In England the women who go about

No one who has attended state and
national declarations can have the
least doubt that women are interested
in politics. They are intensely inter-

the candidates. There are no neu-

Upon the subject of "Imperialism"

Mr.. Bryan expresses himself thus in

I'VE declare again that all govern

their just powers from the consent of
the governed; that any government
not based upon the consent of the
governed is a tyranny, and that to
impose upon any people government

of Imperialism for those of repub-

conference Of the American Window
Glass company and the l.. a. 300 wage
committees at Greensburg, Pa, in 1899.
President Burns took firm stand
against any proposition made which
would have u tendency to discriminate
against the Independent and co.opera-

not enough money In Wall street to in.
duce him 80 do anything that would
result unfavorably to the independent

at that conference that IL anything was
ever done that would cause tie-up Of
the independent factories it would be
because the manufacturers had gotten
the cutters and hatteners in such posi-
tion that they would not work. The
president stated to the trust committee
that as rich as the American Window
Glass company was it did not have
money enough to get the wage commit
tee OF L. A. 300 to prevent the inde-
pendent and cooperative factories from
starting.
"At this years wage conference with
the trust, President Burns assumed an
entirely different attitude by not only
interfering with the rights of the cut
ters' and fiatteners' organizations to
settle their own wage scales, but in
discriminating against the Independent
and cooperative plants by refusing to
settle the scale with them until the
trust had secured sufficient number of
blowers and gatherers from l.. A. 300
to man its plants, also by discriminating
against members Of L. A. 300 by refus-
ing to permit them to go to work for
the Independent companies with whom
they had already contracted to work.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR !!
Pushing the rlovement to Reorganize
the Window Glass Workers Union.
Working Among independents First Meeting
With Great support from Old 1embers.


John A. Conner. of Washington, D..
c., a member OF the knights OF Labor,
and two eastern members Of the Window
Glass Workers organization, are now
working in Indiana State. To news
paper representative MIR. Conner gave
out the following regarding the present
condition of affairs in L. A. 200:
'On Aug. u, President Burns Of l..
A. 300, Knights of Labor, sent out II
resolution to the members Of the organ
ization asking that they give him and
the majority officers Of L. A. 300, full
power to withdraw from the knights Of
Labor should they ~ any time deem 1t
advisable, and also to give them an.
tbority To rcafliliate with the knights
Of Labor after all danger of complica-
tions had passed.
by this action President Burns and
the other officers of l.. A. 200 have ex
PEELED themselves from the knights Of
Labor, rs the constitution OF the
Knighs of Labor provides that when
an officer or member advocates the dis
ruption OF a local assembly, ar the with
drawal Of its members. by that act they
stand expelled.
'As soon as the L. A. 300 officers had
committed this oifense against the
superior organization, General Master
Workman John Parsons and the general
executive board Of the Knights OF La
Dor were called upon by the members
Of Local Assembly 300 to prevent him
from carrying out the intention Of the
resolution. Their first action was to
arrange for personal interview with
the members OF l.. A. 300 and inform
them OF the real situation. and the di-
rect cause OF such action on the part of
the L. A. 300 officers.
"The response to the resolution is
sued by President Burns and his asso-
ciate officers was anything but encour-
aging to them. Out OF total member
ship OF almost 5000 only about four
hundred were given opportunity for AN
expression on the proposed action.
Nearly half Of the four hundred who
voted were against the resolution.

from the knights of Labor was to OBJ
tain absolute sovereignty in his organ

"As II result Of the foregoing order
many unskilled men have been given
employment in the ilattcning depart
ments Of the trust plants and also have
become members Of the organization
controlled by Burns. The effect of this
action however, has been anything but
pleasing to the blowers and gatherers.
They have been able to make less than
half what they did last fire. and In many
factories they have quit work pending
settlement Of the present difiiulties.
Last years scales provided that the
blowers and gathrrers should receive pay
for all glass broken by cutters and fiat
teners. Under President Burns agree
ment with the trust this year the blow
ers and gatherers are forced to suffer all
losses resulting in the naitening and

RECKLESS AARON BURR.
Interesting and Dramatic story of
His Marriage In Old Age.

In an article ON historic homes OF New
York Truth tells the following interest
ing story OF Aaron Burr's marriage in his
old age TO the widow of Stephen Jumel,
who was well known in the early history
of the city:
Conceive, il you will, the picture of
Burr, gifted adyenturer that he was,
broken in health, branded in the popular
mind as the murderer of Alexander Ham
ilton and returning from a long exile to
find himself an outcast in the city where
he had once been the political monarch of
all he surveyed and a distinguished figure
In society and at the bar. Conceive, If
you can, this lamentable old man. smrk
ing through his wrinkles, bowling and
prancing rather stiffiy because of his
rheumatic joints and with his mouth
full of pretty platitudes, paying court to
the widow of Stephen Jumel, herself in
the prime of years and health. Remove
from the picture its surface incongruities,
and you have a bit of pure pathos une-
qualed in the annals of foolish great
men.
But something of his old time power
to charm the gentler sex must have stood
by him in his years Of mental and physic-
al misery, for In his suit for the widow
Jumel's hand and fortune he won-glori-
ously, dramatically. Rebuffed repeatedly,
Burr finally declared in passionate rage
that on a given day he would arrive at
the Jumel mansion accompanied by q
clergyman, who should marry them on
the spot. He would give his prospective
bride no quarter, no chance OF escape
from the inevitable.
"She was amused at the threat and dis
missed the old man with more than her
usual GOODNESS of demcanor. Burr stuck
to his avowal and one July day rolled up
In carriage, and with him minister
the same who 80 years before performed
the marriage ceremony for Burr and the
mother Of his daughter, the beautiful
Theodosia. There was something of a
scene in The old house on this day. There
were tears of anger on the part of Burr.
Relatives demonstrated; Burr remained
immovable. All feared a scandal. The
minister, book in hand, stood unobtru-
sively in the background. There were
more tears, more declarations of undying
love, and the widow Jumel became Mrs.
Aaron Burr.
They were married in the great draw
ing room of the Jumel mansion. Burr
squandered with reckless hand the wealth
acquired by Stephen Jumel and left for
the enjoyment of his marital partner.
There were many bitter quarrels between
the i'll mated pair, and they were soon d.
yorced. Burr died in 1896, but madame
lived until 1865. dying recluse and

DeceitruI shadowgraphs.

It appears that, like its prototype the

be made to tell anything but the truth. A
Chicago electrical specialist has been
making some interesting experiments at
the suggestion of the attorneys of the

ration when introduced as evidence in a
damage suit. One OF the lawyers exposed
his hand before the machine with the
muscles relaxed. fingers extended and the
member generally in normal position.
The shadowgraph showed the bones to
be in perfect condition.
The attorney then made a second expo
sure of the same hand, cramping the first
joints of the fingers slightly. The ends Of
the fingers appeared to have been crushed
and the bones were apparently of unnat-
ural size. In another experiment the op-
orator showed that it is possible to ar
range an object on the outside of the
body and make it appear to be lodged
within. Thus bullet placed in the cloth
ing on the back Of the body was shown in
the shadowgraph as resting against the
