CHICAGO EMPLOYERS
 RESIST THE PRINTERS
Meeting Was Held to Devise Means of Fighting the Recent Union
 Demands.

Chicago. September 14-Concerted action between the members of the Chicago Typothetae and a number of the big in- dependent employers of printers was de- eided on today in an effort to oppose the demands of the union job printers of Chicago. The Typographical union today filed demands on the independent job and book publishing houses for an S-hour day and union conditions after January 1. After the union had ordered out 100 men in eight of these houses for the refusal to grant the demand of the union, the Chicago Typothetae, whose members are already involved in a strike invited the independent master printers to meet the members of the Typothetae in an effort to devise means of fighting the union de- mands.
 Nearly 100 independents attended the meeting. A motion was unanimously adopted to have a committee of twelve appointed to arrange for the formation of an organization of independent master printers to resist the S-hour day plan. Pledges were made by most of the in- dependents present that they would tenn porarily affiliate themselves with the Chi cago Typothetae in the struggle against the union.
 During the day more than fifty small independent establishments which the unions made demands agreed to the pro- posals presented by the union.

Making an Audience Laugh.

David Warfield in Success Magazine"
 1 am glad there is no recipe for mak- ing an audience laugh. We should thank heaven that it is so. There are enough people trying it now, but think of the hordes that would descend on the un- suspecting public If some one were able to tell "how" in a few comprehensible lines. Either one Is born with the power to make others laugh or he Is not; there is no learning how unless you have the gift.
 Some one has said that to make au- dences really laugh you must feel the laugh yourself-must be moved by the humor of the lines or of the situation. To my mind that is not so. Try saying the same inc and making the same ges- ture at exactly the same place every night for six months and see just how much you are moved by the humor. It
 is easier, far easier to be moved by a pathetic situation each night than 1t Is to feel like laughing
 An American audierce naturally likes the American type of humor-where little imagination So. to my mind, it is best that the lines you speak shall be really humorous, in that they suggest some ex- ceedingly funny situation or thought But-and here is the secret-before you speak them you must really understand them and know what line of thought causes them to be spoken. If you can do this you can communicate their humor.

One More In the Cabinet.

From Leslie's Weekly.
 It is understood that President Roose- welt, in his message at the opening of Congress, will urge that body to create a department of mines, with it's head a member of the cabinet. A bill for that purpose is to be introduced on the first day of the session. Only four per sons-the heads of the state, treasury, and war departments, and the attorney general-sat down at President Wash- ingtons council table. A secretary of the navy came in John Adams time; the postmaster general was advanced to cabinet grade in Jackson's days, and secretary of the interior came in Taylor's presidency. Those seven off, cials constituted the Presidents official advisers until long after the civil war. A secreary of agriculture was crated in the latter part of Clevelands first term, and secretary of commerce and labor came two years ago. Thus the cabinet which started out with four members eleven and half decades ago has been increased to nine. If Roosevelt gets a secretary of mining he will have obtained two new cabinet departments, which w. mean that he has broken the presidential record in a new place.

TOWN RICH IN HEIREssEs.
Wealthy 5rockline a Desirable Place
 For Eligible Young Men.

From the New York Press.
 A preliminary count from the bureau of statistics gives the population of Brookline Mass, as 23.424, of which 9067 are males and 13,S17 are females. Brook line is the richest town in the world, and the home of almost all Bostons million aires. Scores of leading families are boyless, while heiresses are thick as pudding
 The census figures are not so large as expected, but the subject that provoked the most discussion was the excess of fe- males This is due in measure to many large families in Brookline and shows that race suicide, sometimes supposed to be more common there than in many other communities, does not obtain Brookline has the distinction of having the largest single family in New Eng land-that of MT. and Mrs. John Nolan, in which there are fifteen children. The head is the Brookline letter-carrier who was reinstated short time ago by the President because of Nolan's large fam fly, mostly girls.
 Rather a desirable place for a young eligible man with a view to matrimony,' said a prominent Brooklne man this morning. 'I can now see why Brookline develops so many romantic affairs of the heart, for with so few males ih propor- tion the girl in the case wants the fel- low quickly, and there is a sudden mar riage."

q am not surprised that railroad ot- ficials grow weary at the unnecessary questions put to them daily by women travellers" said a woman recently. Tt is surprising how many things some wom- en can think of to ask about and it IS more surprising that they persist in ask
 ing the same questions over and over again. Some women are more or less ner- vous, I~suppose and are exeusable, but have seen many who needed suppressing by the official.
 q was travelling some distance not long ago and sitting opposite me was a wom- an who never permitted the conductor to pass down the aisle without asking him some question, either relating to her ticket, the time of the day or the hour she would reach her destination She dis covered that she would have to change cars at a certain point, a fact that she had not been apprised of before, and this caused such agitation that even the pas sengers were brought into the discussion.
 Why had she not been informed or this before she left?
 What were officials for if they were not to answer question3?
 '' Why did the railroads select idiots for agents?' and similar questions until the entire car was in sympathy with the officials. The woman told a tale of woe to any one who would listen
 'I for one was not anxious to hear any of her troubles, for I have seen enough of. this type that continually in oliries aho11t a thousand and one things and constantly complains that the of ficials are inefficient. They spend their whole time on a trip in criticizing the of fcials of the roads or they complain at the slightest discomforts.
 When I do see calm woman, who asks the fewest number of questions, and who has made up her mind to put up with any of the inconvenience of travel think what a joy she must be to all the railroad officials" R

What the Shakers Believe.

