ONE WIFE THANKS
ALIMONY CLUB
Members Provide Turkey and
Money for Fellow Pris.
Oner's Family.

No matter how black their characters
have been painted By their wives. the
members o. the Aiimony Club in Lud-
low Street IaI! can prove q streak Of
white. In the midst OF their feasting
yesterday they did not forget the wife
OF a fellow prisoner in distress, sup
plying her with a giant gobbler and
enough money 10 last Mrs. Branishan
Karrrowicz. Of ilS East Third Street,
and her two children a week.
Perhaps II kacprowicZ had also been
an alimony debtor the members of the
club mightn't have shown so much re-
gard for his wife. kacprowicZ, how
ever. is IN jail on a body execution for
S5.070.3S, issued in the suit OF former

So thankful was Mrs. kacprowicz for
the gift that she Journeyed TO 20 Lud-
low Street last night 70 voice her graft
tude. But it had been a heavy day for
the inmates, and Warden Rock told the
woman that the members of the club
didn't know gratitude when they saw IL.
fhe chill wind OF ingratltude, he added,
had been blowing on them too long for
them TO appreciate the balm OF
Thank you"
The alimony debtors were thankful,
however. for reasons alimentary. Even
in Ludlow Street Jail Master Gobbler
was not immune. He was served with
cranberries. sweet potatoes, celery.
Ties, fruit, coffee. cigars. speeches and
songs. The most popular song, some
thing about not paying alimony, was
fitted to the tune OF ~ Didn't Raise My
Boy To Be Soldier" and ran:

Oh, why did ! an icicle e'er wed?
Instead Of wedlocking a wife too bony.
I might have married one that was
well fed

And then no wedding bells will ring
for me.

Thus sang one and thus chorused
the others. Even Warden Rock admit
ted that he kept time with the synco-
pgted measure He offered a word of
consolation 10 the members Of the club.

Alimony Club unanimously; they need

Dinner was served yesterday at 20
Ludlow Street at II o'clock sharp. The
diners weren't through until 4.
The only sad feature of the enter
tainment was the plight of Kacprowicz,
who has been an inmate of the Jail

GARMENT WORKERS STATE
notwithstanding that your paper is
fair and that you will publish the
truth at all times, 1 wish to submit
to you for publication the following
statement:
For some time past articles have
appeared from day to day in The
Day Book in reference to the clothing
and tailoring industries and the con-
ditions that exist in different shops so
far as the workers are concerned.
There is no question but that the
conditions in most of the shops are
deplorable and the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers are trying to tell
the workers through The Day Book
how to improve these conditions.
In this connection l wish to say
that the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers are seeding element from
the United Garment Workers of
America and they have been repudi-
ated by the American Federation of
Labor, as well as by the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor, and the rank and
file of the workers can expect no sup
port of the labor movement if they
affiliate themselves with this dual or
ganization.
On the other hand, the United Gar
ment Workers of America is bona
fide organization, affiliated with the
American labor movement, and can
reasonably expect the support of or
ganized labor in their efforts toward
organizing the workers in this trade.
We have great many agreements
with different firms in force at the
present time in the city Of Chicago

IRELAND Isn't it funny when an
Irishman comes to this country and
speaks the Irish accent nobody
laughs, but as soon as an Italian or
Jew talks with his special accent
everybody laughs. They should call
this country Ireland No. 2, and that's
the reason everything is so crooked.

No man or woman who eats meat

so they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou-

come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache ia

the urine is cloudy, offensive, full OF

about four ounces Of Jad Salts from

MYTHS HARD TO DOWN
ONCE GAMING MEASURE OF BE.
LIEF, THEY LAST.
That 6onaparte Visited London Was
Once Common Talk--Many Irish
men Convinced De Wei Really
Was Charles s. Parnell.

Was Napoleon Bonaparte ever in
London? There is a legend that in
1891 or 1892 he lodged in George
street, Adelphi. The grandfather of
the comedian Matthews, James Col
man, who had lived In Leicester
square for a century, and several hon.
est tradesmen of the Strand swore
that they met him during his visit Of
FIVE weeks. 1t was reported that he
passed most OF his time in walking
through the streets. Occasionally he
took cup of chocolate at a coffee
house, where he occupied himself in
reading" and preserved taciturntsy
provoking to gentlemen in the room"
And SO there is a Bostonian of In
telligence, who, visiting in country
house in England, swears that he saw
train after train go by carrying Russian
soldiers. He knew the uniform and
recognized 1t. Another intelligent Bos-
tonian has a friend that happened to
be at Archangel, where he saw Rus
sian troops embark.
What would life be without the
myths and legends?
During the Boer war there were
Irishmen in Ireland, and possibly in
this country, who believed that De
Wet was no less a parsonage than
Charles Stewart Parnell The two
bore a facial resemblance, and some
declined to believe the story of Par
nell's death. There are Georgians who
will swear to you on the honor of a
southern gentleman that Marshal Ney
was not shot to death - IA Gerome's
picture; that he came to Georgia, led
the life of a planter, p-ospered and
died in bed at a good old age.
1t is easy to convince many that
the dauphin died In prison. If some
deny the claim of the clockmaker,
others accept that of Rev. Eleazer
Williams. What a stir the article,
Have We a Bourbon Among Us?"
made about sixty years ago when it
was published in Put1am's Magazine!
And in 1854 Rev. ]. H. Hanson pub

his satisfaction the identity of Louis

DISEASE IS STAMPED OUT
Foot and Mouth MaIady Which Swept
Through Wisconsin Is De-
cIared Eliminated.

Milwaukee.-After a struggle lasting
three months, the fight against the
foot and mouth disease in Wisconsin
has been won.
This was the announcement made by
DR.. Albert E. Behnke, who is in
charge Of the Milwaukee branch of
the bureau of animal industry of the
United States department of agricui-
ture. The statement was qualihed,
however, By reference to the posi-
bility of the temperance of isolated
cases of the disease with the approach
of warm weather. Ninety days after
issuance of the order that threw a
quarantine around the entire state and
prohibited the shipping of neat cattle,
sheep or hogs from Wisconsin and
placed restraint on all stockyards in
the state, Wisconsin was declared free
of the disease.
"The state is Clean" said DR.. Behn-
Ike. Not case of the foot and mouth
disease exists in Wisconsin today.
However, all danger may not be over
and we are awaiting the return of
spring with some anxiety. The closest
inspection will continue as a proven
tive measure"
Since Nov. 6, the day the disease
was discovered in Wisconsin herds,
4,40O head of stock of all kinds has
been condemned and slaughtered UNI
der the direction of the bureau of ami
NAL industry, as a measure of proven
ton in protecting other cattle owners
and other herds.
The value of this stock, as apprais-
ed, was s106,64534, and the govern
ment is paying the owners for their
animals on basis of so per cent of
the appraised valuation. The state is
planning to bear one-half the loss sus-
tanned by owners of herds.
The our rentine order against Wis
consin is still in effect except as it
has been modified from time to time
by order of the department of agri-
culture.
