Want Sunday Work Stopped
In Pittsburg Mills.
A BIG MAssMEETISe WAS HELD.
President sharer of the Amalgamatsd
Association One Of tue Speakers and
Vice President Collier Presided-Rev.
DR.. Webb spoke Resolutions Adopted.

PITTsBURo, Feb. 20.--The meeting
held in the Bijou theater under The aus
pices of the Amalgamated Association
of Iron and Steel Workers and the Fed.
GRAFTON of Churches of Pittsburg, Alle-
gheny City and vicinity was the most
radical protest ever mado in this city
against Sunday labor in the mile.
About 1900 workingmen were present
and a number of ladies participated in
the meeting. A few mIllowners occu-
pied prominent positions, but the at.
tendance from this class was not large.
For some time an effort has been in
progress to insure to the millworkers Of
this vicinity one days rest in seven.
Theodore j. Shaffer, president of the
Amalgamated association, said that
while the larger establishments which
demand labor on Sunday had not
changed their custom in this respect,
many of the smaller establishments had
been induced to refrain from inaugural.
ing such methods of work.
w. 5. Collier, vice president Of the
first district Of the Amalgamated asso.
cation, presided. An opening prayer
was offered by Rev. O. Fitzwilliam,
pastor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist
church. Many of the leading MINIS.
ters OF the two cities occupied seats on
the platform.
Rev. w. q. Webb, ID. D., of Phila.
delphia, at present the field secretary OF
the Federation of Churches, discussed
"The Workingman's Sunday"
President Shater also spoke and
strong resolutions were adopted.

The whitewsshinG report OF the war
investigating commission carries little
weight with the public.
The truth is the commission never
had any legal status 1t was an outside
arrangement, to relieve Alger and his
pets, and without authority, not having
power to summon witnesses. Witnesses
whose testimony did not suit we're af-
fronted and insulted.
This commission was not even free to
report such truthful facts as it dis
covered, tor being unofficial the men,
bers might have been liable. This
shows what costly farce 1t was, all to
whitswash Alger & Co.

PRESIDENT LEFT BOSTON.
Suggested to g. A. n. Men That Spanish
Veterans should Bo Admitted
to the Order.

BOSToN, Feb. lS.-President McKin.
ley and party left Boston late yesterday
afternoon. In his speech at the q. A,
K. encampment he referred to the stir.
ring scenes of the last year, which, he
said, he was glad they had lived to see
ana closed by suggesting that the Span.
sh war veterans should he admitted to
membership in the G.. a. Il.
The suggestion was received with
cries of good" and applause.
Later the party proceeded TO the state
capitol to visit the legislature.
AT one point i'll his speech there the
president said:
We may regard the situation before us as
burden or as an opportunity, but whether the
one or the other IL is here, and conscience and
civilization require to meet 1t bravely. Despr
tion of duty is not an American quality. 1t was
not the customs Of the father and Will not b.
the practice of their sons
The party later proceeded to the Al.
gonquln clubhouse, where the Com
mercial club was assembled.
President Mckinley spoke on i'm.
proved business conditions, saying at
one point, in part.
We are fast going from a debtor to a credi.
have quit discussing the tariff and have
turned our attention to getting trade wher.
ever 1t can be found II will be "A long time
before any change can be had or any change
desired in our present fiscal policy except to
strengthen it. The differences on this uues.
tion which existed have disappeared. We
have turned from academic theories to trade
conditions and are selling our share Of the
worlds markets.
Not only is our business good, but our money
Is good. There is no longer fear Of debased
currency 1t has been happily dispeled The
highest and best standard recognized by the
leading commercial nations has been main.
tained, and il has been done without resort
to loans. The cause of sound money has ad.
vanced in the last two years. Honest finance
has made positive gains. do not think we
quite appreciate yet the full measure Of its
success.
Both branches Of congress on March next
will have an unquestoned majority opposed
to any decentralization Of our currency and
committed to uphold the worlds standard
Certainly for two years every branch of the
national government will be united for good
currency and the inviolability Of our national
obligations and credit. The investments and
other enterprises OF the people can therefore
not be unsettled by sudden changes.

JONES STICKS TO SILVER.

Declared the Chicago Platform Would
BE. Again Adopted by Democrats.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Jas.
K. Jones, chairman Of the Democratic
national committee, is not in accord
with Mr.. Croker of New York and Mr..
Wall of Wisconsin regarding the para
mount issue in the next presidential
campaign. He said in part:
"To say that the next Democratic ma.
tional convention will reaffirm the posi-
tion taken by the convention in 1896 is
to assert what every candid man. even
slightly familiar with existing facts,
knows to be true. 1t is as certain as
anything human can be that the ques-
ton of bimetallism will be the leading
issue in the campaign next year. And
1t is reasonable to expect. that the ma
jority of the people will next time de-
clare for the party which means what it
says and will redeem it's pledges, and
that they will not again be tricked into
casting their votes in favor of the
enemies of the principles in which they
believe"
He said that the Republicans declara-
ton for international bimetallism
caused some bimetallists to vote the
Republican ticket. The business boom
he declared was due to the war.

