ANOTHER VICTORY
FOR IRON WORKERS
McClintio- Marshall Construction
Companv Signs the Agree
ment tor Eight-hour Day.

Philadelphia, June 29.-Another big vic.
tory for unlouIsm mas been scored W the
Structural Iron Workers Union through
the signature to the agreement by the
McClintic- Marshall Construction Com
pany. This is the largest construction
company in this section Of the country,
and it has thousands Of tons Of iron to
erect and now under contract In future,
at least US long as the agreement lasts,
only union men will be employed by the
company aud then at Union rates ana
hours. The agreement was signed a
day or two ago by w. NJ. Sterrett, man
ager of the Pottstown works, which con-
trolls the work in this section of the coun-
try.
At present the McClintic-Marshall
Company has contracts under way for
structures at the New York Shipbuild-
ing Company's yards in Camden; about
5000 tons Of ironwork at Midvale Steel
Works: a big building at League Island,
and some big work not yet started just
below Camden. Under the agreement
with the union the work at the New York
Shipbuildng Company's yards will not
be interfered with, that clause having
been inserted. No union men will be al
lowed there, however, except under union
terms, The contract for that work was
taken by the Company under what are
known as the Pittsburg rules which per-
nit nine hours work day.
All the big construction companies now
working in this district have signed the
eight hour day demand made by the
Structural Ironworkers' Union. and most
of the contractors of lesser Importance
in this line have also made agreements.
With the American Bridge Company, the
first of the very large contra actors to sign
the agreement, the McClintic- Marshall
Company and one Or two Others who
have also signed. the union now controls
the situation. Non-union men find 1t
more than difficult to secure work, ana
even harder to keep job after once get
ting it. No good mechanic will willing
ly work for less than his fellow, conse-
uuently the Con-union men have hocked
into the unioL in vast numbers.
In return flr the concessions made by
employers WHO have granted the de-
>thbkU llnuuuAS,rt.z .zot ....tZOs. cap
mands the uniLn furnishes only men who
are capable mechanics. No applicant is
admitted to membership until after he
has passed rigid examination before
committee ana demonstrated to them
that he knows his business thoroughly
and can he depended on to.do any class
of work he may be called upon to per-
form. Among the things candidates are
.req,lired to know are how to tie varions
kinds of safety knots. how to rig block
and fall properly. and various other
things that throw safeguards around fel-
low-workmen. This is done for protcc-
ton Of union men working on the same
job who do not care to place their lives
at the mercy of inexperienced men while
employed on the top Of skyscraper
Twelve new members were taken in the
union last night, having passed the re-
quired examination.
In addition to signing the Structural
Ironworkers' agreement, the McClintic-
Marshall Company has agreed to employ
only union carpenters and painters.

FEW WORE HATS IN CHURCH.
Suggestion of Pastor Of Union NJ. E.
Church Acted Upon.

1t was noticed that few women among
the members that attended the evening
service at Union NJ. u. Church yester-
day wore hats. This was due probably
to remarks which the pastor the Rev.
II. II. Adams made on the previous Sun
|day.
Mr.. Adams did not condemn the prac-
tice of women wearing hats in church
but suggested that it might be more COM
Portable to leave them off. From ap.
pearances last night it looked as though
many of the members of the congregation
agreed with the pastors view on the mat

OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON FRIDAY EVENING JULY 2e 1901

Scarcely twenty persons witnessed
the performance. Among those who
did there was no doubt that NJ. Santos
Dumont demonstrated that The diff.
culles of aerial navigation have been
conquered finally.
The conditions of the test allow the
landing to take place wherever the
aeronart may choose, after the course
has been covered.
Santos-Dumont, after completing
the course, was seen maneuverine
over Park Rothschild, Long Champs
apparently preparing to land. This
1t Is found, was caused by the airship's
machinery becoming unmanageable.
Santos-Dumont finally cut the bag oil
the balloon and the ship fell among
the trees Of the park. Dumont was
not injured.
The announcement that NJ. Santos.
Dumont has been awarded the 500, 0,000
prize for bringing his airship around
the Eiflel tower was premature. The
club now says that another trial is
necessary, owing to the difficulty he
had after finishing the course and his
failing to keep in the time limit.

