the book will now be a large volume

one of the most valuable collections

Tri.City Press Club Adopts the In.
itiatiye.

The Tri-City Press club at it's regu-
lar monthly meeting last evening adop-
ted the initiative In the interests of the
arsenal. particularly as il affects the wei
fare of labor under the stress of existing
conditions. This was accomplished
through the medium of a resolution in
structing the clubs general coopera-
tive committee to memorabilia congress
protesting against the piece work sys-
TEN AZ present in vogue So far as Il
operates against labor. and likewise
the recently adopted policy of the ORD.
nance department in turning into the
hands of private contractors the nat
ural and legitimate products of the ar
Senal as a military manufacturing in
stitution. and furthermore to seek to
correct the impression created through
the phraseology of the resolution adop-
ted by the American Federation OF
Labor Condemniug the arsenal as a
sweat shop" In its adopted action
the press club asks the Endorsement of
all bodies in the three cities whose OBJ
ject is the protection and development
of the arsenal in common with all en-
terprises and industries identified with
the community.
Relative TO the piece work and
contract systems as they pertain
tn labor conditions at the arsenal,
the press club acts in accord with the
same spirit and principle. Considerato
of the welfare of labor. that il does in
deprecating the effect OF the res
olution of the American Federation OF
Labor which singles out Rock Island

Can Such Things Be?

In 1896 gold standard advocates
spoke in this vein,-
Who wants 10 carry around a peck
ct full of silver dollar cart wheels.
big weighty and cumbersome? Who
wants a dollar that Will not pass as a
dollar the world over. wherever he may
chance TO be- You think that the sill
yer dollar You have in your possession
Is worth a dollar don't you? But il
isn't; it's worth only - cents. It's
a dishonest dollar. bur that's the kind
of a dollar the silver men say shall be
the standard. If they owe you 500.
they want 10 pay you in silver dollars,
give YOU 10 for 20. 30 cents on the
dollar What we want. and what We
must have. is money that will pass as
currency the world over"
Remarking on this the Dubuque Tel
egraph-Herald calls attention TO the
fact that a gentleman who sought 10
purchase a ticket at station on the
Milwaukee roailroad offered in pay
ment a s. gold piece which showed
some wear The agent declined TO re-
ceive il and called the travellers atten-
ton to an order directing him not to
receive any gold coins which showed
wear. The traveller thereupon paid for
his ticket with FIVE silver dollars.
This incident occurred few weeks
ago. several years after the people said
they wanted gold money that would
pass as currency the world over. and
not cumbersome silver dollars worth
% cents

accomplish the defeat of the very object
it is sought most to atfain-the holding
secure 10 the arsenal of the man
ufacture of products that legitimately
belong TO il. Any effort TO awaken
congress or to arouse executive action
to the evils of the contract system
would be confronted with the resolu-
ton denOuncing the arsenal as an unfit
place for labor TO be employed, and
hence the operation of the resolution
against the identical thing il is sought
to accomplish.
From the present view of the case
the American Federation of Labor
would have better reached the seat of
the trouble had the scope of its resolu-
ton pertained 10 the general tendency
force at every arsenal specifying in
stances. if such there are. of exception
al discrimination against labor at Rock
Island arsenal, than in its sweeping al
legation as 10 the nature of the shops.
Ii is the hope that. with the proper
agitation which the press club has
started. the influence of the private
concern. both as il affects the condi-
tiOns under which labor is employed at
the arsenal and the grasping from the
government of the class of manufac-
tuTe that such plants as the arsenal
were constructed at tremendous ex,
pense TO manufacture, will be presently
removed and that a better understand
ing may be reached as 10 the cause and
effect of unfair conditions.

Saved by Dynamite.

Sometimes, a flaming city is saved
by dynamiting a space that the fire
cannot cross. Sometimes, a cough
hangs on so long, you feel as if moth
ing but dynamite would cure it. T. T
Gray, of Calhoun, Ca, writes: "My
wife had a very aggravated cough
which kept her awake nights. Two
physicians could not help her; so she
took Dr. Kings New Discovery fol
Consumption. Coughs and Colds, and

of famous firm of courteriers In the
latter thoroughfare.
What we do with our latest models
Is to show them to only the select few
well known to MS. Even from them we
hide all models except those which
will appeal to their personal require.
ments.
THE latest design is as carefully
guarded as a new play In the early
stages Of rehearsal. But frequently
the owner or creator Of a model is an.
tlcipated by some rival.
Last spring. for example, the pro-
prietor of an establishment In Regent
street saw two ladies In the park who
were wearing dresses built on model
which he had treasured almost In Sc
crct for month. The slightest altera-
ton had been made In order to remove
possible difficulties, as the design was
registered.
..Searching inquiries by the proprietor
revealed the fact that one of his regu-
lar customers dressed herself at the ex-
pense of Vienna firm whom she sup.
piled with designs carefully drawn
from memory after inspecting the lat
est creations in his showroom. When
the lady next called-the autumn styles

FOR THE BABY.

II economy has to be studied in the
home OF the new baby an ordinary
clothes basket. costing twenty-five
cents, may be transformed into most
charming and comfortable nest for the
little stranger. where most OF the time
for the first six months Of life may be
spent.
First cover the basket with pink,
blue or white cambrlc: make pad OF
curled hair for the bottom; cover this
with oiled silk. Then take white dotted
Swiss and cover the cambrlc: make n
deep ruilie around the top. which may
be plain or edged with ribbon or lace;
wind the handles with ribbon, tying
big bow at the side. A tiny pillow may
be added for the downy head, but most
nurses disapprove OF pillows Of any
size.
Now for the chest upon which tho
basket can rest. A wooden box thirty
inches long and twenty-five inches high
is the foundation of one recently seen.
II came from the store filed with small
parcels and was about to be consigned
TO the basment or kindling wood, when
'.the matron" rescued 1t and announced
that from 1t the baby's hamper ant
basket were to be evolved.
The ian OF the house smoothed the
rough edges, made lid, and then a
tray Of very light wood was fitted In
the top, Just like a trunk tray. The
entire chest was lined with blue cam.
brio; the tray was covered with blue,
then with white point desprit; pin
cushions. pockets and powder box were
all put in this tray: 1t was made exactly
Ike the time honorcd baby basket.
The top of the chest cover hna \
piece OF blue silk elastic fastened iii.
agonally across, which held the brush,
comb and other small articles. Under
the tray was plenty Of room for the
tiny clothes. The outside of the chest
was covered with tapestry, but ere