Good Qualities That Put the Stamp of Ex-
ceIenoe Upon This Article.
There are many reasons why you
should take Morrow's Kid-ne- oids in
preference to any other kidney prepars-
ton. In the first place, Kid-ne-oids are
a scientific preparation and are manu-
factured in Springfield, Ohio. Second
They are In tablet forms and not pills,
which Is the most scientific form of
putting up medicine; they do not get
hard and pass through the body whole,
but dissolve and take effect Third
There is never any bad sfter-effe ects from
their use, like there Is from ninety per
cent OF other preparations. Fourth
Most all other kidney preparations are
filled up with something to act on the
bowels. Morrow's Kid-ns-oids do not
act on the bowels. because some people
do not need q csthartic, they simply
need something to act on the kidneys,
and when you take, other kidney prepa-
rRtions the bowls are moved perhaps
severely when they should not be dis
turbed. There are many other reasons
why Kid-ne-oids should be used, and
these reasons you will fnd out by using
them.
We always like to give references as
to the merits Of Morrow's Kid-ne oids,
and this time refer you to Mr.. II. 81.
Double, salesman at r. Herbruck's dry
goods establishment, and who resides
at No. 8l7 East Fourth street. He says:
"t have always avoided the use of medi-
cine of any kind or description, until
was fully satisfied that my system re-
quired something to assist nature In
righting disordered condition OF some
organ or organs thereof. Some time
ago when L was attacked with pain
across the small of my back In the
region of the Kidneys, we'll knew that
it was caused from disordered cond'-
ton Of the kidneys, and the proper
thing 70 do was to use remedy that
would act directly upon these organs
and assist nature in repairing them
Morrow's Kd-ne-oids being highly
recommended tor the purpose, pur-
chased package at Fishers drug store,
and used them according to directions,
and In short time | was relieved com
pletely of kidney backache and | have
not had the slightest symptom since.
shall surely recommend Morrow's Kid.
ne oids as being ali that is claimed for
them"
II you have any form OF kidney
trouble or nervous ailment arising from
this disease, check II at once with Nor
rows Kid.ne. oids. Do not walt until 1t
Is too late and then blame yourself for
not listening to reason and facts
Kid.ne-oids are Yellow rsblets (not
pills. and cure all kidney ailments, ner-
vousness, backache, etc. They are put
up In wooden boxes which contain
enough for about two weeks treatment,
and sell for 90 cents at Fishers drug
store.

May Cause Friction In the House.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 20.-The situation
In the house has been greatly oompli-
Gated by the action Of the senate in
placing the Nicaragua canal bill upon
the river and harbor bill as rider.
This will doubtless precipitate bitter
fight in the house and may result in
the loss of the bill. But the failure of
the river and harbor bill will not make
an extra session incumbent. But the
contest over it will develop bad blood,
produce friction which may make it all
the more difficult with the other meas
ures which must OF necessity pass to
avoid an extraordinary session.

Secretary Long Told Why Sale of Bee
Was stopped on Ships.

Secretary Long Told Why Sale of Beer
Was stopped on Ships.
Boston, Feb 20.-In regard to the
recent order Of the navy department
prohibiting the sale of beer ON ships of
the navy, Secretary Long in an inter-
view said the order was issded princi-
pally for the protection OF apprentice
boys in the service. Said he in part:
at 10 not true that any society out
side the service caused the issuing
of the order. 1t was done at the solicit
tation of naval officers themselves, who
were actuated by sense of duty to the
service. The sale Of beer on shipboard
was regarded by many of them as an
evil and they sought to abate It,"
1t also. he declared, removed a temp
tation from the men.

QUERY DRAWER.

Mr.. Hanna asked NJ. Bitter to give
his opinion as to the effect of the late
cold snap on fruit.
Mr.. Bitter thought it to soon to de-
terInine positively. Ordinarily, when
the mercury goes down to twenty below
zero, peaches and sweet cherries are all
destroyed, yet he has known peaches to
escape even lower temperature. The
fact that the continued cold since early
winter has kept the buds we'll back there
is bare possibility that some peaches
may survive. Sweet cherries, Mr.. Bitter
seemed to think, would share the same
fate of peaches, whatever that may be.
Sour cherries are more hardy. apples
are still safe.
Berry vines may be killed back to some
extent, but nothing, as yet, can be said
as to the extent of damage done them.
Mr.. Hanna expressed the view that
Mr.. Bitter had given fair statement OF
the condition of orchards and vineyards.
Mr.. Palmer would not offer word OF
encouragement to lovers of peaches, for
next year, although trees we're in good
condition last fall
Attention was called to a statement
from the Experiment Station at Wooster,
to the effect that peach trees we're in
the worst possible condition last fall.
Mr.. Palmer insists that, although the
curled leaf made the trees look bad last
summer, yet they rallied in the fall and
went into winter quarters in good shape
Mr.. ]. N. Shaub thought the report
from the Experiment Station was correct
The peach orchards were overworked
last year and went into the winter tired
Yet he believed that it is possible, from
observations in the past, that we may
yet have some peaches.
