ley. of Missouri, addressed the dele
gates attending the SOth annual conven-
ton of the American Federation of La
Dor today, on "Workingmen's Compen-
sation." t 'e 60
President Gompers continued the read
ing of his report, which he began yes
terday afternoon. The other business OF
the convention was the fling of reports
by the committees.
Before the convention ends the dele
gates, according TO leaders, will have to
decide for or against socialism. Gompers,
in his report, said that politically an in
variable problem which confronts the
trade union movement is how to take
action without binding itself to hard
and fast ism, "ology," or platform.
Victor L. Berger, of Milwaukee, the
Socialist ongressman-elect, and Max
Hayes, of Cleveland, are leading in the
struggle to have the convention declare
for socialism. Hayes friends would like
to see him succeed Gompers in the pres
idency.

Thackera y's Satire.

Thackeray created quite erroneous impressions of himself by often indulg- ing in irony in the presence of people who were Incapable of understanding it. One curious instance which he gave was this: Thaekeray had been dining at the GaTick and was talking In the smoking room after dinner with vari- Cus club acquaintances. One of them happening to have left his cigar case at home. Thackeray, though disliking
 the man, who was a notorious tuft hunter. good naturedly offered him one of his cigars. The man accepted the cigar. but, not finding it to his liking. had the bad taste to say to Thackeray, "I say. Thackeray, you won't mind my saying don't think much of this cigarY' Thackeray, no doubt irritated at the mans ungraciousness and bear ing in mind his tuft hunting predilec- lions. quietly responded, You ought to, my good fellow, for 1t was given me by lord" Instead, however, of detecting the irony, the dolt immedi- ately attributed the remark to snob- bishness on Thackeray's part and to the end of his days went about declar- ing that 'Thaekeray had boasted that he had been given cigar by lord.'

Ihe Expense of . Wife.

A wife Is decided addition to the demands upon ones purse. In that sense. however sensible and managing she may be. she Is expensive. But everything worth having has It's price of one soH or another, and there are some thinsS which cost much without which life Is hardly worth living.
 Safd Thiers: Most men contemplate making some self denial when they marry. They think they will give up such and such expensive pleasures. Latcr on, when they discover that they cannot do so. and at the same time they lack the means to indulge, they complain that 1t is the extravaganza of their wives which causes the incon- venience."

Confession.
(By United Press.)

LONDON, Nov. %
Among a score Of unmarked
flagstone-covered graves in
the yard at Pentonville
prison today lies the body of
DR.. Hawley II. Crippen,
while Miss Ethel Claire
Leneve, for whom Crippen
committed a crime for which
he paid with his life, is being
borne toward America on
the liner Majestic.
DR.. H. H. Crippen, hanged today
at Pentonville for the murder of
his wife, Belle Elmore Crippen, is
accounted one. of the most remark
able criminals that ever sprung a
trap in any gallows in Merrie Eng
land.
Whether Crippen confessed the
crime to his spiritual adviser,
Father Carey, after embracing
Catholicism shortly before his brief
journey to the gallows, whether he
confided the details of a horrible
murder to Solicitor Newton, his
counsel, or whether he sold a
spurious or q bona fide confession
to the London Evening Times to
provide Miss Leneve with a COM
petence, probably will never be
known. The Times reiterates today
that the American physician con-
fessed cunningly planned crime;
Father Carey, Miss Leneve and Ar
thur Newton, Crippen's counsel, de-
MED knowledge of any confession.
