Getting What They Voted For.
Eveleth, Minn., Dec. %, '96.
Editor Labor World:-In
reference to the laboring mems
condition in this section of the
Mesabi range I will state
that it is similar to the Jews
when they were depressed by
the Egyptians. Old miners
say they have never seen such
slavery, and if man should
have prophesied this condition
of affairs fifteen years ago, he
would have been strung up to
a tree for insulting us.
We were promised good times
-prosperity-as soon as conf
dence was restored. The ma
jo1ity of the miners, not know
ing the difference between the
two political parties, only by
name, voted as their masters
told them and thought that
right. Now the very peo-
pie who showed themselves to
be "voting cattle" are playing
another tune, and one can hear
some very wild utterances

his determination to retire.
Fraternal delegates to the
British Trades Union congress
are George E. Mcneil of Boston,
often referred to as the father
of the trades union movement
in the United States, and Mar
tin Fox, president of the Iron
Molders union.
In the matter of the eight
hour assessment the vote stood:
For 5 cents per capita, 800 to
1871; for 2 cents, 665 to 1910;
for 1 cent, 1862 to 327. Six of
the thirteen delegates who cast
the 327 votes against the latter
proposition, including the dele
gate from Duluth, had voted for
5 cents, and cast their ballots
against the one-cent assessment
as a protest against the half
heartedness of the proposition.
The eight-hour day is within our
reach whenever we want it bad
enough to takeit. But to go after
it with a d0n't-care- whether-we-
get-it-or-not expression is worse
than to do nothing at all. It
encourages the idea that we are
insincere.

here after some years absence.
In an interview she said:
"Yes, this is my first visit to

ence in one of the brightest

"1ow about your dresses,
Miss Ellis; could you give me
any description of them?"
"Not in my limited time," re-
turned the actress; and then
with a merry twinkle in her
brown eyes, "Do you know,
when you ask an actress for
description of her dresses, you
are assuming an awful con-
tract, for there is no subject
that she can talk more about,
and longer about, than her
stage dresses, and if [ were to

against Mckinley and the re-

something like distinguished
mining captain said the other
day when a miner referred to
Mr.. Mckinley being elected

The mines in the vicinity of
Eveleth have not increased
their working forces since the
memorial 3rd of November.
The Fayal mine where work
was suspended shortly before
election has started up, yet
there are hundreds of idle men
here living on sharing rabbits
and confidence! The wages
paid at the Minnesota Iron
Co.'s mines are on an average
of 81 per day. About a week
after work was resumed at the
Faya1 mine the company
wanted to reward the men for
the true and one sided stand
they took in the election and
gave them "prosperity." The
drivers reported to the tram
mers a cut from 10 to Is cents
and from 10 to 9 cents a car, but
they were told if they only had
confidence they would remen-
Der them again in the near
future. A week or 50 later
they thought the men did not
"prosper" enough and were
again subject to more gen.
crosby from the company. The
drivers came around again to
the adjustment of the. men
and were notified that they
we're again cut from 9 to 7
cents and from 13 to II cents a
car. The men consider them
selves prosperous (?) in reality
now.

HOW TO ESCAPE COLDS.
Not by Coddling, but by Becoming Able
to Endure Necessary Exposure.

