ihS to-OpCrntiNc Commonwealth
Labor Proposes TO Establish.
Another movement similar to that which
General CoNey organized several years ago
and which is designed TO take an army OF
unemployed men on a long trip across the
| country, is being quietly organized and IL Is

ton II Will al once 90 to work as a o-opcra-
tive commonwealth, and the leaders will at
tempt to prove that the working people can
provide for themselves out OF the abundance
OF the earth without dividing the products Of
their labor.
1t is said that with the adjournment of tho
convention of the American Railway union
which Will meet In this city early In June
tho time will have arrived for the order to
march" and, it is further said that Prcsi-
dent Eugene V. Debs and other men promi-
nent In Tho railroad organization are among
the prime movers in the scheme.
President Debs is said to have been in the
city last week and TO have held conferences
with number of well known men in regard

1t Is said that figures have been gathered
which show that there are now 100 900 men
ana women out of employment in Chicago
1t is not expected that anywhere near this
number will make the trip to Utah on the
first call. but II is believed that the army
will move with several thousand men in line
and that it will pick up many more on the
way to the western country.
1t is proposed to organize the co operative
commonwealth along the same lines as these
laid down by the socialists: the means of
production and distribution are to be the
common property of the community and
may he used by any member thereof II is
said that besides the skilled mechanics in
this ana other cities who are out of em-
poyment there are hundreds of railroad men
who have never been able to secure em-
poyment since the big strike of the Amer
lean Railway union, and that these would
be only too glad of any opportunity to again
get to work at almost anything.
Whether the proposition will bo submitted
to the convention of the railroad organi2a-
tion has not as yet been decided upon, but it
is said that ii is more than likely 1t will be-
and his followers to gather into the state OF
Utah such a number of socialists that they
will be able to outvote the believers in the
old regime. When they have secured control
OF the legislature the cooperative common
wealth will be legally established.

LAWMAKERS TO PLAY CHESS
House of Representatives and British
House of Commons,
MATCH GAME TO Be PLAYED BY CABLE
Hostilitics TO begin on the Afternoon
of May 3I.-Two Wires for Use
Between Washington and
New York.

WASHINGTON May 23.-The arrange ems
for the match games Of chess between five
selected individual players OF the house OF
representatives and like number from the
British House of Commons are practically
completed. The games will be begun at
O'Clock p. M, Washington time, and Z
O'Clock p M, London time May 81, and
continue four hours. fifteen moves to the
hour. II not completed in the agreed time
the games will be finished on June /. A
single consultation game in which all the
members Of both teams may consult as to
the moves, will be played on date to be
fixed by the Bnglishmen.
Two wires between Washington and New
York will be given UP 60 the games, and 1t
is expected that not more than three min
utes will be consumed in transmitting the
several moves between London and Washing
ton. The American players will draw lots
for their British competitors and places at
the tables.
The members Of the house have been
coached by w. Pillsbury of Brooklyn, the
winner of the international chess tournament
at Hastings. England who has played against
all comers for the past week at the Metro
politan club in this city, and who has won
every game, except draw with the Austrian
minister. There will be five players on each
the house OF representatives have not been
officially announced 1t is learned that four
of them have been selected, Messrs. Pearson
Of North Carolina, De Graffenreid Of Texas
Bodine of Missouri and Handy OF Delaware
So far as this side has been advised Messrs
Plunkett, Healon and Strauss will be three
of the five in the English team.
The house players will move their men in
the house committee on foreign affairs room,
AMI the English players in one of the lobbies
OF Parliament house. The connections Will be
direct, so as to minimize the time to be
consumed in the transmission of the moves
The messages will be sent over the wires by
the Western Union Telegraph and the Anglo
American Cable company, both OF which
companies have donated their wires fu1 the
occasion. Superintendent Maren of the
Western Union in this city has had two wires
run into the committee room, which wires
will directly connect with the American
cable. One of these wires will be used to
send and the other for receiving purposes.
Similar arrangements have been made with
wires leading directly from the other ter
minus of the cable on the Irish coast to the
lobby of the Commons.
The play will last five hours each day,
from to midnight London time, and from
2 to Z, our time. Fifteen moves an hour will
be allowed. Superintendent Maren says a
minute will be required for the transmission
of the messages, so this will reduce the
actual playing time to an average of a move
every three minutes.
Sir Julian Pauncefote. at the request of the
British players. will act as referee here, and
it is probable that Hon. John Hay, the United
States ambassador at London will perform a
like service on the other side.

Jolt on the Jaw May Cost Edward
Vaughn His Life.

