The Endless Procession.

A myriad of men are born. They la
Dor and sweat and struggle for bread;
they squabble and scold and fight; they
scramble for little mean advantages
over each other; age creeps upon them:
infrmities follow; shames and humilia-
tons bring down their prides and their
vanities; those they love are taken
from them, and the joy of life is turn
ed to aching grief. The burden Of pain,
care, misery, grows heavier year by
year; at length ambition is dead, pride
Is dead; vanity is dead; longing for re-
lease Is in their place. 1t comes at
last-the only Imprisoned gift earth
ever had for them-and they vanish
from q world where they were Of no
consequence; where they achieved moth
ing; where they were mistake and a
failure and foolishness. There they
have left no sign that they have ex-
isted-a world which will lament them
day and forget them forever. Then
another myriad takes their place, and
copies all they did, and goes along the
same proftless road, and vanishes as
they vanished-to make room for an
other, and another, and million other
myriads, to follow the same arid path
through the same desert and accom-
plish what the first myriad and all the
myriads that came after it accomplished
-nothing.-From Mark Twain's Auto
biography in North American Review.

MetcaIf's Report on San Francisco
Incident.
San Francisco, Dec. 4.-The Call
says:
School Director D. H. Oliver states
that Secretary Metcalf, before his de-
parture for Washington, told school
directors that he believed they were
clearly within their rights in estab.
fishing a separate school for Japanese
pupils. This would tend to correct
the impression that Secretary Metcalf
had decided to favor the Japanese In
his report to the president. The Sec
retary's report, it may be assumed,
will conform to his assurances to the
school board.
Attorneys versed in international
law believe that the treaty between
Japan and America in no way covers
the crisis at issue and the best that
the United States can do for the island
empire is to institute a test case in
the federal courts, which has already
been done. That the matter will be
taken to the supreme court for final
decision is now quite evident and If it
is decided there that the Japanese are
not Mongolians, a contention raised to
divert the enforcement of the law re-
curing that race to be taught in sep
arate schools, it is now quite certain
new law will be passed by the leg.

days. q
Mayor Dunno delivered an address
Of welcome to the delegates and an
address was delivered by William
Collision, general secretary of the Ma

Britain. The greater part of the day
was consumed in listening to the re-
ports of officers. "a ..--.s.
President Post, in his report, char.
acterized the American Federation of
Labor as ''the greatest trust in the
world" He declared the industrial
association was formed to defend
communities and citizens from "the
destructive acts of both capital and
labor" He said: "In the late cleo
ton, where the labor trust was avow-
eddy arrayed against the common peo-
pie In an effort to retire congress
men who voted contrary to the die
tates of the trust, the discovery was
made that the great mass of citizens
are not members of the labor trust,
or of any other trust"

TUBES BECAME MIXED.
Filipino Prisoners laoculated With
Plague Germs.

Plague Germs.
Manila, Dec. Am investigation
made at Bilibid, where ten prisoners
who had been inoculated with cholera
serum recently died, has disclosed
traces of plague germs In the dead
bodies. No formal report on the result
of the investigation has been made
and the government has reached no
decision in the matter. It is asserted
that tubes containing plague germs
and others filled with cholera serum,
which are SO much alike that it Is al
most impossible to distinguish them
apart, were mixed in the laboratory
by a visitor who examined the plague
germs and by mistake placed them in
a rack with the serum tubes. This is
said to have occurred during the tenn
porary absence of DR.. R. P. Strong of
the bureau of science, who has been
conducting experiments and inocula-
ton of persons with cholera serum to
test it's efficacy. ~
The natives generally are in ignor-
ance of the situation, but the native
newspapers are indignant and bitter.
It is not believed that criminal charges
will be preferred, but it is possible
that DIR. Strong may resign.

tions in South.
New York, Dec. 4.-That there are
thousands of child slaves, mostly little
girls, working In the textile mills OF
the South and that Northern capital
Is to blame for this condition, was
the declaration OF Mrs. Frederick Ma
than OF the Consumers league, who
addressed an audience of about $500
persons at the first winter session of
the peoples forum" in the New
Rochelle theater.
THE capital Of the country is liter
ally devouring little children" said
Mrs. Nathan. When one of the negro
slaves OF the South died he had to be
replaced, but these child slaves work
where, the dust chokes them and gives
them tuberculosis and nobody cares.
Many of them die, but there are al
ways others.