Not by Coddling, but by Becoming Able
to Endure Necessary Exposure.
1t is not always sufficient to point
out danger. 1t is often Of even greater
Importance to show how the danger
may be averted. Most people properly
recognize a cold as avoidable and think
they are greatly to be commended for
the prudence they exercise in protecting
themselves, but if they did but know 1t
they are really doing all they can to
make themselves susceptible to colds by
weakening their resisting powers.
A German professor once wrote a
long treatise, with learned title, on
how to avoid catching cold After trac-
ing the history of colds from the earliest
ages, studying their causes and symp-
toms and cataloguing the remedies
which have been used by the most emf.
nent physicians of all times he conclud-
ed with short chapter on prevention
His plan was to inure the back OF
the neck to drafts by having some one
direct current of air upon 1t from a
bellows three times a day.
The writer had the correct idea, al
though its practical application was
clumsy and he was long time in reach
ing it The best and only way to escape
colds is to meet the causes that produce
them and not to run from them.
Let the body be hardened by cold
sponge bath or even a cold plunge, fol-
lowed by brisk rubbing with a
"scratchy" towel, every morning. Let
the clothing be adapted to the season,
though always as light as possible, but
keep the neck uncovered-no turned up
coat collar, no muller, no boa. Never
let the temperature in the house rise
above 70 degrees in the winter. Air
every room Systematically every day,
no matter what the outdoor temperature
may be- Always have fresh air in the
bedroom. There is nothing poisonous Ill
might air, popular belief to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.
In word, don't be always afraid OF
catching cold, don't coddle, but meet
cold and wet and changes Of tempera-
ture like man, or rather like horse,
and you will then run better chance
Of being as strong as horse.
OF course you must strengthen your
armor where it is weak, but if you rec
ognize in yourself weak place, "cold
spot, don't cover it up with more
clothes, but tougher it and tougher
your entire body until it is one homo
geneous resistant whole. Youths Com

WESTMINSTER ABBEY.
Something About This World Famous Old
English Church.


English Church.
The architecture of Westminster abb
hey dates back to q remote period, but
long before any part of the present
GLORIOUS pile" was in existence Sax
on church stood upon the same spot.
Many years before the conquest the
Saxon church was connected with a
1nonastic body of the Benedictine order,
which gave the name Western monas-
terry, or Westminster, to its place Of
abode, to distinguish it from st. Paul's,
in London, which was known as East
Minister.
Considered INTELLECTUALLY, the first
church here of which we have any au-
thentic history was erected by Edward
the Confessor and conseerated on Holy
Innocents' day, 1865. The greater part
of the abbey was built by Henry LII in
the style known as early English. The
west front, with its grandly beautiful
windows, belongs to the fifteenth CEN
tury, as does also the completion Of the
nave and the aisles The extreme length
of Westminster abbey is Oil feet the
width across the transepts Is 2O3 feet
and the width across the aisles 79 feet;
the height of the roof is 102 feet
The fortunes of the abbey have fol-
lowed and are closely interviewer with
those of the nation, and many, there
fore, are its historical associations.
There the sovereigns Of England have
been crowned ever since the conquest.
The coronation stone, brought from
Scotland by Edward l, may still be seen
under the coronation chair used by
Richard H. This chair has ever since
been occupied by English rulers during
the coronation ceremonies
Within the walls of the abbey the
funerals of many crowned heads have
taken place, and sovereigns and mem
bers of royal families have graves and
tombs beneath its roof Oliver Crom-
we'll never wore a crown, but his re-
mains were deposited for time in a
vault beneath Henry Wis chapel with
pomp never surpassed by that of royalty.
The south transept is known to the
world as the poets corner" because
there, sleeping their last sleep, are
Chaucer, Spenser, Ben Jonson, Cowley,
Dryden, Beaumont, Addison and Ten
nyson and near by are monuments to
Shakespeare, Milton, Isaac Watts, Gold
smith and Johnson.
In the north transept are buried many
renowned statesmen. There lie Pitt,
Wilberforce, Fox, Peel, Canning and
Palmerston Many eminent divines,
men of letters, generals, admirals and
other persons known to fame are buried
beneath the marble pavement or have
monuments by its pillars or on its his

The Cooking of Game Birds.

Most game birds and animals, be-
cause of life of ceaseless activity, do
not take on fat, and such should be
larded or cooked with slices Of bacon or
salt pork placed on them. Do not serve
birds with heads on and undrawn, as is
quite generally practiced, the latter
point being a relic of savagery, the for
mer an offense TO sensitive nerves. 1t is
pleasanter to enjoy bit of choice flesh
without being so forcibly reminded that
we are eating dead birds This is not
