RICE'S LAST MOVE
HE IS GOING INTO COURT AGAIN
 TOMORROW.
Will Ask Judge Shumway to Rescind His Order in Regard to Appoint
 ment of Appraisers.

Archibald E. Rice and his friends, in the Apothecaries Hall company, through their counsel, Root and Bron- son. will ask Judge ShumWay at short calendar tomorrow at noon in the sr perior court to undo what he did last Thursday noon. That is, they will ask pointing Otis s. NoIthrop and Senator Henry H. Peck to appraise the 409 shares of stock in the Apothecarfes Hall company, and which MT Rice claims he holds in trust for Mrs Sarah H. Rice; also the twenty-three shares owned by John Blair and the one share owned by s. F. Williams.
 What their idea in asking for this order and the revocation of the old one is hard to say, but lawyers who have been following this, now some what famous litigation, state that Mr Rice and his friends and their counsel held a meeting Saturday evening and concluded that they did not want tie stock appraised, at present at least. If this is so. it realizes a statement made some time ago by lawyer that certain members of the company would not desire to have the value of that stock made public. Why, is a mystery, for it said that it is quite valuable
 Besides asking for the revocation of the order appointing the appraisers, Attorneys Root and Bronson will also ask for an injunction to prevent l. r. Kellogg from interfering with the meeting which Mir Rice called for March 8, and which Colonel Burpee, counsel for Mir Kellogg, frustrated by an injunction. That meeting, it will be recalled, was adjourned by agree ment, from time to time. It's object was to oust Mir Kellogg and Levi Will COX from the posts of treasurer and secretary, respectively. Now they will endeavor to hold that meeting. It was reported this afternoon that Attorneys Root and Bronson will be reinforced tomorrow with Attorney O'Neill.

ANOTHER LABOR
 WAR ON THE WAY
FEDERATION OF LABOR AFTER
 THE UNDERTAKERS.
Red Hot Meeting Yesterday at Which It Was Decided That Union Men Shall Not Purchase Non
 Union Baskets.

] Chicago, March 19.-The Chicago
 federation of labor has declared war
 on the Chicago Undertakers' associ-
 atiOn, branding the body trust of | the worst order" The open declara-
 tion of hostilities was made at yes- terday's meeting of the central labor 1 body.
 After a lengthy discussion of the
 subject these conclusions were arriv-
 ed at by the delegates to the meet ing:
 No union man shall purchase a
 non-union casket, or assist in paying
 for a non-union casket, for a mem
 Der of his family or friend. l No union man shall act as pall- | bearer at funeral where a non- | union casket is used. When the services of an under taker are needed by a friend of a
 union man it is his duty as trades
 unionist to tell the members of the
 bereaved family how to secure un- l ion casket.
 An investigation of the methods of
 acting and prices charged by the
 members of the Chicago Undertakers' association shall be made at once and ways and means of "suppressing 1 the trust found"
 The subject came up at the meet ing when a communication from the Wo0dWorkers' union was read which | contained complaint because of the supposed discrimination of the un- dertakers against union made cas-
 kets. A price list was attached show ing that union caskets ranged in price from s5 to $40. Undertakers,
 according to the same information,
 charge anywhere from $50 to $350 for the same casket.
 No reason why the undertakers discriminated against the union men
 was set forth, but it was hinted that
 it was because the workers had sug- gested union of professional pall- bearers. about two years ago.

Longevity of Birds.

The longevity of parrots. ravens and certain other birds has been remarked for many centuries. but naturalists are still uncertain as to the limits. under the most favorable circumstances. One vulture. in the geological gardens in Vienna. lived HIS years in captivity. and the inference is plain that birds of its kind might live much longer. in ex- ceptional cases.

 Spring Exhibition
 OF THE Glenwood Line Modern Ranges.

Glenwoods always did have the highest reputation for being the best. bakers. The scores of customers who have lately bought the new styles of Glenwoods are praising them daily for the superb baking that they are doing.
 One Housekeeper Says:
 My cook is simply delighted with the Cabinet Glenwood you sold me last fall. She can do the most per feet baking with it and finds 1t so easy to work with that baking days are a pleasure to her. Our kitchen never did look so neat and inviting as it has since the Cabinet Glenwood arrived. We cannot say enough about it in praising it." The Cabinet Glenwood is the plainest looking range on the market. There is no fancy scroll or nickel ornaments on 1t. On account of it's lack of fancy work it has to be made of the most perfect castings that human skill can make. This produces beautiful effect that will immediately appeal to lovers of ele- gant simplicity. The Cabinet Glen wood has no open space beneath it. but fits snugly to the floor on all sides. Come in and let us show you the new Glenwoods.
 "I Bought Glenwood 20 Years Ago"
 Its just as good to-day as ever. It has. always been a perfect baker and caused us no trouble in taking care of It. We always take pleasure in speaking a good word for the Glenwood."
 This is one of the written testi- moniaIs which we have. and we fre- quently receive them similarly word ed.

Strenuous efforts are being made to crush the ''insurrection" in the house and force the joint statehood bill to vote. An arrangement has been made to vote on the Philippine tariff bill on Monday and after that will come the real test of strength to see whether enough of the majority can be dragooned into voting for a rule on the Hamilton bill. The insur' gents claim that they have enough votes pledged already to defeat the rule. But there is an outlook for peace in suggestion that has been made to split the rule and vote twice on the Hamilton proposition. It will be remembered that the Hamilton bill provides in one breath joint statehood for Oklahoma and Indian Territory and for Arizona and New Mexico. Now it is possible that the first of these two combinations could be put through without such desperate fight. But nearly all the people of Arizona are lined up against joint statehood with New. Mexico and they are in position to force their views strongly. Therefore it is possible that the Arizona-New Mexico combination may be allowed to go by default and the other measure put through. This would be a nominal victory for the majority. It would "save their face" and make way to apparent harmony But the wound that the conflict has made already is too deep to be easily healed.

The department of agriculture had an interesting visitor this week in the person of Sir Horace Plunkett, the secretary of agriculture for Ireland and a member of Parliament. It is not generally known. but the English M. r. used to he western cow puncher and he still has considerable ranch in terests in Nebraska, Montana and Wyoming He comes over about once a year to look after his American busi- ness and when he does usually stops over in Washington to see what is doing in department of which he Is the chief at home. He said oh this visit that he was particularly interest ed in the dietary experiments the de- partment was carrying on, as he con sidered the proper feeding Of the Irish peasant a good deal more important than the proper feeding of his cattle. He also looked into the questions of piaHl UTteull- anu Nttu H'it'lioh ivL use in Ireland. saying that the Ameri- can government had made such strides in these lines and in the question oi farm management that he was much in hopes of making the small Irish farms more productive and enabling the small farmers who were struggling bravely under the land purchase act to become landlords on their own ac. count in much less time than anyone now expected. Of course If Sir HOr- ace is able to take home with him any suggestions that will materially help this cause. America will have done much toward helping Ireland.
