THE A. o. u. w. ARCH.
A TIP FROM PITTSBURG.
London Employers Decide to Adopt
American Methods of Fighting
Trade Unionism.

New York. Sept 1.-THE London cor
respondent of the Evening Post sends
the following:
is England to see civil war on the
Pittsburg model? That question is
seriously raised by this weeks situation
in the great engineering dispute.
Through Col. Dyer the federated en-
ployers have thrown down a challenge
demanding the freedom to manage
their own affairs which has proved so
beneficial to American manufacturers
The smashing of trades unions, and not
the As hours demand, has thus become
the ground of battle, and that it should
be so clearly defined while trades
union congress is sitting suggests the
spirit in which the Employers Fedora
ton is determined to fight the issue.
The congress yesterday took up the
challenge unanimously and appointed
committee to prepare a scheme for the
federation of all trade unionists to rem
der mutual assistance in fighting en-
plOyers. The employers have thus
forced every trade unionist to regard
the defeat of the engineers as death
blow to trade unionism.
Meanwhile the employers charge
the engineers trade union with being
virtually insolvent, masquerading as
friendly society for the provision of sick
relief and old age pensions, and using
the money collected for such purposes
to fight the masters. The society as
yet has made no reply to the charge"

INFLATED WITH BEER.
Frank Barry Has to Be Tied to Pre-
vent Floating Off

st. Louis, Sept. 14-Frank Barry
drank 30 bottles of weiss beer while
playing cards for the drinks last night.
He drank all there was in stock and
called for more.
The more he drank the bigger he
grew and lighter he became.
By 3 o'clock this morning he could
not walk without bouncing about like
a rubber ball His feet would not stay
on the floor and he became a human
balloon. About daylight he was so big
and airy that he had to be strapped
down to the floor of the saloon.
AT the dispensary DR.. Kearney was
afraid to take the inflated man from
the ambulance, the risk of losing
him in the upper atmosphere was too
great. So he climbed into the ambu-
lance, felt his pulse, asked some ques-
lions and told the driver to take him to
the city hospital.
The gas was pumped out and Barry
now remains on earth, just like his fell
low mOrtalS

A woman cannot be too careful of her
health. Her happiness as maid, wife and
mother is dependent upon it. Every wo-
man should realize that her general health
depends upon her health in a womanly way.
When a woman complains of being slug
gish, dizzy, nervous and Respondent the
average doctor attributes these symptoms
to heart trouble, or disorders of the liver.
He is not right once in ten times.
When a woman feels this way she is usu-.
ally suffering from weakness or disease of
the organs distinctly feminine. DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is the best of all
known remedies for suffering women. It
acts directly on the delicate and important
organs that bear the burdens of maternity.

Gus. Thousands of women who were weak,
nervous, fretfu1 and unhappy wives are to-
day happy, healthy, helpful and robust as
the result of the use of this marvellous rem

thirty years chief consulting physician to
the Inva1ids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,

the assistance of a staff of able physicians,
he has prescribed for many thousands of
ailing women. He will gladly, without

Animal Led Into Hotel and Feasted
on Watermelon.

Hull Mass. Sept. 14.-Although Hull
is always prolific in unique events, the
most amusing incident of all took place
last evening at the Winsor House.

peddler, left his horse near the front
entrance of the house while he went in
side to get something to eat During MS
absence the horse was unhitched from
the wagon and led onto the veranda,
through the hall and the parlor- A
watermelon was then taken from the
wagon, cut up and spread on one of the
ia bles of the room for the horse to eat.
There was great excitement when the
animal was discovered by the inmates,
contentedly swishing his tail and Gag
erly devouring the fruit.
IT was with great difficulty that the
horse was persuaded to return to the

serve all as lesson and but little delay

1t is noticeable in a general way that
the movement of live stock and especially
feeders and graziers in the east two-thirds
of the state, the agricultural portion has
been as follows:
From the southwestern portion heavy
shipment of stockers to these yards and
scarcely any shipped to that locality,
whilst the southeast portion of the state
has neither bought or sold any consider
able numbers of stockers, whilst the
north half of the state has bought stock
ers heavily and sold nearly none of that
class, in brief the movement of stockers
has been from the southwest portion of
the cultivated part of the state to the
northern half of the state.
The above is a true index to the effect
of drouth and excessive hot weather

The aggregate values of all the above
stock sold is a sum that in comparison

Defines the Mugwump.

Mugwump is the name given to small
group of people who are eminently re-
spectacle, but W no are very much impress
ed with their own superiority, and who
imagine they have monopoly of political
virtue. They are so sure that they are
better than their party, and than any
party, that they use most of their talents
in depreciating other peoples efforts.
They came into existence in England with
the reform bill movement QS66) as what
John Bright called "Adullamites. They
deserted from the really progressive polit-
ical party and joined the Tories to defeat
the extension of the suffrage. In this
country they came into existence in 1884
as deserters from the Republican party to
Cleveland. They deserted nominally for
personal reasons against Mr.. Blaine, but
really to oppose protection. Since then
they have been conspicuous as fault finders
of everything constructive and American
and of everybody who showed any evil
dences of political or industrial success.
They are usually Intelligent and active,
but seldom ''the most helpful men in the
country" They are constitutionally dis
trusters of human nature, and are nearly
always found on the negative side of all
really wholesome, flesh and blood move
ments in public affairs. There are many
active, helpful pioneers in social reform
who sometimes ally themselves with Mug
wump movements because of the indif-
ference of the old parties, but such men
seldom possess the characteristic Mug
wump traits. From Gunton's Magazine
for November.
