SH0EMAKERS AT DINNER
Ex-senator EIsberg Compliments

Ex-senator Nathaniel A. EIsberg. speaking last
right ~ the eighth annual dinner OF the Shoe
Manufacturers Association Of New York. and de-
crying the present tendency to look with sus-
pic,oa al modern business methods, said:

Referring TO his subject, The Sole IN Modern
Economics he said that If there soul

berg would now be IN the Senate or crossing hands
with Justice Frederick E. Crane across the bench
Of the Supreme Court.
The shoe industry" said Mr.. Lexow. Stands
to-day IN the vast wilderness OF combinations Of
trade a monument to the success Of individual
industry IN American life"
He said that the position of the shoe industry
an exponent Of individuallsm was unique, and the
noteworthy because ct the threshold Of the
business stood four highly concentrated combina-
tions-upper leather, sole leather. machinery and
labor. That you should have been able to hold
out against the pressure Of such combinations" he
added, is an emphatic answer TO the champions Of
so-called modern evolution. When we come to
analyze our position that general prosperity
has been superseded by frenzied finance, which
leads TO the rapid concentration in the hands OF
the few Of the capital and the resources and the
politics of the country. The correction for this lies
not in new laws but in strengthening the moral
standards
Il DO not believe" said ex-senator Esoerg,

and this was ascribed TO Saint Januarius's
wrath at the republican form Of government
The Neapolitans gave full credit TO this re-
port and decided 10 massacre the French
garrison to a man and recall the deposed
sovereign IL the miracle Of Saint Januarius
did not take place.
The French took precautions against a
surprise and mustered strong in the cathe-
dral when the day fixed for the miracle ar
rived. Gen, Championnet commanding the
garrison, attended the function with his
stan and waited in patience for the blood TO
begin boiling.
The miracle was delayed beyond the usual
time and everybody became impatient.
Signs Of revolt were manifest and n conflict
seemed imminent, when the General sent
an aide-de-camp to the priest at the altar
with a message that il the blood did not boil
within ten minutes he would be shot.
The priest became pale, began 10 tremble
and almost tainted, but mastering his
emotion he TOOK up the r%eliquary. turned
it around twice and within five minutes the
blood was boiling. When later this episode
became known belief in the miracle was
considerably shaken, but evidently with
the passing of time it was forgotten, ana

great that many faint and are trampled
under foot, and the soldiers in the church
have a most busy time in maintaining
order. The whole city seems to go crazy
the bells ring all day long, fireworks are
let of and everybody is happy.
Al Pozzuoli, in a small church erected
on the site where the saint suffered mar
tyrdom. there is an old stone with some
dark stains supposed to be his blood. When
the miracle of ebullition takes place at
the cathedral these stains, which can
hardly be distinguished at other times,
change color and become visible.
Among the many explanations given
of the miracle it has been said that the
ebullition of the blood is due to the high
temperature owing TO the overlighted
altar and crowded cathedral. 1t has also
been asserted that there are two reli-
q%uarles, one containing coagulated blood
and the other a colored solution Of alcohol,
and carping critics credit the officiating
clergyman with singular powers Of sleight
Of hand by saying that he changes one
reliquary for the other.
Quite recently a Sicilian chemist an
bounced that he had discovered the secret
of the miracle. He filled a glass bottle
with a composition made Of coagulated
animal blood and some fatty substance,
held il near a lighted candle, Shaking it
violently all the time. Inc when it became
LIQUID pretended that 1t was boiling. and
hence argued that he had performed a
similar phenomenon TO that Of the blood of
st. Januarius.
The anti c~lericals throughout Italy were
considerably elated at what they regarded
IA a positive proof that the miracle was a
fraud. but they refused to repeat the ex-
pertinent before two Catholic chemists
who wagered a large sum Of money that
they would detect Juggling. One result
OF this so-called exposure OF the miracle
was that the officiating clergyman at the
Naples cathedral abstained from making
use Of n candle during the last performance
of the miracle, May s.
None OF the explanations OF the phe-
nomenon given 30 far deserves TO be con-
futed, especially as every one is free TO
believe or not that the phenomenon is
miraculous, Many persons, and among
them several priests OF great learning, doubt
its supernatural character.
In the year i7Oa, when the French had
occupied Naples and established the So
called Partenopean Republic, the military
, authorities were very much afraid Of an
instruction at the time the miracle was to
happen. A rumor had been set aHoa that
the blood Of the patron saint would not boil.
