OBJECTS TO THE BASS SINGER.

But with the bass singer it is diff. ferent. Here we have normal man. entirely sound in mind, who yet bel lows like bull of Bashan. He stands up, he clears his throat, he throws back his head and his Adams apple begins to tremble. At once there is. sues from his glottis long. sinuous snake of sound It goes down, down, down. down--a mad tumble of hoots. whoops and howls-leaving civiliza- tion and the diatonic scale behind it and entering the undiscovered coun Try of the ultraviolet tones. Beside it the ultimate grunt of a bullnddle seems like the shrill scream of a pic colo. and the neither blast of B flat ophicleide like an oboe's jumping-off note. lt shakes the building and clouds the heavens lt makes strong men quake with fear and brings sor row to the home. And all the while the hasso profundo is sane man, who knows what he is doing. For him we urge the knout Let him be dragged to the courthouse square and nogged. Let him taste the bastinado.

PROTEST BY MINERS
THE INDIANAPOLIS CONVENTION ADOPTS RESOLUTIONS ON RE
 CENT CONTEMPT DECISION.
FEDERAL JUDGE WRIGHT IS DENOUNCED
He Language In Sentencing 0ompers and Mitchell Declared Unparalleled In Judicial Proccedinss-Wsnt Con. eress to Pass Laws Changing Pro. cedure in Contempt Cases.

Indianapolis. Jan. 2s.--The Mitchell. Gompers-Morrison case, carrying a jail sentence In the Bucks Stove company injunction, WAS considered Wednes' day by the Miners convention. Speeches were made by Congressman Wilson and Nichols, President Lewis and others. A resolution on the in junction matter, which caussd the speeches is as follows:
 The United Mine Workers of Amer ica most emphatically and unrsseryed- ly protest against the sentences and threatened Imprisonment of Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison. officers of the American Federation of Labor
 The action of Justice Wright in these cases can never be accepted with any degree of justification by the Mine Workers of America. We main tain that there was no violation of the law of the land by our fellow workmen: and that all their acts com. plained of were strictly within the rights ax guaranteed to every citizen of this country by our constitution and organic law. We hold that the Sher- man antitrust law was never intend cd by congress to apply to labor unions and the construction placed thereon by the federal courts is de structive of the usefulness and only power of organized labor for It's pro tection and advancement
 We further protest against the un called for and extreme bitterness oi the arraignment of the defendants by Justice Wright as unparalleled in ju dicial proceedings in the courts of our land We regard his action as a di rect blow against our individual liberties as workmen and against our labor unions. We condemn the pen alties imposed as unjust, unreasonable and shockingly excessive
 Notwithstanding Justice Wright's denunciatory opinion we maintain that the trade unions have been and are based on loyalty to the laws of our country. and we are now as we have been in the past determined to resent any encroaehments on our rights as guaranteed by the constitution of our republic
 We demand of congress a speedy enactment of law commenting fed eral courts to change their procedure in contempt and injunction cases so that notice shall be served on defend ants in labor disputes and jury trial afforded before punishment inflicted.
 We also demand that all cases of contempt shall be heard and deter mined by a judge. other than the one Issuing the writ, except when com mitted In the presence of hearing Of the court. We maintain that the labor organizations are for the betterment of the workmen and that the men have constitutional right to assemble 10. gether in peaceable manner 10 con suit and take action for their common good"

skYscRAPERs IN oLpEN TIMES,
Roman Law Prohibited Buildings More
 Than 100 Feet High.

"The skyscraper is no modern In. vention," says St. Louis architect, well read in the history of his profes sion.
 'In all the ancient cities where brick or stone was available, high houses. within the walls of the city, were very numerous. because of the lack of ground space for building. In the. days of Augustus the tenement houses in Rome became SO high as to be dangerous. and laws were passed condemning a number of tenement rows and ordering them to be taken down. while at the same time law was enacted limiting the height of all future tenements to 100 feet. For palaces and public buildings there was no limit. After the burning of the city In Nero's time the streets. which before were no wider than our alleys, were made broader: some of them. through the business part of the city were 40 feet wide. and some of the great thoroughfares were SO. The tenement height was lowered to so feet, and, as a consequence. the city spread far beyond its walls The average height of a ceiling in a Roman tenement was little over five feet the windows were open holes in the wall. stopped in cold weather with board shutters. So. by comparison the worst modern tenement is a pal Ice compared with the skyscrapei home of the poo' when the empire Eas si it's hest"

MENA WAS LUCKY
 IN THIS BLAZE
McAtee's Big Carriage Shed Makes a Hot Fire ard Only Distance From Other Buildings Saved
 Costly Conflagration.

