FURNITURE MEN IN SESSION.
Az Address In Opposition to the Proposed
Metric system-The Formation OF an
Employer Association Urged.

New York, July 2S.-Labor and ad-
vertising were the themes discussed
by the Furniture Association Of Amer
lea at last nights session Of Its annual
meeting. The principal address was
made by David M. Parry. Of Indianapo-
lis, president Of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers, who made an
attack on labor unions. F. A. Halsey
made a short address In opposition to
tho proposed law for the adoption OF
the metric system by the United States.
He said that the claims made by the
advocate of the metric system that 1t
was used by two-thirds Of the govern
ments of the world was wrong and
not supported by fact. A resolution
was then offered condemning the pro-
posed law for the adoption Of the
metric system. The resolution charac-
terized the measure as wholly mis-
chievous in Its tendency" It was
adopted
Frederick W. Job, secretary OF the
Employers Association Of Chicago, told
OF labor conditions In Chicago and OF
the formation there Of an employers
association and urged the furniture
men to get together in some similar
organization themselves.

THE MILLER REINSTATEMENT.
The Assistant Foreman Of the Government
Blndsry Goes Back 10 Work--rhe Union
Representative Hold . Meeting.


washington, July 2S.--There was q
long discussion at O meeting last night
at Typographical hall Of the situation
arising over the reinstatement OF W.
A, Miller, the assistant foreman OF the
bindery In the government printing Oh
fee, who had been discharged because
he had been expelled from the book
binders union. The meeting was at
tended by two representatives Of the
International Bookbinders' brother
hood, Messrs. J. w. Dougherty, Its gen.
eral secretary, and J. A. Espey. the
secretay-treasurer; by the presidents
and secretaries Of the various allied Or
CARNATIONS represented In the govern
ment printing office, including the
printers, the pressmen, the photo
engravers and the women's auxiliary,
and also by President Gompers and
Secretary Morrison, Of the American
Federation of Labor. After the meet
ing the statement was made that no
definite action of any character had
been taken and that the time had been
used in discussion. No time was set
for a meeting and 1t is stated that the
present intention Is to wait for time
to see what action Public Printer
Palmer will take In the case OF Miller,
against whom charges Of unfitness nave
been preferred.
Aside from the interest aroused from
the matter Of Miller's reinstatement,
the members of the various organiza-
lions represented say they realize that
there is a broader aspect to the whole
case. They feel that the presidents
ruling in Miller's case particularly
makes the government printing office
an open" shop, in which q man or
woman may be employed whether
members of any union or not. They
are very anxious that the chief exec
utive find some way In which his rul-
ing may be modified, so that this condi-
ton of affairs will not arise. They
are very much exercised over the mat
ter and hope some solution will be
found and that the government print
ing office in which the employees are
members Of various unions Will not
become an open" shop.

,ited, had rounded curve at Vlasaty.
The morning was foggy and neither
.sengineer saw the other in time to
stop, although the engineer of the
limited had applied the air brakes.
That the two trains came together
With terrific force was evidenced by
he fact that both engines were badly
damaged. but they remained standing
upright on the tracks. The baggage
and buffet cars were completely
wrecked and turned crosswise OF the
tracks. The first sleeper back OF the
buffet was badly smashed In the for
ward end and the four rear cars re-
mained intact on the track.
These cars were used to bring the
dead and injured to st. Paul and Min
neapolis, where the injured were given
surgical attendance. None Of the pas
nsugers were seriously injured, but
uuts and bruises were freely distributed
end the utmost confusion prevailed
Nnalowing the impact Of the two trains
the baggageman was buried under
nsath q pile of trunks when the car
waa lifted of the tracks, but was
RaIxen out uninjured. The baggage car
struck q small building and one end
broke through the side OF the strlc'
Nure. Three cars in the freight were
wrecked, one of them containing q

A PROTEST BY CATTLEMEN.
The Raise In Cattle shipping Rates BY the
Railroads ArOuses the Ire of Green
wood County Stockmen.

Eureka, Kan. July 27.-At a meet
ing of the Greenwood County Cattle
mems association resolutions protest.
ing against the increase OF cattle ship
ping rates to be put into effect by the
railroads of Kansas September l were
adopted The recent treatment OF the
cattlemen by the railroads has aroused
the Indignation Of stockmen in this
section. They say that never have the
railroads given the cattle shippers such
poor service and they maintain that
to raise the shipping rates is unjust
and the price per hundred weight un-
reasonable. The resolutions refer 10
the change in method Of charging for
cattle shipments which went into Of
feet about two years ago and which
raised the freight rate about 20 per
cent. The new order increases the
rate IL per cent. more. The cattlemen
of this county have forwarded pro-
test to the state board Of railroad COM
missioners. The protest is signed by
more than 500 representative stock
men Of this county, and states that an
other raise Of 15 per cent in the
freight rate at the time of the year
when shipments are the heaviest and
the market the lowest will work hard
ship upon the shippers of the state.
The cattlemen in other sections of the
state a:e taking similar action and In
tend to unite.

