Chicago, Ill, Dec. 81" Aldermen who
were elected to carry out the win Of
the people regarding municipal owner
ship are now telling the people to 60 to
hi. Let them keep on their work until
they have been strung upuntil they get
their deserts
This exhoftation, one OF several favor
ing the use Of "the rope and 'star and
feathers in furnishing the aldermen who
favor the granting of a franchise to the
traction companies, was made by Anton
Johansen, president Of the Wood Work
ers' District Council at a meeting, held
yesterday Of the Chicago Federation Of
Labor.
Speakers piled the lash without mercy
on so-called corporation aldermen" who
are accused OF betraying the people in
the municipal ownership question, and
urged that public demonstration be
held by trades unionists against the
granting of any franchises.
Resolutions were adopted denouncing
members Of the city council and re-
questing that unionists appear Mt the
council chamber last night to make a
silent protest" against the further con-
sideration of an ordinance. Another re-
solution that was passed required that
the city council postpone action on any
street railway franchise question until
a sufficient number Of public meetings
had been held by the local transporta-
tion committee to give the people an OPP
Iportunity fully to express their views.

cLuB WOMEN scoRED.


Chicago, H., Dec. OLGA Louise
Cadiah, young Ohio woman, pictures
the club woman as a destroyer Of the
home in the genuine meaning OF the
word, woman who commits race suicide
and encourages other women TO do like
wise.
The average number of children to
married members of the General Ferera-
ton of Women's clubs, she declares, is
two, while the average number of child
same women was ~.
"rhe average age of the membership
|of the women's clubs in the country is
SO years The average age of the young
lest children of the married members is
III years. A careful investigation OF
the membership Of women's clubs shows
that only one married woman in 16 be-
comes mother after she has allied her
self with women's clubs; that only one
in 40 during period Of eight years has
become the mother of two children after
her alliance with women's clubs"
The college bred woman is put down
as selfish.
The author next presents the follow
ing statistics to show the bearing Of the
subject of race suicide ON the modern
church.
With 1926 Methodist mothers the
Averages number Of children was 10.
With s6,234 Episcopal mothers the
average number Of children was IN.
With 42,s25 Catholic mothers the
average number of children was 81.
With 27,163 Presbyterian mothers tho
average number OF children was az.
With 29,247 Congregational mothers
the average number Of children was 2
|9-14.
With 31,626 Baptist mothers the aver
|age number of children was 2 rs.
All the mothers referred to, the author
declares, have been married from 10 to
AS years.

but IL was SO brackish that those who
drank il fell i'll and could not eat their
food The party had then to march on,
and they were fortunate enough to reach
another well, where a small supply OF
drinking water was obtained.
AT midnight on the 14th they started
again, still steering northward, and at
daybreak they halted ON a high desert
plain. There was no sign Of water,
and, the position being critical, Mohi-
ud-din reluctantly recognized the fulfil
ity of further exploration. He agreed
To return, but by night, after great suf-
ferings from thirst, two of the guides
became insensible. a third guide, Sui
tan Mohamed, tied each of them upon
a riding camel and himself upon third
camel. The animals were then linked
together and left to 60 whittier their
instinct would lead them. Sultan Mo-
named fell unconscious during the night,
and remembered nothing till he came
to through water being poured down his
throat. He and his friends had been
rescued by q hunter who had wandered
into the desert in quest of wild asses.
The party were within an ace of death,
but were taken to Chakansur, an Afghan
village on the Kash river, and under
careful treatment recovered.
The rest Of the party under Mohi-td-
din met with melancholy fate. They
were too weak to march, and che first
10 die was a camel man, who wandered
into the desert and never returned. The
others remained all night with Mohi
din, and in the early morning, seeing
be was dying, they crawled to q ravine
close by and dug for water. No spring
was found, and their only relief was
to throw the damp earth over their bod
les. In the evening some Of these men
succeeded in struggling back to camp,
where they found Mohi-ud din dead
alongside Of his horse.
His faithful attendant, strong in bis
sense of duty, cut the map off the sur
yeyor's plane table and wrapped it round
| his body Ia his waistband. He after
ward explained that he was afraid to
carry it in his hand, for fear he might
become insensible and lose it. They then
wandered from the camp, and finally
all but Saidu lay down in The shade Of
| a high mound to die. Saidu struggled
on the whole day, but must have become
delirious, for be remembered nothing till
he regained consciousness for a time
by stumbling into pool Of water. On
coming to again he found himself being
carried on d mans back to Chakansur
He had been discovered by some villag
ers, and, as in the case Of the three
guides, bis life was saved with difii

The Afghan authorities sent oul
search parties with water, and even

st. Petersburg, Dec. . Delayed For
the past two days the government post
and telegraph office has been occupied
by troops and the strikers have been
parading the streets, stopping such few
of their comrades as were disposed to
work. Only two or three men succeeded
yesterday in entering the Office, where a
single instrument, connected with War
saw, was working irregularly. Almost
nothing but government dispatches was
handled.
The streets of the capital are becom-
ing increasingly dangerous. II is I'M

thoroughfares.
The expectation Of general railway
strike is crowding the trains to the
frontiers. Soldiers with fixed bayonets
guard the engines and their drivers.

pERILs OF EXPLORERS.
Fate Of Party That Undertook Il
Survey Desert.

The Seistan boundary commission,
which has now returned to India, was
one Of those hazardous enterprises that
the survey officers of the government
of India are every now and then called
upon to undertake in remote, unfre-
quented and inhospitahle regions, to
penetrate into which, even with such
supplies and escort as are feasible, Is
practically to carry ones life in ones
hand.
For many months the heat in Seistan
is overpowering, while wind known
as the ago days wind blows from the
northwest with the force Of hurricane,
its pace varying up to seventy miles
an hour In the winter there are vio-
lent snowstorms and billiards, while the
thermometer falls almost to zero. In
great blizzard which ragged for five
days in March, 1908, during the progress
of the mission the wind actually rose
Co 100 miles an hour.
One conspicuous piece OF devotion on
the part Of native surveyor named
Mohi-ud din deserves mention. He was
man Of some distinction who had won
the title Of Kahn Bahadur BY previous
notable surveys on Che frontier. While
in Seistan he was particularly DESTROYS
Of expxloriug the Dashti-Margu, very

and Kash rivers, and in June, 1903, in
spite Of the extreme heat, he struck
out from point west Of Rudbar on
the Helmund on course nearly due
north, his party consisting of four sur
vey assistants, four Afghan guides and
two camel men.
They marched ell night, called halt
in the early morning, and continued the
march during the day. At nightfall the
water which was carried by the cameIs
had given out, and the guides urged
that either the return journey should
be begun at once or route taken due
west, 90 as to strike the northern bend
of the Helmund. Mohi-ud din, however,
was determined to push on, and guide
was sent of on camel to find water

my baby was four months old her

her to doctor, who said it was

worse case. Her face was being eaten