About II o'clock last Friday an alarm of fire startled the citi- gems of Meua, and within a few moments J. w. McAtee's big carnage shed on Ward creek east of Fourth street was but a mass of blazing embers. With the shed MT. McAtee's big yellow wagonette, which he valued al S305, was burned.
 Mrs. George B. Dennis probab- ly was the first to discover the fire and called Mir. McAtee's at tention to it. He ran as quickly as possible to try and save sur rey and the wagonette. which were in the shed. The former was gotton out, and MT. Nc Atee's efforts to save the latter came near resulting seriously tt him, as his clothing and hail caught fire and 1t was only b. quick work in stripping some oi his clothing off that he saved himself. His hands were blistered.
 Mr. McAtee says he had no been at the shed during ths morning and has no idea how the blaze started. It cost 5000 ano was insured for $500. There wat 10 insurance on the vehicles.
 The high wind prevailing a the time the alarm was sounded caused quick realization of the danger should blaze get startec iu any building in close proximi- ty 10 others, and nearly every one down town lett his work aud rushed out to see where the fir. was. It was great relief to all to find that it was in an isolated structure aud, therefore, not like y to cause confiagration that would do great damage.
 As an illustration of the carry. ing power of the wind, sparks from the fire set tree on fire al the electric light plant, four blocks away, and also fired trasa in two places at the ice plant, all of which were hastily extinguish- ed by watchful parties.
 The fire department YVES prompt in getting to the scene, and had any danger threatened there would have been plenty oi water and hundreds of willing workers at hand to do their Ut. most to stop it.

NORWOOD TOUCHED
 OFF THE FIREWORKS
Introduced the Resolution That Result cd in Placing Arkansas Convicts Again iu Hands of Stste-Get-
 ting Settled ia New Home.

In letter of recent date to friends, our former towpsmeu, Hall Norwood, now attorney general of Arkansas, speaks ou a subject of state wide interest. It will be seen that Mr. Norwood h ad the honor of insugurating the step that once again gave Arkan- sas full control of its convicts, and probably in the end enable the administration 10 get rid oi the convict lease system forever and carry out Governor Dona- ghey's plans to use the prisoners in building state roads.
 The Star takes the liberty of printing a portion of the letter. as follows:
 You have observed, no doubt, that for the first time in thirty-five years, the state is in absolute con- trol of all its convicts. How to get possession of them and how to abolish the lease system has been a great issue in this state. Resolu- tions have from time to time been introduced in the board meetings; suits have been brought for the possession sf the conviccs in the past, and at practically every ses- sion of the legislature bills have been introduced that would enable the state to regain control absolute ly of the convicts, but in each and every instance the state lost out.
 You will observe that the evening 1 was sworn in, and within thirty minutes after Donaghey finished his inaugural address, the peniten- tiary board held a meeting and l introduced a resolution instructing the superintendent to take posses sion If the convicts, which was adopted unanimously. You are familiar with the proceedings in the courts inee that time to regain pos session of them by thebrick company.
 The superintendent of the peni- tentiary carried out the orders of the board to the letter. He IS now charged with contempt of court. l shall file response for him Thurs day morning. and shall also file an answer to the original complaint upon which the injunction was is- sued. The brick company now asks for mandatory injunction compel- ing the return of the convicts.
 l have been very busy trying to get ready to keep house. We live in a good neighborhood and have had plenty to eat up to date. Mrs. A. Q. Nash sent us some soup, butter, cake and other nice things for day or two, and another neighbor sent us nice chicken Saturday. So you see we are doing fine. We are get ting very anxious to see somebody from Mena. l wish you would come over. or send somebody to see us. l am. Always your friend,
 Hal L. Norwood.
