ATTACK W1R COUNTRIES.
Fiery Speeches from Peace Dele
gates at Cooper Union.

Picking up the incident OF the kissing OF
Pete Curran at Cooper Union Wednesday
night for his speech on the American treatment
of the FilipinOs and launching into a fierce at
tack on Great Britain aud the United States
Herbert Burrows. one of the peace deIegates
began his speech last night at Cooper Union
Mr. Burrows was the fourth sneaker M The
mass meeting Of The Friends OF Russian Free
DOM" He told of how he himself had been
hissed in Boston for saving that tho outrsgas
of the Russian government were greater than
those Of Turkey. He said in part:
II has always been a great surprise 10 us
Englishmen to~know that there is great friend
snip existing between the American and Rus
the feeling is dying down. because OF a friendI,-
feeling for Japan. although the motives of that
country are not perfectly pure. We 0he peace
as We did in England We refuse to speak
smooth things when there are no smooth things
TO speak. We are here to tell the truth, and
we don't care whether II concerns Turkey, Rus
sia, the United States or England which we
blame for the BOer war. blame America
for it's treatment of the Filpinos Mr. Perrie
told me of the eXaggerations of the kissing or
Mr.. CUrTSn. II they were exaggerated so much
the better for America.
The second speaker. J. f. Green, one OF the
English peace delegates. criticised the extradi-
tion treaty between the United States and Rus
sia. He said that Great Britain would not dare
10 make Such treaty ana thet ne was grateful
to know that England would give asylum 10 any
man who was too good for his own country He
referred to the Kishinef massacres as a call
back to the Dark Ages and declared that he
hoped the nights meeting would lead to an agi-
tatiOn that would result In the appeal OF the
extradition treaty he had so blamed. The treaty
he said. would be used by cunning Russian sub
terfuges to obtain the custody of political Of
tenders
Joseph BaTondess referred to President CleVe-
lands connection with the Russian arbitration
treaty, and was greeted by Kisses. Letters were
read from William Lloyd Garrison and Julia
Ward Howe collection was then taken up TO
assist I'm the escape OF Russian exiles In Siberia
in prison.
Resolutions were adopted denOuncing the
treatment OF Finland, persecution for the saks
or religion, and other atrocities and urging the

cnARITY or THE CHEAP.
Good Man Fills Hungry stomaehs at
the Expense Of Restau-
rateur.

One OF those toil-hardened. true
hearted chaps often read Of IN romanees
made his appearance In a street In Liver
pool the other day. and his sympathies
were at once aroused by the sight OF three
or four old men standing about looking
for work. relates London Tit-Bits.
'I'll be hanged # It isn't hard on you" /"
he replied. when they told him that they
hadn't had any work for a month How
would you HE some oysters?"
They smacked their lips by way Of
reply, and ne gathered up q crowd OF
eight, marched them to a restaurant, and
ordered oysters for each one.
1T just does my soul good TO see them
eatl" he said TO the owner Of the place as
the eight got to work.
Yes. It's a beautiful sight" was the
reply.
ut makes me feel good in here" con-
tinued the stranger. laying his hand on
his heart.
"A good deed brings its own reward .
was the soft answer Of the restaurateur.
as he calculated profits.
II can't rest here--I must DO further
good" said the blg-hearted man. and he
rushed out and brought IN three cab
men, a chimney-sweep twd boys. and
an old woman. and ordered more oysters.
The Is people went for oyster soup In q
manner 70 amaze. and their generous
friend nudfed the restaurateur in the
ribs and said
"Jnst look AZ EN-. oh, that could
feed the poor Of all Llverpooll"
You are good man and Heaven will
reward you" replied the proprietor as
he hlled up the dishes again.
The stranger said he wanted to bring
IN Just five more, so as 10 say that he had
fed an even score. and he rushed out
after them. while the restaurateur sent
ont for more oysters and bread.

In the Craftsman.
It was therefore with feelings Of
complacency that | received the sug-

oats by steam. The machinery arrived
in two OF three ponderous wagons, Ike

the oats into the machine, but II re-

Of oats and the heaps Of straw and Of
chaff which piled up with miraculous
rapidity.

OF farmwork is that you can talk as
much as you like, but the din Of this
engine made conversation impossible

rather proud Of our barn and consider

stone and measures i50 feet by so, but

might get acquainted with II. but they
absolutely refused to cultivate friendly
relations and every nerve in their
bodies protested against the transform
alton OF a barn into a steam factory
And we had little taste OF the bad
results OF factory work on the workers