NEW YORK, May 23.-In the glove contest
last night, in which Casper Leon of this
city defeated Edward Vaughn of Trenton,
N j., Vaughn was struck on the jaw and
knocked down. His head struck the floor
and he became unconscious and was taken
TO the Manhattan hospital, where he has not
recovered consciousness. He sustained n
concussion of the brain, possibly fracture
of the skull.
Leon, the referee. Jimmy Carroll J: e
Kennedy, manager of the National Athletic
club at which the contest was held, the
time keeper and seconds, We're arrested
Leon was released on $1,000 bail for eXami-
nation The others also gave bail.
When Vaughn was knocked unconscious
there was great excitement and DR.. Finey
summoned The physician found that
Naughn's heart was scarcely beating. The
doctor worked over the unconscious man
about two hours and then Vaughn opened
his eyes He did not, however, regain com
plete consciousness
He is suffering said the physician,
simply from the shock. There is no cere-
hral hemorrhage The serious effect of
the blow was due to the fact that Vaughn
was nearly exhausted when struck. That
is a risk every fighter takes. He will re-
cover"
At the Manhattan hospital, to which place
the injured man was removed, the ply
sicians were not so confident, but thought
the chances were in his favor.

VIII Investigate n Suspension.

special meeting Of the Board of Educa-
tion will be held this evening for the pur-
pose of investigating a case of expulsion
Mrs. Olson, who lives in the third ward, has
complained to the members of the board that
her daughter has been deprived of the privil-
ege of attending the public schools. Tn,
woman explains that her daughter is physic-
ally incapable of taking part in the gymnas-
tic exercises insisted upon by some of the
teachers The child, she says, suffers from
st. Vitus dance, and is therefore unable to
comply with the rules in reference to phys
ical culture. On this account the girl has
been expelled and has not been permitted
to attend school since last February. At the
time the girl was expelled Mrs, Olson pro-
duced a certificate from physician stating
that the girl was not able to go through the
exercise Superintendent Munro was will
ing to reinstate the pupil provided Mrs.
Olson signed an agreement to obey all the
rules of the school. AS the physical cul-
ture maneuyerA are part Of the school rules
Mrs. Olson refused to sign the paper and
has brought the matter TO the attention of

ABOUT SHOES.
Taking Care of Them and the Proper
Time to buy

Buyers should never go in the early
morning to buy boots and shoes. If II is
| remembered that activity and standing en-
! large the feet. and at the latter part Of the
| day they are at their maximum size. there
would not be so many complaints of shoes
being tight. which at the time of fitting
seemed perfectly comfortable Shoes, like
gloves, wear longer and better If kept for
some time before using; and it is wise to
keep several pairs for few weeks before
wearing them, and several pairs to alternate
with. Never wear shoe too small or that
does not fit when you first put it on; for
misery more complete than a shoe that
pinches does not exist. A shoe should be
washed every now and then with a wet rag
and oiled overnight. In this fresh ap-
plicatlon of backing restores the brilliancy
of the leather. A wet shoe must never be
placed too the fire, for it will become
hard and stiff. The way to save shoe that
is wet from early grave is to wipe 1t
off and then apply an oil or cream by means
II piece Of soft flannel CLOTH Wear
old shoes in bad weather. Rubbers always
spoil new shoe. Patent feathers should
never be handled until warmed, and they
can be made smooth and bright by cream
rubbed in by cloth. or by the palm Of the
hand, which is better. If shoes are washed
once a month with warm water and rubbed
with oil, they WIN be soft and imperviOus
to water. These who suffer from aching
their shoes with moderately strong solution
Of ammonia. The shoes must be perfectly
dry before they are put on The way to
clean kid boots which will not bear black
ing, is to roll strip of flannel four inches
wide and good yard long into a wad and
sew 1t tightly. Dip 1t into a saucer filed
with few drops of olive oil and good black
ink. Dab the shoe all over, and taking a
fresh flannel rub the shoe until 1t Is dry.
By this means the painful approach of pur-
pie and the dreaded white cracks will be
delayed. A fine polish. and one that viii
make the leather last longer than the ordi-
nary blacking dosS, will be obtained If the
following mixture Is used: Two ounces OF
ivory black three ounces of molasses and
one pint of vinegar. Mix them together,
and having also stirred five drachma of
sperm oil and six drachms of oil of vitrloI,
work all the ingredients together Tan
shoes should be wHshed once a week with
saddle soap before applying polish which
can be made by mixing one ounce OF mu-
riatic acid half ounce of alum, half ounce OF
gum arabic and half ounce Of spirit OF law
ender into one half pint of sour milk Apply
with a flannel and polish with piece OF
fresh flannel.
