FIRE IS AN EPIDEMIC

The fire laddies were kept pretty
busy Thursday night. The first alarm
came in about 1890 and the blaze was
found to be in the residence of G.. w.

save the building anc contents, but
about a. m. the second alarm from
the same place sounded, and the re-

impossible. The flames, however.
were controlled before total loss
was sustained. About a. m. a third

UNION COMMENT

imported to Seattle by sthe Oriental
Trading Co., many white laborers
were displaced by cheaper contract
labor. On the completion of the
railway construction work these
foreigners picked up skilled trades,
such as shOemaking, cabinet working,
and cigar making, thereby displacing
many more white men. The members
OF the cigarmakerS' union, seeing the
startling menace of this system,
began an agitation not only against
the employment Of the Chinese. but
decrying the purchase Of goods Of
their making as we'll.
10 distinguish the products of the
Caucasians a white label was placed
upon each cigar box, on which was
printed statement that the cigars
were made by white men, and it was
requested that white men should buy
no others. This was the first union
label.
subsequently the color was changed
to blue. By persistent agitation, ad-
vertising, and missionary work the
cigarmakers have succeeded in con-
Vlnclng many people that the best
plan is to purchase only cigars which
come from boxes bearing this dis
tinguishing mark. Their example has
been followed by organized workers in
other lines.
A list OF the various UniOE labels
would be rather lengthy and need not
be given here. The aim and objects
Of the union label with reasons why
both union and non-uniOn people
should demand label goods, are of
more Importance and may be briefly
stated.
The aims and objects are:
|. To advertise the fact that there
is a union of the craft making the
goods labeled.
2. To guarantee that all such goods
have been produced under fair condi-
tions as to hours, pay and surround
ings Of employees.
;. To increase the demand for such
goods and thus convince employers
that it pays to have the approval of
organized labor and it's friends.
Why purchase union label goods?
l. Because they are produced by
people receiving fair pay and treat
ment.
2. Because the label guarantees
such goods to be free from disease
germs SO often carried by articles
produced under the "sweating" pro-
cess.
3. Because the price for quality is
practically the same as for non-label
goods.
4. Because the buyer can be as
sured that he is not purchasing the
life blood OF oppressed men, women
and children, but the product of hon
est industry.
s. Because such purchasers will
strengthen labor organizations and
encourage them to make further eff
forts to benefit the working people.
&. Because it will put more money
in circulation by causing greater de-
mand for and consumption Of such
goods, with consequent increased en-
ployment OF organized, we'll paid
workers.

there charge of murder was brought
against him. OF course. it was a
false and cruel charge He told me
afterward how he had surrendered.
One day he was riding along at the
head of his command. when he was
lying right in the road over which
his troops must pass the helpless form
of wounded confederate officer.
Gen. Powell sprang from his horse
and. lifting the man from his peril
Gus position. carried him to the side
OF the road and laid him down under
tree. and then rushed back and
mounted his horse. He was so far
ahead of his troopers that he did all
this and still was in the lead
The officer was found dead by his
friends and Gen. Powell was charged
with having murdered him 1 saw the
sergeant of the guard take him out of
Libby prison and put him into the
dungeon to await his trial upon this
false accusation He was Kept in
the dungeon for thirty-seven days.
and then was released because no
proof was forthcoming that could be
brought up against him. There was
no furniture in the cell where he was
confined except a wooden bench, and
NAAO iOOAA was udi n anu ulSIndl enough
The rats which abounded in the pris-
on were his only companions.
We had a custom in the room in
Libby prison where Milroy's men were
confined of singing an evening hymn,
and every evening Nearer, My God
to Thee" or Rock of Ages. Cleft for
Me-" or some other familiar hymn
would be sung by the prisoners One
day 1 received note from Gen.
Powell, which was brought to me
secretly by colored man, which read
as follows: Dear Chaplain: Sing a

H. Powell
And always after that appeal from
the dungeon we pitched our tunes in
little higher key so that our lonely
| suffering comrade, far below, could
hear the hymns he loved so we'll.

assemblies, he would take it out and

Few people know inst what is done
when telephone company buries its
lines. To begin with, the wires them
selves must be combined in cables. the
making OF which involves many intri-
cate and expensive processes. The
finished cable looks like lead pipe.
and, indeed. that is exactly what it
is But while most pipes are made
for the conveyance of liquids, this one
must be so tight and thoroughly
sealed that not a trace of moisture can
work its way into it The pipe is
filed with hundreds of wires, each
wrapped in covering of paper. the
dry air in the folds of the wrappinss
and in the substance of the paper
itself affording the most perfect insu-
lation. During its manufacture. while
IT is being transported from place to
place and drawn into conduits under
the streets, and afterward, whenever
it is necessary to touch it for purposes
of making connections or repairs. the
cable must be handled as carefully as
if its sheath were made of glass, for
a hole the size of a pin in the lead
covering means the ruin of a whole
section.

