MITCHELL CANNOT
ADDRESS UNIONS
Famous Labor Leader Will
Not Speak in Richmond
This Year.
WILSON Is SUBSTITUTED.
PRESIDENT OF PATTERN MAX
ERS' UNION WILL GIVE PRINcl-
PAL ADDRESS-LABoR PARADE
TO BE DONE AWAY WITH.

The local committee of union men
appointed to prepare a program for
the celebration of Labor Day in this
city have received word from John
Mitchell. former president of the Inter
national Union of Mine Workers,
and President Roosevelt's vclosest ad
wiser on labor questions. that it will
be impossible for him to speak in this
city on that date because of prior en-
gagements.
1t was recently reported that the To-
cal labor unions would make no effort
to observe Labor Day, but this report
is incorrect. The committee in
charge of this work have arranged for
a public meeting at Glen Miller and a
band concert by the local union band.
The public meeting will be addressed
by General President Wilson of the
Pattern Makers Union, who makes
his headquarters at Cincinnati. Mr.
Wilson is said to be an excellent
speaker and it is expected that his
remarks will be heard by a large
crowd. 1t is understood that there
will be large delegations of union men
from surrounding towns and cities
attend this meeting. After Mr.. Will
sons address there will be a band
concert given by the Union Musical
organization.
There will be no labor union pa
rade this year as was originally
planned, as it is not thought that this
plan would be feasible. However the
labor union men will turn out in force
at the public meeting which yill be
held at the park. Laboring men are
urged by the program committee to
picnic with their families at the park
on Labor Day.

HIS DREAMS BRING
FARMER $4,000
Sees Churn Which He Makes
and Sells.

Sullivan, Ind, July 25.-Willis Pratt,
a farmer living near Farmersburg, is
today $4,000 richer than yesterday.
owing to an invention which he pic
tured in a dream. Some time ago
Pratt dreamed three nights in success
sion about the construction of an i'm
proved churn. The construction of it
differed SO radically from churns now
in use, that he set to work and mod
eled one after the one he had pictured
in his dreams.
AS soon as the model was completed
he obtained patent and began manu-
featuring churns on a small scale at
his home. Various patent journals
published announcements describing
the invention in full. Last week a
churn company of Chicago asked
Pratt to place price on his invention.
which he did, putting the figure so
high that he had little hope of the
company accepting it. Contrary to his
expectations he received a reply that
the company would accept the offer
and that it would send representa-
tive Immediately to close the deal.

DRIVE BOAT UP
RAGING RAPIDS
Unusual Feat Accomplished on
st. Lawrence River.

Dover, Del, July 25.-Harry Boyer
of Dover, who made a trip with three
other men to the Thousand Islands
in Senator Harry A. Richardson's nap
tina launch, Priscilla, last week, return

compHshed by the crew of the launch,
who navigated the boat up the rapids
of the st. Lawrence river, distance
of three and one-half miles. with an
ascent of sixty-nine feet, in thirty-five
minutes, without mishap.
When the crew left Cornwall, Ont,
they found that the trip to Frontenac
would have to be made by way of the
rapids or by going nearly 200 miles
out of the way on account of the clos
ing of a canal. They declared they
would run the rapids, although no
boat such as the Priscilla ever had
done 1t. The boat was fifty-five feet
long, with 100 horse power engine.
1t was manned by H. L. Guerensy,
George Flemming, E. T. Heite and S.
H. Boyer, the last two of Dover.

Berlin, July 25.-The veil which has
for ages been the duty of Turkish
women to wear, has been torn away
in the wreck of the old regime. and.
today, according to dispatches receiv-
ed from Turkey, thousands of unveiled
women are parading the streets, re-
joicing in their new-found freedom.
This innovation is being welcomed
by the men. who cheer the unveiled
women at every opportunity. On ev-
cry hand the smiling faces of women
are seen, instead of the somber wells
that hid them.
Result of Political UpheavaI.
The most remarkable feature Of the
political upheaval in Turkey which
has just resulted in the granting of a
constitution by the Sultan. has been
the freeing of thousands Of women,
who emerged from the privacy of har-
ems, tore off their wells and marched
bravely through the streets.
The first women to abandon their
wells were those at Monastir. the
hotbed of the revolution. The COM
mand of the Koran that women should
appear yelled in public was Cancelled
by a Moslem priest. who issued his
proclamation from the mosque.
I'VE will help to make the world
beautiful by this act" he declared.
Many remarkable scenes greeted the
radical change, but without exception
the innovation is approved.
The Old Turkey.
Up to the present day Turkss -has
been a 'theocratic absolute monar-
chy" subject to the direct personal
control of the Sultan, who has been
at once temporal autocrat and recog
nized successor of the prophet and
consequently spiritual head of the
Moslem world. This theocratic abso
luton has been tempered not only by
traditional usage, local privileges. the
judicial and spiritual prece pts of the
Koran and the privy council. but also
by the growing force of public opinion
and the direct and indirect pressure
of the powers of Europe.
