Delegates to the Federation of Labor Plan
to Cut Loose From h Old Parties.
Denver, May "a special from Vic
tor to the Republican says:
At 8 O'clock yesterday morning thirty
delegates to the State Federation of
Labor convention, which finished its
deliberations here last night, met in the
opera house for the purpose of discus
sing the feasibility Of taking steps in
the direction Of bringing organized la
Dor in the State together on common.
ground for political action. Wills Hall
of Denver Typographical Union, was
elected chairman, and Mrs. Augusta
Frincke, of the Denver Bookbinders'
Union was chosen secretary. A COM
mittee was appointed to draft a pream-
BILE and resolutions setting forth the OBJ
ject, character and plan OF action
which the convention should enter up
on as a new political organization.
The majority Of the committee re-
ported in favor Of starting a ~socialistic
movement among the labor unions OF
Colorado, independent of any of the old
political parties. They also favored
radical action along all industrial lines.
The minority on the committee were
much more conservative, and reported
in favor Of united action by the wage
earners, but not Independently, and
recommended afiliation with either Of
the political parties Of the State which
would guarantee the enactment Of
laws beneficial to the working classes
to the largest extent.
The debate on the report was very
warm and bitter, and while the min
GRITTY Of the committee conceded that
the socialistic proposition was right
and just in the abstract, they argued
that at the present time 1t was too rad
ical, as well as jmpolitic. For a time 1t
looked as though the convention would
end without accomplishing anything.
The cooler heads among the delegates
finally prevailed, however and the ma
jority report was amended to read as
follows: =.

Greek Reverses in EpIrus.

London, April 2S.-A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Patras, dated Tues
day evening. says:
The Greeks have suffered their first
great reverse in Epirus, and the, situa-
ton has changed with startling sud
denness. When | last ~telegraphed, the
Turks were in full and disorderly re-
treat toward Janina, and the Greeks
were ~joyously advancing. For some
unaccountable reason the absnrdly in
adequate force of only 1000 men was
detached from the Phillipiada to seize
Pentepigadia. On entering Pentepig-
ada some irregulars by mistake fired
upon the Greeks. During the confu-
sion which followed. 5000 Turkish in
fantry arrived from Janina and in
stantly attacked the Greeks.
A desperate and bloody hand-to-hand
encounter ensued. The Turks uttered
demoniacal yells and showed the
greatest ferocity, while the Greeks,
who had been without food all night
long and were hopelessly outnumbered
were taken at considerable disadvant-
age.
At Z o'clock in the evening the
Greek ammunition failed. The men
were faint from want of food, and the
retreat call was sounded.
A second force Of Greek infantry,
cavalry and field artillery, advancing
by another road, arrived an hour too
late. They also retrbated in great dis
order. The Turks now hold Pentepig-
ada, which might, however, be attack
ed by artillery.

work BY ArtihcIaI Light.

Many persons experience great fa-
tigue in working and reading by arti-
fetal light. Some attention has been
given to tdAS Subject, especially in view
OF reading and study, and the type,
paper and illumination most favorable
to comfort and health. White light is
recommended for all artificial illumin-
alton. One should never read at a
lower degree Of light than ordinary
daylight. Very low intensities cause
eye-strain and weakness, which may
result in exceedingly severe and even
dangerous mental and physical condi-
tons. 1t is now an established fact
that epilepsy is sometimes caused by
eye-strain. There are also many other
maladies that are primarily caused and
greatly aggravated by bad light while
using the eyes. Some authorities rec
ommend white paper; others, notably
experienced journalists, insist that
straw-colored paper and black ink are
less taxing to the eyes than white pa
per. The very small type used by a
great many printers is responsible for
a good deal Of eye trouble. Type
should be loaded. and letters Of larger
size ought to be the rule.

A CurIons Accident.

Anaturalist whose tastes lead him to
the investigation of curious phenome-
ma, has found a number of deep-sea
fish dead from what appear to be in
ternal explosions; indeed, this was the
precise cause of their death. A fish OF
this sort sometimes gives chase for its
prey, and reaches a higher level than
that to which 1t is adapted. Imme-
diately the swimming bladder, which
is filled with air, becomes ~distended,
and the helpless owner shoots upward
with a great deal Of speed. AS it
ascends the pressure on the bladder de-
creases, and probably long before it
reaches the surface it bursts. In some
cases there is serious distortion and
m%utilation, the creature being almost
torn to pieces. There have been some
experiments; in deep-sea angling.
Ground sharks have been brought up
from a depth of 500 feet. They are al
ways dead when they reach the surface
Of the water.

