Home for Union Printers.

In the meantime IL had been agreed 10
establish home for union printers who
were incapacitated for work through
sickness, old age, or other causes, the
site for which. a tract of eighty acres.
situated one mile from Colorado Springs,
was donated by Louis Enrich. of Denver.
The main building at the home, of
white lava stone, with red sandstone
trimmings. was completed in 1892, at a
cost Of sT0,0 900, and the dedicatory exer-
cises were participated in by men of
national prominence, including the gov
ernor of Colorado. Senator GalIincer,
Mr. Childs, and the officials of the union.
Since that time several additional
buildings, including hospital annex. at
a cost OF $4,000, have been erected, and
all the advantages and comforts known
to an institution OF this characteristic
only one in the country owned by a
labor organization-are to be found
there. The average number OF inmates
is about one hundred. and the cost to
the union for their maintenance Is
about $50 per month each. A pension of
80 cents per week is given each inmate,
and an additional so cents TO those who
assist in caring for the grounds and
buildings. The home farm provides. in
a great measure, the meat, vegetables,
butter, chickens, eggs, etc, necessary
for its consumption.

known to members of the craft
everywhere simply as the 81. T. IT," will
be held in Washington the coming week
at The Columbia Theater, where it will
assemble at O'Clock tomorrow morn
ing.
The convention will remain in ses-
sion for six days, and headquarters has
been established at the Ebbitt House.
About 300 delegates will be in attend
ance, representing a membership of over
$4,000. Among the questions which will
receive the most consideration by the
convention will be the general move
ment for eight hours, by the book and
job men, arbitration propositions, rules
governing apprentices, the strike
trouble at Atlanta and the Los Angeles
controversy.
The Ladies' Auxiliary.
The Ladies' Auxiliary. composed of
woman printers and the mothers, wives,
daughters. and sisters of printers. which
was organized at the golden jubilee con-
vention of the 1. T. L. at Cincinnati last
year. will also hold sessions during the
week at the Ebbitt House. The pur-
pose of this organization is 10 assist
the printers in their efforts to bring
about better conditions and to advance
the cause of organized labor generally
by buying only union-made goods, and
patronizing employers of union labor
exclusively.
In point OF age the Typographical
Union is one of the pioneers in the in
dustrial field. and in point of fnteili-
gence and influence it is considered 10
he the leader. Its jurisdiction en-
braces the United States, the British pro-
vinces. Alaska, Porto Rico. and Hawaii.
It has gone through all the evolutions
in the printing business brought about
by modern inventions. on account OF
which wholesale reductions in forces re-
suited, but it remains today stronger
and more prosperous than ever before in
its history.
The International general officers are
as follows: President, James NJ Lynch.
of Syracuse, n. Y; first vice president,
c. z. Hawkes.. Chicago: second vice
president, Hugo Miller, indianapolis;
third vice president, James J. Muleahy
St. Louis; fifth vice-president, c. S.
Walls, New York; sixth vice president
p. C. Nuernberger, Chicago; secretary
4 treasurer, J. W. Brentwood, Denver. The
headquarters of the organization is al
Indianapolis.
Allied with the International Typo
graphical Union are five other branches
4 of the printing business, which are or
gained under separate charters. as FOL
lows: German American, Photo Engrav-
ers, Mailers, Typefounders, and News
paper Writers The presidents Of these
branches also serve as vice presidents o.
the international organization, and have
a vote in the executive council on ques-
4 tions affecting their craft, the prioter-
4 members Of the council being the presi-
4 dent, secretary, and first and second
4 vice presidents.

Its Object and Aims.

