What UniOniSm Can Do.

Detroit, Michigan, July 9. The
Bottle Sorters' union illustrates
what workingmen can d through
organization. Less than FIVE weeks
ago bottle sorters in one large es-
tablisement in this city labored ten
hours a day and received from So
to Sll week, and as a rule were
compelled to work seven days a
week. Few of them are acquitted
with the English language, but
they were induced to attend a
meeting and were organized as a
federal union, directly chartered
by the American Federation of La
bor. They presented a new agree
ment TO their employer and after
a ten days strike secured written
contract providing for the union
shop, nine hours day, six days a
week and a wage rate of SIS week.

State Fund A Success.

Fort Worth, Texas, July, O.
Editor Woodman of the Unicn
Banner can see no excuse for the
storm of protest against workers in
the Oklahoma wheat fields who are
asking So day.
"Three dollars per day has for
many years been the price paid in
the harvest fields of Kansas and
other wheat states, !" says Editor
Woodman, "and we can see moth
ing alarming in the demand for a
So scale in Oklahoma, for if there
was ever time when the farmers
can pay feir wage it is this year,
with the assurance of a greater de-
mand for wheat than has ever been
known"

THE CIGARETTE BEETLE.
This Tough Little Pest viii Flourish
Even In Cayenne Pepper.

Even IN cayenne Pepper.
A tiny but withal practically ON
nivorous little fellow, the cigarette
beetle is known to science as Lasioder-
ma serricorne. 1t is common in nearly
all tropical and subtropical countries,
and, as a sample of its catholic tastes,
we may mention that it will breed in
raisins, rhubarb, cayenne pepper, rice,
ginger, dried fish, upholstery. ergot,
turmeric, books. cane work, gun wads,
liquorce, saffron, belladonna and in
pyrethrum powder strong enough to
kill cockroaches-a varied catalogue to
be sure 1t is chiefly rs a pest of
tobacco in various forms, however,
that the cigarette beetle has become
notorious. The greatest damage Is
done to the wrappers of cigars and
cigarettes, through which it eats small
holes.
The larvae live upon the tobacco leaf,
and very interesting fact is that the
size of the adult beetles. into which the
larvae eventually develop depends not
only on the quantity, but also on the
quality, of tobacco that has been de-
youred in the immature stages. EX-
pertinent has shown that in every case
beetles obtained from selected cigars
were double the size of those from
low grade tobacco. 1t will be remem
bered that the cheese skipper" is par

cigarette beetle is somewhat Of Il con
noisseur, for given Il free choice cigar
cites are always the first to be infested.
while cheap grade tobacco and cigars
kept in the same room will remain un
infested for years.
Apart from the actual destruction of
the tobacco leaf, the larvae spoil its
aroma and accordingly depreciate its
value: it Is some consolation TO know
that the adults themselves do no dam

to eradicate, and. to that end, an ex-

Enact Cooperative Bill.

Springfield, Ill, July 8 One
of the most important bills passed
by the recent legislature, and now
awaiting the governors approval,
is the co operative bill favored by
the state federation of labor and
the farmers CARNATIONS. This
act will safeguard the interests of
those involved in a co operative
movement, and will prevent its cap
ture and misuse by opponents.
Officers of the state federation of
labor says:
1t IS safe to assume now that
the road for an effective and far
reaching cooperative movement
having been paved by the passage
of this act, the organized formers
as well as the trade unionists will
take advantage of the possibilities
of the situation and that Illinois
will soon be far in the lead of other
states in the establishment and OPP
Grafton of cooperative enterprises
under the direct control and man
agement of working people. The
thirty odd stores which are now in
operation, and the cooperative in
stitutions of the farmers will under
the new act, be placed upon sub
stantial legal footing that will mean
much for their progress.

THE OLD MASTERS.
Paintings Without Signatures Are
Judoed by Their Technlo.

