That is the increase the men asked for.
The writer OF that article knows thai,
the men want n living for fewer hours
OF labor: thev don't care to work as
slaves; they want some time TO spend at
nome with their familles-some time to
improve their Intellectual and moral
natures. Tha. Is why they demand few

In that letter the anonymous tries to
quote from speaker at the labor snnss
meeting held In the Opera House. By
referring 10 those speeches (and / be-
lieve he tries TO quote from Father AIT

that Father .Al,myer did not compare
the strike here In Wheeling to starving
workers In metropolitan workshops. He

cial reform In the labor world. Again.
then. does this writer try 10 deceive the
public. ny
And let me say In conclusion, that
rather Altmyer went TO that meeting
at the earnest Invitation Of the laboring
men. He went and spoke as minister
or God, ns priest of the Catholic
church. as he, himself. In his speech
said. He touched not upon poli.lcs-he
cnHreiy avoided politics; he simply de-
CARED the rights OF labor md the duties
OF capitalists, as a minister of God and
a priest OF the Catholic church. That Is
MS right; yea, It Is duty sometimes
incumbent upon him. That meeting was
most opportune time and place to
preach such doctrines.
1t was the first time that Father All
myer appeared at any public meeting as
q speaker since his ordination. neither
has he nor any OF his sermons at the ca
thedral touched upon politics.

to Manila come time ago. The inven-
ton Is an automatic feeder for locomo-
tlres and other furnaces. using pow

producing heat. Fire brick are used,
same as In 9 gas furnace. md the fuel
In passing through expands into gasses
which are all consumed In flames, CIV
Ing as result an even temperature. no
smoke or clnder, and saves large
percentage OF fuel. Experiment shows
that the fuel, as 1t Is being consumed
In passing through the brick. intensi-
fies the heat thereof very largely, owing
to the perfect combustion and uniform
distribution of heat. From this will al
so result saving TO the furnace itself.

SUPPOSED CORPSE WAKES UP.
Wa~ Veteran Laid in Coffin Astonisnes
 Comrades by ReviVing

Thomas H. Grisham, cha 'rman of tho board of managers of the soldiers hCma at Dodge City, is a man of quiet man. ners who enjoys a reputation in Chase county, where he lives, for truthfulness and veracity This statement is made necessary by the following s5cry, which Gresham is telling to his friends:
 John Clark, a veteran of the civil war, was sent to the hospital connected with the home fCr treatment for ty phoid f1ver. He grew verse and finally the doctors said he was dead and the body was duly laid cut and placed in Q coffin.
 Some of his old comrades sat up in the adjoining room that night, ard along toward morning w5re scared half to death by a tremendous humping and pounding in the ccffin lying on the floor with the cover off and Clark wi b his shroud on, sitting on the floor rub ping his eyes, The watchers turned ln a general alarm and the surgeons came and rubbed the old man in alcohol Clark recovered rapidly after this eX~ perience and is now in Michigan visit ing relatives. Or sham asked him h0W he felt when he was supposed to be dead:
 "T thought myself that l was dy- Ing, said CIafh, duu luG 0ApO1 was not unpleasant. There was ncth- ing I cared for that made it necessary for me to live. But when I regained consciousness I knew I wasn't dead for my feet were cold and I was hun gry.'
 ''How did that prove that you w5re not dead?"
 ''T knew that if I were in Heaven wouldn't be hungry, and then they don't have cold fest in he'll" This in cident took placs months ago, and Grisham vouches for the tru,hfulress of the story-Kansas City Sun.

The bear brushed his paws down the dogs sides and shook him off Then he saw before him 8 white and black object, which lowered its head. There was a collision, and the bear, dazed, put a paw feebly 10 his head. Canine teeth seized him by the left hind leg. The bear swung about and landed a blow on the dogs head. He exposed an exransa of his neck at the same time, and upon his weak point fell a blow from the hard horns and harder head.

