GOMPERS IS ENUMERATED.
Charges Against President of FEEDER
alton of Labor Fall n Flat
rs q Pancake.

New Orleans, Nov. 21.-President
Gompers has been completely exoner-
ated Of the charges of infidelity to the
principles of trades unionism, said to
have been made by Theodore j. Shaffer,
president of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers.
The reports of the special committee
which ias conducted the investigation
reported to that effect Thursday morn
ing before the convention of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. The charges
against Mr.. Gompers fell as fiat as a
piece of dough dropped from the
clouds. The committee reported that
when Mr.. Shaffer appeared before it
he declared that he had not at any
time, either in writing or otherwise,
made any charges against Mr.. Com
pers of infidelity to trades unionism,
nor did he desire to before the COM
mittee.
p. j. Sheridan, who brought up in
the convention the resolution which
resulted in the investigation, was also
present at the hearing and was asked
If it was true that Mr.. Shaffer had
made any charges before the last con-
vention of Iron, Steel and Tin Work
ers against Mr.. Gompers, and he re-
piled that he had. Mr.. Shaffer denied
it.. Mr.. Sheridan offered to read the
minutes of the meeting at which the
charges were said by him to have been
made: Mr.. Shaffer objected to this, be-
cause the minutes were those Of Sc
cret meeting and If read by Mr.. Sheri-
dan it would involve him in trouble
with his own organization for divulg-
ing the inner workings of the conven-
ton.
The committee decided that the
question of veracity between Mr.. Shat
fer ard Mr.. Sheridan was something
with which It had nothing to do, and
there being no charges against Mr..
t,ompers, there was nothing to do bat
return a finding to the effect that Mr.
Gompers was completely exonerated
This was done and the report was
| adopted by the convention.

BREAKS OUT AGAIN.
Mrs. Nation Denounces Vanderbilt
Party for Overdressing-she
Scolds a Caterer.

New York, Nov. 21.-Mrs. Carrie
Nation created a sensation at the
horse show Thursday. She harangued
the great gathering on the evils of
overdressing, attempted to break a
bottle of champagne, and finally was
elected from the building by the po-
lice. Mrs. Nation entered the garden
quietly, and took a seat in the tier.
She had been there only few min
utes when her gaze rested on the box
where some members of the Wander
bilt family were sitting. She stud
led her programme and then descend
ed to the promenade.
Stationing herself in front of the
Vanderbilt box she delivered IT,
rade on overdress. In the box were
seated Mrs. Alfred G. Vanderbilt,
Reginald Vanderbilt and Miss Nichol-
son. Alfred G. Vanderbilt was lean
ing against the rail of the prone
made and did not see Mrs. Nation APP
proach.
"You ought to be ashamed of
yourselves" the woman screamed at
to wear such disgraceful clothes.
Take them off, take them off at once,
and attire yourselves more modest
ly."
Alfred G. Vanderbilt hastily left
his position at the rail and came
over to where Mrs. Nation was stand
ing and, wiping her forehead with a
handkerchief, he whispered some
thing in her ear and pushed her
away. The outburst of the woman
attracted great crowd of people,
and the occupants of the Vanderbilt
box were evidently very much embar-
raised.
Mrs. Nation then turnrd her atten-
ton TO other boxes Finally she
started for the cafe, where she bore
down on a party of men who were
drinking wine. Mrs. Nation seized the
bottle and glazing at the men shouted:
ruff! You are going straight to hell.
Where is the man who sells this stuff?
Show him to me and l will tell him
what think of him!"
Mrs. Nations request was-speedily
granted by the sudden appearance of
NJ. Vile Pigus, the caterer at the
garden.
"Get out of this horrible business"
she shouted at him; "you are also
going to hell and running the bodies
and souls of men! You are dragging
them down with you! Shame on you,
shame on you'll"
The Frenchman, however, ran to
Mrs. Nation and rescued the bottle.
which she had repeatedly brandished
in the air to emphasize her remarks.
Then he pushed her out of the door.
Here the police took hold of the Kan
sas reformer and forced her out of the
building.

The Blood.

The blood is life. We derive from the blood
life, power, beauty and reason, as the doc
tors have been saying from time immemo-
rial. A healthy body, fresh appearance,
and generally all the abilities We possess
depend on that source of life. 1t is, there
fore, the duty of every sensible man to
keep the blood as pure and normal as pos
sible. Nature, in its infinite wisdom, has
given us thermometer indicating the state
OF the blood, which appeals to our reason
by giving notice of its impurity. Small erup-
tons of the skin, to which We scarcely pay
any attention, headache, ringing noises in
the ears, lassitude, sleeplessness, are gen
orally sign that the blood is not in nor
NAL state, but is filled with noxious sub.
stances. These symptoms deserve our full
attention. If more attention were paid to
these symptoms and steps taken to remove
them, then many illnesses from which We
suffer would become unknown, and the hui
man body would become stronger and health.
Ter. Attention, therefore, should be paid
to those warning signs, and the blood can
be purified and poisonous substances re.
moved from it by the use, of DR.. August
Koenig's Hamburg Drops, discovered more
than 60 years ago.

