.z.s said TO have been in the course
q. --,aration for several days. 1t was
as4 out to-day on the inside and one
- should know, that the Amalgamat-
executives have consented to have
Grain propositions made to the Of
4ts Of the United States Steel Cor,
,s-atlon through members Of the con-
fT.story committee OF the National
eve Federation, which proposals are
sTpa5 ted to bring about settlement of
f. great strike Those interested in
f5a natter were in waiting all day To-
dav for word to proceed with the pro
gralnme as outlined at the conference
~ Amalgamated executives and the
r3ncliiary committees OF the Civic Fed
v-ati0n last Friday. The propositions,
which are to be taken TO New York,
carry certain concessions by the Anal
g4nated officials which It is helped
w.ll pave the way for the reopenfng OF
direct negotiations between the Asso-
cation and the company. The propo-
stion carries much of the terms under
which President Shaffer and his advis-
trs stand willing to settle. What these
terms are and the mode of their pre-
sentation are carefully guarded sec
fets. There Is alone the implication
mat they contain concessions Of such
Importance that those interested ex-
pert une corporation to drop its adverse
attitude and reopen negotiations.
The proposal contains nothing looking
10 arbitration. This mode of settle
ment was waived on the advice of the
Civic Federation men.
While the eonferees We're discussing
peace plans, the Amalgamated men
Eess shown the impracticability Of
sympathetic strikes by the miners and
other organized men affiliated with the
American Federation OF Labor.
The action of President Shaffer in
abrogating the wage contracts with tne
Federal Steel Company covering its
western mills and in other instances
was questioned. Messrs. Mitchell,
White and jerks spoke of the import
ance of strict observance OF WACO
agreements as contracts by the labor
Unions. President Shaffer maintained
his position to the satisfaction Of most
Of the conferees. 1t has been reported
that the conferees disapproved the
move in abrogating the Federal Steel
Company contracts and told President
Shafer so with unmistakable emphasis,
OF this, however, Secretary John Will
aams said to-day that during the con-
ference he had heard no adverse eriti
cism by the Civic Federation conferees
as to the attitude OF President Shaffer

LONDON. August 26.-Although the
French papers hail Turkeys yielding as a
great triumph for France, more especially
as it was largely believed that the Sui
tan's obduracy was due 20 the supposed
friendship between Germany and Turkey,
it is felt IN London. despite considerable
satisfaction over the outcome, that there
Is a grave doubt as to whether France has
achieved more Than a papery victory.
The British theory is that NJ. Constars
really wished to force Turkey to purchase
ouays which are VIGOROUSLY unremuner-
alive. The sultan has avoided this, thus
securing the practical results while lesv-

Vibration.

Vibration 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-
BILE to master them. They have a most
important bearing, however, on the life
of machinery. have known valuable
engines to jar themselves literally to
pieces for no apparent cause. Some
slight error in adjustment had set up a
vibration that was communicated from
part to part. like a contagious disease,
until the whole plant was affected.
"a steady tremor of that kind will
not only wear out the parts, but 1t
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 strange, granulated
appearance, and the worst of it is that
the alteration may be going on for
months without the knowledge of the
most careful engineer alive. That is
the secret of the breaking of great
many propeller shafts at sea.
There are different ways of stop
ping vibrations, and one of the most
curious is to set up a counter tremor in
the opposite direction. One neutralizes
the other."-New Orleans Times-Demo-

"Lock at this handkerchief" said a
young society man to his professional
friend who has an Office in the Porter
building, "That bit of lace and ruffie
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 prac-
teal standpoint it is just as valuable
as 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 am permitted to enter the
house where my sweetheart, lives.
Without it should be torn to pieces by
huge bulldog there. The beast is as
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 menace to my suit

Cautious.

Many years ago, when printed music
was dearer than 1t is now, plain,
quiet man, evidently from the country,
went into a London music shop and
asked to see certain book of tunes.
The clerk laid before him an oblong
volume with two tunes on a page. a
book familiar to old time choir singers.
The old man drew out of his coattail
pocket an ancient yellow fife and. OPP n
ing the book at the first page. began to
play softly, turning the leaf with care
full fingers as each page was finished.
The clerks, very much amused at
first, grew weary of the droning noise
after time, and one of them. waiting
till tune was ended. ventured to say
politely:
do you think you will take the book,
sir? Does it seem TO suit your"
The fife was lowered. and the player,
looking over it at the youth in mild sur
prise, said gently:
81 cannot tell. | have played only
half the tunes" and placidly turned
another leaf.

