IDENT SHEA CRITICIZED.

Philadelphia, Aug. 10.-An unexpect-
ed demonstration occurred late today
at the teamsters convention. Il was
caused by telegram from the depart
ment store drivers of Chicago asking
for financial assistance. The telegram
said:
Two hundred men out and no Sun
day dinner in sight"
The delegates Immediately voted u
send $4,000 for the relief of the strik-
ers. AT once delegates representing
various other Chicago locals rose and
demanded assistance. II was finally
voted to send $4,000 additional 10 Chi
cage.
The report of the executive com.
mittee read today criticized President
Shea's conduct of the Chicago strike
The report stated also thar the com
mittee had decided that Chicago local
unions participating in strikes after
June q last, were doing so without
the sanction of the committee.

Secretary Hays Americanism was
evidenced in the fact that he was
equally at home on the prairie the

channels Of advancement still left op-

PROGRESS OR VANDALISM.

When we get Niagara harnessed
And her useless cliffs and crags
Have been dried to feed the warnings
OF our yawning money bags.
What a JOY will thrill our bosoms-
All romantic nonsense drowned
AS we hear her torrents thunder
Through the wheel pit under groundl
Then we'll blast away Goat island,
Turn it into building blocks.
Put turbine in the whirlpool,
Build shot towers down the rocks.
How We'll pity our poor forebears,
Prating OF aesthetic taste,
While allowing, thoughtless fellows.
All those kilowatts TO waste!
n
Forward. Spirit of Progression!
Natures still giddy shirk.
Tear away her fancy toggings.
Get her into trim for work.
Turn the Adirondack forest
Into neat and useful planks;
Straighten out the crooked Hudson,
Line with piers her grassy banks.
Crush the Dunderberg for pavements,
Make the Palisades cement
Fill the Catskiils up with signboards--
Lots of good rock space to rent.
Rip the redwoods into shingles.
Sow the Yellowstone to wheat,
Turn the geysers into laundries
And the bear and deer to meat.
What are mere aesthetic faneies,
Hill or vale or wood or Vine
To the graceful curves and meaning
OF the pleasing dollar sign?

Private Funeral.

New Orleans, La, Aug. 10.-Tn order
that no unnecessary risks might be
taken il was announced today both
by Surgeon White and by Father
Scott, in charge of the arrangements,
that the funeral of the late Archbish-
OPP Chapele Saturday will be private
Dr. White said it was a fact accepted
by scientists that yellow fever could
not be transmitted by a corpse but it
is considered there would be some
element of danger in attracting to the
cathedral an immense assemblage of
people from all sections of the city.
The cathedral is located within the
originally infected district within a
stones throw of the French market
and there has been fever on all sides
of it.
Today solemn requiem mass was
said in honor of the dead archbishop.
The body rested on a bier in the
main aisle, and it was found that the
remains were sufficiently preserved
| to permit the removal Of the metallic
covering. Many people viewed the re-
mains through the glass.
| With the death rate remaining low
er than in the previous visitations of
the fever, the feeling here among
both the health authorities and the
laity continues hopeful. Physicians
realize that two months or more re.
