HANNA AND LABOR.

Hon. NJ. A. Hanna says: II be-
lieve l was the first man in the
State of Ohio who recognized or
ganized labor officially. In 1871
John James, president of the first
BitumiRous miners organization in
the United States. came TO my coal
Office and told me of the objects of
his organization. He asked that the
operators organize. That was my
first experience with a trnst.- and
was asked to help organize the coal
operators.
Il was always in favor OF settling
the differences between labor and
capital by arbitration, so organized
that association, and in all the years
it held together there was not a
strike. That experience taught me
to appreciate the leading spirits in
the labor organization. and TO learn
that all such differences could be
amicably adjusted with such fair
minded men as the guiding spirits
of these organizations"

1898. Some of the leading indus
tries show much larger increases,
for example, carpetings, nearly -

Comm ExpansIo...

A train Of 10 cars loaded with 1000
tons of steel rails left Youngstown,
o., on the 9th inst. The rails are
bound for New Zealand, and will be
transhipped at New York.
The train bears a sign; "One thou

The train went over the Lake Shore

Bryan doctrine that commercial ex-

and that workmen are slaves.

The Irish Hedge School,

The educational structure for which,
taking advantage Of the liberation OF
government, the hedge schoolmaster
abandoned his al fresco establishment.
was a very humble one Of its kind.
The peasantry, animated by the strong
Irish love Of learning, built it for him,
just as in modern days they assemble
and build huts for evicted tenants.
II was not a very formidable under
taking. A deep. dry ditch or trench by
the roadside was usually selected for
the site. At the side Of the trench an
excavation of the requisite area was
dug, so that the clay bank formed three
sides Of the Enclosure. This saved the
trouble of building walls. Then the
fourth side, or front side wall, with a
door and two windows. was built of
green sols laid in courses. while SIM
liar sods raised the back to the requir-
ed height and pointed the gable ends.
Young trees and wattles cut from the
nearest wood and bound together with
straw ropes and withes formed the
roof timbers. Over these were spread
brambles, then came a layer of
"scraws," or slabs Of healthy log sur
face, and over all a matching of rush.

Charmed the Beast.

Look at this handkerchief said q
young society man to his professional
friend who has al office in the Porter
building. "T!aat bit Of lace and rufle
is worth its weight in gold to me-"
"Some' connection with old ~associa-
tions-a mere sentiment, l suppose"
suggested the professional man.
Nothing of the kind. From a prac-
teal standpoint it is just as valuable
as l describe it to be. A sentiment en-
tiers into the case, however"
"'Well tell us about it."
"The handkerchief, then, is the token
by which I am permitted to enter the
house where my sweetheart lives.
Without it l should be torn to pieces by
a huge bulldog there. The beast is Us
ferocious as a tiger. During the day
he is kept in chains, but after Z o'clock
in the evening his mistress releases
him in the yard. No stranger after
that hour can enter the gate. The ter
rible animal was q menace to my suit
until the lady hit upon the plan of Civ
ing me her handkerchief for use as a
pass. Now when the dog PUSHES to.
ward me I have only to toss the dainty
token to him. He smells it and walks
peacefully back to his kennel. Do you
blame me for valuing it so highly?"-

'svibration is the great bugbear Of
this business" said one of the best In
formed stationary engineers in New
Orleans. 1T Is governed by fixed
laws. Of course, but they are SO subtle
and intricate that 1t Is next to impossi-
bic to master them. They have a most
important bearing, however, on the life
Of machinery. I have known valuable
engines to jar themselves literally to
pieces for no apparent cause. Some
slight error in adjustment had set up q
vibration that was communicated from
part to part. like a contagious disease,
until the whole plant was affected.
IA steady tremor of that kind will
not only wear out the parts, but II
causes what we call structural
changes in the metal itself. Wrought
steel will gradually lose its toughness
and elasticity and become as brittle as
cast iron. When 1t is fractured, the in
terror will have a strange, granulated
appearance, and the worst Of it is that
the alteration may he going on fol

Dickinson's remarkable showing is
due to the development of the western

In the valley Fargo looms up over the
other towns in good shape, and leads
Grand Forks in percentage by 60 to 50.
jamestown is the most disappointing
of all.
None of the cities in the 1000 class ex-

kept pace with the average growth Of
the state which has been 74.6 per cent.
Of course many of the smaller towns,
especially in the western part OF the state
have grown much more rapidly.

"Pshaw, you fellows don't know what

the crowd eagerly.
"Why, l struck him squarely in the

Dangerous Factories;

Not far from the heart of New York
city is a factory for the manufacture Of
deadly poisons in quantities large
enough to %annihilate the entire popula-
ton Of New York. The factory is so
guarded that ven it's next door neigh
bors need have no fear of it, but the
possibilities stored there excite the i'm
agination. No one may enter it with
out a special permit. The employees
are all skilled men, we'll aware of the
danger of the slightest carelessness.
They manufacture, among other things,
pure anhydrous acid, which is so dan
gerous that in its pure state it is not
placed in the market. There is instant
death in its fumes if they are permitted
to escape. Nitric acid is stored in an
other part Of the factory in big glass
carboys. The men who work in this
factory realize that a broken carboy Of
nitric acid would mean q disaster, and
they treat it with the respect which it
deserves. This factory and others like
it are guarded more carefully than a
safety deposit vault.-New York Sun.

which Is very commodious for drawing
