plated with
gold, which has worn off In spots. The
works. however, are as costly as can be
bought in the Chicago market.
Tuesday night he came down town to
hear the election returns. In front OF a
newspaper bulletins he was rudely Jostled
by a. crowd of shouting partisans When
he reached home his watch was missing
from It's accustomed place in his vest
pocket.
When preparing TO retire, however, he
found the smisslng watch. IL was in his
hin pocket, and the chain guard was fas-
tened In the suspended buckle behind.
The enterprising thief who had stolen the
watch had taken time TO glance at IT,
and. believing It worthless had slipped
the watch back into another pocket and
fastened the chain.
Who says that Chicago pickpockets are
not expert? And who ever heard Of one
being beaten at his own game before?

REDMOND ON THE ROsTRUM.
The Irish Leader in Parliament
Lectures at New York

New York, Nov. pa large audience
greeted John, E. Redmond, M. P, at the
Broadway theater tonight, when he de-
livered his lecture, Fifteen Years in the
British Parliament"
Among those present were Judge Fitz-
gerald, Charles a. Dana, w. Bourke Cock
ran and Congressman William f. Sulzer.
Mr.. Dana introduced Mr.. Redmond, and
in doing so, said: 1T is not necessary in
a meeting of Irishmen, or among those
devoted 10 the ancient and holy cause of
Ireland, for me to say anything in in
PRODUCING John E. Redmond"
Mr.. Redmond said, after being introduce
ed: Il feel that it must appear almost
presumptuous for me to appear before an
American audience to tell them anything
about parliament. Your magnificent press
gives you all the news of parliament" He
then proceeded to the delivery of his lee
ture, giving an account of his experiences
in parliament with sketches of Parnell,
Gladstone, Bright, Churchill Balfour,
Disraeli and other English statesmen.

sUTT0N-RoUNTREE TROUBLE.
Additional Particulars in Respect
to the Matter.

Stillmore, Ga, Nov. 29.-John and Law
son Sutton, who were parties to the Roun-
tree-sutton shooting ARRAY at Mcleod,
few days ago, are now able to walk about
town. but are not yet entirely well. Felix
Rountree, their assailant, is yet confined
to his house, and is not yet past the dan
ger line. 1t has clearly developed. and
is borne out by Lawson Sutton's state
ment that Rountree was not shot by Roy
Raines, as was first reported to the Morn
ing News. but by Lawson Sutton in de-
Tense of himself and his brother John. 1t
has further developed that the cause of
the difficulty was not a settlement between
Felix Rountree and the Sutton boys, but
between e. d. and H. II. Rountree, father
and brother of Felix Rountree, and the
sutton boys. No prosecution is threaten
ed by either side The case will be left
to the grand jury.

A FATAL QUARREL.
One Participant wounded by the
Other,


Waycross, Nov. 29.-Robert Lee Higgin-
botham was shot Thursday at Dyal &
Upchurch's sawmill, in the Big Bend-on-
the st. Mary's river, and Friday afternoon
he died from his wounds. Higginbotham
and Charles p. Black had a quarrel, and
in the end Black fatally wounded Higgn-
botham. Black is in Jail at Traders Hill,
in Charlton county, and an effort is being
made for bail. Black has employed Col.
Arthur E. Cochran of this city to defend
him. 1t appears, from what can be learn
ed regarding the evidence that obtained
at the preliminary trial yesterday, that
Higginbotham attempted TO shoot Black,
and the latter snatched the pistol from
the formers hand and shot him. Black and
Higginbotham were popular young men,
and were prominently connected in Flor
ida. Black is a brother of Mrs Johnson.
the wife of prominent architect at Tam

Jonn of Arc on the Hattie Field.
Maurice Boutet de Monvel in the Century.
In battle her courage was fearless, and
well ii was that Il was so, for each sue
cess was dearly bought, her indomitable
energy alone inspiring her faint-hearted
followers. When her troops threatened
retreat, it was by throwing hersedf into
the thickest of the fight, crying, "Ihey
are ours" that she turned defeat to VIC
tory Often wounded, she disdained the
pain of her maugled flesh, and remained
on the field as an example to her men. A
gracious woman withal, her pity was ever
greater than her courage, Drawing and
receiving blows, but never returning them.
She had but one weapon, her banner, for
her sword never left it's scabbard. Later
She was heard to say that she Loved her
banner a thousand times more than her
sword" At night. when the heat of bat
tie was assuaged. her tears fell at the
thought OF the wounded and the dead Il
have never seen French blood shed with
out my hair standing on end" was one of
her naive utterances. The enemy COM
manded her pity as we'll, and she was as
often seen assisting the dying English as
her own people Thus she was not only
the mind which directs. she was likewise
the heart filed with sympathy, the soul
solicitous Of the welfare of other souls, In
tuluvr,y understanding that the soldier
who fights the best is he whose heart Is
pure. In the same spirit she lightened
the burden Of the army by curtailing USE
less luggage, and she drove away the dis
reputable women who had followed the
camp and with Thorn the debauchery and
disorder they had brought On the other
hand she gently admonished her soldiers
to clear fheir conscience, to be yirtuous
and religious as well as brave.
