The quaint old English church poet
George Herbert was walking to

Mr.. Herbert pulled off his G..

friends wondered at his coming into
their company so soiled and discom-
posed. He explained the cause, and
when one remarked that he had dis
paraged himself by so dirty an employ
ment he answered that the thought Of
what he had done would prove music to
him at midnight and that the omission
of it would have upbraided and made
discord in his conscience. For if am
bound to pray for all that be in distress
so far as it is in my power am to prac-
tice what I pray for, and, let me tell
you. would not willingly pass one
day of my life without comforting sad
soul or showing mercy, and bless God
for this occasion. These are the places
in which to attune ones conscience to
midnight music. "

REPLY SENT TO MIR. KNOX
Antitrust Men Impugn His Candor and
Challenge Him.

Washington, Aug. 22-H. p. Mar
tin, chairman of the joint committee
of the American Antitrust League
and District Assembly Sc. knights of
Labor. has made reply to the letter of
Attorney General Knox, sent to the
committee yesterday. He says in
part: I'VE We're not aware that there
was any impropriety in a citizen or
body Of citizens publicly addressing
the chief prosecuting officer of the
United States in reference to grave
violations of law that were being COM
mitted to the great injury of the people
Of the United States"
Then, referring to his letter of Tues
day where he says he was formerly
one if its Carnegie company'sl legal
advisers in the conduct of its manufac-
turing business" the reply says: This
language of the attorney general Ger
tainly looks evasive in view of the fact
that it is currently believed that the
members of the steel combine selected
one Of their former attorneys for at
torney general in order that they
might have a friend at court in time
of popular clamOr for the enforce
ment of the law against trusts.
We will give lin an opportunity
now TO reaSsure the people as to his
desire and intention to enforce the law
against trusts. VIII Attorney General
Knox offer a reward for the production
OF the discriminating evidence against
the trusts for which we asked. and
which he says he does not possess?
VIII he announce tomorrow that the
department of Justice of the United
States ATill pay Il substantial reward
to any person or persons who will pro-
duce evidence that will lead to the ar
rest aISi conviction of any person or
corporation guilty Of violating the fed
eral statute against trusts?
Let him do this and institute vigor-
Gus proceedings against trust law
breakers. and the people will no longer
have doubts as to his faithfulness TO
his oath of office aud he will no longer
be the target for criticism. innuendo
and invective on the part of the press
because Of the fact that, while the
trusts ride rough-shod over the people. |
the attorney general. who is the sole
officer under the federal law who is
vested with authority to prosecute |
them, refuses 70 take any action"

KITCHENER MAKES REPORT.

Arms on July 8 Laat.

London, Aug. 22.-In a dispatch
dated July g and detailing the condi-
tion of affairs at the front at that time
Lord Kitchener says: There are nc
more than 1880 Beers now under
arms. Although they are not able
longer TO undertake extensive opera.
tions their apparently ineXhaustible
SUPPLIES of food enable them to main.
tain an obstinate resistance without
retaining anything or defending the
smallest portion of this vast country
The wearing down process is neceS.
sarily slow, rendering the employment
of Il large number of troops still nee,
eSsary. Great patience is still required
to see the inevitable end of an insen.
safe resistance which, while it cannot
affect the result, has become unjusti.

SufferingS of women and children
Since this dispatch was written the
losses of the Beers have brought Their
forces down TO about IL 900.

Pittsburg, Aug. 22.-Developments
in the steel strike this morning are
all favorable to the masters. Early
today the American Tin Plate COM
Pany succeeded in getting about 100
men safely inside the gates of the
Star plants of this city, and prepara-
tion is in progress for starting up two
mills before the close of the day. The
officials claim the entire plant will be
in operation within a week.

plans to bring the great strike to Il

about such crisis in the differences
between the steel corporation and the
Amalgamated Association as Will force
Il settlement. In answer to questions
about the numerous stories going the
rounds OF mediation or arbitration
Shaffer said: I'VE have not heard
from the other side: we have not
placed anything before them, and 1
know of nobody acting for either side
or on any side. We are not hunting
for arbitration. | have told
the other side that personally | would

no change Yesterday. There was no
extension of the strike. and the steel
managers did not attempt to start any
more mills. Late in the day the fires
