AGAIN, In sattrical response 10 the
warnings made by Mr.. Beck that the
Law must be observed and that Mr..
Sands might live to regret his indiffef
ence. there is a little card. beautifully
decorated with sprays of forget-me-
nots,a nd the following quotation:
Fear not. ! am he that liveth
and was dead: and behold, ] am alive
for eyermore, amen. and have the
keys of Hell and Death"
In answer to Mr.. Beek's description
Of the ramshackle condition OF the
buildings in question, Mr.. Sands sends
the following quotations from the
sermon by DIR. Charles II. Sturgeon.
If anyone gave me an estate
certainly should not commence raising
questions as to the title.
What can be the use of my invent
Ing reasons why should hold my own
house or posses any other piece al
property enjoyed by me?
How Improbable is the diligence
which busies Itself In finding out rea g
sons why faith In our cause should not
be saving?"
All these and various other quota =
tons were in the envelope and fin
ally. to cap the climax, there was a
miniature tin-plate, which looks very
much as If 1t might once have seen
service as the top of q vegetable can.
On this plate the following quotation
from Isaiah j: Is Is carefully en-
graved:
Though your sins be as scarlet, they
shall be as white as now; though they
be red like crimson. they shall be as
wool"
Upon first opening this most un-
usual letter Inspector Peck was In -
alined 10 be angry. Later, however, he
smiled

well pleased with himself for that 1T

D. S. STEEL TRUST TO PAY
ITS INJURED W0RKMEN
Families of Employees Killed Will Be
Pensioned, and Age and DisabiI-
ity Pensions Promised.

ity Pensions Promised.
New York, N. Y, April 19.-The
United States Steel Corporation, fol-
lowing its recent announcement of
general increase in the wages, came
out with another announcement Of
equal Importance to it's employees,
more particularly to those who are
directly engaged in it's plants. The
corporation has decided to put in
force at once system of pensions
and disability payments for depend.
ents Of those killed while in it's en-
ploy and of disability payments for
the injured.
Subsidiary companies have for
years paid benefits to the families Of
men killed and to injured workmen,
which, Judge Gary said, have amount
ed to more than 100000 year, but
the new plan involves no contribution
from the men themselves, and is more
comprehensive and systematic.
a pension system for superanuated
and disabled employees is also under
consideration, and will be put in force
soon.
This action was looked upon in
Wall Street as another move in the
steel corporations policy Of keeping
its men loyal and circumventing So
cialistic and labor union arguments.
All the concessions together, it is
thought in the Street, will have the
effect of disarmings the Central Fed
Grafton of Labor, which has been i'm
portuning the Washington authorities
against the Steel Trust, and at the
same time, it is predicted, will fore
stall employers liability legislation.
The Steel Corporation announced
its voluntary decision TO Increase the
wages of its 100000 employees, the
added expenditure for this purpose
being about $9,000,000 year, 1t also
declared against Sunday work and
said that arrangements must be made
through which at least "a hours
continuous rest each week should be
afforded employees in the manufact-
turing plants.
The International Harvester Com
pany, the dominant interests in which
are the same as those in the Steel
Corporation, decided this week to in
sure it's employees in all of it's plants
against accidents.

an Impostor.

Boston, April 1S.-Judge Lawton in
the Middlesex county Probate Court
decided against the claim Of the
North Dakota man who for seven
months has been fighting to establish
his identity as Daniel Blake Russell,
an heir to the 100000 estate of the
late Daniel Russell Of Melrose.
Il find that none of the petitions
now before the Court were brought or
presented by Daniel Blake Russell, but
by one who attempted to impersonate
him and to defraud the estates in re-
lation to which they We're filed. Ac-
cordingly they all will be dismissed"
