GoMPERs SPOKE BLUNTLY.

Boston, Feb. Tin an interview after
q secret conference Of the leaders of the
labor organizations Sunday afternoon
Samuel Gompers OF the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor said that unless the
hostile factions Of the textile unions
came to some agreement very quickly.
fhe strike at New Bedford would be of
little avail. Ii was for the purpose OF
harmonizing these different unions and
uniting them in the interests OF the
strikers that Mr. Gompers is now max
ing an extended tour OF the strike CEN
ters OF New England. At the conference
Mr.. Gompers spoke in a blunt but honest
fashion and suggested above all things
that the different unions should get to-
gether and lay aside all differences. He
said that he was sorry that the success
of the strike had been threatened by
such antagonism among the different
branches, but he believed that there was
yet time to win the fight. II only these
differences were settled. At his sug-
gestion committee was appointed to
bring the different branches together
He further said that he did not think
that the best work was being put for
ward TO help the strikers in New Bed
ford, and that until this was done the re-
volt against lower wages would scarce.

MCCOY AND MAHER.

New York, Feb. Dan Stuart has
been quoted as saying that in view of the
fact that Corbett and Fitzslmmons will
not fight, Mccoy is entitled to the cham
pionship by default. This reported
declaration of Stuart's must be taker
with grain OF salt. Maher was willing
TO accept the recent alleged challenge
or Mccoy, and Peters hackers wired
mere. asking with whom they should
Iost their forfeits; but friends OF Nc
Coy. including his ever devoted mana
ger and press agent. wired back that
IL would be useless to demand a match
with the kid" for the Irishman, SO the
matter was dropped.
Maher, providing Corbett and F'itz
really wish TO quit the ring is a thousand
times more entitled TO the championship
than Mccoy. for he is willing 10 fight al
all times and has beaten more genuine
heaVS 'eishts than anybody else. The
TACT that Mccoy has never fought a
heavyweight of note in his life. and has
always been classed with middleweishts
makes IL imperative for him to fight al
least Maher before he can legitimatel,
say claim To heavyweight honors.

Washington, Feb. Representative

alien over l6 years OF age who has not in
good faith made his declaration TO be-
come a permanent resident of the United

who is largely interested in the Manches-
ter. ~. H.. mills. and who has just re-
turned from Florida. maintains that the
existence OF the New England mills de-
pends upon the reduction OF wages, and
that the operatives in striking are try
ing to kill the goose that lays the golden
egg.
Mr.. Coolidge says: THE mills In the
south are nearly all prosperous. The
greater ones are earning big dividends.
They rarely pay over percent. but re-
serve the excess to add to their Quick
capital. From cheap coal and cheap
cotton they reap some advantage. but
more from low wages. Were IL not for
the latter item, the northern mills could
easily compete with them. The south
ern workmen are as skilful as the north
ern. The output depends largely on the
excellence OF the machinery. and as the
southern mills were built lately. they
are equal TO the best and better than
the average New England mill. South
ern operatives are just as intelligent
and productive as northern

A GAS FATALITY.

Boston, Feb. There was another
gas fatality in this city Sunday. A
man and a woman were the victims,
the former being dead wheh first dis
covered and the latter unconscious, but
will probably recover. The couple hired
the room about four weeks ago. and the
man gave the names of Mr.. and Mrs.
Clark. From evidence which the po-
lice have II seems probable that the
mans real name is James Reilly, but
the Identification, II II Is one, ends there.
There Is considerable question as TO
whether the gas was turned on inten-
tionally There seems TO be some evil
dence Of suicide. but the proof as to
this is not conclusive.

HOW TO DRESS CALVES.
Chicago Markets Unless These
Hints Are Needed.

Calves from three to six weeks old,
and weighing about 100 pounds or say
from 80 to 1870 pounds, are the most de-
sirable weight for shipment. The head
should be cut out, SO as to leave the
hide of the head on the skin. The legs
should be cut off at the knee joint. The
entrails should all be removed, except.
ing the kidneys and liver, which should
not be taken out. Cut the carcass open
from the neck through the entire length
from head to bumgut. If this is done
they are not so apt to sour and spoil
during hot weather. Many fine car.
cass has spoiled in hot weather because
of its not being cut open. Don't wash
the carcass out with water, but wipe it
out with dry cloth. Don't ship until
the animal heat is entirely out of the
body, and never tie the carcass up in 8
bag, as this keeps the air from circulat
ing and makes the meat more liable ia
become tainted. Mark for shipment by
fastening a shipping tag to the hind
leg. Calves under so pounds should no,
be shipped ESQ pounds is the minimum
weight in the Chicago market), and are
liable to be condemned by the health
officers as unfit for food. Merchants,
too, are liable to be fined, if found selling
these slunks, for violation of the law.
Very heavy calves, such as have been
fed on buttermilk, never sell well in our
market-they are neither veal nor beef.

Spray Non-Infected Trees.

1t is mistake to presume that tree
should not be sprayed because it has not
been attacked by its fungus or insect
enemy. Trees should be sprayed on
general principles. The attacks of both
fungus and insects are often unnoticed
at first. If the man does not have spray
ing apparatus the probability is that
he will look upon the first incursions
as of little account, hoping that the
pest will not be any greater than at the
first. After the trees and their fruit
have been damaged he begins to spray,
but often too late to save the crop for
the year, and often not in time to save
the injury that will result to the tree
on account of the retarding of its de.
veloping buds, which would otherwise
bear fruit next year.

EXPECTATION md DRYING.

The Virginia station has reported ex-
periments on various means of utilizing
low-grade apples which, it is estimated,
constitute 40 per cent. of the annual
crop in that state. Considerable quaint
ties of this fruit are at present sun
dried. but it is believed that the use of
evaporating apparatus would be much
more economical. The cost of manufac-
ture in either case is about three cents
per pound of finished product. The
evap0rated fruit as rule sells for about
six cents per pound and the dried for
only 2h cents. The amount Of evap-
GRATED fruit per bushel of apples was
found to be about &C pounds.
