THE TURNING POINT,
Two Short Days to Decide
Whether Other Men Will
Join the Puddlers
-AT JONES & LAUGHLINS',
!g And a Strike be Declared in all De
$ partmenls of the Works.
JOINT MEETING HELD LAST EIGHT.
A Knotty Question That Takes Considerable
Thought and Discussion.
S0ETHS1DE HEECHANTS AEE ALAEMED
i
Committees from the puddlers and steel
workers' lodge of Jones & Laushlins' mills,
Southside, held a joint meeting with the fin
ishers, last night A conference will be held
with the firm to-morrow, and if a settlement
is not reached, a strike of all departments is
threatened.
The trouble at Jones and Laughlins'
Mills has 3t last reached a culminating
point, or, according to the bqst authority,
will reach that point to-morrow night. If
the firm has not stricken clause 3 out of the
present Amalgamated scale by that time,
unless some other action is taken, it is prom
ised that the whole mill will be declared on
strike and 1,400 men will lay down their
tools and walk out of the gate, not to re-enter
it until their demands are acceded to or the
trend of events results in some other settle
ment of the difficulty.
Yesterday was a day of intense excite
ment among the workingmen in Browns
town and the importance of the question un
der consideration and the suppresssd un
certainty as to the outcome were plainly
risible "on the faces of the men. Little
knots of begrimed laborers gathered here
and there on the street corners and talked
the matter over. One by one the groups dis
solved and their places were taken by
others, the same seriousness being main
tained. .THE APTEBXOOX MEETING.
In the afternoon Excelsior Lodge, of the
steel workers, held a long meeting, and the
whole question was discussed from begin
ning to end. It was agreed that the puddlers
had not been treated right, and that their
grievance was just, but the question in
volved is more than the indorsement of the
puddlers' action and joining them in their
strike. Such action meant a direct clash
. against the Amalgamated Association it
self, and must be an independent move.
The sentiment of the steel workers was
for upholding the puddlers in their more.
This was generally agreed on, but the mem
bers wished to sound the finishers on the
question, and whatever was done, they
would work in conjunction with them.
At last it was decided to appoint a com
mittee to meet with the finishers in the
evening, together with the representatives
ot the puddlers.
The meeting in the evening at Weaver's
Hall, corner Twenty-seventh and Sarah
streets, was a large and protracted one. The
men seemed to iully realize that they were
on the eve of an important action, and went
about the discussion and settlement of it in
a conservative and regular manner.
AK EABNEST CONFERENCE.
From the open windows, the sound of the
presiding officer's gavel as it called the
meeting to order, the voices of earnest
speakers, and now and then ap
plause as a point was wafted out
on the breeze, but only gave a slight in
dication of what was going on inside. This
same scene was kept np until a late hour,
with little change.
Now and then men came out to stretch
their legs, but nothing definite could be
learned until the meeting was about over.
It was then ascertained from members that
the lodge had decided to sustain the
puddlers in their recent move, but nothing
will be done rashly. It was decided to hold
a conference with the firm to-morrow,
and it the latter then fails to strike out
clause 3, of the Amalgamated scale, in je
gard to working hard iron for extra payon
the demand of a majority of the working
men at the furnaces. A strike will be the
result, unless the workingmen should come
to some other settlement of the difficulty,
which is not now in sight.
A meeting of the different committees
will be held to-day, but no indication will
be given of what will be done.
A QUESTION AS TO TIME.
According to the established rules of the
association, a strike cannot take place with
out three days' notice, and some of the men
seen last night said they conld not go out
until that time. Others said that as it was
au independent move the notice was not to
be considered.
The whole qnestion is one that has taxed
the brains of the brightest men in the lodges
involved. They have the alternative of
standing by whet they think is fair and
right or clashing with the laws of the asso
ciation, and the result of their decision is of
great importance, not only to themselves
and their association, but to the merchants
and public at large.
The merchants" on the Southside were yes
terday alarmed at the Drospect of a strike.
When news came to them that a strike was
imminent their alarm grew into specula
tions as to its effect and what they should do
to avert disaster. Jones & Laughlins' store
has "shut off" accounts with the puddlers
on strike, and unless they hare money they
must obtain their supplies from outside
firms, or or what? That's the question
that may arise.
THE CBOWNEB'S QUEST.
Four Violent Deaths Investigated and Two
Pemons Committed to Jail.
E. L. Elderkin was committed to jail yes
terday for criminal negligence in con
tributing to the death of little Harry Bern
hardt, who was killed by a cable car on
Penn avenue on July 12. Elderkin was the
driver of a wagon, and admitted that he
scared the boy off his wagon and he jumped,
directly in front ol the car and was killed.
Sadie Alexander was committed to jail for
trial for the murder of her babe, to which
she confessed, and whose body was found in
a vault in the rear ot 2016 Penu avenue.
A verdict of accidental death was rendered
in the case of Eugene O'Neill Carroll, aged
10 years, who was killed on Highland aTe
nue by being caught in Booth & Flinn'a
mixer.

voted on by a call of the roll. It resulted
in the adoption of the resolutions by a rote
of 47 ayes to 7 nays. Those who voted
"No" were J. J. Davidson, of Beaver;
John Berry, of Baden; William Shaner, o!
Beaver Falls; L. L. Oarson, of Beaver
Falls; Henrv Mornock, of North Sewick
ley township; Albert Lyon, of Ohio town
ship; B. L. Ewing, of Bacoon township. A
motion was made to make this vote unan
imous, and in the viva voce vote that was
taken there were only a few calls of No,
mating the expression practically unan
imous. A SPEEDT ADJOURNMENT.
