these things. and more.
In political revolutions and social

excepting the United States was i'm

In the domain of science. as Sir
Norman Lockyer remarks. it is the
century that has entirely changed,
and for the better, the conditions OF
human life" II has given us the
steam-englne. the steam railroad, the
steamship, the telegraph, the ocea;:
cable, the st0rm-signal service. the
geological map, the sewing machine.
the reaping and threshing machines,
the printing press, the typewriter,
stenography, photography, the tele.
phone, the oil lamp, the gas jet. the are
light, the electric power house dra W
ing its herculean strength from wat
erfalls hundreds of miles away. the
Roentgen y rays, the giant telescopes
and a host of subsidiary applications
of these notable inventions
Considered as a century of discovery
1t has given us the great biologlc reve-
iation of Darwin. shedding more light
on the origin of life, human and ami
nal, than all the previous centuries
combined. In medicine, as Professor
Mazzoni says, it has worked mira.

The name of Jenner, Pasteur, Lister

remarks. "the greatest boons con.

of antiseptic methods of wound trent

Sargent, grand chief of the Broth

who is in the city said this morn
ing: II think President Shafer
has receded from his original posi-
ton, and Morgan can now afford
to close the strike"
Henry White, general secretary
of the Garment Workers of Amer
lea, said: President Shatfer has
modified his demands and made
some concessions. The executive
officers of the Amalgamated As
sociation regard Morgan as fair
minded man, but they think lightly
of the other officers of steel cor
poration. AS soon as word is re-
ceived from the corporation Prot
jerks, John Mitchell and Presi-
dent Gompers will meet and try
to bring about peace"
When Mr.. Shaffer was asked this
morning if he plated in
cooperating the AmaIgamated As
sociation, he said, II don't know
of any law in this state or any
other which will allow the incor-
poration of labor union"

The announcement flashed over the

heart-breaking, and the whole commu-

a few days before, she had departed
not in health, it is true, but with no
premouition of the end-to visit her
brother in Texas. 1t was hoped that
the balmier air of the South would re-
build her wasted energies and restore
the wonted bloom to her cheek. Vain

which must comfort the weary plodder

and give him courage to the end.

the wounds of to-day, when soothing
to her heart and grateful to her soul
will be the incense of friendly sympa-

bear her burden, and her friends can
only pray her strength to bear it.
The remains of the deceased were
accompanied by her brother and his
wife and mother-in-law from Alvarado
