YOUNG PETER Foss's CHUTE,
An Ingenious New Orleans Boy Who Is

| -O Doing a Land Office Business.
 There is brilliant prospect that but tons and pins will be on boom in the rear of the Tenth ward. And this very probable rise in the value of the needy little articles will not be chargeable to the Dingley bill either. It is ali on ac- count of a precocious boy of thirteen, several assistants and a gay and madly delighted crowd of other youngsters of large and small calibre and ages. This coterie of magnates own a shoot-the- chute plant of their own, and that they have fun galore with the property is best attested by a visit to the chute. The plant is of the movable order, and every night is put away in a nearby yard until the following afternoon, when 1t is brought out and placed at the corner of St. Andrew and Freret streets, and in trice is ready for work, revenue or any other old thing that comes handy.
 A visit to the Tenth ward chute will be worth ones trouble. The machinery is not complicated and the entertain ment is not long drawn out. It com mences about seven o'clock and by half-past nine at night the evenings fun is at an end and the machinery Is taken apart and safely housed for the night.
 The chute is the invention of Peter Foss, barefooted urchin of thirteen, who wears a straw hat, knee brooches of blue jean, and a happy expression. Every boy in the neighborhood of St. Andrew and Freret streets is dead jealous" of the Foss boy, for within the short space of week he has jumped into notoriety and promises to corner the entire pin and button market in
 that section. Now Peter has never manifested any marked symptoms of
 being destined to set the world afire, but his invention has elevated the good opinion in which the lad was held by his father and mother, and they
 seem to see in their little Peter a prob able rival of Thomas Edison. And sev-
 eral of the boys whereabouts look upon
 the chute proprietor with awe, and | seem to regard him with becoming veneration and respect. But Peter l Foss wears his honors with just as
 much ease and grace as he does his straw hat and happy smile, and bosses l the job of giving his neighbors rides to | their hearts content
 From the neighbors whereabouts last ! night naught of complaint was made

John L. Sullivan, but the big fellow had previous engagement. Then they tried Bob Fitzsimmons, but his man ager wanted the earth and wanted to set the date for the field day, so "Fitz' was let go. EX-Champion James J. Corbett was next communicated with. A committee from the Elks saw him at Bridgeport and also at Derby, while he was filling baseball engagements Tn those cities, and made every possible effort to induce him to umpire the game. Corbett is a member of the brotherhood and said he would like to help the local lodge along, but it would be impossible for him to otficiate at the game, as he had a series of games booked which would prevent. There fore, ex-Alderman Doughan was asked to step in, and he willingly did so.

POLICE LECTURE
TRANSLATED.

Mayor Truelsen lined up the
police force the other day and
treated the boys to a lecture.
The following isn't exactly
what he said, but it comes
mighty close to what he meant:
"There is an election coming
on and some good people are
after my scalp. I'm going to
have a close shave for re-elec-
ton and I'll need every vote I
can get. And the vote of a
Methodist or a Swedish Luth-
eran will be just as effective in
saving my political career from
the boneyard as the vote of the
toughest sport or most aristo-
cratic high-roller. The perni-
cicus activity of some of those
reformers, aided by traitors in
my official family, have put us
in a hole. Much to my sur
prise and sorrow they have
been able to demonstrate that
the laws against gambling in
the city were being violated.Not
only that, but between my bad
luck and my bad temper it has
been publicly demonstrated
that I have constituted myself
the gamblers special protector
and shield in the time of the
Civic Corporations wrath.
Therefore, henceforth the po-
liceman who permits gamblers
on his beat to get caught, will
get summarily fired. More
than this, the law does not
allow saloons to be opened on
Sunday. Heretofore my in
structions, which under ordi-
nary circumstances are supe-
rior to any law, have been that
they might run just as long on
Sunday as on any other day:
provided they locked their
front doors and pulled down the
blinds. Hereafter, however, in
view of coming events, you will
permit them to open their side
doors from 1 to 8 p. m. only
This is tough on the saloons
but it is necessary to save me
from the fanatics"