Chairman Marshall announced that he
would appoint the committee contemplated
in the resolutions early next week, and
make tha names public through the news
papers. The committee then immediately
adjourned.
After the adjournment I asked Dr. Mc
Connell: "What do the resolutions mean
where they provide for the appointmentof
a committee to confer with similar commit
tees from other counties in the district 'with
a view of nominating a candidate lor Con
gress?"" "They mean preciselv what they say," re
plied the Doctor. "We do not recognize
Major McDowell as the nominee, and we
will now go ahead and arrange for the nomi
nation of another candidate."
"But if Mercer county refuses to with
draw McDowell, and if Lawrence county
refuses to withdraw its allegiance to Mc
Dowell, will you so ahead without them?"
"Yes, sir; we will nominate another can
didate without them. We can't afford to
ratify any nomination that was only made
with" the assistance of Jraud. If we can't
indorse him now, we can't indorse him
later."
TWO CANDIDATES POSSIBLE.
"Then, you mean to say that if Major Mc
Dowell does not withdraw, there will be
two Republican candidates for Congress be
fore the people next fall ?"
"That would be the result of the matter,
hut of course McDowell will have to with
draw or he will not be recognized as the
regular candidate. Bntler county's Eepub
lican Committee- is indignant, too, and at
their meeting next week, will probably join
us in this movement."
"Who will Beaver county favor as a
nominee?"
"I do not know."
"Will it be Congressman Townsend
again?"
"I wonld rather not answer any anestions
along this line. It will come no later.
Just now we must probe this corruption to
the bottom. The committee was bound to
take the action it did to-day. The newspa
pers have made it so hot for us by saying
that we would drop the matter, and stirred
the matter up to such an extent, that the
County Committee could not possibly ignore
the trouble without a further scandal."
MB. MILLEB TALES.
I asked ex-Congressman Miller, as he was
leaving for Mercer, how Major McDowell
and his Mercer county supporters would
feel about the actioj of Beaver county. Mr.
Miller replied: "I came to Beaver as a Re
publican of the Twenty-fifth Congressional
district, and for the purpose of noting the
action of the Eepublican County Committee
of Beaver. I am also a friend of Major
McDowell, the district nominee. I expressed
a desire to two of the members of the
committee here to make a statement of the
position of the Mercer county Republicans
on the Congressional question to the com
mittee, but I presume my request was not
brought officially to the "attention of the
Chairman or the committee. At all events,
I was not heard.
THE M'DCWELL POSITION.
"What I desired to say," continued Mr.
Miller, "was this: If the charges of bribery
were brought home to Major McDowell
directly or indirectly, or remotely, that he
would step down. I hare positive assur
ances. that Major McDowell neither directly
nor indirectly, by himself or any other per
son, paid any consideration, or promised
any consideration, for his nomina
tion. I am further positively as
sured that he did not know
that anything, or any consideration either,
was to be paid, or w'as paid, to secure his
nomination, and that the first intimation he
had of any such was the publication made
in the papers since the nomination.
"Both Major McDowell and the Mercer
county Eepublicans desire the fullest inres
tigation, and if such investigation results
in placing any fault or blame upon him, he
will step down. What we complain of is
that Major McDowell should suffer for
any other person's fault
NOT GOOD POLITICS.
"I do not think the action of the Bearer
committee is good politics. They prejudged
the nominee without a hearing, and con
demned him without an inrestigation.
What I would have advised, and did ad
rise with two or three Beaver Iriends, was
to simply appoint a committee of investiga
tion. J
"If the other counties take similar action
and give Mercer county Eepublicans no
opportunity to be heard, mv personal belief
is that Mercer county will support Mc
Dowell. Our people are a unit for him.
Every Eepublican paper in the
county is supoorting him beartilv.
We believe McDowell is innocent
of any corrupt practices in this matter,
and, believing this, our people will support
him and give him the lareest vote erer
siren to a Eepublican in Mercer county.
Of course we are anxious to harmonize all
differences, and shall
MAKE EVEEr EFFOBT
to do so, but if we fail to accomplish, this,
and no charges are successfully brought
home to McDowell, then we will stand by
him, if not another county in the district
does."
Mr. Miller is much oflended because he
was not admitted to the committee meeting.
He says he feels sure that if he had been
permitted to make the authorized statemsnt
to the committee that if anything could bo
Tiroven to show even the remotest knowledge
on the part of McDowell that money was
used in the convention he (McDowell)
would withdraw. If he could have told the
committee this before the resolutions were
offered, he ielt sure they would never hare
adopted the first resolution, which repudiates
McDowell.
"The other resolutions are all right," con
cluded Miller. "It's proper to hare an in
restigation, and no person would aid one
quicker than Major McDowell."
THE ACTION NECESSAEY.
"Well, he ought to hare said so sooner,"
dryly remarked Mr. Harragh. "We had to
take this action to-day. The newspapers
were hinting that Bearer county's com
mittee would quietly drop the affair. It
was our duty to pass the resolutions we did,
and now we should stand by them. They
do not strike personally at Major Mc
Dowell. They do not say he paid the
money. They simply repudiate a nomina
tion which was secured with bribes."
Neither ofthe three delegates to the re
cent convention wbo accepted bribes were
around to-day. Nor was Dr. McKinnev,
wuu tutu uiciu, pmeui. .neiiner Senator
Quay or Congressman Townsend had yet
arrived from Washington City, although the
former was expected on an evening train.

