STRIKERS MAKE GAIN.
5000 Men Added to the Roll of
Strike, s---Joliet Mills Shut
Down.

Joliet, Illinois, Aug. 15.-The four
lodges of the Amalgamated association
employees of the Illinois Steel company
at the Joliet mills, by unanimous vote
decided tonight to obey the strike Or
der of President Shaffer. The confer
ence was in session from 3 o'clock this
afternoon until 9 o'clock tonight be-
fore the decision was reached.
The steel mills were closed at noon
to enable the members of the associa-
tion to attend the meeting which was
called by Nj. F. Tighe, national assis-
tant secretary, after his arrival here
this morning. He was accompanied
by Vice President Davis of the fourth
district. Both men presented the sidee
of the association to the local
members. It was argued that
in order to secure the organization of
the non-union workers in the east,
it was essential that the western men
would have to join the strike move
ment. Mr.. Tighe also appealed to the
fealty of the men to the association;
he urged them to be men and stand to
their union. His remarks were re-
ceived with enthusiasm and presaged
the vote that followed
This action will close the entire
steel plant here, throwing out of en-
ployment nearly 5000 men. Fires
will be drawn tonight.

CASE OF COL. NEAL.

The governor has received numerous
letters from prominent citizens of the
state asking him to pardon Colonel
Neal. The ground taken by these gen
tlemen is that Colonel Neal was really
convicted on technical point of law.
The governor said tody he had receiv
ed no formal petition, but had receiv-
ed letters from state officials and circuit
court judges asking him to act. As
these were personal letters, he could
not act. But when formal petition
is sent in be will atke proper ction.-

SUMTER. S. c.. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 81 1901.
Sampson the Invisible---He is Not
important.

We hold in this Office the affidavit
of..a seaman formerly attached to a
ship commanded by Admiral Sampson.
Under oath this man testifes that
in great hurricane which threatened
the lives Of all the men, Admiral
Sampson was invisible-no one saw
him until the hurricane was over.
We all know that during the fight at
Santiago Admiral Sapmson was again
invisible.
No one saw him until the fight was
over. Then he bobbed up with a tele-
gram announcing that he presented a
great victory to the nation.
Now we are Informed by an official
statement of the Navy Department
that Admiral Sampson will not ap-
pear in person before the Scbley Court
Of Inquiry" Again he will be invis-
ible.
With all Difference we ask:
''When is Sampson visible9 Is he
always drinking tea hundred miles
away? Why, in heavens kind and en-
during name, was he ever made an
!Admiral?''
He is invisible while the hurricane
RACES.
He is invisible while the fight is on.
He is to remain invisible during the
Court of Inquiry which his envy and
the libels of his tool, Maclay, forced
upon a brave officer and disgusted
public.
The lowest form of cowardice is
that which decries brave man and
claims brave mans credit. That is
also the commonest form of coward
ice, because it is the safest.
Of Sampson we know that his IA
ther was an honest workman who dug
bitches for a living.
= We know that his sister was a poor
seamstress, who very recently escaped
life of toll by marrying.
Couriously enough, Admiral Samp-
son followed up his usual course. He
was absent when his poor sister was
married.
We know that Sampson. son OF a
ditch digger and brother to poor
dressmker, believes that an American
gunner is unfit for promotion, that his
lack Of polish makes it unwise to let
him rise above the ranks.
So much we know of Admiral Samp-
son, and we are free to remark that
such record would disgrace the
tombstone of polecat.
It is because of this record, not be-
cause of his own importance, that
Sampson is national issue.
The absentee fighter, the absentee
brother, the officer who insults every
American sailor, should not be alloy
ed to steal the honors of an honest
fighting man.
Sampson counts on President Nc
Kinley's friendship to carry through
his plot against Schley.
But Mckinley, whose influence will
control the Court OF Inquiry, cares
more for the opinions of hundred
thousand American citizens than he
does for the offended vanity of Samp-
son.
If hundred thousand readers will
write to President Mckinley, respect
fully urging upon him the fact that
Schley's court-martial is one disgrace
to the Navy, and that SIMPSONS posi-
tion in command is another disgrace,
they will render genuine service
to every American sailor and every
decent, loyal American ofhcer.-N.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Concerning the ParIor.

!, The arrangement Of parlor has al
ways seemed to me to involve ques-
tons having certain ethical value
since, If a parlor means anything, it
means a place in which mans rela-
lions with his fellows may be carried
on-those relations In which all sug-
gestion Of business or of a professional
character are for the time being drop
ped. Thus you not only want to pro-
vide seat for the neighbor who drops
in to see you, but you want to make
that seat comfortable. You also want
to refresh his eye with agreeable OBJ
jects as he sits there, shielding it from
glaring lights and so arranging your 9TH
er belongings that his vision, tempted
to roam while he waits, does not come
plump upon some ugly object in anoth-
er room. You must never, by the way,
forget the end of the visual line, as it
were. Landscape artists and architects
study It, and the mistress of the house
hold never loses sight Of it. Chairs aid
sofas and tables should be pulled about,
tried in one place and then in another
until the desideratum is reached.
AS your possessions increase, too, you
must be ready to move things again,
even those which until that moment
have always seemed to you exactly
right" The coming of a new picture
into an apartment sometimes means
the entire Encouragement of all the
rooms, since everything else may be
thrown out Of key. But if your pic
ture be worth anything it is certainly
worth the trouble you may take in
bringing the rest of your belongings
into right relations with it. No one.
however, who loves good pictures is
unwilling to do this.-Harper's Bazaar.

KNEW THE NOON HOUR.
Pair of Horses That Stopped When
the Whistles Blew.

A pair Of intelligent horses attracted
the attention Of large crowd on Mas
sau street at noon one day last week.
They were attached to a heavily load
ed ice wagon coming down the steep
grade between Cedar street and Maid
en- lane and were holding back the
wagon with a noticeable effort. When
they were half way down, the whistles
blew for II o'clock. Suddenly the
horses drew in toward the curb and
began to plant their hind feet well for
ward to stop the wagon.
The driver made no effort to check
them. and their hard work at once at
tracted notice. Pedestrians looked at
the horses and then at the driver, who
had a broad grin on his face. By hard
work the wagon was stopped. The
driver sat still and watched his ami
mails One of them Immediately be-
gan rubbing his head against the neck
of the other and with mods and pushes
succeeded in rubbing his bride off.
Then the other horse took his turn at
rubbing. and his bride came off.
Fully 200 persons had watched this,
and when it was completed the driver
got down from his seat and swung
bag of oats over the nose of each ami
NAL. They stood there and ate their
midday meal. The driver was patient
and proud of his team. He petted them
and talked to them and when they
were through drove off whstlins.

places on the feet are made perfectly
smooth. This can be done easily and
the feet kept in excellent condition by
using fine pumice stone every morn
ing after the bath. The pumice stone
should. of course. be wet. and if rubbed
daily over the points on the feet that
have hardened or shown tendency to
harden the places can be made and
kept smooth. After a corn has been
removed, too. a light rubbing daily
