woMAN's RELIEF CORPS.
Fourteenth Annual Convention Held in
 Branford Yesterday.

bIdulOEu GSleIudy.
 Branford May 12.-The Fourteenth annual convention of the Woman's Re lief corps of Connecticut, opened in the Congregational church here this afternoon. Owing to the rain several of the delegates were delayed in reach ing Branford and the opening of the convention proper, scheduled for 1 D. m., did not take place until 1S0.
 This morning various committee meetings were held, and the depart ment council held a meeting at the Delavan house.
 This afternoon Mrs. Frederick Beach of Branford delivered an ad dress of greeting which was responded to by Mrs. Cordelia A. Blakeman of Shelton, the senior vice department president. The secretary read the res ignation of Mrs. Mary F. Matthews of Bristol as department president, which took effect in March, when Mrs Lizzie 1T. Arnold of New Haven became head of the orga1liz ation in her stead.
 The report of the department presi- dent. Mrs. Arnold, was then presented. It showed the amount expended in re- lief by the corps in the state from February 23, 1896, to May 1, 1897: Cash, not including that for National Wo- mans Relief corps home, $1,550.40, es timated value Clothing, groceries, fueD, s1,32775; cash turned over to posts, $81841; cash expended by corps for National Woman's Relief Corps Home, $5456; value of boxes sent to National Woman's Relief Corps Home, s4218.
 This home Is located at Madison, O., and is supported by a percentage of the per capita tax from all departments and voluntary contributions At the present time 1t has sixty inmates, wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters of veterans, and army nurses The su- perintendent is Mrs. Clare H. Burleigh, a past department president of Massa- chusetts, and widow of the late Judge Burleigh of Athol.
 The cash expended by corps for the Soldiers Home at NorOton was S2750; estimated value of boxes to home at Noroton, $S37S; cash expended for de- partment relief fund for Soldiers home and hospital Noroton, S116; cash expended from department relief fund for other relief work, cases not com ing into local work of corps, $122; cash expended by corps for Memorial day in the south, $6760; cash expended by corps for ''Andersonville Prison Prop erty fund.-" S104.10; cash expended for woman's national council, SIPS; total, S4, ,351. .53.
 Number of persons assisted was $1,- 428; number of corps in the department, 49; number of members, 2,S2S.
 No figures can give an adequate Knowledge of the earnest, enthusiastic workers of this department. The inter- est of the Soldiers Home at Noroton and the National Woman's Relief corps home at Madison, Ohio increases each year. The members enter heartily in- to the work of Patriotic Teaching" and "Flag Salute," Patriotic Primer" and Independence Chart" into the public schools, but never forget the grand object for which they were banded together, assistance to the needy veteran and his dependent ones.

Trust is grasping and pernicious syndi-

with the present sugar schedule because
it is able to squeeze six or eight million dol

THREE BLACK BALLS REJECT.
Secret Ballots Candidates Must
Now BE Taken by j. o. A. M. Councils.

PITTSBURG June 1S.-To-day's session
of the National Council of the Junior Order
of American Mechanics was the busiest of
the week. great deal of work still re-
manned undone and the delegates We're
anxious to clear the decks for final adjourn-
1nent tonight. The report of the board Of
officers of Pennsylvania and the legislative
committee protesting against any cut of
the State appropriation for public school
purposes was adopted unanimously. The
report of the trustees of the orphans home
at Tfff1n, o., was approved, and an appro-
priation of $500 for operating expenses OF
the institution for the ensuing year was
made.
In regard to the election of candidates to
the subordinate councils, sweeping
change was authorized. Heretofore four
black balls rejected a candidate, but those
called on for their reasons sfor doing so.
This was changed to make three black
balls reject a candidate, and mo reasons can
be required. The ballots shall be cast in Sc
cret, and no one need know who opposes
the candidate. This is aimed to secure a
higher standard of membership. The reJec-
ton of a candidate by three or more black
balls cannot be reconsidered.
The convention adjourned sine die this
evening. The session is considered gener-
ally satisfactory, but the increasing of per
capita tax from IL to IL will find many
opponents throughout the order. Already
fight against the increase has been made
among the delegates, which they say will
Daughters of America sought recognition
as an auxiliary, but were fought hard by

THE GREATEST OF ALL TRUSTS.

