TUE ANNOUNCEMENT that an attempt
will be made at the meeting OF the
American Federation of Labor nov in
session in Boston to form afiliation with
one of the political parties of the day,
and the statement that resolution VIII
be introduced at the session pledging the
federation to the cause of socialism,
are straws which infallibly show from
which quarter the next great Poh1lca'
disturbance will come. Socialism has
for long time been vigorous exotic,
and present conditions in the United
States show but too plainly that this
country is destined to be great battle
ground on which its ideas will prevail
or meet their Waterloo. 1t is useless
to attempt to warn the great masses OF
q nation. They have been losing their
heads since the dawn Of history, and
scenes which have occurred before are
liable to occur again. Socialists have
long searched for hobby upon which
TO ride into power, and have ever look
ed 20 the toiling millions as most sus-
ceptible to their wiles. Socialisiic
Establishments have failed heretofore to
nroduce the effects desired, but the cham
pions of such doctrines have bided their
time. aud conditions are now about ripe
for the consummation of their lifelong
purpose. The tendency of considera-
bic percentage of the people OF the coun-
try toward socialism has caused serious
reyeries to many, although their fears
were regarded with derision by others.
The fact, however, is apparent that an
ATTEMPT is to be made to form coali-
ton between organized labor OF the
country and the sOcialistic party, and
should the aims of the leaders OF the
movement be successful it is safe to say
that thousands of disgruntled people IN
the United States as well as many OF the
dissatisfied of the two great parties Will
rush into it. The outcome may or may
not be problematical, but that there Is
cause for apprehension should be appar-
ent to all. The toiling milliOns-bone
and sinew of the ccuntry--should nave
the encouragement and sympathy of all (;
bnt when their leaders invoke the aid of
political parties who have proven curse
TO other nations the rank and file should
consider whittier they are drifting.

Kaiser's Ailment Causes Anxiety

Berlin, Nov. 10.-The official bulletin
on the Kaiseris condition, issued this
morning, continues to he reassuring
The bulletin reads: ''The improve
ment iu the state Of the Kaiser's wound
continues. His majesty went for walk
this morning"
London, Nov. 10.-The European
papers today are very suspicious of the
ailment of Emperor William, who has
had polypus removed from his larynx,
and many of the papers again express
the fear that the growth is of a cancer
Gus nature. At various periods during
the past seven years the Kaiser's health
has caused anxiety, and the cancerous
tendency behind his right ear has more
than once shown an angry form.
Special medicaments were procured from
London at the time these attacks
were minimized. but now it is feared by
many that they were but the first stages
of a disease which must eventually end
the monarch career. 1t is also thought
now that it was this complaint which
has been the cause of the KaiseTs irrita-
bility which has often led him to make
extraordinary utterances. The Birming.
ham Post, reviewing these things, expects
to hear the rumors revived in Berlin
that 'the end may be found in the abb
dication of the Emperor"

Fifty-Eighth Congress.
SENATE.

Washington, Nov. l0.-The scene in
the Senate chamber today was in marked
contrast to that of yesterday. There
was an absence of flowers, and but a
sprinkIing of spectators in the galleries,
though the representation of members on
the floor was heavy. Rev. Mr.. Lawrence
Hunt, of the Washington Heights
Presbyterian Church, invoked divine
blessing.
Mr.. Hoar and Mr.. German, selected
at yesterdays session to wait upon the
President and inform him that Congress
was in session, reported that the Presi
dent would communicate later in writ
ing. At that moment Mr.. Barnes, the
Presidents messenger, entered the
chamber and delivered the message ad-
vocating reciprocity with Cuba. 1t was
Immediately read by Mr.. Bennett, secre-
tary of the Senate aud given close at
tention. Each Senator was provided
with printed copy.
The President also transmitted a copy
of the reciprocity treaty which, upon
motion of Mr.. Cullom, was referred to
the committee on foreign relations.

There were few members not in their
seats when the gavel fell, but the public
galleries were filed to oyerhowing.
Mr.. Tawney of the committee to in
form the President that Congress had
convened, reported that the President
would Immediately transmit his mes

A joint resolution, making an APP
preparation to pay the mileage of the

and unanimously passed
At 1916, Assistant Secretary Barnes,
of the White House, presented the
Presidents message to Congress, deal
ing with the Cuban legislation desired.
It's reading was at once begun.
Speaker Cannon after the reading of
the Presidents message announced the
appointments to the committees on rules
and mileage.
Resolutions of respect were then adop-
ted in memory of Representatives Foer-
derer, of Pennsylvania, and Boreing, of
Kentucky, who died during the recess,
and then the House adjourned till tomor-

THE REMOVAL of a foreign growth
from the throat of Emperor William OF
Germany has naturally caused uneasi-
ness in that country, Notwithstanding
avowals Of the physicians that the poly
pus was of benign nature. The state
ment made by the physicians who at
tended bis father are recalled. 1t was at
first pretended that his malady' was not
dangerous, although it soon resulted in
death. His mother also died of cancer,
and his grandmother, Augusta, was also
afflicted. The Emperor's aunt, the
Grand Duchess of Baden, as is well
known in Germany, is suffering from the
same malady. twill take months to
decide whether the fears now entertained
are unfounded. AllhoPe they will prove
groundless and that the gloom now hang
ing over the royal household may soon
give place to more cheerful conditions.

