EXPECT COMPROMISE
At BENNING ABATIOIR
Indications Are That Work
Will Resume Tomorrow.
MORE PAY BUT SAME HOURS
This is Ultinatum Of the Employers
and Will Probably Be
Accepted.
MORE PAY BUT SAME HOURS

Every indication points TO the prob
ability that the existing differences be-
tween wholesale meat dealers, and mem
bers of the Amalgamated Meat Cut
tiers and Butcher Workmen, will end to-
day, and that work will be resumed at
the Benning abattoir tomorrow morning.
Three meetings were held yesterday
by members of the union, who had re-
ceived the ultimatum of the Wholesale
dealers. This was in the form of a
compromise on the part of the latter.
who offered the men Is per cent advance
IN wages, and no change in hours This
is not according TO the unions demand
which was for even greater concessions
at eight hours a day. Several days ago
the men agreed, through an executive
committee, TO work at their old time, ten
hours day, but no agreement could be
reached as TO wages.
The increase offered by the wholesale
dealers, and which it Is believed will be
accepted by the union men. is therefore
a compromise. President Fairfax, of the
union, said last night that he believed
confidently the final adjustment of the
trouble would be effected today. Local
union men are working for III. cents
an hour less than their associates In
Chicago. and. although he had no hope
of bringing the wages here up to that
Of the Chicago men. he believes that the
increase will prove satisfactory to union
members.

Danes and Germans.

The character and temperament or
the population Of North Schleswig are
very quiet and peaceable. As an Off
cial Prussian record of criminal cases
states, there is in the whole German
empire no single province in which so
few sentences are passed by the crimi-
nal Judges as in North Schleswig.
There were only half the Prussian
average Of theft cases and cases OF
robbery with murder and murderous as
sault. These favorable crime statistics
are due principally to the good bring
ing up and intelligence of the middle
and lower classes as well as to the cor
dial and harmonious family life of the
Danish population. Among the indivi-
dual members of the family there al
ways exists a consistently affectionate
and hearty tone in their intercourse
with one another. / visited many the
aires, restaurants and inns, which
were principally frequented by the
Danish inhabitants, but nowhere saw
an improper action nor an i'll manner
ed offence. The intercourse between
master and servant is also always
friendly and polite.-Nineteenth Cen

M.aleal rrIumphs Vet to come.

Scientific medicine is only in its in
fancy. Its progress will prolong more
and more markedly the average age OF
life by removing the diseases that play
havoc during childhood and ADDE'S
cence. For example,, cholera infan-
tum. the terrors of mothers during the
second summer, has within the year
delivered up its cause to a medical
student DuvaD of the University OF
PENNSYLVANIA, working under the d.
rection of Professor Flexner. With the
examples of Vienna and Munich be-
fore us we realize the fate of typhoid
fever, which proves the pitfall OF SO
many an ambitious adult. With
typhoid will disappear its most nota-
BILE .sequela, gallstones.
When the organisms themselves
cannot be directly handled the source
of contagion will be learned and the
diseases thus avoided. Our now con-
slant enemies. tonsilitis, influenza and
tuberculosis, will find II impossible to
progress when people realize the un-
cleanliness of handkerchiefs and come
to the use of paper napkins. Diphthe-
ria and whooping cough (and probably
other diseases) will have one source
of contagion removed when pet dogs
and cats are kept away from children
or carefully held within doors. lnven-
tons outside the province of medicine
will be by no means without influence.
We have every reason TO believe from
analogy that flies are frequent medi-
UNI of transferring contagious dis
eases. Flies breed, practically only in
stables, and the replacing the horse
by the automobile means their exter-
mination.-Dr Joseph Walsh in Book
lovers Magazine.

AIRsHIPs OF rnr FUTURE.
Science Of Aeronautics Is Advancing
with Great Strides.

Win Great StrioeS.
Wireless telegraphy has not yet
reached the acme OF perfection. al
though messages are readily sent aud
received by this wonderful system
And yet the world already takes the
invention Of wireless telegraphy as a
matter of course. In this age of great
achievement and discovery it seems
as IL nothing is too stupendous for
man to undertake, and that failure to
evolve something useful as well as
wonderful is the exception, not the
rule. Some things that have been
attempted have not been brought to
perfection yet, but there is nothing
discouraging in this. Obstacles serve
only to spur human genius to renewed
action and greater exertion. We trav-
ell by land and sea at a rate of speed
that one hundred years ago would
have been called the result Of witch
craft. We do not travel through the
air with equal facility at present, but
we may do so within a few years, as
the efforts Of men Of brains along this
line are certain to gain the mastery
of the air as they have Of the Land
and sea.
Those who scoff at the student OF
aerial navigation and scout the idea OF
success attending the efforts of the
men who seek to discover the secret
of flying may live to see the heavens
dotted with ships sailing as placidly
through the air as. vessels now nayi-
gate the seas. In the opinion OF the
United States Commissioner of Pat
ents the dirigible balloon or the aero
plane will be successfully evolved dur
ing the year 1904. This prediction
may be based on false premises. but
there can be no gainsaying the TACT
that great strides in the direction OF
aerial navigation will be made during
the present year. Yankee ingenuity
will vie with foreign in an effort to
produce an air ship that will not only
travel at good rate of speed with the
wind but be perfectly controllable.-

The Name of a Mountain.