Shabon, July 19. Ex-Congressman
Samuel H. Miller, of Mercer, who made the
unsuccessful attempt to explain Mercer
county's position to-day in the Bearer
County Eepublican meeting, was the most
interesting personage in Sharon to-night.
He had a conference with Major McDowell
as soon as he arrived in Sharon, and was
still in company with several friends talk
ing to the Major at 10:30 to-night, when a
call was made upon the latter.
"What do you think of the action of the
Beaver connty convention this afternoon in
repudiating your nomination?" was asked,
"I hare only this to say," said Mr. Mc
Dowell, "if a committee had been called to
act for the district, Mercer county would
hare been intensely willing to act with the
other counties. As they refnse us a hear
ing in the committee, we cannot recognize
their claims for future action, and we will
abide by the issue as already made by fho
district"
"Then yon will not withdraw?"
"No, sir; I am willing to submit'my case
to the roters of the Twenty-fifth district on
election day, and will abide by the result.
I am in the field to stay, and think under the
circumstances I should not withdraw. I
receired the nomination from the Repub
lican roters of the Twenty-fifth district, and
have no reason for declining it."
"Should a new conference be called and a
new nominee be appointed, you will still re
main in the field?"
"Yes, sir; I will still be the district nom
inee, and will fight it ont on that line. So
far as I am concerned there was nothing
irregular in my nomination."
"To what influence do yon accredit the
action of the Bearer County Committee to
day?" The Major smiled and said: "On the
question I cannot talk. It is not the issue
just nbw, and would not be proper for me to
say anything about it Ton can sayhow
ever, that I am a candidate to the end."
Eepublicans in Mercer county indorse the
Major's action in relusing-to withdraw, and
say that his rote in November will show
that he has taken the right view ot the
matter. To-day's meeting is the one topic
of conversation to-night, and the more out
spoken Eepublicans are predicting Dela
mater's defeat In Mercer county if a new
nominee is placed in the field. The State
ticket is already seriously involved as a re
sult of the present fight.

- rSPECIAL TELEOBAM TO TDI DISPATCH. 1
New Castle, July 19. The news that
Bearer county had repudiated tbe nomina
tion of Major McDowell caused but little
excitement here this afternoon. It was ex
pected from the first. Coilnty Delectire
Marshall, who arrested Messrs. Tate and
Shaffer, the alleged bribed delegates, re
turned home this erening. Downing was
not at home and was not arrested. Tate and
Shaffer waived a hearing Bnd gare
bail for the September conrt here.
William B. Wallace, Esq., charged
with bribery, has not been arrested. The
Chairman of the Eepublican Committee of
Lawrence county said this erening: "There
will be a meeting of the Connty Committee
either the first or second Saturday in Au
gust to nominate a candidate for Associate
Judge, and to arrange a new committee. I
cannot say what action, if any, the com
mittee will take in this matter."
Colonel O. S. Jackson, Lawrence county's
candidate for Congress, was seen, and said:
"I prefer not to say anything
at present, as I do not know
what was done." Major J.
B. Brown, ex-member of the Legislature,
said: "If Butler county follows in the foot
steps of Bearer, as I understand she will do,
and Lawrence and Mercer stick together, it
will hare the effect of electing a Democratic
'Congressman in this district, I think now,
as I did at first, that the men in Bearer
county who started this,and the County Com
mittee wbo carried it through, acted rery
unwisely. For the sake of the party I am
sorry." '
George W. McCracken, who was Chair
man of the convention here, thinks that the
action of Beaver county will not amount to
much. He said: "One prominent Eepub
lican will raise a campaign fund, go down
to Bearer and defeat Dick Quay. It can be
done as sure as you lire." The general dis
position of the Republicans appears to ue to
insist on McDowell running, and to punish
Bearer county for lack of faith.

WASHlNQTON.'July 19. Senator Alli
son insisted that the Senate should remain
in session until an unusually late bnr thB
evening, to pass the sundry civil appropria
tion bill, in order to clear the deck for the
tariff battle, which is to begin on Monday.
An amendment to the bill which provoked
considerable discussion, was one appropri
ating 51,000 for aid to the Industrial Chris
tian Home Association, in Utah Territory.
Mr. Cockrcll inquired as to the total num
ber of inmates that hare been sheltered at
the Home (which was established for the
protection of Mormon women desiring to
escape from polygamy), and gave it as the
result of his information that it had nerer
had, in all, more than 20 inmates, including
children.
did not appbeciate it.
Mr. Edmunds stated the pmrpuse of Con
gress in aiding the work of Christian women
in Utah to save Mormon women from the
slarery of polygamy. He admitted that not
many Mormon women took adTantage of it,
but said the building was an open invita
tion to them, and that he should be glad to
hare the people of the United States help
the Home for that reasonaIone.
Mr. Cockrell stated it as his belief that
there were no persons at the Home except
those who were receiving salaries from the
United States.
Mr. Vest said that he had recently seen a
statement published to the effect that there
never had been a dozen inmates in that
Home, for which the Government had ap
propriated 550,000, and now Congress was
asked to appropriate $4,000 a year for no
other purpose whatever than to pay salaries
for a lot of people who had managed to ob
tain an appropriation nnder the pretense of
philanthropy. It had been started as an asy
lum for poor deluded Mormon women who
wanted to escape from polygamy, but it
seemed that they did not want to escape. It
was a notorions fact, he said, that the
women of Utah were more opposed. to doing
away with polygamy than the men were.
