The great artist has been in this coun-

Count Cassini to introduce him and

In Marienbad last summer MakovslSv

it was not completed then he brought it

TO BUILD MACHINE SHOP

New Building.

The Eastern owners of the Market
street Railroad Company have in contern-
plation the building of a machine shop in
the near future. The site selected for the
building is the corner of Utah and Twen-
ty-fourth streets. During the past week
the lot has been used as a kind of crema-
tory for the destruction of old horse cars
that were in use before the company Sc
cured the franchise for an electric service.
The antiquated cars were useless and
were stored in the carhouses, to the great
Inconvenience of the men handling and
switching the more modern rolling stock
AS no one could be found to purchase
them, they were taken to the Utah-street
lot and burned for the iron they con-
tanned
When the new machine shop is erected
all of the companys cars will be con-
structed and all Of the repair work
will be done there. At present the repair
ing work is done in the various carhoilses
while the heavier work of equipping the
cars with motors is done on Kentucky

built at private establishments. The COM
pany now contemplates constructing it's

MOTHER'5 DEATH
BRINGS SUICIDE
Grief Causes Miss Nellie
McLerie to End Her
Life.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

OdhldlQ OlIlCS OdI rIdIClSCO OdAAS
Ills Broadway, Dec 4.
Long brooding over the death of her
mother so preyed upon the mind of Miss
Nellie McLerie, residing at Sl2 Church
street, San Francisco, as to cause her to
end her life last night at the home of
Mrs. Robert Dalziel, 522 Fifteenth street,
where the respondent young woman was
a guest. Miss McLerie turned on the
gas III her bedroom, where she was
found dead this morning by members of
the family, who discovered the strong
odor of escaping gas and made the in
vestigation which disclosed the suicide.
The young woman had been subject to
fits of extreme depression and melan-
cholia for several years. Her father.
Henry J. McLerie, contractor of San
Francisco had tried many remedies to
meet his daughters peculiar mental con-
dition, but nothing had been of more
than temporary avail.
Two weeks ago, in the hope that a
change might be beneficial, Miss McLerte
accepted the invitation of Mrs. DalziaI,
an intimate family friend, to go to their
home in this city.
There was not suggestion of the i'm
pending deed when Miss McLerie retired
last night.
Mrs Dalziel said:
Nellie had been playing the piano and sing
ing shortly before she retired The horror of
her taking off was all the more terrible be-
cause we had not the slightest idea that this
was in her mind. She had realized her condi-
ton. but had always struggled to fight OF her
melancholy moods. Her mind had not been
right since her mothers death.
Miss McLerie had made deliberate prep
aration for death, having stopped all the
openings and crevices in her room as
tightly as possible

THAT INTERVIEW THAT
 WASN'T

And so the story comes numbering along about a month or more after the thing didn't happen, that the fa- nous interview had with ex- x-Senator Towne relative to free silver and kindred topics, and over which so much editorial pencil had been em ployed in recording the hopelessness of Bryanism, etc, was an imaginary affair from beginning to end, MT. Towne wiring MT. Bryan that he hadn't spoken to a reporter in three months. On this the Dubuque Herald comments
 It Is incredible that any newspaper man conceived and wrote the imagin- ary interview merely to gratlfy his taste for the sensational. The polit- ical motive behind the lie is easily discern,ble. Evidently the interview was carefully and purposely pre- pared tc discredit the Democratic national platform and leader and thus promote the scheme of the Eastern ''reorganizers' to regain control of the party and convert 1t from an opponent into an instrument of privileged interests.
 It may not be that the production was conceived by newspaper man to merely gratify a taste for the sen sational, although 1t is possible, for there are lots of newspaper men who have no conscience to trouble them in matters of this kind. And 1t may be that the thing was politically in spired for sinister purpose, as sug, gested. for there are men among us capable of the rascality But most likely 1t was neither one thing or the other, but the legitimate sequence of system of compensation in reporto- rial service, obtaining in some of our big cities, where the writer Is paid so much a line for the matter accepted by the newspaper management and nothing for what is rejected Ac- cordingly the stuff presented for sale will naturally be of character the more likely to ensure it's acceptance and the more ot 1t the more profit able to its vendor.
 And. what is there that would be more acceptable to the partisan and subsidized Republican editor than something to illustrate the passing of anything savoring of true democracy?

that the work for temperance which ignores the industrial question, can never become the success it would, were industrial conditions anything like what they should be.
 And the same existent conditions that drove the discouraged and dis inherited worker into the liquor sell ing business still abide with us to keep him there; many of whom would be at any time glad, to get out of 1t if they could. Having made a test of this in many cases we present it not as an unevidenced theory bt a deplorable fact.

However, if the conflict is to be fought out to a finish, it is an open question whether the defeat rather than victory of the workers will not in the end be better for them. If they win they will be satisfied to keep on as employes-hired men of the great monopoly. while if they lose there is nothing left for them but to organize politically; and here, after all, is the only final solution of the great labor problem possible.
 And Mark Hanna is politician and statesman enough to see this, and interested enough to impart the knowledge to Autocrat Morgan. And surely Morgan has sagacity enough to realize that with the labor hosts of the country united at the ballot box, the beginning of the end of his autocratic reign Is in sight

 It looked at one time last week as If the great proposed strike was to be averted, and that at the hands of Senator Mark Hanna. But today "Wednesday the die is cast and Monday next begins the great con- fict in earnest. Yet 1t may still be averted, for the. name of Hanna yet figures in the case It would have been good politics on behalf of this astute political chief to have ended the proceedings between Shaffer and Morgan before the strike order was issued. but 1t will be better politics to do 1t now or later.

NOT ENTIRELY CORRECT.

On the fifth day of July the re mains of the good man Hazen s Plngree lay in state in the city hall at Detroit. The sad event furnished a theme for leading editorial in one of the leading newspapers of the city. From this editorial we quote:-
 The battered hat, the weather worn coat, the hard, strong hand mlsshaped by rough usage made up the setting for thousands of faces which looked sadly towards the en- trance of the city hall. The people waited patiently for the solid jam to unto!d itself into a procession, and then they passed silently through the corridor and looked sadly upon the face of theiT dead leader.
 It was hat following that made MT Plngree terror to his oppon- ents. It was such following, under the direction of able leaders, that has accomplished every great vic- tory In the field of battle. It was such following that carried every great revolution to success. The field at Runnymede was dotted with the faces of the plain people. ;" They wrung the Magma Charta from King John, for they were the power behind a handful of leaders.
 The masses followed the Pingree banner, not because their leader was a great statesman. but because he was brave enough to imperil his pri- vate interests, by opposing the ene- mics of the people who sought to ab- sorb their wealth and usurp their government. Any man who is hon. est, brave and untiring can have MT. Plngree's following, but he must be genuine. The plain people may be deceived for little, but. they will utterly destroy those :. .who4 .Pstray them. There was never time when men of the Pingree stamp

WHAT prosperous conditions must prevail in the nation, surely, when men are to be found in abundance ready 10 take other mems places who quit work to force little more wages for unrequited toll or resist a reduction. And ready to do this too in the face of threatened danger. Thus the heartless employer uses the poverty of one wage serf against the other to keep both in subiection.
