SLASHES HIS THROAT
BECAUSE OF WORRY.
Out of Work, John Martin Tries
to Die.

Despondent because of his inability
TO get employment, John Martin, aged
% years. attempted suicide yesterday
at = p. m. by slashing his throat with
a razor, and is now In st. Michaels
Hospital in a critical condition, Mar.
tin lives at S17 Jersey street, Harri-
son.
Entering his room yesterday after
noon he procured a razor, and soon
afterward was discovered with an ugly
cash in his throat. He was in a state
of collapse from loss of blood when
the hospital was reached, but a NASTY
examination by the surgeons showed
that the wounds he a inflicted were
not very deep and because OF the
prompt treatment rendered him it is
believed that he has a chance of re-
covery.

OUR CHILDREN' CORNER
AN OLD-TIME SCHOOL.

.T ONG ago, when New York was
H. New Amsterdam, schools were
very different from those to
which New York children of the pres
ent day are accustomed. A New York
boy of today would hardly know that
he was in a school at all if he were to
find himself in an old Dutch school
such as the children of the first set
tiers of Manhattan attended.
Perhaps the %strangest thing about
those old schools was the teacher. who
instead of being a brisk young woman,
or an alert young man. as Is usually
the case nowadays, was hen much
more apt to be a rather old man with
a very long beard long hair, and n
very solemn face, indeed. He wore his
hat in the house and this hat was an
immense broad -brimmed affair; he
wore a long black gown or cloak, which
covered him completely. The boys also
wore their hats in the house and they
We're very little smaller than those
worn by the master.
The schoolroom furniture was also
very different from that of today. The
room was not usually a large one, The
masters desk and chair were on a plat
form. There were no desks for the
children. The little ones sat on stools,
or on low wooden benches, or played on
the loor without being reproved by the
master. The older boys and girls stood
on either side of a long narrow table
| While they did their tasks in writing
and figuring. There were no class reel
tations such as we have now Instead
when 1t was time to recite the. master
called the boys singly or in small
groups around him and heard their les
sons.
No boy of the present day would be
willing to make such q picturesque APP
pearance as those boys presented. Now
adays they would be called Sissy 81
girl boys" and would be loudly deereo
for their broad collars, which Were
often trimmed with embroidery. and
their long curling locks. They wore
knickerbockers usually ending in rufie;
or turned up cuffs, buckled shoes and
skirted coats belted in at the waists
The little girls wore very quaini
dresses reaching to their feet ant
modelled exactly after those worn BY
\ their mammas. They wore long aprons
also reaching to the ground. and tlghl
little caps which were not removed in
doors.-New York Herald.

VALUE OF HUMAN LIFE.<

When person dies of tuberculosis
we are apt to think, 'fWe11, not only
are his troubles over, but he Is no
longer an expense to family, friends
or the community" No further ex-
pense, perhaps, but nevertheless a
great loss, not only in the circle of
family or friends, but also to the COM
munity! There are, it is said, 100000
deaths from tuberculosis in the Unit
ed States annually. Let us be con-
sentative and say 100000. The aver
age age at time of death is IS years.
The normal life would go on for thir-
ty-two years longer, or until the sixty
seventh year. Frederick l.. Hoffman,
a noted statistician, has estimated
that the real loss of life of these $780,
900 victims Of consumption, measured
in time, is 100000 years per annum.
III We assume that the net value of a
year Of human life is at least. $50, the
real loss to the nation resulting from
the disease, a large portion OF which
is needless, may be estimated at $780,
100000 per annum.''- metropolitan

fellows. We need all the energy and
brains In our union to overcome OBJ
stacles and these can best be obliter-
ated by active participation in labor's
cause, the purchasing Of nothing that
does not bear the union label. the
bearing Of our share Of the burden
and our general cooperation to the
end Of fully emancipating all those
who sweat by the toll Of their brow.
Is not such an institution worth
fighting for? In consideration Of the
fact that the union is doing all these
things for JUS, is It not our duty to at
tend the meetings of our union regu-
larly instead Of allowing few to con-
duct the business. of our organization?
The union is a democratic institu-
ton in that 1t allows every man to
have q voice in conducting it's affairs,
but how can we be active members in
our union unless we attend the meet
lngs regulaFly? -. -.
The man who attends a union meet
ing once year and who pays his dues
only upon threat, of expulsion, is not
worthy the name of union man."

