TUESDAY EVENING. JULY %, 1904.

THE STRIKE Of the meat handlers IN
Chicago, il is hoped, will not end as
have many which have characterized
labor turmoils in that city in the past
score Of years. The terrible Haymarket
riots of 1886, the murder of policemen
by anarchists and the hanging of some
of the principals form a dark chapter ID
the history of the windy city. The tur-
bulency which has attended the strike
of the meat handlers has not, so far,
produced serious results, although grave
conditions are feared if the strike con-
tinues. At present men are working ID
stockades, and the time has again come
when people Ito use figure OF speech)
are toiling with trowel in one hand and
a sword in the other. The spirit Of dis
order is becoming Ihore pronounced
yearly, and it affords grave sign OF the
times. The unfortunate troubles IN
Colorado had barely run their course
when, like hot waves in summer, an
other ominous cloud is seen to be follow
ing in its wake and Chicago and other
cities are thrown into CONSERVATION by
the meat handlers. The textile workers
in Fall River have also stopped work,
and trouble now exists in that place. l:
there is to be no end of these troublesi
The hearts of the great majority have
long since grown weary of them, anc
should the ancient observation, sit IL
generally darkest just before day." b'
correct, it is time some beam Of ligb'
was making itself manifest. Speed thu
day that Will bring an end to this war
fare between men and men.

Philadelphia, July 25.-When the
doctors at st. Timotby's Hospital sug-
gested that they use hot irons to bring
Miss Della Green out Of the trance into
which she had fallen, the girl opened
her eyes, sat up in bed, and protested
An hour later she was in her home, as
we'll as ever. Miss Green became sud-
denly i'll at her parents home, Mana
yunk, last Friday, and fell into faint.
A physician was summoned, but all at
tempts to revive her failed, and she was
removed to St. Timothy's Hospital.
There the physicians failed to arouse
the sleeping girl, until yesterday, when
the hot irons we're suggested. Then heI
forty hours trance came to an abrupt
end, and she was discharged from the
hospital cured. Beyond little weak
ness, the girl suffers no i'll effects of hel
long sleep The doctors say she was
suffering from a form OF hysteria. She
could hear what was being said, but
was unable to move until the su question
Ct pain shocked her into consciousness

dent of THE Fourth National Bank, Of
New York, Mr.. Simmons, who is one of
the Judges strongest supporters, in the
world OF finance, came to congratulate
him upon his gold standard declaration,
and to talk over the ways and means of

stood that the matter of campaign fund
is causing neither the nominee nor his
friends any great amount OF worry, and
that all the money needed will be OBJ
tanned. Mr.. Simmons said Judge
Parker's candidacp was viewed with
great confidence as to the outcome, and
the safety and sanity of the platform.

CardnIaying for Prizes.

Progressive euchre, bridge whist and
all the other games played in drawing
rooms for cut-glass prizes and other
articles of value cause more defalcations
than the games of chance presided over
by the professional gamblers. | appeal
to the social clubs and the women OF
this city to give me their aid in purify
ing Memphis"
Mayor Williams turned on the reform
element with this pronunciamento.
Driven by the demands of the committee
of public safely to close the gambling
houses, the Mayor went to the extent oil
shutting all the saloons of Memphis be-
tween the hours of midnight and 4
o'clock in the morning. Now he has
called on the women TO aid by stopping
their games in which rich prizes are
given. =.
1.-THE gambler frequently complains
with Justice" says the Mayor, "that II
is wrong for the police to arrest him
for risking nickel while the social
game for valuable stakes is allowed to
run"
Asa result of the plea formal an
nouncement was made by the Philadel-
phia Club, the Wednesday Club and the
exclusive Distaff Club that their card
parties for the coming week have been
indefinitely postponed.
Clubwomen do not believe that Mayor
Williams appeal is intended as threat
that he will enforce the law and prevent
social games. They are unanimous IN
the declaration that he is carrying the
crusade TOO far.