HOUSE TO SECURE WINTER EGGS.
then frame of any good stout ma
terial is made, as shown in the illus
tration. The base piece is imbed-
ded in the concrete, and the wall is
made two inches wider than the
wooden uprights, on each side of
them, and as the wall is carried up,
the uprights are inclosed in the con-
crete. The latter is made OF lime
and sand, small stones, cheap, broken
bricks and pieces of hard wood. In
fact, any hard substance may be
worked into the wall. 1t is leyeled
| up and smoothed over by the lime
and sand mixture.
At first the originator used ce-
ment in the latter mixture, but, find
ing the lime answered as well, and
cost less than one-third as much as
the cement, he abandoned the ce-
ment. When finished the walls are
smooth and white, will last life
time and harbor no vermin what
ever. In making the roof, Mr.. Geer
uses four-inch scantling placed on
edge. On top a waterproof roof is
laid. Under the rafters tongued and
grooved ceiling is nailed and the
four-inch space is packed with forest
leaves or some other inexpensive ma
terial. Double windows, with stout
shutters for the night, defy the frost.
In houses of this character, Mr..
Geer's fowls mate and lay all win
ter. February 6 he took off an in
cubator hatch of 1872 chickens from a
total installment of 225 eggs tested
down to 1919 fertile ones. He attrib-
utes the high per cent. of fertility OF
his eggs in winter to the natural
warmth of his fowls in the coucrete
houses, which is superior to the arti-
fetal warmth generated by furnace
or hot water pipes. In houses of this
kind the early-hatched pulleto and
the early molted hens lay all win
ter, little chickens thrive and grow
while the incubator is unaffected by
any change of temperature outside.

An English traveller who has visited
every nation in the world is authority
for the statement that one food is uni
versal throughout all countries.
"There is not part of the world" he
says, "where you cannot get an egg
while in western China, however, he
at first had some difficulty in getting
even eggs. The natives could not un-
derstand him, and refused to recog-
nize the pictures he drew Of eggs.
"The way got out of the difficulty"

SUGAR CURED HAMS.
Method of Sailing and Smoking
Which Has Been Tried with
Success for Years.

AT recent meeting of a farmers
institute the subject discussed was the
best method of curing and keeping
hams. All members agreed that the
quality of the meat depended in great
measure upon the kind of hogs and
the way they were cared for. Much
better meat is obtained from the pure
bred than the common scrub. In
order to be perfectly healthy they need
plenty of range, with as great variety
of feed as possible, and plenty of fresh
clear water. They should be killed in
cold frosty weather, and after scald-
ing and cleaning, hung up to cool over
night. Several methods of sailing
and smoking were presented, but the
following, which was given by farmer
who, after years of experience, has
gained the reputation of having the
best sugar-cured hams in the county,
was accepted as the most satisfac-
tory:
Cut the meat up in the morning and
shape the hams nicely. Salt lightly
to bring out the blood, and allow it to
remain day or two. Prepare brine,
using two pounds of salt, two ounces
OF saltpeter, two pounds of brown
sugar, one ounce of red pepper and
five gallons of water for each 100
pounds of meat. Let this brine, which
should be strong enough to float an
egg, stand until the ingredients have
dissolved, then place the hams in a
tight barrel and pour the brine over
them until they are covered. After
ten days pour the brine off and cover
with fresh brine prepared as the first
was. When they have been in the
brine month, take them out, wipe
them with a dry cloth, and while still
damp sprinkle powdered borax over
them, using tablespoonful to ten
pounds of meat a large pepper box
is a great help in applying it. Hang
them up and smoke with hickory chips
two or three weeks. Slip each ham
into -four sack, tie the ends securely,
and hang them up in a cool dry place
until you wish to use them. The pre-
servative qualities of borax are recog-
nized by all who have tried it, and il
is now used in all the large packing
houses. The best meat is made of
hogs weighing $50 to 200 pounds. 1t
has long been a question among pro-
gressive farmers as to whether it paid
to produce hogs weighing over 300
pounds, and we are quite certain that
when the object is to obtain meat of
superior quality it does not.-Rural
New Yorker.

AT the same time he has insured fer

this by means OF con-

WORK FOR THE CHILDREN.
Give Them a Few Hens ana Lei
Them Raise Poultry for Their
own Enjoyment.

There is no vocation which We, from
our own experience and observation,
could recommend more highly to boys
or girls on the farm than the rearing
of fine poultry. 1t is not only intensely
interesting, but healthful and profit
able. The fact is to be regretted that
more attention is not paid to this in
dustry by those who reside on large
farms. Young folks generally take
readily to the work and become very
much absorbed in it. They should,
of course, commence in a moderate
way. We commenced with one bird
IA rooster--and we found that he was
worthless without a mate, so we OBJ
tanned a hen.
Any child who is old enough to feed
his fowls regularly is old enough to
start in the poultry business. Attend
some good poultry show and see what
breed you fancy. II this variety is
suitable to your market and surround
ings, purchase either fowls or eggs OF
reliable breeder and commence work.
Prepare comfortable house for them
with yards and few bird coops, and
you will be fixed all right for the first
year.
