CEMETERY HISBED.
SHORES FOR WAGER
Men Who Watched ST. Louis
Sleeper More Frightened
Than tie

ST. LOUIS. No. May 2i.-winiam
Rampenthal, who lives in Alton. the
Western Parthenon of surprises, slept all
night in lonely cemetery. between two
graves, and said the marble headstone as
a pillow was lust like cradle to a
baby"
incidentally, he won 50 bet from DR..
c. n. Pence, who is a student Of psychol-
ogy. but who admits his data in the latest
experiment have been rather expensive
They were discussing the case OF a girl
who was made the butt Of a ghost scare
and as result was frightened into hys-
terra.
Rampenthal said he couldn't understand
it at all that he sooner would sleep in a
cemetery than in some st. Louis hote's:
it was cheaper and besides. he always
liked open-air life anyway.
The bet was made and in the lonely
watches Of the night the physician and
Rampenthal drove out to an old burying-
ground
Pickets we're stationed near the grave
where Rampenthal lay to see that he
didn't run away Soon ghost-lnSe noises
began to be heard from Rampenthals di-
rection. The pickets shuddered at the
eerie sound, until there came a louder
noise, much like that produced by a buzz
saw in an Arkansas planning mill during
food time the Wolf river
"Geel he's snoring" whispered one OF
the pickets. Rampenthal was stil snor-
ing a somnolent salute to the sunrise wher
Doctor Pence, who had slept hardly at all
drove out to see IL he won or lost.
II took fully three minutes TO wake ur
Rampenthal sufficiently for him to ac-
cept the s. stake money

SEARCHING FOR NEW PRODUCTS.

OUTSIDE of mere diplomatic duties the rep
~ rcsentatives of this country abroad have
opportunities to be Of service in many ways
such as investigating products of the soil and
sea food and like matters. Mr.. Knowles lately
minister to Roumania, according to the reports
of the departments at Washington, has been par
ticulary active in this respect, and his efforts
will result in something beneficial to this coun-
Nry, especially of this region. The Agricultural
department through him has become interested
ia form of watermelon that grows in Rou-
mapia. Experiments are making to see If il will
be possible to grow the luscious Roumanian veg
etable in this country. Some of the seed will
be planted in Delaware. Reports from places
where these seeds have been cultivated tell of
gratifying results.
1t is probable that Delaware will become a
producer of this kind of watermelon and new
field of enterprise will be opened TO our farm
ers. The melons are small, but fine. Instead
of being served in slices, as our preesnt water
melons, each melon is served as a whole being
small enough for that purpose
The Fish Department at Washington is also
interested in the propagation in our waters OF
the famous sturgeon Of the Danube, and If these
fish are found TO flourish in American rivers the
sturgeon industry will be revived in the Della
wareware and other waters of this neghborhood.

AS we said yesterday the friends of Mr.. Wash
ington Hastings have suggested to him to apply
for the position of the Office of postmaster Of
this city, and he has been considering the mat
ter for a day or so. Mr. Hastings has concluded
not to make application for the place One
reason for his decision is that there are already
three candidates in the field and in the opinion
of Mr. Hastings he himself would make one too
many. Furthermore he thinks that he has been
in this lmelight of publicity recently quite
enough. Mr.. Hastings, therefore, is out of the
field.

CAPITAL AND LABOR.

THE National Manufacturers Association
- held happy meeting in New York the
other day. They showed their high esteem Of
the aggressive Mr. Van Ceave the president of
the association, by making him several presents
including one gift of $4,000. In fact. Mr.. Van
Cleave was rather idozed From their point of
view the. manufacturers have every reason TO be
satished. lhey have made progress in opposing
the closed shop. They have prevented any
really hostile legislation against their interests .
they have won several fights in the courts and,
according to their reports, they have checked the
growth OF the unions and their influence
Indeed, from their point of view they have no
cause to complain They are the direct beneh-
claries of'a high tariff Their export trade has
largely increased and they getting their
share of the wealth of the country.
Mr. Van Ceave in his address was partcu-
lary strong in speaking of the war against the
labor unions Perhaps it was that which won
the hearts of his fellow members of the Associa-
ton although some of them did protest against
his attitude. II the manufacturers could knock
out the unions dsorganize the working people
and at the same time continue their own strong
association they would be able to exploit the
consumers by trusts and other methods and they
Would be able TO exploit the mass Of working
people without encountering union opposition
Theirs indeed, would be a happy lot
But we fancy that Mr.. Van Cleave will not
hnd 1t so easy to attain this end-to break up
the unions and to have everything his own way.
If Mr.. Van Cleave has read economic history as
doubtless he has, he will find that the solidarity
of capital on one side is followed by the uniting
of labor on the other side, and that organza-
tions are inevitable Mr.. Van Cleave may be
pleased with the present outlook, but suppose
some day the masses really rise and express
themselves solidly at the ballot box as they do
in some OF the old countries What then?

some hours to a delegation from a Western city
which wanted the clock to be turned back for
two hours so that people could begin work ear

some OF the "daylight''-thc afternoon-for rec

CHICAGO WILL HAVE
WORLDS LARGEST HALL

Chicago. The largest conven-
tlon hall in the country, three times
larger than Madison Square Garden
| in New York, and four times the size
of the Chicago Coliseum, has been
planned for Chicago, according to an
nouncement made yesterday by Har-
low N. Hignbotham.
The building will be elliptical in
form and with slight notifications
will be a reproduction of the histo-
rlcal Flavian amphitheater in Rome.
The building will be known as the
amphitheater and will have a seat
ing capacity, exclusive of the arena,
OF $4,000. Including the arena space
there will be room for seating more
than $4,000 persons.
The amphtheater, according to
present plans, will be 500 feet long,
$40 wide and 100 feet high. It's
length will be practically the same
as that of the noted Roman amphi-
theater. 1t will be of steel and ce-
ment construction, and will have an
exhibit space Of more than 100000
square feet Five tiers of seats will
surround the area.
The cost of the site and building
will be $3,000,000, the outlay for
ground alone to be 100000.

TO CLARK NELSON

Cook & Perry's book, stationery and
notion store, the largest of its kind In
this city, has changed hands, the new
proprietor being Clarke Nelson one OF
the best known of the younger resi-
dents Of the city. The store is now
closed to take invoice and when II
opens again, probably July 1 or 2, 1t
will be under the new management.
Nelson is one Of the popular young
men of the city. He has served the
county at several different times as
deputy clerk and in other capacities
and has been a member Of the baseball
team for several seasons.
The new proprietor intends to build
up and enlarge the business and as
soon as possible will add several new
lines and departments. The first OF
these will be an art department, the
need for which has been realized for
some time.
Messrs Cook and Perry are as yet
as to what they will do in
future but both will undoubtedly con-
tinue to make Pendleton their home.
