Now Rush for Places in the
Ranks.


At nearly every meeting of Co. b,
n. G. H., applications for membership
are being handed in so that it will not
be long. if the good work continues,
before the requisite number of men
will be obtained. The present mem
bers are doing all in their power to
increase the numbers and certainly
their work in the interests of the COM
pany is being crowned with success.
1t has been proposed that upon the
first Tuesday of each month, the reg
ular meeting night, special feature
in the way of entertainment be pro-
vided for the boys. a committee has
been appointed to look into the matter
and report at the next meeting. The
first of the series of entertainments
will probably be a euchre party with
suitable first and BOBBY prize. The
second will probably be an informal
dance and the third an evening OF
music and flow of wit. All sorts of
good times will be arranged for the
BOYS.

IVORY USED BY THE ANClENTS,
Relics Show That the Prehistoric
Races Knew Its Value.


The earliest recorded history-we
might say prehistoric, the hieroglyph-
ical-that has come down to us has
been in carvings on ivory and bone,
says Appletons' Popular Science Month
ly. Long before metallurgy was known
among the prehistoric races, carvings
on reindeer horns and mammoth tusks
evidence the antiquity of the art. Frag-
ments of horn and ivory, engraved with
excellent pictures of animals, have been
found in caves and beds of rivers and
lakes. There are specimens in the
British museum, also in the Louvre, of
the Egyptian skill in ivory carving, at
tributed to the age of Moses. In the
latter collection are chairs or seats of
the sixteenth century B. c., inlaid with
ivory, and other pieces of the eleventh
century, B. c. We have already re-
ferred to the Nineveh worries. Carving
of the precious substance" was extern
sively carried on at Constantinople dur
ing the middle ages; combs, baskets,
horns, boxes, etc, of carved ivory and
bone, often set in precious stones, of
the old Roman and Anglo-SaXon periods
are frequently found in tombs. Cruel
fixes and images of the Virgin and
saints made in that age are often grace
full and beautiful. The Chinese and
japanese are rival artists now in their
peculiar minutiae and detail.

Girl Were One and the Same.
John was an Office boy, but was big
enough to appreciate the good-looking
girl when he saw one. He was nice
dresser, and withal quite fine APP
pearing boy. He was not well salts
fed with his position, but his ambition
was such that he hoped one day to be
a stenographer and master of type
writer. Keeping this in view, he had al
ways practiced on a machine in the
Office. Indeed, all his spare time was
put in that way, says the Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune.
One day his employer passed through
the Office, and noting John at work,
as he had noted him 100 times before,
he said: John, you're always trying
to work that typewriter. What do ex-
pect to do in the future?"
John got red in the face, and he won
dered who had been giving him away
in that fashion.
"Who told you SOP" he stammered
out.
"Oh," said the man, lone of the boys
told me about it."
81 know who did that" said John. at
was Charley. He tried to work that
typewriter girl over there in the pink
waist, and just because beat his time
he had to give the snap away to you, sir.
I'll get even with him."
And even to this day they guy
John as to how he gave himself
away and mixed the girl and the ma
chine.

Metallic Cheese.

1t has been a common theme of con-
graduation by not a few writers and
philanthropists, says the London
Lancet, that the days are over when
people were poisoned by the indiscrim-
mate practices of the adulteror, and
that now they are only cheated. What
will be said, then, of the announcement
that both the salts of zinc and lead are
used in the preparation of cheese?
Cheese spice" is the delectable name of
crystallized sulphate of zinc, which, ac-
cording to Mr.. Allen, the public analyst
of Sheffield, is used to prevent the heav-
ing and cracking of cheese. Worse still,
Mr.. Stoddart, another public analyst,
has described a sample of Canadian
cheese in which he found metallic lead,
and it is probable that the highly poi
sonous acetate of lead was employed
for the same purpose as the sulphate Of
zinc.

BIBLE HIS ONLY WEAPON.
queer story of Hanse Hatfield, of the
HntfieId-McCOy Band of Outlaws.


Mrs. E. P. Chapman, of Hartford City,
W. Va, vouches for the truthfulness of
the following story concerning Hanse
Hatfield, one of the widely-known out
laws of the Hatfield-McCoy gang:
She was in Kanawha county some
time ago instituting a Rebekah lodge,
and, on her way home, stopped over
Sunday with the family of merchant
in Charleston. Hanse Hatfield was in
the city at the same time and was the
guest of the merchant, being there on
a purchasing tour. On Sunday evening
Hatfield asked to be shown the Meth
odist Episcopal church, and, on being
informed that there was no service in
that church that evening, accepted the
invitation to go with the merchants
family to the Presbyterian church.
Upon arriving at the church Hatfield
took the merchant to one side and told
him the Hatfelds had such bad repu-
tation that he always carried a weapon.
he then proceeded to open hand grip
he was carrying. To the chagrin of the
party he took therefrom an old and
much used Bible, and, holding it up so
those near could see it, said:
This is the only weapon l ever
carry, and to get along we'll and live
close to the feet of Jesus Christ one
must carry it constantly and use it
often" The Bible was all there was in
the grip.

prising 100000 hectares, five gems were
accidentally found a few years ago.
The first diamond was picked up on the
place in 1880, and in the years since
then about $50 have been discovered.
Some years ago the count decided to
carry on the hunt for more diamonds
with vigor, though whether he. has
done so is not known to the present
writer. The count is among the
wealthiest landed proprietors in Rus
STA, and related to the Russian ambas-
sador to Berlin.

