The anarchists of Chicago are making ready to celebrate the anniversary Of the hanging of the anarchists, but they will not have the assistance of the Chi eration received an invitation to assist, and the matter was fully and freely discussed. The first speech after the letter of invitation was read was: We've heard that rot before" John Heating protested tearfully against such language in a gathering of work ingmen. The four dead anarchists had borne labor's burdens, he said. They had been put to death in order to kill off organized labor and the eight-hour movement. Workingmen owed them a debt of remembrance and gratitude. Let us acknowledge our debt in pub- lic," said John, 'and not sneak into dark alleys to do it." Those were Jesse NWeston's sentiments, too. Tt is time to be men," he said, "and to stand forth boldly" Victor Williams had his doubts. Admitting that Spies, Parsons and their associates "lived in advance of their time," he confessed to fear that reviving the memory of the Hay market affair wouldn't do organized labor any good. J. H. Payne denounc- ed anarchism as the arch-enemy of the trades-unions, and expressed the opin- ion that the Haymarket bombs had set back the movement for the eight-hour workday in Illinois ten or a dozen years. T. J. O'Brien took the same view of the matter. He described him. self as a trades-unionist but no anar- chist, believer in living wage and the eight-hour workday but not in bombs nor in bums Those men were murderers and deserved their fate,'' said Workingman O'Brien. "A hundred times they preached murder on our lake front and advocated putting bombs to the foundations of our city They had not the courage to act out this advice, and, when weaker men did do it, they paid the just penalty with the.r lives. Trades-unionism has naught to do with such abominations.
 Then, by a vote of four to one, the invitation was rejected. The organized labor of Chicago is not anarchistic.

It now appears that the attempt to bring buyers to New York by an ar engagement for special fares on the rail- roads was an almost ridiculous failure When the great scheme was started we were assured that at least twenty-five thousand merchants would ha drawn to the metropolis by the inducements. As matter of fact the total number of country merchants registered at the rooms of the merchants association during the trade excursion period was only 3,793. Of these only 1898 came on the special low fares provided, as the remainder came from territory where the low rates were not granted. How many of the 1908 would not have gone to the city without the special fares cannot, of course, be said. But it is altogether probable that most of them were men who regularly visit New York in the fall and who merely used the special rates this year because they were to be had.

Subse- quently, however, Commissioner General Powderly sent special agents into the camps, who secured sufficiently conolu- sive testimony to justify their arrest, and a warrant for the whole party was signed by Secretary Gage and placed in the hands of Inspector Baldwin and three others last Friday.
 As soon as all are secured they will be deported at the expense of the steam ship company bringing them over.
 Up to this time the evidence against the contracting firm, who brought the Austrians into this country, is not deem ed sufficient to justify criminal proceed ings, but Hhe officials are said to be still at work on this feature of the case.

TO Sporting Editor Age-Herald:
 In reply to McE0lroy's challange, think he has a, nerve to challenge me. I can fight St 13S pounds and he VIII at least come forty pounds heavier. I will fight Mir McElroy to a finish and allow him to weigh 153 for any amount he wants to fight for, if he will weigh in at th= ringside There is not a doubt in my mind but that he would be an easy mark the same as he proved on the eve I boxed him before the Birmingham Ath- letic club. But l cannot get the back ing unless he will come to 153 pounds. I personally would not care if he weighed a ton, as have fought better men than MT. McElroy can ever be. I will put $200 in any honest mans hand for for felt to guarantee that I will come to 13S pounds and fight MT. McElroy at 153 pounds, allowing him fifteen pounds as a handicap, as I know I am that much the better man.

 MT Gise operates a small dairy" said MT. Gresham, "but 1t is kept in first-class condition. When I inspected it found it kept equally as clean and neat as any in the city and gave him a fiIst-class certificate.
 'I notice another thing" continued MT. Gresham, land that Is that the present inspector is relegating to him. self a great deal of credit for having discovered dairy which no one had ever inspected. I have never claimed to have inspected all of the dairies.
 "In my reports stated that I inspect ed about forty or fifty dairy premises. In and around Birmingham there are about eighty or ninety such places. This would leave forty deiries that I never inspected"
