SAMUEL GoMPERs is So
Head of Greatest Labor Organization
in the World.

In the World.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Fifty-
eight years ago today, in London.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, first
saw the light of day. AS a head of
the greatest organization of work
ingmen in the world, he is now an
international figure, and the recipient
of congratulations, not only from
other labor leaders, but from men
high in the world of commerce, lit
erature and government. Recent
attacks made upon his character and
methods have served only to aug
ment the respect in which he is
held by millions of his fellow cit
liens.
Gompers was born in London, Jan.
uary 81, 1850, the son of a cigar
maker. He attended school for foul
years, and this was the extent of hii
formal education, with the exception
of few terms at a night schoo
while working in his fathers cigal
shop.
At the age af Is Gompers cam'
to America, settled in New YOrl
City, and in time became a natural
lied citizen of the United States

lROQUOIS IN HASTE
TO BRING BACK THE
MIDWAY MARINES
Men, Stores, Munitions, and Guns Are to Be
Withdrawn Complement of Chief Petty
Officers for the roquois.

The naval outpost at Midway is to
be abandoned. Men. munitions, stores
sae1d guns are TO be taken away at
once. and the Iroquois is preparing in
haste TO go there for that purpose
Midway is one of the farthest out
posts OF the United States in the Pa
cif1c. until the ocean il crossed, and
the Philippines are reached. Pre-
sumahly it would be one of the first
points Of contact with an AsIatic
enemy al war with the United States.
The withdrawal Of the marines from
there may be considered by some as a
drawing in Of the most exposed point
Orders were received yesterday
morning at the Naval Station direct
ing that the Iroquois be got ready as
soon as possible and proceed at once
TO Midway and bring back the marine
guard there, their stores, their muni-
tons and their guns. Evidently the
order TO go as soon as possible was
taken as indicating that expedition
was desired. for the work of prepara-
8ien began at once and is being car
RED on with despatch. The work of
preparation included putting the Iro-
uuois on the marine railway, for it is
eleven months since she was in dry
dock. Admiral Very says, and eleven
months OF inaction in these tropical
waters has grown sea moss on her bot
tom eighteen inches long in many
places. She went on the marine rail-
way Yesterday afternoon and her crew
were set vigorously at work scraping
her bottom. The work was kept up
much later than the usual hours Of
la hor in the navy under ordinary con-
ditfons. for not only must, the bottom
Of the vessel be scraped and scrubbed
clean. but she must have two coats
of naint. one an anti-corrosiEe paint
and the other an anti-fouling paint.
The Iraouofs has a crew Of thirty
men. but she can accommodate much
larger number than that. The marines
at the Midway station number twenty,
50 she is being provisioned for fifty
lmen for a period Of about month,
.rq,n down 10 Midway and about the
same hack.
In this connection it Is reported from
the Coast that the Thomas is bringing
a full set of chief petty officers for
rf1e Iroquois. a chief naster-at-arraas,
a chief boatswain. and other chief
petty officers, which she has not car

icles extensively used inelectrical work
and for which there is large demand.
The metal is now imported and pays
tariff duty of As per cent, while the
raw material pays but 10 per cent,
thus affording good profit, and there
is but one other plant in the country
turning out this material. The COM
pany is capitalized at $4,000 The in
corporators are Frank S, Reigert, Will

all connected with large electrical in
situations or railroads, and practical
men. The plant will be started up in
short time and will employ about

Everybody will be pleased to know

Observation-Disclosures
Heard and Seen About the Green

.
A broken harness and shafts must
be the customary thing for one visitor
to the town from the country if the
little scene witnessed one day last
week is a criterion. A gray horse
hitched to a buggy was tied to one of
the posts near the post office. The
horse became drowsy, nodded his head
few times and then gave way to
sleep, sinking down to the ground and
breaking his bride and the buggy
shafts. A policeman hurried up,
helped the horse to his feet, tied him
securely to the post again, backed the
broken buggy few feet away and
then resumed his beat. The owner of
the buggy came out Of a store soon,
walked up to his broken rig and sur
veyed it calmly and then extracting
ball of Irvine from the rear of the bug
gy tied up the fractured shafts and
mended the bride, got in and drove
away. And he never said word to
any of the bystanders as to the cause
of the breakage.
A speedy little mare which attracts
lot of attention about town is Patrol
man William G.. Meslar's Mabelle.
The officer spends all his time off duty
driving the mare and he is justly
proud of her. He purchased her two
years ago when she was a colt from
the Olcott's in Bernardsville and she
is of good stock for her sire was Lord
Elvin.
A Mortistown matron visited a
