FROM LABORER TO ARTIST.
Ron caaomOwski, Recently an I'm.
known In RHAr.a, Secures
Place in Paris Salon.

The most noticed work in the French
artists salon, just opened, is that of a
man who recently was an unknown
workman toiling for IS cents day in
Russia on the border of the Black sea.
He is Ronchomowski, the reputed fab
ricater of the much talked-of tiara Of
Saltaphernes, which, until it's genuine
ness was questioned, had place among
the treasured antiques of state mu-
scum.
Ronch omowski exhibits in the salon
a sarcaphagus of exquisite workman
ship, with designs Cd the sides repre-
senting six epochs in human life. The
figures, almost microscopic, are won
derfully executed. Inside is a golden
skeleton box ornamented with flowers.
garlands and skulls Before knowing
of Ronchomowski, one mi ht have be-
ieved that this sarcophagus had been
found in the eighth century at Yalta or
Ebatana, and savants would have dis
coursed learnedly about the costumes
of the Scythians during the reign Of
acknowledgements, and its price would
have been fabulous.

THE. STRONGEST COLLEGE.
Tests Being Made Mt the Present Time
to Discover the Most Athletic
Body of Students. ~.

College men throughout the United
States have begun to take strength
tests for the purpose OF evolving the
institution which numbers in it's ranks
the so strongest men among American
colleges. This competition is unique
in intercollegiate rivalry, as the ath.
letes do not meet in an, actual contest
OF strength. Each university sends
to committee the statistical records
of it's so strongest men and to the col
lege whose athletes make-t the highest
total is awarded the intercollegiate
championship.
The tests by which the strength OF
the men is measured were devised by
DR.. Dudley A. Sargent, of Harvard.
There are seven tests, which respec'
lively record the strength of the back.
the leas the right grip, the Nt grip
ability to "dip," to push up and to
pull up, and finally the strength Of
lungs.
At present Columbia holds the cham.
pionship and expects to increase the
total Of 5000 points made by her 81
men last year.

LOCKOUT IN PlTTSBURG.
Twenty-Five Thousand Men EN-.
ployed in the Building Trades
Are Out of Work.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 3.-The threat
ened order for a general lockout of the
building trades was issued Saturday by
the Builders Exchange league 1t be-
came effective on some contracts Satur-
day, but on others it will have no effect
until Monday. 1t is believed that 1t will
take away employment from Is, 900 men.
The Builders Exchange league officers
say they will consent to no conference
with the Building Trades council, with
whom the men locked ONT are affiliated,
until the striking hosting engineers re-
turn to work for the A. & S. Wilson
Company, which is constructing the
Horne building, where the trouble
started.
1t is estimated that 5000 men were
laid off by the lockout order Saturday,
and that Monday all the men employed
by the contractors affiliated with the
Builders league will be out of work.
The George A. Fuller company, and sew
eral Philadelphia companies having con-
tracts here, will not be affected, as they

KING EDWARD VISITS CORK
The Royal Party Is Warmly Well
coined by Enthusiastic Irishmen.
Says He Hopes for Good Results for
ireland from Legislation on Which
Parliament Il Now Engaged.

Cork, Aug. 3.-The firing Of royal
salutes and enthusiastic cheering well
coined King Edward, Queen Alexandra
and the royal party on their arrival at
Cork Saturday morning on board the
royal yacht Victoria and Albert from
Berehaven. The port was bright with
bunting, the whole town was well
decorated, and the streets were filled
with jubilant sightseers. The lord
mayor and corporation Of Cork well
coined the visitors when they landed.
Their majesties drove through the
decorated streets, which were lined with
troops and bluejackets, to the race
course, where the king presented colors
to two Irish regiments
The Catholic bishop Of Cork was in
vited to assist at the ceremony of bless
Ing the colors, most of the men being
Catholics, but he refused to be asso-
ciated with the Protestant chaplain.
During the afternoon their majesties
visited the exhibition. The royal pro-
cession to the grounds was greeted
everywhere with the same warmth
which marked the previous functions
during the kings tour. Addresses were
presented by several local bodies, to
which the king replied, saying that his
previous great interest in the welfare of
Ireland had been further deepened by his
present visit. He had gained clearer
insight into the conditions of Irish life
and hoped that the legislation on which
parliament was engaged would power
fully contribute to the prosperity and
contentment of the Irish people, But,
good laws alone would not secure that
end. There was need of better indus
trial training for the young, a keener
spirit of cooperation among all classes
and the creation of new and varied
sources of employment for the people.
Their majesties subsequently re-
turned to Queenstown where they re-
ceived further addresses. The king in
his farewell reply said that the people
could rest assured that he had the in
terest of Ireland at heart, which remark
ELECTED vociferous cheering and much
waving of flags and hats. The royal visit
to Ireland was thus brought to a sue
cesSful close.

