well-merited applause.
The Scranton Saengerrunde, who will
compete in the new armory tomorrow
morning, held their final rehearsal of
the prize song last evening. There was
a full attendance of members in ath-

Junser Maennerchor, who will also
take part in the eisteddfod tomorrow
morning. They are entered in the
same class as the Saengerrunde. and
six other societies from various parts
of the country will also compete.
The Maennerchor has practiced dill
gently and faithfully to attain, as
nearly as possible, perfect rendition
of the prize song. "Einkehr." which is
intended for choruses Of not over forty
voices, and not less than thirty. The
competition between the societies from
this side has caused a much greaer
interest to be taken in the eisteddfod

side will flock to the armory tomorrow,
so that by their presence they may
cheer their favorite singers on to vic
tory.

Do Not Like the Name.

Cemetery street leading from North
Main avenue to the Cathedral cemetery,
is to be known hereafter as West Glib

the thoroughfare do not like the idea Of

to some street with more desirable
name, concluded to change the name of
the street.
Accordingly the owners of the plot
which have been recently opened on
either side of the street. have agreed
to mark it on their maps as continua-
tion of Gibson street. which it would be
If Gibson street was extended. When
the street is formally decided over to the

Has a shadow been cast within the
ranks of the American Federation Of
Labor? And if coming events cast
their shadows before is that what
prompted that body, at its recent con-
vention, to invade new fields where
the banner of trade unionism had al
ready been planted by what may prove
to be a rival body? VIII the American
Federation of Labor have a rival?
These are the muchly discussed
questions since the American Fedora
ton of Labor has decided to send its
organizers into the territory which
had been operated and largely con-
trolled by the Western Labor Union
an organization whose remarkable ra-
pidity of growth during its short ex-
istence has been something pherome-
nal.
For many years there had been a
desire on the part of the labor men in
the far western part of the United
States for closer affiliation of the
various local organizations than seem
ed possible through connection with
the American Federation of Labor or
the Knights of Labor. both of which
organizations operated almost eXclu-
sively in the eastern and middle west
ern states. Neither of these bodies ever
held but one of its annual conventions
west of the Mississippi river, and that
was the A f. of l.. meeting in Den
yer in 1894.

Compared with other professions,
physicians, for instance, the salaries of
teachers, low as they seem to us, were
never unfair in the early days of the
country. The only trouble was that
they were not always paid, as the
towns did not always have the money.
These arrearages ran sometimes for
years. Prior to 1882 physicians. even
in Boston, where rates were higher
than in the smaller towns, charged
but twenty-five cents for a visit, eX
cept to such as were in high life" to
whom the fec was fifty cents. In 1882
the Boston physicians formed club
and raised the common fee to fifty
cents; a visit in consultation 81 and
double fee for night calls But the sal
airy of the teacher of the Boston Latin
school was 5000 in 1870, and was in
creased from time to time. Even after
the combination of physicians in 1882
it is doubtful If many of them had a
larger income than the salary of the
principal of the high school, which
was then $500
The school teachers began to have
trouble with the puritan ministers al
most from the start. Cheever was ex-
PEELED from the New Haven school
for his views, but continued to teach
in other colonies till he died in 170S,
having taught school for seventy
years. His deathbed statement con-
vinces one that from New England
school teachers, rather than from its
puritan ministers, came that which
made it the cradle OF liberal thought
as well as of political independence in
America.

One summer day in 1890 a New
Yorker visiting Berlin strolled to the
Lustgarten, and, sitting on one of the
benches, contemplated the fine build.
ings around him. He did not know
his bearings very well, and, in halting
German, asked some questions of
young man who had sat down beside
him.
This young man was unmstakably
"a German, but he replied in perfect
English, remarking that he presumed
his interlocutor was either an English
man or an American. The couple chat
red for half an hour, and the American
became more and more astonished at
the minuteness of the others knowl-
'edge of the archaeology of Berlin. He
knew the history of every building !n
sight, told the American just those
things that the guide books do not
tell, and, withal, was so courteous and
pnalfeCtedly cordial that the heart of
the tourist warmed to his unknown
guide.
AT length the conversation drifted
from the past to the present and the
New Yorker made remark about the
opinion held in America OF the Kaiser.
In those days the young War Lord"
was regarded as a dangerous firebrdnd
as an irresponsible monarch who
might any day plunge Europe into
conflict. 1t was even said that he had
shown evidence of insanity.
When this subject arose the young
German suddenly changed from "A

America. These the New Yorker fur

ended by asking:
What do you personally think OF
him?'
Il am afraid" replied the young
man, that my opinion on that subject
is not Of much value. | am the Kaiser

The American sprang to his feet in
amazement. The Emperor cut his
apologies short.

me-just as hard as it is for people
far away to learn the truth about me.

in telling the story nowadays, need
say anything about the Kaiser to me.

to find out how wrong was its esti-

now, or, at any rate. those whose opin-
ion is worth anything have done so.
Twelve years ago people talked OF
