Annoying Shinglers' Union Question
Again Disturbs the Meeting.

Annoying Shinglers' Union Question
Again Disturbs the Meeting.
The Building Trades Council held its
regular meeting last evening and the an
noying question of admitting the delegates
from the shinglers again came up.
The Carpenters unions are determined
not to recognize the shinglers in any man
ner, and several of the other unions favor
recognizing the much-discussed union as
branch Of the building trades.
When the subject was brought up the
secretary read the following decisive letter
from the District Council of Carpenters,
which is similar in spirit with the decision
of the massmeeting OF carpenters held on
Thursday evening:
I am instruetedYby the council to notify the
Building Trades Council that we VIII not un-
der any circum stances recognize the shinglers
as q union, and win not work with them; also
to notify you that any job struck on account
OF shingerS Will not be finished by union ca +
penters.
After a heated debate that lasted until
midnight the matter was laid over for
week
A communication was received from
| Chicago giving the record OF Charles j.
Burschki's troubles with his woodworking
employees and of his having shot two men
who struck from his shop.
The resignation of r. T. McIvor as
business agent was accepted, and J. j..
Connolly of the Plasterers' Union was
elected to fill the vacancy. The business
agents were instructed to strike all jobs
where non-union men were at work.
The organizing committee reported that
the Electrical Workers Union IS likely to
affiliate with the council. Hereafter the
! council will meet at 1859 Mission street as
the Labor Bureau Association, from whom

To which he replied: mo. you can't;
just try me.

That was not the only conversation
Osbourne reported in his testimony. He
told OF talk he had with Miss Ashley
about E. J. Baldwin. She asked him if he
was acquainted with the California horse
man, and he replied that he had heard of
him anc inquired why she asked.

THREE YOUNG BURGLARS.
They Rob Junkshop to Pay Debt
for Candy.

They Rob a Junkshop to Pay a Debt
for Candy.
The small sum of 25 cents has been the
means of placing boy of the tender age
OF IL years behind prison bars on charge
of burglary and has caused the issuance of
two warrants for the arrest Of two other
tiny lads on similar charge.
Bert Clark is the name of the youthful
law breaker who is now in custody, and
Walter Dennan and Willie Kensel are the
embryo burglars for whom the police are
searching. Yesterday afternoon the young
trio pried board off a junkshop owned
by John Belasco, at the corner of Shipiey
street and Hubert place.
Once inside they ransacked the place
and carried off valuable pair of embalm-
er's scales and number of tools. These
things were sold to another junkman for a
small price. If the story the young prison
er tells is true the burglary was planned
and carried out simply to enable the
youths to pay debt of 25 cents which
they had contracted through their fond
ness for sweetmeats.

Typographical Union, Print

these trades to organize a council in con-
formity with the laws of the National
printing trades organization.
An interesting discussion was INDUCED
in relative to printers union label. 1t was
the sense of the council that such label
should be adopted, to be used only in Of
fees wholly union. 1t is likely that the
council will adopt label similar in design
to the one selected by the allied print ting

The Power
of Manhood.

w power you nave lost all
the best of life. There is q
charm gone from your exist
ence, and you miss it more than
anything else.
But when you regain it after
years of incapacity your heart
will leap with joy-then the
bright spirit will shine forth in
your eye, and the happy smile
in your countenance will tell
your acquaintances that you
have found new existence.
Then you meet your friends
with the strong clasp of the
hand and the look of confidence
which tell them that "here is
the newborn man"
Your every action bespeaks
new manhood. You are then
better man physically and men
tally than if you had never
known weakness.
"You can say that I was
nearly a wreck in every way,
but I am now better man than
ever thought OF being" says
L. L. Jaccard, the Jeweler, of
San Leandro, CAL, after using
DR.. Sanden's Electric Belt.
Some men feel that they are
not weak, though they are not
what they might be in manly
vigor had they not lightly trans
gressed the laws of Nature.
These are just the ones who
most appreciate the value of DR..
Sanden's Belt. In a few weeks
they learn that it can make them
twice as strong as they were.
Before l began using your
Belt I thought there was not
much the matter with me. but
after using it a month | have
found the value Of good health"

vitality seems to grow stronger
and more bnoyant every day.
There seems no limit to your
energies. You can do twice the
amount of work you formerly
could, and not get weary.
II can do as much work as

Words cannot tell of the full

who have been restored to man
hood by DR.. Sanden's Electric

its happy patients ? You can
learn how great has been its
good work by reading the little
book, "Three Glasses of Men,"

The Shinglers' Side.

