the best information that can be OBJ
tanned it is believed that the use Of
reindeer are the only means by which
these supplies can be gotten through,
if at all. it is therefore recommended
that reindeer be purchased in Lapland
to the number of 500 and permission
granted to bring the reindeer drivers
from that country to his, for it re-

taken into that country need not to

able to pay the cost of such supplies. 4"

settled Monday evening when Kid Nc
Coy ard Dan CreedOn meet on Long
island to fight for a purse of $500.
Mccoy is the unbeaten middleweight
who won many hOnOrs in south At
RIGA. Mccoy has as good q right to
the title of middleweight champion as
anyone else save Bob FitZsimmOns, but
the sporting world is not willing that
one man should hold two champion
ships at the same time, and the lanky
Australian must therefore be content
with heavyweight honors. Since
Fitzsimmons took the title from Jack
Dempsey at New Orleans, no one has
been able to put up a good claim for
it. The interesting thing about the
coming fight is that it will show
whether Mccoy has the stuff in him
for O. heavyweight. Creedon is over 80
years of age, in which respect Mccoy
has an advantage. The kid has an ad-

to report that within the past year
very large number Of federal labor
unions for unsktlIed workers have
been organized and from them d much
larger number OF trade unions. There
/ nave been quite a number of strikes
within the past year, but the changes
in the causes which have produced
them are worthy of note. The strikes
Of this year, with few exceptions, have
been for higher wages, shorter hours,
and the extension and recognition OF
union principles. Our organizations
report with gratifying unanimity the
very large number Of successes
achieved, advantages gained and the
growth and extension of the power of
organization enjoyed. The movement
to reduce the hours Of labor is always
one which commands the first atten-
ton Of organized labor. We hold that
no condition is satisfactory nor any
solution complete which fails to elm
mate the curse and the degrading in
fiuences Of unemployment. and so
long as this evil shall be with us our
best efforts will be concentrated to the
reduction Of the hours of labor of all
until the desired end is attained.
The establishment Of a postal saw
ings bank system and also a postal
telegraph system, long since demanded
by organized labor, seems nearer ac-
complishment than at any previous
time.

be wise to modify our position insofar

tors; but we should hesitate to give
Our endorsement to any legislation,

ding are Excommunicated.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Dec. 14.-Religious
circles in this city are stirred up by
the public accommodation Of Mrs.
Charles Miller, formerly Miss Kath-
crime Moriarity, her mother and all
her relatives and Catholics who par
ticipated in her marriage ceremonies
and the reception which followed, be-
cause the young woman was married
by Protestant minister. The letter
Of communication, from Ri. Rev.
Bishop Burke, pastor of the Cathedral
congregation, was read at all the SER
vices in the Cathedral. On Thursday
of last week Miss Katherine Moriarity
was married to Charles A. Miller at
the First Presbyterian church, by the
Rev. George A. Trenholm. After the
marriage ceremonies a reception was
held at the home of the brides
mother. In his letter of eXcommuni-
cation Bishop Burke spoke of the "un-
usual publicity that had been given to
the affair."" and for that reason
placed, not only Mrs. Miller, but her
relatives and all Catholics who par
ticipated in her marriage ceremony
under the ban of the church.

it has been found that the anti-civil

complete repeal Of the law and will
oppose anything short of repeal AS
the republican movement is not

modification of the law, there ap-
pears to be no basis by which the anti

WHEAT TAKES A TUMBLE.
December Delivery Falls ~ Cents,
Selling at 991a Cents.

Chicago, Dec. 14.-There was a
December wheat ON the board Of trade
Monday. The price went 21a cents
under the talismanic dollar mark. Last
Thursday the December option sold
as high as 81 90. Monday it opened
at $1.05 against 1.041a at the close
Saturday. The decline continued IN
til the price reached 971a cents. Then
there was a reaction to 81 .O11h Five
minutes before the close, however,
December sold at 81 again and the
final trading for the day was at 991A
cents.
Nearly all the big decline occurred
in the space of not more than half an
hour. Notwithstanding the sharp
decline there was not much trade and
On the surface little excitement. Up
to noon the market was held fairly
we'll considering the government crop
figures, estimating the crop 532, 000,0
bushels, or nearly 100000 above
former crop estimates. About that
time the market for December began
to weaken on a little selling pressure,
presumably from Armour. and the
price dropped from $1.0312, where it
had previously been selling to 81. 01h.
Then the trouble began. Allen and
Grier, acting, it is said, for the Letter
party, known as the December bull
clique, offered heavily of that delivery
and the market went down Il and
u at a time. The market was I'm
doubtedly affected greatly by the
heavy receipts, probably 10000 bush
els of contract wheat in here Monday.
There were rumors on the floor that
heavy settlements had occurred at
above a dollar, and the reports were
given some credence on account Of the
apparent absence of a short interest
during the decline.

in select circles in London and Paris
that serious trouble has arisen be

extravaganza. The vast fortune o.,

question of a possible separation by
mutual consent, or if not, a legal de-
cree, to be applied for by the countess,
is now being discussed by relatives and
lawyers acting on behalf of both hus-
band and wife. Matters appear to have
been brought to head by the absolute
refusal of the countess to advance any
more money for the accomplishment OF
