DEDICATE BABE TO LABOR.
Chicago Parents Think This Best Way
to Make Him Unsefish.

Chicago.-Lee Gessner Crcel, the 49,
months-old son Of H. II. Creel, has
been dedicated to the cause Of labor
with solemn ceremony.
The dedication took place at St.
James Methodist church with the
Allied Printing Trades Council as
sort of collective godfather. Trades
unionists filled the pews and the Rev.
ID. {. Millner Ofliciated as the repre-
sentative of the church and labor,
while E. R. Wright, president of Typo.
graphical Union No. 1G, assisted and
the Rev. William A. Quayle pastor Of
the church made the address of vel
come. L. P. Strauble, secretary of the
Allied Printing Trades Council, &C
copied the child on behalf of labor as
future champion of the cause.
Creel and his wife both expressed
their desire that the boy shall become
an unselfish man, giving his life to
others. They declared that in their
opinion organized labor was the cause
which realized the best ideals of help
to humanity.
The dedicating of the child, they
said, was merely the expression of a
desire which all true mothers and
fathers must feel in regard to their
children. The idea came to Creel be-
cause of his many years connection
with labor organizations and publ.
cations
May Mcdowell, Eva Marshall

PECULIAR CASE is DECIDED.
Riqamist's First Wife Gets Half OF
Estate and Second Nothing.

Wichita, Kan.-Federal Judge Pol
lock has rendered decision in an
unusual case that came up from
Comanche county. 1t was the result
of a bigamous marriage by James Nc
Laughlin.
Mclaughlin was an old soldier who
deserted his wife in Pennsylvania,
and, coming to Kansas with a young
woman named Annie Scott, married
her and lived with her 50 years, raising
eight children. Upon his death the
second wife, who says she knew moth
ing of his previous marriage, applied
for pension, and this led to the dis
covery Of wife No. l.
The court decided that the Penn
sylyania wife was entitled to half the
estate and that McLaughlin's children
by his second wife were entitled to
the other half, while the second wife
was entitled to nothing, though 1t was
largely through her efforts that the
property was accumulated.

Anecdote of Robert r. Hit.

The late Robert R. Hit had knowl-
edge of stenography which was Of
great value to him in debate He has
been known to rise with his hand full
of shorthand notes of speech just
delivered to which he was about to
reply and woe to the man who &C.
cused Mr.. Hit of misquoting him. He
was the patron saint of the stenog-
raphers of the house. Not long ago
political influence was about to dis
place from the line of promotion a
young expert writer of shorthand from
Michigan whose work Mr.. Hit had
occasion to admire. Mr.. Hit went to
Speaker Cannon. This will never do,
Joe,' said the shorthand authority of
the house. I'VE can't do without this
man. The house must have him." "All
right, HIT" replied Speaker Cannon.
IF anybody knows the sort Of stenog-
raphers this house ought to have you
are the man" That settled 1t and the
Michigan stenographer held his place.

PENNIES FOR A COLLEGE,
One Hundred Thousand Workers Each
Give Penny to Ruskin College.

The British trade unions had not In
their origin any direct concern with
education. says the Fortnightly Re.
view. But it is fact of no ordinary
significance that some of the leading
unions should be taking very great
interest in the higher education of the
workman.
For the last three years some l00,-
600 workingmen, members of the
Amalgamated Society of Engineers,
have made three levies of one penny
each to help on the work of Ruskn
college at Oxford. This levy pro.
duces over 5000 year, and by means
of it six engineers are maintained for
a years course of study at the col,
lege.
Smaller but substantial sums have
been contributed to the same institu.
ton by the London Society of Com
positors, by the Lanarkshire Miners
County Union, by the Amalgamated
Association of Beamers, Twisters and
Drawers, by the Derbyshire miners
and the Durham miners, while large
number of other societies appear
among the donors and subscribers.

EARLY DINNER is oEcREED.
King Edward Causes Change In Lon
don Society.

London.--A momentous change has
been decreed in the habits of Lon
don society, initiated by the king.
His majesty disapproved of the
tendency to make the dinner hour
later and later, and has decreed that
hereafter the fashionable dinner hour
shall be from half past six to half
past seven.
Before this change was instituted
society dined from eight to nine. The
new dinner hour, which is a return
to earlier manners, is welcomed by
everybody. 1t will benefit the thea
tiers, which have lost many patrons
through the late dinner hour, and 1t
will also send more persons to the
restaurants for supper.
Persons who dined at eight o'clock
were not always inclined for supper
afterward, and could not reach the
theater before the middle of the per-
Torrance.

Condemn DAYTIME Maps.

Prolonged 40 winks" during the

COFFEE TRUST IN BRAZIL,
Price of South American Product to
Be Increased.

New York-The financing of Bra.
zirs coffee valorization plan has been
arranged. Bankers and merchants,
internationally known and all identi
fed with the coffe trade, will advance
the money needed-about $20,000,000
The bankers and merchants are 10
Gated in New York, London, Havre
and Hamburg.
The object of the coffee valorization
plan is to maintain coffee at a re-
munerative price to the grower by
establishing a minimum quotation at
which it is to be upheld by purchases
of coffee on account of the three
states of Brazil-Sao Paulo, Rio and
Minas. Interest on the loans made
is guaranteed and paid by tax on
every bag OF coffee shipped.
The three contracting states bind
themselves to maintain in the native
markets minimum price of 80 to IS
milreis per bag of 60 kilos for the first
year This price is to be gradually
raised after the first year to a maxi
mum of 40 milreis.
The contracting states bind them
selves to restrict or discourage by dis.
eliminating taxation the expectation
of coffee of inferior grades and they
further bind themselves to pass laws
preventing the extension of coffee acre
age for two years after Jan. l, 1907.
