MUST BE UNION MADE.
Scheme ON Foot in Chicago to Refuse
Burial to Corpses in NOn-Union

Scheme on Foot in Chicago to Refuse
Burial to Corpses in Non-Union
Collins.
CHICAGO, March 16.-The Times
Herald tomorrow will say:
Unless a body goes to its last rest
ing place in a union-made coffin, it
will be refused burial in the cemeteries
of Chicago and vicinity, If the plans
of the labor unions to organize a
grave diggers' union are carried out.
Already they have compelled the plac-
ing of a union label on every cradle
manufactured and 1t is the avowed
object of the unions to unionize every
thing from the cradle to the grave, in
elusive. A committee has been ap-
pointed by the woodworkers' to union
lie the coffin factories. They will be-
gin with factory on Carroll avenue.
They will insist that each casket bear
the union label, which is a metal
plate with the words Union Made,
Amalgamated Woodworkers' Interna-
tional Union of America"
To enforce the use of union collins
the woodworkers. as soon as they have
unionized the factories, will attempt to
organize the grave diggecs into a
union and have them refuse absolutely
to inter body unless it is cased in a
union casket. 1t is estimated that
there are about $50 grave diggers en-
ployed in the cemeteries of Chicago,
and by organizing them the labor
unions feel they could control the sit
uation.
I'VE already have the union label on
all cradles made" said Secretary John
Lee, of the woodworkers," and why
should we not have union collins and
union grave diggers? 1t is to the in
terests of laboring men to have every
article used from the cradle to the
grave union made"

ANOTHER.

There have been several reports that
there was trouble over the way
Anna Gould's little French count was
making the money fly. These reports
have been promptly and emphatically
denied. Now we read that the civil tri-
bunal of Paris has appointed Mr.. George
j. Gould trustee for the Countess of
Castellane, his sister, and that accord
ing to the pleadings in the case the lit
tie Count has managed to spend 23,000,-
900 francs in four years.
Same old story Little French counts
are not apt to make better husbands
for good and rich United States girls
than United States noblemen. But
good and rich United States girls seem
to want them, however high they come.
George J. Gould has good sense and
good business ability, and it is to be
hoped that he will be able to protect
his sister from financial disaster. 1.-THE
Countess of Castellane sounds well,
and love is better than money but 1t
has long been evident that the Count
Boni de Castellane is uncomfortably
extravagant, and not just the man sem
sible and shrewd Jay Gould would have
picked out for his daughter.

FINE TALK.

Senator Jones, chairman Of the Demo-
cratic National committee, doesn't see
anything wrong with Crokers incen-
diary suggestion that Democratic vot
ers congregate about the polling places
on the evening of election day, count
noses, and then, if The election returns
for Bryan do not tally with their count,
go into the polling places and throw
those fellows in charge of the returns
into the street, Senator Jones adds
some incendiary suggestions of his own.
There is usually trouble enough on
election day without such direct incite-
ment to it as that given by Croker and
Jones. They profess to fear fraud, and
they exhibit a rather suspicious sensi-
tiveness. Probably none Of their own
agents will need watching election day.

FACTS VS.. BRYAN.

Mr.. Bryan is a stubborn candidate,
of the facts against which he throws
himself as recklessly as a football
player bucks the centre" Mr.
Bryan has been busy talking about
trusts, and he will probably continue
to be so busy that he can't find time
to notice some facts which Senator
Frye has set forth for his considera
ton. Senator Frye says: You (Bryan)
had a good deal to say to the people Of
Indiana and to the farmers everywhere
about the Wire Nail trust and the Iron
and Steel trust and the Standard Oil
trust and the Copper trust and the Tin
Plate trust, and asserted that they
were controlling prices of the articles
which the farmer must have. Yet
how is it that If they are all-powerful
there has been a drop in the past year
of iron and steel and wire nails, and
lumber, and leather and tin plates
and glass, and many other articles
manufactured by trusts? You con-
stantly assert that the so-called trusts
have advanced prices of the articles
that farmers buy much more than the
advance in the prices of farm products.
From October l. 1899, to october l,
1900, the prices of many articles large
ly manufactured by so-called trusts
fell greatly, while in the same time
the products of the defenseless farmer
show an advance; corn from 40 cents
to As cents per bushel; hogs, from s4.65
to $3.50 per hundred; cotton, from
7 3-16 cents to 10 rs cents per pound;
wheat, from rs cents to 70 cents per
bushel; barley, from 46 cents to SO
cents per bushel; cottonSeed, from $11
to $17.35 per ton; hay, from II cents to
95 cents per 100 pounds, and hops, from
Is cents to 16 cents.
Mr.. Bryan has been very indiscrim-
mate in his antitrust talk. Many of
the trusts would doubtless like to be
able to do what he says they are do |
ing, but owing to circumstances over
which they have no control they can't |

begun, and now it is estimated that

bitches in that State AS result Col
orado is taking premiums on every
hand for the excellence Of it's varied

eminent aid assert that private capital
has gone about as far as it can go, and
that the demand to make habitable the
vast stretches of sagebrush and cactus
land must be met by irrigation on an
extended scale. Preliminary surveys
have been made by irrigation experts,
and they declare it has been made clear
that by taking hold of the project the
government can bring large portion
of the so-called arid region under cult

TIE LOCUSTS OF THE TREE



TIE LOCUsTS OF THE TREE
COUNTRY.
During the hot still days of August
and eveen during early September
may be heard from the tree tops the
shril cry of the locust" a name APP
piled by the small boys of the tree
country to the cicadas, large hemlp-
ferrous insects found from New Hamp-
shire southwark and westward through
the tree-covered country ae far as
Kansas In the prairie region, often
times ravaged by the grasshopper
plague, the name locust Is properly
applied, and is given TO the so-called
Rocky Mountain locust, which is in
fact a grasshopper.
The locust of the tree country Is
very different creature. He is well
known to the small boy, who, when he
finds one on the ground, looks careful
~ at the markings on the upper sur
face Of the thorax in order to learn
whether during the next year peace or
war will prevail over the earth. If on
the thoraX are markings which look
like the letter w, the knows that the
next year will be one Of wars, and
gravely announces this fact to his
young companions, who, with him,
speculate as to what countries will be
involved. The small boy manufactur-
es from a straight piece Of wood, some
twisted horsehair, the thick glass about
the mouth of a bottle and a bit Of par
chment a musical instrument which he
calls a Locust" and by means of which
sound very much like that produced
by the insect Is made.
Since locusts live chiefly in the tree
tops and are rarely seen except when
dead or dying they are much less well
known than many other insects, and
indeed mos people have very little no.
ton of what the creature is that makes
the loud, long drawn out and droning
sound that comes from this insect in
the late summer. The sound is caused
by peculiar apparatus possessed on
ly by the male locust and situated be-
meath the wings in large cavities at
the base of the abdomen. These are
two large parchment-like sacks, ribbed
and gathered into many plaits and
folds, and when the air is driven with
great force against these plated sur
faces the vibrations caused produce
the loud, penetrting, shrill sound with
which we are all so famiiar.-Forest
