ON ITS ATTITUDE TOWARD THE
NATIONAL GUARD
Captain Martin of Tucson ELECTS Pa
triotic Response From Leaders.

Al the time OF the organization Oh
the present National Guard compan-
MES at Tucson, il was asserted that
labor unions were opposed to the en-
listment of their members, owing 10
the frequent employment of state
troops in labor disturbances. In order
that the attitude of the leaders Of
trades unionism might be known, let
tiers We're addressed by Captain An
drew p. Martin, of Company X, Ma
tional Guard of Arizona, to Samuel
Gompers. president of the American
Federation of Labor, and to the heads
of some of the most powerful labor
organizations. The replys are APP

number of the National Guard maya
zine; they are self explanatory:
From Samuel Gompers.
Replying to your favor of the 4th
inst. in which you ask for my opinion
on the relations Of>the militia to labor
l beg to say a man who is a wage
Garner and honorably working at his
trade or calling to support himself
and those dependent upon him, has
not only the right to become a citizen
soldier, but that right must be I'M
questioned.
The militia, /. e, the citizen soldiery
of the United States and the large
standing armies of many European
countries is the difference between a
republic and a monarchy-it is the
difference between the conception Of
liberty and tyranny.
While organized labor stands
against the arbitrament of interna-
tional or internal disputes by force OF
arms, yet we must realize we have
not yet reached the millennium: that in
( the age in which we live we have not
/ the choice between armed force and
absolute disarmament, but the alter
native of large standing army and
small one supplemented by volun-
teer citizen soldiery-the militia of
| our several states.
With this, both wisdom and policy
| as well as principle should warrant
our trade unions in not taking any
cOgniZance of the matter at all, allow
ing each member to follow the bent OF
his own inclinations, insisting only
that he shall be a wage-earner, q
Faithful member of the union, and

Paris. May 21.-The curtain was

laborers voted to resume work. The

of labor then threw up the sponge and
tonight issued a manifesto trying to
cover up their retreat. explaining that

of the success of their second strike.

TAG DAY SALES WERE
VERY ENCOURAGING
~ People Are As Liberal Today as
Yesterday, the Project Wilf Be
Success.

The numerousness of bright faced
boys and girls on the street yesterday,
well stocked with tags in the early
morning. but with depleted supplies
by nightfall. indicated that the first
day OF the tag sale for the sanitary
fountains was a fine success and that
by tonight a sufficient number of tags
will be sold to insure the placing of
all the fountains asked for. OF course
the business opened up brisllly, for II
was a virgin market yesterday, and
this morning things will open up
slower for the youngsters. They are
figuring though on there being lot
of new people in town today, a lot
who don't come in every day, but al
ways on Saturday. And there are a
lot more who are here all the time
and don't show up on the street ex-
cept on Saturdays and Saturday
nights For that reason some of the
hustling statesmen expect to keep up
the good work until after the prom
enade hour on Saturday evening, and
will not check in their full sales until
Monday.
1t was a good natured affair yester-
day on both sides. The children were
some of them very insistent. but 1t is
natural that those who are so, are not
only the best statesmen, but the east
est put off when one really does not
want to buy a tag. But everybody
wants to buy at least one tag and
lots of people buy several. Their
motives are varied. All want to help
get the fountains to the extent Of
one tag and most people feel an in
terest in buying additional ones to
boost some child who is working with
a hope of winning a prize the prizes
ranging from silver dollars to a
bicycle. There are more who will get
no prize than there are who will be
successful, but they still have the
satisfaction that they have done
| something for the town and some
| thing for the schools and that is
really more important than the prizes.
The sales yesterday could not be
checked for the children did not re-
port last night, at least many did not.
| and still have many of their tags al
hand, but by questioning those who
were met on the street it can be pre-
dicted that the project will be sue
cessful If the people found today are
as liberal as those the children met
yesterday.

Efforts to Suppress Great Catholic
Daily Paper.

The Congregation Of the Assumption
ist Fathers was suppressed by the
French government on March 6. 1900.
The newspaper. La CroiX." conduct
ed by them was then sold to Mr.. Paul
Feron- Vrau of Lille, for 100000 francs.
over a year later, July 1, 1901, the law
confscatfng the property of religious
orders was promulgated. Could any
one have imagined that the officials of
the government would succeed in con-
vfncing the courts that Feron-Vrau had
no title to the property, but that it
must be handed over to the state? Yet
that is what has happened. A Paris
tribunal has even refused permission TO
the director to prove that he owns the
publication.
The case. says the Messenger, will be
taken to a higher court. The French
newspapers even some non-Cathollc:
are emphatic in their condemnation of

FAMOUS PAINTINGS.
New Vatican Gallery Open This
Month Will Exhibit Unsurpassed
Collection to the World.

