From the Chicago Record)
most amusing character at the can
yon is Captain Hance. an old frontiersman
of eccentric manner, who has been living
on the edge Of the gorge for twenty-five
years. most of the time in utter isolation.
and, according to his own confession. has
denied himself everything. even the truth.
Captain Hance Is an inveterate talker. He
talks with his whole body-his arms, and
his legs. his feet and his fingers. his
shoulders and his head, and his eyes and
his tongue. When he tells a story he
employs every member Of his body, and
all his several senses. When he hasn't
anybody else to talk to he talks to him
self. He plays practical jokes on himself.
tells himself funny stories. and laughs at
them all alone. so that people can hear
him 100 yards away. The neighbors say
they have often heard Hance roaring with
laughter and when they have come up
to him and enquired what was the matter
ne has innocently replied that he was tell
ing himself funny story. Captain Hance
advertises himself as the biggest liar in
Arizona. and is proud Of that title. He
explains that he has lived under the in
fiuence Of big things like the canyon so
long that it has affected his mental vision
and his moral perceptions. AS a result
he indulges in tales that are somewhat ex-
aggerated but none the less interesting.
Captain Hance used to claim that he built
the canyon; that he dug 1t out all alone
by himself when he was boy: that he
loved to work so much that the Eastern
States did not furnish an adequate field
for his energy. 50 he came to Arizona and
tried his hand in making canyon. A year
or two ago q little girl came to the can
yon and listened with eyes and mouth and
ears open to the remarkable experiences
related by Captain Hance. and when he
had finished telling the members Of the
party to which she belonged how he dug
the canyon all by himself the child ex-
claimed Indignantly:
IT don't believe . word of IT,"
my dear" responded Captain Hance. re-
proachfully, don't you believe that dug
the canyon?'
"If you dug IT," replied this enfant ter
rible, what did von do with the dirt?''
For once in r'e - Captain Hance was
silent and go 'as never told that
story since.

A TRADE MOVEMENT
TO PREVENT STRIKES
Plans Engaging Attention in
Great Britain.
A Combination System Proposed by
a Birmingham Manufacturer.
Details of the Scheme shown In q
Report From an American Com
mercial Agent.

The industrial circles Of Great Britain
are discussing with much interest a new
trades movement which has arisen and
which promises to be Of great Importance
to all industries In the Kingdom. Com
mereial Agent Grimm. stationed st Limo
ges. but now in Washington for q short
time. says in report to the State Depart
ment:
THE untold evils wrough by the engi-
neers' strike in 1897. by which hundreds Of
Thousands Of innocent people suffered. sew
eral manufacturers were ruined. many mil
lions sterling in the form OF wages and
profits were driven from their natural cur
rents. and some Industries were trans
planted in foreign lands. especially In Bel
gium. Germany and the United States. add
ed to the distressing coal strike in South
Wales. which resulted in disaster to all
concerned. and ether troubles. have empha-
sized the question which has been before
the public for SO long a time. namely: Is
there not some means of cooperation by
which the interests Of the employer and
the employees may be united, by which
these disastrous strikes-so fatal not only
TO individual comfort. interests. and hap
piness, but to industrial and commercial
successfully be prevented?
Mr.. E. J. Smith, originator Of this COM
biHation movement, has been a successful
manufacturer for several years in Bir-
mirgham; he has held the different posi-
tions Of employe. traveller, salesman. and
manufacturer in his trade. and has gained
knowledge from experience. He has
brought to the front a system which is
recognized by students in Great Britain.
Germany. and Norway and Sweden as con-
tanning possibilities of better results than
any other scheme so far devised.
The initial work to be undertaken when
trade desires to form an alliance. is to
ascertain most carefully and conclusively
the actual costs of production Politi-
cal economists have stated that these are
known TO a very few manufacturers. In
certain industries. where there is a great
deal of intricacy In the manipulation OF
the raw materials and the manufactured
article. it requires considerable scientific
knowledge and patient work to ascertain
costs.
To prevent manufacturing being carried
on at a pecuniary loss a minimum scale is
adopted. A representative article. like
certain pattern Of bedstead or one dozen
plates of a given size and shape is taken as
a basis to ascertain how much 1t costs
TO manufacture; the manufacturers agree
on the minimum rate at which 1t can be
made; then a certain percentage Is added
for profits and this forms the minimum
selling price for that article. The manu-
facturers bind themselves. by the rules OF
the alliance not to sell without the consent
OF the alliance below this minimum price.
The workmen are also offered certain in
terests in the success Of the business. and.
both parties being mutually dependent,
there is no occasion for strikes, lockouts,
or trade dispute"