The shinglers claim the right to follow
shingling as trade and they do not in
tend to be driven out Of the business if
they can help it. There are about fifty in
the city and not over four are non-union
men.
They do not protest against carpenters
shingling under their union rules. G..
Barker last evening. while awaiting the
decision of the carpenters, said that no
union has right to refuse to recognize
another union although their lines of
work may overlap on certain occasions.
At a meeting of the Metal Roofers'
Union last evening it was decided to recog-
nize the shinglers as union and their
rights to representation IN the Building
Trades Council, in which the metal roof
ers have delegates.

CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-The reports as to
the condition of the crops throughout
the country and the general effects of
the weather on the growth, cultivation
and harvest of same, were Tuesday
made by the directors of the several
climate and crop sections. The reports
received at Chicago were as follows:
In the southern states the week has
been very unfavorable owing to con-
tinued excessive heat and general lack
of rain. In the states of the central
valleys and northwest the week has
been very favorable for growing crops;
but has been unfavorable for
threshing and grain in shock and stack
has sustained further injury from ex-
cessive moisture. Under the excessive
heat and dryness of the past week the
deterioration of cotton has continued
over the greater portion of the cotton
belt In the southern states corn has
suffered further injury and only
very light crop in that section
promised. The general outlook, how
ever, is for an exceptionally fine corn
crop in the principal corn producing
states. Much of the crop is now prac-
tically safe froHa frost.--Ip Kansas some
has been cut, and in Illinois will begin
this week. In Ohio, Pennsylvania, New
York and Virginia, the crop is in good
condition and cutting is progressing
favorably.
kentucky-Local showers in east
portion. Drought with intense heat is
seriously affecting crops in west por-
ton, where it threatens disastrous re-
suits to late corn and tobacco. Early
corn also damaged. Worms playing
havoc with tobacco. extensive fields
being abandoned to them. "Firing"
also complained Of Oats and hay not
improved. Irish potatoes and cabbages
rotting. Pastures are drying up and
gardens need rain.
Indiana-Heavy local rains begin
ming of week. Corn maturing and will
be safe from frost from Septem Der to
Is. Tobacco cut unusually early.
Wheat and oats still rotting in shock.
Rains prevented thrashing and plow-
ing. Large crop of tomatoes.
Ohio-Hot, showery weather fore
part of week, latter cool and fair. Gen
orally too much moisture though grass
and corn made good progress. Corn
well advanced for season and with ces-
sation of rain and continued warmth
will make heavy crop. Tobacco mostly
in good condition. Potatoes rotting
in ground and fruit on tree from ex-
cessive moisture. Apples average crop.
peaches and pears plentiful Hay and
oat harvest finished, threshing in prog
ress and grain much damaged by rain.

CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY.

Two Members of the Cortes and Fifteen
Others Arrested by the Spanish Authori-
ties
BARCELONA, Aug. l9.-Ever since the
recent rioting in this city, the authori-
ties have been on the alert to prevent
a recurrence of the disorders. A close
watch has been kept on certain repub'
licans, who, in connection with
other members of the party through
out Spain were believed to have been
active in fomenting the late disturb
ance. AS result of this surveillance
Seniors Marti and Ribot, both republi-
can members of the Cortes, and Is 9TH
ers, were Tuesday arrested. 1t is
charged that they are implicated in a
conspiracy having for its object the
creation of disorders in connection
with the coming embarlation of
reinforcements for the army in
Cuba. 1t is believed that the repub-
licans have made attempts to tamper
with the loyalty of the troops, and
sought to induce them to mutiny rather
than to serve with the colors in Cuba
This plan is thought to have been eff
fectively frustrated and no trouble is
apprehended when the men destined
for service in Cuba, 10000, are dis
patched to the island.
The most important arrest that has
been made is that of Gen. Estebanez,
who was minister of war in the repub-
lican government which followed the
abdication OF King Amedaus, in 1878.
