Bentley said the roll-call had already
been commenced and the motion could
not be entertained. The Chair thought
Kent should be heard as the rest had,

could not they would vote against the
ordinance.
They did so and 1T was lost.
Kent then renewed his motion and it
was carried.
Devine moved that the provision
charging restaurants SIS a quarter for

THE FIRST CARRIAGE IN MAINE.

How o Minister Came to Buy It and
Why He Sold 1t.
The Rev. Francis Winter was a ma
tive Of Boston and a graduate Of Har-
vard college, says the Lewiston (Me)
Journal. He came to Bath early In
1767 and after preaching on probation
for the orthodox church, was invited
to settle, which invitation he accepted,
He was ordained in the autumn OF the
same year. He came to Bath on horse
back in company with Lemuel Stand
ish. Mr.. Winter came from Boston,
where he had associated with such
eminent men as Adams, Otis and War
ren, himself becoming an ardent pa
triot, taking the lead in the revolu-
tionary measures adopted in Bath
during that memorable period.
Mr.. Winter married Miss Abigail
Alden in 1853 and 1t is through her
that the Winters Of today trace their
ancestry back to the Puritan Maiden
Of Plymouth"
Three years after the marriage ofthe
Rev. Francis Winter and Abigail Alden
they started to visit sister Of Mrs.
Winter living in Connecticut and in
tended to ride all the way on horse
back, but Mrs. Winter became so IA
tigued that Mr.. Winter sold one Of the
horses for a carriage and harness. 1t
was called a chaise. Travelling was so
difficult that two negroes were en-
ployed to accompany them with SHOW
els and axes to clear the road. Several
times the chaise had to be taken apart
and lifted over fallen trees. The min
listers parishloners thought that 1t was
putting on too much stlye for their
pastor to ride in carriage and in con-
sequence Mr.. Winter sold it. This was
in It'll. 1t was two-wheeled chaise
the body resting on leather thorough
braces, which were attached to wooden
springs.

The sulphur mines once supported 200, 600
persons. With the growth Of foreign COM
petition, the smaller mines have been
closed up and wages everywhere have
reached the starvation limit. The worker
who earns one or two lires day is to be
envied. In all these small mines the ore
is carried out through the long, steep gal
leries on the backs Of young boys. They
are sold for the purpose when or 10 years
old. The employer pays from so to 300
Tires $50 to s6O) for these carusi, as they
are called, and they are henceforth his
until death or the military service claims
them.
Signor Rossi describes the visit made by
him to one of these mines. AS he came to
the entrance he started at the sight Of what
seemed gathering of dwarfs. Stark
naked, humpbacked, with twisted legs and
prematurely old those were the little
carusi. ''Then we heard signs Of anguish,
growing more distinct as they drew nearer
to us-the signs Of young children scarcely
able to go forward, yet obliged to stagger
on for fear that the miner should come to
beat them with his stick or burn their
legs with his lamp. They had the
skin of their shoulders and of
the spine all the way down the
back either raw or callous where it had
been abraded; and there were scars and
bruises. came on another procession Of

For Italy to heal all this distress in
Sicily, many things would be necessary.
The great landed estates should be broken
up. The peasant proprietors should be
protected against the taxes of the State
itself; and against the usury Of the gabe-
lotts. Villages should be established in
the desolate but fertile stretches Of country.
And effective laws should regulate labor
on the land and in the mines. As it is,
nothing has been dDne. The hungry dare
not CLEAN in the field, for the
land owner needs the grass for his sheep.

could develop work equal to one horse
power. Wa should then have 400 horse
power. Double the number Of men and we
should have 600 orse-power, with 1880
men at work, and at least the same num-
Der in reserve If the journey is to be carried
on continuously. Contrast the puny result
thus obtained with 10, 500 horse power
given forth by large prime mover OF the
present day, such power requiring, on
the above mode OF calculation, III, 900 men
at work and III, 900 in reserve, and these
to be carried in vessel less than 600 feet
in length. Even II 1t were possible to
carry this number of men in such vessel,
by no conceivable means could their power
be utilized so as to impart to it speed Of
twenty knots an hour.
This illustrates how prime mover may
not orly be mere substitute for muscular
work, but may afford the means Of attain
ing an end that could not by any possibility
be attained by muscular exertion, no mat
terwhat money was expended or what gal
Iey- slave suffering was inflicted. Take
again the case of railway locomotive, in
which we have from 400 to 600 horse
power developed in an implement which,
even including its tender, does not occupy
an area of more than fifty square yards
and that can draw us at sixty miles an hour.
Here again the prime mover succeeds in
doing that which no expenditure Of money
or of life could enable us to obtain from
muscular effort.