BLUE LABEL LEAGUE
HOLDS CONVENTION

The seventh annual convention Of
the Minnesota State Blue Label
League was held at Red Wing imme-
diately before the Federation Of Labor
convention. Eight cities were repre-
scented.
President Weigel. in his report, not
ed g. stronger and more determined
opposition to the union label products
than formerly, and asked a more con-
certed movement on the part Of the
state unions: In behalf Of the output
of cigar factories using the union label.
He discussed some methods Of secur-
ing publicity for union-na goods
state unions In :. advertising their
wares. - i, r~,',~.~:> .
E. q: Hail, secretary treasurer, sub
mitted a report covering the financial
transactions OF the league. Almost
two thousand dollars were collected
and expenditures were but $1,427.47,
so the organization has a handsome
balance. More money was spent than
last year and a greater variety of adj
vertising matter was distributed. Many
INQUIRIES had been received from out
side leagues as, to the system under
which the Minnesota organization does
it's business. ~
Several resolutions were introduced
at the afternoon session. One asked
union members to patronize as far as
possible rlrMon-made goods; another
requested unions to set aside portion
Of the time Of each meeting for the
discussion Of, matters pertaining to
the, label and label products; still
| another recommended that special
| consideration be given to label goods
| of home manufacture when making
| purchases, and that all ines Of home
industry be favored.
One OF the. most important of the
resolutions is that which protests to
| congress because OF It's action per-
uniting the admission of 100, O00, 900
cigars each year, free Of duty, from
the Philippine Islands. The protest
will be sent to the Minnesota mem
bers with q special plea that steps
may be taken to stop this practice,

THE SLANDERER.

Anybody can soil the reputation of
an individual, however pure and
chaste. by uttering a suspicion that
his enemies will believe and his
friends never hear of. A puff of the
idle wind can: take million Of the
seeds of the thistle and do the work
of mischief which the husbandman
must labor long to undo, the floating
particles being too fine to be seen
and too light to be stopped. Such
are the seeds Of SANDER, so easily
sown, so difficult to be gathered up,
and yet SO pernicious in their fruits.
The slanderer knows that many a
mind will catch UP the plague and be-
come poisoned by his insinuation,
without seeking the antidote. No rep
utation can refute a sheer, nor any
human skill prevent mischief. :.

unions have as much right to exist as
this association Of manufacturers and
capitalists. headed BY Kirby, which
has for its object the taking Of the
animal by the "horns until It is
obedient.'' II: .ss~ *: A =
e The Kirbys, the Van Cleaves and
the rest Of the dictatorial capitalists,
who class laborers as animals and
criminals are forcing an issue be-
tween labor and capital and agitating
a spirit Of unrest, harmful to society
and destructive to the system which
means prosperity for all. ~.
Laborers are not criminals. They
are more law-abiding than the trusts
and corporations. Law-breaking trusts
are overworking the courts. They are
in the criminal courts and the civil
courts. .....
Laborers are not animals to be har-
messed like the horse. Capital cannot
place the bit in the mouth of labor
and then take the reins.
Kirby and his gang are the ones
who would pull down all that has been
built up through the cooperation of
capital and labor. They condemn the
socialist and anarchist and do more
harm than either.

ability and shame, steals upon the
street in the night and solicits the
price of dishonor, and, If caught by
the upholders Of the law, becomes q
resident in Bastile, to satisfy the
vengeance Of the law. ~
But the uniformed Turnkey In fash
ionable hotel with unblushing effron-
terry extends his paw for aims, and
the law does not reach the spiritless
creature who gloats over the proceeds
he has gathered from the patrons OF
a hotel through his lack of shame and
manhood.
The Pullman Company has thous-
ands of men in it's employ to whom
is paid but few paltry dollars per
month. This company, that has glor-
led in its despotism towards the work
ing class, expects It's employees to fitch
from the public a sufficient amount
in tips to make up the necessary diff
ference between a mans wages and
the pittance that is paid to the servile
chattels and lickspittles who wear the
brass-buttoned uniform of the Pull
man company.
1t is claimed that in many of the
most fashionable hotels of America
the employees must pay to the man.
agement a certain amount per month
in order to hold the privilege Of be.
ing numbered among the slaves who
are licensed to wait upon the public.
In other words, the beggar in uniform
divides the loot with his master, and
the patrons of the highway joints pay
the bill
The tipping system has become
such nuisance that in the state of
Washington the legislature passed q
bill which makes it a. misdemeanor
to gather revenue in such a manner.
In many of the legislative bodies Of
various states measures were drafted
and introduced providing a penalty
against the masculine bum who wears
the livery of the hotel, but for some
reason they were smothered in COM
mittee rooms.
The man who is the beneficiary Of
tips in the fashionable cafe or hotel,
as a general rule, is opposed to or
gained labor and scorns the idea Of
becoming a member of a union whose
membership are battling for shorter
hours and higher wage. The tip
fiend prefers to be a well-dressed beg
gar rather than be a man, using his
efforts to lift his fellow-men to a
higher plane An the battle of life.
