I'd THE HEROIC SOUL.


Be strong, o warning soul! for very sooth
Kings are but wraiths, republics fade
like rain,
Peoples are reaped and garnered as the
grain,
And only that persists which is the truth;
Be strong when all the days of life bear
And fury and are hot with toll and
strain;
Hold thy large faith and quell thy
mighty PAIN
Dream the great dream that buoys thine
age with youth.
Thou art an eagle mewed in stopped
cave;
He, poised in darkness with victorious
Keeps night between the granite and
Until the tide has drawn the warder-wave,
Then, from the portal where the ripple
sings,
He bursts into the boundless morn
ing-free.

Der Atlantic,
Mark Twain tells an interesting story in
connection with the late Charles Darwin.
He was informed by friend who was Wis
iting the eminent scientist that he had no
ticed a copy of "The Innocents Abroad
lying on the great mans table, Darwin re-
book as it was his practice to read il
night and morning. On the appearance OF
Darwin's biography Mark Twain FASTENED
to purchase a copy in order to ascertain
what reference to himself it might
tain. There was, however, no mention
whatever Of his name, the only possible
allusion to him being the statement that
Darwin in his old age suffered from some
kind of brain paralysis which prevented
him from following his ordinary mental
pursuits and compelled him to solace him
self with trashy novels and vacuous
humor.''

COTTON MILLS CLOSED
MORE THAN THIRTY THOUSAND
OPERATIVES ON STRIKE At
FALL RIVER, MASS.

Fall River, Mass. July 25-The
strike order issued by the Fall River
textile council calling for upwards of
10000 operatives to remain away from
the mills in protest against reduc-
tion of 1917 per cent in wages became
effective during the day. In the eighty
one mills involved in the agreement
to reduce wages it is estimated that
not more than 300 entered the gates
and before s o'clock practically every
mill involved in the trouble had shut
down. The strikers, who in some in
stances had assembled near the mills.
dispersed quietly. The only mill hav-
ing more than score of employees
ready for work was the Bourne. where
over 100 weavers had gone in.
Both sides admit that this is the be-
ginning of one of the most determined
contests which Fall River has ever
seen. The manufacturers maintain
that they have tried every plan which
they could think of to avoid a reduc-
ton in wages and took that final step
only when driven to do so to save their
business. On the other hand the op.
eratives say that the conditions affect
ing cotton manufacture here did not
warrant such reduction.
The companies involved in the strike
operate eighty-one mills. with about
3,250,O00 spindles, and a weekly prod
uct, when running in full, of more than
900,0O0.000 yards of cloth.

HARVARD AND VALE DEFEAT OK.
FORD AND CAMBRIDGE IN
ATHLETIC CONTESTS.

London, July 23.-Yale and Harvard
were the victors in the international
games held during the day at the
Queens club, West Kensington. They
defeated Oxford and Cambridge in six
out of nine events before an immense
crowd which never lost interest even
in such a tedious contest as the ham,
mer throwing. A mast was placed on
one side of the field from which few
American and British flags as the vic.
tory went from one side to the other.
It finally floated the Stars and Stripes
as an official notification of the sue.
cess of the blue and crimson.
Weather suited the Americans splen-
didly, being intensely warm, and the
clouds covering the heavens occasion
ally letting fall light sprinkle of rain.
G. N. Jackson, steward for Oxford and
Cambridge, congratulated the Amer
leans. He said:
"While anticipated the Americans
would win did not believe it would
be by six to three. Our men in the
high jump and quarter were not up to

Among the distinguished spectators
were Ambassador Choate and his fam
lily, Secretary White and Mrs. White

be regarded as not having taken place
and the ships concerned at once re-

While not admitting the illegality
of the Russian action in converting
vessels of the volunteer feet into war
ships after they had reached the Red
sea, it is probable, in view of the fact
that neutral ships did not receive pre-
vious notice, that Russia, in order to
remove the shadow of cloud upon
their right to fly the war flag. will
formally notify the powers Of their
conversion into warships, thus putting
all neutrals upon their guard.
In the meantime all the ships seized
will be released unless the captains
refuse to show their manifests, in
which event the procedure in the case

Yokohama, July 26.-Captain Brown
Of the steamship Tsinan. which

says that the knight Commander met
three Russian warships at 1880 on Sat
urday morning OFF the Province izu.
The Russian officers who boarded the
knight Commander took her captain
back with them and ordered the crew
Of the knight Commander to come on
board one of the Russian warships
within ten minutes. The Russians
then sank the knight Commander.
At s o'clock In the afternoon the
Russian vessel met the Tsinan and
transferred the crew Of the Knight

that besides sinking the knight

they also sank two small Japa-

MEAT STRIKE RENEWED.
Employees Claim Packers Violated the
Agreement.

Chicago, July 22.-The packinghouse
strike has been ordered renewed in
Chicago and all other cities. Viola
tion of agreement by the packinghouse
proprietors is assigned as the reason.
During the morning 5000 cattle
butchers reported at the stock yards
here for work. Only half of them
were given places. Thereupon all re-
fused to work. They reported in a
body at their union headquarters. The
general order for renewal of the
strike was soon forthcoming.
While the immediate provocation
for the renewal of the strike was ap-
parently the failure of the packers to
take back a larger portion of the strik-
ers who reported for work, the real
cause Of the rupture was inferred to
be circular issued by the packers
The circular purported to explain to
the public the agreement entered into
with the labor leaders. Seemingly the
circular could be taken as implying
the agreement did not bind the pack
ers to re-employ all of the men who
walked out. The construction the la
Dor leaders had placed upon the agree
ment was that all should be re-em-
ployed within forty-five days.

Chicago, July 26.-With all peace

gineers. out on strike in sympathy
with the butcher workmen who quit
work two weeks ago, the stock yards

what promises to be one of the bitter
est fights between capital and labor
In the history of America.
AS has been threatened for some
time, the allied trades employed in the
packing industry quit work when
when called on Monday to assist the
striking butchers in their efforts to
bring the packers to terms. In sew
eral instances the men did not wait
for the official notification from their
leaders to go on strike, but threw
down their tools and quit work of their
own volition. At o'clock at night the
statement was made by Michael j.
Donnelly, president of the butchers
union, that every union man employed
lat the stockyards, with the exception
of the teamsters and engineers, had
responded to orders for general SYM
pathetic strike. The engineers, he
declared, would join the strikers Tues
day and unless there was speedy
settlement of the difficulty, he said,
the teamsters would undoubtedly join
their brother workmen in their strug-
gle for supremacy.
Nearly Thirty Thousand Out.
According to Mr.. Donnelly Mondays
strike swelled the number of men who
have quit work at the stockyards in
Chicago alone to nearly 10000 persons.
Both sides to the controversy de-
clared last night that they were per-
fectly satisfied with the present state
Of affairs and that they were willing
to make it fight to a finish to de-
termine who shall dictate the terms of
To- settlement.
According to the packers the general
strike Monday was failure, it being
claimed by them that not over one
half the members of the allied trades
quit work when officially called out
by their leaders in the morning. The
further statement was made by the
packers that should all the union men
decide to join the strike it would
make little difference to the employ
ers, as they had sufficient resources to
contest the ground for an indefinite
period.
