oH7eers Of Amalsamated Association
Oppose Tariff Bill.
Washington. March 1S.-Workingmen
employed in the iron and steel trades
view with alarm the Payne tariff bill,
according to a statement issued here
by L. Lewis, vice president, and JOHN
Williams of Pittsburg, secretary-treas-
urer of the Amalgamated Association
of Iren, Steel and Tin Workers of
North America. The statement says:
THE tariff bill presents so many and
drastic reductions in the iron and steel
schedule as to be viewed with alarm
by the wOrkingmen employed in those
industries included in the iron and
steel schedule and other industries de-
pendent thereon. especially at this
time following long period of de-
preston, with hundreds of thousands
of American workmen idle.
'The bill as presented literally hands
them a stone. Employees of American
tin plate mills will strenuOusly oppose
the recommendation in the bill on the
drawback feature as applied to the tin
plate, as they believe they should Sc
cure the work now done in Wales and
imported under the provisions of the
drawback feature"

HUMoR OF THE HOUR

A man just back from the other side
told me this story of Richard Croker
and his horse Orby:
Mr.. Croker takes great delight in
showing his horses to visitors, but he
views with distrust and contempt the
man who looks them over ard says
nothing. He would rather haye them
criticised adversely than passed up
without remark. A stranger came to
Glencairn soon after Orby won the
Derby and asked If he might see the
horses. The old chief was delighted to
oblige. The stranger was well groom
ed and incidentally was an English
man of class. The yearlings were
brought out, but the guest made no
comment. Then the mares were pa
raded. Still he said nothing.
Determined to make the Englishman
talk, Mr.. Croker led him TO the stall of
Orby. The horse was brought out, n
magnificent type of the runner. The
stranger looked him over critically
and then, to the infinite disgust Of the
old man, asked:
How fast can he trot?'-New York

Judge Hart Makes Charge
Today In Murder Trial.
FAIR TO THREE ACCUSED MEN.
Widow of Slain Senator Waits In
Court, Heavily Yelled, Ex-
pecting to Hear the
Verdict.

Nashville, TenE., March 16. - The
to the jury today caused the largest
crowd yet assembled to try to get into
the courthouse for the final scenes of
the trial of Colonel Duncan b. Cooper.
Robin Cooper and John Sharp for the
murder of former United States Sen
ator Edward w. Carmack.
Some of the curious ones were on
the steps as early as o'clock. After
Attorney General McCnrn had closed
for the state Judge Hart made his
charge to the jury. 1t was eminently
fair to the three prisoners.
Mrs. Carmack was in court, heavily
veiled. and she announced her inteD-
tion to remain until the verdict was
reached.
In his closing plea for the cOnvic-
tion of the three prisoners Attorney
General McCarn said:
Senator Carmack was shot in the
back He was shot from behind. The
bullet which came out Of Carmack's s
mouth entered the back. And it is no
more chivalrous to shoot dead man
in the back than to shoot a live one.
That bullet is the only one that ranged
up, two bullets ranging downward.
Now. you shoot a man as he is falling
and the shots do not range upward.
These men are not only assassins of
Carmack, but they are cOwardly assas-
sins of facts.
Counsel tell you that you are not
trying ordinary criminals. that these
are men of distinguished ancestry
Well, when men in pairs hunt another
man. approach him from behind and
kill him, then it's time for some of the
descendants. the tail Of the ancestors
to be cut Off.

HOW 1T FEELS TO FLY.
A First Trip In an Aeroplane With
Wilbur Wriaht.

A First Trip In an AeropIane With
Wilbur Wright.
One Of the adventurous spirits who
have been aloft in Wilbur Wright's
aeroplane describes his sensations as
follows: 81 was wedged into a canvas
covered. straw stuffed seat, mounted
on the center Of the oil bespattered
wing Of the aeroplane, with a wooden
crossbar for my feet to keep me
wedged tightly home. Wilbur Wright
climbed over the wire stays and wood
en- bars that attach the forward rud-
der to the main wings and came
around to his own place on my left.
The familiar signal was given. VIII
bur Wright fastened the two lower
buttons of his jacket, as we had seen
him do many a time before. Then,
climbing into his seat, he pulled his
peaked cloth cap well over his eyes,
leaned forward, hesitated a second to
see that the nan at the wing tip was
ready, released the catch, and we were
off-yes, off. and with such rush
that we seemed TO have been shot
forth from the mouth of a cannon.
Prepared as / was for a quick start,
the terrific impetus staggered me.
But almost before my thoughts had
time to shape themselves definitely It
was over. There was a thud in the
rear-only the wooden bogy, which
had dropped to the ground on reach
ing the end Of the starting rail. No
need to worry about that. and we
were being gently swayed in a calm
atmosphere. We were climbing up
ward moderately fast, to judge by the
way in which the ground was slipping
away underneath. But minute later
even this had stopped, and we were
slowly advancing with a gently un-
dulating motion which made one smile
at the thought that this could end in
disaster.
But how deceiving 1t was. The
sensation suggests that you are being
Graded in the air. You are moving 80
gently that you could not come to any
harm If you fell. There is not much
wind, only gentle breeze-nothing
whatever to disturb you. And reason
insisted: You are travelling at forty
miles an hour. You have got nothing
to support you. Down there. fifty feet
| away, under that purple heather, is
the hard ground waiting to wreck you
and the machine. If the engine stops,
the air, which is now lulling you, will
! turn traitor and let you fall cruelty.

CONSENSUS Of opinion among Chicago
fight critics this week after they had

was clearly outclassed AT all stages.
The punch by Ketchcl which eye

blew which has mown down so many
mlddleweghts was delivered too late
and that Ketchel had lost his steam.
Ketchel's famous shift upon which
he counted so much before the. fight
might just as well have been left at
