POST DISPATCH BITTER.
It Rakes Millionaire Mill Owners For
Their Ante Election Promises

st. Louis, Feb. 6.-The Post-Dispatch
in somewhat sensational article says:
That beautiful wave of prosperity
which the Niedringhauses were so fond
or picturing to their employees prior to
the election, in case Mckinley should be
elected, has failed to materialize in the
great mills of these millionaires, which
once gave a livelihood to so many North
st. Louis families.
The wave has been one of depression
instead of prosperity, and hundreds of
families who have been barely able to
keep the wolf from the door in the past
have now in prospect an indefinite shut
down or such cut in wages that
starvation will be but a little longer
postponed.
The employees in the sheet mill at
Second and Destrehan streets were in
formed Tuesday by their superintend-
ent that unless they accepted a reduc-
ton of 20 per cent the mill would run
no more this winter The men are in
despair. They do not know which way
to turn, for there is no hope for them,
whether they loaf or work.
During the campaign the Niedrtng-
hauseS were very active in their en-
deavors to get their men to support the
Republican ticket. Meetings were held
every week at the works and the men
marched themselves footSore at night,
beating drums and blowing horns in
anticipa ton, forced or natural. that
good times were coming.
Over and over again it was proclaim
ed that the sheet mill, which had been
closed with the exception of a few days
since last July, would be reopened just
as soon as Mckinley was elected. Work
would be steady and wages raised to a
scale sanctioned by the Amalgamated
association.
The election came and Mckinley won.
coincidence" was restored, but the mill
did not open. The men hung on,g grow
ing hungrier as the days passed, and
finally-after Christmas, it was orders
were given to go to work
They kept at it until Saturday, when
once more the mill shut down. Then
on Tuesday Superintendent Suffer sent
for all the employees and gave them the
bosses ultimatum. If they would work
for a 20 per cent reduction, all well and
good. If not, there was no work for
them.
There being no election affecting the
NiedringhauSeS there was no use even
to make any promises. If the men
didn't like it they could lump it, and
that was all there was to ii.
The poor devils are many of them
starving and they are commencing now
to realize the absolute emptiness of pre-
election promises.
The sheet mill is the last of the Mel
dringhaus departments to be cut to
such an extent. In the tin mill the
wages had already been cut As per cent
below what they were three years ago
A Is per cent cut was agreed on by the
Amalgamated association, and then
came two years ago the 80 per cent re-

iShed in the conflict. The MuSSulmanS

Dor. The flames appeared to be spread

BAND OF MOUNTAIN SHEEP.
Driven Down to the LowIands for
Feed

Laramie, wyo., Feb. 6.-The driver of
the Pinkhampton, Col, stage, who ar
rived here last night, reports seeing a
band of mountain sheep on the plains
near Jelm mountain, rs miles west of
this city.
This is the first time animals of this
species have been seen on low ground
in years They were evidently driven
down by the recent heavy snow, fol-
lowed by the cold snap, which deprived
them entirely of feed in their mountain
fasnesses. Deer are also coming down
to the plains, probably from the same
cause.

Some day, when the great coin vaults are
cleaned up, the missing dollars will be
found in corners. But the treasurer can
better afford to make up the hundred
collars or SO which is missing than to
have the vaults overhauled to trace a
loose dollar which has fallen between
the bags of money. Mr. Morgan's prede-
cessor had to make up a small discrep.

preceded him. If the responsibility for

clerk responsible is required to furnish

The state railroad commission is afCer

The suit is brought by Attorney Gen

MONEY FROM FERTILIZER FEES.
What the State Will Realize from this
Source.

The agricultural department of Geor-
gia will receive about $40 100 in fertili-
ger fees this year, Last year the
receipts were something over 1913, 900.
At ten cents ton this years sales,
amounting to about 100000 tons, will
bring into the department about $4,000
Out of this the inspectors fees, the
bill for four million tags and the salaries
of Commissioner Nesbitt and his clerk,
Mr.. Ulla Hardeman, State Chemist
Payne and two assistants are to be paid.
Last year, after paying all these items,
So, 900 was put into the school fund from
fertilizer fees. This year there will be
more than that. Just how much it is
impossible to say, as more fertilizer in
spectors had to be employed and that
item of expense has increased. 1t will
probably not be far less than SIS, 900.

A PALACE OF RELIGION.
COVERING ALL RELIC.
IOUS CREEDS AND PROGRESS.
Most StupendOus Project in the His
tory Of the World on Foot for
Museum of Religions.

The congress of religions which was
held during the Chicago exposition is to
be far surpassed during the Paris expo
sitiOn in 1900. 1t is proposed, in ahcrt.
that there shall be worlds exposition
covering all religious creeds and their
progress and status, to be held at the
time that the worlds industrial and COM
mercial progress is being illustrated in
the Paris exposition. 1t was at first the
plan to have the religious exposition I'M
der the auspices and as a part of the
great show. But the project outgrew the
space to be had, and the spiritual will
be separated from the temporal in the
fair.
The plan now is to build great palace
of religions, in which will be assembled
all Of the exhibits, and which will als3
contain auditoriums for the various as
semblages and congresses which are to
be held. The building is to be one of
the largest and most imposing ever con-
structed. Steel, iron and glass are to en-
ter chiefly into its construction. 1t will.
ln'style of architecture, be distinctively
ecclesiastical, notwithstanding its great
size. An enormous dome, more than
twice as large as any now in existence,
will be the prominent feature of the
building. From the dome will radiate
naves, galleries, etc, for the exhibits.
The dome itself will be an enormous
auditorium.
In the building are to be collected ex-
hlbits bearing upon the history of all re-
igions-manuscripts, carving on wood
land stone, paintings, sculpture, coins,
Jewelry, arms, tapestries and other fab
RIGS. The ceilings are to be embellished
with frescoes representing scenes in the
history of christianity. Stained glass
will be employed to produce the gorgeous
effects described in certain Bible scenes.
Examples of ancient ceramic art, from
old monastries, will be on exhibition.
The sarcophagf of the catacombs of
Rome will be faithfully produced. Ivor-
les and carvings of the Romans during
the time of Christ will be shown. In
deed, the whole religious world, it is ex-
pected, will aid in making the exposi-
ton the most stupenuous museum of re-
ligions in the history of the world. 1t
is said the scheme has the sanction and
support of the pope and of leading
churchmen of the Protestant denomina-
tions. The idea is prodgiOus one. Its
possibilities are almost unbounded.
Should the scheme be carried out ac-
cording TO present plans the exposition
would be one of the wonders of the
world.
