be stated that the banks did not refuse
anybody with good collateral willing TO

GREAT STRIKE PLANNED.
Campaign for an Eight-Hour Day to Be-

Campaign for an Eight-Hour Day to Be-
gin May 1.
Boston. April 17.-As a result of the
eight-hour proclamation recently is
sued by the executive council OF the
American Federation of Labor, plans
have been prepared for monster strike,
which is planned to extend to New
York. Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis
and all the cities where the force of such
a move would be most keenly felt.
The strike will be for the enforce
ment of the eight-hour work day, which
is now refused. President Gompers and
Vice President Mcclure, Of the Ameri-
can federation, will be here Sunday to
confer with the leaders. They have
been ascertaining the strength of the
unions, and advance reports from them
say that the unions are prepared fnan-
cially. = - =,
The first move will be made in Bos-
ton. The carpenters have been selected
to make the test, and the refusal of thcis
demand will be followed by an instant
strike in Boston. It can be safely pre-
dicted that at the least computation
$4,000 men will be involved in the strike,
and, if once started, the labor leaders
say it will tax the resources to the great
est to prevent such scenes as were en-
acted in Chicago, or still worse, as were
witnessed in the Homestead affair.

MINNESOTA STATE NEWS.
A National Park.

Congressman McCleary has concluded
to push his bill providing for the estab-
lisment of national park at Pipestone.
He introduced this bill early in the ses-
sion and then found that there was in
an Indian appropriation bill of 1894 a
provision that unless the attorney-gen-
eral began suit in the supreme court
within year to determine the status
of this land, its title should be deemed
to pass to the Indians. The attorney
general never began the suit because
he could not initiate such an action in
the supreme court. Congressman Nc
Cleary has consulted number of law
yers on the subject and has reached
the conclusion that because the condi-
ton imposed was an impossible one the
failure to comply with it has amounted
to nothing, and the status of the lands
is not different from what it was before
the bill referred to was passed.
He will therefore endeavor to have
congress make park out of the square
mile which includes the famous Pipe
stone quarries. The rights of the In
dams to quarry the stone will not be
affected in the least by the passage of
such bill

NEED FUNDS.
An Urgent Appeal for Further Aid to
Miss Clara Barton.

Miss Clara Barton.
New York, April 1s.-Miss Clara Bar
ton, president of the Red Cross society,
cables to the national Armenian relief
committee that at Marash there are
5000 persons sick of *yphus; that the
sickness at Zeitoun is increasing, with
10 to so deaths daily, and that there
is great and immediate need OF funds.
The committee, in giving out the cable
gram for publication says:
Eve cannot refrain from reminding +he
American people of all classes and Sec
lions that Miss Barton undertook this
sacred fork of relief only in response to the
urgent request of the public, and assur-
ances that the work would be generously
maintained to the end. Not one-f1fth Of the
$5OO.00O needed to carry on the relief work
on the smallest calculation made has yet
been given and yet the need and facilities
for carrying on relief are greater than
ever. In fact, unless the people are aided
the various agencies will be practically
thrown away and thousands will newt
ably perish of pestilence and starvation.
The Christianity and honor of the Ameri-
can people is at stake as well as the lives
of the survivors of the massacres, most Of
whom are helpless and innocent women
and children. It should be remembered
that by showing lively interest in the
sufferers by literally supporting the agen-
cies at work for their relief is the best and
most efficient way OF securing for them
more considerate treatment at the hands
Of the Turkish government. Individuals

