AN UNLAWFUL AGREEMENT,
New York's Highest Court Makes an
Important Decis

I'm portant Dec siOn.
Employers and workingmen through
out the country will be much interest
ed in the decision of the Court of Ap-
peals of this State in the case of Cur.
ran VS. Galen. involving the legality OF
an agreement between a brewery assO-
citation and an assembly of the Knights
of Labor. whereby no brewery belong
ing to the association was to employ
any person who did not belong to that
particular assembly or to retain any
one for more than four weeks in it's
service who should decline to join that
labor orga nizatiOn. Such an agreement
has been pronounced unlawful In all
the courts. The case was originally
heard in March, 1893. at Special Term
in Monroe County, by Judge William
II. Adams. The complainant was
Charles Curran. who charged the Ale
Brewers Association OF Rochester and
the Brewery WOrkingmen's Local As
sembly Of the knights Of Labor there
with conspiracy to prevent his obtain
ing employment. 1t appeared that
Curran had been employed by a brew
cry belonging to the association, that
he declined to join the Knights Of La
Dor, and that he was consequently dis
charged by reason Of the agreement al
ready mentioned. Justice Adams held
that the defendants had no right to
combine for the purpose Of depriving a
person Of his right to labor simply be-
cause he did not consent to Join a speci.
| fed labor union. His judgment was ar
firmed upon the opinion written by
him, by the General Term Of the fifth
department in March, 1894; and that
affirmance has not been upheld by the
Court Of Appeals.

Of the heavens. The age OF the tree Is
uncertain. In fact, its beginning is un-
known. John Thorpe, the botanist, at
ter a careful examination Of the scores
of annual layers Of bark says the age
Of the tree Is at least 400 years. 1t Is
by far the largest tree In the Missis-
sippi Valley, and is only exceeded in
size elsewhere by gigantic cotton
wood in New Jersey and another near
Philadelphia.
Fancy the many startling and roman
tic events which have TRANSFERRED under
the shade Of the beautiful cottonwood
itself. Many strange tales Of history,
the most Interesting Of all the great
Northwest, have taken their rise since
the cottonwood was sapling. 1t be.
gan to spread its roots abroad a hun
dred years before white men set their
faces toward the Western wilderness.
1t was a mighty tree when the red man
was the monarch Of Illinois, and the
Illinois tribe the monarch of the North
west. During the reign Of the cotton
wood as king Of the Illinois woods 1t
saw the total extinction of the Illinois
Indians and the rise Of the Pottawato-
mics. 1t saw, early in the nineteenth
century, the birth Of the military post
a few miles south, near the mouth Of
the river, which has grown into a
mighty metropolis. And it may live
to see the decay Of that metropolis,
rearing its great head above the city,
and unmindful Of the changes of time
and the passing of human events.

A Bicycle Built for Ten.

A double quint," or a bicycle built
for ten, is the latest marvel in the line
Of wheels now being constructed. There
are two machines called the nonaplet,
or machines with nine seats, but they
have not been seriously considered as
successful by any Of the large bicycle
firms. owing to their bulk and the diff
Guilty in handling them. The manu-
facturers Of the new wonder claim to
have overcome the difficulty Of using q
big machine on anything but straight

Tommy's Idea OF Babies.

Babies are usually young. Now
and again specimens may be found of
twenty years and over. Real, live, un-
mistakable, heard-a-mile-off babies are
always young.
Babies have features. With a good
microscope you can see baby's nose.
1t mas high forehead-one that goes
right over to the back Of its neck. A
blby's ears are put on for amusement,
solely to relieve its great expanse of
cheek. The places where its eyebrows
ought to be are there, but the eyebrows
have not arrived, which give rise to a
suspicion that babies are bare-faced
creatures. A baby has eyes, which
eyes it chiefly uses to express astonish-
ment-evoked, no doubt, by the antics
and language Of those about. 1t has a
mouth, too, which it keeps for putting
its hands and feet into. together with
keys. pencils, coins, pieces Of coal, and
other odds and ends 1t may find lying
about. A baby's mouth is by far the
most useful Of its possessions.
Babies wear clothes. The chief OBJ
ject aimed at In dressing baby is to
lose the baby among the clothes. II
you have foot and half or two feet
Of baby, you will require from forty
to fifty yards Of clothes to dress 1t prop
erly. The reason for this Is that every
baby is the best baby that ever was
born. and the fact must be emphasized.
Beside, somebody might wish to steal
it; and in such case the longer he had
to look for 1t, the greater would be the
chance Of catching him."

