obvious that the simplcst-mindcd man
must see II. But the free silver men
say that wages will advance Perhaps
they would In time and after strug-
gle, but nothing Is more certain. If OK
pericncc is good for anything, than that
they would not advance as fast or as
far as the prices OF commodities,
measured in dcbased and steadily
chcapcning dollar.
The change from the existing none
tary standard to n silver basis would
compel labor readiustment as well
as a financial and business rcadiuSt-
mcut Before this could be effected
what would he the experience of labor?
Hundreds of thousands of men now at
work would be turned out of employ
meut and the probable effect of this
would be to lower wages at the outset
Is it not absolutely certain that such
condition of affairs would seriously
impair the strength of organized labor?
Many men belonging to labor organiZa-
tions, driven to dcStitution for want OF
work, would accept employment at any
wages offered, regardless of the organi-
2ations. Furthermore. with large num-
bcrs of their members idle these
organizations could not collect the dues
necessary TO sustain them and the
weaker among them financially would
be very likely to dissolve. That there
would be more or less disintcglation
in aIl of them there can he no doubt,
thus weakening them for the renewed
! effort to maintain wages.
1t is thus perfectly apparent that
organized labor has nothing to gain
and everything to lose from the adop-
ton of the free silver policy and it
may well be doubted whether organized
labor could continue to exist under that
policy. 1t would certainly be subjected
! TO Il tremendous struggle in order to do
so. 1t is TO be apprchcnded that the
members of labor organizations who
| are proposing to vote for free silver
| have not thought of these things as
carefully and dispusSionately as the in
| tcreSts of organized labor and their

BY FIRE AND FLOOD.
The Village of Boundbrook Cut of From
the Outside World.

Boundbrook, N. Y, Thursday night ex-
perienced the most dreadful calamity In
its existence. II was swept by both fire and
food. The water from the Raritan river ran
through the streets and at o'clock n. IN.
was nearly ton feet high In the main street.
The flood was caused by the heavy rain
fall overlooking the Raritan river. The
water In the meadow brook, about quarter
of mile from the heart OF Boundbrook,
overflowed its banks. II swept on both sides
of the Central railroad bridge. The water
rose higher than the bridge and rushed out
from the tracks. The surrounding country
for quarter OF mile was flooded.
The three main blocks IN the village were
flooded and while the citizens we're trying TO
rescue, men, women and children from the
houses that were In danger OF being swept
away by the food fire was discovered.
The fire was first seen In the lumber yard
of l.. l.. Cook X Co. An alarm was turned
In, but volunteer flremen thought more of
human life than property. and they sent
word to Somerville and Planneld for assist
ance. Engines started from the two places
for Boundbrook. but they had not got far out
side the limits Of their respective towns when
they were forced to return on account OF the
roads being impossible. No attention was
paid to fighting the fire by the villagers. All
OF them directed their efforts toward rescu-
ing those who were imprisoned by the food.
Rowboats were secured and attempts made
to take persons from the second story
windows Of their houses, but they could not
be got out.

A DREARY OUTLOOK.
Consul Howells Says Welsh Tin Makers
Are in Hard Luck.

A dismal picture of the condition and
future prospects of the Welsh tin makers is
drawn by United States Consul Anthony
Howells in report to the Department Of
State. He says:
"The tin plate trade of South Wales has
persistently during the past few months gone
from bad TO worse. When prior TO the
November election. The ruinous effects of
the Wilson bill on American manufacture
was portrayed in certain newspapers there
was much rejoicing on this side OF the At
lantic. The optimism which asserted itself
was remarkable, and when these facts were
quoted rs being against those who gloried
because American failure meant British sue
cess their reply seemed to be, rs is always
the case with such as are unwillingto be con-
vinced OF being In the wrong, that 1t was so
much the worse for the facts Unhappily a
crisis is at hand. and the only panacea sug-
gested is general stoppage for little time
next month, provided no improvement takes
place in the meantime"
The Consul encloses a printed call upon
the men to suspend work In this fashion, but
doubts whether it will be generally needed,
although as there are at least 100 too many
mills In existence, the only recourse seems TO
be to check the output. As 1t is scarcely one
OF the works has been running regularly,
there being at present nearly ITO mills idle
with prospect of an immediate increase OF
the number.

"Indianarolis, Feb. 8, 1896"

An entire family of six persons was found
dead Wednesday morning, the result of the
murderous work of Richard Kloettke, car
penter, residing at No. 207 Berteau avenue,
Chicago, The dead are;
Richard Kloettke, aged 3s.
Kate Kloettke his wife.
John Kloettke. his father, aged 73.
Nina Kloettke. his mother, aged II.
Nina Kloettkc. his daughter, aged Q.
Anna Kloettke. his daughter, aged 8.
Emma Kloettke, his daughter, aged Z.
Kloettke had been out of work since Christ
mas. pathetic feature of the tragedy is
that two neighbors called at the Kloettke
cottage that morning, each with the glad
news Of employment for him.
Each of Kloettke's victims was shot through
the head. and death must have been instan-
taneous In each case. There was an odor of
chloroform in the house, and II Is surmised
that the murderer had rendered his victims
unconscious before firing the fatal shots.
The appearance of Mrs. Kloettke alone, OF
all the victims, presented any indication OF
a struggle. Her hands were scratched and
her clothing torn.
Little Emma and her mother were found
in the rear room, while in the front room the
aged grandparents lay In one bed and the re-

THE WONDERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY.
LOCATED THE BULLET.
Professor Roentgen's Discovery Tested in a
Practical Manner.

Medical men In Montreal have been for
weeks anxiously watching the experiments
of Professor Cox, of McGll University, with
DR.. Roentgen's method of "invislble" pho
Biography by the cathode ray.
On Christmas day bullet was fired into
the calf Of the left leg Of young man nam
cd Cunning. The injured youth was taken TO
the Montreal General Hospital, where ef-
forts were made to locate the bullet by prob
ing, but without success. The wound heal
ed over and two weeks after the accident
young Cunning left the hospital. All went
well until last week. when the wound be-
came troublesome from the fact that the bul-
let still remained in tho leg.
II was decided TO try 70 locate the bullet
with the assistance of DR.. Roentgen's discov.
cry. The young man was taken 70 one Of
the experimenting laboratories In the Physics
building at McGill University where the ex-
pertinent was to take place.
When he had taken his seat camera
holder containing a Stanley sensitized plate
was placed against a heavy block of wood
ut one side Of the leg, the latter being held in
a steady position by means OF bandages and
towels.
When all was In readiness the electric cur
rent was turned on. The light Immediately