ABOUT A FREE |! FL PRESS R
Mr.. Towne Addresses Union Men.
Mr.. leonard's Unfrie ndIy
Reception. \

Mr.. Towne's name was a
drawing card at the discussion
Friday evening for the hall was
crowded and standing room
about the door all occupied.
Mr.. E. r. Cobb was elected
chairman. The subject of the
evening was "a Free Press and
how1t Shall be Maintained" and
it was generally anticipated
that the speaker would pay his
respects to the associated press
and it's habits of misleading
the people. Nor in this respect
was the audience disappointed.
The speaker was given an en-
thusiastic reception. He pre-
faced his remarks with an ac-
count of the struggle of the
press to free itself from oppres-
sive libel laws and the govern
ment censorship that is still
maintained in some Of the con-
tinental countries of Europe.
The widening of it's freedom
has progressed so far in this
country that newspapers now
are as free in the expression of
their views as individuals.
They are at perfect liberty to
say anything they please, being
responsible therefor only as in
dividuals under the law are re-
sponsible for their utterances.
But if this freedom has been
won, said the speaker, and is
not now questioned, why are
we here tonight? What now
threatens the freedom of the
press?
The press is not so free as it
might be. It does not express
public opinion, or any respecta-
bic part of it. It is not free to
express public opinion. It ex-
presses the opinion not of It's
supporters but Of somebody
else. The speaker then de-
scribed the inner workings of
the associated press. as they
have been described to him by
friends who were in close con-
nection herewith. He described
The labor world., 1897-12-25
ITS IDEA.

This prosperity business is a
queer thing. The New York
World has just made an inves-
tigation and reports that out of
$4,000 workers in that city
over $4,000 are out of employ
ment. Secretary Boehm of the
central labor organization esti-
mates the number at 100000;
so that the two estimates to-
gether show that in New York
city one man out of every three
is "enjoying' enforced idle
ness. Last year the number
was 125,000. This gives reas-
onably approximate measure
of prosperity. It is a panic
when 10 per cent of the work
ingmen are unemployed, and
prosperity when the number
falls to 33.
But we haven't considered
wages. Reports show reduc-
ton during that time of 10 per
cent. If the 100000 men at
work have suffered loss of
that much in earning capacity,
there is Figuring on the basis
of present wages) the equiva-
lent of $4,000 more men out of a
job. In other words: The earn
ings of the 100000 workingmen
in New York, as compared with
year ago, although 25,0O0 more
men are at work, is only greater
now than theh BY the wages
of 5000 men. The workingmen
individually get 10 per cent less
wages, while capital in the ag-
gregate gets the labor of $4,000
more men, or II per cent, for
the same money. And that: for
capital, is "prosperity."

sembled there to discuss "a free

Ungentlemanly insinuations
and questions we're hurled at
him until Mr.. Leonard, finding
that he would not be permitted
to make his argument intelligi-
bic, brought it to close and
the meeting adjourned.

DR.. SALTER.

Such universal expressions
of sorrow have rarely been
heard anywhere as have been
called forth by the death of DR..
Salter. His life has been an
exemplifcation of practical
godliness such as rarely is met
with more than once in a life
time. The doctor was loved
and esteemed in all the walks
of life-a man whom every
body from the highest to the
lowest coming within the cir
Gle of his influence, regarded
with unfeigned admiration.
And this sentiment was called
forth by the ever, sparkling
kindliness of heart no more
than by the persistent energy
with which he exercised that
kindliness for the practical
benefit of those who most stood
in need of assistance. There is
much would-be charity in the
world that defeats its purpose
because it is not sanctified by
true fraternity-the love of hu-
manity for humanity's own
sake. Not so any of the works
of this man. The objects of his
good deeds felt that it was not
the performance of a perfume
tory duty that placed them un-
der obligations to him, but
rather that the service grew out
of the love of a heart overflow
ing with good will-and> that
the deed itself was only a weak
Election of that hearts ardent
desire to assist and befriend.
His death is great loss to the
unfortunates of Duluth and
many a poor soul will sadly
mourn the departure of
friendly spirit that was about
their only evidence Of disinter-
ested love.