Injunctiona Denounced.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, Aug. 6.-At the regular
meeting last night of Muncie Trades Coun-
Gil composed Of delegates from the forty
odd labor unions, with over four thousand
members in Muncie, the following resOlu-
tons were adopted d~enouncing the %injunc-
lions against miners meetings in West Vir-
ginia:
Whereas, Never before in the history of
our country, have the plain, honest, prac-
teal people, the backbone of the Nation,
been deprived of free speech and,
Whereas, AS the true citizen is not con-
tent to be a mere slave for his master,
but is thinking for himself and acting in
a manner that often beWilderS and alarms
the professional schemer; and,
Whereas, We believe that no other single
question presents an equal array of talent
and that the man of affairs will find the
question of the times handled by acknOwl-
edged masters; and,
whereas, The business failures fresh in
our minds show that the question of bread
and butter is not an idle theory, but a sub
ject demanding the careful thought and
earnest attention of every true citizen,
Resolved, That we, the members of
Muncie Trades Council, denounce the ac-
ton of the mine operators and courts of
West Virginia in denying organizers the
right to speak and the miners the right
to assemble in large bodies"
Z. F.. Gould, of Indianapolis, representing
the Union, was present and spoke in be-
half Of the labOring men.

WANT ALL NEGROES DISMISSED
White Employees of Cotton Mills Make
Demands Which Are Refused.


ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 1.-THE strike of
the 400 operatives of the Fulton bag and
cotton mills against the employment of
negro labor, which was supposed to nave
been settled yesterday afternoon, is on
again to-day. A verbal agreement was
reached between the strikers and President
Jacob Elsas, of the company, and it was
given out by both sides that the trouble
had been adjusted. President Elsas declared
his Willingness to discharge the negro wom-
en- to whom objection had been made and
it was not supposed that any difficulty
would be encountered in agreeing upon a
written contract. When the contract
drawn up by the strikers committee was
presented to Mr.. Elsas this morning, how
ever, he declined to sign it and the settle
ment was declared off. The cause of the
new disagreement is the demand of the
strikers that the mill not only withdraw the
negro women who were the cause of the
strike, but that all other negroes employed
in the mill, except iremen and scrub wom-
en-, be removed and the mill obligate itself
not to discharge any of the White opera
tives on account of the strike. To these
conditions the mill managers objected,
claiming that they were not included in
the verbal understanding reached yesterday

SPRINGFIELD, H.. Aug. Cat to-day's
session of the state miners convention a
resolution to invite Governor Tanner to
address the convention brought forth much
talk unfavorable to the Governor. State
Secretary Ryan, of Braidwood, and Vice
President B. M. Hunter, of Streator, en-
phatically refused to act on a committee of
three to wait or Governor Tanner and in
wife him to address the convention. the
Governor, however was invited and deliv-
cred an address. He said he was in sym
pathy with the miners and believed they
would win the strike if they carried it on
in a law-abiding way as they have been
doing. The Governor put himself on record
as willing to do all in his power with SEN
ators and citizens to assist the miners in a
satisfactory settlement. A resolution was
passed that a body of miners be sent to
Decatur, Coffeen, Murphysboro and four
other small mines and endeavor TO set the
miners to suspend. Resolutions were also
passed to endeavor to organize al miners
now working and try to get them out.

English PLAYERS Defeated.

NEW YORK. Aug. 6.-The American
ennis cracks established their supremacy
over the visiting English team on the
court of the st. George Cricket Club at
Hoboken, N. j., to-day, before 1000 spec
tators. 1t was the final day of the tourna-
ment, and he crowd was larger and more
enthusiastic than at any previous contest.
The result of Wednesdays play had left
the two teams tied, each with three games
won and three lost. Consequently the out
come of to-day's matches was watched
with intense interest. r. d. Wrenn was
pitted against H. S. Mahony. G.. L. Wrenn,
jr., was drawn against II. A. Nisbet and
w. A. Larned met with w. A. Eaves. 1t
was the latter contest that captured the
attention of the gallery. Eaves was finally
defeated at GA, which gave Larned the
match: The match between R. d. Wrenn
and Mahony, which took place on an adj
joining court, proved a runaway for the
American champion. Nisbet was the only
Englishman who won his match. TIL re-
suit of the match left the English team
with a score for the week of four matches
won and five lost, While the Americans fin
ished with five won and four lost.

Yet the walking delegates denounce him

They want two solid lines of foemen. De

A strike in a factory was being compro-
missed. The board of walking delegates,
representing the allied trades, was in con-
sultation with TIE owners of the factory.
1t was agreed that all the strikers should
be taken back. There was room for them
as well as for the men who had been hired
during the strike. The labor leader IN
sisted that these n%oHunion men should be
discharged.
Why? he was asked.
Because they have violated a rule or
the union in taking the places of men on
trike
but they don't belong to the union"
They should belong to the union, and
they must be punished for a breach of it's
rules. There must be discipline in this
labor movement"
Here the labor leader was assuming jul
risdictiOn over men who had never ac-
knowledged his sovereignty. They were
his by some sort of divine right. This is
the goal toward which labor as we'll as
capital is tending. There is no longer room
in the world for an individual. No man
must fight for his own hand. He must be-
long to a trust and move as the trust
moves him. Perhaps it is inevitable, but
