FRENCH VOTERS.

Tickets Mean Disaster.

Alderman Huot Tells Them That Split
Tickets Mean Disaster.
The French voters of ward three held
a rally in Union Canadienne hall, Wall
street, last evening. The speakers ad-
vised those present to vote the straight
republican ticket Alderman Napoleon
P. Huot was the principal speaker. He
showed his hearers how necessary it
was that the two-thirds vote in the up
per branch of the city government re-
main republican, as many of the most
important measures require this num-
Der to ratify. He said that any split
ting of the ticket was dangerous and
might result in another democratic al
derman. He said that such a step was
to be regretted, and cautioned those
present to vote for the republican head
of the ticket and for six republican al
dermen. Alderman Huot was followed
by T. X. Lucier, A. II. Fontaine, NJ Gil
rard, A. Loiseau and Pierre HILBERT.
There were about 200 present.

THE SOCIALISTS.
They Hold Rally and Pro-
phesy Regeneration.

The socialists held their final rally of
the campaign in Svea Gille Hall, Lass
evening with an audience Of about 100
English and Swedish members. The
prediction was made that Charles Is.
Hardy, the socialist nominee for mayor,
will poll 1900 votes. Franz A. Fors-
strom presided. and the speakers We're
Charles K. Hardy and Olof Bokelund,
the nominee for alderman.
Mr.. Forsstrom said that at last it
could not be denied that the socialist
labor party had attained such a
growth and influence that it could no
longer be snubbed. The election of the
mayor of Haverhill was accomplished
through the agitation of the socialist
labor party.
Charles K. Hardy the nominee for
mayor, was received with applause.
Mr. Hardy gave a very dispassiOnate
and candid Interpretation of the prin-
ciples and aims of his party as the
guardian Of the workingmens interests.
the present system irrevocably stolen
from the great body Of the people the
lands of the earth, which were com
mon Inheritance. The Workingmen of
the present time is worse than his dark
colored brother WAS in the slave days
of old, as they were called to distin-
guish them from the industrial slave
days of the present time.
The socialists do not propose to take
away private rights without compen-
sation. What they believe in is co-ope-
rative ownership of the lands, which
were given in common to all when the
earth was created and man put upon
! 1t. What God made free, man, in his
supposed wisdom, has seen fit to re-
strict. The socialist scheme is merely
that of cooperation, of union in which
there is strength. We do not maintain
| that all men are to be equal. But
what we do want is to give all an
equal opportunity.
The last speaker was Olof Bokelund
who spoke entirely in Swedish, and
was frequently applauded.

THE STORY OF THE SWORD.
Leads in the Manufacture of
Them.

The date Of the first production of
swords at Sheffield is lost in antiquity,
and very little is known of the early
history of sword manufacture in Eng
land There is, however, a picture in
existence, copied from d manuscript
psalter OF the time of King Stephen,
which shows two men engaged in
grinding a sword blade
About the year 1889 serious in
ternational considerations reused
England to the necessity of
competing with the world in the
manufacture Of swords. A movement
was inaugurated in Cumberland for the
purpose of making hollow-g ground sword
blades Mills were erected by a COM
pany of cutters, and a considerable
number Of German artificers were en-
ployed. but the work was very inferior
and the project failed.
In 1888 the sword sellers of London
petitioned the lords of the treasury for
permission to import German swords
free of duty, This extraordinary APP
plication called forth an indignant pa
triotic protest. A few years later the
supremacy of the Britsh-made sword
was finally eSldDilSueu WITHOUT Il
doubt. Ten thousand cavalry swords
were required by the East India Com
pany, and the order was divided be-
tween English and German makers. OF
this order, Mr. Gill of Birmingham Sc
cured a large share. Al special ma
chine was suggested by Matthew Boil
ton for testing the swords. In this
machine each blade was forced into a
curve reducing from So inches to %
inches.
The result was that 1850 of those
made by Mr.. Gill bore the test, and only
four were rejected. OF the German
swords, 400 We're accepted and IS re-
iected. Immediately the fame of Mr..
Gill spread over Europe, and in a
short time officers Of the German army
were his principal customers. Since
then English firms have practically led
the sword-mahing industry, and Shelf
field steel has become world-famous.

POWERS HOME.
Will Not Endanger Amateur Standing by
Playing Basket Ball.

J. Fred Powers. the well known athlete.
returned 10 his home in this city from
Notre Dame University, where he is at
tending college, yesterday afternoon. He
will spend the holidays in this city, re-
turning to the university on January g.
Powers is one of the finest basket ball
players that has played in this vicinity.
and his homecoming was eagerly awaited
by the managers of basket ball teams In
this section. who saw chance to
strengthen their teams by adding Fred to
their players. 1t will be disappointing for
them to learn that Powers will not play
basket ball under any circumstances.
In talking TO a Spy man last night,
Powers said that under no circumstances
would he endanger his amateur standing
by playing on the teams in this vicinity,
unless it was a Y. NJ c. A. team. 1t is
well known fact that Powers chances
of winning the American all-round ath-
letic championship for next year are very
good, and as the amateur standing of the
basket ball players is not very strong, it
seems that Powers is using good judy
nent in avoiding games