Paintings Without Signatures Are
Judged by Their Technlo.
1t appears that many of the works
Of the old masters are not signed
Experts rarely rely on signatures alone
In determining the authenticity of an
old work, but trust rather TO their
knowledge of the painters technic,
says the Philadelphia Record.
False signatures can be easily de-
tected. Spirits of wine or turpenttne
will usually remove a name OF later
date than the painting. In the course
of time signatures often become very
difficult to find. Painted originally In
a shade slightly lighter than the
ground, perhaps, they sink in, darken,
and merge into the ground color or
they are almost rubbed away by sue
cessfve cleanings. Recognizable one
day In specially favorable light, they
may not be visible again for weeks.
Experts speak of "will-o' the wisp"
signatures, and many collectors have
encountered accidental strokes and
cracks that tantalizingly suggest sig
nature though 1t can never be made
definite. On the other hand, there have
been remarkable cases of such marks,
after careful study. resolving them
selves into famous name.
Sometimes the painters name is most
conspicuous as. for example, In Ra-
phael's "Sposalizio' at Milan. Proud
Of having surpassed his master, the
youthful genius wrote on frieze In
the very center of the canvas, Raphael
Urbinas"
Reynolds hardly ever signed his
work. But upon the completion of
the portrait of Mrs. Siddons as the
Tragic Muse, he wrote his name large
on the gold embroidery of her dress.
He was unable, he said. ito resist the
temptation of sending my name to pos
terity on the hem of your garment"

CANCER IN THE FAMILY.
There is No Proof That the Dreaded
Disease is Hereditary.

Perhaps nothing causes more need.
more persons in a given family have
died from cancer This is commonly
taken as a proof that the disease is
hereditary. This does not at all fol
low. There is probably no greater
chance of inheriting cancer than there
is of being killed by lightning or of
breaking ones neck falling down
stairs. Perhaps there are people who
worry even about tAose contingencies
but the statisticians have shown that
such fatal accidents are extremely
rare.
People who are concerned because
their relatives have succumbed to can
Ger fail TO consider how widespread
the disease is. A malady that causes
one death out of every eight among
women and one out Of every fourteen
among men over forty is fairly com
mon. On this basis it does not take
much arithmetic to figure out how
likely 1t IS that cancer will occur many
times In some families.
The eminent statisticians. King and
Newsholme. have pointed out that II
does not prove heredity TO show that
in one family five deaths occurred
from cancer BY the very frequency
of the disease and the laws of chance
such cases would be expected even II
no one had ever suggested the idea OF
heredity.

gible factor Journal Of the American

Everybody boycotts the thing

Punishment is barbarism, be-

If you hang me you will be

There is cause for crime as
there is for typhoid fever.
Hate and love move courts

ing so ephemeral and nothing so
powerful as public opinion-it is

GRANDDAUGHTER Of
ABRAHAM LINCOLN
IS MARRIED AGAIN
FORMER WIFE OF WARREN BECK
WITH, Iowa ATHLETE, WEEDS
GE0GRAPHER

KEOKUK, Ia, July 10-Of much in
terest locally will be the following
story which was sent the Chicago Tri-
bune from Manchester. There is hard
ly any one in Keokuk or vicinity who
does not remember Warren Beckwith,
baseball player and enthusiast, and an
enthusiastic deyotee of river sports.
His wife was the granddaughter of
President Lincoln. They became es-
tranged several years ago and a d.
vorce followed. Mrs. Beckwith has
now married again, as the following
from Manchester, VT, tells:
Mrs. Jessie Lincoln Beckwith,
daughter of Robert Todd Lincoln, of
Chicago, and only living grandchild of
the late Abraham Lincoln, was married
here today to Frank Edward Johnson,
of Norwich, Conn.
only the immediate members of the
family witnessed the ceremony, which
was performed by Rev. Sidney King
man Perkins. Mr. Johnson is a we'll
known geographer and is connected
with the National Geographic society
of Washington"
Mrs. Johnson's new union is much
different from the one formed by her
against the wishes of her parents in
1897. In those days Miss Jessie Lin
coin, a society belle, was visiting at
the home of her grandfather, Justice
Harlan, when she met Warren w.
Beckwith, who was playing right half

back on the Iowa Wesleyan football
team.
Miss Lincoln watched him fell under
the spell Of hero worship at college
games, and love developed and a
speedy courtship was carried on, des-
pite the efforts of the Lincoln relatives
to prevent it. An elcpement followed,
and the brides father tried to place
Beckwith in a responsible position with
the Pullman company in Chicago.
The young husband, however, soon
returned to the home of his father,
Capt. W. Beckwith, at Mount Pleasant,
and later became a professional base
ball player in minor league. Then he
entered the Spanish-American war as
a volunteer. A daughter was born to
the couple, the only great-granddaugh-
ter of Lincoln.
By this time the love cooled and sep
aration followed, a divorce not being
obtained, however, until 1900, on I'M
contested charges of desertion made by
the husband.
