A Family Windfall.



Father had the rheuma tism. uncle
had the govt, baby had the measles
and his skin was popping out; sister
had.the whooping cough. brother had
the Group. and grandma had sciatica
from sitting on the stoop.
Then there came q catalogue describ-
ing all our ills, guaranteed to cure
'em with q certain kind OF pills. So
the family sent for some, and, when
they came, they took and dosed them
selves three times a day. according to
the book.
Two days later father jumped as
timber As Q mouse; uncle kicked a can
non ball over Johnson's house! Baby's
measles went away, and sister stopped
her cough. while grandma felt SO fine
that she took all her dannels on!
Now we're never sick at all. or any
thing like that-all the fat folks get
ting thin. and thin folks getting fat.
All our appetites are good-we eat
like cannibals, and make q family liv-
ing writing tes-ti-mon-t-als!

New Unionist Labor Party.

The movement for the purpose Of fusing
the various conservative and unionist
workingmen's organizations has now been
successfully accomplished and a new body
created under the name Of the "unionist
labor party" Two hundred branches
have been formed in different districts
and constituencies. The object of the
new party is to promote the interests of
labor along national lines by the adoption
OF the following program:
The direct and effective representation
Of labor in parliament and in other public
bodies.
The promotion of cooperation between
capital and labor, including copartner-
ship and profit sharing, tariff reform and
A reformed second chamber, with power
to refer important questions to the cleo
torate.
Reform of the poor law. land reform,
small holdings and the better housing of
the working classes.
To support the legitimate operations Of
all trade unions and kindred organiza-
lions. and of friendly societies, consistent
with the political, municipal and religious
freedom of their members, on the basis
Of the Osborne judgment
A great number Of meetings are to be
held in different parts of the country, and
all unionists and moderate mems asso-
Citations are asked to affiliate with the
movement. 1t is constituted on parallel
lines with the socialist labor party, hav-
ing local branches, district councils and a
central executive committee In London.
The new party is in no way officially
connected with the conservative central
Office.
1t is claimed that the present labor
party at Westminster does not correct
" represent the views Of great num-
bers Of the working classes, who are
against the socialist doctrines, and one
Of the most essential points in the
program of the new party is the ade-
ouate parliamentary representation Of
the working classes. 1t Is intended to
resist to the utmost the attempt OF the
socialist trades union element to in
terfere with the political freedom Of
the individual members of the trades
unions. A general executive has been
formed, on which the following organi-
zations have representatives.: Anal
gamated Society of Engineers, Typo
graphical Association. South Wales
Miners Federation, Steam Engine
makers Society, Skaters and Tiers So
ctety. Workers Defense Union, Trade
Unionist Tariff Reform Association and
the Conservative Labor Party.

Two citizens Of New London have
Solved the bill board nuisance in so
far as it relates to the big one that
was located in Montauk avenue that
extends from Moore avenue south to
the Smith property, by purchasing the
land and refusing to renew the biz
board rental. First Alderman James
70. Leary bought a large portion Of
the land beginning at Moore avenue
and Walter 4. Smith subsequently
purchased the balance. The owners
of the bill board were ordered 20 re-
move Immediately upon the exDird-
ton of the lease and now the boards
are gone and in their place Will be
several fine residences in the near
future. Alderman O'Leary's fine resi-
uence IS located diagonally opposite
the obnoxious bill board and Mr..
Smiths residence was on the same
SIDE OF the avenue and adjoined the
property that contained the bill BOARD.
The bill board that disfigured the
avenue near School street has also
been removed. This board fronted on
the lot that adjoined the fine harbor
schnolhouse and the city bought the
lot and Of course the bill board had to
go,