LETTER FROM JEFFERSON.
How the Late Queen Came Intc Pos
session Of a characteristics
Communication.

Queen Victoria was an assiduous col
lector of autographs, and 1t is an inter.
esting and a curious fact that one OF
the most precious treasures Of her large
collection is letter written by Thorn
as jefferson to his daughter Martha
when she was II years old. Her NAL
esty frequently showed it to American
visitors. Although Jefferson was an
Incorporating enemy Of England
throughout his entire life and cher
ished an unreasonable hostility TO
everything British, Queen Victoria ad-
mired him as much as any American
The simplicity Of his life and the ten
der interest he manifested toward his
children seemed to touch her heart,
says the Chicago Record.
She obtained this letter from Mrs.
Randolph, the daughter of Mr.. Jefier-
son, shortly after his death. At that
time her fad for collecting autographs
was at its height, and she requested
the foreign Office at London to secure
Tor her typical example OF Mr.. Jei-
terson's writing. Mr.. Vail, the British
charge at Washington, forwarded the
request to Mrs. Randolph, who, appre-
eating Queen victoria's character
nd knowing her love Of children, se-
lected q letter which she had received
from her father during her childhood
It is dated Annapolis, November rs,
1888, and is addressed to "My dear Pat
sy." After expressing the sorrow he
felt inparting with her at the school in
which she was placed, he said:
1.-THE requirements which ! hope you
will make under the tuition I have pro-
vided for you will render you more
worthy Of my love, and If they cannot
increase 1t they will preventits diminu-
ton. With respect to the Distribution
of YOUR time the following is what
would approve:
"From to 10 practice music.
"From 10 to / dance one day and
draw another.
"From / to 2 draw on the day you
dance and write a letter next day.
From to 4 read French.
"From 4 to 5 exercise yourself in mu-
sic.
"From then till bedtime read Eng
fish, write, etc.
"Take care that you never spell
word wrong. Always before you write
a word consider how 1t Is spelled, ana
II YOU do not remember 1t turn to the
dictionary. 1t produces great praise
to lady to spell well.
"If ever you are about to say anything
amiss or do anything wrong consider
beforehand and you will feel something
within you which will tell you 1t Is
wrong and ought not to be said or done.
This is your conscience and be sure ana
obey It. Our Maker has given US this
faithful internal monitor, and IT you
always obey it you will always be pre-
pared for the end Of the world, or for
more certain event, which is death.
81 have placed my happiness on see
ing you good and accomplished, and
no distress which the world can now
bring on me would be equal to that Of
your disappointing my hopes. If you
love me, then, strive to be good under
every situation, and to all living crea-
lures, and to acquire those accom-
plishments which I have put In your
power, and which will 60 far toward in
surfing you the warmest love of your at
fectionate father. Tn. Jefferson"

SOFT SPANISH NAMES.
How Those Given to Girls Game to
BE Used and What They
Mean.

The name Of the princess of the
Asturias, whose betrothal to Prince
Charles of Bourbon seems to have
given so much dissatisfaction In her
own country, is one Of those Spanish
things which are not easily under
stood or appreciated by English
speaking people, says the New York
Tribune. Maria de las Mercedes 10
sometimes hastily translated MARY
of the Mercies" by those imperfect!y
acquainted with the intricacies OF
Spanish devotion. 1t means, in fact,
"Mary of the Ransoms," and It's fire.
quent employment as a Christian
name in Spain carries one back In
thought, as do many other features
of Spanish life, to the days when
Moorish and Saracenic aggression was
a real danger to Europe. In those
days the Barbary pirates, with whose
successors in the early part Of the
last century the United States gov
eminent had dealings Of it's own,
habitually carried off into captivity
the Inhabitants of villages and small
towns on the Mediterranean coasts.
Many of these captives were poor.
and their friends were unable TO
pay the ransoms demanded by their
captors. It was sufficiently well
known that besides suffering many
hardships and much intentional cru
city at the hands of the Moslems,
the captives were always exposed to
great temptation to abandon their
faith for that Of Mahomet. In view
Of ell this, the work of collecting
aims among the faithful for the ran
som of captured Christians in the
hands Of the Moors became one Of
the most highly esteemed religious
enterprises Of the later middle ages.
It was by ecclesiastical authority
placed under the protection Of the
Blessed Virgin, styled in this eonnee-
ton "Nuestrs Sonora de las Mer-
eedes" ('0ur Lady Of Ransoms'D.
