PUT into an untenable position in
their hours and wages CONTROVERSY

position is nothing to arbitrate.
The managers have been willing
to arbitrate throughout. They sug-

Commission as arbitrator and were
refused on the wholly evasive ground
that the commission has no power to
Ak wages. They then suggested ar.

ADV ERTISING

There has been a great change Of
sentiment in regard to the RELIABLE
ity Of advertising. The writer can
remember how as a boy he used to
hear people deride statements made
by advertisers. There was a wide
spread feeling that you could not he.
lieve the things you saw in print.
1t is now realized that a merchant
would better not advertise at all ra.
cher than put lying or even exagger-
ated statements into black aud
white. The people flock to his store
and II they find they are given
shams. they feel they are double
crossed and they take II to heart.
Advertising solicitors used to be
met with the excuse from some mer'
chants that they would not advertise
because the public would not accept
their statements. That excuse is
rarely given today.
Having produced this strong feel
ing in the public mind OF business
good faith, It is the part of wisdom
for every merchant to e that 1t Is
Justified. In certain classes of ad.
vertising, such as Get Rich Quick
schemes, medical notices, etc, there
is still a good deal of exaggeration.
1t hurts the whole newspaper AMI
retail trade business, because 1t does
foster the lingering feeling in the
minds OF some that publicly made
statements cannot be depended on.
But no matter how many fakes are
still printed by the newspapers, (the
reputable home paper rarely gets
caught, but metropolitan papers are
careless in this natter, any individ'
ual merchant can build up public
confidence in the accuracy of his
statements. Let him take pains to
display prominently every article he
has advertised. After people have
visited the store a few times, and
have regularly found the goods as
: announced, the reputation for fulfill
ing promises is created and is easi'
.ly maintained.

ers may be exploring and making
notes on the resources of the islands
Recently a party Of Japanese Off
cials. including the chief government
engineer of Formosa, was discovered

Standard Oil concerns, also has es-
tablished itself in Manila, and is en-
gaging extensively in the coal trade.

Even in the minor lines of this
great staple the japanese have already
established their supremacy In the
yarn trade and imports of wearing
apparel the United States has been
practically eliminated. Last year
the United States exported to the
Philippines yarns TO the value of
about $4,000, while Japan sold nearly
S50000O worth. In wearing apparel
Japanese sales exceeded those of the
United States by so per cent. while

Gus. cannot come to each of you
and take my leave, but shall be obliged
to you if each of you will come and
take me by the hand
A profound silence followed as the
officers gazed at the countenance of
their leader, while the eyes of all were
wet with tears. He then expressed
again his desire that each of them
should come and take his hand.
One after another followed, receiv-
ing and returning the affectionate
adieu of their commander, after which
he left the room in silence, followed
by his officers in procession to en-
bark in the barge that was to convey
him to Paulus Hook, now Jersey City.
AS he was passing through the light
infantry, drawn up on either side to
by his side on the terrible night of
his march to Trenton, stepped out of
the ranks and reached out his arms,
exclaiming: Farewell, my dear gen.
eral, farewelll" Washington seized
his hand most heartily, when the sol
diers forgot all discipline, rushed
toward their chief and bathed him with
their tears. The scene was like that
of a good patriarch taking leave of
his children and going on long jour
ney whence he might return no more.
Having entered the barge, he turned
to the weeping company upon the
wharf and, waving his hat, babe them
a silent adieu. They stood with heads
uncovered until the barge was hidden
from their view, when, in silent and
solemn procession, they returned to
the place where they had assembled.

attack. The siege of Yorktown was
a splendid thing-but the real test
came at Valley Forge. When at last
the hour came to fight, fighting was
easy by comparison with the waiting
that had preceded it,
On July 2, 1775, General Washing
ton arrived at Cambridge, Mass, ac-
companied by Major General Lee, his
next in command, and other officers,
and established headquarters in the
mansion subsequently occupied by
Longfellow. About nine o'clock on
the morning Of the following day, at
tended by a suitable escort, he pro-
ceeded from his headquarters to a
great elm tree near Harvard college.
Here the Continental forces were
drawn up in military order. Under
the shadow of the tree Washington
drew his sword as commander in chief
of the American army declaring that
it should never be sheathed until the
liberties of his country were estab-
lished.
Finally the day came for Washing
ton to take leave or his army-October
18, 1888. For the last time he assem-
bled them at Newburgh, N. Y, when
he rode out on the field and gave them
one of those paternal addresses which
so eminently characterized his rela-
tionship with his army.
But his final leave Of everything con-
nected with his military life was taken
on December 3, 1888, at Faunces' tav-
ern, New York city, Here he had re-
quested his officers in full uniform to
assemble. On entering the room and
finding himself surrounded by his old
companions in arms his agitated feel
ings overcame his usual self-control.
Every man arose with eyes turned
toward him. Filling a glass of wine
and lifting it to his lips, he rested his
benignant but saddened countenance

Save in Epirus, where Greek culture

Albanians of the hills write (when

Individual Albanians have, indeed,

Crispi came from the Albanian col

gifted of the Balkan peoples. Until

form, so that when applied to the