The Power of Machinery.

Speaking Of prime movers before the

Frederick Bramwell drew up an interesting
picture cf the puny thing that muscular
power, whether animal or human, really
was when compared with the vast efforts
exerted nowadays by machinery. Con-
trasting a galley, for examples vessel
propelled by oars-with modern Atlantic
liner, aud assuming that prime movers
were non -existant and that this vessel was
to be propelled after galley fashion,
he proceeded thus; Take the length
of the vessel as 600 feet. and as
snme that place could be found for as many
as 400 oarsmen on each side, each oar
worked by three men, or 2, 400 men, and

A JERSEY FROG farm.

Croaking Cop q Profitable One.
Miss Mona Seldom Of Friendship, N.
J., is a hunter Of renown. The game
she bags is frogs. For seven years she
has been supporting herself by her
Unique athletic exercise. Now she Is
one Of the most prosperous citizens OF
the little town, and she is reputed to
have bank account which, If 1t keeps
on growing, will eventually enable her
to give up frog shooting.
Before she took to frog shooting,
Miss Seldom taught school in the coun-
try regions for $40 week. She did
not particularly enjoy teaching, for her
pupils were frequently boys about
twice as big as herself, and they had
that particular form Of humor which
shows itself in being obstreperous.
Moreover, $40 week did not satisfy
Miss Seldon's idea Of proper compensa-
ton. Consequently, when she found
that frogs were costly luxury, she
resolved to invest her savings in frog
farm. Friendship being rich in boys
and swamps, Miss Seldom bought TWEEN
ty acres of land, fenced 1t in, and be-
gan to raise frogs for the New York
market, to the scornful delight of her
neighbors. They thought she was a
harmless and amusing lunatic when
they saw her practicing shooting frogs.
But when they learned that she cleared
$1,000 the first season those who came
to scott remained to initiate, and frog
shooting became a popular occupation
in Friendship. The other shooters sell
their game to Miss Seldom, who in turn
sells 1t to the market.-New Jersey

Hurrah for Mckinley and Scab Labor!
Marcus Aurelius Hanna has been and still
is McKinley's campaign manager-for the
protection Of American Labor you know.
Ye Republican wage slaves, we request you
to read the following facts:
On June 10, the following resolutions,
embodying questions to be propounded to
Marcus A. Hanna, were adopted by the
Allied Trades Unions of Ohio, and are re-
produced from their official organ, the
Cleveland Citizen:
ITO the Republican Trades Unionists Of
the United States:
"Realizing that in few short months
the union working mon Of this country will
be again asked to cast their ballots for
President, we, the delegates Of the organ
lied laboring people Of Cleveland, appe al
to Republican wage workers who have
been repeatedly told by their party news
papers and politicians that they must imi-
tate capital and organize if they would
enjoy the benefits of higher tariff, to de-
mand that the Hon Marcus A. Hanna, the
principle manager Of William Mckinley
(who, it is stated, will be a member q the
latter cabinet in case he is elected) explain
his attitude relative to labor organizations.
81. Ask the Hon. N. A. Hanua If he did
not aid in destroying the Seamens Union
OF the Lower Lake Regions and then con-
tribute a fund to send A. R. Rumsey, his
scab procurer, on pleasure trip around
tho world as an acknowledgement OF his
services.
SO Ask Maj McKinley's bosom friend
the HoH NJ. A. Hanna. il he has not taken
prominent part in wrecking the Mine
Workers Unions Of Pennsylvania.
SO Ask this tremendous political gen.
eral, who feeces his workingmen with one
hand and spends money lavishly with the
other to purchase a Presidency, the Hon.
NJ. A. Hanna, il he did not destroy the
union of his street railway employees and
positively refuse to allow them to organize.
~. Ask the great President Maker
employees of the Globe Ship Yard that 81. 30
per pay is sufficient wages for them when
competitors were paying more), but If they
would vote for Mckinley, he would favor
paying 81. so per day.
''5. Ask the unselfsh Hanna if he is not
at this moment erecting mansion for his
son and employing scab labor and disre-
garding the wage rate and eight day
of the building trades.
sc. Finally ask Mr.. Hanna, before his
candidate is given the nomination for the
highest honor in the land, if destroying
workingmen' S Unions and paying pauper
wages for long hours of toll is his inter-
probation of protection to American labor
and prosperity and patriotism"
On motion the resolution was adopted
after striking out the words 'as an ac-
acknowledgement Of his services" and the
Secretary instructed to forward it to the
Chairman of the National Republican Con-
venton at st. Louis.