A peeveeted belioious sentiment
That was easily explained. It arose, not
from sensuality or from any degraded feel
ing, but trom religious sentiment. If one
wanted to find absolute religious enthusi
asm, he would find it among women. The
great Architect of the universe had con
structed them in that way. The essence of
the female nature was dependence in this
world and the next. He had asked a woman
in Utah whether she was a plural wife.
She said yes; that she was a third wife; that
that was according to the Bible, and that
her husband could not go to heaven if he
did not practice polygamy when he was
able to take care of sereral wires.
Senator Pomeroy had had the idea that
suffrage ought to be given to the women of
Utah so that they could escape from polyg
amy. They had got it, and every one of
them had voted the polygainjstj ticket.,.
Anen tne oenaie uau mrueu arounu, uncier
the leadership of the Senator from Ver
mont (Mr. Edmunds), and taken the
suffrage away trom them.
Mi. 'Edmunds admitted that tbe women
of Utah had voted for the hieraichy, but it
was on the same principle that colored men
voted the Democratic ticket probably
from religious enthusiasm.
A diffebence op opinion.
Mr. Vest Tt is my impression that the
religious enthusiasm of ihe colored man is
always in the interest of the Eepublican
party. When a colored man is found voting
the Democratic ticket he is ostracised on
religious principles by his own associates
and by white Eepublicans.
In the course of the discussion, Mr. Vest
resented the drift of some remarks of Mr.
Edmunds as to Mr. Vest's uniform opposi
tion to anti-Mormon legislation. He said
that he was as much opposed to polvgamy
as any living man, but there was a line be
yond which he did not propose to go. The'
essence of liberty was liberty of conscience.
He had no right to put himself on a pedestal
and say that no man should believe differ
ently from him. If the Mormons had the
absurd opinion that polygamy was right,
as a religious matter, they should be al
lowed to enjoy that opinion, but it they un
dertook to put it in practice where Congress
had jurisdiction, Congress should eradicate
it.
No man had tbe right to put him (Mr.
Vest) in a false position because he had not
seen proper to vote forwcertaia bills.
ONLY AN INTIMATION.
Mr. Edmunds disclaimed all idea of im
puting anything wrong to Mr. Vest. Ete
had merely intimated that that Senator had
persistently yated against every proposition
to deal with polygamy.
Mr. Plumb Expressed the opinion that the
Home for 'Women, in Utah, was an utter
failure, and said that he had found that this
was the ge'neral new in Salt Lake. He re
garded tbe expenditure for it as a great
waste of public money.
Mr. Edmunds intimated that the Senator
from Kansas, like other righteous men who
had gone into strange places, had fallen
among persons who did not tell all the
truth. He knew that there was a certain
opposition to the Women's Home, at Salt
Lake, because tbe property was wanted for
speculatire'purpoaes.
Mr. Plumb said that Mr. Edmunds' in
sinuation was somewnat characteristic of
that Senator. He (Mr. Edmunds) saw no
motire in any one which was not, compared
with his own, rile. The persons whom he
(Mr. Plumh) had seen in Utah were persons
who had gone there from Kansas, and it
was the universal talk among them that the
whole thing was a failure. As to the idea
or speculation, he did not see how there
could be any speculation in it. as the build-
Zing covered the entire lot
A LITTLE IEONY,
He had no doubt, howerer (this was
spoken ironically) that it there was any
speculation in it, he (Mr. Plumb) would be
part of it. The Senator from Vermont was
entitled to his own rery amiable opinion of
him, and he reserved his opinion of the
Senator.
Mr. Edmunds If I sajd anything that
cast the slightest personal reflection upon
the Senator from Kansas, I withdraw it
with all sincerity.
Mr. Plumb I do not wish the Senator to
withdraw it. I wish him to retain it. I.
wish him, if he had such an opinion, to
keep it.
Mr. Edmunds If I had such an opinion,
I would certainly retain it until I saw rea
son to change it; but I cannot retain what I
do not hare. The Senator from Kansas has
worried himself into a state of mind con
cerning a remark of mine which was one
just as honorable and considerate of him as
it could be of myself or any other person.
Alter further discussion the amendment
was agreed to. Among the other amend
ments agreed to were the following:
Inserting an item of $8,745 for pay
ment to the widow ol the late Chief Justice
Waite, that sum being equal to the balance
of his year's salary.
MONEY FOB BEAVEE FALLS.

The amendment as to tbe proposed Latin
American Memorial Library was taken up,
tbe question being on Mr. Hawley's motion
to amend it by striking out' tbe provision
for a building to cost $500,000, and by sub
stituting a provision for a section of the
Library of Congress to be known as the
Latin-American Memorial library, and ap

THE IBBIGATION TEOUBLE.
The bill was then reported to the Senate,
and all the amendments aereed to in com
mittee of the whole were agreed to in bulk,
except those as to tbo irrigation survey,
which were reserved for special votes. The
discussion of the irrigation question was
again started and occupied about an hour's
time, and when it closed the amendments
were agreed to.
Mr. Edmunds moved to strike out of the
item for a viaduct at the Eock Island
bridge, the proviso repealing the law that
requires the citv of Itock Island to con
tribute one-half the expense. Mr. Allison
offered, in view ot the lateness of the hour,
to accept the amendment, and it was agreed
to. Mr. Edmunds then moved to strike out
the item of $101,000 for tbe further develop
ment of the water power pool at Eock
Island. Mr. Cullom argued' against the
motion and told Mr. Edmunds emphatic
ally that it would not be assented to, as his
other motion had been, lor the sake of facili
tating tbe passage of the bill.
