STRIKE is NOT YET ORDERED
Dock Workers Await the Judgment of
President Keefe of the
'LOngshOremen.

BUFFALO, N. Y, June 20.-Contrary to
expectations, general strike of dock work
ers was not ordered tonight. A conference
was held by representatives of the various
branches OF labor along the docks and
after the freight handlers had been urged
in vain to return to work it was decided that
no action looking to a general strike should
be taken until President Keefe of the
longshoremen arrives here and looks into
the situation. A telegram was sent to Mr.
Keefe and he is expected here tomorrow
night
Leaders Of the different labor bodies who
were spoken to at the close OF tonight's
meeting, said that while they were ayerse to
general strike, and would try to avert
It, the agreement of the different unions
to stand together was binding and should
the request for an advance in wages de-
manded by the freight handlers fail nothing
would prevent the calling out of all the
workmen.
In the meantime nothing of any con-
sequence is being done on the docks. The
few vessels that are in the harbor are
being unloaded slowly by nonunion men.
AS much freight as possible is being d.
yerted to the railroads and the managers
at the different freight houses appear alto
gether Indifferent as to whether the strike
continues or not.

TURN KEYS OVER TO THE ELKS
Plug Hat and Cane brigade Now
Has Entire Possession
of st. Louis.

ST LOUIS, June 20.-Thousands of mem
bers of the Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks are here from every prominent city
in the country to attend the thirtyfirst
meeting of the grand lodge and reunion of
that order, which began here today and will
continue throughout the week
Various kinds Of entertainment and ex-
cursions have been provided for the visitors
by the local lodge. Tomorrow there will be
grand parade, in which 1t is expected that
5000 Elks will participate. There will also
be prize drills and band contests For the
latter event at least twenty bands have as
sembled Twelve thousand dollars in prizes
will be distributed among these contestants
and to participants in the pcrale.
The opening exercises Of the grand lodge
and reunion of thelorder were held today
at the Olympicfheater which was crowded
with badge-bedecked Elks and their ladies
when Rev. R.. G. Roscamp, grand chaplain,
of kokomo, Ind arose and offered prayer.
Louis p. Aloe, chairman of the local ex-
ecutive committee, made the opening ad-
dress of welcome. He was followed by
Mayor Henry Ziegenheim in one of his char
acteristic speeches, in which he welcomed
the Elks to St! Louis, turning over to them
the keys of the city and the breweries. Bert
w. Lyon of St: Louis welcomed the visitors
I
Hon. John Calvin of Cincannati the grand
exalted ruler, responded. He thanked the
mayor and local Elks for their hearty well
come and then went on to say: "The
order Of Elks has been more misunderstood.
more censured and more abused by those
who do not know 1t than any other organ
iZation in existence. On the other hand it
has been and Is more praised. more COM
mended and more loved by those who do
know 1t than any other organization.
Many people have thought it was merely a
convivial organization, with no serious pur-
pose or object - This is a great mistake.
The groundwork and foundation of our order
is the great golden rule of life-"Do unto
others as you would that they should do
unto you"
After addresses on "a Sketch of the Past"
by Meade d. Detweiler, past grand exalted
ruler, and "A Glimpse Into the Future" by
Hon. Howard McSherry of New Brunswick
lodge, N j., the meeting dissolved and the
grand lodge went into secret session for the
transaction of business.
The first thing taken up in secret ses-
sion was the annual report of Grand Sec
retary Reynolds. This showed total mem
bership Of $4,000, divided among SIC lodges
During the last year seventy-six new lodges
with membership of 11,000, have been
added to the roll. The report was referred
to committee for action. The report of
the grand treasurer was read and also re-
ferred to committee for action.
The consideration oale new constitution
was made special orCer for tomorrow aft
ernoon. The vote on the place for holding
the next grand lodge was also made a special
order for Wednesday afternoon.
The conclave then adjourned to 2 p. m
tomorrow.

money orders and checks directed to all
parts Of the country and Europe. One check
found in the pile was for SEQ, 600, while an
other for large amount was sent from
Marcus Days bank at Anaconda.
The fact that the robbers had been in
the employ OF the Chicago postofice since
June l and that all the thefts were COM
mitted since that time, while the prisoners
were driving their wagons, makes their
scheme one OF the boldest in the recollection
OF the postotilce inspectors The mail was
all taken in pouches while being carried in
wagons from the postofIlce to the railroad
stations and back and II has been admitted
that three sacks were taken In one day.
The prisoners will not admit that they Sc
cured much OF value from their depredations
but declare they would have been consider
ably richer had their scheme not been dis
covered so soon. They were preparing to
destroy the mail matter when arrested and
had hidden most OF 1t away in sacks in the
attic of the house in which they lived.

LAYS IT ALL TO THE NEGRO
Charges the Lack of Prosperity In the
south to the NOnDrOHressive
Spirit of the Race.