The Price of Indoor Life.

Within the past twenty years there
has been steady development of con-
fidence in the out-of-door method of
treating pulmonary tuberculosis. The
wonderful success that has attended
the outdoor treatment in all countries,
irrespective of altitude or special eli
matte advantages, has demonstrated
the immense value of the outdoor life
as curative means. This is not sur
prising, since man is naturally an out
of-door animal. The indoor life which
most civilized human beings live is
wholly artificial. We pay an enor-
nous price for the luxury of living in
houses. Not only pulmonary tuber-
culosis, but a large number of other
chronic maladies are the natural out
growth of the lowered vital resistance
which results from the conditions i'm
posed by modern civilized life.
We have become too much civilized.
A mild return to savagery is the one
thing needful at the present time. In
cold weather we can not live out of
doors, but we can take care to supply
our living rooms, and especially our
bedrooms with an abundant supply of
pure cold air. This is a very excel
lent remedy for morning headaches,
which usually mean air-poisoning.

Grants Suggestion Ignored.

According to the ideas of Harmon
W. Brown, war secretary of the great
commander. if Gen. Grants sugges-
tions to Lincoln and the secretary of
war in the earlier days Of the war
had been adopted, the battle of Chick
amauga, the second battle of Corinth
the siege of Vicksburg and perhaps
many other engagements need never
have taken place
After the battle of Corinth, Gen
Halleck left Grant in command of
125 900 men with which the latter de-
sired to march through the Confed-
eracy to some point on the gulf, Mo-
bile being his favorite. as this would
have destroyed the railroad communi-
cations and perhaps have opened up
the Mississippi river
Cen Halleck refused Grant permits
sion to do this and scattered this
great army in every direction The
same thing happened after Vicksburg,
says Private Brown, when Grants
army numbered $4,000 Grant again
asked permission to take this large
force through the Confederacy and as
before the request was refused
Everyone, says Brown, knows the
result now, and after it was all over
Grant was again ordered to Washing
ton and told to go ahead on his own
plans The result of his campaign is

Nobility


True worth is in being not seeming;
In doing. each day that goes by
Some little goOd-not in the dreaming
OF great things to do by and by
For whatever men say in blindness
And spite of the fancies of youth
There's nothing kingly as kindness.
And nothing royal as truth
We get back mete we measured
We can not do wrong and feel right
Nor can We give pain and gain pleasure
For justice avengeS each slight
The air Tor the wing of the sparrow,
The bush for the robin wren
But always the path that is narrow
And straight for the children of men,
We can not make bargains for blisses.
Nor catch them like fishes in nets,
And sometimes the thing our life misses
Helps more than the thing which II
gets
For good lieth not in pursuing.
Nor gaining of great nor of small;
But just in the doing-and doing
As We would be done by. is all
Through envy. through malice. through
hating
Against the world early and late.
No iot of our courage abating.
Our part is to work and to wait
And slight is the sting of his trouble
Whose winnings are less than MS
worth.
For he who is honest is noble
Whate- his fortunes or birth

Alcohol VS.. STRENGTH.

The 1aborer. the traveller, and the
soldier use alcohol under the delusion
that it produces strength When IA
tigued, the laborer takes a glass of
grog, and feels better. He imagines
himself stronger. His increased
strength, however, is wholly a matter
of Imagination.
The use of alcohol makes a man
feel stronger-makes him believe that
he can do more work, endure more
fatigue and hardship. and withstand a
greater degree of cold than he could
without it; but when an actual trial
Is made, it soon becomes apparent
that the ability is lacking. Numerous
experiments have shown that alcohol
decreases muscular strength. Says
DR.. Brunton, 1.-The smallest quantity
takes somewhat from the strength of
the muscles" Says DR.. Edmunds, OF
London, "A stimulant is that which
gets strength out of a man."
Some years ago series of expert
ments were made for the purpose of
determining the influence of alcohol
upon the muscular strength. The
combined strength of all the different
groups of muscles in the body was
found, in the case of healthy young
man, to be 1881 pounds. The young
man was then given two ounces of
brandy, and the test was repeated.
He felt confident that his strength
was increased In fact, it was found
to be only 1886 pounds, a loss of more
than one-third. A notable diminution
in strength was still present ten hours
after the administration of the
brandy.