CONVERTED AT A FUNERAL.-The
Baker family, father and seven sons,
were the infidels of the village of Michi-
gantown, Ind. They we're, but the seven
now living are infdels no more. The
Youngest son, E. E. Baker, died. His
funeral took place last Friday. Al
though they had always proclaimed their
disbelief in any religion, the Bakers
decided, in Difference to the community's
sense of the proprieties, to call in a min
lister for the Funeral services. The six
surviving brothers acted as pallbearers.
As the minister was about to begin
James Puscifal, a brother-in-law of the
Baker boys, devout church member,
interrupted. II want to say a few
words first" he said. Turning to Baker
and his sons he exhorted them to take
the lesson of the young man to their
hearts. He recounted how they and
even the one lying dead had scofed at
his religion and reviled him for believ-
ing in God. Can you look at this son,
this tbroher whom you loved and believe
that there is no hereafter for himT'
cried Purcifal. AS if moved by one i'm
pulse, the seven, atheists knelt by the
coffin and joined in prayer and a pro-
fession of conversion.

WANT FRAUDS PRoBED.-A consul
tation among the democratic Senators
reveals that there is perfect agreement
that the disclosure of fraud in the Gov
eminent service calls for thorough in
vestigation by Congress. The belief is
expressed that the disclosures in the
Postoffice Department, the Land Office
and elsewhere in the Government service
warrant the suspicion that the Govern
meat service is honeycombed with frapd
of greater or less proportion. IL is said
to be felt that the Investigation by Officials
of the departments concerned necessarily
must beincomplete and cannot be thor
oughly satisfactory to Congress nor to
the country at large. The democrats in
the Senate will insist, therefore, upon
the appointment of investigating COM
mittees or the authorization of inyestiga-
tons by committees existing.

A BRUTAL MURDER.-Several days
ago the charred remains of Lillian Shaw
mulatto, the wife of former we'll
known colored resident of Bristol, were
found under a log-heap in johnson
county, Tenn, near the Virginia line.
The woman had left Bristol to join her
husband in Chicago. Not showing up
in Illinois a search was instituted,
which. resulted in finding heap of
blackened bones and charred flesh at a
lonely spot. Finley Preston, young
negro, was arrested on suspicion and
placed in Jail. Yesterday Preston made
a confession of the crime and implicated
Jonah Talley and America Phillips, the
latter a mulatto woman. Preston says
he and Talley shot the Shaw woman to
death, having been promised 500 By
the Phillips woman to put her out OF
the way. After killing the woman her
body was cut into quarters and carried
in barrel several miles into the woods,
where it was slowly burned. The
parties mentioned are in Jail at Noun
tain City. Preston and Talley claim
the Phillips woman failed to pay them
for the lob.

Photographic plate is kept at a high
pitch by frequent new observations and

three distinct types of radiation emanat-

first he calls the alpha rays. which con-

a very high velocity; the second are the

The value of jewels and precious
stones imported into the United States
is often said to be the best barometer
of the country's prosperity II this be
admitted one must acknowledge that the
fiscal year which ended with the first
half of 1903 was the most prosperous in
the history of the country, for the value
OF the precious stones imported during
that period was far in excess of any
thing previously recorded. According to
the compilation of the government Of
ficials which has just been completed.
diamonds and other precious stones of
a value exceeding thirty million dollars
were brought into the United States be-
tween June 80, 1902, and June 80, Ioo3
and even this enormous total is prob
ably below the actual value, for figures
are taken from the invoices of the i'm
porters, who are not likely to overvalue
packages on which they must pay high
import duty.

A Story About Shelley, the Poet.

The poet Shelley called one afternoon
upon Mrs Southy and was offered a cup
of tea, which he accepted. Then a plate
of tea cakes was handed him, but these
he declined.
A slice of bread might have been well
come to the Spartan youth, but hot tea
cakes, heaped up in a scandalous pro-
fusion blushing with currants, shocked
him. He watched Southy, who was hun
CRY and liked tea cakes, clearing his plate
with evident enjoyment, and at last said ::
why, Southy, am ashamed OF you !!
1t is awful to see such a man as you
greediy devouring this nasty stuff"
Mp Southy listened in angry amaze
ment..
What right have you, Mr.. Shelley, to
call my tea cakes. which l made myself,
nasty? You ought to be ashamed OF
yourselfW p
Mr.. Shelley Immediately took up a
cake and, finding it good, began to eat as
greedily as Southey himself.
Mrs. Southy was paciied and promised
the recipe to the poet, who declared that
he intended to have hot tea cakes every
evening forever"

In Love with Senator Frye I

They are telling this story at Poland
Spring on Senator Frye. Many years
ago Frye was attorney for brother of
Sister Aurela, the Shaker sister-saintly
woman of such sweet and serene life.
Sister Aurelia has never forgotten it
and friendship has been lifelong be-
tween the senator and the Shaker.
The other day Sister Aurelia came over
Ito Poland Spring for her usual sale in
the hotel Office.
One of the first callers was Frye, who
thought to crack joke in the presence
lof few friends on the blushing sister
|of close to three score and ten years.
Sister Aurelia," said the senator,
now tell us truly-no jokng-were you
never in love with any mani"
The sister looked up quickly and with
a pretty twinkle under the gray bonnet,
said:
IF I ever was in love with any man,
|t was with Senator Frye"
The laugh went around the company,
and pretty soon every one at Poland was
telling the story.