that is intended to mis1ead the
people and bolster up false
ideas on public questions. He
referred to the hubbub raised
in the last campaign about the
deplorable condition of Mexico;
and called attention to the re-
cent migration from St. Louis
county of those who, in their
search for prosperity, found it
necessary to become Mexican
ized." Referring to the mis-
representations about business
failures, his friend told him
that only one in four was
put on the wires. All this
"prosperity" stuff originated in
the inner sanctuaries of the as
sociated press, which, the
speaker declared, is "a suborned
and not free agency for the
collection of news"
-Four out of five representa-
tives of the big dailies at Wash
ington, he said, are silver men
at heart, but the necessity of
retaining their situations com
pels them to send out such
matter as their instructions
call for.
The question should have
been: "How shall a free press
be re-established?" The coun-
try press is in even a worse
condition. Usually mortgaged
to some banker, it is in such
desperate straits frequently
that it's existence depends upon
it's using the sound money
stuff sent free to country
editors.
Mr.. Towne frankly acknowl-
lodged that the question asked
was too big for him. ut will
be answered sometime" he
said, "for it is the question of
l
liberty" There are one or two
conditions that will assist the
desired result. Those who
know must labor to make
others see these things. Then
we must patronize those pa
pers that we know to be right.
"The common people have it in
heir power to make or break
any newspaper as they can any
store. Shut your ears to them
and they can't sell themselves
to those who now buy them, :"
He referred to the power Of
such gatherings as the one he
was addressing. He spoke
also of coming changes and the
"new instrument being pre-:
pared in the a1embic of time" "
and said that a new alignment
is in progress.
| The speaker frequently: di-
gressed from the advertised
| topic and on such occasions the
| crowd was liberal in it's ap-
plause, particularly when,, as
| frequently was the case, his
remarks were more suitable for
a silver party rally than a non
partisan discussion of crying
public evil.
Mr.. J. r. Bennett of St. Cloud
was called up by Chairman
Cobb at the conclusion OF Mr..
Towne's address, and presum-
ing from the previous remarks
that free silver was a Legitimate
subject of discussion, delivered
himself of a panegyric on the,
GLORIOUS cause"
And then came trouble. Mr..
George B. Leonard of Mime
apolis, a representative of the
socialist labor party, was called
for. A socialist, now, if he be
a thoroughbred, never wastes
time on side issues, and in a
minute he had the crowd fero-
cious by an attempt to show
that free press had nothing
more to expect from the silver
barons than from the gold

LEE Is NOT RELIEVED.
He Will Continue to Serve as Consul
General to Cuba.

re serve us COnSuA
General to Cuba.
Washington, Sept. 20.-The request of
President Mckinley that Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee should return to Cuba and continue
to serve as consul general for a few
months is regarded as very significant.
Last June the president selected ex-
Congressman Frank j. Aldrich, of Chi
cago, for the successor of Gen. Lee, but
intimated to Mr.. Aldrich that the ap-
pointment would not be made for some
months, as he did not want to change
officials as Havana if there was any
prospect of settlement of the Cuban
question. 1t was believed that Mr..
Aldrich would be sent to Cuba this fall,
but it was officially announced after the
conference between the president and
Gen. Lee Saturday that the latter would
return to Cuba next month. Gen. Lee
has not desired to continue in office,
but he is willing to do so if he can help
in ending the Cuban war. He was not
in sympathy with the do-nothing policy
of the Cleveland administration, but he
believes that the present administration
intends TO bring an end to the war with
in few months, and he is ready to
help in that effort.