LONDON. ENGLAND.

The international Labor Congress.
The international Socialist Congress,
which meets in London on July 81, will be
far and away the greatest in point Of
numbers, and probably the most import
ant in its bearings, Of any Congress the So
calists have yet held. The London Com
mittee, in conjunction with delegates from
the Zurich Committee, where continental
Socialism has its headquarters, have been
working up the progran and elaborate
preparations for the past six months.
Their time seems to have been well spent.
The Congress Is to be no mere palaver over
Socialistic formula, but resolute and Or
derby organized effort to draw all Trades
Unions and other working class organiza-
tions into some kind Of utilization with or
ganized Socialism. So the agenda instead Of
calling the meeting an International Social
lst Congress, will be headed in bold lines,
International Socialist and Trades Union
Congress. Every European country, ex-
cept Turkey, will send representatives.
Australia and America will also have their
Delegates. The London Zurich Council,
after long consideration, have decided to
ignore the mandates of delegates from An
archist Groups, French, German or Eng
lish. Amongst the men thus rejected is
Gustav Landauer OF Berlin.
The French Socialists have announced
their intention to move that the aim Of the
Socialists as a party sis the conquest
Of political power as the best means
Of destroying the Capitalist regime and es-
tablishing the International Socialist Re-
publicu Besides this declaration the
counter resolution Of Dutch trades union,
that the Congress confne itself solely to the
domain Of economic questions, sounds like
the voice Of humility. But the Dutch no
ton will! have the support OF the English
trades unions and a majority of the Con-
gress. The more important Of the English
trades unions are holding aloof from the
Congress, but the Independent Labor party
and number Of the minor unions will be
fully represented. That pseudo philosophic
body, the Fabian Society, which counts
among its members the poet artist, William
Morris; the novelist and art critic, Mr. Ber-
nard Shaw, aud all the eight and lcading'
Of English Socialism, will ask the Congress
to vote the immediate naturalization and
multiplication of everything in general,
including "the manufacture and retailing
of tobacco, alcoholic drinks, bread, supply
Of coal and milk and other universal
necessities. - There is a fine bold sweep
ABOUT this ''othsr universal necessities, -
which should induce the Congress to ac-
claim it. After six days session the pro-
ceedings terminate with monster demon.

How to Walk We'll.

When a girl walks she should be
trained to hold her shoulders we'll back
and to keep her arms close to her body.
The chest will then be thrown out, not
form an inward curve, and the head
must be held up fearlessly. Some wo-
men go through life with the head held
a little forward, reminding one of
nothing so much as an inquiring tor
toise out on a voyage Of discovery.
The foot should be placed on the
ground on the ball first, not on the
heel, or quite fiat. The latter way
robs one of all grace, and to put the
heel first is too ungainly for words.
1t is just as ugly to mince along on the
toes; 1t looks as though the ground was
over-heated and unable to be trodden
on. Even when climbing a hill, or
mounting the rather dingy staircases
of town-built houses and flats, the head
should be held up, not dropped as
though you were searching for lost
sixpence.

