United States Judge Grosscup OF Chi
cago, holds that a man may ask Tor
what is due him without violating the
federal statute. The law, he says, Is
aimed at creditors who make threats
and try to humiliate the debtor in try
ing to collect his dues. About the only
persons who appeal to the law he says
are debtors who are DESTROYS OF swlho-
ling or getting revenge upon those they
owe and the chief sufferers are the poor
and the ignorant.

Helping the Brewery Workers..

Helping the Brewery Workers.
At the last meeting of the Trades and
Labor Union the following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas The struggle of theBrewery Workers
Unions No. 6, 40 and 95, against the English
Syndicate and the five other o-called indie
pendent bre~eries has now been going on for
over two and one half years and has caused l..
U. No. an expense of over So. COO. not to speak
of the sums l.. U Nos. 43 and % had to expend
in order to aid the locked out members thrown
on the street by the above mentioned brutal
concern; and
Whereas, The above mentioned Unions have
always been loyal to the principles of Unionism
and have at all times aided morally and finan-
cially other Labor organizations in need; and
Whereas, The fact that the members of the
Brewery Workers Union are compelled topa-
tronize Union goods only by penalty of heavy
fine makes it the duty of all workmen to recip-
rocate by doing their duty toward the cause
of the brewery workers; and
whereas. Ellis Wainwright, the President of
the st. Louis English Syndicate, two years ago
told comittee OF this Il. and L. U. and lately
n committee from Brewers and Maltsters Union
No. that he would have nothing to do with
Organized Labor, that they could go to hill;
be it
Resolved, Ia the to-day's meeting of the
Trades and Labor Union to make the fight
against the st. Louis scab breweries spe-
cial feature by enforcing the boycott and
only patronizing places where Union beer is
sold exclusively: as it is fact that in many
cases embers of organized Labor are hood
winked by barkeepers while drinking
bottle beer because they very often
keep Union and scab bottle beer to-
gether After the bottles have been placed in
the ice water for short time the label comes
off and no one is able to say whether he is con-
Stunning Uni,n or scab beer Yes, very often
the barkeepers paste the Union beer label on
bottles 6lled with scab beer and so try to make
tha affort q sh the hovcntt invalid.

Just in the walnut shade.
On either side an arbor
With rich grape vines covered DER,
A hOney-suckle trellis
Embow'rs the low front door,
The narrow brick edged pathway,
With sea beach pebbles laid.
Winds its way towards the threshold,
Across the walnut's shade.
And as from toll returning,

Dragging weary footsteps
To the place Of mine abode;
Comes running cross the grass plot.

Who greets me with winsome grace,
Beneath the walnut's shade.

to District of Columbia affairs. The cal
endar was soon cleared, however, and the
remainder of the session was spent in COM
mlttee OF the whole, consid ering the bill
to repeal that section of the tariff law pro-
wang for rebate on alcohol used in the
arts and med icinal com pounds.
Evans of Kentucky, on behalf OF the
Ways and Means Committee, offered an
amendment providing for the appoint
ment OF a committee of three Senators and
three Representatives to consider the
question relating to the use of alcohol in
the arts ana manufactures free of tax and
TO report to the next session of Congress.
In advocating the passage of the bill
Evans stated that no regulations could be
framed by the Treasury Department, as
the language of the section directed, that
would protect the Government and
that the Government stood to lose be-
tween $250,000 and $500 900 in claims every
day since it was enacted
Russell and Hill spoke in opposition.
The latter gave notice that he would move
to strike out the repeal clause and insert
instead an amendment for committee OF

NEW BISHOP TO AFRICA,
Dr.. Hartzell Elected by the

Conference.
The Long Delayed Fight Between Lay
ard Ministerial Delegates
Comes Up.

CLEVELAND, OHIO, May 25.-The Gen.
eral Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church to-day elected DR.. Joseph G. Hart
zell of Louisiana Bishop to Africa.
But four days of the session remain, and
all speeches were limited to five minutes.
Trustees of the new university at Wash
ington were named during the morning.
They are all Eastern men. The long
deferred fight between the lay and minis
terial delegates came up when the COM
mittee on constitution reported the new
constitution. The majority report want a
referendum to be composed of ministers.
while the minority report demanded that
the lay members be given voice in the
referendum. DR.. A. j. Kinnett of Phila-
delphia made a strong argument in favor
OF laymen.
r. S. Warthout of Michigan declared
that the report of the constitutional COM
mittee was failure. "What a miserable
farce was the consideration of the woman
question by this body. We first considered
the question as a judicial one, and then
compromised it by virtue of our legislative
powers. That kind of work makes our
conference ridiculous. l am opposed to
the report. because it gives nothing new"
A motion 10 amend the report was lost.
The committee on Epworth League
recommended that certain members of the
board of control be appointed by the
General Conference instead of by the rep
resentatives of the league. The recon-
mendation was adopted.
Bishop Hurst presided over the after
noon session and again showed himself
utterly deficient in parliamentary law and
in curbing the restless spirits of the con-
vention. The scenes of disorder were only
equaled by those which occurred when he
presided over the convention in it's dis
cussion of the woman question. Nomina-
tons of al additional secretary of theFreed.
mems Aid Society were in order, and out
of field of four NJ. G. Mason of Savan-
nah, Ga, colored, was chosen on the first

faced Swindling.

SPRINGFIELD OHIO, May ga San
Francisco man is at present badly wanted
in Wooster, Ohio. From Developments it
appears that he is bigamist OF unbounded
ambition. The story is this:
Four years ago there arrived in Wooster
tall, heavy set man, evidently about 55
years of age. He was h man of good ad-
dress, and as he seemed to have plenty of
cash he was not long in gaining stand
ing in business and society circles. He
represented himself as the patentee of a
wire fence, of which he said he had sold
hundreds of miles. He gave his name as
Samuel B. Hussellman, and through hav-
ing once met Jehn Kunert, became ac-
quainted with Kate Kunert, his widow.
She had some money and coy home on
the leading residence street of the city.
Hussellman proposed to and welded Mrs.
Kunert at the home of friend in Dallas,
Tex. On returning to Wooster Russell
man had the home of his wife torn down
and replaced by a fine $4,000 mansion. 1t
turned out later that he had used his
wife's money in doing this, besides using
great deal of cash and leaving a mort
gage on the premises for $500.
About the time the house was COM
pleted Marshal Ellsperman received sew
eral letters from woman in San Fran
cisco who claimed to be Hussellman's
wife and mother of four children. She
was anxious to have him prosecuted for
bigamy.
Hussellman learned of the receipt of the
letters from California and suddenly left
Wooster. This was two years ago. Not
great while after this Mrs. Hussellman re-
ceived letters from Auburn, Ind, which
showed apparently that there was woman
there who also claimed to have welded
him. Since that time she says she has
learned that there are several other
women who claim to be wives of Hussell-
man. Nothing has been heard from him
for over year until few days ago, when
the Washington Cd. c. papers contained
long article telling of Hussellman's
transactions in that city, and of his inr
dictments for swindling in selling deeds
for patent wire fence to which he had no
claim.
The Wooster wife on hearing of his be-
ing wanted offered to furnish a full de-
scription so he could be identified. The
woman is nearly crazed through the vii
lainy of Hussellman, having let him use
up al of her ready cash and signed mort
cages which she is sorely pressed to pay.
Her beautiful home may soon be SOLD as
result OF Hussellmans scheming rascality.
