Chairman Stuart McRea of the com

 noon gave out 8 statement showing
 the employers side of the strike sito

 he said that December 15, commit
 tee from the union made a demand on
 the employers for an eight hour day
 instead of nine as before. at the same scale. The employers decided. after carefully weighing the matter, to ac- cede to their demands, but at the same time requesting that the union allow one extra hour after the day at the prevailing scale, as previously demand ed. to be worked at the discretion of
 the employers, and after nine hours to give the increase demanded for over
 time. The employers met all demands except one hour per day after eight hours, but would not agree to give time. and half for the ninth hour. Con tinuing, Mir. McRea said

THE FIGHTING RACE
Oyama and Oku Are Both Finnegans
by Descent.

1t is all explained now. The reason
why the laps are fighting so desperately
and winning so many battles is because
their generals are of Irish descent.
|Oyama and Oku are both Finnegans by
descent, and though some generations
removed, have the fighting blood IN
them When the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians met in Iogansport, Ind, some
time ago one of the orators was y. +.
Smith, State labor organizer, and in the
course of his speech he said:
"Oyama is of Irish ancestry, and his
name as originally borne by his fore
bears was OfYama. The original
O'Yama whose given name was Patrick
left Ireland during the Elizabethan era
for France, but was stipwrecked in the
Bay of Biscay and rescued by Span
ish ship bound for the Philippines. He
was taken there and cast adrift. His de-
scendants went to Japan and turned
naturally to the career of fighting men.
Intermarriage with the natives gave
them standing and position close to the
Mikado, which was advanced by their
activity in military affairs.
General Oku's name originally was
O'Kough, who. though a military gen
ius, was poor hand at spelling. The
Japanese alphabet proved too much for
him, and by imperial edict he was given
permission to cut out a few letters.
Thus the family name became Oku,
and the sons and grandsons for many
generations followed the fighting trade. i"
The secret is out land Russia might
as we'll give up the ghost and give over
all attempts at fighting, when the los
from the old country" are arrayed
against her. Kuropatkin's name is Irish
in the middle, but he seems to be play
ing both ends against the middle in his
foot racing to get away.

| GOVERNOR J. K. VARDAMAN'S
TRIBUTE TO HIS MOTHER.


The following beautiful piece of word
painting was given to the press on Fri
day last by Governor Vardanan, of Mis-
sissippi upon the death of his mother.
Surely it has touched tender chord in
in many hearts:
ITO My Friends-It matters not
whether it comes in the rose-tinted
morning of infancy, when all earth
sparkles with the dewdrops of joy, or
like the thunderbolt falling unhearalded
from a clear sky in the fu1l-orbed noon
of manhood, or quietly taking possession
of its victim in the evening of life, when
the shadows of night are fast gathering
around the stopped and aged FORM death
is tragedy as deep and dark as can be
woven of the warp and wool of hope
and despair.
"While we know that all who breathe
and tread the earth today must at last
share the destiny of those who have
passed over that bridge which spans the
mysterious river-the dividing line be-
tween the two eternities-still, when the
end comes and Our beloved ones are car
ried from us, we are wholly unprepared
for the sacrifice, and in the shadow of
an overwhelming sorrow the heart stag
gers, hope grows dim for a time, and
human understanding is turned to con-
fusion.
"And especially is that TRUE if that
loved one be the mother. Mother! The
sweetest word that ever sacntihed hui
man lips, or glori6ed the human voice
the well-pring oil love, the inspiration,
the benediction to mankind.
For all l have, or hope to be, l owe
to my mother. In the hour of adver-
sity, when the obstacles across my path
way seemed insuperable, her judgment
was always unerring, and her consum-
ing love was tonic to my Tagging
spirits. In her life she bodied forth
the spirit of the Nazarene, living the
things that others prayed; and it mat
tered not how great the trial, or dark
the prospects, she looked deep into the
future with the eye of faith, and heI
sublime soul vast serene Even though
the
Face of God grew dim,
She held through the dark and trustee
Him."
Il know she is at rest tonight, but
her going has left a vacancy in my life
which eternity alone can fill.'''

THE BOUT
The Decision of Referee Ryan Critl-
Cised

The ten-round contest between Jack
Gardner and "Frenchy" Fay attracted a
large and appreciative gathering at the
Shreveport Athletic Club last night.
The two principals were in good form
and promised great sport to the audi
ence.
Jack Riley and Albert Des Carlos
were in Fay's corner with Prof. Richie
and Rosenthal looking after Gardner.
The timekeepers were Secretary Roehm
and J. Casey.
During the contest of ten rounds
there was no knock down. Referee Ryan
gave the decision to Fay, which was
criticised by many in the gathering.
One of the pleasing features of the
event was the exhibition by Prof.
Richie, the iron-jawed man, who full
filled every expectations He gave an
interesting and instructive lecture on
physical culture and on his own style,
which is peculiar to himself.

THINGS JAPANESE
Nogi and Kuroki Are Presbyterians.
Togo Is Roman Catholic.

It is interesting to learn that General
Kuroki are members of the resbyterian
church, and that Field Marshal Oyama' S
wife is also a member in good standing
Of that denomination.
Admiral Togo is Roman Catholic.
Other instances of high Japanese Of
6cials being Christians might be noted.
No country in the world today pos
sesses larger measure of religious lib
erty than does Japan. That is one OF
the secrets of her success and progress
during these latter years.
Japanese shipping tonnage passed
from $4,000 tons in 1890 to 100000 tons
in 1903.
Japan has 85S technical schools. The
government runs nine of these; 7o5 are
supported by local authorities and 81
are private establishments. The total
includes three institutes established by
the government for the training OF
teachers in technical schools. But the
Japanese do not depend on schools, col
ieges and universities as the only-or
the. chief-n1eans of educating men tc
advance the welfare of the empire. They
have the habit of sending their best
men-students, professors, manufacture
,ers and merchandise the various coun-
tries in the search for knowledge and
experience.
