A BRILLIANT SPECTACLE.
An Ignorance That Was Not Alto

From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Some weeks ago story was circulated
in Harrisburg that there would be Visible
in the western sky soon after sunset a.
brilliant light, which was nothing Jess
wonderful, the rumor told, than a huge
electric spark which some scientists were
sending up nightly over Pittsburg
The story spread rapidly, and when
evening came the streets were filed with
creduiOus people. who gazcd with amaze
ment at the brilliant orb, which, true to
report, shone out bright and clear The
newspapers Of Harrisburg commented on
the occurrence the following day and told
the people that the story Of the electric
light was fake and that the ball Of fire
was simply the planet Venus, which had
been shining there at corresponding sea-
sons for ages and would doubtless contin-
ne to illuminate that part Of the heavens
until the world should be no more.
The Harrisburg people perceived that
they had been duped and we're ashamed
at their display Of Ignorance. But a week
later the same story was spread In the
town OF West Chester, and the usually
intelligent people OF that borough went
through the same performance OF admir-.
ing the wonderful electric light The
newspapers again assumed the role Of In
structors IN astronomy. and Venus was

VICTORY ron TIE LITTLE ONE.
A Scientific Bantam whips a Bia
Plymouth Rock Rooster.
From the Portland Telegram

From the Portland Telegram
A cock fight, ludicrous because OF the
disparity OF size in the two rooster COM
batants. attracted a crowd this afternoon
to the corner of Third and Vine streets.
One OF the birds was a tiny bantam,
weighing at the outside not more than Ia
pounds, while It's antagonist, huge Ply
mouth Rock, was credited by the man
who owned both with weighing sixteen
pounds Yet, despite this advantage in
weight and consequent reach" the big
rooster was made 10 squawk.
The fight started, 1t appears, through
the Plymouth rock intruding his presence
among the bantams flock Of hens. they.
as fancy fowls, being released from their
coop during certain hours of the day and
allowed the freedom of the street. Mr..
Bantam resented this Intrusion, and with
a crow of defiance, valantly flew at the
big ROSTERS head. The Plymouth SEEM

went on, to the edifcation OF a crowd,
every minute growing thicker. Then the
superior science Of the bantam began TO
tell on his weightler opponent. With the
little fellow II was hit and get away, but

This effort Of throwing sixteen pounds OF
flesh and feathers skyward and then light

on the big rooster, and he squatted for
moment 10 catch his wind. Evidently this
was what the bantam had been waiting
for, for giving a decisive crow, he few
at the winded Plymouth, whacking the
big bird right and left about the head,
until with a squawk the slxteeu-pounder
picked himself Up from the sidewalk and
sought security behind an adjacent coop.
That the crowds sympathies were entirely

A TREATMENT THAT is POWERFUL
YET PLEASANT AND WONDERFUL.

The treatment controlled and used by
Ahbo in curing diseases of the nose, throat
vocal cords aud bronchial tubes, is not
now an experiment but Its efficacy has
been proven in thousand upon thousands
of cases in the past ten years.
To those, who do not possess the secret,
its influence over disease is a mystery.
while its soothing and pleasing method
is marvellous.
The victim OF catarrh OF the head, whose
life Is made miserable and his mental
condition impaired by the dull pains
across the head, Is relieved almost imme-
diately. The hawking and splitting. the
sneezlng and snufilng. the disagreeabe
odor OF the breath that makes the victim
of catarrh feel that he Is a nuisance to
those around him, Is rapidly cured by
Abbos Catarrh Treatment
When the disease attacks the vocal
chords and the voice loses its natural
tones, and when as in many instances to
speak at all causes great pain. Abbo's
treatment Is wonderful In its effect.
In the course that catarrh runs the
bronchial tubes are invaded and added the
other annoying effects the victim is made
pass restless and seepless nights. Then
comes a narrowing and painful cough
Hemorrhages follow, the appetite is lost

become a land Of white labor and
fair wages. 1t shows that the move
for annexation is made solely for
the purpose Of opening the Ameri-
can market absolutely free to pro-
ducts of cody labor in the islands
The meeting was notable not only
by reason Of the resolutions adopted
and the addresses made, but the
character OF the men who took part
in it. 1t was held under the direc-
tion of the Los Angeles County
Council of Labor representing 5000
organized workingmep, and was
attended by an audience limited
only by the capacity of the great
hall ia which it was held. The
president of the evening, HI. E.
Martens, is one of the most inf.
uential labor leaders in the State,
the speakers we're Senator White,
Ex-Governor Sheldon and Cyren
e. Fish, State organizer OF the
Typographical Union, while the
resolutions were moved by F. B.
Colver, editor of the Labor World.
1t is not to be doubted that other
labor organizations will follow the
example set by the vigorous organi-
cation in Los Angeles. The work.
ingmen Of the country are beginning
to understand the menace to their
welfare embodied in this scheme to
open the United States to the cheap
labor now employed in the islands
and their protests will be heard in
Congress as soon as the coming
session begins. Organized labor is
opposed to the whole annexation
scheme. 1t neither desires to rob
the Hawaiians of their government,
nor is willing to permit the coolies
to rob the American of his wages

A Menace to America n Labor.

Organized workingmen in Los
Angeles at mass meeting hcld ia
that city, adopted resolutions de-
claring "that the workingmen Of
Los Angeles and Southern California
enter a most earnest and energetic
protest against the annexation of
the Hawaiian Islands to the United
States on the broad ground that it
would in no way rebound to the
honor, the credit or the lettering of
the condition of our country
Furthermore they resolved shat we
urge upon the workingmen of the
United States everywhere the ina
portance OF arising in peaceful
assemblage and protesting against
the annexation of territory 1000 miles
from our fair land with its 100000
Objectionable population"
These resolutions express the
intelligent judgment of organized
labor in California, where the labor
problems involved in the issue OF
Hawaiian annexation are best under
stood. The annexation OF islands
where work is carried on mainly by
coolies would be a menace to the
white labor of the Pacific Coast.
1t would open way for the coolies
to flock to California, and, even
il excluded by stringent restriction
laws rigidly enforced, they would
still in the islands compete with the
workingmen of California employed
in the sugar and fruit industry.
Senator White, who made the
principal address at the meeting.
quoted from an official report of
ex-Minister Stevens, who, while
representing this country at Haweii,
was the prime mover in the annexa
ton scheme, the statement that it
would be impossible to proftably
conduct the sugar plantations on
the islands without cheap cody
labor. This statement refutes the
often made assertion of the annex
ationists that if Hawaii is admitted
to the Union It will Immediately