JUST TO SATE TIME.
Mr. Edmunds offered to withdraw his
motion if the paragraph were so modified
as to make it subject to the conditions of
the act of October 2, 1888, relating to the
reconstruction of the Government dam at
Eock Island, and to the Moline Water
Power Compan! Mr. Cullom assented to
the insertion oi that provision, and the para
graph was amended accordingly. The bill
was then passed.
The tariff bill was taken up as unfinished
business, and Mr. Aldrich cave notice that
he would move to take it up at 2 o'clock on
Monday. The Senate then at 8:45 adjourned
till Monday at noon.
A NEW BOND POLICY.
WINDOM ANNOUNCES ANOTHER PLAN
"FOR PURCHASES.
He Sara Tbat There li Any Amount of
Snrplns Money in Ibe Treasury Avail
ableThe Amount Bought Will Depend
on tbe Figures.
Washington, July 19. Secretary Win
dom issued the following circular this aft
ernoon in regard to bond pnrchases:
Bv virtue ot tbe authority contained in sec
tion 3694 of tbe Revised Statutes, notice is
hereby given that on Thursday, July 2i, at
noon, proposals will be received in th vfflce of
tbe Secretary of the Treasury for the sale to
tbe Government of United States bonds of the
acts of J uly 14, 1870, and January 20. 1871, for tbo
purpose of supplving, in part, tbe require
ments of the sinking fond for tbe current
fiscal year. Proposals should state tbe fpecitto
character of tbe bonds offered, whether cou
pon or registered, rand must be for tbe sale of
the bonds with accrued interest to and includ
ing tbe day of sale. Tbe right Is reserved to
reject any or all proposals for tbe sale ot
l)onds,if itisthonghttobe for the interest of the
Government to do so. The circular of April 17.
18S8, under which daily purchases ot bonds
have heretofore been made Is hereby rescinded.
William Windom, Secretary.
The Secretary afterward made the follow
ing statement in response to inquiries in re
gard to his bond-buring policy:
Tbe explanation of my action to-day is sim
ply this: Owing to the recent very light offer
ings of bonds tbe surplus has rapidly accumu
lated until now It is In round numbers 130,
000,000. exclusive of 522,000,000 fractional silver
coin. The recent act of Congress transfer
ring $35,000,000 from the fund for redemption
of national bank notes makes a large portion
of this fund also available for tbe redemption
of bonds. The department is therefore in a
position to retire a considerable amount of tbe
interest-bearing obligations of the Govern
ment, and tbo advertisement issued to-day is
simply intended to invite tbe bondholders to
name a price at which tbey are willing to sell
to tbe Government. Tbe amount to be taken
will depend largely upon the prices at which
they may be offered.
WILL CELEBRATE LABOR DAY.
Tbe Bnlldlngf Trades' Conncil Appoints a
Committee and Transact! a Good Deal
of Routine Bailnet Admliilool of the
Electrical Union Tbo Seal Adopted.
The Building Trades' Council met last
evening, President Jones in the chair. It
was decided to admit ithe Electrical wire
men, but not the dynamo men. The former
are considered as connected with the build
ing trades by reason of stringing wires in
houses in co urse of erection, but the dynamo
men are classeed with stationary engineers
and firemen, and therefore not eligible.
A committee of nine was appointed to
make arrangements for the celebration of
Labor Day. It consists of M. P. Carrick,
A. "M. Swartz, E. Williamson, John Brew,
D. Mcintosh, W. Woodward, C. Corts, E.
E. Stewart and John Griffith. Nearly all
the local unions of the council reported fa
rorably to turning out on tbat day. Invita
tions to participati were extended to all the
assemblies of the Amalgamated Association,
Elint Glassworkers, etc.
In the matter of the strike of the carpen
ters in Wilkinsburg against the non-union
men employed and non-union lumber used
by James A. Wilson, contractor, the brick
layers have notified him that after July 26
they would no longer work unless the diffi
culties would be settled. The council rati
fied the action of the bricklayers and de
cided" tbat after that date no trades working
for Mr. Wilson will be recognized.
A number of important matters relating
to the hod carriers and slaters working on
tha. buildings of the Pittsburg Traction
Company and the new postoffice, were re
ferred to the Executive Committee.
The council also adopted for a seal the
emblem of the Federation of Labor, a globe
with clasped hands and the figure "8."
The hall of the council has been fitted up
in a handsome manner, with offices and as
semhlv rooms, and about $300 has been ex
pended in making them pretty and com

series on "Dress" by Prof. Frederick Starr.
(SFXCUX. TSLIOBJLM TO THE DISPATCH.
Lake Chautauqua, July 19. "I am
so puzzled about it I do not know what to
do."
"What is the matter?"
"Why yon see there are six hours of
Bible study, and I must attend them all,
and the morning lecture comes at the same
time and I do not know what to do."
This is a sample of the person who tries to
take in all of the countless attractions of the
Assembly grounds. A heterogeneous mass of
incongruous and dissimilar events classes,
lectures, studies, conceits is continually
floating before his mind and, at tbe end, all
are tired out, having gained practically
nothing for her hard work. The lastwe had
had heard of the individual in question, she
had succeeded in persuading some one to
lend bis notes to her for the entertainment
she conld not connect on her daily time
table.
