ally the piece is bent down into
the familiar bell shape, and its sides
riVeted together on the anvil. The bell
is in shape then. but it still lacks tone
and color. These are gained by a
coating of brass and a bath in a fiery
furnace. In nests Of four or five each
the bells. ranging in size from the
little threc-inch sheep bells to the scv-
en-inCh COW bells, are placed with 4
mixture of charcoal and brass filings
between them, in plumbago cru"ibles.
whose lids are held in place by 2 plas-
toring of wet clay. Then these are
immersed in the fire until ready for
the final touch.
Within the crucibles the brass
spends itself in a thin coating over the
imprisoned bells and the bell obtains
it's clear note. All that need he done
afterward is to burnish the bells,
which is done by throwing them, with
a few leather scraps. into a big re-
volving cylinder. in which they polish
themselves. The bell tongues are made
in foundries and come with wire at
tached ready to bend on.

causes. The early Christians had
not fully eradicated the old prejudice
against the cross, and they thought
the scene of the crucifiXion too sacred
to be pictured in images.
Prior to the fourth century the
holiest of Christian symbols was the
monogram of Christ. 1t was woven
into all ecclesiastical vestments and
formed a prominent feature of other
decorations. About the year 1893 the
first crucifix was introduced into the
church. 1t was made Of dark red
wood and at the intersection of the
two parts bore the figure of the
lamb, the objection to the using of
the actual figure of Christ being still
strong.
Somewhat later came the Greek
crucifix, one of the most beautiful
of all the forms. and which many
contemporary divines contend would
form a more fitting part of church
ceremonials than the one in common
use This Greek cross was meant to
typify the triumph over death, but in
such manner as to divest as far as
possible the entire subject of its
gruesome and morbid aspect. 1t
blossomed with flowers of gold and
silver and was richly studded with
gems. In G92, during the reign of
Justinian, the Council of Trullo was
held. The object of the famous con-
ference was to devise a means by
which to circumvent the mysticism
and symbolism that were threatening
to undermine the Christian religion
and deprive it of its true meaning. 1t
was pointed out that the signs and
symbols used in the service were be-
coming more and more important
than the things they stood for, and
that to the ignorant mind the story of
the life and sufferings of Christ be-
gan to be only a sort of myth, an
allegory. 1t was resolved to substi-
tute the actual human figure of the
crucitied Christ for that of the sym.
bolic lamb This act resulted IN tho
creation Of the orthodox crucifx of
to-day.

The origin of the cross as symbol
is shrouded in the dim mists OF
almost prehistoric antiquity. Centur-
les before the Gallo and Cymric Gets
swarmed over England, centuries be-
fore the lowly Nazarene began pro-
mitigating his doctrines, centuries pe-
fore the beginning of the Old Iesta-
ment history, the cross was an I'M
brtant factor in the lives OF men. II
forms part of the lore of the most
ancient of religions. Never is great
excavation made but that many varia-
tions of the cross forms are eXhumed
and under circumstances which prove
that they have been religious sym
bols.
There are many evidences to prove
that prior to the time of Christ the
Cross was with the Jews sign OF
salvation. The braZen serpent was
Moses instructed the people of Israel
to mark their doOrposts with the
blood of the sacriticial lamb he tod
them to make the mark in the form
of cross. The sign of the cross is
frequently found on ancient Jewish
monuments near Perseapolls.
What became of the true cross is
one of the greatest miracles OF all
time. 1t is true that there are IN
many Old and New World cathedrais
bits of wood purporting to be part OF
the true cross. In some cases, notably
that which concerns the fragment OF
the tablet placed over the cross by
Pilates order, and which is now IN
the ancient church of Santa Croce
at Rome their authenticity seems
fairly well established; but so min
ute are the fragments that, according
to one ancient writer. if all were col
lected and put together they would
only make a block oil wood ABOUT
twenty inches long. eight inches VIDE
and three inches thick.
It was three centuries after the

2 THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Denial Of Report That Journeymen
Tailors Propose to Strike.

AT the regular meeting of District Assem-
bly,, No. 66, knights of Labor, Thursday
evening, resolutions were adopted denying
the statement made by Mr.. John w. Hayes
of the Hayes branch Of the organization to
the effect that the sixteen metal fathers or
fireproof workers who are said to have been
the cause Of dispute in the erection of the
Portner Hotel anney are not members of
the Knights of Labor. The resolutions re-
cite that Mr.. Hayes is not recognized as an
official of the knights of Labor
In conversation with a Star reporter Mr.
Hayes stated that the workmen referred to
were expelled from the order for violation
of rules and the non-payment of per capita
tax. The assembly which passed the reso-
lutions denying the statement of Mr.. Hayes
asserts its allegiance to the Burns faction.
Mr.. IgnatiuS Gercia, secretary of the
Journeymen Tailors Local Union, No 1873,
and Mr.. William Running, general organizer
for the Journeymen Talors' Union of Amer
lea, emphatically deny the published report
to the effect there will be inaugurated Mon
day next a strike among the journeymen
taiIors of this city. They also state that
the journeymen have not asked for an in
crease in pay or shorter hours. Mr.. Run
ming states that he Is making a canvass of
the city merely for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the sentiments of the employing
tailors as to labor unionism, being DESTROYS
that the organized laboring people patronize
tailoring firms which favor the Journey
mems union. The organizer declares that
the union has no grievance with any en-
ploying tailor of this city.
