WARNING TO LABOR UNIONS
Their Future Endangered BY Conflict
ing Claims of Jurisdlctjon.

ing OidtUS OF jurisdiction.
New Orleans, Nov. IA. - President
Samuel Gompers at the opening of the
American Federation of Labor yester-
day delivered an impassioned warning
to the members of the organization
that the immediate future of trade and
labor assemblies was seriously endan-
gered by the conflicting claims OF iuris-
diction made by different bodies. IN
less such things were approached in
calmness and handled with moderation
he declared that the labor organiza-
tons of the country soon would be in
volved in conflict which by COMPARE
son would dwarf ali the struggles in
which labor organizations have been
engaged thus far. The matter. unless
Checked, he asserted, would come to n
point where laboring men would fight
with laboring men from behind barri-
cades in the manner in which men deal
with their mortal foes.
His warning OF danger and his coun-
sells Of peace and moderation met a
hearty response from the assembled
delegates, and wild applause greeted
the speaker as he closed that portion
of his annual address in which he had
pointed out the perils which in his
opinion will surely come unless
methods are altered, and altered soon.

Have Never Rendered Any Bills foI
Their Services.
Not one of the seven local doctors who
performed services in connection with
| the Mckinley tragedy In this city last
year, says a Buffalo correspondent of
the New York Tribune, has received
any compensation thus far. Neither
has any of them any official or direct
! knowledge that he will get any com.
pcnsation. Notwithstanding statements
10 the contrary, none of the physicians
ever submitted bills for services, and
the entire subject of compensation was
left wholly to the Government. In the
long time that has elapsed no Govern.
ment official has ever consulted any of
the doctors on the matter. The local
physicians who were I'm personal atten.
dance upon the President, or who were
called into consultation in the case
were Drs. Matthew ID. Mann, Herman
Minter, Charles G. Stockton, Roswell
Park and Eugene Wasdin, the latter
being in the United States Marine Hos.
pital service. Drs. Henry r. Gaylord
and Herman G. Matsinger performed
the autopsy, assisted by some of the
doctors named.
None of the local physicians who at.
tended President Mckinley or who
performed the autopsy have received
any compensation" declared DR.. Mann
this afternoon. Neither has any of
them been consulted in any way on the
subject. 1t was agreed when the ques
ton of compensation was first agi
tated that no bills should be submitted
and the agreement was observed. The
doctors simply permitted the Govern
ment to follow its own course. In con
sequence none of us know officially
what has been done or what will bs
done. All we know Is that an item Of

Edison,s Quick Renartee.

usually surprise to strangers. People
generally approach the heavy, self'con-
tanned looking figure expecting replies
of ponderous technical Importance;
hence their surprise.
The wizard was approached the other

Lord Spencer's Bargain.

Lord Spencer of Althorp, one Of the
greatest of book collectors, was al
home only in his own field. One day,
n browsing about Bond street, he went
into the shop of dealer in bric-a -brac.
The dealer, who knew him by sight,
said, persuaslvely:
Here is a fine hit of pottery which
your lordshlp really ought to have, and
you shall have it very cheap--only two
guineas."
So Lord Spencer bought ii and took
It home. and set it in high place. One
day connoisseur of china paid him a
visit, and Lord Spencer showed his
bargain.
What did you give for III" asked the
connoisseur.
1.-TWO guineas," answered Spencer,
rather proudly.

that price the marmalade should have
been included"

SILK MANUFACTURE.
France First, United States Second in
Value of Product.


Value of Product.
With the prominence that is being
given in many quarters to the sub
ject of child labor 1t is interesting to
note that in 1870 according to the last
census EOS per cent Of all the opera
tives of silk mills in this country were
children, while in 1900 the lumber of
youthful workers had diminished to
9.S per cent. The decrease took place
between 1870 and 1890. Since the lat
ter year there has been slight in
crease. New Jersey shows the greatest
falling off of child employees, having
dropped from 32,1 per cent to 3 per
cent. In contrast to this, the proper
ton of child operatives in Pennsyl
van,a has grown greater during the
entire period reports the New York
Tribune.
America is second to France In the
annual value of its silk production. In
1900 20 per cent of the silk used in this
country was manufactured here-an
increase of 81 per cent since 1860 and
of 10 per cent since 1890. America
now produces So per cent of the silk
ribbons annually sold here. The goods
now principally imported from Europe
are high-class novelties, hand made silk
velvets and handmade silk laces,
which are not produced here TO any ap-
probable extent but which will, with
out doubt, he made in due time
Habutai and Kaika silks, which, by
reason of their extreme lightness in
weight, are so popular for summer
wear come from Japan, In 1900 the
value of the imports Of silk manufac.
lures was S26S03 $40; of the domes
tic product, SLOT ,206,25S.
There Is very little competition from
abroad with domestic manufactures of
sewing silk and machine twist. In
fact, the United States product is uni
versally acknowledged as superior in
annsh Of purity and dye to that of any
other country, because only the best
Japan and China failures, dyed I'M
weighted, are used. II Is noteworthy
that at the Paris exposition of 1000
the grand prlx d'honneur, the highest
award given, was awarded to an Amer
lean exhibitor of this class of silks.

The inhabitants Of the Isle OF Pines
are uncertain as to their national sta

A Question of Conscience.

"Some folks" said the store clerk,
''are too honest. Now I've had some
body come in to me when the boss was
standing by, somebody that had bought
something of me the day before, and
hand over two cents and say
You gave me two cents too much
change yesterday, and I've brought it
back
lie couldn't rest, you see, that man,
until he'd got that two cents off his
conscience and returned it, But in
getting rid of that load himself he sim
ply shifted 1t onto me. Here's the boss
standing by when that two cents is
returned; and the boss says to himself,
with his eye on me:
Hin. If you make a mistake of
two cents, you'd make one of two dol
lars and so you see, that super-hon-
est mans return of that two cents may
do me lot of harm.
"The meaning of which is, If can
make myself clear, that we don't want
to he too blamed honest. A man can
be too honest and worry himself over
tri1es that he ought not to bother over
~ should say that If the honest man
must bring two cents back let him turn
it in some time when the boss wasn't
'round."-New York Sun.

The DaY Was Fine.

A ten-ton Steam-hammer Is not the
proper implement to employ in crush
ing peanut shells. Yet what Adrian II.
Joline calls the "habit of intellectual
domination" sometimes leads to a mis-
use of mental force which suggests a
similar disproportion between the
work and the instrument.
Charles O'Conor, one of the last as
well as one of the finest of our digni-
iied lawyers of the old school, was a
man of kind heart, but was rendered
somewhat overbearing by the practice
Of cross-questioning witnesses and con-
founding opposing counsel.
81 have vivid recollection of the
great lawyer" says Mr.. Joline. He
was 'characterv He had melan-
choly, subservient slave in his office,
named bingham. Really, that was not
his name, but it will do. Poor old Eff
| bingham would sometimes greet his
master of morning with fawnlng po-
likeness, rubbing his hands and saying,
It's fine day, Mr.. O'Conor.'
"Whereupon the jurist, fixing a cold
and glittering eye upon his affable
clerk, would reply:
Dillingham;, am in good health and
in full possession of my senses, know
that it is fine day, and l do not need
you to remind me of it,"
After such a snub gloom doubtless
settled down for Dillingham;, however
bright the sunshine, until his crushed
spirit had time to recover from The
shock.
