Employees of Railways Show No Loyal
~, He Says, to Their Employ
erS' Interest.


Chicago, Jan. 5.-"One of the most
serious conditions which this country
is facing is the indifference to and the
disregard which the employee has for
the interests Of the employer" This
statement was made by E. P. Ripley,
president OF the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railroad, during a recital of
the -easons which had led his COM
pany to establish a pension system af
fecting nearly 10000 employees, which
he hopes will bring about a satisfac-
tory esprit du corps.
When asked what cause he assigned
for this condition, Ripley said: Too
much prosperity-or, at least, too much
business. The demand for labor and
for all classes Of the employed was
never so great, and never before did
the supply fall so short of the demand
The demand has become so sharp I'm

a man who is all but forgotten. On
April q, 1903, Toussaint died after

Besancon. AS the liberator of Hayti,

into a savage despotism, Toussaint
won fame. He was born a slave in

French convention made him COM

the re-establishment of slavery in that
country. Toussaint refused to obey
the order and was overwhelmed by
large force, sent to France and con-

OLDEST ARCHBISHOP.
Dean Of Hierarchy Of America Cele.
brates Eighty.Fifth Birthday.

Df8teS Elgnty.tlltA Birthday.
Boston, Mass, April 27.-Archbishop
Williams, who has the distinction of
being dean of the hierarchy of the Ro-
man Catholic church in the United
States, both in years of life and years
of service, celebrated his eighty-fifth
birthday today. The venerable arch
bishop has spent more than sixty years
Of his life in the church. He was
bishop for ten years prior to his being
made an archbishop thirty-two years
ago.
The Most Rev. John j. Williams is a
native Of Boston and all his life he has
labored for the advancement of the
Catholic church in New England. He
was ordained to the priesthood in Par
is, France, in 1S45. On his rat,Tn
home he was assigned to the old cathe-
dral in this city as assistant, and after
ward as rector. In 1859 he became
vicar-general of the diocese, and on
January 9, 1866, was appointed cOad-
jutor, with the right of succession to
Bishop Fitzpatrick, whom he succeed
ed few months later. In 1875 Boston
was raised to an archbishopric, and on
May the palMum was conferred upon
Archbishop Williams.
In all the long course of years that
he has lived as priest, bishop and arch
bishop in Boston, the same zeal and
devotion to duty have characterized
Archbishop Williams, and it has been
said for many years that his is one of
the best governed dioceses in the coun-
try, and that with the church authori-
ties in Rome no bishop in the United
States has so high standing.
