CONVENTION Of HOLDERS.

Philadelphia, Pa, May 22.-The an
nual convention of the International
Union of Iron Molders and Coremak-
ers opened in this city today, with
headquarters at the Continental hotel.
The principal business before the con-
vention is the question of an increase
in the dues of the organization. Last
year on account of the many strikes
in which the union was engaged it
was found necessary to levy num-
Der of extra assessments. If the dues
are increased, as seems probable. a
sinking fund will be established and
the extra assessments will be abol-
ished.

can remember very we'll, first when
stockwatering was widely practiced
in railroad circles and, second, when
the reaction came and railroad man.
ayers and financial papers" were out
spoken in condemnation of the wicked
practices of the past. Annual reports
of virtuous railroad managers teemed
with denunciation of the iniQuities,
fortunately never to be repeated.
Now these same people with memo
ry unimpaired have only to open
paper or look at the news of the day
to see that the wicked old-time stock
waterers were not half ION to their
jobs" and made as chief mistake
the blunder of not doing the business
on a sufficiently large scale. We have
had deeper and more scandalous
stockwatering in the past few years
than ever before. At the same time
it is not often that one finds such
a brazen defense of the vice as the
following, taken from the Financial
Chronicles"
No doubt there is excessive capitali-
cation among some railroads. But is
it so hideOus thing as We are asked
to believe? 1t is not criminal. 1t is
not something done secretly and in
the dark. 1t must necessarily be pub
lie and known to every one. Inflated
securities are justly measured where
values are fixed and no one is de-
ceived. Nor has over-capitalization
the remotest connection with the adj
justment of railroad rates. They who
talk of shippers and the travelling
public being burdened with eXtortion-
ate rates that the railroads may pay
dividends on excessive capitalization
are ignorantly associating two entire
ly separate and independent things.
With any given schedule of rates, a
railroad, however prudently operated,
can earn but certain sum frOmNa
given volume of traffic, and what mat
tiers it if that sum be three per cent
on $100,000,000 or six per cent on
$50,000,000. Even supposing a rail-
road to be so capitalized as to pre-
clude, under ordinary conditions, the
paying of anything to its stockhold-
ers, will it mend matters by throwing
around it such legal or illegal re-
straints as to render it forever i'm
possible to do so?
We have little patience for that
class of argument which in one
/! breath declares that over-capitaliza-
ton has nothing to do with railroad
| rates and in the next breath calls
loudly for rate that shall give a
reasonable return on the investment.
After the thimble-riggers and manipu-
1ators have worked off their capital
lied water on the we'll known and
ever bereaved widows and orphans,
these shares become investments and
call for return. 1t may be, as the
Chronicle" puts it, that there is no
difference between three per cent on
$100,000,000 and six per cent on $780,
100000. But how about the difference
between six per cent on 500, 900
and twelve per cent on $50,000,000?
When the profits show up like that,
it is time for the watering-pot so as
to get the return, down not up, to
reasonable rate. 1t is hard work ever
to justify a lie, even in high finance,
and water in stock is direct false
hood

COLLEGE MISSIONARIES.

Within few weeks the annual
round of commencements will be the
centre of attraction in schools and
colleges throughout the land. Grad
uatiOn essays and dresses, gowns and
orations will be the supreme thoughts
in the minds of students everywhere.
1t is time for theorizing, for SER
monizing and for the giving of adj
vice which is never needed.
1t is something of a question if
the young people who are going out
of the schools and colleges annually
are not given too roseate perspec-
tive OF life. If the tone of the grad
uation essay and Grafton is cri-
terion by which to Judge these things,
every one has hitched his chariot to
a star. The heretofore unconquered
world will soon yield to the con-
quering hand of the budding genius.
The evils that have existed since the
first dawn of civilization will soon
be righted. The things for which
mankind has waited and longed will
be its so soon as the magic wand
of the graduate can touch the hidden
spring The view is intensely opti-
mistic.
But once the glamour of the grad
uation footlights has faded and the
face is set toward life's realities, the
scene changes. 1t is found that 9TH
ers have striven to remedy the same
evils; others have attempted to con-
quer the same world only to give up
in despair, the mile stones of failure
standing as monuments to their OPP
timism and energy; others have
sought to bring to mankind the same
alchemist's recipe for Transforming
the baser things of life into its re-
fined gold. All have not entirely fail
ed. The struggle which they made
served at least to keep the equilib-
rum between reaction and progress
sion, the natural tendency being to-
wards the former.
But out of the conflict has come
a great army who, passing the portals
which separates the roseate and vi
sionary of youth from the common
place and practical of life, have failed
to realize the hopes of school and
college life, have lost the zeal with
which alone success is possible. and
become gloomy, respondent, skeptical,
disappointed.
Would it not be better to substi-
tute something of the real for the
visionary? Would not the young men
and women behind whom the college
doors are swinging, be better quail
fled for the stern duties of life; to
expect disappointment and defeat, and
IN the end to adjust themselves to
actual rather than artificial condi-
tons? The solution of life's prob
lens are strenuous enough for the
most sanguine, even where not over
drawn, and if the colleges would de-
velop in the students an understand
ing and appreciation of the realities
OF life and the world their graduates
would suffer less disappointment in
the end.

