EUGENE Y. DEBS
 ATTACKS GOMPERS

Syracuse, N. Y, October 3.-Eugene V. Debs, socialist candidate for President, held two big meetings here tonight. He read the demand of-a local labor paper that he answer the charge of Samuel Gompers that he sold out the A. R. U. He stated that he regretted the necessity of answering the charge, and then said:
 'Gompers dare not meet me and make this statement His statement Is an un- qualified falsehood. If you will have Gompers come here I will come across the continent to meet him and prove him a vulgar falsifier. He said I betrayed the locomotive fremen, but I have an invita- tion to their convention. When I re- signed they gave me $2OOO I refused to take it. Has Gompers ever refused any thing? When I was at the head of the A. R. U., Gompers was doing all he could to break the strike
 If he ever dare face me I'll prove to his face that he is a coward and liar Gompers this year is for the democratic party, but he does not care to go to Ala bama and make speeches. All the atroci- ties of the middle ages are perpetrated in the south. Gompers has harped about keeping out of politics, but now he is trying to bring the workingmen to be sheared at the democratic shambles in the south"

LUMBER TRADE ENJOYS
 RENEWAL OF ACTIVITIES
By A. c. AYL ESWoRTH.

Hattiesburg, Miss. October S.-(Special) This has been the week looked forward to by the lumber trade as promising td bring the reopening of many lumber mills in this territory that have been idle during the summer, and the reports that have come in indicate that expectations have been very fully met. Three or four mills down on the New Orleans, Mobile and Chicago road, one or two west of here, on the Mississippi Central and a few on the Gulf and Ship Island road have either reopened. or being already in operation have taken on an increased force. The demand for lumber has set tied down to a fair level, and the mills do not apprehend that they will fall short on orders to take up their entire cut. The improvement in the industry general ly in this section is shown very well by the traffic on the railroads that center here. all of which are hauling lumber of every grade in quantities to make the business a considerable item. There has also sprung up quite demand for saw mill labor of every kind, and men who have been idle for months or who have drifted into other lines of work are again lining up at the pay window on Sat urday nights N The jobbing houses of Hattiesburg also feel the improvement, for in view of the spending of larger amounts of money in all the sawmill towns larger orders for supplies are com ing inA~
 The Conner sawmill at Seminary, which expected to resume on the first, has been compelled to hold off for some ten days because of inability to get the machinery in shape This is one of the largest mills on the Gulf and Ship Island road north of here. It will operate on full time when it does reopen.
 The Ten-Mjle Lumber company, south of here, on the same line of road, has resumed It Is a big establishment, and will give employment to a. large force of laborers The mill will be engaged on export material mostly, there having been a considerable improvement in the export market.
 The directors of the J. J. Newman Lum- Der company of this city aref in session this week at Scranton, Pa, and have be- fore them the bids of the various com petitors for the contract of erecting the big new steel plant for the company in this city, The directors are supposed to confirm the letting of the contract to Siler & Stowall of Milwaukee, who were tentatively awarded the contract here. Of dciaI announcement of the signing of the papers has not yet reached here, though it is believed there will be no loss of time about the business, since the continued improvemnt in the lum- her market makes 1t desirable for the company to get the mill in operation.

The Home of Juliet.
Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 There Is lamentation in Verona and along the Via Cappello the ancient fronts of the houses re-echo the dolor- ous accents of the Veronese, for the palace of the Capulets" has been con- stunned from rooftree to cellerage by fire, and the occupation of the guides who conducted people thither and the cicerone who solemnly showed them Juliet's balcony is irrevokably gone, along with the building of. romantic and reverend tradition.
 What difference did the inscription on the marble tablet over the gateway make? What though the unimpassioned Baedeker refused to give credence to the legend of its former occupancy? The Veronese devoutly believe it was the house of the Capuetti, and the iconoclasms of modern professors of history and archaeologists had no power to shake the faith of thousands of pilgrims on their sentimental jour- neys to the spot where Romeo is sup posed to have stood and poured forth his soul to his beloved. It did them good to believe that from that bal, COHy dCIudiiy iCchCu tO hOeSi eAiO impassioned plaint of the incomparable lover. The scientific historians these days are trying to take from us tho exploit of Arnold of Winkelried, they deny the story of William Tell and the apple, of George Washington and the cherry tree, of Israel Putnam and the wolf den. A Harvard professor says there Is nothing to prove Washington took command of his army under the so-called Washington elm. But the men and women of Verona are not minded to let Romeo and Juliet go the way of Romulus and Remus, among the "old, unhappy, far-off things" into the realm of myth and mystery. To them tl1a immortal pair once actually lived and truly loved, and the flesh and blood of Capulet inhabited that erstwhile mould ering palace" now smouldering ruin, step or two aside from the Piazza della Erbe. And so, because the ''home of Juliet" is burned, the veronese, and
 s'9 pilgrims to the place. are inconsol able.
