men say unjustly-for the murder Of Gov
ernor Steunenberg, asked Gompers point
blank how he stood in the affair. Gompers
said:
Il have no hesitancy in saying that these
three men have been outrageously treated
thus far in having been unlaWfully kid
mapped from the state in which the crime
was committed and taken to another state
for trial. 1t Is my honest conviction that
there is conspiracy of the mine owners to
murder these men, The whole proceeding
stlnks in the nostrils Of decent and right
thinking men,"
he said was designed to make agreements
between workingmen and their EMPLOYERS
unlawful and which had taken the form of
an ANTITRUST measure, Gompers said it
was introduced for those who wanted to
have men and women at their mercies by
curbng the power Of labor organizations
If such a measure became a law the
speaker said the unions, although prevent
ed from making agreements with EMPLOYERS
would not be forced out of existence Labor
organizations hereafter would take action
of their own accord and tell the employers
to accept their propositions or not as thew
pleased, and the result would be hell on
earth for both sides.
1t was announced that the Franklin Assoc
citation of Freshmen would go on strike
Monday morning against the EMPLOYERS re-
fusing to grant their demands. They ask
an increase from $14 to SIG for cylinder
press feeders ($17 and $1S for night work.,
ana the recognition OF the prevailing scale
of from SIT to $25 for job press feeders.
Albert Abrahams, delegate of the associa-
ton. said that nine-tenths of the employers
had signed the scale and that about 500 men
would strike. The employers holding out,
he said, were members of the United Ty-
pothetae, the members of the Employing
Printers League having practically all
agreed to union terms.
A plan to establish trade relations be-
tween the Farmers Union and the organl-
cations affiliated with the c. F. u. was sug-
gested in communication from Vice Presi-
dent j. B. Whiting of the American Society
of Equity The idea Is to establish dis
tributing stations in New York for receiv-
ing products from the farmer, to be sold
direct to the union man as consumer. Whit
ing said that by such a plan the farmer
would avoid paying tribute to the trusts
that control the necessaries of life" and
ties cheaper The communication was re-
ferred to the executive committee
The joint committee of the c. F. T. and
the consolidated board of business agents
working for union conditions on future
subway jobs, reported that Controller Metz
had asked for a schedule of the prevailing
rate of wages of all unions that would be
employed in the work, to be submitted to
him next Thursday. All unions interested
were asked to get their schedules ready
before that time.
In discussing the social benefits of trades
unions William Upton Talbot, editor of
pie who look upon labor unions, because
they are frequently composed of men who
must roll up their sleeves when they go to
work, as vulgar affairs. where crude meth

When the Rsuor.sr Scored.


Charles NJ. Jacobs. the chief engi-
neer of the Pennsylvania railroad tun-
mel under the North river, recently
conducted a party Of railroad officials
and reporters through the tunnel on
foot.
At one stage Of the programme
there was some slight delay. and Mr.
Jacobs said. with a laugh, to repor-
ter:
I'VE are not very punctual, EN-?
We are like a little country railroad
that l used to ride on. To the pres
ident Of this road a reporter went
hurriedly one evening.
"T understand he said. that there
has been an accident on your line
tonight
"'oh. you do. do YOU? said the
president with sneer.
"'Yes, sir And the reporter wait
ed, pencil and paper in hand.
What, do you know about this ac-
cident?' the president, still sneering'
asked.
"'Nothing. except that 1t happened
To the s.l5 train the reporter meekly
answered:
"twen,' said the president. that
train came in, on. time to the minute
"t'Are you sure Of that" said the
reporter.

Boroughbridge. His work eventually
extended to road making and bridge

Cheshire.
After forty years of married life his
wife died, and for while he had a
bad time financially, speculating un-
successfully in cotton: but when he

KEEPING ORDER IN CHURcH.-Dr
Emil G.. Hirseh the Jewish rabbi has
a reputation for severity and sarcasm
which the following story illustrates;
Two reporters entered Sinai Temple
in Chicago several minutes late one
night where DIR. Hirsch was lecturing
The second of the two newspaper men
carelessly slammed the door behind
him. DR.. Hirsch stopped talking IN
stantly and fixed whitening gaze on
the representatives Of the press. The
man who had slammed the door sank
into the first vacant seat; but the
other reporter was slightly deaf, and
knew that II he sat in the back part
Of the temple he could not hear the
lecture.
So he started down the long center
aisle: but the pews were we'll filled
that night. and the only vacant seat
he could see was in the front pew,
directly in front Of the pulpit. For
this he started. and under DR.. Hirsch's
fierce stare went faster and faster un-
I'll he finally slid into the seat.
Then DR.. Hirsch raised his eyes TO
the congregation and said in a loud
voice: "wih the ushsrs please lock
the doors?"

