The laboring people OF Richmoad-that

eted with tie Central Trades and Labor
Council-have determined to become more
aggressive ia politics than they have
been heretofore. AT the meeting Of the
council last night resolutions were intro
ouced making II compulsory upon unions
affiliated 70 furnish TO the body names
and addresses Of all members. Much dis
cussion was had pro and con. but tho
resolution was finally adopted almost
unanimously.
The discussion brought out the fact
that the council was composed OF adher-
ents 20 almost every political faith. and
at times the 'jals' given by one menu

b delegates, representing thirty-hve
unions, with a membership amounting to
nearly 5000 voters. agreed that the next
meeting OF the council should consider as
a special order the question OF having
the names and addresses Of all members
OF unions furnished TO the secretary. This
would enable the body to correspond with
them when election time comes around.
The special order also provides for the
ful and free discussion OF politics IN
the next meeting. such action to be taken
as Is thought best Tor the various unions.

suns nave greWsOme histories,
but the Russian cannon dates back to
a time and place when atrocities were
common. On account of its interest
ing history it will be exhibited at the
aska-YukOn-Pacific exposition, which
will be held at Seattle in 1909. Here
is the story, as told by the sailors of
Puget sound to the awe-stricken cabin

When Russia owned Alaska the gov
ernment was at Sitka, and the Rus
sian cruiser Poitkovsky was the
guardian of law and order. The Po-
ntkovsky carried a complement Of

was a formidable fighting craft

pension from the estate for caring for
him, would have TO engage several as
sistants if she put into practice all
the suggestions she received in the
scores of letters sent TO BIackie and
to her from all over the world, but
she has paid no attention to any of
them, and having brought Blackie up
since he first opened his eyes, 16
years ago, she feels capable, she says,
of doing what is best for him, and
Of making his life as long as it is
possible for a cat to live. Already he
is far older than most cats, and he
seems to realize his unique position as
a cat of inherited wealth, for he is
stately and dignified, he does not
lavish caresses upon anyone, not even
his devoted attendant, Miss Ruch.
Truth to tell Blackie, as if he does
not find comfort in riches, is a rather
morOse animal, and takes life far too
seriously. Perhaps if he had to
hustle for his meals like many cats
who are heard at night singing their
paeans of satisfaction, he might be
happier.
Blackie sits up at table, has
shrimps, Italian chestnuts and other
dainties to eat, has fur-lined baskets
in which to repose, and many cozy
couches and soft chairs upon which
to curl
Imagine his scoTn when a letter
came from a western woman saying
that what Blackie needed was a
couple of kittens to play with-kittens
which would romp up and down the
room, pull his whiskers, pursue his
tail, bite his ears and claw his nose.
She even offered to furnish the kit
tens, and guaranteed that they would
give him the time of his life.
Think of the curl of his nose when
came a letter from a New York wom-
an who, preparing to go abroad with
her husband for some months, wrote
offering to send her cat to keep
Blackie company while she was away.
and suggesting that, as her cat was a
well-bred and highly-cultivated ami
NAL, Blackie would be pleased. Such
presumption!

valued at $l75 an acre Mrs. Pyatt
will have a hard time retaining the
gift, however, as GOrham's son Henry
who lives in Champaign, has filed a
suit in the circuit court, charging Mrs
Pyatt with obtaining the property by
undue influence. II is only two months
ago that the woman invited her aged
uncle to come from Champaign, where
he had been living with his son, to
establish a home in the village of
Homer. where she could care for him.
He readily consented, as did the son,
who, however, demanded a contract
from her in regard to compensation.