HOT WEATHER HINTS,

Farina served cold with cream is an
excellent summer breakfast dish. II
is less heating than oatmeal and often
more tempting.
The pain resulting from the sting
ola bee may be instantly relieved by
applying small piece of raw onion
to the affected part.
Persons who are troubled with prick
ly heat will experience great relief if
the parts affected are busted over three
or four times day with common rye
-four.
To remove sunburn wash the face at
night with either sour milk or butter
milk and in the morning with weak
bran tea to which a little cologne has
been added.
A glass OF milk to which has been
added raw egg beaten light. a little
sugar and grated nutmeg will relieve
the physical exhaustion so often ex-
perenced in warm weather.
Tan may be removed from the face
and hands by mixing magnesia in soft
water to the consistency of paste,
which should then be spread on and
allowed to remain for minute or two
then wash off with CASTLE soap suds
and rinse in soft water.
Here are II few simple rules which
should be kept in mind with regard to
sea bathing: A strong and vigorous
person may bathe early in the MORN
ing before breakfast, but young child
rem and adults who are not strong
should not bathe until at least two
hours after eating. Avoid bathing
when cooling off after perspiring freely.
Leave the water Immediately if the
slightest feeling of chilliness is OBJ.
served. Persons whose heads and feet
have feeling of numbness after being
in the water a short time should not
bathe in the open air. Do not bathe
when tired.

A FORTUNE WAITING
For the Man Who Devises Good Substitute
for Leather.

for Leather
A fortune awaits the man who will
invent a good substitute for leather
Nobody has yet succeeded in approach.
ing it, unless it be an inventor who
has just patented fabric which he
proposes to use, in particular, as a
material for the inner soles OF shoes
and boots, though it may be employed
for other purposes. 1t strongly re-
sembles what is known as "split" sole
leather, but is much cheaper and
claims to be superior, being water
proof, as we'll as stronger.
The manufacturer of this imitation
leather uses the fine sole leather dust
given off by the bufiling rolls used
upon sole leather. Hitherto this dust
has been waste product, but the new
invention combines it with gum and
employs it in this shape to form a
coating on one or both sides of canvas
or other similar fabric. As it dries, a
sprinkling of dry leather-dust is add
ed, and the fabric thus treated is
passed between rollers, so as to cause
the leather-dust to be firmly imbedded
in the fabric and combined with it.
The result is a material that looks
much like leather and is very durable

AS TRUE AS GOSPEL.

1t is worth more to the world for
man to live right than die happy.
When caught in falsehood, don't
assume a look of injured innocence
and tell more lies to hold you up.
The artist is true creator. He
can embody the noblest aspirations of
his mind, and give them a reality and
name.
Surely terror is provided for suffi-
ciently in this life of ours, if only the
dread could be directed toward the
really dreadful.
Judge man by his actions, poet
by his eye, an idler by his fingers, a
lawyer by his leer, player by his
strut, a boxer by his sinews.
The universal self-delusion is this ::
When man has good thought, he
fancies he has become what he thinks
for the moment. Good thoughts are
very good; but unaccompanied by the
difficult processes of character, they
are often no better than soap bubbles.
What is it that gives to all beauty
animate or inanimate, tinge of mel
ancholy? The greater the beauty, the
deeper the tinge. Is it an instinct of
mortality, the bright must fade" of
the poet? A shadowy regret for Dives,
who, no more than Lazarus, can secure
enjoyment even for day? Or is it
a vague yearning for something more
perfect still; longing of the soul for
the unattsinable, which. more than
all the philosophy in the universe
urges the necessity OF a future state.
1t is great mistake not to enjoy
and make good use of common things.
Most likely you cannot command the
best that life has to give, but you can,
at least, get near to it by improving
whatever comes in your way. Happi-
ness depends very little upon the vast.
ness of ones possessions, but it does
very much upon spirit of content.
ment which, coupled with willingness
and ability, enables man to get all
the good possible out of his lot. Ex-
travagance is one Of the many results
of despising common things, and, if
you value peace of mind and self-re-
spect, steer clear of it. Life is chiefly
made up of common things which
few, If any, can afford to treat with
contempt. To do so is folly; but to
use them honestly and to the best ad-
vantage is wisdom.

