A man of letters who visited Wash

dinner party, says the Washington
Post, during his stay. Then he sat
next to the daughter OF q noted naval
officer. Her vocabulary is of kind
peculiar to extremely young girls, but
she ratified away at the famous man
without moments respite. It was
during the pause in the general con-
versation that she said to him: "I'm
awfully stuck on Shakespeare. Don't
you think he's terribly interestingly"
Everybody listened to hear the great
mans brilliant reply, for as Shakes
pesrean scholar he has but few peers.
Yes" he said. solemuly, II do think
he is Interesting. l think he is more
than that. 1 think Shakespeare is
simply too cute for anything"

Obtains Injunction In Case Involving
Stimulation OF Labels.
Brent Good, president of the Carter
Medicine Company, yesterday received
q telegram from his lawyers in Chi
cago, informing him that a final in
junction, with costs, had been granted
against the Chicago Label and Box
Company. This company makes a spe--
cialty Of manufacturing labels, boxes,
etc., for druggists. The CarteroCom-
pany has been following them through
the courts for two years on the COM
plant that the label company was
making simulations of the labels OF
Carriers Little Liver Pills. They have
now obtained a final injunction, with
costs, and the costs are very large, as
the case has been submitted to Mas
ter in Chancery for final accounting.
The Carter Medicine Company has
been the first and only one to prosecute
printers or engravers who have pre-
pared such labels and wrappers. It
marks a new departure in infringement
cases, and their victory is one of great

The earning power of artists,
whether musical or dramatic, was
never larger than at the present
time, and this satisfactory result, at
least to the recipients, is due to the
devotion of woman to the stage. If
it be true that woman is the main
support of the church, it is equally
true that she is also the main sup
port of the theater and the concert
room, these three institutions sup
plying an outlet for her surplus of
emotion, religious, dramatic and mp-

Full Dinner Pals Are Not So Much In
Evidence as Republican
BlOwhards Declare.

There is no denying ahe fact that
labor is not in as satisfactory a .condi-
ton as the opponents of prosperity
would have US believe. 1t does not
respond to the Mckinley prosperity
and the full tin pals of the perambu-
lating speech-making president are
limited to metaphor and to the comic
republican press. If so prosperous,
why these strikes, boycotts, lockouts,
ETC.? Perhaps there is prosperity and
labor is endeavoring to obtain small
portion of it, but at this present writ
ing there are no indicatiosn that it is
receiving what it should receive and
what it is entitled to receive accord
ing to the predictions of Mr.. Mckinley
and the benevolent trusts. There never
was a time when, and there never was
a nation that has increased in its in
dustrial achievements to such gil
gantic extent as have the United
States. Such an increase should have
attached to it the element of prosper
ity as a necessary adjunct. But labor
is not rising up to the level of this
wonderful prosperity and its unrest
is caused by its struggle to break
through the restraining crust. But
deprivation of the good things attend
ant upon the startling era of trade ex-
pansion, and when we seek for the
obstacle in the way of labor, the OBJ
stacle which it is striving to sur
mount by the only means in it's power,
to wit. strikes and boycotts, we find it
in the trusts and combines and also
in capital in the sense of eX-Spealxer
Reed-that is to say, capital which is
not money, but expansive credit COM
monty known as shares of Stock 1t
is figured by the New York Journal,
and it as fact, that the capital stock
of the combines now drawing a per-
centage thereon out of the people,
amounts to ten thousand milEon dol
lars. This is capital, and it is the
capital which is arrayed against Ia
Dor. We know that it is not money,
for our circulating medium does not
amount to one-fifth of that capitaliza-
ton, but we know that that CAPT
ta1ization is turned into income-pro-
ducing wealth, drawing to itself the
total amount of our circulating me-
dunn as it's profit, and this added to
the other multipications of our cir
cu1ating medium, or our actual money,
compels one dollar of actual money to
perform the work of $3.50 dollars of
credit money. No labor in the world
and no combination of labor can sue
cessfully fight against this burden.
The only remedy is to return to the
people the power to create money
which they have been deprived of and
to destroy the criminal aggressors
upon their finances.

John D. Rockefeller said in an adj

the other evening: "The pursuit of
riches is not a wrong thing. On the
contrary, gold is one of the mightiest

though there are bad rich men just
as there are bad poor ones, I believe
that most wealthy persons look upon
their money as a sacred trust which
they hold for the good of their fell
