Organized Labor Repeats Its Pos


Organized Labor Repeats Its Posi-
ton Towards Senator Cuikin.
Present indications encourage the be-
lief that all traces of threatened trou-
bic between organized labor and the
base ball park will have disappeared
by next Friday, when the trades and
labor assembly will hold a regular
meeting before which the matter will
come up for final disposition. Capt.
Comisley is reported as having said
that the cause of the differences will
be removed by the fifteenth of the
month, ard it was on the strength Of
that statement that last nights special
meeting CT the trades assembly allowed
the matter to so over
The ordinance reducing the license
for bill posters, passed by the board of
aldermen and now pending in the as
sembly, was discussed and the secre-
tary instructed to communicate with
the latter body in the interest of the
measure. A special committee was ap-
pointed to appear before the committee
on streets, to which the ordinance was
referred, for the same purpose. Dele
gate Bonn, from the stage employees
union, declared that quite number of
unemployed members of the union he
represents were DESTROYS of doing bill
posting, and were the license not prac-
tically prohibitive would do so. The
committee referred to above consists Of

A newspaper clipping, to the effect
that the state labor commissioner was
interesting himself in the candidacy of
w. E. Culkin for position in the
United States land Office at Duluth, and
in which Mr.. Powers is made to say
that Mr.. Cuikin was always a friend
of the bureau and that the sound mon
ey men in the ranks of organized Ia
Dor were friendly to him, was read
by Delegate Collins, and. as evidence
that such subjects had no influence in
deciding the attitude of organized la
Dor to Senator Cull1in, the secretary
was instructed to communicate with
representative Page Morris. of the
Sixth congressional district, in whose
power the appointment is supposed to
lie, and reiterate the assembly's oppo-
sition. The Duluth and Minneapolis
central labor bodies were reported as
having taken similar action in the
premises. The officers of the American
Federation of Labor located in Wash
ington will also be asked to interest
themselves in the matter.

the officials of the state superintendent s
Office have discovered that, while the law
providing for normal instruction in the high
schools provided that the course of instruc-

high school board, the first section of the old
law, prescribing the branches that should
be taught, has been reincorporated in the
new, so that the section comforting upon the
state high school board authority to prescribe
the course of study, is composed merely of
idle words.

An Approprinte vehicle.

The late Catholic bishop of New
foundland had a piano of which he de
sired to dispose and which a friend, a
Protestant doctor, desired to purchase.
Considerable chaff ensued before the
bargain was struck at price which the
bishop declared ruinously low. The
only vehicle to the town which would
accommodate the piano was the hearse
and inthis it was driven to the doctors
door, who came to the bishop in high
dudgeon. "Why on earth" he asked,
.did you send my piano in hearse"
The bishops eyes twinkled as he an
swered: "Why? Oh, because it was
such a dead bargain"

CHAIRS AS AtuxuRY.
The Habit of sitting Down of Conn
paratively Recent Origin.

Most people believe that the habit of
sitting down as practically themselves
is a common human habit, old as the
race itself, in no way associated with
civilization. But Frederick Boyle, who
seems to have one of those inquiring
minds that are not content to accept
things as they are without first tracing
causes and history, contends that sit
ting down is an acquired habit that
marks height of civilization.
He estimates that even at the present
day not more than ten per cent. of hui
man kind practice sitting on our plan.
Men who do not sit have two attitudes
for resting; women use one of their
own. Squatting "on the heel" is IA
vored in India and China. In this posi-
ton the weight of the body falls upon
the toes, and to keep the balance COM
Portable the arms must hang over the
knees, the hands dangling. A European
trussed in this manner promptly feels
q pain in the calves. but he can under
stand that habit makes it restful pos
ture. In fact, the golfers of England
use it altogether.
The cross-legged attitude is general
from Siam eastward through the Malay
countries. In the jungle men crouch,
the knees raised, the arms folded over
them, and the chin resting on the arm.
The women of that region rest upon the
floor with the knees bent sideways,
thus throwing the weight on the outer
part of one thigh.-a mighty uncom-
Portable posture to a civilized eau
casian.
Chairs really seem to be no more nee
essary to the race than pianos.-Golden
Days.

RAILROAD WRECK.

Thornton, Ind, July 30.-The Chicago
Express on the Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Chicago & st. Louis railway, due in
Cincinnati at a. M, was wrecked at
2:SO. o'clock. Four killed outright and
several slightly injured.
There was audeliberate plot to wreck
the train as the coupling pin was driv-
en- into the switch so as to hold 1t open
and throw the fast train from Chicago
to Cincinnati off the track as 1t passed
this point. The, engine and tender, ex-
press, mail and baggage cars were
thrown from the track and wrecked.
The coaches and Wagner sleeping cars
remained on the track, and none of
the passengers were seriously injured,
although they had a lively shaking up.
1t is reported none of the cars were
Thrown from the track. Those seri-
ously injured are: Seth Winslow,
Greensburg, Ind, engineer; and b.
Crickfore, Indianapolis, fireman; and
two unidentified tramps killed out
right. While there may be many re-
ports, about the number injured, there
are not many suffering from, hurts.

of the marriage of an aunt, had with
much pains made as a present a little
blue, heart-shaped pincushion, trimmed
about the edges with beads. His moth

pirate verse of Scripture upon it. After
celebrating moment, the little fellow
thought of this verse, recently heard
in his Sunday school: Father, for

do" and offered it for approval, to the.

CannihnIiarn I'm Africa.

1t appears from an account of his OBJ
servations by Capt. Sidney Hinde in the
Congo Free State that the canniIoalistic
practices of the natives throughout
that region are not fairly understood by
the civilized world. Capt. Hinde went
to Africa in 1891 in the service of the
king of Belgium. He had no concep-
ton before going there of the extent
to which human flesh is used for food
by the natives. 1t seems that a consid-
cradle portion of the slave traffic is to
provide meat for those who purchase
the prisoners. Every battle is followed
by a horrible feast, and the parts un-
consumed are smoked and sailed for
future use. Even in times of peace the
practice is observed, and Capt. Hinde
says it was not unusual for prisoners
Of slaves to come to him and beg the
privilege of Strengthening some COM
panion to be used for food.

TURTLE CHEWING THE JOINT.

long. My heart gave leap of exulta-

tie, reached out with it and managed
to scrape that precious handspike with

Just at this juncture the turtle de-
cided to take hand in. 1 had given
the signal to be hauled up, and now ]

at the rope. The turtle left off folding
WITH the tube, and, padding down to
see what was making such commo-

once.
"As it happened, however, he took
hold of the big copper nut on the top
of my headpiece, and that was too
tough morsel even for his beak, so that
all he could do was to shake me bit
With him at my head and Larry jerking
on my waistband, you may imagine I
could hardly call my soul my own.
However, + began jabbing with my
handspike into the unprotected parts
of the turtles body, feeling around for
some vital spot. In moment the water
was red with blood. All I could do
was to keep on jabbing as close 70 the
neck as I could. And the turtle kept
chewing at the copper joint.
81 believe it was the clam that helped
me most effectually in that struggle.
You see, that grip on my leg kept me
as steady as rock. If it hadn't been
for that the turtle would have had me
end over end in no time. AS it was, after
a few moments of this desperate stab