WASHINGTON, June 20.--The Indus rial
! commission today continued It's investigation
or the agricultural conditions OF the south.
J. Polk Brown, president of the Agricul-
tural society of Georgia, was the first wit
ness. He agreed with Mr., Barrstt, who tes-
tined yesterday, that the condition of agri-
culture In the south was more depressed
than 1t had ever been. More people were
plowing bare footed and bare backed than
ever before. He agreed with the late Henry
Grady that the fault was not with the soil
or the climate, nor, as many had claimed,
was 1t, entirely with the tariff. One of the
most prolific causes of the trouble was in
the fact that cotton was practically the
only crop. Another cause, he asserted was
that the education was not sufficiently prac-
teal. 1t should teach people to do manual
labor. So far as the colored race was con-
cerned there was no opening for them in
the trades or the professions.
Mr.. Brown dwelt upon the presence Of the
negro as the special cause of the want of
development of the south. He regarded
him as retarding the Industrial, moral, re-
ligious, social and agricultural development
of the section and he felt that IL he were
absent a better class of labor would take
his place The more the negro was paid
the less efficient he was as a laborer. Mr..
Brown wanted the race separated from the
whites and colonized either in this country
or elsewhere in the interest of the southern
states. But the race Is n1Hpr J. ;rssslye
and indispcsed to adopt new methods and
new devices. The great obstacle in the
way of the development of the manufactur-
ing interests was the want of money.
Mr.. Brown advocated diversified crops.

recommending that each community should
raise sufficient Of everything to meet Its own
demands
At the afternoon session the commission
listened to q statement by Z. II. Lovejoy,
a merchant and planter Of Uawkiusville,
Ga. He spoke especially OF the relation OF
the local merchants and the farmers. The
merchants themselves had not been pros
porous for several years. They were cons
PEELED to make the ajorty OF the sales on
credit and had TO take mortgages upon thd
land CT the farmers, II they had any, ca

of them were not able to give collateral
Of any value and to such men sales were
made on large margins OF profit
I'VE size man up" he said. II he Is
good, we sell to him on a small margin.
II he is hard case, we take what he has
and quit"
He said that freight rates from Georgia
to New York were about twice what they
are from New York to Georgia The large
cities were evidently being built UP at the
expense of the country.

tuition in moulding and shaping the citizens
of the nation can never be told.
II am glad that we are demonstrating
In the United States today that the boy
shall have no more advantages than the
girl, and Mount Holyoke and Smith and
the half dozen other institutions of the
land are demonstrating that fact
"An educated womanhood is an open
school for citizenship every day of the year
and the home is the training school for the
mother, the soldier and the statesman. l
wish for this graduating class all good
things and l want you to be assured that
all good things wait upon pure and noble
woman"
AT the close of the exercises the COM
pany proceeded to Mary Brigham hall, where
the president retired for half an hours rest.
President Grccts His Friends.
At 3 o'clock a reception was held on a
platform erected in front of the local church,
at which the president shook hands with
townspeople, and then the party returned to
the Whiting house at Holyoke.
Assistant Secretary Of the Navy Allen and
Lieutenant Crane, who arrived just in time,
participated in the reception. Governor and
Mrs. Wolcott returned to Boston Immediately
after the chapel exercises. The evening was
spent very quietly at the Whiting resi-
dence and the president and Mrs. Mckinley
retired early.
Tonight is the last that will be spent in
Holyoke. At 1915 tomorrow morning trip
down the river will be taken on the steamer
Mascot and the remainder Of the day will
be spent in receptions and in reviewing a
parade in Springfield. The presidents spe-
cal train will leave Springfield for Adams
at o'clock and the following days until
Wednesday, June 2S, Will be spent at the
home of w. b. Plunkett., The president
will leave for Washington on the night of
June 2S.
Mount Holyoke college, in comforting a
degree upon the president today, followed
closely after Smith college at Northampton,
the trustees of which on Monday night in
formed the president that they had voted to
confer upon him the degree of LID.
The president sent the following acknowl-
edgment to President Seelyee to Smith col
lege:
Receive for yourself and the trustees my
high regard for the honor conveyed upon
me. Mrs. Mckinley joins with me in hearty
congratulations to the class OF '99.''

A THOUGHTFUL WRITER.



when / first read in your advertisements
the serious charges brought against the
old-style coffee, l knew them to contain
simple and accurate statements of scien-
tfc fact which any Psychologist or hygien-
ist could substantiate
Still, as an old coffee drinker, 1t was
hard to make up my mind to change the
old habit which had become seemingly so
fixed part of my life. For many weeks
l allowed myself to read your sober warn
ings and stirring appeals to the conscience
and reason of the people, without taking
action, Notwithstanding the fact that l had
for years felt the habit was undermining
my nervous force. impairing the memory,
weakening the sight and threatening even
to soften the brain. l had also come across
numerous instances among my acquaint-
apce of dyspepsia brought about or largely
aided by the accumulated evils of daily
coffee drinking
An old restaurant man finally induced me
to give Postum a trial. he and his wife
having adopted 1t as one of their household
staples ! knew him to be somewhat of a
coffee connoisseur, and was the more i'm
pressed by his suggestion. My first trial
was unsatisfactory and / put 1t away. but
fortunately noticed your published warn
Ing as to not cooking the coffee sufficiently,
and | saw then that / had not given 1t a
fair trial; so ! went at II again, and this
last trial was sufficient to convince me that
the product is indeed marvellous invention
and justifies all the claims and more that
you make regarding it,
Since that time the Postum has become a
daily beverage and a household necessity
with the whole family. The benefits that
have come to US have been too many and
too subtitle to fully specify. In my own
case l enjoy sound sleep at night, wax
ing thoroughly refreshed my eyes are
stronger and brighter, memory is certainly
better and my nerves and digestion i'm
measurably improved. 1t is my belief that
coffee and tea drinking is largely responsible
for much OF the domestic friction and mis-
cry. owing to the terrible rayages 1t works
on the nerves and digestion of those sub
ject to these unfortunate habits" w.
