TeIegraphers' Strike Averted.
The pending dispute between the
Telegraphers' union and the employing
companies, the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph, reached a crisis
when the executive committee Of the
union voted to call a strike against
either or both companies within a week
or. so. Commissioner of Labor Neill
came to New York at the request of
President Roosevelt to confer with the
disputants and persuaded the compa-
MES to abolish the sliding scale and
make the 10 per cent increase uni
versal. This satisfied the union, and
the strike was averted.
For Better Steel Rails.
Representatives of the Carnegie and
Bethlehem Steel companies have been
in conference at Pittsburg over the re-
cent general cutlery of railroad men
against the quality Of the rails being
furnished. In an interview Charles NJ.
Schwab, former head of the steel trust.
said it was true that many accidents
were due to the poor quality of rails.
He said he wanted not only an open
hearth rail made. but a nickel alleged,
or harveyized,. rail which could be de-
pended on forever. The steel men say
they have agreed on a new design of
rail to be submitted to the commit

diyerts trade to and from American
ports at its own sweet will by coercive
measures such as pooling. The COM
plainants disclaim any objection to
competition. The case is likely to raise
an. international controversy.

Foraker In Fighting Mood.

Foraker In Fighting Mood
Upon his return from Washington to
his home in Ohio Senator Forakef
made it plain to the newspaper men
that he was preparing to resist with all
honorable means the elimination Of
himself from Ohio politics, which con-
gressmen had declared to be necessary.
The previous reports Of harmony COM
promise were discredited by Foraker's
talk, and his friends say that he Will
now proceed to make the fight district
by district and county by county.
In an interview and again in a public
address at the commencement OF q
Wilberforce university. a negro insti-
tuition, the senator gave his Informal
conclusion as to the Brownsville at
fray in the light Of the senatorial In
vestigation just ended. In his opinion
the testimony of the negro soldiers had
not been shaken by that of the citizens
of Brownsville, and no important item
of new evidence had been brought Tor
ward against them. He said that NIL
croscopic inspection of the shells and
bullets which were said to have been
picked up in the streets and houses
after the shooting had disposed entire
" of this evidence against the accused
soldiers. The only other testimony
was that of the eyewitnesses of the
shooting, and nearly all of this, he
thought, had been largely d~iscredited
by the testimony of the officers as to
the darkness of the night.
Recount For New York City.
The bill providing for a recanvass OF
the votes cast in the New York mayor
atty election in 1905 was signed by
Governor Hughes, with a notable
memorandum. The governor said that
the failure to test the correctness Of
this election had become a
public scandal and that widespread
doubt existed as to the accuracy of the
count. He added that it must be taken
for granted that the ballots had been
preserved until shown otherwise. The
attorney for William r. Hearst. the
contesting candidate, had already an
nounced that Mr.. Hearst would ask for
a recount in every election district In
the city. The anvas will be made
under the authority and direction Of
the supreme court.
Bankhead In Morgan's Place.
Representative John H.. Bankhead Of
Alabama has been appointed by Gov

Senator Morgan, this to finish ont b

meets, July 9. This appointment was
made because Bankhead was the nom

STEPHEN eIRARp.
The Eccentric Millionaire Was a Man
of Many Moods.

NV sN 's~s
of Many Moods.
To get a subscription from Stephen
Gtrard, founder Of Girard college in
Philadelphia, was not al easy matter.
1t required tact and the right introduc
ton, and many failed, While few suc-
ceeded. 1t is told by the author Of The
French Blood In America" that Samuel
Coates, a genial Quaker, was II Of
the few men who knew how to ap-
proach the eccentric millionaire.
He was a manager Of the rennsyls
vania hospital and called Oh Girard for
the purpose of raising money for the
support of that institution.
"Well, how much do you want
Coatesy" asked Girard in hts usual
brusque tones.
"Just what thee pleases to give. Ste
phen," replied the Quaker. Girard
wrote out a check for $1,000 and, hand
ing it to Mr.. Coates, was surprised to
see that gentleman pocket it without
looking at the amount.
"What! You don't look to see how
! much l give your" cried Girard incred-
ulously.
"Beggars must not be choQsers, Ste
phen," replied the Quaker.
"Give me back my check, and l will
change it, said Girard after a mo-
ment's pause.
ga bird in the hand is worth two in
the bush, thee knows, Stephen" mildly
replied the Quaker. Without another
word Girard sat down and wrote him
out a second check for $4,000.
His farm on the outskirts Of Phila-
delphia was one of the best in the
! country, and while living in town he
often drove out before breakfast to see
that all was going we'll. He was cry
exacting with his hired hands and neve-
trusted the management of his farm 20
any one else, but ran it himself, as he
did all his affairs. Arriving one NOM
ing a little earlier than usual, he was
greatly annoyed at not finding his man
at work on a fence that he vas build
ing. The mans. wife, noticing Girard
approaching the house, hurriedly awoke
her husband and sent him to his duties
by way of the back door. After visit
ing the house Girard returned to tho
fence and; seeing the man at his post,
reprimanded him for being late.
I'D been here, sir, but went back for
a spade" said the workman.
"No, you hadn't. 1 went and put my
hand in your bed and found it warm"
replied Girard, and he discharged the
man ON the spot.

