"White pisease'' in Africa,

Sir Harry Johnston, the famous ex.
p!orer, once escaped from a very tight
corner in Africa by a queer STRATA
gem. A score or two of murderou3
natives had surrounded his tent, into
which. before rushing it, they sent an
envoy. The envoy was told the small
pox was in camp, and a wretched AL
bino was sent out as the awful exan.-
pie. In five minutes the scared tribes
men had vanished. AS Sir Harry well
knew, they feared the white disease"
more than all tho inventions Of Maxim.

THE CHINESE QUESTION.

Now that Congress is in session
the agents of the Chinese govern
ment and certain capitalistic in
tcrests are renewing their efforts tc
secure Il modification of the cx-
clusion laws. All sorts of spacious
arguments are being made, and
when those fail to convince the
threat to push the boycott Oh
American goods is used. 1t Is
claimed that millions of losses in
trade will be felt by American
manufacturers unless broader
construction is placed on the
Chinese exclusion laws. There is
no gainsaying the fact that pow
eriul Western and Southern CAPT
talistic interests are in sympathy
with the agitation and support the
movement to scuttlc the law. I'll,

DUTY OF UNION MEN.

A lesson that every union mar
n West Virginia should take to
heart is the fact that the success OF
the labor movement in the STATE
depends on the individual effort OF
its members. 1t is just in proper
ion as the average member takes
IN interest in his organization that
it will progress or retrograde. The
man who seldom attends a meet.
ing of the union, who is always
oackward.in his dues, and only
Knows by hearsay as to what is
1ranspiring, is really of more use
outside the organization than in.
1t is the man who recognize that
he owes a duty to his union, who
encourage the officers by his pre-
,ence and who takes an interest in
the proceedings that aids in the
work and makes progress not only
possible, but assured. Every man
has his own part to perform and
MS own duty to carry out. No
other member can do it for him.
If he absents himself from the
meeting there is a vacant seat and
one less in attendance. Every
member should be factor and
count; there is no life in an organi-
cation whose members are dead or
sleeping. If it is worth while to
belong to trades union, it should
DC worth while to do ones share in
making tia success. Every union
is just exactly what it's members
make it; it will be dead or alive,
progressive or impotent, Just in
proportion rs its members recognize
their responsibilities and honestly
live up to them.

"uncIe Josh SpruceDy,,

The realistic saw mil scene III
"Uncle Josh Spruceby' the down East
play, comes nearer to the genuine
article than any of the stage effects
now before the public. In fact, so real
is the 80 inch buzz saw, that one OF the
actors of the play had his right hand
cut off at the wrist during perform
ance last season in Illinois: No play
nowadays is complete without some
thing in the way of mechanical effects
"Uncle Josh Spruceby" lays claim to
one of the most novel scenes of any
piece on the road this season. A full
and entirely practical saw mill is
placed upon the stage and appropriate
scenery is used to make superior
stage picture. When the heroine is
rescued from her perilous position at
the climax of the act the hearty APP
plause gives evidence of the appreci-
alton of this acme stage realism
