visited police headquarters today and
had a conference with acting police COM
missioner Ebsteiu, regarding the grant
ing of a parade permit to her and her

horses along the parade route, and, for
that reason, he deemed it advisable to
withhold the required permit. "Mother"
Jones threatens to parade later in the
day and take her chance OF being arrested.

Lying I'm State.

Rome. July 23.-At six o'clock this
morning the doors of st. Peters were
thrown open, and from that time until
three o'clock this afternoon the general
public passed through to take last look
at the remains of the late pontlff' Leo
XIII. At O'Clock the doors were again
closed, Only the specially invited being
admitted from four to five this evening.
This programme will be carried out To-
morrow and Saturday as we'll.
At $50 this morning two thousand
had gathered outside the gate. Many
of these were workingmen and shop girls
forming a typical Roman crowd. AT
600 the gates we're open. The first per-
son through was an old Italian woman
with rings in her ears. Then came a
crowd of men and boys who raced up the
steps at top speed. All, however, when
they reached the portal removed their
hats and entered reyerently. The cata-
falque was so placed that the pontiti' s
feet we're more than a yard behind the
chapeps iron railing, so that it was i'm
possible to kiss the sacred shoes OF
even to kneel. Only glance was
allowed. One old woman when
she saw the arrangement cried out
''Oh his feet" and went away sobbing
bitterly in her disappointment at being
thwarted in performing her intended act
of homage. The pontiff was fully robed,
His head was mitred, and his hands
crossed, holding a rosary. His face had
been composed with some transparent
tissue, slightly changing the expression,
though it was one of singular repose ano
peace. At $3.50 the crowd at the en-
trance still numbered thousands, and as
those in front passed in, there was con
slant accessions in the rear, which KEEP
the crowd always increasingly BY l2:3'
the heat had become so great that thu
crowd had greatly dwindled. The re
strictions upon the entrances had beer
practically removed and the people
passed in and out as they pleased.
The comparatively small crowds WIN
have thus far viewed the remains is II
striking contrast to the overwhelming
crowds which strOve for admission at tn
time Plus TX lay in state. This ha
caused some comment, but owing to tn
fact that political feeling has died out
and also in view of the intense heat ant
the absence of tourists, the difference i
easily accounted for.
All day in the choir chapel, opposit
the chapel of the sacrament, the first 0
the nine days funeral service was cele
brated about another catafalque upol
which was the pontia's coffin, surmount
ed by the triple crown. The service in
cluded dirges and prayers. Meanwhile
the pre-conclave campaign is proceed
ing. Cardinal Sera6no Vanutell. j
today attracting the most attention. Hi
friends declare they have effected coali
ton against Cardinal Rampolla, in fayo
of.Vanutelli, which includes the mode
rates among the Roman and Italian car
dinals and several foreigners. They ais
expect that Cardinal Gibbons, who vii
arrive on Saturday, will support thei
candidate.

VICE-CHANCELLoR EMERY in New
ark. n. j., Tuesday entered an order on
the application of w & NJ. Fletcher &
Co.. of Hoboken, requiring the striking
machinists who went out on June D to
show cause why they should not be en-
Joined permanently from interfering with
the Fletcbers' present employees. The
order signed by the court is radical
one. 1t forbids the strikers to approach
the workers on the street or to hold con-
verse with them going or coming from
their employment. This may be regarded
as n drastic measure and curtailmento OF
social liberty, but the times seem to be
really out of joint and desperate means
may be anticipated from both sides in the
prolonged conflict between labor and capt.
tai. The movements of the representa-
tives of both are becoming more pro-
nounced every day and as one crowds
the other the situation becomes more

Paterson, N. j., July 2S.-This town
is fast recovering from the effects of the
tornado which swept over it yesterday
and last night. The results are not SO
serious as first reported. Three persons
we're killed and about 100 injured, but
all of the latter will probably recover.
First report of the loss to property was
far over estimated, as the financial
damage will not exceed $3.50, 900.

IT HAS often been asserted that most
soldiers will steal on general principles,
and its truth was never better illustrated
than during the war recently waged by
Great Britain against the Boer republics.
According to Lord Roberts, English
soldiers, in yielding to their klepto-
maniac instincts, stole Bibles which were
printed in Dutch. OF course the thieves
were unable to read them, and they
would not have perusued them had they
been printed in their vernacular. Dur
ing the late civil war in this country q
prominent clergyman, living near Alex
andria, possessed copy Of the Vulgatt
Bible which he priced highly. 1t was
stolen by some soldiers who probably
knew as much about Latin as they die
of the language spoken in the Garden o.
Eden.