 | The wonderful growth Of the tele- ] graph business can best be shown by
 quoting some figures. Thirty ysa-s ago
 there were only 5000 telegraph office
 and little mere than 75,000 miles Of
 wire strung throughout the length and
 breadth of the land. At the present
 time there are about 25,000 offices and
 over 100000 miles of wire. The an
 nual number of messages handled thir- ty years ago was 5,S792S2; today it is
 80 900 000 The average cost to the sender thirty years ago was $1047; the average cost today is 30.9 cents. At the start the cost to the company was more
 than twice what it is t-day to the sender
 In the world Of speculation the tele- graph plays an important part. From the stock, produce, cotton, coffee and other exchanges direct wires run to all the leading cities, and so great are the facilities of the service that business is done almost as if from m-uth to mouth. Ther5 are thousands of bankers all over the United States who have their pri- v2te wire to the great centres Of trade. The big newspapers in every large city and even in smaller ones have thalr
  pend on the service for giving their readers the news of the day. The head quarters Of the Western Union com pany are in it's own building. at theI corner of Broadway and Dey street. Itl also owns a large and capaciCus build ing for it's offices in Chicago. The pin cipal uptown office of the company is at Fifth avenue and Twenty-thiTd stree, between which and the main office there is an elaborate system of pneu- matic tubes Through these messages are shot at great speed, thus say .ng the time Of repeating them at the different offices. |
 The operating rc1m at the main building, at Broadway and Dey street, occupies two entire floors, and covers a space of 30,000 square feet. The switch board by which connection is made with the different parts of the country is one of the most wonderful meChan- ical constructions in the city
 The telegraphic service in the city is The cost of a city message is only 20 cents, and where there IS need for urgent information this is quicker than a messen ger boy.

TOLD THE PRISONER TO RUN
As Consequence inc Iris n C. Was >hOf, and His Attorney is in Trouble.

George Russell, alias George Scott, charged with bigamy, was snot through the left wrist by Matt Kenney, deputy marshal. while attempting to escape from Justice Spangler's court room this morning. Russell was taken to police headquarters, where Dr. Monahan, as sistant police surgeon, dressed his wound.
 Russell has been in charge of the county authorities for some time, charged with bigamy. On two other occasions he was taken before Justice Spangler to be arraigned, but the pres ecuting witnesses did not appear. The last time the justice stated that he was tired of continuing the case and unless the witnesses appeared today the case would be dismissed.
 Russell has a lawyer named A. A Howell, and when Russell was brought in court this morning it is stated the lawyer advised him to get away. But kenney in the meantime had learned that Russell was wanted in Kansas and he objected. According to those who were near Howell insisted on Russells s running, and as Russell started away he, Howell, it is reported held the off cer He was easily shaken off, how ever, and Kenney ran after his prison CT, at the same time drawing his re- vOlver.

IRON FOR ALL THE WORLD
Our Manufacturers Rushed With
 Foreign Orders.

The astonishing advance in the iror
 industry in the United States continue!
 with no sign of a falling off Early il
 the month the Sun showed how in two
 decades the country had completely re
 versed export and import business il
 iron. Where in 1880 the imports ot
 iron footed up $70,000.000 and more
 and the exports only $13.000,000, this
 year the exports foot up S0,000000
 and more and the imports $15,000, 900
 When that article was written the
 United States led the world in the iron
 industry The past month has served to increase the lead to a wonderful ex- tent Orders are coming in from all
 parts of the world to the manufacture
 CTS of iron and steel in the United States for all manner of product manu- factured and unmanufactured. Yester- day morning Secretary of State Hay received a cablegram from Ambassador Hitchcock at St. Petersburg who is about to retire from that post to sue ceed Secretary of the Interior Bliss in the cabinet, that he had been officially notified that contract for S0,000 tons of steel rails had been awarded to the Maryland Steel company.
 Yesterday mornings papers con tained the news that another contract for 32 900 tons of steel rails to be used in Australia had been awarded at Vic toria to the same company. The Week ly Review of Dun & Go. yesterday said of the booming industry:
 "The story of the iron is like a dream. With 25,000 tons of Bessemer pig sold at Pittsburg for S10.60 and gray forge at $9.40, and Chicago salss liTntpd only hU oa Ta pitU Of the works, and eastern sales so numerous and so large as to raise the price 25 cents, there is a demand for finished products which includes at Philadel- phia 1000 tons of plates for export to South America, 5000 tons at Chicago, where works are crowded, S0,O0O tons steel rails by the Maryland Steel con- pany for Asiatic Russia, 35,00U tons for Australia against British bids at Pitts burg, and about 10000 tons domestic at the east, 6,600 tons structural work at Chicago and Pittsburg and 5000 tons for car builders at Chicago, all the works there being crowded, with heavy buying of sheets and wire rods and sharp competition at the south in cot ton ties, a pending contract for 20,- 600 tons cast pipe for Yokohama and sales of smaller quantities in each class too numerous to mention. Prices of iron and steel products have not ma terially changed, although the tone is everywhere stronger, and for wire nails quotatoins have been advanced to $1.30 | at Pittsburg But this country is beat | ing the world in this industry. All this business is done with full belief that the next years demand will be greater than ever before, and it is cred itable, especially in the iron and steel l in prices of finished products has been made The range of prices is nearly 20 per cent lOwer than in 1892, indicating an astonishing increase in the quantity i of products exchanged.-New York | Sun.