Mr.. ROOSEVELT, it is said, is anxious
to get Elihu Root to run next November
as the republican candidate for'Governor
of New York, and the President hopes to
cling tight enough to his coattail to carry
the Empire State. Should the plan
meet with success, Root is to be the can
didate for President in 1908. Senator
Plat is believed to be the master wire
puler in the scheme. This game hav-
ing been exposed, has caused consider
able dissatisfaction among other repub-
lican leaders who have been looking 10
these many years at the presidency with
covetous notably Secretary Shaw
and Speaker Cannon. They naturally
protest against Mr.. Roosevelt selecting
his successor. The Presidents painfully
aware of the fact that he is by no means
strong in New York in fact there Is
now much to strengthen the belief that
Judge Parker will cast him into an
eclipse in November. The present occu-
pant of the presidential chair has been
weighed in the balances by both parties,
and as time goes on his imrotency as
executive of the nation becomes more
glaring. The scheme described above is
transparent. and has naturally added to
the disgust already manifested toward
Mr.. Roosevelt him by good men of both
parties.

A STATEMENT in the London Times
last Monday shows that the White Star
Line has made enormous profits since
its organization in 1871, being never
less than per cent, Only three ye'rs
less than s per cent, nine years less than
90 per cent, six years at 80 per cent,
and 100 per cent during the year 1900.
As the highest dividends declared were
Is per cent, and the most frequent III
per cent, it thus appears that the bulk
of the earnings was applied to deprecia-
ton and insurance. Still, with these
immense profits to steamship owners a
ship subsidy bill will be forced upon the
tax payers OF this country if the repub-
licans succeed in the coming election.

cations in this country into political
party, the members of which are to vote
for no one for Congress, whether he be
republican or democrat, who will not

Woman Attacked by Negro.

News reached Newport News last
night of an attempt at criminal assault
on Miss Lizzie Davis. the young daugh-
ter of a prominent Warwick county farm
or, followed by similar attack on Mrs.
Mollie Davis, the girls mother, near
their home Saturday afternoon by George
Green, a negro, Is years old. Feeling
against the negro runs high, and the
guard at the Warwick county Jail, where
the man is now confined, has been strong
ly reinforced as a precaution against a
probable attempt at lynching. The affair
became known in the county shortly after
the attempt was made, and searching
parties secured that portion of the coun-
ty nearly all night in pursuit Of the ne
gro. He was discovered and arrested by
Sheriff Sydney Curtis Sunday afternoon
and lodged in Jail before the pursuing
mob arrived. According to the story,
Lizzie Davis, who was first attacked, was
in the woods near her home with an axe,
cutting some wood. heput the axe down
and was gathering some berries when the
negro approached her and attempted the
assault She managed to free herself,
and procuring the axe, which she used as
a weapon, drove the negro of. The negro
then went to the house, where he found
Mrs. MolIie Davis, the mother OF the
girl. He made an attack upon her, but
she defended herself with a knife snatch
ed from the table in the room. Both
women are muscular, and they displayed
remarkable strength in their struggles
with the negro. The iend was captured
later by the sheriff.

A $1,000 Gown Led to Divorce.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 26.-Iawrence
B. Jones, to whom the case was referred
as examiner, yesterday recommended that
Mrs. Helen G. Davis be granted di-
vorce from her husband, G. X. Davis.
Immediately after the report was filed a
rule was granted on the respondent to
show cause why the divorce should not
be granted. The husband is a wealthy
coal operator, and his marriage to Miss
Galatin, at st. Thomas Church, New
York, six years ago, was a society event.
The couple went on a European tour,
aud later started life in palatial home
in this city. Trouble soon appeared,
however, when the husband refused to
paw his wife's dresspiakers' bills. 1t was
claimed she was extravagant, as one
gown she purchased cost $1,000 but the
husband was sued for the bill. The
break between husband and wife was then
complete. The wife claimed her hus-
band had deserted her, and when she
wrote him letters he refused to answer.

State Federation is to Meet in Ogden
September IL.

The first annual convention of the
state Federation Of Labor will be held
IN Ogden, Sept Il, according to circu-
lars just issued by the secretary. Copies
will be sent not only to those organiza-
tons already affiliated with the feder-
alton, but to those unions which have

The object in calling a convention so
soon after the formation of the feder-
alton is for the purpose of bringing to
the attention of the people several
questions Of interest TO labor.
Among these questions are move
ments TO compel the passage Of an
amendment to the state constitution
providing for the initiative and refer
endum on all important questions af-
fecting the people of Utah and the pas
sage Of laws which viii make possible
more thorough inspection of the mine
workers at any time.
The convention will take measures to
lay both these matters before all caudi-
dates TO the legislature and viii endeavOr
TO exact pledges from them, wherever
possible, TO give their support to these
measures Labor organizations have
attempted to have these questions
passed by the two last legislatures but
were hardly given a respectful hearing,
they claim
