names OF candidates considered most
worthy Of workngmen's support in
this state. met last night and heard
an address by Hugh Frayne, American
Federation organizer. in which he ex-
pressed his belief In the great possi-
Utilities OF the movement and urged
that It be pursued with vigor. The
committee also again held a lengthy
conference with Alfred o. Crozier.
Whatever was the result of the confer
ence last night IL was important
enough evidently to actuate the call for

be one Of the speakers TO the Central

That az present at least union men
here are not contemplating a division
from their Republican and Democratic

NEGLIGEE
DISTRACTS PASTOR

ST. LOUIS, Aug 20.-The hot wealth

ligee costume has caused the Rev. c.
A. Lincoln, assistant pastor Of the
Pilgrim Congregational Church, 10
abandon making pastoral calls in the
summer time He too often arrives
when the fair members Of his flock are
in that flowing, loose, how-cool Lean
raiment which adds to the charm of a
pretty woman, and, as consequence
finds II difficult 20 attend properly to
his duties.
rho Rev Mr.. Lincoln declares that
too often. while making his calls. he is
forced to wait in the parlor holding
his hands, while his hostesses array
themselves, that is, those who do not
appear in the fascinating negligee
which they affect on the insunerably
hot days.
II do not care 10 interrupt a satisfy
ing siesta," said the Rev. Mr. Lincoln.
"Hence-I tried to choose a later after
noon hour. But even then I found that
either had to wait too long or put
my hostess TO the necessity Of appear
ing in her negligee. I have no obiec-
ton 10 this cool raiment you under
stand, but ] know the ladies do not
like TO appear in a minister's presence

calls on the women members and de-

WORK BEGUN TO
INSTALL NEWTRAPS
They Will Prevent Sewerage
OdOrS From Rising to
Street Surface

Employees. Of the Street and Sewer De-
partment began work this morning to in
stall new inlet traps TO the sewers at
Fourth and Poplar streets and when the
work is finished the disagreeable odors
that have been so noticeable during the
warm weather will practically obliter-
ated When the rest Of the traps are in
stalled at Third and shipley, the De-
partment is Of the opinion that all or
the odors will be totally destroyed.
Three traps are TO be put In at Fourth
and Poplar streets and the work will be
completed in few days. The traps are
so constructed as TO prevent the sewer
age from flowing back In the pipes.
The traps will always hold a quantity
Of water and the smell will be kept con-
fined to the pipes beyond the traps and
not rise TO the surface as has been the
case for many weeks past
At Third and Shipley streets the pipes
are laid IN such a way that Il will
necessitate the making Of specially de-
signed traps, so that the work of INSTALL
ing them at that point will not be done
for at least a week or so.
This action on the part Of the Street
and Sewer Department which was taken
because of the large number OF COM
plants that have been made at the
Board of Health Department by resi-
dents near these streets and particularly
by the business men who have offices
near by is welcome piece OF news and
the long suffering individuals who have
had to keep windows down on stimihg
days because of the nauseating odor
arising from the sewers will be able to
get breath Of fresh air when the work
IS finished.

dressed to me by you during the past
few weeks.

sent from my Office / was confined TO

rheumatism, and wholly unable to att
tend to any Of my business affairs This

yours, and had you made the slight
est inquiry, there would have been no
necessity for making a statement such
as you have. Under the circum-
stances cannot imagine where you
obtained your reasons for believing
what you say you do. Until the last
two or three days I have not even
dictated a letter ~ any matter what
ever From what I had heard of YOU
had reason TO expect something more
than such a manifest mis-statement.
There is no desire on my part to con-
ceal my attitude upon public questions
In the first place, am a Republi-
can. and If the convention which meets
at Dover next Tuesday. should see Mt
to nominate me as it's Congressional
candidate. will feel bound by the plat
form which that convention adopts as
a declaration of it's principles. II 1

pies I would not accept the nominaa,
ton The Republican party for many
campaigns past has had a plank deal
ing with the question n which you arc
interested. and the party at large has
uniformly accepted those declarations.
There will undoubtedly, be a similar
plank in the platform adopted by the
next Republican convention, and il
that declaration upon the part of the
Republican party should meet with the
approval of those people whom y0u
represent, and I believe It should, no
one win be more sincere in its support
than myself.
Very truly yours,

INTERPRETATION OF RULES

Owing to the unprecedented Interest

eral Questions have arisen and are be-
ing discussed by politicians of both
parties which have never before been
raised and discussed.
