Start A Gallery.

Whenever nonunion man
shows up at Rossland now he is
promptly photographed by the
strikers. Then his picture is
scattered broadcast among the
unions over the country and he is a
marked man in whatever camp he
may appear.
The scheme is new one. which
has just been adopted by the
Western Federation of Miners. 1t
was tried first at the strike in Tel
luride, Colo. Some of the union
men who were amateur photo
graphers had the idea of starting a
collection along the line of a
"rogues' gallery" kept by police de-
partments. They photographed
right and left, wherever they found
a man whom they thought was
not friendly to the union.
Some of the pictures thus taken
were sent to the miners union at
Rossland about the time the
trouble was started. The Ross
landers got enthusiastic over the
idea and they have been taking
photographs on a wholesale scale
ever since then. r. M. Beamish,
who is under arrest charged with
intimidation and assault on nom
union man, was the leader in the
move. He has made himself par
ticular prominent through his zeal
in taking pictures of nonunion
men against their wishes. A good
sized collection of these pictures is
preserved at the Union hall in
Rossland.

Ajax Mill Ready Soon.

The Midas Gold Mining company
controlled by Finch & Campbell,
expects to have the 10 stamp mill
on the Ajax in operation in three
weeks. About 30 men will then be
employed on the property in Dixie
camp, Idaho. There is enough ore
blocked out to run the mill for a
year. One shoot 175 feet long,
averaging II feet wide, gives val
ues of $15 to the ton. Sixty per
cent of the values are caught on
the plates. There is a separate
shoot so feet long and 30 inches
wide giving a shipping ore which
runs much higher.

What to Do With the Girls,

The authorities of Patterson, N.
j. have a perplexing problem on
their hands. They have their
labor troubles in New Jersey as
well As elsewhere and many Of
them are complicated with girls
and injunctions. 1t seems that
six girls employed in a silk mill
engaged in strike experiment
and were enjoined by the court
not to speak to the girls who might
be employed in their places. The
injunction not to talk is one that
does not have much weight with
the average girl. The result of
the complication Was six fines that
the girls refused to pay Being in
formed that a refusal to pay a fine
imposed as penalty for disre-
garding an injunction exposed them
to imprisonment, the girls declar-
ed their readiness to go to prison.
The more willing the girls were to
go to prison, the less the willing
ness of the authorities to enforce
the order of the court. Six girls
in prison for having exercised the
privilege of talking to six other
girls was an example of the power
of the courts the authorities did
not like to parade before the pub.
lie. AS New Jersey contempor-
airy remarks: american chivalry
and sense of justice will revolt at
the idea of sending young working
girls to Jail because they exercised
their undoubted right to talk to
other girls who had taken their
places" The readiest solution OF
the problem will be to appeal to
some local Carnegie to pay the
fines of the girls before they be-
come tired of their confinement in
prison.

membership it is not surprising that
the society was able to accomplish
much for the amelioration of those in
whose behalf 1t had been instituted. or
that it has handed down a record of
which Savannah can we'll feel proud.
One of the early poets of the society,
while his effusion may not awaken ad-
n1iration when judged by literary
standards, caught the spirit that guild
ed its laborers and enshrined their
sentiments in crude verses that were
read at the anniversary in 1887.
"The founders of this society
Wisdom their plans had laid;
Benevolence their sole design,
Twas the distressed to aid.
The unlearnt, hopeless orphan youth,
o Write institution!
They took them up and had them
taught
To forward their promotion.
Those who survive remember then,
Their plan improve and cherish,
Never to let the helpless youth
For want OF learning perish"
Under what may be termed the
reorga n zation Of the society william
Stephens probably continued president
until 1890, when he was succeeded by
Noble w. Jones who served until 1892
when Joseph Clay was elected. The
following year Joseph Habersham be-
came president and continued IN
the office until 1895, when he
became Postmaster General OF the
United States aud William Stephens
again assumed the duties for two years.

two years, and in 1899 James P. Young
filed the position, the century closing
with Matthew McAllister at the head
of the society
Monthly meetings were held during
this period, the quarterly meeting being
charac terized by important committee
reports. Being without building of its
own the society appropriated money
yearly as fund for schooling the chill
dren," and a separate amount for their
"quarterage." During the first year of
which any financial reports are avail
able, 1790-91, 81 pounds, 71z pence was
expended for schooling children and
other expenses. The president at this
time, and until the year 1857, acted
also as treasurer. The anniversary
gatherings were at Mr.. Browns coffee
house, where dinner was served to the
members and their guests. The bill for
thirty persons at the anniversary din
ner in 1891, was IA pounds, or about
81 25 a plate, fully equal to a IS BAN
quet Of to-day. At the next anniversary
the price was set at 81, which contin-
ued the standard for some years. Each
member present paid this special tax,
and if member did not attend he was
generally taxed half price for the din
ner he did not eat IN 1908 the ami
versary expenses were put at SO per
member. A unique rule provided a fine
of $40 for any member who should Gin
vite at his house any gentleman on that
day, so as to interfere with the invita-
tons of the society" The Governor
and suite, the judges of the Federal
and State courts, the Mayor and AL
dermen, and strangers of note in the
city were usually the guests on such
occasions. In 1886 oliver Ellsworth,
chief justice of the United States, was
the guest of honor.
The monthly contribution or dues
from a member was originally one shil-
ling. In 1898 this was increased to 1
shilling, pence. The admission fee was
5 pounds, 5 shillings, or the equivalent
of s25 in American money. AS a gem
erai thing the new member paid half
of this in cash and gave his note. bear
ing interest, for the balance. The sons
OF members were admitted at half rate,

the English currency gave way 10 the
American system the admission fee was

Forty-six years after the sale of the
Bethesda property the site of the old
blouse of Mercy" became the, property
of a charitable association whose his
tory almost parallels that of Bethesda
and which to-day, after a century and
q half of useful existence, is in more
prosperous state than at any time in
its career. Before resuming the his
tory of Bethesda it is necessary to
summarize the early history of the
Union Society.
This society, probably the Oldest
charitable organization in America, is
the offspring of a club formed for So
cial and benevolent purposes in 1850,
seventeen years after the founding of
the colony, and ten years after the es-
Enlistment of Bethesda Originally
there were but five members, men
whose hearts had been stirred by the
pitiful state in which the orphan chill
dren of the colony were left and who