1.-The next international convention
will be held in San Francisco, July It'll

a Of LIE.

Census reports show that the dura-
tion of life is greater in the temperate
zone than in the semi-tropical coun-
tries. The average number of persons
over so years old in the United King
dom, in the German Empire, and in
Holland is n in every 1000 inhabi-
tants; in Sweden, SO, and in Norway,
80. In Russia longevity is greatest in
northern provinces. In Austria and
Portugal persons over go fall to l in
1000; in Spain, So: in Greece, Sc; in
East India, 40, and in South America
about so. In the United States com
paratiyely few persons live to grow old.
Duration of life is usually longest in
old countries. During 1896 the death
of 1873 persons over 80 years of age, IA
being over 100, was recorded in Great
Britain and Ireland. Average longevity
is greater in Scotland than in England
and greater in Ireland than in Scot
land, the birth rate being largest in
England and least in Ireland. In Eng
land the average number over so years
of age is about 7 per cent, in Scotland
TT, and in Ireland 10.5. In France it
is 1921, or 127 to each 1000 population.

A noble record is that of Trinity
Church of Boston. 1t is the church
over which that large-hearted, conse-
Grated man, Phillips Brooks, was rec
tor for SO many years. Its present rec
tor stated a few Sabbaths since that it's
work of charity during the last twenty
years had reached in contributions an
average of one thousand dollars a Sun
day for every Sunday the church had
been opened. These were voluntary
offerings for all who have needed sue
cor and the ministries Of pecuniary
help, quite apart from the costly main
tenance of the services of the church
itself. 1t shows the great influence for
God and humanity an earnest, great
hearted preacher may have over the
people who listen to his religious teach
ings, and are ennobled by the example
of his ~unselish life. 1t speaks, too,
more emphatically than words can de-
clare 1t, of the sympathy felt by men
of wealth, and by men active and pros
porous in business, for those for whom
fortune has not shown favor, and whose
lives are under the shadows of priva-
ton.

Ing Ultimate Defeat,

Athens, April 20.-The King sum
moned M. Delyannis, the premier, this
morning, and called upon him to tender
his resignation. His majesty subse-
quently entrusted the opposition leaders
with the task Of forming a new Cabi-
net. wv
The King entrusted NJ. Delyannis, the
retiring premier, with full powers to
represent him during the formation Of
the new Cabinet and only insisted that
NJ. Teotaoki should enter the Cabinet.
The leaders OF the opposition then
went to Parliament house, where a
meeting of the opposition delegates was
held. The leaders afterwards had an
other conference and drew a list of
ministers which their leaders presented
to the King. The names will be sub
mitted to the legislative assembly to-
morrow and a vote of confidence Will
be asked.
Following Is the official list Of the
new Cabinet ministers:
Premier and Minister of Marine-M.
Rail-.
Minister of Warm. Tsamovos.
Minister of Finance-M. Simopoulo.
Minister of Education-M. Carapanos.
Minister of the Interior-M. Teotaoki.
Demetrlus Rail-, the new premier and
minister of marine, was the leader of
the opposition. He has been minister
of justice and minister Of the Interior
and is well known throughout the
country as an able lawyer and orator.
He is fifty years old and studied at the
University Of Athens and at Paris.
The public tension Is much relieved
by the change of ministers, and it is
now believed that all serious danger Of
internal disorders is removed.
Owing to the absence of M. Teoroaki,
the new Cabinet will not take the oath
until tomorrow.

To STOP Fog and smoke.

1t is thought by many that the time
is not far distant when fog and the
smoke in the atmosphere of large cities
will be dissipated by electricity. AL
ready patent has been taken out in
Germany for an apparatus for smoke
prevention by means of wires stretched
inside a fue or chimney, and rendered
incandescent by an electric current.
This simple method will the
blacklist smoke, but at present it is
much too expensive for practical use.
Ordinarily each chimney would re-
quire it's own continuous current dy-
namo, which would absorb something
like fifteen horse power, and perhaps
more. In some cases one DYNAMO
might be used for several chimneys
situated near the electric plant. If the
speed Of the dynamo were accidentally
increased the wires would probably be
fused. For a chimney 120 feet high
ball-coiled wires twenty yards long
would be required.
