Suicide of a Hero of the Maine.

bill" Anthony, who committed suicide
by drinking cocaine in Central Park at
New York Friday, came to fame through
reporting to Capt. Sigsbee when the Maine
was blown up in Havana in these words:
"Sir, have the homer to report that the
ship has been blown up and is sinking "
This report was delivered in the coolest
way possible, in the midst of the confusion
and black darkness which followed the ex-
plosion. On his return to this country
Anthony was accorded the honors of a
hero and was entertained in many cities.
When his leave of absence was ended
Anthony was promoted to be sergeant of
marines, and was detailed at the Brooklyn
navy yard. In one of Anthony's coat
pockets was found a letter written to his
aunt, which read that he was discouraged
and disconsolate, and was going to end it
all. Among the other articles found was
picture of his one month old child, on the
back of which was written: "Bury this
with me-" A Spanish-American war
medal, such as all the survivors of the bat
tie ship Maine received, was also found.
Anthony was warned by the navy de-
partment that if he took part in any theat-
rical show he would have to forfeit his po-
stion. Notwithstanding that fair caution
he yielded to the inducements of those
whose sole interest in him was mercenary,
left the marine corps, and, when the enter
prise of which he was the "star" failed,
found himself out of employment. Pride
the same pride that should have compelled
him to stick to his honorable post-com-
pleted his ruin. 1t is pathetic story.

Funeral OF Vice President Hobart.

The funeral of Vice President Hobart
was held at the Presbyterian Church of the
Redeemer in Patterson, N. j., last Satur-
day afternoon. Business of every kind was
suspended and the city wore its most
sombre garb of mourning. In the throng
of people who attended were President Nc
Kinley, Secretary of State John Hay, Chief
Justice Fuller, ex-Vice President Levi P.
Morton, ex-Secretary of War Alger, Secre-
tary of the Interior Hitchcock, the supreme
court judges, members of the Senate and
members Of the House from nearly every
state in the Union. All the pomp of an
official pageant, which was omitted in def
erence to the wishes of the deceased, could
never have equalled in impressiveness the
scene in the church Rev. Charles s. Shaw
pastor of the church, conducted the SER
vices and gave the funeral address. After
the services the funeral procession wound
its way through long lane of uncovered
heads to Cedar Lawn cemetery, where the
body was placed in the receiving vault.

pieces of music that we have ever

~ HE FIRST Of the month the Ma
tional Executive Board of the So
cial Democratic party met in Chi
cago and took action relative to the
so-called independent labor party in
New York. The board called upon the
members of the party in the latter city
to Immediately withdraw from the I.
L. P. or stand suspended, declaring
that while the trade union movement
is orga nized ''for the purpose of main
tanning and possibly elevating the
standard of living of the wage work
ers, and is of necessity "made up of
men of all parties, and therefore can
not lead the proletariat politically" the
social democrats can not follow the
trade unions Gin their zigzag course in
the political field, and they can least
of all follow them when that course is
capitalistic or semi-capitalistic.'
We do not see how the social DEM
ocrats could have taken any other
stand. The New York Independent la
Dor party is already discredited, hav-
ing fused and dickered with everything
labeled ''reform," and the old parties
as we'll, to get a few candidates into

The Black List.

4 SUIT for damage, of particular in
Il terest to railroad men, has been Of
trial in circuit court at Chicag
for the past ten days. 1t is the case o
Joseph O'Day against the Wabash ant
| Chicago & Northwestern railways, il
which the plaintiff claims $5O,00O dam
| ages for injury done him as the resul
| of being black1isted for participatin,
| in the big strike of 1894.
The railroads have all along main
! tained that the blacklist was a myth
| phantom which only existed in th'
] diseased brain Of employees who hat
| been discharged for cause. But thei
contention received a severe shock las
Thursday when O'Day's counsel pro
! duced a copy of the famous blacklis
! order, issued by the Illinois Centra
| August rs, 1894, and proceeded to prove
| it's genuineness by the testimony of tn
| man who made it.
Norman B. Ford, a former office anC
messenger boy in the office of Superin.
tendent Higgins Of the Illinois Contra
railroad, testified that he had made
the copy Of the black list offered ir
evidence, upon orders from Mr.. Hig-
gins. He testified that he had been
told to make fifty copies, but had made
fifty-one, giving the extra one to his
father, and that he addressed one copy
to the officials of every railroad run
ming out Of Chicago except the Chicago
&, West Michigan.
The blacklist, which Judge Dunno
permitted to be placed before the jury,
in spite Of strenuous objections of the
railroads counsel, is typewriter
document, stating that certain en-
ployes, whose names are given, had
left the employ Of the line for reasons
given, and officials of the line are not
to re-employ them, except under rule
636. This rule provides that no dis
charged employe shall be re-employed
without the consent of the official dis
charging him, and approval of the
superintendent Of terminals and gen.
eral superintendent.
In the list of names Of discharged
employees are several hundred men who
are discharged for participation in
the A. R. U. strike of 1894" The issu-
ing Of this list, according to the COM
plainant, prevented any Of the dis
charged men or strikers from getting

A number of former employees of the
Illinois Central railroad have testified
to their inability to obtain steady en-
ployment since the. issuing of the
blacklist, and the experience Of all
have exhibited great degree of sim
ilarity. application rejected" mo
men needed" ETC., were the excuses
given, but when the applicant has
pushed the question he has invariably
found that his misfortunes could be
traced directly to the strike Of 1894.
The out come of the trial is being
watched with interest by railroad men
throughout the country.

m HE following dispatch apperaed
in one of our metropolitan
dailies:
New York. October 6.-Congressman
Eugene r. Loud, chairman of the house
committee on pOstoffices and post
roads, and Superintendent Victor J.
Bradley Of the railway mail service,
who have just completed six weeks
tour investigating the workings Of the
postal systems of Great Britain, France
and Germany, are busy compiling re-
port of their observations.
IN England said Mr.. Loud, 1--WE
found operation Of a telegraph service
by the postoffice department costly
thing for the government During only
two out of the twenty years, I believe,
that the government has operated lines
have the wires paid interest and oper-
ating expenses, and the service is rel
atively no cheaper than here. The
minimum charge is six pence for l.
words Q2 cents) including address and
signature, and they have to use cipher
and code to keep within the limit. A

That Congressman Loud is most

The government of Great Britain anG

and successfully the work was per-
formed is shown by the results, which
are between 5000 and 1000 bushels Of