WILL FOUND ANOTHER ZION
OVERSEER VOLIVA DECIDES TO
ABANDON PRESENT CITY TO
ITS CREDITORS.

Chicago, Dec. 4-The Chronicle
Jays:
Zion City is to be abandoned. The
restoration host" which was built up
by John Alexander Dowie after years
Of strenuous effort, will shortly be left
to it's creditors by Wilbur Glenn Vo-
Iva, who. like a new Moses, will lead
his people forth from the discredited
gates to found another Zion.
Announcement Of the approaching
hegira was made by Overseer Voliva
before an audience of more than 1000
persons in the Zion church at Six
teenth street and Michigan avenue
1t was marked by his assumption of
divine authority" At the same time
he outlined his plans for new city,
to be conducted along socia]istic
lines, with himself as supreme spirit
ual and temporal head. Coupled with
the announcement Of his plans were
vehement denunciatiOns of unworthy
members of the church, whom, he de-
clared, were responsible for it's fall.
Autocratic socialism is to- be the
government of the new community.
No more debts, no more house rent,
no more holding of land or property
by individuals, but sublime condition
Of brotherly love and primitive Chris
tianity is to prevail. At the same
time Voliva is to be supreme.
AS to the location of the new Zion
Voliva was silent, contenting himself
with the declaration that he would
have several announcements to make
within two weeks. In preparation,
however, of the crusade which he pro-
poses to start in Chicago he stated
that to a certain extent headquarters
would be located in the great DEVILS
kingdom" as he termed this city.

TRIAL PROGRESSES SLOWLY
DEFENSE REPEATEDLY OBJECTS
TO TESTIMONY IN SHEA
CASE At CHICAGO.

Chicago, Dec. 4.-Albert Young, the
former president of the Transfers
union and the present head of the
United Transfers of America, was
again called to the stand when the
trial of Cornelius P. Shea, president Of
the International Brotherhood of
Transfers, was resumed.
The attorneys for the defense en-
tered vehement protests to nearly
every answer given by Young to the
ney Miller and the trial progressed
slowly. The state at the opening of
the session sought to prove in a gen.
eral way through Young conversations
said to have taken place between Shea
and pickets placed by the Transfers
union. The attorneys for the defense
insisted that the witness should con-
fine himself to specific instances and
the state declared that a general ex-
animation was legal and proper. Judge
Ball ruled that the witness must des-
ignate the time and place of all con-
versations and If possible make clear
the identity of all persons taking part
In the conversations.
Young was asked If he had done
picket duty himself and replied:

Wailuku, Maui, March 3.-Joe Agara,
the young Porto Rican. 20 years old,
who narrowly escaped death by being
caught in a guaya bush on the new
lao road over a month ago met with
q very serious accident last Tuesday
morning while working on the new
lao road. Joe was drilling holes into
a huge bowlder which INSTRUCTED the
path. He had placed three sticks OF
giant powder In II, and was about to
light the fuse when the tin OF powder
near him caught fire and exploded.
Joes clothes caught fire and he ran
wildly towards his companions for aid.
Natives near by tore his clothes OF and
thus extinguished the fire. but not be-
fore he was badly injured from head to
foot.
The sticks OF giant powder exploded
while a native was passing the big
bowlder, but he received no injuries.
Joe was Immediately removed to Ma
lulani hospital, Wailuku, where his
wounds were dressed by DR., X. II. Din
egar, the hospital physician. His feet
hands and face are so badly burned
that his recovery is very doubtful. The
lad Is one of the best workmen on the
road and the contractors regret very
much this most painful accident which
has befallen him. He is quick and ac'
tive and quite above the character
