intended to be accomplished by arms
directed by military genius; taking this
view OF the trusts, which I hold is the
correct one, I assert boldly that they
are the enemies of society and as such
should be destroyed as any common
enemy and the financial phase of the
question should not enter into the sub
ject; for consideration and liberties are
far above the mere question of mon
ey."
Resolutions denouneing the trusts
have been drafted by the antitrust
delegates for presentation at the after
noon session
The resolutions set forth:
Unalterable opposition to all trusts
and monOpOlies; demand of the several
states and cities that they take such
action as will lead to the public own
ership of all public utilities; demand
that the federal and state governments
enact legislation for the control of rail-
roads; demand that congress and the
legislatures of the several states abol-
ish all special privileges and take ac-
ton to destroy mOnopolies; assert that
no candidate for public Office is enti-
tied to the sufrages of his fellow citi-
zens who does not earnestly declare his
hostility to all trade combinations; de-
clare that it is the duty of the people
by organized effort to secure the nomi-
nations by the political parties of the
opponents of trusts; recommend that
the several state take immediate action
to limit the purposes for which private
and discourage their further formation.
The resolutions were signed by the
following delegates who are all mem
bers of the delegations of their states:
w l. GrOgan, Texas, chairman: NJ.
l. Lockwood of Pennsylvania; Cecil
Smith, Texas; Lawson Purdy, New
York, H. V Johnson, Colorado; W. H.
Claggett, Idaho, and W. S. McComas,
Maryland.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, followed
Secretary Hayes. He said in part:
1T has been said that orga nized Ia
Dor is a trust and I want to say in
connection with this that to our minds
that is an absolute misnomer. Organ
lied labor throws opens its doors to all
who work for wages, and asks them to
come in and share in the benefits. You
can not break into a trust.
We have seen the enactment of the
law known as the antitrust law and
the law known as the interstate COM
merce law, supposed to be enacted for
the benefit of the people and vet the
old practical use of these laws has been
to steal away from US the right of trial
by jury and to imprisOn the workmen
for conspiracy
.As a matter of fact wherever the
workers are organized and have main
tained their organizations, their wages
are higher and hours lower and condi-
tiOns better in spite of combinations of
capital
In the midst of greater concentra-
tiOns of wealth and the vast develop
ment of industry, it behOOveS the work
vote their energies to organized labor
and cOunteract the effect which their
helpless and unprotected condition
would otherwise have upon them
Mr.. Gompers was loudly applauded.
The convention then recessed until 8

COCKRAN'S
MISSION.
Tammany Leader Attends the
Trust Conference
FOE the Purpose OF Keeping
Trust Question
OUT OF PLATFORM
Of Political Parties In Next
Campaign.
Anxious to Meet Col. Bryan on
That Question.

Chicago, Sept 15.-The Record today
says:
The announcement that ". BOurke
Cochran or New York and William J.
Bryan of Lincoln, Neb, would discuss
trusts from the same platform in Cen
tral Music hall tonight for awhile yes
terday threatened to bring about an
open rupture in the conference. Re
ports that had been current when it
was first known that both orators
would address the conference crystal
Hzed during the day in a rumor that
each would insist on the right to speak
last.
Just as the Tammany orator took
his seat in the New York delegation at
the opening of the afternoon session he
was called out by John W. Ella of the
Civic Federation and DR.. Albert Shaw
of New York They engaged him in
earnest conversation over the prior
ity issue" The pOW-wOW terminated
with the adjournment of the trio to a
long distance telephone station where
connection with Lincoln, Neb., was
promptly secured. Mr.. Ella did the
talking. He told Mr.. Bryan that Mr..
Cochran wanted to know his views
about their joint appearance inasmuch
as the committee had decided to play
them at the same time. Mr.. Ella said
it was the Tammanyite's desire to
speak last. Mr.. Bryan said that was
his sentiment and Mr.. Ella left in little
doubt that the Nebraskan's wish was
dangerously near an ultimatum- Then
Mr.. Cochran assumed the nagnani-
nous, said he would defer to Mr. Bry
ans wishes and would be governed by
the committees decision.
The official programme as finally
arranged and given out announces that
the Tammany orator will be heard be-
fore the Democratic leader from Ne
braska is given the floor
Congressman John Wesley Gaines of
Tennessee said he had no comment to
make beyond the announced pro-
sramme. There is no issue between
the Two orators the Nashville repre-
sentative exclaimed. Mr.. Cochran in his
address tonight will be it is said bring
to bear all the persuasiveness of tongue
and profundity of argument at his
command to prove that the question Of
trusts as a national political issue has
no place in the platform Of any pOliti-
cal party in 1900.
According to a prominent New York
delegate Mr.. Cockran's mission in Chi
cagO at this time is to create sentiment
against making trusts an issue next
year. The delegate in question made
the above statement last night immedi-
ately after a conference with the New
York orator and CLEANED the informa-
tion during that conference.