DEATH OF CAPT. j. C.. MOVES.
Accidental Death Of an Old Settler, Who was
Long Active in Affairs of Puget Sound.

a shocking accident occurred last
Friday evening two miles north o
Mount Vernon. whereby Capt. G. J
Noyes, an old Puget Sound settler, LOST
his life, while crossing the Skagit river
on the county ferry. When about
two-thrds OF the way across the river
one of the ropes broke, swinging the
ferry with full force against the
stream, the drum on the ferry revolv'
ing at great speed. and the crank
caught Capt. Noyes, whirling him
round twice and dashing him to the
deck, breaking his right leg and ter
ribly mangling his body.
DIR. Lewis, who was near, hastened
to his assistance, and he was conveyed
to his home. Everything possible wa:
done to alleviate his sufierings, and he
passed away at noon Saturday.
Capt. e. J. Noyes was born in Ma
chias, Me-, in 1927, and lacked bu,
ono week OF being "a years old at the
time of his death. He came to Puget
Sound in 1856 and settled at PORT
Gamble, where he became foreman o
the Port Gamble mill and was with
that company for twenty years, leav
ing them to go to the Port Discovery
Mill Company, where for three years
he was captain of the old tug Mastic
Again he entered the service OF the
Port Gamble Mill Company, and fol
ten years he was superintendent of the
company's mill at Utsalady, leaving
there to engage in the mercantile
business at Mount Vernon, where he
resided until his death.
In lS6O-6l Capt. Noyes was a mem.
Der OF the lower House OF the Terrific.
rial Legislature, and in 1862 was a
a member of the Legislative Council.
He leaves a wife, and his children
are Mrs. Capt. w. Cove, of Port Town
send; Charles B. Noyes, of Seattle
Mrs. A. r. Kenneth, OF Coupeville
F. A. Noyes, of Everett; Mrs. Virginia
L. Lucas. of Seattle, and Mrs. Grace
Noyes, of Mount Vernon. His funeral
was in charge of the Masons, of which
order he was member, and the rites
were held Sunday afternoon.

ELECTRICITY IN AMERICA.
Wonderful Development Of transportation and
Communication.

Communication.
In 1900 Galvani and Volta had
sowed the seed, and since has sprung
up the whole science and art OF elec-
trical physics. Tep years ago we had
about 700 miles of electric railway ;
to-day about $1,000 miles are in oper-
alton in the United States alone; q
thousand millions Of dollars are in.
vested in the stock, and an army of
100000 men is employed by them,
mainly in the great cities, but with
steady growth toward all sections and
into all aggregations OF population.
Two thousand millions of dollars are
reported to be now invested in appa.
ratus of electrical distributions of en-.
crgy, converted ultimately into light
and power. About two-thirds of bill.
lion of dollars are invested in the
property of the electric light compa-
nies. We have between one and two
million miles OF telephone wire, and
can talk from Boston to Chicago from
Chicago to San Francisco will soon he
found an easy conversational distance.
The Bell company alone owns a mil
lion miles of wire, million and half
instruments. and receives $1,000, 600 a
year from its business. The world,
outside the United States, utilizcs not
quite as much capital in this most
wonderful of the inventions of the
century as does our own country, hav-
ing about half-million exchanges to
our 6OO,0 900 and over on the Bell sys-
tenn alone.

When you are on the right track do
not let any failures dim your vision or
discourage you, for you cannot tell
how close you may be to victory.
Have patience and stick, stick, stick
at it, in spite OF every hindrance. A
Chinese student became so discouraged
by repeated failures that he threw his
book away in despair. While in this
despondent mood he saw a poor we-
man rubbing an iron rod on stone
to make a needle. Struck by the
wonderful patience of the woman, he
went back to his studies with new
determination and became one Of the
greatest scholars in China.
