In one district OF North Carolina both
parties agreed upon one man, Robert N.
Page. who, although a Democrat, secured
the reservement OF the Republicans be-
cause he voted for Mckinley. and In the
Eleventh Pennsylvania district William
Connell, the present member from the
Scranton district, Republican, received
the Endorsement of the Democratic boil
ters, the regular Democrats nominating
George Howell. a Republican. who also
received the reservement OF the boilers

standard bearer of the Prohibitionists In
the Tenth Kentucky district and Miss
Ida Haslett, the Socialist candidate for
congress-at-large from Colorado.

Democratic candidate who was elected

BURNING SUBJECT
Prof. Gardiner Discusses tho
Topic Of Empty Coal Bins.

The Mems club OF the Cranston Street
ing last evening.
Following the supper a business meeting
was held at which four candidates were
made members.
An amendment Of the constitution rela-
tive TO the last meeting for the year
was carried over 10 the next meeting.
Deacon Hanley invited all to attend
Bible class on Sunday at 1915 p. m.
President Arnold made remarks on the
welfare Of the club. Rev l.. l.. Hepsen,
D. D.. pastor OF the Cranston street
church, spoke about the death OF Mr..
Peacock OF Pawtucket, whose brother Is
an officer OF the Mems club. and 1t was
voted by the club TO extend their sym
psihy TO him.
Professor Henry b. Gardiner Of Brown
university spoke upon Empty Coal
Bins" Mr. Gardiner described the man
ner I'm which the miner works. and said
that out OF his wages he pays his helper,
buys his own tools and also his own
powder. and that when this is done he
has not much money left Professor
Gardiner referred to the large part OF
the control which the railroads have over
the miners, saying that they owned at
least three-fourths OF the mines In Penn
sylvania- II was perfectly legitimate for
the unions TO try TO get more money and
shorter hours II they could.
The average wage is from $3.50 TO 50
per day for the miner. and that according
10 the days worked, makes about $500
or 5000 a year. The laborer gets Sl.75 TO
81 90 per day, which. counting days or
idleness, nets him about $3.50 per year
which Is almost starvation wages for
man with a family. Every industry has
public character, and the one in the
case OF the miners is that each miner
needs the support OF his fellow in their
daily work.
The speaker referred to trades unions
saying that they were very good organ
izations, that trusts could not be abol-
ished and that men must strike in order
10 get any recognition whatever.
1t was mistaken policy on the part
OF the mine operators In saying that they
would not recognize a union in any form,
for they were forced TO change their
views. and the result of the strike is
certainly a victory for the strikers, for
everybody has had To recognize the
union.
The only way 10 settle strikes is TO have
a yearly convention In which the opera
tors and workers can meet and agree on
wages and hours OF labor, which shall
be arranged according to the circum-
stances OF the year. This way Of pre-
venting strikes has been tried and has
been very successful. The question OF
ownership and management
OF the mines is not a practical idea for
those In charge OF the affairs would not
have such an interest in the affairs as
they would II they owned. the business.
In most cases where settlement of large
questions is at an issue each thinks OF
his own pocket first. Professor Gardiner
closed by saying that It was the aim OF
the big owner in large corporations 10
obtain control of the legislature.

Several OF the men who made their es-
cape from the lower part OF the building
said that there were not more than 10
men on the top floor. and IL is not thought
there will be any loss OF life among the
men employed In any other part OF the
building.
The men employed In the three lower
floors OF the drying house ran for the
doors and windows as soon as they had
knowledge OF the fire and ell Of them
succeeded In reaching the open air. On
the third floor there was one man at
work He was cut of from the fire es-
cape by the dense clouds OF smoke and
was compelled 10 make a run for his life
down the stairs. Two minutes later

him to make his escape.
NO CHANCE FOR LIVES.
The men on the seventh floor had no
chance whatever for their lives Sew

reach a place OF safety, but with the ex-
ception OF two men all those who attempt

The two men. however. determined 10
take the chances OF a leap, and climbing
up on the window ledge they sprang out
into the air. Their bodies were horribly
crushed and mangled and IL was impossi-

Four other men Jumped from the win

RHODE ISLAND & CALIFORNIA OIL
COMPANY.

When one contemplates the many Min
ing and Oil Companies which were incor-
porated years ago, sold their stock 10
trustful investors. In amounts ranging all
the way from the Widows mite to the
Bankers thousands, and from that day
TO the present have never shown the
slightest outcome for the money invested.
II is certainly refreshing to recognize the
condition OF the Rhode Island * Califor-
MIA oil Company.
With their immense property In Cali
fornia purchased twelve months ago, in
corporated eleven months ago, their first
share OF stock sold less than ten months
ago, and today, with their property all
paid for and turned over to the company
with a clean warranty deed. their ma
chnery, derrick, houses, tanks, barn,
horses and teams all paid for and good
balance OF cash in the treasury, they
announce that they have reached the
product at a depth OF about 700 feet. and
with the very encouraging prospects OF
much larger product at greater depth.
And what is more encouraging than all
this is that the oil produced Is OF as high
a quality as any production In the state
OF California. 1t Is the intention 10 sell
but little more stock, as they only wish
70 sell the amount required for develop
ment and then to withdraw the stock.
thereby increasing the percentage or
dividends 10 the holders.

Work" Mrs. Gregory responded in part
as follows:
House work over against club work.
the relative Importance OF each In wom-
ans life and woman's sphere. This has
been the burning question before the
world OF tie last century. from Maine to
California; from England 10 Australia;
wherever the greatest development OF
womanhood and the consequent eleva-
tion OF the human race has come to be
felt the pivotal question OF the day.
House work has been woman's undis-

have elapsed since Adam cnd Eve first

I'm the early history OF our country our
mothers had no such question to face
there was no alternative. TO do, or not TO
do; domestics there were none. Each
mother had her house and children TO care
for with her own hands. The spinning
wheel and the loom were in every house.
The music OF the whiw was constant: up
before Eight: the same thing done at the
same hour year In and year out The nre

wonder that in many cases where tnat