ELEVEN YEARS OF ECZEMA.
Hands Cracked and BIeeding-Nall
Game OFF of Finger-Cuticura REM
edies Brought Prompt Relief.

II had eczema on my hands for
about eleven years. The hands crack
ed open in many places and bled. One
of my fingers was SO bad that the
nail came off. 1 had often heard of
cures by the Cuticura Remedies, but
had no confidence in them as I had
tried so many remedies, and they all
had failed to cure me. / had seen
three doctors, but got no relief. Final
ly my husband said that we would
try the Cuticura Remedies, SO we got
a cake Of Cuticura Soap, box of
Cuticura Ointment, and two bottles
of Cuticura Resolvent Pills. Of course
I keep Cuticura Soap all the time for
my hands, but the one cake of Soap
and half a box of Cuticura Ointment
cured them. It is surely blessing
for me to have my hands well, and I
am very proud of having tried Cuti-
cura Remedies, and recommend them
to all suffering with eczema. Mrs.

Where, madam, is your husband? p

Keen Your Blood Pure,

No one can be happy, light-hearted
and healthy with a body full Of blood
that cannot do it's duty to every part
because of its impurity; therefore, the
first and most important work in hand
is to purify the blood so that every
organ will get the full benefit of a
healthy circulation. There is no rem
edy so good as that old family rem
edy, Brandreth's Pills. Each pill con-
tains one grain of the solid extract Of
sarsaparilla blended with two grains
of a combination of pure and mild
vegetable products, making it a blood
purifier unexcelled in character. One
or two taken every night for awhile
will produce surprising results.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over a century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

JAP YOUTH ON scHooLsHIP.

American Boat.

The first Japanese youth to be ad-
mitted to the crew of the schoolshIp
ST. Mary's is Katzern Artyoshi. Art
yoshi, who is II years old, has been
in the revenue cutter service on the
Pacific for the last three years.
AS it is necessary for all foreigners
who wish 10 become members Of the
Scholarships crew to have a guardian,
Artyoshi was forced to get one before
he could be admitted to the crew. He
succeeded in getting Capt. Osborn to
act in that capacity. Capt. Osborn
will coach the boy along and help him
over the hard points in his lessons.
Artyoshi has not made up his mind
yet whether he will remain in this
country or go home to Japan after he
has been graduated from the school
ship. A term on the schoolship fits
a boy for service in the merchant ma
rine. Artyoshi says he likes the
United States and may stay here, but
If Japan ever goes to war he will re-
turn home quickly as possible to take
part in it.

MONKS FIRST PLAYED DoMINoEs
Origin Of Game That Is Popular the
World Over.

With regard to the game of DOM
inoes there is a very interesting
story connected with it's origin. It
runs thus: There were two monks
who had been committed to the pen
atty of long seclusion and were con-
demned to keep absolute silence. To
relieve the monotony they played a
game by showing each other small
fiat stones marked with black dots.
By a MISUNDERSTOOD arrangement,
the monk whose hand was used at
first informed the other player by
repeating in an undertone the first
line of the vesper hymn, "Cantate
Domino" (Sing unto the Lord. In
time the monks completed the set of
stones and formulated the rules of
the game, so that by the time they
we're free to come out from their pun
ishment they had found the game so
interesting that on teaching it to the
other members of the monastery it
became favorite and lawful pastime.
1t soon became popular all through
Italy and from there extended to the
whole world. The first line of the yes.
per hymn which the monks had used
as signal was reduced to the word
domino, and the name has stuck to the
game ever since.
