Oriental Judgment on Mixed Babies.

The Greek ecclesiastical authorities
at .Aleppo have been called upon to de-
eide case which strongly recalls Solo
mons famous judgment. BY a strange
coincidence woman and her daughter
both gave birth to female child at the
same time. But the babies got mixed,
and, as one Of them was ugly and the
other pretty and healthy. both mothers
claimed the latter. The elder woman
maintained that, as all her other chill
dren were handsome, the ugly child
could not be hers, while her daughter
claimed that. being young, handsome
and strong, she could not be the moth
er Of weak and ugly babe.
The religious chief Of the town set
tied the affair In summary way. He
adjudged the beautiful child to the
daughter on the ground that. 1t being
her first, the occasion was not to be
made one of humiliation and disap-
pointment, while the elder mother
could afford to forego her claim since
she had already had several handsome

Hezekah, king Of Judah, who reign

pioneer in constructing system of

city, stopping the upper part Of Gihon,
and brought it straight down to the
west side of the city Of David. And
Hezekiah prospered in all his works"

A WEST VIRGINIA CLASH.
Governor Atkinson and Ohio County
Judiciary at Odds.

Governor Atkinson and Ohio County
Judiciary at Odds.
Wheeling, W. Va, May 20.-There Is
an interesting clash between the Ohio
county judiciary and the chief execu-
tive of the state, Governor Atkinson.
Two years ago William Eaton was
tried and sentenced to serve ten years
for burning an over insured stock of
goods here. 1t was known at the time
that he was merely the tool of dan
gerous gang of firebugs who made Chi
cago their headquarters, and the con-
viction of Eaton was received with
satisfaction by insurance people
throughout the central west. Eaton's
attorneys have made several futile at
tempts to secure his release, but the
last attempt, made before Governor
Atkinson, seems to bear some promise,
for the governor wrote to the criminal
court officials here giving notice that
he would pardon Eaton unless the
more culpable persons in the conspir-
acy were brought to the bar of justice.
As a result special grand jury was
called yesterday and Eaton went be-
fore that body and turned informer,
duplicating Frederick Schmidt, alias
Smith, and Cowie, alias Gordon, both
Of Chicago. Evidently the grand jury
did not place any faith in Eatons tes-
timony, for it promptly brought in o
report In which 1t found three true
L. 1-k- e.. ND
found no true bills in the cases Of
Schmidt and Cowie. In addition, the
grand jury addressed strong letter
to the governor, protesting against
his proposed pardon of Eaton, whom 1t
unanimously believed to be guilty The
case Is exciting great interest and the
insurance people are particularly
worked up.

FOR GOVERNOR OF OHIO.

An Intimation That Toledo's Mayor
VIII BE a Labor Candid ate.
Cincinnati, May 20.-The Federation
of Labor organizations of Cincinnati
gave remarkable demonstration last
night in honor of Mayor Samuel M.
Jones, of Toledo. After the street pa
rade over 1000 people listened to May
or Jones at Music Hall for over two
hours.
There were frequent outbursts of ap-
plause. A favorite demonstration was
the giving of three cheers for the
next governor of Ohio" Mayor Jones
said he wouldn't be the candidate Of
any party for that Office, but If neither
party adopted platform satisfactory
to the people he would be their call
didate. This statement was regarded
as very significant, as the name of
Mayor Jones has been mentioned very
prominently as a candidate before the
Republican state convention, which
meets at Columbia on June 3. 1t was
also considered as significant, because
the Ohio Federation Of Labor has is
sued call for mass meeting to be
addressed at Columbus by Mayor Jones
on the night of June 8, and the meet
ing is to be held in the same hall that
will be occupied by the Republican
convention during the day.
After presenting his arguments in
favor of restoring to the people all
the rights that were created by them
in values and otherwise Mayor Jones
concluded by singing his song entitled
Industrial Freedom" to the tune of
Marching Through Georgia" in which
the whole audience Joined. The DEM
onstrations continued in and about the
hal long after the meeting adjourned.

ACCORDING to the Every Evening
the members Of the Democratic par
~ have been thoroughly converted
and are the champions Of honest
politics and good Government.
They will never again set aside the

~ they did in Kent county in 1896;
they will never again institute a
fraudulent Legislature or Consti-

elected, nor contribute to pay a

the election returns to benefit a de-
fcated candidate. Profession and
practice are very different things.
notwithstanding the assumption Of
every virtue, the party leaders new
sertheless managed at the last cleo

istration fee Of at least 1000 voters,
pr rumors cannot have any reliable
foundation, and what is more, they
will soon be schemlng to repeat the

have SO flagrantly disregarded the
will Of the people in the past, will
do so again whenever an opportu-
nifty offers. While claiming SUPER

lots and false counting will again
be resorted to in order to elect can

practiced so as to defy detection and
escape the penalty of thela The

THE BUFFALO STRIKERS
Now Seem Further From Settle-
ment Than Ever.
GRAIN sHovELERs DETERMINED.

They Again Demand the Unequivocal
Abrogation Of the Contract With
Mr.. Conners- Freight Handlers Vote
to Ignore Bishop Quigley's Advice.
Buffalo, Msy 20.-The grain shovel
ers last night adopted resolutions re-
pudiating all agreements made with
the Lake CaTeiers' association and de-
manding the unequivocal abrogation
of the contract with Mr.. Corners.
The striking freight handlers al their
meeting voted to ignore the advice Of
Bishop Quigley, In which he urged
them to return to work under theterms
granted by the Associated Lake lines
at the conference yesterday afternoon.
The action taken at these two meet
ings, 1t is thought, will end for some
time to come the negotiations which
have been In progress for over two
weeks to bring about settlement Of
the dock troubles.
The grain shovelers will refuse to
make any further propositions to either
the lake carriers or to the contractor,
and as the lake carriers some days
ago decided to withdraw from the con-
flict the indications are that the strike
viii be permitted Ito wear itself out.
The final conference between Con-
tractor Corners and the men was held
yesterday afternoon. The men an
nounced before they took part in It
that II 1t did not result in some agree
ment they would break OH negotia-
lions. At this conference the strikers
proposed that there be inserted In the
agreement already reached with tao
Lake Carriers association clause
governing the appointment Of boss
scoopers. This clause provided that
the grain shovelers should submit the
names of ten men for each elevator,
out of which list the cor tractor should
select his boss scoopers. Mr.. Con-
ners refused to agree to this PROPOSE
ton, and the men left the conference.
At 9 o'clock President Mcmahon re-
ported to meeting of grain shovelers
the result of the conference. A wild
scene ensued. The men poured out
their wrath upon the president and the
committee for having attempted to
make such terms, declared they would
have refused them even II the con-
tractor had accepted them, and, in tho
midst of denunciations of the con-
tractor, the committee, and even Bish-
op Quigley, resolution was adopted
to the effect that the executive COM
mittee representing the strikers should
establish an office and wait there for
the Lake Carriers association to come
to them to agree to break the contract
with Mr.. Corners.
Another resolution was adopted pro-
hibiting the officers or the executive
committee from negotiating further
with Mr.. Corners or making any ad-
vances to the Lake Carriers associa-
ton.
Yesterday afternoon Bishop Quig-
ley reopened St. Bridget's Hall for the
use of the men. The grain shovelers,
however, refused to occupy 1t, and es-
tablished headquarters elsewhere.
The International Seamen's union is
to take part in the struggle. 1t is
claimed that the crews on the vessels
are assisting in the work Of unloading
grain here. A committee of members
of the union is to begin work immedi-
ately for the purpose of melting the
crews of lake vessels to leave their
ships.
