SOCIALISTS MAKE ISSUE.

The question of whether the organiza-
i;on should commit itself to the doc
trines of socialism came squarely before
he delegates to the convention OF the
American Federation of Labor at its
session in Boston yesterday. The ques-
ton was not answered, as shortly before
6 o'clock an adjournment was taken un-
til today, when the debate will be re-
sumed.
Nine resolutions, introduced by social
lists, fayoring public ownership and the
organization of political party to bring
about conditions the socialists seek were
all reported on unfavorably by the COM
mittee on resolutions. AT once the
long arranged plan of the socialist dele
gates to fight for the adoption of their
principles was put into operation by
Delegate Max Hayes, of Cleveland. He
offered substitute for the committees
report. but was ruled out of order.
AT this point the applause from the
spectators led President Samuel GOmpers
to announce that he would order the
galleries cleared if the applause was
continued. His remark was received
with Kisses. Thereupon he ordered the
spectators to leave. There was great
deal of confusiC n, and at the end the
elected people, numbering several hun
dred. assembled outside Faneuil Hall
and adopted resolutions condemning
President Gompers for his action.
Meantime the debate was resumed by
the delegates. Just before adjournment
the elected spectators we're permitted to
re-enter the hall.
At the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion the convention somewhat unex-
pectedly plunged itself into a considera-
ton of whether the federation was to
commit itself to the doctrines Of social
ism. As stated, the committee on reso-
lutions had reported unfayorably on
nine resolutions introduced by socialists.
Delegates Hayes moved the following
substitute for the committees report
"Since wages can never be regarded
as the full equivalent for labor's toll,
this convention recommends that the
workers use their political and economic
power along the lines Of their class in.
terests to secure for labor the full product
of its toll"
Delegate Hayes proceeded to make a
20 minute speech on socialism.
The debate then became general, oc-
cupying the remainder Of the session.
The adjournment of the day, however,
cut off the debate.
The committee reported unfayorably
on resolutions to reduce the per capita
tax and the defense fund tax providing
for the creation of a labor congress to
prevent organizations from signing any
agreement which shall prevent the SYM
pathetic strike; to set aside 81 cents each
month to be used for strike purpose in
stead of 5 cent. and providing that local
trade unions and federal labor unions
which do not care to enjoy the benefits of
the defense fund shall only be required
to pay one-half of per cent a member
per month. All these reports were con-
Cured in.

DENIAL FROM SENATOR DIET.

United States Senator Charles II.

Washington last night regarding his in

Omaha, together with that ofPostmaster

"fhe charge that l had accepted, d.
rectly or indirectly, money or anything

officials who were shown to be dis

ent attempt to attach a stigma
to my name is because of my firm adher-
ence to this course. Bitter factional
fights have existed in my home county
for many years, and as result Of these
differences l have naturally incurred
many enmities not only in politics but
in business. My; refusal while governor

HELD ON A PECULIAR CHARGE.
Question OF Whether Tenant or 0verseer OF
Farm Can Fill in a Ditch.

Joseph Rash, tenant on the farm of
DR.. Henry Ridgely, near Dover, and
well known farmer, ives held last
Monday under a nominal bail of $50
for his appearance at the next session
of the Court of General Sessions,
under peculiar charge.
Road Overseer William Hurley and
his assistants dug out a ditch or trench
IN front of the gate leading to RASH S
farm, and Rash was notified by the
clerk of the peace to place drain box
or pipe in the opening, so that teams
might drive over it. Instead of com
plying with the request Rash, to
whom the trench was Objectionable,
promptly filed it up.
Overseer Hurley sued Rash and at
the trial before Magistrate Wood the
latter, not caring to establish prece
dent in the case, continued it for
court. The court will, therefore, de
eide whether or not the tenant OF
owner of farm has a right to fill in a
ditch on his property, which is OBJ
| jectionable to him.

