Dear Frederick,
Some time ago the London work
ers sent an address to the Paris work
ers with reference to Poland, calling
upon them to take common action in
this matter.
The Parisians for their part sent a
deputation over here, headed by a
workman called ToIain, who was act
uaily labor candidate at the last elect
ion in Paris, and who is very nice
fellow. ellis companions were very
good fellows too.) A public meeting
was convened in st. Martins Hall for
Sept. 2S by Odger shoemaker, chair
man Of the local London Trades Coun-
Gil the council of all London trade
unions, and especially of the Suffrage
Propaganda Society of the London
trade unions, connected with Bright
and Cremer, stonemason and secre-
tary Of the stone masons' trade union.
(These two men brought about the
great meeting of the trade unions for
North America, under Bright, at the
St. James Hall, as also the Garibaldi
manifestation. A certain lie Lubez
was sent to me, asking if would par
ticipate on the part of the German
workers and especially if I would
send German speaker for the meet
ing, etc. l sent Eccarius, who mana
ged splendidly, whilst l assisted him

knew that on this occasion real
powers" both from London and Paris
would be figuring, and thus decided
to depart from my otherwise fixed
rule of declining all such invitations.
LIE Lubez is a young Frenchman,
that is, he is the thirties, but he was
brought up in Jersey and London,
speaks splendid English, and is an
excellent intermediary between the
French and English workers. He is a
music teacher, and has given French
lessons as well.
At the meeting, which was packed
to suffocation (for there is obviously
a revival in the working class at the
present time) the London union of
Italian workers was represented by
Major Wolff (Thurn-Taxis, Garibaldi's

a wild look and dishevelled his hair

The stranger looked convinced. He
put his arms around the detective and
caressed him.
Sure" he said in half apologetic,
half pleading tone, "come to my house
and | will change it for you"
The victory was HerIocks. He
looked an I-told-you-so look and
chuckled.
The strangers house was a large,
dark and gloomy building set in the
midst of a little park and enclosed
with rather heavy iron gates. This
was rather disappointing in view of
my having expected to be lead into a
cellar. However, it looked convincing.
The building cast fantastic shadows;

this must be the place where they

sell to strikers. Finally we stopped
in front of door with window such
as bank tellers usually have. Here
he opened the door and asked us to

This Pretty Girl Defies Age
By Using Ordinary Buttermilk
To Beautify Her Complexion
Tells Druggists not to take any ones
money unless this delightful new
vanishing Cream quickly shows
decided improvement.

Buttermilk Cream creates beauty
almost like magic. The most won
derful thing about it is the fact that
whilst 1t turns the dullest, most
lifeless complexion to radiant beau
ty and makes red or rough hands
or arms snowy white, yet there is
not the slightest sign of its use
after application. 1t actually van
ishes from sight and the most heat
ed atmosphere will not produce the
least shininess or greasiness of the
skin.
No matter whether you are troubled
with a poor complexion, wrinkles,
puffiness around the eyes, freckles,
crows feet or lines around the mouth,
ugly finger nails, or just simple
roughness Of the face, hands or arms
caused by wind or sun, you will find
that any or all of these troubles will
quickly disappear with the use of
Howard's Buttermilk Cream.

satisfaction, get a small quantity
