Temple for Chicago Labor Unions.

A labor temple in which all the la
Dor unions of Chicago may have COM
modious and suitable quarters is
made possible by an offer to President
James H. Bowman of the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor, by firm of real
estate dealers.
The real estate firm offers in letter
sent to Mr.. Bowman to erect large
and beautiful builesng for the exclu-
sive use of labor organizations and
containing several halls suitable for
balls and mass meetings. The condi-
lions on which this offer is made are
simple. 1t is requested that the labor
unions get together and decide how
much room each one will have to be
guaranteed by the Chicago Federation
of Labor.
The lease to. the property will be
drawn up in such a manner that the
unions will have no interference from
outsiders. In other words, the build
ing will practically be their own for
as many years as the lease runs.

Briquettes from Wood Waste.

The manufacture and carbonization
of briquettes. made from waste lum-
Der, is being successfully carried out
at the Skonvik Sawmills, in Sweden.
An analysis Of the briquettes at the
Royal Technical High School show
that the briquette coal is pure char
coal, free from extraneous matter and
possessing great solidity and density.
A hectoliter of briquette coal, con-
tanning 9.4 per cent Of water, weighs
1873 kilos, as compared with 1873 kilos
for ordinary sawmill charcoal with the
same amount Of moisture. 1t is also
only one-third the bulk of ordinary
charcoal.

1t is even predicted that 1t will hang
and that silks and laces will trail their
costly lengths upon the pavements.
That this is probably correct, prophecy
can be gathered by the fact that the
French pictures show the women OF
next spring walking through streets
with skirts dragging.
For the present we have the mouse
lift, which elevates the skirts very
nicely, and the side lift, which brings
them we'll up to the knees. The drop
skirt fulfills it's self-appointed mission
of dropping and resembling a dress
skirt.
The sheath skirt requires the back
lift; one full-handed clutch below the
waist line lifts it from the street all
the way around.
Other styles there will be many, but
it is for the gradually lifting curtain OF
1902 to reveal them.

Extensive Riding.

The most expensive season tickets in
the world, perhaps, are those issued
by the Congo Railway Co. The first
class single fare for journey of about
$50 miles is 500. Latterly this COM
pany has issued season tickets avail
able for one year at the following
rates: For four return journeys, $475;
for eight return journeys, $685., and
for twelve return journeys, 1855. Nat
urally the issue of these tickets is very
limited, so far only four having been
delivered, but application for a fifth
has been made. They are not printed,
but written out on piece Of card
board, four inches by six inches, folded
in two; on one side, the date and name
of holder are inserted and the other is
divided into squares, where the begin
ming and end Of each journey is filed

In West Philadelphia last week four
men answered an advertisement calling
for man to do general homework
Of the four men who made application
for the place one was Chinaman, one
a colored man who had been porter in
a club, one a retired sailor and the
other a widower. The man who ad-
vertised would not tell which of the
men he engaged, but he was not 10th
to express his preference for a man to
do the work rather than woman
With his wife and daughter he had
lived in Japan and in China, where they
depend entirely on men.

more attractive feature of woman's
gown,
It is used in the Innings Of all frocks
for dressy occasions. And the latest
French wrinkle" is to stuff the hol-
low, just at the front Of the shoulders,
with bag in which there lies a deal
of violet sachet.
Muffs are also perfumed with these
same little bags. The French make
these little sachets as much feature
Of good gowning as they do OF good
Innings, says the Philadelphia Press.
Perfumed flannel is one way, and
Spanish leather is an excellent but ex-
pensive fashion. A few drops of am
bergris are put on absorbent cotton
and placed in the gown. This Is the
latest and the most expensive perfume
of all.

Krupp and Essen.


"The old lady" Herr Krupp's
mother. managed the small business
affairs, while Alfred stepped into the
shop, rolled up his sleeves, worked all
day with his arms, and then until mid
night with his brain, says the Out
look. They lived in small cottage,
which is still standing in the factory,
and which he did not exchange for a
better home until long after his mar
riage. / now quote Mr.. Krupp's own
words uttered on the twenty-fifth an
niversary of the founding of the fac
tory:
From my 14th year I had the care
Of a family father during the day,
added to hard work at the factory, and
at night had to study how to overcome
the difficulties in the way; during this
period lived on potatoes, bread and
coffee, and scant portions of meat, and
toiled until late in the night; for
twenty-five years l struggled thus,
until conditions grew a little easier.
MY last remembrance of that period is
the growing danger of total ruin, and
my endurance, suffering and hard Ia
Dor to avert the calamity; and l say
all this for the encouragement Oh
young men who have nothing, are
nothing, and want to get something
and be somebody"
In 1882 the factory gave employment
to only ten men; at the time OF Mr..
Krupp's death over 10000 men were
employed in and about Essen, In the
factory, and the adjoining mines.

Evidence of the deplorable state OF
some women in England is given in a
graphic illustration by the London
Sphere, showing the women chain
makers of Cradley Heath at work.
But Of course 1t is not from choice
that women labor, and it must be
strange indeed, to find them working
at the anvil-an employment that
properly, and by all dictates of HUI
manity, belongs to the sphere of man.
In 1.-THE White Slaves of England" R.
H. Sherard has given lurid picture
of tb1nxoman chainmakers. Cradley
Heath, located in the Black Country, is
the great center of the chain industry.
There 1000 tons Of chains are turned
out every week, from the huge four
inch mooring cables down to dog
chains.

Artificial Marble.

Manufacturers are actually making
marble by the same process by which
nature makes 1t, only in few weeks
instead of few thousand years, says
the London Builder. They take a
rather soft limestone and chemically
permeate it with various coloring
matter. which sink into the stone and
are not a mere surface coloring, as in
seagliola. The completed material
takes fine polish, and many OF the
specimens are of beautiful color and
marking. Used as veneer it is about
one-third the price of natures marble.

Didn't Want the Inyesti8a-

ThOu3ht he Did,

For the past SIX months John
McCabe of the Observer, (and
the Logan gang) has been howl
ing himself black in the face for
an investigation of the County
finances. The Board of Super
visors thought he was i'm earnest
SO they hired Brooks Reed, an en-
pert accountant to make q thor
ough examination of ALL THE
COUNTY OFFICERS, without fear or
favor for anyone. No sooner had
they done this than the Logan
gang commenced moving heaven
and earth to have the Board of
Supervisors removed and new
board appointed, so that they
could hire an expert that would
examine only what the Logan
gang wanted examined. Can it be
that the gang is AFRAID TO HAVE
\ THOROUGH EXAMINATION OF ALL
THE OFFICERS.
Guess Bro McCabe didn't want
the examination as bad as he
thought he did. Let the exami-
ton proceed and let it be thor
ough in EVERY OFFICE in THE
COUNTY.

may have wanted Supervisor KEEL

have let some other Ioganite
sign the petition for his removal.