From Lesies Weekly.
 It was just one hundred and thirty years ago this past August that Ann Lee of Manchester, England, fleeing from per secuton in that country because of her religious views, landed on the New Eng land coast Ann Lee was a leader of new school of religious thinkers and de- voices, whose origin is traceable to the example and influence of the exiled Cam tsards, known in England as the French Prophets, but later and more distinctive ly as the Shaking Quakers," so called from a certain feature of their religious ceremonies. The cardinal points in the belief and practice of this new religious body were simplicity of life, communism. and celibacy. "They (the Shakers) hold" says one of their leading authorities, that virgin life is fundamental to organized communism, as the private family relationship necessarily requires its own centers of affection and moneyed interests, while a united inheritance re- quires the renunciation of these. They freely admit that the private family is necessary and must always exist-the seed-garden of the human race: but they also recognize that higher nature which makes communistic association as great a necessty-the harvest field of the race" They expressly emphasize the fact that they do not condemn marriage as ungodly, but only hold that the celibate life Is the right life for those who would be the teachers and founders of a new and nobler order of humanity-the pion- eers in the human brotherhood that it Is to be. They forbid the use of swine's flesh and all intoxicants Industry. fru- gality. charity, and unostentation in dress and manners are enjoined upon all their followers. The government in Shaker communities Is dual, sisters" and brothers" acting in united capacities. their chief counselors or leaders being known as elders and addresses. who hold parental rule each over the members of their own sex.

JUSTICE IS TEMPERED
 WITH MERCY BY JUDGE

Papa! Papa!' cried boy of less than years of age at the warden's office of the city jail yesterday morning as the big door that leads to the prison swung open to receive Henry veitch, who had been arrested for disorderly conduct
 T want my papa. Please let me go with him. Don't take him away from me- walled the little curly haired fellow who was hardly old enough to know what it all meant. While he was still crying a woman with a child of tender years ia her arms, entered the door.
 .'They have taken him away from me, mama" sobbed the boy as he approached the woman and babe. She was a tall. handsome woman. and seemed to be fight Ing back her tears that were ready to burst in her eyes. She did not have to speak for the warden and bystanders to grasp the situation. Hearts were softened by the tender look in the womans face as she approached the desk and explain ed that her husband. children and her self had come from Bessemer to spend the day. She faltered here and the war den, seeing her distress, said
 '.That'll be all right, madam; just go up stairs and see the judge. He'll let him out"
 The next moment the trio entered Judge Feagins court room. Court was in ses- sion, but the magistrate suspended busi- ness to see what the woman, with two crying children, wanted. Her mission was quickly told and the case before the judge was suspended long enough for the clerk to call out, Henry Veitch." The next moment the man stepped from the docks and told of how he got into trouble. It all occurred shortly after he reached the city. He had taken a few drinks, he said, and was about to continue the story when the judge interrupted:
 Yes, I know" said the judge. q fine you $5," and as the woman opened her purse to pay the fine the man on the high bench winked an eye at the clerk and said give her back s4 and make the fine ST.
 Don't tell your husband that I re- duced it." he said addressing the woman.

Dynamite in Worlds Politics.

From Leslies Weekly.
 As in Bonaparte's days, wars generate wars, and the world is likely to see some of them before Russia and Japan disband their armies. even if they want to dis band them. The Balkans, which has been Fl powder magazine for over generation stands a chance to be the scene of ex- plosions before 1905 ends The fear of Russia's imagined invincibility being re- moved. both Turkey and it's enemies Macedonia, Bulgaria, Roumania Greece Servia, and Montenegro-may be in ir- ruption at any moment, on account of thelr feuds of generations and centuries. Christian and Turk in southeastern Eu- rope were equally afraid of the Cossack but that terror Is now abolished. Nor ways secession has aroused a separate feeling in Hungary Poland, Finland and Ireland Denmark and Holland have the spectre of German absorption before their eyes In a pa7ticufarly menaeing shape at this naonent Belgium distrusts France.
 Y Up in the north Atlantic, Sweden and Norway, weakened by the rupture of thelr relations, offer the ice-free ports which Russia seeks with an especial ardor now that she has lost her great open harbor on the Pacific, Port Arthur Englands ministry is already preparing for that Russian march southward on In- dia which would compensate Nicholas for the check which Japan gave to his east ern march on Manchuria and Corea- At the same time, England is removing her fleets from the American continent and placing them at strategic points in the British Channel and the Mediterranean, to head off Germany's ambition, which has occupied the thoughts of British mil itary and naval authorities recently. The Morocco controversy between France and Germany, in which England is on Frances side. has possibilities of trouble which may involve every nation in Flu rope.

A Fair Deal.
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly.
 A southern congressman tells a story of an old negro in Alabama who, in his bargaining. is always afraid that he may get "the worst of it." On one occasion, 1t appears, this aged darky went after calf that he had pastured all summer, and asked what he owed for the pastur- ing.
 T have bill of s10 against you" said the farmer who had undertaken the care of the animal "but if you are willing I'll take the calf and call it settled''
 No. sah!" promptly exclaimed the ne- gro, "Pll do nothing like dat. But" he added after a pause. "Ill tell you what l will do-you keep the calf two weeks longer and you can have it.'

From the Dundee Advertiser.
 In connection with old Admiral Jaure- guiberry, a writer remembers a curious incident. At the fight of St. Jean-sur- Frye. during the retreat on Laval. the admiral was galloping along the front, his tall, bony figure erect his long gray side whiskers streaming in the wind. when some fragments of an exploding shell absolutely decapitated his horse, which. nevertheless, galloped on quite forty yards before it fell. the admiral meanwhile retaining his seat unmoved. though he profited by the respite to free his feet from the stirrups in such a way that as the horse collapsed he easily alighted. His only comment. in response to the congratulatio he received on his escape, was very characteristic. Some people imagine said he. that sailors cannot ride"
