The line south from Uniontown along
Grassy run is full OF curves The
smaller Baldwin has shorter rigid
wheel base and rides the curves more
freely. Davis believes the 1404 is q
little big for the run. Another OBJ
lection to the large straight boilel

three guages OF water, which is gener.
ally considered proper where hills are
encountered With the wagon tops
three guages solid can be carried al

JU sTIN TIME
The Streets Of MOundsyille Scene of a
Bold Attempt at Highwayry.

DVAu Aepompe ~ ulS HVdyIys
Attorney s. G.. Cans of Uniontown
Pa, was held up by suspicious look
ing roustabout at Moundsville last
night, about o'clock. Mr.. Cans ha.
been travelling to MoundsvilIe aut
various sections in the interests of /;
Pennsylvania coal company, for sew
eral months, and says that in all hi
experience he has never before gon,
through the ordeal of being held up
The incident occurred between the
Ohio River depot and the Baltimore
& Ohio, while coming from the train
to the hotel. No one was near, ant
no residences being near that point
the place was almost deserted. When
he was about half the distance. In
a place which was the darkest, he
was confronted by suspicious look
ing character, who asked him in a
commanding way for some money.
MI. Cans was at first surprised, as he
never dreamed of the idea of being
held up in city at that time of the
night. Hisflrst question was; ''What
do you want with the money!" The
intruder gave him rather short an.
swer that it was none of his d. bust
ness. M. Cans began to think seri-
ously of the situation, and his first
thought was to give the alarm. He
looked around, which the bum also
did. They spied several men, evil
IDENTIFY coming from the train, and
they were not far away. The high
wayman, thinking his plans were frus-
trated, took speedy departure, and
allowed his would be victim to pass
on unmolested.
On account Of the intense darkness
in that section, it was impossible for
Mr.. Cans to mark the would-be high
wayman so as to recognize him again,
but he saw enough of him to say that
he was rather heavily built man,
and limped slightly in the right limb,
He wore cap.

How a Famous Bible Illustrator First
Learned to Get Illustrations.

1t is his living, throbblng interest
in life, in the men and women and
children around him, that is the Sc
cret Of DR.. Louis Albert Banks's power
to reach men and women. Many years
ago Dr. Banks realized that, if he
would interest men and women 10 his
preaching, be must give them that in
which they were already interested.
lie found that 1t was by effective IL
Illustrations that he was best able to
fix the truth OF a sermon in peoples
binds and hearts. So lie began to
look for the right kind of illustrations
He would find himself trying to see
how many good illustrations he could
Gull out Of actual life in days jaunt,
or on the street, In parishioners'
homes, through car window, dn the
newspapers, and SO on endlessly. The
habit begun early in life has never
been given up. Rather has it been so
cultivated that to-day DR.. Banks
stands as tn@ acknowledged master of
OF the effective use of word pictures
In teaching Bible truth. His remark
able ability in this line, already so
we'll known from his many books,
was never better exemplifled than In
the new department he has recently
begun ia The Sunday School Times,
where every week he shows "How to
Illustrate the Lesson"

CARPENTERS UNION.
Organization Effected Here Sat-
urday Night.
Jnnkins Band Present-106 Charter
Members-Uther LabOrers to Ur-
ganize-Object Of Union to Classify
Labor.

Jnnkins Band Present-106 Charter
Msmbers-Vther LabOrers to Ur-
ganixe--Object Of Union to Classify
Labor.
A carpenters union with one hun
dred and six charter members was
organized here Satu rday night The
meeting was held In the Maccabee
Hall In the top story OF the Second
National Bank building. Organizers
from Fairmont and Wheeling who
had teen here several times working
up the union were here to complete
It.
Junkins Band from Fairmont came
down on the afternoon train and
helped to create enthusiasm among
the wood workers. There was big
parade on the streets just after supper
participated In by a large number of
carpenters, apprentices, plasterers.
etc, and headed by the band.
After the parade meeting was held
at the Maccabee Hall and an organi-
zation perfected. No contractors ale
admitted in the lodge, but only car
penters and apprentices
The object of the organization
seems to the betterment of the labor
ers at the woodworking craft and a
better classification of the various
grades OF workmen. The matter
Of wages will also receive attention.
No reduction in wages from the pres
ent paying basis will be allowed and
on the other hand no advance is likely
to be asked soon, but classification
OF workmen and wages will be at
tempted, so that carpenter who has
learned his trade will be rated at what
he is worth and az apprentice will
have the position he is prepared to
I'll 10 the great hive Of woodworking
industry. Each will be paid accord
ing to the value of the work he is
able to perform. =
Some regulation will also be put
upon the hours Of labor, so there may
be uniform day for all workmen.
1t is probable that an eight or nine
hour day will be adopted and the car
penters union will demand that all
contractors agree to their scale for
days work.
The Union will hold meeting every
two weeks but the next meeting will
be held next Saturday night. The
dues will be so cents ptr month. The
Initiation fee for charter members is
one dollar. After the organization
is perfected it will probably be q We
dollars
1t is reported that the plasterers
and stone masons and painters will
all organize. Some other tradesmen
marched with the carpenters Satur-
dav night as an evidence of friend
ship for the Union.
This is the first labor union to be
organized ia Morgantown outside of
Glass factories, though organizations
OF various other kinds have flourished
here for long time. A number of
union men have been at work here,
but their membership was held in
other towns.