The speeches of the few senators whose
chief mission in Congress the past few
years has been to advocate the free and
unlimited coinage of silver have, for the
most part, been devoted to the showing up
of trusts the most of which are no longer
in existence. Except the Pettigrew amend
ment to relieve the articles manufactured
and controlled by alleged trusts, of duties
which would cause confusion in revenue
law, these senators have presented no prop
osition for the bringing of trusts under the
control of law They are simply posing
with view of deceiving the people.
In the course of the debate in the Senate
ON the duty on mica, few days ago, at
tention was called to the fact that it was
imported largely from country in which
labor was paid not over ten or fifteen cents
a day This statement embodied the idea
of one of the senators, an extensive silver
mine owner. He remarked that the reason
that the cheap wage country could sell it's
mica so low is that lit buys our silver for
five cents and sells it for ten" BY this
he meant that the countrrr is on the silver
basis and the little money it has is silver
coined at double it's commercial value as
bullion
While the remark of the silver senator
was wholly irrelevant except to call item
ton to the fact that the really lowest wage
countries are those which use exclusively
in trade silver currency; it lays bare the
purpose of the silver-mine owning syndi-
cate in this country. It's members are not
willing to accept the market price of silver
for the output of their mines, but they
have been insisting that Ito use the words
of the senator) the people of the United
States shall pay them ten cents for Ave
cents worth of silver bullion" Last year
the syndicate taxed itself and its employees
to elect a President and Congress in favor
of that astonishing scheme. IL adheres to
its purpose now. 1t is spending money to
lead the people to believe that they would
be better off if they would command Con-
gress 10 stamp every fifty cents worth of
silver bullion mined annually in this coun-
try, one dollar.
The syndicate of silver-mine owners
which was organized during the last cam
paign TO furnish funds for the Bryan cam
paign, is the richest and most powerful
combination in the world 1t has dozen
members who are worth over S10.e0O0O1
EACH and large number of millionaires.
In the past no class of people who have
become suddenly rich have made a more
profuse display of wealth. The syndicate

WILL WALK ON WATER.
Robert Cook Says He VIII Tread the
Ohio from Pittsburg to Cincinnati.

PITTSBURG, June 1S.-Robert Cook, of
Boston, is in Pittsburg arranging to per-
form the remarkable feat of walking from
Pittsburg to Cincinnati on water, distance
of four hundred miles. Cook is the inven-
tor of a pair OF shoes by which he can walk
ron water He claims that with the use of
them he can make as good time as a man
walking along an asphalt street. While in
Chicago a few days ago this was ques-
toned. Cook offered to wager $1,000 that
he would walk a distance of four hundred
miles in fourteen days, and do it easily This
was quickly taken by John Leopold,
West-side saloon keeper of that city Cook
deposited his side of the bet and the saloon
keeper did the same. The money is now in
the hands of responsible stake holder,
and all that remains for Cook to do to be
richer by $l,e00 Is to demonstrate his ability
to walk on the Ohio. The start will be made
from the Sixth-street bridge in this city on
Sept. / at noon. He will be accompanied
by a small steam launch. After completing
his arrangements here Cook will go into
training on Lake Pontchartrain, La

The first experiment in khipping American

The first experiment in Whipping American
butter to England has brought out a point
that has often been demonstrated in the
case of other commodities viz, that in
order to get into that market the butter
must be packed in a particular way The
same is true of many manufactured ar
ticles sent to Central and South America.
The people want them made, packed and
shipped in certain way, else they will not
buy them. European manufacturers con-
form to these national peculiarities and
thereby get the trade which Americans lose
by insisting on packing and casing goods
according to their own ideas. This is very
independent, but it is. not business. In re-
gard to butter English wholesale dealers
will not handle it in rolls or frkins. They
want it put up in cubic packages of 1122
pounds, or half or quarter that weight. If
packed in that form American butter will
receive fair consideration in England,
though the rate at which the first shipment
was sold shows it will be almost impossible
to compete with British butter in prices.