One of the euriosities of architecture
In England is, according to The Stone
Trades Journal, the house erected
about 300 years ago at Rushton, in
Northamptonshire, by Sir Thomas
Tresham, a Roman Catholic, who
wished by his design to typify the
Trinity.
The house is all threes, has three
sides, three stories and three windows
on each fat, each of them in the shape
Of the trefoil-the three leaved sham
rock. Where the roofs meet rises a
three sided pyramid, terminating in
large trefoil. The smoke escapes from
this chimney by three round holes on
each side of the three sides. The build
Ing Is almost covered with notices and
carvings, three Latin inscriptions, one
on each of the three sides, having SO
letters in each. Three angles on each
side bear shields. Over the door is the
text from the Vulgate, "There are three
that bear record" Inside the house
each corner is cut off from each Of the
three main rooms, so that on every
floor there are three three sided apart

"My child, do be advised" urged one
of these well meaning ladies, calling to

hear of a nice girl marrying beneath

situation long ago and found whole

Cure For Insomnia-

l suppose all of us are suffering from
the invasion of electricity. My old
friend Bounce, who was a victim of in
somnia for 40 years, thinks he sleeps
now better than any other man on
earth. He lost his way in the Adiron-
dacks and staid overnight in the cabin
of forester His sleep was the deep
sleep of just man made perfect, and
in the morning he found that he had
not moved half an inch all night
Its the insulation" the forester in
sisted, You city folks are KILN your
selves with contact. If you'll break
the contact you'll be able to sleep and
get your nerves back"
This matter of contact" was finally
explained TO mean that our bedposts
are in contact with the floors, the
floors with the walls and the walls
with mother earth, so that whatever
personal magnetism man has in him
goes away In the nighttime, leaving
him like log on his mattress. The
forester had obtained four glass insu-
lators from telegraph poles somewhere
and screwed them on the posts of his
guest bed, SO that the electricity could
not run away. Bounce the very day he
got home insulated his bed, and from
that moment to the present his insom-
mia has been banished. = New York

A Great Bawl.

on himself the task of training a cho-
rus in that burg. They were studying
Mendelssohn's Elijah" and had reach
ed the chorus.
Hear lis, Baal; hear us, mighty
godr' the male voices were booming
out generously, when Damrosch cried
out, as is his wont: mo, no! Not that
way. Not that dreadful howl! Don't
say 'B-a-a-l.' Soften little. Give a
more musical sound to the words. Say
'Bawl'"
"Whereupon," he says. 1.-THE Orange
ties took up the strain again:

The preachez Wa. Glad She swore.

The PreacheE Was Glad She SwOre.
The daughter of we'll known clergy
man in Washington had a severe at
tack of scarlet fever when she was 8
years old which resulted in deafness.
Up to that time she had been regular
little chatterbox. doing her infantile
best to carry out the proverbial:
Being a woman. she'll talk foreverl
Upon her recovery her parents were
nearly heartbroken to find that she had
not only lost her hearing, but the pow
er of speech as well. Whether she had
really forgotten how to talk or whether
1t was obstinacy or lack of confidence
they could not determine, but despite
all efforts of the best tutors the child
remained mute.
One day when she was nearly 10
years of age she was playing with a
cat. and with as much cruelty as
though she were of the sterner sex she
used its tail as handle with which to
pick it up. The poor animal, not appre-
ciating the economic use of the afore-
said tail, inflicted deep scratch across
the chubby little hand.
Damn that catw she said, flinging it
down.
And her father, devout clergyman as
he was, clasped his hands and, raising
his eyes to heaven, exclaimed:
"Thank God, that child has spoken at

what the newspapers should do is
to devote less space to describing what
people should wear and more to what
they should eat" remarked the butch
er. "Fashionably dressed women come
in here every day who don't know lamb
from mutton or hen from rooster.
No wonder men have dyspepsia! l find
that men know more about the quality
of food stuffs than women do. Many
of the latter don't even know the few
simple tests that might help them to
distinguish an old fowl from young
one. and about meat they're greener
yet. A young woman came in here the
other day and asked for two pounds of
veal outlets. showed her the loin
proposed to chop the outlets from. and
she remarked, Yes; that's very nice.
