Two years ago the Denver Woman's
club took up the work Of Pingree gar
dening. The club obtained permission
from the city and the various owners to
use vacant lots in the poor districts
throughout the city, then interested the
jewellers in tenameDts to use these va
cant lots for the cultivation of vege-
tables and flowers. The results Of the
first year were so satisfactory that Pin
gree gardening became an established

SUIT AGAINST A union
SOCIETY OF RAILWAY SERVANTS
ASKED TO PAY OVER 100000.
Damages Alleged to Have Been
Caused by an Illegal Combina-
ton of Trades Unionists.

LONDON, Dec 27.-In the suit Of the
Taft Vale Railway against the Amalga-
mated Society Of Railway Servants, an i'm
portant trades-u union case, the plaintiffs
filed a statement to-day claiming s24, 626
damages suffered through an alleged con-
spiracy and unlawful combination. The
plaintiffs claim (Which is based on the
House OF Lords decision of July last hold
ing that it was not the intention of the
Legislature to prevent a trades union from
being sued If, through its officers, it is
guilty of illegalities) is against Richard
Bell, member of Parliament for Derby and
general secretary Of the Amalgamated So
ciety OF Railway Servants, and against
the trustees of the society, as well as
against the society itself
The House of Lords, on July % last, re-
versed the decision of the Appeal Court
dissolving the injunction rendered Aug. 30,
1900, by Justice Farwell in the High Court
of Justice, which enjoined officials of the
Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants
from watching and besetting''' the Great
Western Railway stations and approaches
with view to inducing nonunionists TO re-
frain from taking the places of strikers
That action of the House Of Lords re-
stored Justice Farwells judgment, the
House holding, as set forth in the cable dis
patch, that II was not the intention or the
Legislature to prevent a trades union from
being sued If, through its officers, it is
guilty of illegalitieS.

DUN on TRADE CONDITIONS.


NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-R. G. Dun * Co.'S
weekly Review Of Trade tomorrow will
say:
II any evidence was needed Of the un-
paralleled prosperity with which this Ma
ton has been blessed during the past year
the expenditure for Christmas gifts and
decorations should be ample Distribution
Of Christmas gifts among the employees of
large firms and corporations was on the
same scale, often the increase over last
year amounting TO loo per cent, while the
proft-sharing at the end of the year will
reach unprecedented figures. II is noticed
that Southern trade shows less satisfactory
gains over last year than in other sections,
which Is not surprising, as the principal
product of the South has averaged from
- TO $40 a bale less than year ago, while
the quantity thus far marketed shows no
commensurate increase
Following closely upon the interruption
by foods and storms last week, transport
ing and manufacturing facilities were fur
tner handicapped by numerous accidents.
Iron furnaces and steel mills were tied up,
and the movement OF coke was hampered.
This resulted in such insufficient supplies Of
fuel that many stacks were banked at
time when full activity was especially de-
sired. The situation 90 coke is more
critical than at any previous time this sea-
son. Output in the Connellsville region has
been at a record eaking pace for month
or more. but stocks accumulate at the ovens
because motive power and cars cannot be
secured. Pig iron production Is no longer
at the high water mark recorded when
december opened ana with fancy prices IOT
fuel IL is natural that bessemer should
advance. A large Mexican rail order has
been offered, but may go to Europe, as
domestic makers are unable to undertake
any new. deliveries for some time To come.
A decidedly high level Of prices has been
maintained for the leading staples, with
option trading of good dimensions, despite
the double holiday at the Produce Ex-
change. Wheat recovered most of the re-
cent moderate decline, supported by fair
ly steady demand. Notwithstanding the
high level of quotations compared with
earlier years, exports for the week from
all ports Of the United States, including
-four, amounted to 354O.972 blu, compared
with 2,756,Ol4 year ago, and 2,4l7,0l8 bu
two years ago. Corn continues about %
per cent above the price year ago. which
readily explains Atlantic exports of only
25S bu against 1882 55 last year. Sugar
became conspicuous through the aggressive
cutting Of quotations by competing refin-
ers. Raw grades declined slightly on &C
count of big crop estimates and other out
side influences, but the fall in standard
graduated was disapropOrtiOnately heavy.
Failures for the week number $50 in the
United States against 237 last year, and q
in Canada, against IS last year.

cussion of topics of technical and general
interest in buildings under my control,
with instructors present, where an mex
pensive and simple lunch is served. and the
drinking is restricted to a moderate use OF
beer; or shall they be sent to hotels and
restaurants, where expensive dinners are
the rule and all restrictions are removed?
In my judgment the first position is the
truthful one, and that which will help the
boys TO temperate and clean living.
1T has been a revelation TO me to find
how little the combined churches of Bos-

acter and lives of the constantly growing

instruction. If your purpose is TO make this
influence more direct and more helpful no

LOS ANGELES. Cal, Dec. IA wind
ragged to-day all over the southern part
of California. The storm was what is To-

The progress made by the Tribune is
one of the pleasing features of the his
tory Of Indiana newspapers. The Tribune
will celebrate it's thirtieth anniversary next
March. 1t was the first daily published
in South Bend and the first newspaper
in this part of Indiana TO introduce the

begun the use of a Hoe press in June, 1898.
This press was purchased with the expec-
tation that IL would suffice for from ten
TO twenty years. Now, before the COM
pletion of the fourth year Of its service,
the Tribune's patronage has increased so
rapidly that a press allowing expansions
has become a necessity. This patronage
was greater during the holidays of 1901
than ever before. The Tribune's circula-
ton has kept pace with it's advertising.