The late Edward T. Plank. who served
as international president for several
terms, thus describes the objects and
aims ot the union:
I'VE are united for the purpose
of moral, mental, and material i'm
provement and progress; for the purpose
of assisting each other in the mainte-
nance Of the just and equitable rights
and privileges of the individual printer
in obtaining a fair remuneration for his
services; for the purpose of creating
and cementing the bonds of friendship
and brotherhood that should exist be-
tween all men, and especially between
those of a distinctive craft; for the
purpose OF giving proper direction and
effect to our benevolent feelings in car
ing for our sick ana distressed crafts
men, and paying proper respect to the
memory of our brothers in the per-
Torrance Nof the last sad rites over the
mute remains of those from whom the
spark of life has departed"
Has Distinguished Friends.
In this country more famous men have
sprung from the ranks of the printers
than from any other craftsmen, and
since the time OF Benjamin Franklin
they have not lacked for champions
among distinguished statesmen. There
has scarcely been a session OF Congress
that has not contained many members of
this craft, and the union has found in
them many strong supporters.
Among those who affiliated with the
union during their lifetime. and whose
memory is revered by every union
printer in the land, are Horace Greeley
and Amos J. Cummings, both of whom
were famous newspaper men before they
entered Congress. Mr. Greeley was the
first president of New York Union No. 6,

NALL WILL NOT RUN.
Says His Information from Farm.
ing Element from all Over
the State is
That Hubert Vreeland Will be Nomi-
mated by Big Vote for Commits
sionsr Of Agriculture.

Col. Ion Is. Nall, State Commits
sioner of Agriculture, who for 30
years has been one of the foremost
agriculturists in the State, and
who is conceded to be one of the
most thoroughly posted men as to
farming interests in Kentucky,
has announced to his friends that
at the expiration of his present
term of office he will return to his
old home to live. Under the Con
stitution he is not eligible for re-
election, and will return TO private
life. Col. Nall has'organized more
farmers institutes than any other
Commissioner the State ever had,
and he has been one of the leaders
in the good roads movement.
Col. Nall, in an interview last
weeS, said he was taking no active
part in the selection of his success
sor, as that was duty which de-
volved upon the Democratic farm
ers of the State, but when asked
for his opinion on the race he said
he personally was going to vote
for Hubert Vreelqnd because he
beljed him TO be not only the best
qualified, but by far more ag-
gressive man than the others, and
10y reason of his experience as as
sistant in charge OF the Office
would not have to consume his
time learning the routine, and
would be in a better position next
winter to secure favorable lsgisla-
ton for the farmer, such as
good roads and many other things
that are needed, with all of VIII CHI
he is thoroughly conversant. Col.
Nall said that from what he could
hear from the farmers and others,
with whom he came in contact,
there was not the slightest doubt
in his mind about the nomination
of Mr.. Vreeland by one of the lar
gest majorities that would be re-
ceived in any of the races for state
offices.

Mr. MstheY of the Aurora Foun-
dry and Machine company of Au-
rora, Mo, sometime since request
ed that a quantity of ore be
shipped to them for concentration
in their small experimental plant
of jigs. This was done and at the
same time a like quantity was
shipped to other concentrating
people for separation by differ
emit class of machinery. The ore
is zinc blende in a clay Inatrix
and generally the blende is so
completely covered by the clay
that water is necessary to show the
zinc. Whether water was scarce
at Aurora, or whatever the diff
Guilty, Mr.. Mathey did not think
il worth while to crush and at
tempt its separation, stating that
in his judgment it did not contain
any zinc. To show how doctors
differ, the Overstrom tables. hand
ling the same material found 81
per cent of zinc blende in this
clayey dirt, the same that Mathey's
judgment pronounced innocent of
zinc. Again, a hand washing on a
porcelain PLAGUE returned value
somewhat in excess of the tables,
some 33 per cent. 1t is evident
the medicine Mr.. Mathey pre-
scribes for all classes of zinc trou-
bles is not specific, and that in
many cases Mr.. Mathews treat
ment should be supplemented with
the prescription of other ore doc
tors, or at least that he should be
sure of his diagnosis before pre-
scribing.

At 500 90 per ton for lead ore,
the Kentucky Fluor Spar compa

located the third great vein in the

said that this veL should produce
lead ore in abundance.
At the present price of lead ore

every working day will pay each
lot owher and holder of $1,000
worth of stock over four hundred
dollars yearly. From an invest
ment of fifty dollars for a first
class 50x150 city lot and $1,000 in
the mining company's stock, four
hundred dollars yearly dividends
or 800 per cent on the investment
of $50 gives a slight idea of the
