ELECTRICAL WORKERS.

Complete amalgamation of electrical
workers into the national union affili-
ated with the American Federation of
Labor is assured, according to word
from international Secretary Ford of
the I. b. i. w. The news was SO good
that Ford used the longdistance tele-
phone from Indianapolis to Dallas, Tex,
to communicate it to Dan Bechtol, in
ternational vice president, who is now
in Texas. "The entire Canadian District
Council of the seeding Reid-Murphy'
faction will re-affiliate in body, this
is sure,' said Ford. Their Southern Dis
trict Council has practically re-affiliat-
ed, too-Dallas (Tex.) locals Nos. so

No. 272 have voted to come back in
the fold, and they are energetic in per-
suading the few other seeding locals to
follow the same course.

MITE BOX GRAFT ALLEGED.
District Attorney Qu-s'ions Head Of
Golden Rule Alliance

Assistant District Attorney Colnon has
begun an investigation of alleged mite
box graft In the collections OF the Golden
Rule Alliance OF America. which has
and other public places since December,
1912. with an appeal to contribute just
penny for the blind"
The District Attorneys attention was
called to the matter by "A letter from the
State Board of Charities at the nstigat u IN
OF Herman Rdder, a member Of the
board. The letter said that the Rev. Ed :
win G. Holman was apparently making
a good living out OF his scheme" OF col
lecting for a blind girls home"
Holman has a parish home AT Franklin
Furnace, n. D. lie was summoned to
Mr., Colnon's office on Wednesday and
promised TO produce the books of the So
ciety next week.
The Golden Rule Alliance ie an offshoot
of the International sunshine Society anl
was Incorporated on December l6 1912.
Fanny J. Crosby the blind writer OF
hymns, is president. but it's affairs are
handled almost entirely By Holman and
his wife.
Mr.. Colnon found that the society had
spent about $1,000 for mite boxes in and
around New York tho revenue from
which amounts to about $3.50 a month
Since Incorporation, Holman told him. he
has collected about $4,000 OF which he
now has 5000 in cash in his Office and
5000 in the Bank of the Metropolis He
says that the rest was spent for expenses
and that he received nothing whatever
for his services.
Holman says that the string OF homes
for blind girls promised in the appeal
In the mite boxes, ono at Yonkers, the
other at Franklin Furnace, did not ma
terialize because the money came in 40
slowly and the expenses were so great.
He told Mr., Colnon that the books would
account for the funds and that everything
was fair and square"

ORIGIN a che PorIwio.

The periwig, which played SO impor-
tant a part in the toilet Of man Of
fashion during part Of the seventeenth
and. eighteenth centuries, owed It's orr
gin TO Louis XIV. of France. When a
little boy Che succeeded to the throne
at'Gve years OF age) he possessed pro
fusion OF remarkably beautiful waving
hair which fell In clustering curls over
his shoulders. The courtiers initiated
the boy king by having heads Of false
hair to initiate bis natural locks, and
when Louis grew up he adopted the
pefiwig himself.
During the reign Of William and
Mary periwigs were worn In exagger-
ated dimensions, and the beaux used
to comb their wigs in public with spe-
cial combs Of ivory and tortoise shell,
which became at last quite indispen-
sable to these fine gentlemen.

Nay Build Dupont boulevard.

The last legal obstacle to the
construction of the DUPONT Boule-
ward through the length Of the
State of Delaware, was removed
last week when the U. s. Supreme
Court at Washington dismissed the
suit which was brought by local
objectors to eDjoin condemnation of
land for the project.
Litigation has halted work on the
boulevard which Gen. T. Coleman
dupont started to construct several
years ago, at an estimated cost of
50, 900, 900. The decision of the
highest court may result in work
being resumed.
The fight against the boulevard
was made because Gen. dnPont's
plan included the taking over OF a
strip of land 200 feet wide, only 30
feet of which to be used for road
purposes. This would leave q strip
ITO feet in width for trolley or rail
road purposes.
The act under which the land
was being condemned was attacked
as unconstitutional, but was upheld
in the Delaware courts, and then
appealed to the U. s. Supreme
Court, with the result as above
stated.