No one cared to sit in the hammocks or
loll in tree shades to-day, for it was very
chilly sort of a cold air that makes you
pull your coat' closely about yon and keep
still In some warm, cozy part of the parlor.
EXISTING ON $1 0 PER 'WEEK.
At 11 o'clock Mrs. Emma P. Ewing,
whose lectures have become so popular with
Chautauquans, spoke on "Choice Fair for
$150 a Week." "In the summer of 188T,
while in Iowa, I kept a strict account ol tbe
food used on our lamily table during a
period of seven weeks. Our family con
sisted of four adult persons, and we nsed
chickens, beef, Iamb, real, eggs, hutter,
cream, milk, vegetables, melons, grape3, in
abundance, and all of the best quality.
The cost was exactly $42 ?6 a week for
the four, or $1 20 a week lor each person.
This covered tbe cost of ererything except
the hired help, which increased the cost to
$2 25 per week for each of us.
"At a laterdate in Boston I referred in one
of my talks to my experiment in Iowa, and
asserted tbat a familyof four, dispensing
with hired help, could live on the fat of the
land for $1 75 or-$2 per week. This state
ment was scoffed at by the Boston press, aud
ridiculed as extremely absurd.
" 'It mfght be possible to lire thus cheaply
in Iowa, where prorisions can be bought for
a song, but in the East, where prices are
high, such a possibility was entirely out of
the question.' Yet at the rery time my
wise critics were employed in ridiculing my
assertions, I was demonstrating them right
under their noses in the department ol
domestic economy in the Young Woman's
Christian Association.
ETEIT IK BOSTOjr.
"Forty-eight years ago the learned Dr.
Lardcer asserted that it was impossible to
construct a ressel of sufficient capacity to
carry the coal needed to "run It by steam
across the Atlantic In spite of his asser
tion they do it. And in spite of journalistic
assertions to the contrary, choice fare can be
furnished for $1 50 per week even in
Boston,
"Instead of givine yon tbe bills of fare and
cost of material of this association during
the months of my connection with it, I will
go further and give them under the manage
ment ot my successor and pupil, Mrs. Clara
Hayes, who,. by the way, bears the degree of
M. D. E. Master of Domestic Economy.
Her statement shows tbat during Novem
ber and December the food, materia, tuel
and ice for tbe board of 12 and for numer
ous class lessons cost only $1 89 per week.
These are samples of her bills of fare:
November 6, Breakfast Apples, crapes, veal
chops, baked potatoes, bread, batter and cof
fee. November 9. Dinner Cream of celery soup,
roast beef, sweet potatoes, browned white po
tatoes, baked sour apples, Washington pad
ding, coffee.
November 9, Supper Chicken salad, French
rolls, corn dodgers, ginger cakes, tea, coffee.
These are average meals. Her statement
sustains all my assertions and her record in
economy is, I think, even better than my
own.
SPECIMEN BILES OP PAEE.
The lollowine bills of fare are average
specimens of meals served to our family of
four for one week in April, 1888, bread,
butter and milk which are always on our
table are omitted:
Breakfast Oranges, creamed codfish, boiled
potatoes, poached eegs on toast, coffee.
Dinner Pea sonp, roast beef, brown pota
toes, scallopped tomatoes, snow podding.
Supper Farinos and cream, French rolls,
strawberry jam, ginger wafers, tea.
What do you suppose it cost? Only $1 75
each. Every family in the land can, for a
similar sum, have a good bill of fare every
day of every week in tbe year if the lady of
the family is a provident housekeeper and
understands how to select and prepare food.
If I could at any hotel, restanrant or
boardine house cet as well cooked.
nutritious and satisfactory fare at even four
times the cost I should be tempted to try
boarding house life and conld even enduro
Bellamy's Paradise for lazy women for a
limited period.
You will notice that there is little pie,
pudding or cake on my bills of fare. These
things are not omitted on account of their
cost, but for the simple reason that with a
variety of pure, wholesome food properly
cooked people lose their appetite lor trash,
and prefer to dispense with it and eat more
digestible and nutritious food.'
If one chooses to subsist on water, coarse
bread, pat meal mush and the like it can be
done at trifling cost, but such subsisting can
scarcely be called living. The average man
and woman wants and needs choico fare,
and the lowest cost of such it is my desire to
estimate to-day.
HO"W THEY LITE AT PUEDUE UNIVESITY
For three and a half weeks last fall I had
charge of the boarding hall at Pardue Uni
versity. Fitty-seven persons took their
meals in the hall. The supply of food was
liberal and the quality of the very best. The
bread was all made of the best brands of
patent flour. The butter was all gilt-edged,
fresh and delicious The coffee was excel
lent and with abundance of cream.
Ererything was first-class and at a
cost of $1 50 apiece per week. I confidently
assert that no better fare was serred last
September on anyprirare family table in
any State in tbe Union than was serred to
those students at Pardue University. In a
magazine article Bishop Vincent has said
"If I were a boy, with my man's wisdom, I
should eat wholesome food and no other."
In the light of this declaration, I doubt not
that the Bishop would pronounce the fare
which costs the students at Pardue $1 50
per week, last such food as he would eat,
were he a boy again, from Sunday morning
till Saturday night.
WHY BOABD COMES HIGH.
I assert and can demonstrate practically
that choice fare can be furnished to as small
a number as 50 for $1 50 a week with a fair
margin of profit, at least $2 50 per day, and
when students in our colleges pay from
$2 25 to $3 00 per week there is a radical
wrong somewhere. Our commissary depart
ments are defective. There is negligence,
stupidity and leakage in the kitchen.