1t is reported that the courts will
have an opportunity to decide whether
Tacoma or Rainier is the proper name
for Washington's famous mountain.
An advertising solicitor, who must
have been wofully ignorant Of the local
interest in the name of the mountain,
attempted to collect pay for an adyer-
tisement Of a Tacoma man, while his
pamphlet captioned the mountain as
Mount Rainier. He now realizes his
mistake, but can be comforted by the
thought that he might have captioned
It Mount Tacoma and attempted to
collect the bills for his Seattle adver-
tisements. The result of such an er-
TOR is appalling to imagine. The ad-
vertising man may win out on his suit.
but the verdict will not change the
name of the mountain so far as 1t Is
used by the Tacoma people.-Portland

Sheriff Dreger sWill hold Edward

robbing thirteenp box cap passengers
on Great Northern train and killing
Cotton c. Gordon. The evidence taken
by the coroner's jury and some addi-

A consistent alibi Is made out by the
suspects and their statements are cor
roborated by hotel keepers and others
who claim to have seen the men on the
night when the crimes in question
were committed. ~
Deputy Sheriff George 10th, who
has been working on the case, states
that he believes ;Bielke is wanted in
another part Of the country for post
office robbery. He is not sufficiently
certain of this, however to take steps
toward returning him there, but this
suspicion is understood to be one of
the causes for holding the men in the
county Jail. 1rke s

PARADISE LOST" TONIGHT
PhiIharmonlcs VIII Sing oratorio at Inte

PhiIharmonlcs Will Sing oratorio at Inter-
national Auditorium.
Tonight at the International Auditor
iun, the Philharmonic club will present
the great oratorio, Paradise Lost" by the
French composer Theodore Lubois. The
text is by Edward Blau and has been
translated to English by DR.. TIL. Baker.
The story lis told in a very dramatic vein
and the music likewise is such a departure
from the usual oratorio that the work has
been styled by the critics as d sacred
opera.
Part first deals with the revolt against
the Lord by Satan and his followers, chief
among whom are Uriel, Belia1 and Moloch.
They are defeated by the heavenly host
led by the archangel, Michael, and the
first part is finished by a. triumphant VIC
toria and hosanna chorus which is one
of the most striking numbers in the work
and one Of the best Of its kind ever writ
ten.
Part II. is enacted in hell, where the
plan for revenge is laid and Satan sets
forth to tempt Adam and Eve.
Part III. has an Introductory orchestral
number depicting the serene loneliness OF
Paradise, a tone picture which must be
heard to be appreciated in its full value.
The story of the plot goes on to tell of the
temptation, the eating Of the forbidden
fruit and finally the triumph Of Satan over
the man and woman.
Part w., the judgment, opens with a
chorus Of seraphim and recitative by the
archangel who descends to earth to expel
Adam and Eve from Paradise. In the final
number the son pronOunces the prediction
of hope and salvation, the composition end
ing with a grand chorus Of alteration and
praise.
| The characters will be taken by the fol-
lowing soloists:

prize, scoring 81. The high quality of
the samples tested is shown by the
fact that the $50 entries averaged 93.1
per cent, and they were scored by Sam

BIG TRADE IN AUTOS
Minneapolis Dealers Do . Business Of
About $500, 900 in Season
Just Closed.
Of the 425 Machines Sold Fully 225.
Remained in the
City.

During the season of 903 which is
definitely closed by the present cold
snap thede have been invested thru
Minneapolis automobile dealers APP
proximately 100000, which is more
than 100 per cent more than the same
agencies received last year and is prob
ably not within 100 per cent of the
business they will do next season.
Reports from the various local deal
ears in bubbles indicate that there
have been sold IN Minneapolis this year
425 machines of all sorts, having an
average selling price Of $1,40O, making
a total Of $595,000. or these machines
probably 225 remained In the city, as
there are now on record with Boiler
Inspector d. p. Steele $50 machines,
and there were not more than 1875
automobiles in the city prior to Jan. i,
when they began to be licensed.
While it is rather difficult to de-
termine what the average price of
automobiles sold here is, because they
up, the average used in estimating the
total sales in the local market this
season is that arrived at by Harry E.
Pence of the Pence Automobile COM
pany, altho some agents regard 81 200
or even $1,000 as a figure nearer the
average price. But in spite Of the
large number Of Oldsmobiles and other
coflsiderab bic investment in heavy ma
chimes, notably in the Wintons, which
average $4,000. Even the prices Of the
lighter machines have held up
strongly.
Prices Going Up.
TN my opinion automobiles will be
more expensive instead Of cheaper
said Arthur f. Chase, who conducts a
big agency. while we have more ma
chimes coming which we expect to sell
before the first of the year, and while
thoro sportsmen enjoy riding in this
weather as much as at any time, next
season will see even a; fiercer demand
for machines and, possibly, a conse-
quent stiffening in price"
It is generally agreed that because
of the unusual amount Of wet weather
this summer the season has not been
favorable to the automobile business
and that in consequence of the in
creasing popularity Of the sport and
the probably improved weather condi-
tons of next season the record made
this year will be badly fractured.
There are not more than 700 auto
mobiles in the state,<an Of these fully
half are in Minneapolis, which is the
autonlobiling center Of the northwest.
Next seasons customers will come
here to buy as they have before" said
a prominent dealer in discussing the
promising outlook.