How He stopped the Bray.

was on cunning trip with some
friends of mine," said a New York
man, ''and in a field close to the house
where we slept a jackass pastured.
This jackass kept us awake with his
braying a good part of the night. My
friends, do what they would, could not
put a stop to his noise.
Il happened to know a good deal
about jackasses, so l said to my
friends:
81 bet you $50 that 1 can stop this
animals noise SO that tonight he won't
bray once.
''They took the bet, and that evening
1 treated the jackass for a minute or
two. The result was that all night
long he was as silent as the grave.
"My friends in the morning paid me
what was due, and they examined the
animal. They found a heavy stone
tied to his tail. That was all.
'They could not understand why this
should have kept him from braying, sc
l had to explain the reason to them
Do you know the reason? No? Well
it was this: A jackass to bray has t.
have his tail elevated till it is leve
with his backbone. As long as it hang.
down he can make no sound. My
heavy stone therefore served the pur
pose of a first class gag.''-New Yorl

lwo tiny arms reached up to him, ac-
aompanied by a shrill plant.
Good heavens" he said, standing
srect and rubbing his head, ''it's kid!'
His first wild impulse was to run;
then as the wall grew more plaintive
he felt strange tightening at his
throat
poor devil" he mused, cts hungry"
He gathered the bundle in his arms
and went out He had a vague idea of
giving it to a policeman, but as he went
down the street and the walls gradual
ly ceased a strange desire seized him,
a desire to keep this child. There was
his sister, Mrs. MacInness; he might
take it to her. She was a good soul,
was Nora. He sought the nearest drug
store and looked up the address Of the
Weaknesses in the directory. Then,
with the child in his arms, he trudged
the two weary miles to their home
Nora met him at the door, and his heart
sank
well" she said, IAN what does this
mean-the loikes O. you comm here,
Mike O'Sullivan? Are We hungry or
what hev ye in the boondle?'
Just then there was a vail from the
blanket. and she snatched it from him.
He followed her into the house and
watched with hungry eyes as she deft-
ly slid off the swathings of the child.
"Oh, the da-arlin', the da-arln'r' she
cried. An when was ye married,
Mike?"
Il want you to be good to it for bit,
Nora" he said and turned on his heel.

The cockney handed the elephant
half a crown, and, sure enough, he
took it in his trunk and placed it in a

A Poor Nose For News.

The proprietor of newspaper in a
large city not far from New York
called at the office of one of the New
York evening newspapers with his son,
a young man just out of college, and
made the request that the editors take
him on the staff and make a good
newspaper man of him. The young
man wore a corduroy vest, and ap-
peared hopeful. He was sent off one
morning to a nearby New Jersey town
to investigate report that prominent
citizen was missing from his home.
The day wore on and nothing was
heard from the young man. The news
paper went to press without mention
of the prominent citizen. Finally, an
hour or more later, the young man
strolled in, looking cool and contented,
as though he had done a good days
work.
'Well, what about it? Where have
you been" asked the city editor.
Il found that the man wasn't miss
ing, after ALL" replied the young man.
"Why didn't you send anything?"

untrue. went to the door and a serv-
ant answered the bell and told me that

Weird Music Of NInro.

Moro music is strangely unrhythmic-
al to European ears, says a writer in
EverybOdy's Magazine. 1t consists
mainly of a mOnOtonOus reiteratiOn of
sound, even a supposed change of air
being almost imperceptible to an ear
unaccustomed to the barbarOus lack of
tone. The Moro piano is a wooden
frame shaped like the runners Of a
child's sled, on which small kettle
drums are balanced by means of cords
and sticks laid horizontally. These
rather resemble pots for the kitchen
range than musical instruments, but
each is roughly tuned. forming the
eight notes of the scale. Women crouch
ing on the ground before this instru-
ment beat out a wailing sound from it
with shaped sticks, while from larger
kettledrums, hung by ropes from a
wooden railing at one side, two men
accompanied the piano, and one old
woman in the background drummed
out an Independent air of her own on
an empty tin pan.
