a Long Dance.

The longest dance on record Is prob
ably that Of William Kemp, an actor
Of some celebrity in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth. He was a comedian and
danced all the way from London to
Norwich.
He was attended by 4 tahorer, .
servant and an overseer, and 1t was
doubtless q good thing for him that
there were no Omnibuses Oh police then,
for they would probably have imposed
more impediments in the way Of his
progress than did the country people.
He started with several presents Of
greats and crooked sixpences for luck.
and, laden with these, he danced to
Stratford with out rest.
Subsequently he went In for early
rising to avoid market people. and.
though suffering from a sprain of the
hip which he received, he danced 1t
web again. to the delight OF the crowd
which accompanied him, some 200 In
number.
; When he reached Norwich he had to
dance In and out Of the city twice.
for his overseer missed him In the
crowd and mnde him do the distance
over again to avoid any possibility Of
error.-London Graphic.

PRESIDENT ooMPERs CRITICS.
ED SOCIALISTS "REp SPECIAL"
SAMUEL eoMPERs.

DENVER, Nov. 20.-The American
Federation of Labor convention was
again torn with dissensions yesterday
and charges and countercharges few
thick and fast between President
Gompers and the leaders Of the So
cialist element. Max Hayes, OF Cleye-
land. and j. Mahlon Barnes; OF Chi
cago.
a heated debate was brought about
by the report of the committee on the
presidents report, which recommend
ed that the Federationist be endorsed
as the official organ.
Delegate Barnes opposed the recon-
mendation and bitterly attacked
Gompers. claiming that he. as editor
of the Federationist, had charged the
Socialist party with having accepted
money for the famous red special OF
Debs from the Republican party.
Barnes wanted a committee to go
TO Chicago and audit the books OF the
Socialist party TO ascertain the truth
or falsity OF the charges.
President Gompers took the floor
and resented the attacks on him. He
charged Debs, Barnes and Hays with
trying 10 throw odium on the labor
movement, and denied that he had
made charges that the funds for the
red special had come from improp-
er sources.
He then remarked that he thought 1t
was peculiar that a party in debt like
the Socialists should hire train at
cost of $4,000 TO do campaign work.
Gompers charged Hayes with hav-
ing put into the Cleveland Citizen the
most unjust labor sentiments ever put
into print. He charged Debs with hav-
ing given printing contracts to "scab"
shops.
That part of the committees report
which recommended that members OF
the executive council who do not
agree with the councils political pol
icy should resign, was adopted. This
is considered direct slap at Daniel J.
Keefe, of the Longshoremen, who
came out for Taft