Boarders everywhere aro charged Jwhat
ought to be remunerative prices even if choice
fare were serred. Why so many failures in
the business? Simply because those who at
tempt it do not understand tbe elementary
principles of the businessr They leare the
marketing and cooking to incompetent
servants. What wonld you think ofa busi
ness man who so neglected the details of his
business? There are half a million students
in the cnuntrv paying $1 per week too much
for indifferent board 520,000.000 a year
thrown away. Go further. There are 10,
000,000 boarders in the United States suf
ferine the same loss. Heie there are $520,
000,000 thrown away erery year. How long
will this state of things continue?
BAYXE3' HONEST MAST.
Two elegant selections of song by the
Harvard Quartet very pleasantly opened
the first entertainment of the afternoon.
Georce Vincent then stepped forward and
introduced Dr.- Emery J. Haynes, of Bos
ton, as the modern Diogenes, whose hobby
was "The Honest Man," and who addressed
the audience upon this subject. "We talk
so much about tbe good life, the religious
life, and this talk goes on through the world
without any effect. Take up some definite
thonght and labor for its end and success.
An honest man is be, whom we can believe
when he speaks. Some men are like lead,
who, when they come in contact
with others, turn things black, while
others glisten like silver, ne that
made the ey shall see. He that made tbe
ear shall hear. It is foolish to think that
we can do anything without discovery, lor
there is One who sees and hears everything.
The foundation and 'consideration of our
every act should be "seen." There are
ghosts in every man's heart. He is secretly
and qnietly tortured with the fact.I am
seen, I am known. Erery man who is hap
py says with joy. 'Thou seest, thon
knowest.
ALL CHILDBEN LIE KA.TUBALLY.
"It is self-defense. It is animalism. When
the child grows older he relies on himself
whether he tell the truth or not. Every
tbings rests with the young man and young
woman. The things that men lire by are
acquired before they are 30 years of age.
Young men that are doing the work, who
fought the battle of Marathon and sared
Greece; a little band of yonng men who
fought the battle of Thermonylte and
saved the, civilization of the West;
a small army of young men.
Cicero held all Some in his hands when he
was 33. Julius Cresar was only 17 when he
attracted the attention of the Imperial City.
Napoleon had not reached 30 when he
crossed the Alps. John Wesley held all
England in his hands while yet a young
man. General Grant was only 43 when he
became Commander in Chief of the Army
ol the United States. Edison was hardly
past boyhood when he conceived the idea ot
the two messages running the opposite way
upon a single wire.
THE PEEIOD OP ACHIEVEMENT.
"How is it that one man succeeds in life
while another makes a fool of himself? It is
in the man. He must be honest and sincere
himself. Like likes like. He must choose
sni generis. Lore is one of the great factors
of success and happiness. Young man, no
matter how muscular, how intellectual you
are, how b!o;soming your hopes, remember
the mother ana lather who love
you as fervidly as when a child. Men
think tbey know it all and think they want
it all as the next corollary. No matter what
yon lose do not lose your heart. 'Honesty
is the best policy' is an old saw that nerer
cut a stick off yet. Be honest for the sake
of honesty and of God. Do the thing and
do it well. Do the godlike; do it from the
highest motire and may the Lord grant you
a place in the better world."
Dr. Haynes is a rapid, .extemporaneous
speaker, easy and graceful in his move
ments on the platform and pleasing to
hear. Each sentence Is simple and forcible;
each argument clear, and he deals in no
wide range generalities or particulars, un
less it be a graphically told story to illus
trate the cogency of his reasoning.
THE AMEBICA1T SCHOOL AT ATHENS.
At 5 o'clock Prof. W. E. Waters de
- lirered a most interesting lecture on the
"American School at Athens." It has
long been the opinion of American students
of Grecian literature and archaelogy that
we must study Greece itself. This opinion
gradually deepened into a conviction. Soon
eminent scholars became fervid in their ad
vocacy of American School at Athens for
the study of the inexhaustible treasuries of
Greece. Preliminaries were soon begnn
in form of a called meeting of those inter
ested. At this assembly statements and plans
were drawn np and a circular letter
sent to a large number of he most influen
tial colleges in the'United States. October
1, 1882, the proposed sci ool became an
actnal existence, supported by nine prom
inent American colleges. The institution
began under favorable auspices. Several
students were entered tbe first year with the
celebrated Prof. Goodwin as director. A
good building was secured, and a valuable
library of 1,000 volumes. The supporting
colleges the second year numbered 14, and
an appropriation of $3,500 was made. The
membership now amounted to seyen en
thusiastic and energetic men. Each made a
specialty of some department and was
indefatigable in his explorations. Each
prepared an elaborate thesis for publica
tion, thus giving American students the
benefit of their investigations.
THE PLAN OF WOBK IS YABIED,
readings, discussions, lectures by the di
rector and excursions into the surrounding
country for original investigations. In tha
course of the few years of its existence the
reputation of tbe school was favored by the
constant accessions to its library; by the
high grade of work done and by tbe charac
ter of the directors wbo governed it. More
over, tbe Grecian Government had
with great generosity presented a valuable
site for the erection of a building
more suitable. One was erected which i an
honor to the institution. It is Oriental in
structure, with flat roof and open conrt Its
accommodations are ample. Besides the
sleeping and study rooms are a photograoh
gallery, library and guest chambers. Steps
hare been made to secure a permanent di
rector and endowment. Fortv thousand dol
lars hare already been raised. In tbe eight
years of its history only CO students hare
been catalogued, but much. has been gained.
