ference is on at Hotel Henry, 1t 10
understood that the object of the meet
ing is to devise ways and means to
aid the steel strikers.
Pittsburg. August 24.-The steel
strike situation is without material
change. All the combine plants start
ed recently with non-union workmen
are in operation with about the same
number of men as yesterday and quiet
prevailed at all points. The steel Of
ficials appear satisfied with the pro-
gress made, and evidently are prepar-

ENDED SUDDENLY.
IMPEACHMENT RESOLUTIONS
RAN AGAINST A SNAO.
Advocates of the Resolutions Surprised
at the Turn of Anairs--In Eject No Ac-
tion Was Taken Against State Treasur-
er--How 1t Was Done.


Austin, Texas, August 24.-Although
1t has been foregone conclusion that
the resolution looking to the impeach-
ment of State Treasurer John M. Rob-
bins would fail, the manner in which
1t failed was a positive surprise to
nearly everybody around the capital.
The authors of the resolution have re-
allied that 1t would be defeated, but
they never expected what happened.
rhe proceedings came 20 an end rather
suddenly and with the house refusing
to take any action whatever. The ma
iority of the house voted to substitute
the Hawkins resolution for the origi-
nal. The said majority turned around
and voted down the resolution as sub
mitted The Hawkins substitute was
introduced yesterday. 1t deprecated
and condemned the violation Of law
but expressed confidence in Mr. Rob-
bins and declared he should not be
impeached That substitute was de-
bated all day yesterday. Today, Mr..
Seabury announced during the course
Of his remarks that the Hawkins sub
stitute would be Withdrawn and in lieu
of it another substitute would be Of
fered the effect of which was to con-
denim the practice which had been OBJ
served by the treasurer as unsafe,
without declaring it illegal. Mr.. Hen
derson of Lamar objected to this sub
stitution, whereupon Mr. Seabury had
the new substitute read as a part of
his remarks. The inference was that
an attempt would be made to get it in
as the substitute later, but no such
attempt was made. In the afternoon
came the governors message showing
that there were plans on foot to re-
organize the suspended bank. Finally,
late in the evening the oratory was
checked and the voting commenced.
The Hawkins substitute was put up.
1t was submitted for the original res
olution by vote of So to A. Then
the men who had introduced the i'm
peachmeTst resolution got together in
knots. They passed the word around
to vote ror the substitute resolution.
Let us help them pass it now, said
they, and when the roll was started
they voted aye as their names were
reached. But great. Scott! What hap
pened? Why, the men who had urged
the substitute were now voting against
|
what they had substituted, all save

pointing 20 q sign over q basement in
the wholesale dry goods district.
Yes; Il would be = queer place" was
the answer. 81 the product was like
that Of nearly al cooper shops But
there was never a barrel made IN the
place, and probably not one OF the Is
men who work there could head a bar

cooperage does business only with big

There are several similar shops In the
district They make a business OF

they have been packed. The large
concerns have the cases put In the
street after they have been packed. and
then the cooper II sent for 20 nail the
wooden straps around them. He re-
ceiyes about 25 cents an hour for bis
labor and from 10 10 % cents a pair
for the straps. The shops are the
stOrehOuses for the hoop poles. and
there the men split and shave the hick.

Many labor saved you here,
Little Margaret,
MANY a heartache. many a tear!
Saved you earth's temptestuous stIife'
Yet how full your fieeting life,
Baby Margaret.
For. though word was never thine.
Little Margaret
Still with sylIables divine
Out of great eternity
You are calling, calling me,
Baby Margaret.
+ r though step YOU never tr0d
Little Margaret,
You are leading me TO God
over wild and steep and height
Gulf abysmal bridged with night
Baby Margaret.
HENRY JEROME STOCKARD.