RODY FOUND.

A man who said he was @. X. Dick
inson, and gave his address as Brooklyn,
called at the morgue in New York yes
terday to identity the body of man who
was found in the North river at the foot
of l34th street Tuesday with rope
around his neck He said the body was
that of J. p. II. C:ismond, the clerk Of
the Spottsylvania County Court, Vim
ginia. Mr.. Dickinson had a photograph
of Crismond in his pocket, in which the
man was depicted holding one of his
children in his arms. Although the body
was badly decomposed, slight resem-
blance to the picture could be seen.
Dickinson said that Crismond lett Vir-.
GINA about two weeks ago, presumably
for New York, telling his wife she would
never see him again, Mrs. Crismond
wrote to Dickinson, asking him to watch
for her husband.
The police have been working on the
case, believing it to be murder. The
body was found weighted down with
bag of stones and rope tightly twisted
around the neck. The police still be-
Iieye the case to be one of murder. Mr..
Crismond had been II faithful and trustee
clerk of the courts of Spottsylyania coun-
ty for twenty-five years, and no man
in his section stood higher. He was an
ordained minister, possessed handsome
home and other property, and was amp
ly able to pay many times the amount of
what appears to be a shortage of several
hundred dollars in his accounts. His
mysterious disappearance was a shock to
the public. 1t was generally believed at
the time that his mind had suddenly be-
come unbalanced.

THERE Is trouble IN the government
nrinting ofIice-the first OF a'eserious
nature since the close of the civfl var,
when the typographical union, tsJ5k OK
captions to negro being employed as a
c1mpositor. The issue at that time was
plainly defined by republican newspapers
and was substantially whether or not a
labor union should be allowed to get IN
the way of the "wheels of the republican
chariot" The typographical union
stepped aside when the juggernaut drew
uncomfortably close. twill not require

concerning w. A. Miller, whom the
President has reappointed as foreman IN
the binding department against the
nrotest of the bookbinders' union. II
President Roosevelt decides to retain
Miller. it is thought certain there Will
he q walkout or a strike. The men de-
clare they will not work with Miller. j
the bookbinders strike the printers will
also leave their cases and in all proba-
bihty the pressmen will bring up the
rear. The result can be safely anticip'
ated. Thousands of workmen in all
parts of the United States will offer thell
services to the government and the
power of the bOokbinders' and typo
graphical unions, so far as the govern
ment printing office is concerned, will
be at an end. 1t is not in the line OF
common sense fer those organizations to
fight against the government. II
they do there will be another illustra'
ton of the fable of the bear hugging

fairs. A conservative estimate OF the
financial loss caused by the strike and
the cost of suppressing the attendant
disorders places the amount at not Tar
short of 5000, 600. This is divided about
as follows: State of Virginia, $50, OOO
City of Richmond, $4,000; Passenger
and Power Company, $4,000 striking
EMPLOYEES, $4,000. A search of the
credit side of the ledger shows no credits
all losses, no gains. The strike was
an unfortunate one and it seems hard
on the tax payers that they should have
to pay for such occurrences. Still law
and order must be preserved at any cost

WE ARE told that when the lsraelltes
returned to Jerusalem after the Babylon
ish captivity and commenced the work
of rebuilding the walls of that city,
the masons toiled with trowel IN one
hand and a sword in the other. History
is often repeating itself, and the scenes
in St. Louis yesterday remind one OF
those in the City of the Great King
many centuries ago. Men at work IN
St. Louis were attacked by strikers and
there were many incidents which tend to
show that the time is by no means at
hand when swords are to be beat into pillow
shares and spears into pruning hooks
but that brother wOrkmen are arrayed IN
deadly hostility toward each other and
what the end will be no one knows.

ed He is also charged with having
lent his travelling commission. WINE
the reasons cited by the department are

il is believed at the department tina
most of the time Hedges was absent iron
his Office "upon business" 1t was hl'
own private business he was attending
to and not that of the department On'
case is cited where he certified that Ut

ment, if not fortune, was entirely
dependentupon useful and steady
employment at least six days in

realization we have from time
to time, advocated the doctrine.

ton: Work is wonderful
thing and the more one becomes

its benefits, the greater it ap-
pears. x
IF you have never worked, try
it sometime and you will be sur
prised at the pleasure it gives

note that they have tasted the
pleasure that comes from work
industrious efforts, which must
