which can be given our movement by
those reform forces which stand for
the betterment of mankind"
While the report advises the con-
sideration Of all questions of political
economy or of q public nature hav-
ing reference to- industrial or polit-
ical liberty in the homes OF laboring
men, in the meetings of their unions,
and through publications in their Of
fetal journals, it concludes with this
significant statement:
1--WE submit that It is not within the pow
er Of this organization to dictate to men,
bers Of our unions to which political party
they shall belong or which party's ticket
they shall vote"
The socialists, in declining to take
up the discussion, explained that the
convention had so much business to
dispose of in the limited time at it's
disposal that they would not seize
the opportunity at this time to show
that socialism could cure the ills of
humanity. The substitute was adopt
ed by large majority.
Samuel Gompers was reelected
president. New Orleans was chosen
as the next place of meeting.

War Tax Reduction.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Chairman
Payne, of the ways and means COM
mittee,~ says that no definite plans
have been made thus far for consid-
ering the question of further reduc-
ing the war taxes. At the same time
there has been much informal discus
sion of the subject, considerable data
have been gathered concerning the
items which can best be reduced, and
there seems to be a general purpose
on the part of the members of the
committee to push this important
question to the front soon after the
holidays. In speaking of the matter
Mr.. Payne said: with surplus of
about s100,Oo0,000 I have no doubt
the ways and means committee will
frame bill reducing the revenues,
probably on the general lines of the
last war tax reduction bill"

The turtles that frequent the coasts
Of Florida have some very strange hab-
it's. The hunter knows that they feed
in brackish streams, where the tide
falls rather low and where the turtle
grass grows in greatest profusion.
The turtles cut great quantities Of this
grass, and then roll it into q ball,
cementing 1t as they roll it with the
clay in which the grass grows, and In
this way, when they have managed to
amass a goodly supply of provisions,
they wait for high tide and float away
seaward, feeding as they float.

The Japanese smoke in very pecu-
liar manner. The pipes have very
small metal bowls, with bamboo stems
and metal mouthpieces, and only hold
enough tobacco for three or four
whiffs. They use a tobacco which is
cut extremely fine and looks moro
like blonde hair than anything else.
It is of a very good quality, however.
The Japs take Whit Of smoke and
inhale it, letting it pass out through
the nostrils. They rarely smoke more
than one pipeful at a time.

Sinrock Mary, the reindeer queen of
Alaska, is one of the most interesting
of native characters in the territory.
Her home is at Sinrock, on the Sin

she is the owner Of the largest herd
Of reindeer now owned by a native of
the territory. This herd now numbers
upward Of 200 head of animals and Is

lage of Painted Post has been under
water and the water is two feet deep
in most of the dwellings. The Erie.
Lackawanna and New York Central
roads all suffered from washouts and
landslides.
Damage at Ithaca.
At Ithaca the damage is estimated at
100000. The food was the most dis
astrous experienced since 1887. The
nearby creeks became raging torrents
by midnight. A dwelling house was
swept away and Sunday no trace of it
could be found. The power and light
ing plant was washed out and two troll
lev cars swallowed up in the flood. All
street car traffic is suspended and the
city is in darkness. Lumber yards and
buildings suffered immensely and the
wreckage, blocking the channel of Six
Mile creek, turned the stream from
its course and the whole lower part of
the city was overflowed. Miles Of the
Lehigh Valley & Lackawanna railroad
tracks were washed away and no trains
reached Ithaca. Several bridges were
washed away. Percy field, at Cornell
university, was turned into lake and
the university power plants were aban-
doned.
At Syracuse, the sudden rising OF
Onon ga creek caused great property
damage and drove several hundred peo-
pie from their homes. The water rose
six feet in eight hours, but is now re-
ceding. Many people were rescued by
police and firemen in boats, and no
lives are known to have been lost. At
Binghamton the rainstorm sent the
Chenango river over its banks and
caused q flood which has not been
equaled for % years. Cellars are food
ed and much damage has been done to
business houses on the river front.
The county farm buildings are sur
rounded by water several feet deep.
At Troy the damage from wind and
rain is estimated at $4,000, and the
electric car service to Troy is sus-
pended.

Considerable damage has been done
throughout nor thern New York by the
extremely high wind which prevailed

Chicago has society for men and
women who subsist entirely upon un-
cooked food. They consider cooked
diet extremely injurious to health and
morals and are pledged to discard It
from their tables for all time. Cook
Ing, they contend, is fad which orig
mated somewhere in the early ages Of
man, and since then humanity, men,
tally, morally and physically has been
steadily on the decline. Fire, they say.