OUTRAGEOUS CRIME.
Negro Boy Fatally Shoots Ed
ward Parker Without
PrOVOcatiOn.

Edward Parker, 17-year-o1d boy
who lives with his parents at 1924 LO-
Gust street. was shot and probably fat
ally wounded by Walter Richardson,
a colored boy of about the same age,
late Thursday afternoon.
The shooting was with malicious in
tent, and if Parker dies, Richardson
will be held for murder. He has not
yet been arrested, but a warrant Will
be sworn out for him some time today.
Young Parker was taken to Stormont
hospital and operated on by Drs.
HOgeboom and Freeman last night. 1t
was found that the bullet mad entered
the abdomen on the right side and per-
fOrated the intestines in twelve places.
The lead was found in the abdominal
cavity.
The shooting occurred as the Parker
boy was returning to his home from
school He met Richardson, who was
carrying a target rife of 22-calibre,
and the colOred boy made an indecent
proposal Parker refused to COM ply.
and without saying anything further
Richardson placed the rife to his shoul-
der and fired. He then made his escape
from the scene
Young Parker dropped to the ground
unconscious. A man passing in that
vicinity at the time of the shooting
went to his assistance and carried him
to barn near by. Medical assistance
was sent for, and after being restored
to consciousness he was taken to his
home and later to the StOrmont hos
pitaI
The boy stood the operation well. but
this afternoon the attending physicians
express but little hope of mis- recovery.
Peritonitis is likely to set in, as a re-
suit of his wounds.
Richardson is a young coIored tough
who lives in the same neighborhood as
the Parker family. The shooting was
wholly unprovoked, and the sentiment
among the people living in that vicin-
ity is very strong against the young

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Soil and location will change the APP.

Mixed husbandry in gardening and
fruit growing is necessary to the best
success.
In pruning trees of any kind it is bet
ter to have one strong branch than two
or three weak ones.
Whenever water is given to house
plants enough should be given to wet
the soil thoroughly.

When in full bearing they will yield
about 300 pounds of nuts to the tree
The nut sells on an average at about

PERMANENT LABELS.
Matter of Some Importance tn
Horticulturists Who Want to
Keep Names of Plants.

The little wooden labels which are
used to mark the trees and plants sent
out from the nursery are not durable.
They are light affairs and generally are
fastened on with a piece of iron wire
which soon rusts off. If it does not rust
and break the limb will often grow
around it, and may become so injured
as to break off. The name is written
on with common lead pencil and the
weather of one year will wear it off, and
thus the nnIne is lost.
IL IL is desired to keep the name of
the plant on a label attached to it it
may be done in this way: Get heavy
six or eight-inch label and rub it over
with white lead thinned with the least
bit of oil. Then with a soft pencil, and
before the lead is dry, write on the
name and anything else you may wish.
This will last for several years.
Now procure some No. IA or No. IL
copper wire and cut it in pieces a foot
or more long. Make loop on each end,
give the middle twist around the label
and hang it around small branch,
hooking the loops together and pinch
ing them up tight. Such label fas-
tened in this manner will last for years,

LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAM NO. 1881
81 am very grateful to you for your
kindness and the interest you have
taken in me, and truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth more
to a woman than all the doctors in the
world. For years had female troubles
and did nothing for them. OF course
/ became no better and finally broke
down entirely. My troubles began
with inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then Inflammation,
congestion and falling of the womb
and inflammation of ovaries.
81 underwent local treatment every
day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permits
sion to go back to work. l went back,
but in less than week was COM
PEELED to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone felt the eff
fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a
package of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat
ments and medicine.

now is How much better you lookn and
you may be sure l never hesitate to tell
the cause of my health. Mrs. Z. j.

TIMELY DAIRY NOTES.

Poor care in the dairy will tear down
faster than good blood can ever build

The dairyman who applies his ener,

Regularity in milking, to prove prof

The farmer and dairyman these days
who is not the reader of practical ag-

The dairyman who has an educated
conscience and needs it will not allow
dirt to sift into the open top of the
