 Arbitration.
 G. c. Sykes of Chicago former secre- tary of the street railway commission of that city, speaking on the subject of ar bitration, said:
 .I am opposed to the idea of compul- sory arbitration, as relates to industry generally, but I differentiate between the public service corporation and the ordinary industrial corporation. The pub lie has right to demand uninterrupted street railway service To that end 1t has right to insist that everything rea- sonably possible be done to prevent strikes and lockouts. Companies, in ,ac- cepting grants, should be required to submit all labor disputes to arbitration. The same argument applies as well to lighting, telephone and water companies in the municipal fields and to railroad and telegraphic companies in the national field.
 Tt ought to be no more possible to have the street car service of a great city like New York or Chicago or St Louis or New Orleans interfered with by labor troubles than 1t would be to have the fire department out of action for one or two weeks because the men were on strike"
 Charles Francis Adams was the next speaker, and he was followed by John McMakin of the State Labor commission of New York, who said
 'It is because men don't comprehend their relations, their interdependence in this world, that troubles follow. We feel the more here in America because we progress faster. We shall have to k settle them in advance of any other na- tion, because of our advance and our progress, and 1t Is only by the method wisely taken by the leaders of capital and the leaders of the large labor or- ganizations that we shall be able to ar- rive at any satisfactory settlement of this industrial problem.' G. N. Barnes, of the Society of En- gineers of England, said:
 'T feel that very great good is being | done in bringing together men of all classes and all sections in this commu- nity to discuss these questions on the broad basis of humanity" The meeting adjourned until tomorrow.

SWORD TO ADMIRAL CLARK.
Blade to be Made by Ames Company
 of Chtcopee.

From the Springfield Republican.
 The honor of making the blade of the sword which is to be presented to Ad- eiral Clark of the United States steam ship Oregon by the people of Oregon in commemoration of the battle of Santi- ago, July 8, 1898, will probably come to a local manufacturing concern-the Ames Sword company of Chicopee. Definite steps were taken last week by the com mittee having the testimonial in charge towards selecting the design, and after looking over the specifications of the several leading manufacturing concerns of the country, it was practically decided that the blade of the sword should be made by the Chicopee concern. The de- sign favored is that of J. E. Osborn, presi- dent of the New York Academy of De- sign. The designs examined ranged in price from $9S0 to $1200, and the cost of the sword will probably be near the lat ter figure. Not only will the decoration of the scabbard be done in the best of the engrayer's art, but both sides of the fine steel blade will be suitably inscribed. On one side will be engraved: "Presented to Admiral Clark of the U. 8. s. Oregon by he People of Oregon, in Commemora,- ton of the Battle of Santiago. July 8,

NOTABLE EVENT.
The Cable Go. to Have Formal Open
 Ing of Their New Piano Store.

The holiday season will be crowded with a good many events of a social na- tufe. but one that is looked forward to v iths especial pleasure is the formal open- ing of he new store of the Cable com pany at 2O0s First avenue Wednesday and Thursday. December 10 and Il. Mir. Shell by, the local manager of the company Is determined to fit ID a piano store the duplicate of which cannot be found in the south.
 At the opening every effort will be made to eclipse anything of the kind ever given in the city before. The store will be deco rated with palms, ferns evergreens and various potted plants Memoli's or chestra has been secured and will be seated on a raised dais at the rear of the store, and will play during both days of the opening.
 Further music will be supplied by a Chase & Baker automatic piano player. The instrument will be manipulated by an artist, and some very classical pieces will 'be rendered to show the possibilities of this wonderful instrument.
 The opening will continue two days, and to every lady who visits the store during that time a handsome souvenir will be given that will be of considerable in- trinsic value and worthy of the Cable company, which has the reputation of doing nothing on cheap scale.
 As such elaborate preparations are be- ing made by Mr. Shelby for this opening 1t is thought that the store will be crowd ed both days. During the month of De- cember is a very hapry time for an occa- sion of this kind because so many are down town shopping, anyway, and 1t will be very convenient to drop in and get ac- quainted with MT. Shelby and the repre- sentatives of the Cable company in the Birmingham district.
 This company is the largest manufac- turers of pianos and organs in the world and are selling their instruments direct to the people. Their product consists of the celebrated Conover, Cable, Kfngsbury and Wellington pianos, which will each be marked at the lowest possible price during this. their first Christmas sale in Birmingham. Don't fall to attend this opening, as this big store crowded with these handsome pianos will be the great est attraction ever shown in a southern music house. z5 sS'