There is practically no dawn in Gu
ba. One has hardly time to notice
that the great white light in the tower
on MORO Castle has died away be-
fore the sun has risen and it is day.
Sunrise is all too short for the glo-
rious coloring of the sky; the effect
of the first rays of the sun lighting up
the grimy walls of the forts and then
passing on to the swarms Of boats in
the harbor, laden with flowers Of ev-
cry color and fruits of every variety
and taste, is one which alone is al
most worth the trip to the island.

Australia has some very curious ami
mails, among them being the moa,
which is about the size of a large
chicken. It has no wings and is COW
cred with hairy-like feathers. It's long
bill is used in hunting for worms in
the mud. Being a bird of the night,
It can see no better than the owl in
the daytime. These birds hide among
the dense ferns, but when pursued
they conceal themselves in holes,
which they dig in the ground for their
nests.

It has been suggested that honey
bees be tried as military messengers
in place of homing pigeons. A bee
could carry good deal of information
If it were transferred by miro-photo-
graphy to q minute piece of paper
fastened to the insects back. Carrier
pigeons are often intercepted and
killed by the enemy, but it would be
difficult to do this in the case Of bees.
The homing instinct of bee Is as
strong as that of q pigeon.

also find use for India rubber, and

ally cut the bark of trees that produce

FOR TRADE ALLIANCES.
Federation of Labor Committee Fa-
vors q Close Union Of SUBJ
divided Crafts.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 16.-Two sur
prises developed in Saturdays SEES
sion of the American Federation OF
Labor convention. The first was the
report of the special committee which
had the question of trade autonomy,
or organization along industrial
lines, in it's keeping; the other was
the ease with which the socialists
bowed to the inevitable. The COM
mittee on trade autonomy recon-
mended:
''Where there are only few craftsmen
In q large industrial concern, the pest IN
terests of all would be conserved by the
few Joining the paramount organization.
1--WE hold that the interests OF the TRADE
union movement will he promoted by close
ly allying the subdivided craft, giving con-
stderation to amalgamation and to the or
ganizatlon Of district and national trace
councils, to which should be referred Ques-
lions In dispute and which should be ao-
justed within allied craft lines.
1.-THE American Federation of Labor, oe-
ing a voluntary association. cannot direct
and should not adopt methods antagonistic
to or in conflict with established trade
union laws and in order to carry the above
recommendations into effect, and IN 1uil
recognition Of its logical position. the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor pledges Its Of
flcers to aid and assist In the adjustment
Of such craft encroachments as dtsputants
may be willing to submit to its arbitra-
ment."
The failure of the socialist dele
gates to attack the substitute for IL
socialistic resolutions was the second
surprise. The report stated that 1.-THE
aims, desires and aspirations OF
trades unionists comprised all that
is necessary or possible to the well
being of the human family, and in the

Scene at the Wreck.
The trains met in slight bend in
the track, both running at full speed.
The smoking, express and baggage
cars were piled on the locomotives,
penning in the occupants of the
smoker. Only three of the half dozen
in that car escaped. The others were
penned in and if not instantly killed
were roasted to death and their bodies,
along with those of the engine crews,
were entirely consumed. All efforts of
the survivors to reach the victims were
unavailing. The flames drove the
back at every point. The temperature
was 20 degrees below zero and an icy
wind was blowing across the prairie,
the point where the wreck occurred be-
ing in a shallow cut, affording no pro-
lection. The injured were without
hats and wraps and suffered terribly.
BY the united efforts of the survivors
the way car was pushed back from the
wreckage to escape the flames and the
wounded were placed on the hunks in
side.
Relief Work.
Two hours elapsed before any relief
was at hand. Then an engine arrived
from the east and pulled the way car
to- Irene, three miles distant. A relief
train was started from Rockford at
1880 a. m, having on board Drs. S. r.
Catlin, Henry Richings, w. B. Helm
=. :7sent E. w. Brown. It arrived
at the scene of the wreck 20 minutes
later. In the meantime the injure d
had been brought back from Irene in
tN way car and were transferred to
'/he relief train and brought to Rock
ford. All the injured are doing well
except H. G. Wellman, of Chicago, who
is in a critical condition.
Wrecking trains have the tracks
clear. Six bodies were recovered from
the debris, but were charred beyond
recognition.

f Another bird, believed to have be-
come extinct, is the California condor.
twice as large as the condor of the
Andes. Its length was five feet,
weight twenty-five pounds and spread
of wings twelve feet. An egg Of this

none has been found for II years.
Eggs of the golden eagle sell in San