SCHOOL BARS KIPL1NG VERSE
Scituate (ADass) Authorities Think
"Gunsa Din" Improper for eci-
tation Tor Pupils.

The high school authorities at Scitu-
ate, Mass, are opposed to Rudyard
Kipling's descriptive poem "Gunga
Din" Scituate has no love for this par
ticular poem, and it will be cut off the
forthcoming exercises at which the
pupils are to speak. One student se-
1ected the poem so as to recite some
thing out of the ordinary run at the
Scituate school exhibition. The objec.
ton raised against the speaking of the
piece before the high school pupils are
that it contains the word "hell" and
tells of liquor drinking. So "Gunga
Din" will be replaced by "The Old Oak.

An AID TO RELIGION,
Lord Kelvin, Distinguished Scholar,
Pays Tribute to Science.
Takes Issue with Prof. HensIoyv.s
abatement That Science Neither
Affirmed Nor Denied the
Creative Power.

Lord Kelvin, the distinguished scien.
tist, in moving a vote of thanks to
Prof. Henslow for his lecture before
the University College Christian assoc
citation, demufred to the professors
assertion that, with regard to the ORR
gin of life, science neither affirmed nor
denied the creative power.
On the contrary, he said, science pos
itively affirmed the creative power.
Science made every one feel that he
was miracle in himself. Modern biol
ogists were once more comdng to the
firm acceptance Of vital principle.
They had been absolutely forced by
science to admit and believe in a direc-
tive power. In an influence other than
physical, dynamical, and electrical
forces, there was notAtng between abb
solute scienti fic belief in a creative
power and the acceptance of the
theory of the fortuitous concourse Of
atoms.
"Was there" he asked, ANY thing so
absurd as to believe that a number Of
atoms falling together of their own
accord could make crystal, or sprig
of moss the microbe of a living animal
Nobody could think that nything like
that even in millions and millions Of
years could unaided, give US beauti-
full world like ours. Let nobody be
afraid of true freedom of thought.
Let US be free in thought and criti-
5ciSmS, but with freedom we are bound
to come to the conclusion that science
is not antagonistdc. hut is a help to
religion"

Fortune Found in Old Chest.

W. E. Koch, a jeweler of York, Pa,
has found cash and securities valued
at $4,000 in an old chest. Several
years ago Koch purchased for a tri.
fling sum at a public sale a small an
tique chest. Having no immediate use
for it, he placed it in the garret over
his place of business. Finally he de-
cided to use the box, and upon taking
it apart for repairs false bottom was
found, underneath which was found
the hidden wealth. The former owner
OF the chest is unknown.

TO COLLECT THE DEBT
THE SELIGNANS PROPOSITION
 TO THE POWERS.
Minister Bowen Does Not Look with Fear on the Scheme-For it to go
 Through, Castro Must Act.

Washington, March 19.-The Interna- tional Syndicate, headed by the Selig- mans, have renewed on a larger scale than at it's first venture the offer to as- sume venezuela's debts to the powers On conditions.
 l. N. Seugman has been in Washington two days in that pursuit and he has been at the White House and has com municated with some members of the diplomatic body. With him is associated Mrs. Salaomonsohn, representing the Dis conto Gelleschaft, or Discount Bank of Berlin, which is the largest individual creditor of Venezuela.
 MT. Seligman made arrangements to affiliate in the floating of the Venezuelan debt with the banking firm of Speyer and Company of London. so that instead of being a purely American syndicate as at first supposed, the new partnership will have an international cast. It is under stood that the demand is not now made for guaranty by the United States Gov ernment that these investors shall re- cover their money from Venezuela when the loan becomes due. It is stated that the action of the United States in sign ing protocol with MT. Bowen providing for the settlement of all American claims up to this time has satisfied MT. Selig- man that when the time shall come he, like any other creditor, can ask the State Department to aid him in collecting his money if justice Is denied in Venezuela, The President therefore is not asked to make any specific promise as was the case during the first overtures when he promptly refused to bind this Govern ment, as proposed by the syndicate.
 But, while the syndicate has not re- newed its request as first made, 1t does want some visible exhibition of the inter est of the United States in this matter, something that might connect the United States Government with the enterprise It wants an American to be appointed an agent and stationed in Caracas to manage the redemption of the loan and if necessary to collect a certain propor- tion of the custom receipts.
 It Is believed this proposition is at- tractive to both England and Germany for if 1t were accepted Venezuela could pay her creditors within a few days and the disagreeable necessity of adjusting the question of preferential payment would vanish. Senator Hay being ab- sent 1t cannot be said that the proposi- tion has been fairly laid before this Gov erniu iuent but 1t has been preached. MT Sengman left Washington today expecting to return in about two weeks when, if conditions are suspicious he may put the proposition in concrete form.
 Mir. Bowen does not favor the propo- sition and as his powers are unlimited 1t is apparent that it can come to noth- ing unless the principals find some way to induce President Castro to act in person. MT. Bowen made this pretty clear today to MT. Seligman, when the latter called on him.
 The success of the undertaking might mean the advancement to Venezuela by the syndicate of probably more than $5O,- OOO, 900.

