neer Fer Peace-BarOn GEstourneIes,
International Senator

started this great peace movement
twenty years ago. He was a labor
leader and had emerged but recently
from fierce Industrial struggle. Then
he was elected to parliament He
found that much Of the time and en-
ergy Of parliament and the adminlstra-
ton were directed toward prepare
lions for possible wars against other
nations. He had learned to abhor war.
He made a stand for arbitration. He
proposed to substitute law for war.
This man, William Randall Cremer,
who Is still working valiantly in the
cause, founded the Interparliamentary
union. To the average mind perhaps
that body means little, yet 1t seems
destined to usher in the Tennysonian
parliament Of man and to bring about
In fact the federation Of the world.
On the 31st Of October, 1887, Mr..
Cremer appeared at Washington and
sought an interview with President
Cleveland. Andrew Carnegie, who as
president Of the national arbitration
and peace congress Yields the gavel
at the present meeting in Carnegie
hall, arranged the interview. MT. Gre
mer presented to the president a reso
luton drafted by himself to which he
had secured the signatures Of 234
members Of parliament heartily indors-

Lively Time at Church

There was a lively time at the
Catholic church on Tunnel Hill last
Sunday. Ii seems that at the close
of the services a man named King,
from Hiorra, who IS some kind ofa
mine boss there, was feeling pretty
good from pay day celebration Sat.
urday and started a row with ]. O.
luhill, of Tunnelton. A big friend
OF King jumped between them and
got his nose out Of commission for
his peace offering. 1t was set and
patched up later in the day by DR..
Bone, OF Function. Complaint
was made TO Justice Frank Craig
that King needed discipline, and
Charley Messenger and Oren Ashby
were appointed a specia! committee
to wait on him and invite him to a
seance at police court.
The sequel was pulled off Sunday
afternoon in his honor's bazar at the
Coal Center and King got S3r and
costs-about $40 in all-and bound
over to keep the peace for 36s days
aud nights, including a whole bunch
of pay day and c. O. ID. redemp-
tons and distributions. King had
the stuff in his jeans and promptly
liquidated liabilities for his infrac-
ton of the peace and dignity OF the

worries him 20 is how to DE good