SAW THROUGH HIS NOSE
The Eye Was Destroyed, but Not the
Sight

Several authors of the sixteenth CEN
tury mentioned the existence of a man
who, having lost his eyesight, could see
through his nose. The story, much
doubted at the time and pronounced fab
ulous by physicians, is snevertheless true,
if the researches of f. Douliot prove COR
rect. 1t seems that the victim had lost
his right eye early in life, and later on
while climbing cherry tree fell upon
fence the pickets horribly mutilat-
ing the left eye, the cheek and the nose.
The surgeon calico in considered the eye
entirely destroyed, sewed up the wound
and it healed in time. forming large
scar where the eye had been. A year
later the man, then considered stone
blind, laid in the grass. when he sur
prised himself by discovering that he
could perceive through the cavity of the
nose the sky and the color of the flowers
on the meadow arouno him. From that
time on he practiced for five or six years
to see with his nose, which to him be-
came practically the organ of vision. He
gradually became more proficient in see
ing ir this way and could see everything
beneath him while he remained quite
insensible to the light from above.
The condition of this man can be ex-
planned scientifically. Although the
lens of the eye had been torn from its
socket by the fall the optic membrane
and the nerves at the rear of the cavity
of the eye had retained some of the see
iug power When the eye had healed to-
gether small hole in the bone over the
nose must have formed which acted as
{, le.,, ca In the Same waV as DinhOle can
be used to take a photograph picture.
This also proves that the retina OF the
eye acts like camera obscura where
the objects from the outside becomevis-
ible when the rays of light arrive there
after passing through small opening.

The Coming Universal Trust

The report that the Standard Oil trust
has obtained or is about to obtain COM
plete control of the lead, leather, tobac-
co and whisky interests of the country,
together with a combination of gas in
terests, including Chicago Gas, may have
been premature but there is every rea-
son to suppose that such a consummation
will be reached before long. The Stan
card. Oil magnates already control the
business of the country in oil. iron ore
and sugar; they ore on the point OF con-
quering the steel and coffee industries;
they own much of the shipping of the
lakes and most Of the great tourist'ho-
tells in Florida; they are directly inter-
ested in several lines of railroad, and
they can dictate terms in the matter Of
freight rates to the entire transporta-
ton system of the Union. They have to
find investments every year for about
100000 of surplus profits, and with
that amount and their skill in manipu
lation it would be a simple matter to OBJ
tain control of two or three new trusts
annually. OF course every new enter
prise absorbed by Mr.. Rockefeller and
his associates adds to the income TO be
invested the next year.
1t is hard to see any end to this PROCESS
short of the absorption of the entire
wealth of the country by little group Of
capitalists. 1t seems clearly to be a
process that must go on with accelera.- :
ing velocity. Most people of the poor,
the comfortable and the moderately well
to do classes live up to their incomes
and have nothing to invest. Many even
Of the very rich do the same thing. When
we find few men, acting together who
are at once prudent and enormously ,tch,
whose living expenses absorb no apprc-
ciable proportion of their incomes who
have practically the whole of a stu
pendous surplus available every year for
investment, and who have the most per-
feet inside knowledge OF the test oppor-
tunities for profit and the shrewdest
faculty for taking advantage OF them, it
is hard to avoid the conclusion that
those men, ii they live long enough and
hang together, must eventually become
practically the sole proprietors of the
nations industries. There is every req
son to believe that unless we have some
radical change in political conditions the

A Fox Among the Chimney-Pots

High up on the roof of the Boston tav-
ern, hundred feet and more from the
pavement, lives a little gray fox that has
spent nearly her whole life with the
smoke of the chimney blowing about her
and the roar from the streets of the city
filling her ears day and night. Taken as
cub from her native woods of Maine,
she has grown up with the slated roof
OF the tavern as her world, and with
Tom, the porter, who takes care Of her,
as her only companion.
Originally there were two Of the cubs.
They were taken by a gentleman who
was on fishing expedition on the Bon
ME river last June, and sent as present
to one of the guests at the hotel, who,
not caring about keeping them, gave
them to Mr.. Clark, the proprietor of the
tavern. Mr.. Clark, had place made for
them on the roof where there is plenty
Of room to run about, but a short time
after they came one of them became
frightened, jumped from the parapet
and was killed. The other, taking warn
ing by the fate of her comrade, was more
careful, and has gradually become mod
erately tame. She will eat from the
hand of the porter, and when he is alone
will come to him when she is called, al
though she will not allow him to handle
her at all. The moment any strangers
appear on the roof, however, she is off
to the farthest corner and will keep the
whole width of the roof between herself
and them as long as they remain in
sight.
Her lot is not an unpleasant one for an
animal in captivity, for she has the
whole roof to range over and is seldom
disturbed. The roof has only a slight
slope; it is smooth, slated surface,
surrounded by high parapet and brok-
en- by numerous chimneys and by the
light-well and skylights which rise in
the center of it. The fox has the run Of
the whole of it and explores every part,
people in the nearby buildings being
sometimes startled by the sight of fox
running about on the roof of hotel in
the heart of the city. In one corner she
has box filled with earth, where she
crawls when she wants to go to sleep,
scooping out round hole with her paws.
