Mary, Queen Of Scots.

The sovereign families of Europe,

one vast family, closely bound by ties
Of blood and innumerable intermar-

ter when it is stated tnat every

moment is descended from Mary
Queen Of SCOTS, with the exception of
the King of Sweden (who is the de-
sCendant Of Bernadotte, one of Ma
poleon's chessmen), the King Of Ser
via (who was recently but a peasant)
and the Princes Of Monaco and Mon
tenegro. Common origins could be
found further back than Mary, while
some monarchs, like the German EN-
peror and the Car of Russia might
be descended differently by the male
line. There has been no room to show
that the King Of Roumania claims
Mary as his ancestor Mary Queen Of

The Salt Lake Herald has the

Citizens of Salt Lake are gently
admonished to shake the moth balls

relieve the visitors of extra weight.

Nothing calculated to add to the

supply is short, as it usually Is at
this season of the year, but ah5 man

heard to kick on such an insignia

There are many other advantages,
in addition to the water shortage,
that will commend themselves to
the visitors. Along our irrigating
bitches they will find real mint
grown by beneficent Providence.
No Kentuckian is asked to believe
that such wondrously favored land

Prosecuted
and |NSULTED
st. Bernard Coal Company Offic-
iaIs Arrested at Tradewater
Mines.
FOLLOWED BY A HOwLlNG MOB
In stursis = Their Lives We're
Threatened.

Two darlington gentlemen, Mr..
B. w. Robinson. manager, and
Mr.. Frank B. Arnold, bookkeeper
of the St. Bernard Coal Company,
went to Sturgis in Union county,
Monday, to purchase an engine
for the st. Bernard mines.
In company with President
Frankel, of the Tradewater Com
pany, they went to the mines to
inspect the engine. While ex-
amining it they were approached
by crowd Of union miners,
headed by an officer, who had
warrants for both men and arrest
ed and searched them. On the
person of Manager Robinson a
revolver was found, Mr.. Arnold
having nothing more dangerous
than an ordinary pocket knife.
1t is needless to say that
Messrs. Arnold and Robinson
were dumbfounded and aston
ished at the action of the officer.
President Frankel saw this was
a ruse of the union miners and
that they were in an ugly mood,
and did all he could to quiet
them.
Messrs. Robinson and Arnold
told the officer they could give
bond, and were carried before a
magistrate, who fixed the bond
at 5000, which they readily gave,
with President Frankel and Will
liam Vanes0n, both of the Trade
water Company, as security.
After they were released, how
ever, they were followed around
the town by a hooting, jeering
mob and grossly insulted and
threatened. rt
Neither of the two gentlemen
knew what charge the warrant
embodied, as 1t simply read ''mis-
demeanor.
The mob of blood thirsty hood
lums followed them to the train
and again offered violence and
threatened them as the train
pulled out. Matters were serious
several times during their short
stay, and word or blow would
have caused trouble.
That this disgraceful state of
affairs is allowed to exist in an
enlightened community is an
eternal disgrace to Union county.
That two men, who we all know
to be quiet, peaceable, unassum-
ing gentlemen can't go in an ad-
joining county on a three hours
business trip, without being
grossly insulted and their lives
ieopardized, is a piece of gross
Injustice and shows a mean spirit
of revenge.
If the U. NJ. w. continues to
flourish in Union county, it will
soon be necessary for the citizens
of Hopkins and other counties to
secure a passport from the mid
night assassins before crossing
the county line. We wish to
impress on the minds of that dis
reputable mob, who uselessly in
suited our friends, that every
good citizen of Hopkins county
condemns the outrage, and the
citizens of darlington are exceed
ingly bitter in their denunciations
of the men who mistreated two
of her best citizens.

Striking to MonopoIize Labor.

(From the New York Evening Post.)
Whatever doubts there may
have been about the real issue in
the steel strike, they are all swept
The bee., 1901-08-15

