Now. men can be put to intellectual

we have had here representatives of
labor organizations who have been tell

than they ever have been. Certainly
they do not seem to suffer. We are told
that it is not the dollar we want. but
we want the man. Wen, what is the

Great cheering greeted the conclusion
of Mr.. Cockran's speech. General dis
cussion was resumed. Ex-senator Blair
of New Hampshire and William Howe
of New Orleans read short papers. Soon
after, on the motion of Congressman
Gaines of Tennessee, the conference
passed a vote of thanks to the Civic
Federation for the courtesy shown the
visiting delegates.
At a meeting of the resolutions COM
mittee to-day it was decided that no
resolutions should be adopted by the
conference. Edward Rosewater of
Omaha and ex-senator Blair of New
Hampshire pleaded that the sentiment
of the conference be voiced in some
way, but even the resolutions proposed
by Mr.. Keasley of New Jersey declar-
ing that the conference had been pro-
ductive of good and had given better
understanding of the subject of trusts
and combinations were drowned in an
affirmative chorus answering a motion
to adjourn sine die.

STAMPED WAX WHICH TALKS.
The Latest Hypnotic Method of Commu-
nication.
Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle
The symbolic language hitherto spo-
ken by eyes, flowers, handkerchiefs.
postage stamps, sashes, ETC.. must now
give place to the conversation of the
sealing wax.
Now a new way of communication
has been established through the med
ium of the wax which seals your let
tiers, and the dainty boxes containing
various colored sticks of wax are not
alone for show and just to look pretty,
but each color has a meaning of it's
own, and properly applied conveys a
message, which may be businesslike,
social or tender, as the sender desires.
For instance, a business letter should
be sealed with red-very appropriately.
too, it would seem, as red wax-is al
ways more or less connected with legal
documents. When writing to a friend
Use gray. This is quiet and neutral
and very similar to the emotions called
forth by friendship.
If you are writing to your lover and
everything is smooth sailing, then use
blue, but if you wish to hint to him that
you have or think you have any cause
for jealousy, then use the pretty yellow
stick which comes in your box. In re-
plying to a wedding invitation then
white is de rigueur. For a letter of
coincidence it Is optional with you
whether you use black or violet. As
many object seriously to the use of
anything suggesting mourning violet is
very much more of favorite.
dinner invitation calls for seal of
coffee-colored wax, and when man
gets a letter sealed with green from
the girl he admires then he may take
it as a faint suggestion that she shyly
bids him hope.

MEXICO ALL RIGHT.
a remarkable Growth in Exports - Good
Financial Condition.


City of Mexico, Sept 16-President
Dlaz opened congress tonight. His
message was long one, dealing with
the varied phrases of the national ad-
ministrations activity during the past
half year. The president said:
Our relations with foreign countries
have experienced no alteration except
in the favorable sense"
The president noted the remarkable
growth in expectations, notably of min
eral products, and the continual and
healthy augmentation of the manufac-
turing industries.
The federal telegraph service shows
the marked increase, as also does the
postoffice. The federal revenues for the
past fiscal year were estimated at $751;
$4,000, but rose to $4,000 1000
The conversion of the foreign gold
debt has been effected on the most
favorable terms during the past half
year.
Regarding the Yaqui outbreak, the
president says the rebels have been de-
feated in various skirmishes and it may
now be expected that small forces of
troops will bring the revolt to an end,
while the Mayo revolt in Yucatan will
also be speedily suppressed.

Good Story Told of Foreign Diplomat and
American Women.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
speech, when simile runs riot in hyper
bole. In illustration a queer little story
is going the rounds which may well be
taken to heart by those concerned. A
lately arrived diplomat who has been
enjoying the summer at one of the most
fashionable watering places had an
American friend as his guest. During
some conversation concerning the coun-
try the diplomat, in reply to a question
as to what impressed him most re-
piled: THE most noticeable thing
which has struck my foreign mind is.
according to their own testimony, the
extreme delicacy and physical weakness
of the American woman, young and
old. There is hardly an hour that do
not hear some OF them proclaim that
they are dying. They die of the heat,
they die of the cold: they die of laugh
ter and they die of grief. And then.
again. l have heard the expression I
Just expired with surprise OF course
this last / know to be a joke. But it
certainly is curious to note the extent
to which American womanhood is drift
ing to the grave, if the statistics of
their own proclamations of the fact are
reliable. 1t is really wonderful" So
solemn was the Mortified diplomat that
his auditor is at loss to know whether
he was serious or not His name is
withheld because on nothing are diplo-
mats so sensitive as to he published in
criticism of the fair sex.

