Spokane Typographical Union
has withdrawn its delegates from
the Central Labor Union and will
appeal to Samuel Gompers to take
up the question of the unseati,g of
Rev. j. w. Hindley, ministerial
delegate, which was brought about
at the instance of the Bartenfier,
Union at a recent meeting. Rev.
Mr.. Hindley was regularly elected
and seated. but the action WAS re-
scinded, as noted. at a subsequent
meeting, delegates of the Barteud-
ers' Union declaring that a repre-
sentative Of the church could not
be other than antagonistic to their
interests. The printers were the
first to line up in defense of the
preacher, who is a tried friend of
organized labor, and they will take
steps to bring the matter to the at
tention of the chief executive of
the federation, asking for the seat
ing of Mr.. Hindley.

GLOVES OF WHALEHiDE.
Attempt to Find Profitable Use for
Wasted Product

Newfoundland Whalers, seized with
reported to be attempting to place
while hide on the market for the
manufacture of whale leather
1t is not surprising that s;fch an
attempt should be made. 1t must vex
the spirit of any whaler Of we'll bal
anced mind to see, after all the hard
ship and danger OF his calling. an
enormous and altogether disprOpor-
tionate bulk of his quarry cast away.
From a large right whale of, say
45 to 80 feet in length, about go
barrels of oil and enc and three-quar-
ter tens of baleen. or whalebone, may
be obtained. The remainder OF the
gigantic carcass, which may be as
much rs fifty tons, has hitherto been
considered useless.

1t is also hoped that the intestines
of the whale will be made remunera-
tive. This product is described as
very thin and tough and suitable for
glove manufacturers.
Regarding the use of whale for
glove making, Leicester square firm
gave their opinion that the only salts.

is goatsKin.
1T is not unlikely, however, they
said, that whale intestine could be
manufactured into coed motoring and
driving VlCves. for which reindeer
at present holds the field against all
other skins.
At various times many skins have
been tried, such as the skins of croc.
cdiles, cats, pigs. calves, lambs and
even rats. Many of the mems cheap
dress gloves en- the market are made
in Naples of the skins of the local
sewer rats. But practically all the
skins mentioned have been found
treachercus. Glove skins must not
only be pliable, but also perfectly
tough and firm, since they have to be
sewn up right at the edge. If whale
intestine be found to possess these
three qualities no doubt there would
quickly be market for whale gloves

som EWHERE,

There's a whisper in the branches o!
the heaven rearing pines,
And a purple blossom smiling from
behind the c!inging vines:
There's the chatter of chipmunk, as
he leaps from tree to tree,
While the daisies yonder whisper:
Come out here and play with
me-
There's a path. winding ribbon, just
the clover fields beyond,
That goes stealing through the mead
ows to the distant pick'rel pond;
There's the cool, dank, grateful shad-
ows; there's the lazy, droning
bee,
Ard fancy them a-saying: Come
out h~re and play with me-
There's IN orchard where the frag-
rance of the fields come lifting
3weet,
Where the sod is velvet tenderness to
pavement weary feet;
Ehere are songs, without restraint.
from songsters winging to the
blue,
And each feathered throat is singing
of its song at me and you!
There's quaint, old-fashioned garden
with it's peas and hollyhocks,
And its blushing, loving roses, timid
pansies, flaming phlox;
And a sweet. old fashioned lady, with
a blossom in her hair,
Winding in and out among them,
watching every one with care.
And the dear old-fashioned lady, with
her crown of wavy snow.
Beams a smile and huns love song
as she patters to and fro.
And it's oh, so sweet-the dreaming!
They're so much of life a part,
For they've somehow found dwelling
here within a rugged heart.

Free once more, Juan Verdugo left

tainly guilty-his record was about as
bad as a record can be made in thirty
six years, and the moral and circum-
stantial evidence Of his guilt was ap-

But in Mexico the criminal law does
not recognize crcums tantial evidence
nor moral certainty. Not without
some difficulty, and considerable
courteous insistence on this point, the
young licenciado, Valentin Rivas, con-
WINGED the court that the notorious
and ill-favored bandit was at least
technically innocent of the latest
crimes charged TO him-a highway
robbery to which no witnesses could
be produced, for the beautifully SIM
pie reason that he had killed them.