ARE ORDERED TOLEAVE
LABOR ORGANIZERS AT TAMPA
 ARE THREATENED.
President 1ompers of the Federation of Labor Calls on the Chief of Police to Afford Them
 Protection.

Washington. March 19.-President Com pers of the American Federation of La bor today sent the following telegram: Chief of Police, Tampa, Fla:
 In the name of organized labor, as well as every liberty loving citizen. l demand full protection to our organizers, James Wood and James A. Roberts, and others, whose lives have heen threatened These men l know to be law abiding citizens and would not be guilty of an unlawful act. They have a right to organize work ingmen and if necessary in defense of their rights. to strike for the enforce ment of them If no other means of re- dress is afforded. The kidnapping and making away with a number of Tampa s workmen less than two years ago war rants belief that the present threat is se- rious and emanates from a capttalistic organization of banditti.
 Samuel Gompers
 This telegram was sent by MT. Gompers on receipt of statements from the organ izers affected that the subjoined commu- nications had been received by them:
 Tampa, March, 1903. James Wood:
 You are hereby commanded to leave the city at once and never return. Our men have been watching you since your ar rival and we are convinced that you are d troublemaker. Leave the city and save yourself the trouble of our being compelled to remove you which we will do if you are in the city twenty-four hours after receiving this letter. Taka your big guard and leave the city under pain of death for we will not have nor tolerate any more strikes In this city Leave or you die.
 Committee of Tampa and Surrounding
 Country.
 Tampa, March. 1908. James A. Roberts:
 You are hereby commanded to leave the city at once. You consplre to bring ngger William back. You brought Wood here. You are conspirlng with the an- archists in Ybor to bring on a strike. You brought them anarchists from Key West to bring on strike and we think your next move for the good of Tampa will be to leave the city and If you ever come back you do so at your own peril. To remain twenty-four hours after re- ceiving this letter means death for both you and Wood. Get out of the city and save us the trouble of removing you. Committee of Tampa and Surrounding
 County.
 MT. Gompers announced that he had been advised that letters similar to these also were served on Jose Biase, George Bristow and Frank Kelly. members of the Cigar Makers International Union.

MT. Bowen does not think that Vene- zuela should be bound to pay the 30 per cent provided for in the protocol of Feb ruary 18th If The Hague protocol is not signed before April l, and took this po- sition in the note to Sir Michael Herbert If The Hague protocols were not signed and the allies determined hereafter to deal directly with Castro, then the ques- ton would arise as to what should be done with the money paid to the repre- sentative of the Bank of England on April l from the customs receipts of tEe two ports named.
 The plan of MT. Bowen, it is believed here, will bring the whole question to an issue promptly and terminate the inde- cision which now apparently obtains as to just what the intentions of the vari- ous allied Governments are in the matter of settling their claims.

Says They Do Not Understand the
 Race Question.

Madison, Wis. March 19.-Senator TIL man, who arrived in Madison today said, when asked concer ming the suggestion to hold a convention at Atlanta to discuss the race question. said that the problem could not be solved in that way. The Senator intimated that the people of Wis consin did not sufficiently understand the race question to send delegates who un- derstand the matter and that they could not arrive at any definite conclusion.
 If they did go to Atlanta all they could do. he said, would be to talk the matter over and that no definite action could be taken. He said that he had been studying the question for twenty-five years and that he had not arrived at any conclusion.

Anxious for the Allies to Make
 Known Their Intentions.
 Washington. March 19.-Another import ant chapter in the Venezuelan controversy developed today.
 Impelled by the persistent reports which have been circulated that there might be a disposition on the part of the allies to settledirectly with President Castro the question of the payment of the claims ob their citizens with Venezuela, coupled with the exasperating delay in settling the additional protocols with him. Herbert W. Bowen. Venezuelan plenipotentiary, has made an effort to obtain positive in formation from the allies as to their in tenticns in the premises With this pur: pose in view, he addressed to Sir Mich ael Herbert, the British Ambassador as Washington, a polite note calling atten. ton to the delay of about month, and to the rumors that have been current tha . the powers are not disposed to send the question of preferential treatment to The Hague. Mir Bowen urged 1t as desir- able that some declarations should be made by the allies as to what they will do.
 According to the terms of the protocol signed by Mir Bowen with Germany, Great Britain and Italy. February IS, 90 per cent of the customs receipts of the ports of La Guaira and Porto Cabello were to be paid over to the representa- tive of the Bank of England at Caracas for the satisfaction of the claims against Venezuela pending the decision of The Hague tribunal, and the customs receipts were to be paid out in accordance with the decision of that tribunal on the ques- ton of preferential treatment. The first allotment of customs receipts was to he paid on the first of April. covering the receints fAs "~~ 'Nanth of March.