Temperatures

From the monthly meteorological
summary. issued by the weather bur-
eau and furnished the Sentinel
through the courtesy of the Observ-
er Guthrie, the following interesting
facts concerning the weather that
prevailed in Grand Junction during

ed during the month was SO degrees

grees on the 10th The greatest
daily range was 3S degrees on the
18th. The least daily range of tenn
perature was Is degrees on the Sth.
The mean temperature for the
month of June for a period of 16
years has been 81 degrees.
The total precipitation for the
month was 0.06 inch. The greatest
precipitation in "a hours was 0.32

NEED 1T ON THE FOURTH.
ANTITOXIN INDISPENSIBLE

The big firecracker will soon be at
work, instilling patriotism into the
hearts of the youth of the land and
terror into the hearts of the parents.
Ere four days pass by the youngsters
with much noise will have celebrated
the 131st birthday anniversary of
their country. With the celebra-
tion come the inevitable court plas-
ter, bandages, medicated cotton and
lint. To these time honored applica-
tions for the relief of the patriotic
has been added the antitoxin as a
preventative of tetanus, as the ply
slcians say, but much better known
to the uninitiated as lock jaw.
Police surgeon Samuel G. Paul to
whom falls much of the burden of
carrying for the hapless lads who get
too close to the fireworks, regards
antitoxin as indispensable to any well
regulated Fourth of July celebration.
"Antitoxin, administered in time,
says DR.. Paul, will in almost every
case prevent tetanus. 1t has been
the means of saving the lives of thou
sands of Fourth of July Celebration
victims. Tetanus is the besetting
danger, and without it the percentage
of deaths would be much smaller. In
1903, out of 466 Fourth of July
deaths, 416 were due to tetanus; the
next year there were 1873 deaths as
the result of the celebration. 105 be-
ing from tetanus, in 1905 there were
1872 deaths, 104 of which were from
tetanus and last year there were but
15S deaths, and only SO cases of tet-
anus.
The decrease shown by these fig
ures is almost wholly due to the
prompt administration of tetanus an
titoxin, which is being used more
and more each year by physicians
to ward off any disastrous effects
of an over jubilant celebration. -

they would be fit to govern them

he added that the matter was entire

safd he had absolute confidence In
the Filipinos, denied that he was dis
appointed at their ability TO legis-
late conservatively and asserted bis

HIS SERMON TO PREACHERS
More Gospel and Less Reform
Needed, Judge Philips Says.

K. c. Star. 20.
The first opportunity that Judge
John F. Philips has to tell the preach.
ers they preach too much about
politics, Sunday closing and affairs
that concern the civil administration
OF the state and nation, he Is going
to do 1t He said so yesterday and
he said some other things, too.
Judge Philipsis Presbyterian and
so Is Judge Wallace, but they do not
hold to the same ideas about Sun.
day closing.
"This thing Of trying to force men
to observe Sunday, instead OF preach.
Ing TO them the religion OF the Lord
Jesus Christ that will make them
good, Is radically wrong" Judge
Philips said.
1.-THE complaint is that too few
people attend church. No vonderl
People go to church to hear Of the
beauties Of the religion Of the Lord
Jesus Christ and to worship God,
not to hear the preachers talk about
what they Gee in the papers, about
the things that are at fault in the
business, about politics, and about
various other things that q man
struggles and wrestles with all dur.
Ing the week and longs to get away
from on Sunday.
THE preacher is not expected to
take up very reform issue that comes
along In the administration Of civil
affairs. We have too many reform.
ers these days, anyway, who are
struggling to advance themselves
rather than the interest Of tho peo.
pie. We have too many people try.
ing to make the success IN the reform
business that Joseph W. Folk and
some Others made.
"The very minute preachers begin
dabbling In politics and the admins.
tration Of civil affairs and passing
resolutions about things separate
and distinct from the affairs a the
church, they iorsake their calling e.
preachers Of the religion Of the Lord
Jesus Christ and arouse prejudice
and hatred In The hearts oi msn over
Questions which should b kept spa.
rate from the church"