SPOKE Too LATE.-"There used to
be a Princeton .janitor named Jerome
McWade, who was'as witty and anus

a prominent judge. Whenever you
would strike Mcwade, he would halt
you and for three or four minutes you
would have to listen to some odd yarn
or other that ne would relate as though
II had been a personal experience.

ern last night he said to me one
morning. This Irishman sat by the
fire reading a newspaper and sucking
raw eggs that he took, one by one,
out Of a paper bag. He paid no at

sucked as though he was alone in his
room at home.
IAN Of a sudden 1t happened that

he knew what he was doing he bolted

Of a scientist from Chicago to lecture

tirely ignorant Of the subject OF the
lecturers discourse. had been attract
ed to the hall by the announcement
that magic lantern views would be ex-
hibited.
The two took seats in the rear OF
the hall. In the course Of the lecture
they evinced no signs OF approval or
objection: but when the discourse was
concluded the gardener was heard to
ask his wife: Maggie, did you pay
attention to what that Chicago man
had to say?'
Yes, jes' as we'll as could was
the reply.

DO WOLVES EAT MEN?
Most of the Yarns to That Effect De-
cIared TO Be Fakes.

clared to Be Fakes.
sceptical person, calling himself
ST. Croix, has been trying to find out
whether wolves and bears are ma
ligned by the popular stories Of their
man eating ways.
First he tried running down the sto-
ries told in newspaper dispatches.
Fooled in this effort. he turned to the
Indians. They knew the gray wolf,
having wintered and summered with
him. Had they ever known Of an In
dian being killed by one? N-no; but
Mingan was very crafty and very
much to be dreaded.
Quite so, but once for all, had he
ever to their knowledge killed man?
No, but they had heard. So 1t went;
always the same intangible, uncon-
firmed rumor and the same absence Of
proof.
Now for few facts as to the wolf"
writes st. Croix in Recreation. He
can go eight days without food and
can then eat forty pounds Of meat at
a sitting. so the Indians say. This Is
pretty fair for an animal weighing but
eighty pounds. Yet we do not know
the length Of the sitting.
"rhe wolf Will not venture on glare
ice. he never crosses lake until there
is enough snow to hide the ice. To
wetting his feet he is as averse as the
domestic cat. He will not kill his
game in the shelter of the forest al
ways driving It into some open place
for the kill
when chasing a deer he goes at a
leisurely lope. sitting down at inter-
walls to give the most dolorous and
blood curdling howls. This drives the
poor victim into wild gallop and soon
exhausts 1t and as the wolf never tires
he is sure sooner or later to catch up
with the quarry. .'.
In winter the deer often makes for
some wild rapid into which 1t plunges,
knowing that the wolf Will not follow.
Too often the deer browns, but better
such death than one by the fangs.
In summer a couple Of wolves will
secure all the deer they need by. very
simple tactics. Having put up the
quarry. one wolf drives It by easy
stages to some little lake-I speak now
of the Laurentian country-and on
reaching the shore the deer plunges un-
hesitatingly in. for its instinct tells 1t
the enemy will not dare to follow.
$50 on 1t swims, while the pursuer
sits on his launches and howls dis
mally, no doubt because he sees his
dinner escaping. At length the tired
deer drags itself wearily from the wa
ter, and shakes the drops from Its coat
on the sun warmed strand. Then the
companion wolf, which has waylaid its
coming, springs at its throat and when
the first wolf joins him they have a
gorge that makes them independent OF
fate for whole week"

STONES IN QUEER PLAcEs.-A round
stone is found in the joints of certain
kinds of bamboo. This Is called ia
basheer' and is supposed to be depos-
tied from the siliceous juices Of the
cane. Another curiosity Of this sort
Is the "cocoanut stone" found in the
endosperm of the cocoanut in Java and
other East Indian islands. It Is a
pure carbonate of lime, and the form
of the stone Is sometimes round, some
times pear shaped, while the appear
ance is that of a white pearl without
much luster. Some Of these stones are
as large as cherries and as hard as
feldspar or OPAL They are very rare
ly found and are regarded as precious
stones by the orientals and as charms
against disease or evil spirits by the
natives. Stones Of this kind are also
found in the pomegranate and in 9TH
er East Indian fruits. Apatite has
also been discovered in teak wood.