verdict is the largest sum ever awarded in any country in a suit for damages be- cause of death The s1OO,0OO carries in- terest from the date of the tunnel wreck. and to that is added 5000 for counsel fees. The company will to pay altogether about s1O9OO0.
 Ex-Justice William N. Cohen and Messmore Kendall were the lawyers for Mrs. Leys. MT. Kendall said yesterday that the only other verdict that compared with this one was that rendered by an English jury in favor of the heirs of a Dr. Phillips, who was killed in an ac- cident and whose family got &14 900. Not long ago western jury in this country gave the victim of severe injuries $75,- | GOO and often victims appearing in the British courts have received large dam ages for their own hurts but it is un- precedented for the heirs of dead man ] to get so much.
 Mrs. Leys, in making her complaint, de- clared that her husband had been making more than $29,00O a year, this last annual income Paving been $500 in excess of that sum. She calculated that he would have been worth s500,0O0 If he had lived to the age he should have attained according to the statistical tables. Austen G. Fox, counsel for the railroad company, said at the outset of the trial that the company admitted Its liabiliay and the question was simply one of amount. He argued, however, that MT. Leys had been "a showed that the family would never have great spender," and that experience acquired as much as $250,000, even though | the father had lived to the age of eighty.
 Besides the widow, MT. Leys left four children. The two grown sons it was shown at the trial, never did much work and that fact was dwelt on by MT. Fox said they ought to be placed in such a position that they would have to earn livelihood. The third son Is fourteen years old. and at school The youngest child is little girl.
 Up to the present time the Park Avenue tunnel disaster has resulted in verdicts eggregatipg more than S400,000 against the New York Central railroad. Among the amounts awarded were $60,000 to Henry c. Dimon, S40,0O0 to D. c. Hins- dale, $38500 to Winifred Stutz, $20,0 GOO to Oscar Meyrowitz, ,5OO to Peter Mur- William E. Howard, Mrs. William E. Howard Mabel Newman Sadie Scott, Arthur Whiteley, A. F. Mills, Frank Crosby, and Dr. Arthur Dudley In ad- | dition to the above there have been sev- | eral settlements out of court. At the start of Mrs. Ley's suit MT. Fox an- nounced that he and the lawyers for the plaintiff had tried in vain to agree on a settlement.

IS HERoIsM ON THE INcREAsEa
How pr. Weir Mitchell Answers the
 Question.


 From the Century for December.
 Some three years ago. in talk among friends, a discussion arose as to whether the civilized world was improving in altruism. The talk at last narrowed to and woman are any more alruistic in their tendencies than they of, we may say, the seventeenth century.
 The question was not of the sacifices involved in any form of charity in giv- ing money. but simply whether self-risk- ing heroism is. or is not on the increase "a very hard question to answer. Most of us believed that 1t was but agreed about the difficulty of obtaining satisfac- tory proof.
 It occurred to me later that to secure some statistical relation of the amount of heroic conduct in everyday life might perhaps be of value. I therefore engaged one of the clipping agencies to send me for a year the reports of perilous self devotion to be found in the American daily papers. The net thus cast was large, but by no means could be made to catch all even of the published cases. I myself saw from time to time a num- Der in the papers which were not among the clippings sent. The most important Journals are supposed to have been searched; but there are some 10000 pa- pers printed in the United States, most of them weekly or half-weekly.
 To include all of these was past hope. Moreover. in private life occur, as every one knows, numerous examples of heroic endeavor which never are within reach of the reporter. Indeed 1t is true that they who do for their fellows acts which involve self-risks are usually those who avoid public appreciation.
 Notwithstanding these limitations of my quest, found I had as the product of my order a mass of matter requiring care and restraint in the use made of it. It became. indeed. so large that at the end of ten months called halt, had the clippings pasted in books, and only of late have had the courage to deal with them.
