THE JANIToR WAS MISSING.
Mrs. Norton Fails to Deliver 81 Lee
ture on Mrs. Nation.

large number of men and women
gathered at the Union Veteran Legion
Hall, $40 Pennsylvania Avenue, last night,
to hear Mrs, Sarah Frances Norton deliver
her lecture on Mems Rights and Carrie
Nation" But they were disappointed, and
so was Mrs. Norton. When she arrived at
the building about o'clock the colored
janitor, Ieb Henson, who had the key 70
the hall, was not in sight, nor could he be
located. For nearly ar hour Mrs. Nor
ton stood in the hallway and explained to
the men and women who filed up the stairs
every few minutes just how il happened
that the hall was closed. Everyone sym
pathized with her, and the general opinion
was that she had been badly treated.

porter. Il saw the janitor last Friday to
make arrangements for securing the hall

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible n1alady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison raay lay dormant i'll the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance--or swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perrna-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
of it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows:

below the ear on the left side Of my face 1t gave

VOTE AT MILWAUKEE,
Men Follow President Shaffer On
His Strike Order.

Milwaukee, Aug. 1.-THE Bayview
men will strike. The vote on President
Shaffer's order is said to have been
unanimous, after a session OF the lodge
lasting five hours. The plant of the
Illinois Steel Company at Bayview will
be shut down indefinitely and about
400 men will be rendered idle.
When the meeting was called to order
this afternoon it is said that 157 men,
bers OF the lodge out of a total of 219
were present. Assistant Secretary
Michael }. Tighe made long appeal to
the men to obey the mandate Of Presi-
dent Shaffer. Mr.. Tighe was followed by
W. c. Davis OF South Chicago, vice
president of the fourth district, who
spoke on the same lines. President
Joseph Redfern, of the Bayview lodge,
took the negative side and was followed
by others who were not in favor of going
out. The speechmaking occupied five
hours and it was close upon 9 O'Clock
tonight when secret ballot was taken,
the result showing a majority in favor
of strike. When the result was an
nOunced a motion to make the vote
unanimous in favor of obeying the
famous order was carried without q
dissenting voice. The tension through
out the meeting was great.
Leaders of the Amalgamated Associa-
tion now in this city declare that the
action of the Bayview men will have i'm
portant bearing upon the situation.
they claim that South Chicago will
likely be influenced in the same direction.
Taking this view, association leaders
gain encouragement in the war with the
United States Steel corporation.
W. c. Davis, of Chicago, after the
meeting spoke in strong terms of praise
of the action of the lodge. Davis looks
for an immediate change in the situa-
ton at South Chicago when the news
from Bayview comes to the men in his
city. OF the 400 employed at Bayview,
219 belong to the Amalgamated AssOcia-
ton. They are the tonnage men. Be-
sides the union men there were 200 other
skilled men employed, including roll
turner's, engineers, machinists, carpen-
ters, blacksmiths, pipe filters and men
Strengthening plates and working on hot
beds. The engineers and roll turner's
formerly belonged to the Amalgamated
Association and are in sympathy with
it. Employment was given to 1000 un-
skilled men, 200 of whom worked in the
blast furnaces.

Hundred Year CIubs

Are becoming numerous. The idea is to
promote longevity. 1t is Interesting to
note that the means through which long
life is to be obtained, is food and the
stomach. Long life and good health
are not possible unless the stomach does
its work properly. There is a way to
to make it, if it does not. HOstetter's q
Stomach Bitters is an ideal strength re-
storer. Ii you would be cured OF dys-
pepsia, Indigestion, belching, cOnstipa-
ton, insomnia, nervousness, biliousness,

it to help nature rid the blood of all
impurities. 1t possesses valuable cura-
tive properties, and as a specific for
malaria, fever and ague, it is unequaIled.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 18.-A party OF
strike breakers brought up from the
south by special train, were safely
landed in the steel mill at Monessen
early this morning and the United States
Steel corporation expects to add that
plant to the number running partly or
in full with non-union men within the
next "a hours.
The Carnegie properties also resumed
tonight without break in tie forces
operating them, and that fact, Joined
with a promise of an early start at
Monessen, leads the steel officials here to
take very hopeful view of the situation.
The strikers claim that men enough to
start the MOnessen mills can not be OBJ
tanned and that they have not yet
shown their hand at Duquesne and
other Carnegie plants. They promise
that developments will indicate their
strength to better advantage.
There is talk tonight of the posi-
bility of the extension of the strike to
other trades. The structural iron work
ers and bricklayers are becoming directly
interested through the question of han
ding material made by the United

FRANCE And TURKEY
Diplomatic Relations Between
the Countries Broken.
French Ambassador Served the
Notice Upon the Sultan's
First Secretary.

Constantinople, Aug. 21.-The French
ambassador, M. Constans, has notified
the sultan's first secretary that all
diplomatic relations between France and
Turkey are broken off and that the am
bassador has informed his government
to this effect.
M. Constans communicated direct with
the sultan, because the latest negotia
tlons were transacted with the sultan
personally.
The ambassador iustifes his action on
the ground that the sultan broke his
direct personal promise, given to NJ.

minister also gave formal assurances
that the agreement would be carried

tions with Turkey.

petent Men.
Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 14.-There were
victories on both sides of the great steel
strike today, but they furnished no
direct line on the ultimate result of the
conflict. The strikers succeeded in finally
forcing the National Tube works at Nc
keesport, probably the largest indi-
vldual plant in the United States Steel
corporation to close down. On the
other hand the Steel corporation re-
opened the big Painter mill in this city
and also resumed operations with non
union men at the Crescent plant of the
American Tin Plate company at Cleve
land. Two mills were running at the
Painter plant, although one of them
broke down during the day and, accord
ing to the statement of the officials, half
the mills in the Crescent plant were
moved
The forces at both the plants named
are to be increased and the managers
assert they will soon have them working
IN full. They make the fifth and sixth
plants which the Steel corporation has
succeeded in starting with nOn-union
men, the Others being WellsvilIe, HYDE
Park, Clark and Lindsay and Me
CutcheOn.
