PRESIDENT OF AMALGAMATED
SOCIETY HOPEFUL.
new INFLUENCES AT WORK
Likelihood That Matter In Contro-
versy Will Be Left To
Arbitration.

Pittsburg, April 1.-THE chances of
a strike of all the men of the Anal
gamated association employed in the
organized mills of the American Sheet
Steel company and subsequently Of all
the organized men of the association
mills of the United States Steel cor
poration trembles in the balance to-
night. On the n hand, President
T. j. Shaffer is backed up in his deter
mination to call a general strike by
a majority of the members of his ad.
visory board and the district vice.
president and trustees. who were in
session all day today. On the other
hand there is a new move toward con-
Citation and arbitration, which may
end the entire controversy in Pitts
burg tomorrow, or may be carried to
New York to be adjusted by higher
powers.
President T. J. Shaffer said tonight
that the outlook for a settlement was
better than at any time since the Nc.
Keesport trouble started. He refused
to explain this statement.
G.. Watson French, v~icepresident of
the Republic Iron and Steel company,
visited the Amalgamated headquar-
tiers today in relation to matters per-
tanning to some of his own mills. He
became interested in the issue against
the Shett Steel company and volun-
teered to do all in his power t. avert
a strike.
He talked to the advisory board for
an hour, advising Cancellation and ar
bitration. Later, it is understood Mr..
Shaffer hear from Colonel French at
his home in relation to some action
he had taken. When the Amalgamat-
ed president was asked TO tell the ma
ture of Colonel French's message he
declareu that he had nothing to say,
nor would he deny that he had re-
ceived such "a message.
The session of the Amalgamated
executives today took no action on
the presidents proposed resolution
giving him power to call out the men
of the Sheet Metal company and sub
sequently, as he sees fit, all the men
of the new Morgan company. This
is accounted for by the absence of
Vice-President John F. Ward, of Miles,
and John Chappell, of New Castle,
Pa. The meeting adjourned until to-
morrow morning, when these officials
will be present.

The Ghost of the AIoho.
BY C. P. GREENLEY.

Copyright. 1901. by Daily Story Pub. Coz
The scorching summer had passed.
and the October winds shrilled over
the wastes of brown sage grass,
where the prairie chickens futtered
from every knoll, and the sharp, in
sistant
Bob White" "Peas ripe?" mot
quite" rang to and fro on the nipping
frost-laden air.
There was a vague hint of uneasi-
ness among the men and cattle. Twice,
there had been a barely averted STAN
pede, and the cause-there lay the crux
of the matter
You have heard, how in the first
days of the Alaho, it was owned by an
Englishman who set his traditions at
naught, and took to wife the daugh-
ter of Jose, the Mexican, whose ranch
lay to the south, touching the Alaho
for miles? Then you have also heard
the tale of the glass-eyed broncho, who
galloped from the Red death, straight
into the cyclones heart?
Many years have come and gone
since then The black-eyed Nita sleeps
in the old Spanish cemetery where the
white trail of the mesa ends; and the
Englishman has gone to his own place
oversee.
In the old hacienda, a young Jose
re1gns in the old mans stead; but
when the autumn comes, and the Dark
Gods ride over the mountain crest and
mesa, men say that the glass-eyed
broncho gallops out to the West-woe
to the herd. and woe to the man that
meets him along the ride, for death
and ruin ride in the wake of the fire
shod heels, and the cattle CULVER with
fear, as the long-drawn neigh shrills
out of the dark.
White man, red man, cowboy and
greaser, when the night comes, and
they gather at the gate of the corral,
whisper omniously, and there is si-
lence that means trouble.
John had laughed much and argued
more, but against a dead wall of
shrugs, and sullenness that grew with
each day.
The cattle had been restless and un-
easy for days, the men not much bet
ter. No longer at dusk, the songs rang
up from the corral, for the rumor had
gone among them:
Rusty Pete had seen the glass-eye.

CANADA'S CAPITAL AROUSED.
Never Was There Such Excitement
Physicians Association Trying
tn Lat

Ottawa, Canada, Nov. 25th.-This
city is stirred up as never before.
Some seven years ago the local papers
published an account of a man named
George H. Kent of 408 Gifmour street,
who was dying of Bright's Disease and
who at the very last moment after
several of our best physicians had de-
clared he couldn't live twelve hours,
was saved by Dodds Kidney Pills.
People who know how low Mr.. Kent
was refused to believe that he was
cured permanently and the other day
in order to clinch the matter the pa
pers published the whole case over
again and backed up their story by
sworn statements made by Mr.. Kent,
in which he declares most positively
that in 1894 he was given up by the
doctors and that Dodd's Kidney Pills
and nothing else saved him, and fur
Their that since the day that Dodd's
Kidney Pills sent him back to work
seven years ago, he has not lost a
single minute from his work Gle is
printer in the American Bank Note
Printing Company
Mr.. Kent is kept quite busy during
his spare hours answering inquiries
personally and by letter, but he is so
grateful that he counts the time well
spent Indeed he and his wife have
shown their gratitude to Dodd's Kid
ney Pills in a very striking way by
having their little girl-born in 1896
christened by the name of '.Dodds''
Altogether it is the most sensational
case that has ever occurred in the his /
tory of medicine in Canada and the
perfect substantiation of every detail
leaves no room to doubt either the
completeness or the permanency of
the cure.
The local physicians have made the
case of Kent and Dodd's Kidney Pills
the subject of discussion at several of
the private meetings of their associa-
ton.

Why tn. Sea is Blue.

Why is the sea blue? Briefly, because
water is blue; a green leaf absorbs the
red, yellow, blue and violet compo-
nents of ray of light, and gives us
back the green. So a tomato rejects
all but the red; blacklead is greedy and
absorbs all it can get; a white rose
takes in scarcely anything and reflects
almost the entire ray as white light.
Water absorbs little of the blue OF
the ray, and the effect of layer upon
layer Of very light blue is to make
the mass look a deep color.-London