For several years work has been in
progress on the new art gallery in the
Vatican. the old being no longer equal
to the task of housing the rare treas
ures. On March Is, the new gallery
will be opened to the world, and will
afford art lovers a veritable revelation.
The old Vatican gallery contained
sixty pictures, but the new collection
embraces not less than 300 canvases,
displayed in seven beautiful halls open
ing on the magnificent Belvedere court.
Above each door is a golden inscrip-
ton destined to remind posterity that
the installation of this new gallery is
due to the initiative of the present
Pope. The additional pictures have
been brought from the Lateran palace
and the private apartments of the Vat
lean.
The first hall contains a unique col
lection of Byzantine pictures; the sec
ond is given over to the Tuscan school,
headed by Fra Angelica, the third by
Fra Angelica: the third contains exam
pies of the Umbrian school; in the
fourth is the gem of the collection, Ra-
nhael's TRANSPORTATION" which hangs
alone on the main wall; the fifth hall
is given over to the Venetian school,
headed by Titan the sixth to exam
ples of the sixth century. and the sew

The fact that Charles b. Hanford has,
from the outset of his brilliant career,
been a thorough and consistent eX-

tradition take the place of mOndern
enterprise in the presentation of his
productions. Yet in all his study to
utilize the opportunities which this
opulent period in stage history place.
within reach of the actor and mana

the serious and legitimate side of his
art. One of the roles in which Hanford
gained most applause was that Of

ELY, NEW.
Impressive Funeral.

The funeral of Anna Reipe took place
yesterday and was one of the largest
ever witnessed in Ely. The remains
were taken from the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Magnuson to the Sacred Heart
church, where the impressive funeral
services of the Catholic church were
conducted. From the church the funer-
al cortege proceeded to the Ely ceme-
terry. The procession was led by Fran
ces Peters. Clara Mcdonald. Minnie
Curtis, Pauline Meloy. Frances and
Dorothy Meyers, schOolmates of the de-
ceased. The pallbearers were Fred
Bragg, Roy Mcdonald, Lloyd Meyers
and Earl Gendron. Following the
hearse came a long string of carriages
and also three large buses. carrying the
smaller pupils of the Ely public school.
At the cemetery the final services of the
church were performed. and it is safe
to say there was not a person there
whose eyes were not moist when the
coffin containing all that was mortal of
little Anna Riepe was lowered into its
last resting place.
The ladies of the Altar society of the
Catholic church gave a dance last night
which will be remembered as one of the
most pleasant affairs of it's kind ever
held in the district.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather, the dance was exceptional
ly well attended showing that the dane
ing public knew that a ball of unusual
merit was to be given. The music was
furnished by the best talent to be Sc
cured and the floor was in such condf-
ton that it was impossible to have 9TH

The ladies of the church also served
a supper at st. Lawrence hall which
has never been surpassed in Ely. There
was dozen different kinds of salad,
cold meats of every description and
cakes such as one seldom sees outside
of the larger cities. Among the latter
was a large piece of pastry decorated
with genuine shamrocks and bearing
an Irish phrase, which meant "a thou

The hall in which the supper was
served was beautifully decorated with
flags, flowers and emblems commence

noticeable decorations was a green flag.

Planning to Fine the Bachelors.

Not content with regulating the thirst
of it's citizens, Maine now has under
consideration-said to be serious-a
plan for coercing it's willful celibates
into marriage, or, if not quite that at
least for making them pay an annual
tax to be used as a fund from which to
pension those whose celibacy is reluc-
tant. The proposition, as formulated
in bill introduced by a Maine states
man, is to extort $40 year from every
bachelor over 80 years of age who can
not prove that he has offered marriage
to three women or to one woman three
times, and the money thus raised is to
be divided among the spinsters who
have never received even one proposal
from a fairly eligible sutton.
This scheme is to be commended in
that it admits the possibility that some
women, as we'll as some men, remain
unmarried from preference, not compul
sion, but in these days, when there is
so much talk about equal responsible
ties as well as equal rights for both
sexes, it is hard to see why the women
who avoid the matrimonial yoke should
not be fined as heavily as the men
guilty of the same incivism. 1t would
be only justice, if the voluntary bach
elors are to contribute to the support of
the Involuntary SplnSterS, that the OBJ
legation should be reversed and the vol
untary spinsters contribute to the sup
port of the involuntary bachelors
And there will be trouble when it
comes to deciding on claims for exemp-
lions and pensions. BY what standards,
for instance. is the eligibility of suitors
to be decided? Why any woman mar
ries any man is usually a, dark mystery
to the acquaintance of both. and rea-
sons for rejection in any given case
might be even harder to discover. Our
own impression is that the plan will
not work. The economists try to make
out that there is relation between the
number of marriages and the state of
what is called the times,' and the sta
tistics seem to bear out their theory, but
the relation. if it exist is a vague and
indirect one, and the heed given to it
must be purely subconscious in the vast
majority OF cases.
Perhaps it would be safe enough to
pass the law, however for every I'M
married man could swear to anywhere
from a dozen to twenty true and holy
passions that came to nothing, much
against his viii. and of course there
never was a woman who would go into
court and testify that she never had an
offer.-New York Times.