away by President Shaffer's strike
order, which the Evening Post
was able to announce last even
ing in advance of IFS contempo-
raries. The aim of the Amalga-
mated Association is now per-
fectly clear. 1t would monopo-
lize the labor of the iron and
steel industry of this country.
On the one hand, it would turn
to non-union workers, and say to
them, "You shall have no en-
ployment without an Amalga-
mated card" On the other, it
would face the employers and
say to them, "You shall hire no
man not approved by u.s." Say
what you will of the Steel Cor
poration-call it a threatening
combination and a hateful mo-
nopoly; it is not so dangerous as
this one which the steel-workers'
union is trying to make strong
and tyrannous.
"We don't want to quarrel
with you, but we know how to
manage the mills better than the
masters do, and we mean to do
it." So said the English labor
leaders to Mr.. j. M. Maclean, late
member of Parliament for Old
ham and Cardiff. 1t was a labor
constituency, and he eventually
lost his seat for refusing to vote
in the Commons as the trades
unions dictated. Secretly con-
graduated by a Radical for his
courage, Mr.. Maclean said that
he had only ventured to main
tain in the Commons that even
property still had some rights in
Great Britain. "Ah," rejoined
the Radical, "that is a thing you
may think, but you mustn't say
it in these days" In these two
quotations lies the kernel of the
whole controversy between the
Steel Corporation and the Anal
gamated Association. The men
mean to take the management
of the mills out of the hands of
the owners. That is what Mr..
Shaffer has in mind when he de-
clares that the strike is due to
the refusal to recognize as union
men those who are now striving
for the right to organize" Ii
they are not yet organized, they
cannot be union men-but let
that pass. The position of the
directors of the Steel Corpora
tion is that they must protect a
vast capital, and that they might
as well shut up their mills and
let their securities become unsal
able as to place their property
at the mercy of either Labor
leaders or politicians.
There has been much public
wonder over the bringing ON of
this gigantic struggle when the
points of difference appeared SO
trivial. On its face, the dispute
was simply whether three or four
mills, out of scores, should be
unionized or not. Why sholuld
a great labor union be ready to
run such frightful risks for SO
slight a gain? Why, on the
other hand, should a huge cor
poration, with immensely ex-
tended and highly vulnerable in
terests, make a stand on so minor
a matters? You might as well
ask why a General should bring
on a bloody battle and imperil
his whole army, merely to hold
an Insignificant hill. If the hill
is the key to the position, if it is
a Little Round Top or an Arapil
Grande, and its occupation by
the enemy would mean destruc-
tion to Meade or Wellington, he
is justified in fighting for its pO-
session with his last man and
gun. The public may have been
mystifed but the Amalgamated
officials have not been. They
knew what they were working

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY
Ida Humphrey, a Seven.Year.old Child.
is Shot and Instantly Killed
at Madisonvlle.
Dan Harris, the Murderer, Succeeded in
Making His Escape but was
Caught and put in Jail.

Another outrage was perpe-
trated on the people of Madison
vile Saturday evening about
dark. Little Ida Humphrey, the
seven-year-old daughter of Alon-
20 Humphrey, while playing on
the roadside near her fathers
house, one mile north of Madi-
sonville, was shot and killed by
by Dan Harris. a dlsreputable
scoundrel, who with two more
companions, was going home in
an intoxicated condition from
the fair. Harris with his COM
panions, Watt Madison, and
Henry Carneal, were riding along
the road and were in fifty yards
of where several children were
playing when Harris drew his
revolver, exclaiming, "Watch
me scatter those children" reck-
lessly fired, two shot some of them
taking effect in the left side of
the little girl who fell to the
ground, screaming in agony, and
expired in a few minutes. The
cries of the dyingchild must have
caused the drunken brute to real
ize the hideousness of his crime
and the horror of the situation,
and putting spurs to his horse
he hurried away followed by his
companions who made no effort
whatever to assist the little one
whose life blood was fast ebbing
away.
The parents and friends Of the
child hurried to the spot only to
find the child a corpse. The
authorities were at once notified
of the crime and after some diff
Guilty the names of the party
were learned. The three men
went to their homes and were
arrested their during the night
and brought to Madisonville
Sunday morning. Harris was in
bed asleep and at frst disclaimed
all knowledge of the sad affair.
Later he admitted that he
thonght he had shot a dog.
Madison and Carneal disclaim
any connection with the affair
and vehemently protest they hsd
no pistols and knew nothing o1
what Harris was doing as he was
riding some distance in advanct
of them. They were released OIL
bail while Harris was locked VI
to await the result of a prelimi
mary trial.
When news of the tragedy
spread ever the community pub.

but the prisoner waived trial and

but failing to give this he
passed through here Monday
evening in charge of an officer
who was taking him to Hopkins

Thus another crime is added
to the long list directly charge
able to the saloons, and another
innocent young life is snuffed
out without a moments warning.
Truly, the liquor traffice paves
the streets of that city with the
hearts of her citizens and ce-