Synopsis of His Latest Address, Delivered
at Cincinnati

Synopsis Of His Latest Address, Delivered
at Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, April Is. go Hon. James
III. eEckels,S comptroller of&the currency,
addressed an audience of 1000 Cincin-
natl business men here Friday night.
Mr.. Eckels' address was on the sub
ject of national finances and the cur
rency and was in response to joint in
vitation of the chamber of commerce.
the Clearing House association and the
Commercial club of Cincinnati. He was
introduced by Mr.. ]. B. Hearne, presi-
dent of the Third national bank, who
presented the speaker in a few brief
and appropriate remarks. Mr.. Eckeis
took the stand at eight o'clock and
spoke for over two hours .,e.E 49,.
Mr.. Eckels said he had no sympathy
with that sentiment which sprang from
demagogy and misguided politics, that ex-
cluded the distinctively business man from,
ment Of questions which were wholly Of
business character In the past there
had been too much fear of the hue and
cry of noisy agitators and breeders Of
discomfort and strife on the part of bust
ness men and the result was the nation was
continual source of harm. The people
stood in need of complete freedom from the
agitations which had menaced prosperity
and impoverished the citizen since the war.
At no time within the last 30 years had
such serious conditions confronted the
business world. The business depression
of to-day was caused by legislation which
gave new power to the free silver advo-
Gates and placed a larger burden on the
treasury's gold reserve without increasing
the nations gold or giving the secretary
additional power to protect the same.
There never were so large investments of
foreign capital in the United States as in
the years Immediately preceding 1890.
There never was so small ones as In the
years since that date. The silver legisla-
ton of that year accomplished what all
the other currency heresies and follies Of
three decades could not do. The American
business world to-day was witnessing the
result Of doubt and the lessening Of conf
dence in US on the part of those who were
the country's strongest financial allies and
its greatest source of capital. The home
investor was none the less a doubter ard
between them there was almost complete
commercial paralysis il every part of the
country. The pernicious doctrine of iat-
ism and it's kindred one of imitation caused
in the largest degree the continual looking
to congress for monetary relief. The first
essential to the return of prosperity was
the extinction of the free silver fallacy.

A Tough Young One.

Fred Johnson, 19-year old lad,

ond degree and was sentenced by Judge
Russell. of Minneapolis, to the reform
atory. Johnson said that he had gone
to the house occupied by Emma Lind
S, and tried to get in. They wouldn't
let him in so he kicked in the door. The
presence of lot of silverware which
was found in his possession, however,
did not sustain his position in the mat
ter and he concluded to plead guilty.

THIRTY.ElGHT YEARS OVER 100.
Time Seems to Have No Eject on This
Man, Feoderovitch Kouzmin.

Time Seems to Have No Eject on This
Man. Feoderovitch Kouzmin.
Ivan Feodorovitch Kouzmin is, ac-
cording to the Russian authorities, the
Oldest man in the world. This seems
a rather broad statement, but the rec
ords are there to show that Ivan first
saw the light of day on October 81 (old
style), 1857, which would make him 1873
years of age next birthday. One hun
bred and thirty-eight years of age!
Late last September Gospodin Lo-
kovski Viedomosti editorial staff,
happened to stop at a wayside
inn near the village of Dukova,
in the government of Kostrama, and
there met an aged son of Ivan and be-
came interested. Having satisfied
himself that Ivan Kouzmin, for he,it
was, was telling the truth about his
age and having obtained some data as
to the aged peasants probable birth
place, Lomonossoff set to work to dis
cover, if possible, the entry of his bap-
tism.
This required an unusual amount Of
labor and research, but finally the
church where this ceremony took place
was found and the archives contain
ing the entry were brought to light.
There was the full name and the date,
and, curious to relate, an addenda by
the officiating priest to the effect that
God had blessed the child with the holy
sign of the cross beneath the right
shoulder blade, and thus marked him
for his own. A subsequent examine
ton of old VANS body revealed this
peculiar mark, a growth of warty sub
stance, slightly resembling the Greek
cross seen on the cupolas of all
churches of the eastern orthodox faith.
So there could be no mistake about it.
Ivan Feodorovitch Kouzim was 1877
years of age! The records showed it,
and his own words told the story still
more eloquently. Here was veteran,
who, though entirely illiterate and
barely able to understand more than
the requirements of a peasants daily
routine, could, in his lucid moments, re-
call the happenings of a century ago.
Ivan and his son, it may be said, very
quickly benefited by this sudden bound
into fame.-N. Y. World.
