WANT MORE WAGES.
Tin-PIate Workers Think 1t Is Time
for an Advance.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ELWOOD, Ind, Feb. 9-Tin-plate work.
men throughout the country are becoming
restless and want more pay. President T. j..
Shaffer of the Amalgamated Association of
Iron. Steel and Tin-plate Workers, is now in
Chicago for the purpose of comforting with
officials Of the National Tin-plate Company
and TO ask for an advance in wages for all
tin-mill workers in the United States, to
take effect Immediately. The unusually pros
porous condition in the tin-plate trade and
the terms of the wage scale entered into by
the tin manufacturers and the wage COM
mittee of his organization are the motive of
his action. Before the tin-plate trust was
organized quotations on tin plate remained
below the limit that would have entitled
workers TO an advance In wages, but since
the trust was organized the selling price of
tin plate has advanced and President
Shaffer claims that the cost of steel bilets.
from which the tin plate is made, is still
low enough 10 justify workers in asking
for an advance in wages. The advance, If
granted will mean higher wages to fifteen
thousand workers, but cannot take effect
until after July l, as the old scale will still
be in vogue until that time.

LONDON, Feb. 1O.-The Vienna CORE
spondent of the Standard, referring to the
reports that France is seeking Spanish al
lance. recalls the fact that in 1891 Austria
proposed that England and Spain should
Join the Dreibund, and that the proposal
was acquiesced in by Germany and Italy.
But Lord Salisbury firmly declined, says
the correspondent. "Had it not been for the
attitude of the British premier then, Spain
might have belonged to the alliance and the
whole course of recent events would have
been different" According to the same cor
respondent the Austrian papers comment
upon affairs in the Philippines in tone
which is decidedly anti-American

immortality Cranks.

Immortality of fame is something de-

says DR.. John Fiske in The Atlantic.
Physical immortality is something
which has hitherto been supposed to be
ineXorably denied to human beings.
The phase "All men are mortal figures
in textbooks Of logic as the truest of
truisms. But we have lately been as
sured that this is a mistake 1t is only
an induction based upon simple emu
meration. and the first man who escapes
death will disprove it.
So at least was told by IL very down
right person who called on me some
years ago with a huge parcel of manu-
SCRIPT. for which he wanted me to find
him a publisher. He had been cruelty
snubbed and i'll used, but truth would
surely prevail over bigotry, as III Cali
lei case. took his address and let
him leave his manuscript. Its recipe
for physical immortality, diluted
through 600 pages, was simply to learn
how to go without food!
Usually such regimen will kill you
by the fifth day, but if at that critical
moment, while at the point of death,
you make heroic effort and stay alive,
why, then you will have overcome the
king of terrors once for all. l returned
the gentleman manuscript with a
polite note, regretting that his line of
research was so remote from those to
which | was accustomed that l could
not give him intelligent aid.

ent, and IL crier. goes through the town

A basin of water is provided, and the
