EXPELLED DELEGATE SEATED.
He Had introduced Hearst at Meeting and
Voted Republican Ticket.

Syracuse, Sept. 19.-The convention of the state
Federation of worBingnen by a decisive vote
seated Harry G. Williams. delegate from the
Eo-seshoers' Union of this city. who had been
exnelled bv the Trades Assembly of this city. The
local delegates fought Williams in the convention
declaring that he had introduced w r. Hearst
at the Labor Day celebration in this city in 1876
and had subsequently supported the enure he-
publican ticket, one local candidate being un-
friendly to organized labor. Williams declared
that he was chairman of the Labor Day commit
tee and had in that capacity introduced MI
Hearst and that his courtesy did not imply or
REQUIRE political support The debate in the con-
vention very personal
The federation passed resolution almost unani-
mously this afternoon indorsing Justice William
J Gaynor and John T. McDonough for nomina-
ton for the Court Of Appeals. The convention also
approved resolutions pledging support toward the
defence of Meyer and Pettbone, of the Western
Federation of Miners. and opposing, on behalf of
the bartenders further extension of local option.

Glasses and the Eyes.

Every one knows that in using a field glass it is necessary to adjust it to a proper focus. Suppose that you put one of the tubes at your focus and the other tube at focus that suited some one else and then you looked through both tubes. You would have more or less blurred vision, and if you kept on looking the chances are that you would feel giddy and get a headache. Now. the two eyes are sup posed to have an equal natural focus, and when by any chance that focus is unequal headache results The rem edy is a pair of glasses or a single glass to make the eyes equal in power.

Famous Collection of Antlers.


 Of the famous collections of antlers formed in the seventeenth century only two or three have escaped the general fate of conflagrations, sieges and pill lage. One of these is in Moritzburg, the king of Saxony's historical hunting castle, near Dresden, while in the cele- brated gun gallery in Dresden itself are to be seen in an unrivaled show the wonderfully inlaid arms used by the elector. The great banqueting hall of the castle of Moritzburg is one of the sights with which no doubt many a travelled reader has been charmed. It is a chamber of noble proportions, sixty-six feet long by thirty-four wide and thirty-eight feet high. On its oth- erwise unadorned white walls hang seventy-one pairs of magnificent ant lers, whi~'l one may describe as the most famous of their kind in the world. Not single one carries less than twenty-four tines or Is less than POO years old. while some are probably double that age.

The most terrible duel fought at any time in Paris was the one between Colonel D., an old Bonapartist officer
 and M de c. of the Gardes du Corps, mere youth, but of herculean strength. The two men, lashed togeth- CT so as to leave their right arms free were armed with short knives. placed in a hackney coach and driven at a tearing gallop around the Place de la Concorde. They were taken out of the coach dead. The colonel had eighteen stabs, the youth only four, but one of these had pierced his heart.

No Rhyme For Tipperary.

A poet once jumped to the conclusion that there was no rhyme to Tipperary and said so, whereupon an indignant Irishman, who chanced also to be bit of a versitier, bounced upon him and poked fun at him in lengthy poem. every other line of which rhymed or was supposed to rhyme with the place in question. Thus:
 A bard there was in sad quandary To find a rhyme for Tipperary.
 Long labored he through January,
 Yet found no rhyme for Tipperary; Toiled every day in February,
 But toiled in vain for Tipperary;
 Searched Hebrew text and commentary, But searched in vain for Tipperary.
 And so on through many scores of stanzas, ending up with:
 He paced about his aviary,
 Burnt in despair his dictionary,
 Blew up sky high his secretary,
 And then in wrath and anger sware he There was no rhyme for Tipperary.

Promises to the Dying.

A clergyman, discussing unhappy love affairs, said:
 Many love tragedy is caused by d husbands promise to dying wife that he will not marry again. He thinks when he makes this promise that it will be easy to keep. Whether it is easy or hard to keep, it is a promise rarely if ever broken. Time and time again widOwerS have sought me out for advice on this subject. They are in love, but they promised their dead wives not to marry again. Shall they break or keep this promise l can only advise them to do as their conscience dictates. At the same time l think it is selfish of dying wives to extract such promises from their bro ken hearted husbands Such prom ises, by the way. are rarely extracted by dying husbands from broken heart ed wives. But, then, when the dead husbands will is read it is usually found that if the widow marries again the money is all taken from her. So it comes to the same thing in the end, doesn't itT'-New York Press.

Hundreds of people have cured them selves of impediments in speech. One of last years mayors as young man used to find it almost impossible to pro nounce words beginning with a "q."

Some Old Time Giants.

Cajanus, a Swedish giant who was nine feet high, was on exhibition in London in 1742, and several old hand bills still exist which set forth the measurements of this freak of nature. Thirty years later we have Charles Byrne. who was eight feet four inches In height in his stockinged feet He, however. died young, at the age of twenty two, from hard drinking. Cot ter O'Byrne, another Irish giant, fol lowed a few years later. He was born at Kinsale in 1761 and at the age of fifteen was eight feet high. This by the time he was twentythree had increased to nine feet four inches, and then he changed his name to O'Brian in order to make people think that he was descended from King Brian Bo- roihme and went on exhibition. At that business he, of course, soon real 1ed very comfortable fortune and re- tired, dying at Clifton on Sept. 8, 1904. His will especially provided that his body should be thrown into the sea in order to prevent the surgeons from cut ting it up.

A Mother,. Arrnment.


 s-The most to be regretted act of my life" says a commander of the navy twas a letter I wrote to my mother when about seventeen years of age She always addressed her letters to me as my dear boy felt at that time was a man, or very near 1t, and wrote saying that her constant ad- dressing me as a boy made me feel displeased. I received in reply a letter Gull of reproaches and tears Among other things, she said: You might grow to be as big as Goliath. as strong as Samson and as wise as Solomon; you might become ruler of a nation or em- peror of many nations, and the world might revere you and fear you, but to your devoted mother you would al ways appear in memory in your inno- cent, unpretentious, unself conceited unpampered babyhood. In those days when l washed and dressed and kissed and worshiped you, you were my idol. Nowadays you are becoming part of a gross world by contact with it, and I cannot bow down to you and worship you, but if there are manhood and maternal love transmitted to you, you will understand that the highest com pliment that mother love can pay you is to call you "my dear boy."'"

A Celebrated Clock.

The art of the clockmaker has achieved many remarkable triumphs during many centuries. Sometimes it Is a clock wonderful for the complexi- ty of its movements and its busy popu- lation of automatons that attracts our admiration, like that in the Cathedral of Strassburg. At other times the i'm mense size of the machinery and the dials eXcites astonishment. This is the case with the celebrated clock in the tower of the Church of St. Rombaut at Mechlin. A writer in La Nature thinks this clock possesses the largest dials that exist in the world. There are four of them, one on each side of the great square tower, and their extreme diam eter Is nearly thirty-seven and one-half feet. The figures showing the hours are nearly six and one-half feet high, and the hands have length of nearly twelve feet.