The whole subject ot Grecian sciences, arts
and archeology has received a thrilling im
petus. The enthusiasm ot the students who
have been drinking at the fountain head is
as magnetic as the light.
THE EVENING SESSIONS.
At 7 o'clock the graduates and under
graduates of the college held a meeting in
the Chautauqua Literary and Social Circle
building. Points of interest were d iscussed
and a permanent organization formed.
In tbe evening at 8 o'clock Frederick
Starr continued his lectures on "Dress,"
showing up the Illustrations by means of
stereoptican views. The professor was as
interesting and spicy as ever and held the
closest attention of the audience throughout.
He always scores some new points, has some
new theory, or else has found one.
Colonel J. M. Schoonmaker, of Pittsburg,
stopping at the Kent House, LaSewood,
gave his friends a boating party on the
yacht Grenhurst to-day. In the evening
tbe party partook of a splendid banquet at
Hotel Greenhurst.

Beblin, Jnly 19. The qnestion of
Pnnce Bismarck's right to dirnlge directly
or suggestiTely through internews his
knowledge of State affairs acquired while
he was a Minister, will be decided imme
diately upon the Emperor's return. Allu
sions appearing in the Hamburger iVacA
richten to Sir E. Morier, as again acting for
a higher personage in supplying the press
with elements to attack Prince Bismarck,
disclose a desire of the Prince to
publicly implicate Empress Frederics: in
plotting against him. The ex-Empress has
just intensified his anger by warning him
that if the report is true that he is preparing
his memoirs, he must publish none of her
letters of her husband's without her consent,
and intimating indirectly that he would be
prosecuted if be failed to comply. Forth
with the Prince selected from the list of ap
plicants for an interview with him the cor
respondent of the Dresdtner Xachrichten, a
paper notorious for its hostility to Empress
Frederick, and accorded him dn interview
which lasted several hours.
WILL SEAL THE OLD MAN'S MOtrKH.
The official expectation is that the Em
peror will direct the application to Prince
Bismarck of the rescript which the Prince
prepared after the Von Arnim trial, order
ing the Ministers of State to take an oath
not to publish anything relating to State
business without permission from the Sov
ereign. Other prorisions of the rescript
gire validity to the actions of Empress
Frederick.
At a secret meeting of Prince Alexander
of Battenberg and Prince Ferdinand of Bul
garia at Eger, in Bohemia, Prince Ferdi
nand asked for an explicit assurance that
Prince Alexander would not return to Bul
garia. He also asked what meaning was to
be attached to his adoption of Major
Panitza's child. He said he felt it to be
useless to continue his struggles to
maintain himself as rnlerat Sofia if Prince
Alexander was to be his rival. Prince
Alexander protested that he had no ambi
tion to return to Bulgaria. Panitzas' boy,
he explained, was his godson, and the adop
tion of the boy had nothing to do with
politics. He advised Prince Ferdinand to
return to his post and govern constitu
tionally, and he promised that if war shonld
break out he would serve in the Bulgarian
army in any capacity.
AFFAIBS IS THE EAST AT A CRISIS.
Emperor William has announced that he
will return to Wilhelmsharen from his trip
in Norwegian waters on Jnly 26. Ministers
Du Vernois and Miqucl will meet him
f. thereiiThe Relchzanselger last night declared
tbat the Emperor s plans for his trip had not
been altered owing to the political situa
tion, but the facts contradict the official
statement. Arrangements were made for
his royage to extend a week longer. Affairs
in the East are hastening to a crisis, and
this caused Emperor William to advance
the date of his conference with the Czir.
Connt ron Schouvaloff, the Bucsian Am
bassador to Berlin, wbo is now in St. Peters
bnrg, has sent Chancellor ron Capriri tt
formal intimation that the Czar will receive
Emperor William on Ausust 10. Tha
great maneuvers to which Emperor Will
iam has been invited will begin on August
7 aud last for two weeks.
EESULT OP THE INTEKVIEWS.
The ovoe Yremya says that the position
in Armenia and Bulgaria will remain in
statu quo, as far as Eussian action is'con
cerned, until the imperial interriews are
OTer. Emperor William will probably
make a briet risit to England before start
ing from Kiel for Cronstadt.
The original programme of a reception in
St. Petersburg was prepared with a riew to
the Emperor's presence. The character of
the conference, involving a chance of the
Emperors parting on hostile terms, caused a
change, and the German Empreii, although,
eager to accompany her husband, will re
main at home.
The opposition of France to the English,
agreements abates under tbe prospective ar
rangements, in which the foreign office here
acquiesces. The French claims to a sphere
of influence from Senegal to Lake Tchad
will be submitted to a Commission on De-
limitation, composed of German, English
and French officials.
OBJECT TO OEEMAN BEPEESENTATION.
M. Eibot, the French Minister of For
eign Affairs, objected to German represen
tation on the commission, on the ground
that the disputed territories from the Niger
to Lake Tchad did not tonch German inter
ests. Chancellor Von Caprivi and Lord
Salisbury declining tbus to admit to be
nugatory an article of the agreement deal
ing with the Anglo-Gerrrran trade in tha
countries drained by the Niger, M. Eibot
was constrained to assent.
The German Chancellor's official memor
andum on the agreement ii ready for issue
as soon as the English Parliament ratifies
the cession of Heligoland. It declares that
tbe Government sympathizes with the
German rezrets over the apparent extension
ot English influence in East Africa. At
the same time it maintains that the im
