hapS the trueSt measure OF Il man worth
is the love he arOuses in other men. For
if it be true that we are enriched and en-
nobed by the love we ourselves feel then
that man has lived best whose life
aroilses in us feelings of love and respect.
Such Il love-inspiring soul was that
kindly gentleman who but Il few weeks
ago moved in the Jewish circles of Den
yer, Mr.. Julius Freyhan Of New Orleans.
The ''ready credence' of which the poet
sings was marked indelibIy on his face.
and one had but to look into his eye to
catch /. glimpse of that sweet soul that
animated the man. The tenderness. the
nobility, the love that slumbers in every
man rose in majesty to meet Mr. Frey
han s own tender, noble and loving soul!
Such a soul that spreads light and love
wherever it goes can not be in darkness
wherever it dwells. The human heart
feels certain that such souls dwell in eter-
nal light, and Gods spirit is with him
and in him.

Will TRY TO SAVE FLEET.
PLANS COMPLETED FOR DEPAR-
TuRE OF RUSSIAN WARsHlPs
.s% FROM PORT ARTHUR.

et. Petersburg, June 11.-There is
reason to believe that the plans for
the departure Of the Port Arthur
squadron In the event that the fall Of
the fortress becomes imminent have
been completed. They involve the CO
operation Of the Vladivostok squadron.
After the blockading fleet has been
engaged the uninjured Russian ships
will effect juncture with the Vladi-
vostok squadron and make their way
to vladivostok. The fact that the Ko-
rean straits are mined and guarded by
. Japanese torpedo boat flotilla, which
has been established to the satisfac-
ton Of the admiralty here, greatly in
Screases the diff culty of the operation,
but the Russians will probably prefer
to take chances of getting through
rather than Of making 1000 miles
Journey around Japan. The attempt
may occur at the first favorable OPP
portunity. The squadron is useless
for the defense of Port Arthur, while
II preserved entire or in major por-
ton even the fall of Port Arthur
would be robbed of much of its impor-
lance from the standpoint of Russia's
future plans.

UNION MEN ARE DEPORTED
Members of the Miners Organ

Cripple Creek, Colo, June 11.-De-

General Sherman M: Bell, silitary
commander, has ordered that ninety
seven members of the Miners union
shall be taken outside of Teller county
on a special train in. accordance with
the recommendations of the Citizens
committee, which examined them. This
committee was in session, nearly all
night Investigating the cases of 100
other union men who are confined in
the Victor armory and submitted an
other report to General Bell during
the day recommending further depor.
tations.
within forty-eight hours this dis
trict will be rid of all agitators and

ionists are scared and many are leav-
ing the county of their own volition to
avoid arrest and incarceration. There
are still some desperate characters
among the hills, however, whom we
intend getting, no matter what the
cost. In running them down there may
occur some fights, but do not look for
any serious trouble"
Cripple Creek, Colo, June 1.-THE
excitement throughout this district is
sumed during the day at mines en-
ploying nonunion men which had been
closed since Monday, the Stratton In
dependence being the first to reopen.
The Portland mine remains closed by
order of General Bell and it's 500 en-
ployes will be compelled to abandon
the union or leave the district. EN-
ployers in all branches of business in
this city, without an exception so far
as known, have signed the agreement
proposed by the Citizens alliance
mot to employ help of any kind that
is in any way connected with the Dis
trict Trades assembly or the State
Federation of Labor, the American
Labor union or the Western Fedora
ton of Miners, or any kindred organi-
zation.'
This agreement of proprietors has
caused CONSERVATION among the clerks
and employees in shops and stores who
are members of the Retail Clerks,
BARRIERS, Carpenters, Bartenders,
Cooks and other trade unions, as all
will have to resign to hold their posi-
lions.
The union cards which have been
demanded in this camp in order to
transact business will no longer be a
necessity, in fact. it is intended that
the cards shall be surrendered as soon
as the committees report can be
acted on.
The present scale of wages will pre-.
vail and individual unions will be toll
Grated, it is conceded, if they are con-
Quoted on conservative lines and do
not give aid, directly or indirectly, to
the Western Federation Of Miners.
This warfare against unions is to be
extended, the organizers of the move
ment say, to every city and town in
the district.

IOWA STATE LAW UPHELD.

Dealers Must Comply With Oleonar'
aarine Regulations.
Des Moines, June 1.-THE Iowa SUI
preme court has affirmed decision of
the lower court prohibiting the sale OF
colored oleomargarine unless the state
dairy laws are complied with. The
suit was brought by the Iowa dairy
commission against the Armour Pack.
ing company and was in the nature OF
q test. The Armours commended that
the oleomargarine was made the color
of yellow butter through natural pro-
cesses in its manufacture and that,
therefore, dealers were not compelled
to exhibit the label. The first indict-
ment was quashed through technicali-
ties. Upon the second trial the state
secured q favorable verdict and an
appeal was taken. @.E
The supreme court holds that it is
not enough for the packing company
to prove that their Oleomargarine Is
made yellow through the natural pro
cess, but that it is q violation of the
state law to sell any color and kind OF
OleomArgarine without the label. r.