Last week British Columbia logger
sent the cook of his camp to Douglass,
the British Columbia station just
across the line from Blaine, to get an
express package. The Monaghan came
to Douglass, and instead Of stopping
there, wandered over the line to the
Great Northern Depot, on this
side, where he sat down. A
jealous deputy marshal spied
him, and after a few questions
found out he had no papers. So he de-
tanned him, and according to law the
only thing that could be done was to
deport him to China, although Mckee
came down and explained and tried to
have him released to go back and cook.
Sunday the train had just started
south with this Monaghan on board.
when some one yelled: There's an
other onew Sure enough, there came
another big, fat, wabbly-looking Chi
nese across the line. The train was
stopped instanter, and he was ques-
toned. He was on this side of the line
without papers, and the funny part Of
1t was that he was e. cook, who had
been sent from Westminster to take
the other fellows place as cook in Nc
KEGS logging camp, and, mistaking his
location, had wandered too far south.
He cried when he knew his predica-
ment, but law, as interpreted by the Of
ficers, is stern, as we'll as surprisingly
silly, and he will go back to China
along with No. 1. In the meantime
Mckee has no cook.-Whatcom Rev.

The Protest of Hunger.
by HUGH J. HUGHES.

by HUGH J. HUGHES.
You ask for a song Of our greatness
A wreath for Columbia's shrine;
give you the protest Of hunger,
That frowns on your circling wine:
Far better the leaving Of revels
The while that the hungry are fed,
Than the voice Of the heart stricken mill
ions,
Who shall turn from Columbia dead.
She will die for the woes Of her children,
Or ever the age shall grow wan,
And the Future shall liken her glory
To the dew fields that sparkle at dawn.
She will die alone. and Of hunger,
And none shall weep over her bier,
For that Terror has parted her children,
And that Hatred has manacled the tear
On the Temple of State has been written
''Upharsin!' in letters Of flame,
And her death bell is rung by the myriads
Who swarm in the alleys Of shame.
Vince not if they call to you, "Brother"'
The bond of your frithing shall win,
And the twain so averse in their fortunes
Are one in their union for sin;
For out from your mansions and alleys,
Unmasked in this light of the sun,
Shall come forth hoi lie to outrlval
The task of the Goth and the Hun.
In vain that you throng to your churches
And offer your roof bounded prayers,
While, lean. at the door of the cotter,
The were wolf of perjury stares.
You give of your anise and cumin,
The 1.-THE of your stealings you pay,
But the needlier deed is forgotten
To succor the manned by the way.
And how do you think will give answer
The Lord Of the bootblack and thou,
When We twain shall stand rased of trap
pings,
And meet win Him, brow to brow?
Will We then bride the Giver Of Life.
The Judge Of the Quick and the Dead?
Will We turn the Scales Of His justice
With the ballast of powder and leadS
Ye have sent forth the Daughters OF Hun
ger
To live on the wages Of shame;
Ye have pillaged world Of its virtue,
For niche in the Temple Of Fame;
And trow you shall come to your doom
ing,
And Death shall glut on its prey,
When over the Vestal Of Nations
Shall hover the Ragnarok Day.

MILWAUKEE, WIS.
APhenomenal Boycott.

n
The boycott has been one of the moA
phenomenal occurrences in the history Of
the Labor movement in the civilized world
and has attracted great attention through
out the country. For over month the
cars Of the street railway company were
run without passengers to speak Of, and
over nine tenths Of the people Joined in the
popular remonstrance against the greed
and rapacity Of the tax-dodging,
street stealing monopoly. The people
suffered their self-imposed incon-
venience much longer than was
expected when the boycott was de-
clared through the spontaneous sentiment
Of an outraged populace. For the first
three or four weeks of the strike the peo-
pie were given good buss service, but it
was found impossible to make the buses
pay expenses, and the service then became
so poor that many people were forced by
circumstances to take the cars. But from
the beginning Of the strike an army Of
workingmen continued to walk and would
continue to do SO until the boycott had
been declared at an end through the mu-
tual agreement of the local labor leaders.