MORE BANK NOTES.
New York Finauciers Devise Plan to
Relieve the Stringency.

New York Finauciers Devise Plan to
Relieve the Stringency.
New York, Sept. 1.-THE Press says:
Bankers yesterday devised scheme to
prevent further panic in the specula-
tive markets in Wall street. After the
close of the business on the stock ex-
change, and after the issue of the
weekly bank statements that showed
the banks had no money to lend with
out encroaching on legal requirement
reserves, there was a conference be-
tween bankers in several of the big
down town institutions. The issue of
clearing house certificates was dis
cussed, but 1t was decided that such a
movement would be unwise. The ma
jority of the bankers favored rather the
issue of national bank notes, and it was
discovered that several of the wiser
ones had provided for the present emer-
gency.
orders for "circulations" were sent to
Washington some time ago and the
notes have been prepared. Many of the
banks now have them in their vaults
ready to issue at once. 1t is understood
in Wall street that Secretary Gage rec
ommends such an increase in the ma
tional bank circulation and for that
reason he has refused to do more to
relieve the situation than to order the
payment in advance of the interest due
on the government bonds on Oct. l.
An additional issue of $50, 600, 900 20
s40,O0O.0 900 might be legally made by the
New York institutions and it is known
that several millions of dollars of new
money will be issued this week. Bank
ers expect by this means to tide over
the time of active demand for MONEY
in the interior, where it is being used
to move the crops to market

Six Cracksmen Blew Open the Safe.
Gagged the Watchman.

Joliet, ILL.,, Sept. 16.-Six robbers blew
open the safe of the Exchange bank at
Frankfort, small village so miles east
of Joliet, on the Michigan Central road
early this morning and carried away
nearly $4,000 in currency.
Night Waterman Knipple was blind
folded, gagged and thrown into a ditch,
while one man stood ~uard over him,
Then the bank was broken into and
work began on the safe. Three explo-
sions were necessary to blow off the
door. The first aroused a family living
above the bank, but the terrified people
were ordered not to make an cutlery or
strike a light under penalty of DEATH
Having secured the money the robbers
departed. leaving the night Waterman
helpless in the ditch.

that he had good time. my obser-
Vatlons of England said he, ARE that
1t is country with a good political
system; 1t is fully as good as ours. and
England has built up a government full
of stability. I was delighted with out
door life in England. 1 suppose the
English all have their opinion as to our
Philippine policy, but did not discuss
the matter with anyone. OF course. I
believe President Mckinley will be re-
warded, but then have given my opin-
ION on that matter so often that it has
now become rather chestnut. AS to
Roosevelt for vice president, l certainly
Will not discuss that possibility.
II think that industrial conditions
and the Philippine war will prove fac
tors in the coming campaign. The Phil
ippine war will be made an issue by the
democratic party, but we have nothing
to fear. l would as soon have so-called
anti-expansion made an issue as
would the silver question, for silver is
an old man of the sea. / am not afraid
of the outcome. i have reasoned out
that the sound judgment of the people
is that they do not want to bring about
change. They will not, believe, by
their own act, change the conditions of
the country
THE United States has entered on an
era of prosperity. The promises Of the
republicans have been kept. The COM
mercial conditions of the country are
sound and this properly is based on
confidence. l am confident of a repub-
lican victory.
II am Of the belief that there will be
some difficulty in making the trusts
political issue. The republican party is
just as much opposed to the amassing
of wealth in a manner to injure the
public as is the democratic party"
Mr. Hanna would not discuss Ohio
politics, but when McLean's name for
governor was mentioned, said: That's
good"
In regard to the Dreyfus trial, the
senator said:
II heard no expression of opinion as
to the Dreyfus trial while abroad ex-
cept those made by Americans. Every
American whom met on the other side
is heartily in sympathy with Drey

by the United States navy department
last year, in finding good machinists
for ships at smaller salaries than are
paid by the merchant marine. The
British navy lacks 800 men of the num-
Der required to man vessels.
To remedy this serious defect it is
proposed to divide the country into five
marine engineering recruiting districts,
each with an admiralty agent with q
civilian engineer in touch with the ship
ping centers. The system has just
commenced at the sunderland with
signs of success.
The secretary of war, the Marquis of
Lansdowne, has issued a circular to the
general officers saying he has noticed
that a predominant fashion exists
among young officers to shave the up
per lip and adding that this is much
to be regretted. The result is that
many unfertile lips are being coerced.
The regulation against shaving the up
per lip has been little observed of re-
cent years and its revival IL unpopular.
