tBV CAT.LE TO THE DISrATCH.
IiOXBOx; July 4. (Copj righted) The
proceedings of the Royal Labor Commission
have so far read more like the record of an
amateur debating society than anything
else. Sensible men predicted that if the
commission sat in open court, the 'witnesses,
instead of giving useful evidence, -would
make speeches and air fads. The prophecy
has been amply justified by the facts. On
Thursday, for instance, the chief -witness
was Henry Quelch, a Socialist leader,
known among his friends on account of his
vitriolic eloquence as "The Tyrant
Queller." He made a series of speeches in
the most approved Hyde Park style and ir
ritated Chairman Lord Derby almost to
madness. It was probably the first time
Quelch had met a lord, and he made the
most of his opportunity, rolling off his
tongne revolutionary rhetoric and econom
ical heresies -with prodigious prodigality.
Had the orator been in Hyde Park Lord
Derby could have run away, or called a
policeman to protect him; but neither re
source -was open to him upon this occasion.
Once only did His Lordship manage to get
in a word edgeways and Quelch promptly
Russia -will be prohibited and possibly other
cereals. During the past fortnight the
weather in France and England considera
bly improved the growing crops. In Portu
gii, however, a demand for remittances to
nglandto pay for wheat has assisted to
advance the premium on sovereigns; while
in Spain an agitation similar to the
movement in Germany has been started for
the reduction of the duties on cereals.
The Indian monsoon this year is about a
fortnight late. The failure of the winter
rains, combined with lave and light summer
rains, is causing much anxiety. It is still
too early to predict any widespread failure
of crops in India, but if the present condi
tion continues 10 or 15 days longer there
will be great cause for apprehension.
The weekly statements of the European
banks show the decreases in reserve usual
at this time of the year, the increase in the
Imperial Bank of Germany amounting to
2,200,000. Money and discounts are ab
normally low in London, but are consider
ably higher in other European centers.
Floating supplies of gold are in demand
for shipment to Germany. It is expected
that 1,250,000 will be exported to Russia
during the next 10 days; but the enormous
accumulation at the Bank of England pre
vents any uneasiness on this score.

if
somewhat irrelevant, remark: "Oh what do
vou know about it? You've never knocked
about the riverside looking for work for
three months with no grub in your
stomach."
No Emploj er but the State.
Qnelch was so satisfied with this per
formance that he submitted to be questioned
bv the Rt. Hon. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach.
He wished, he said, the State to be the one
and only cmplojer, with State farms, State
factorfes and State railways, and he thought
the thing could be easily managed. "As
for liberty, said Comrade Quelch, "why
liberty is impossible in society. Real
liberty probablv can only be found in the
uninhabited disticts of Central Africa. "
Quelch retired in the halo of this moon
shine, giving place to "William Falvy, an
aged, bent, white-haired, gray-faced man,
who had worked in London as corn porter
for over 50 years. 1'alvy looked just the
sort of man to sit still and answer questions;
but he proved a veritable tartar.. Distrust
ing his unprepared oratorical pow
ers, Falvy had brought with him
a huge parcel of manuscript,
from which he read harrowing details of
nnnarentlv everv accident to workmen
which he had witnessed, or heard ofj or read
about during his half century of daily toil.
Xow and then Falvy gave glimmerings of
an intent to prove that these accidents
were due to the use of labor-saving ma
chinery, a thing accursed in his eyes, and
to be abolished root and branch without
delay.
A Catalogue of Horrors.
This reading was a long dreary recital of
fractured skulls, smashed limbs and other
horrors. Lord Derby, after several -vain at
tempts to confine Falvy to the question,
leaned back in his chair and glared at the
obstinate old corn porter. Two or three
commissioners slunk out of the room and
abandoned themselves to cooling drinks.
Two or three went asleep -without any at
tempt at disguise and the remainder stroye
ver j unsuccessfully to abstain from yawning.
These signs of inattention had not escaped
old Falvy's notice, and the gathering gloom
on his wrinkled brow should have warned
Lord Derby that u storm was coming. But
His Lordship, although he had been some
what disconcerted by Falvy's cavalier
treatment of himself, did not dream that
such a common person would dare to com
mit more overt acts of disrespect toward
Her Majesty's Commissioner. The storm
burst just wnen Lord Derby closed his eyes
after a gallant effort to keep awake. He
opened both optics very quickly and very
widely, for Falw, dashing his big right
hand upon the table before him, roared out:
"If you won't listen to me what's the good
of m'v telling vou anything," and, grabbing
his manuscript, rose to walk out of the
room.
Lord Derby's Soothlns: Tower.
In that supreme moment the Earl of
Derby's politeness, inherited from scores of
noble ancestors, stood him in good stead.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, whose family did
not come over with the Gorman conqueror,
smiled at the old workman's wrath and sev
eral capitalist commissioners laughed out
right. But the patrician Earl spoke sooth
ing words to the plebeian corn porter and
finally induced the old fellow to resume the
witness chair-and even to ansn er questions
instead of continuing his catalogue of hor
rors. Scenes like these have already convinced
a majority of the Commissioners of the un
wisdom of their decision to conduct the pro
ceedings in public. The witnesses and some
of the Commissioners manifest a strong
disposition "to play to the gallery" with
the result that speeches take the place of
evidence, and the value of the inquiry is
thus deteriorated.
The education bill has pased through
the Committee after some further protests,
from ultra Tories, and there is a prospect of
its passing into a law tins session, it, as is
probable, the Government sacrifices orfe or
two minor measures to make way for suc
cess. The Land Bill Almost Done With.
The House of Lords, knowing what is
good for them, have nearly disposed of the
land bill, and the jaded legislators look for
ward hopefully to the close of the session
within a month from now. The Carlow
election has pro ed disappointing. Parnell
has not made any further political revela
tions, as promised, and, although Timothy
Healy has brought forth from his inexhaus
tible store of invectives a few more novel
adjectiv es and several new things in the
way of similes, the contest on the whole has
been dull.
The London Trades Council has given
practical form to the outcry against the
pauper immigration, by appointing a com
mittee of its members "to find out by
studying the laws of Germany and the
United States of America and the provis
ions of the alien act of "William IV. the
best means of preventing the immigration
of paupers and aliens." The committee con
sists of one representative each of the tailors,
engineers, boot makers, dock laborers, barge
builders, machinists, cabinet makers and
compositors. The result of the inquiries
-u ill be submittced to the next trade unions,
conference and be ultimately embodied in a
bill which the labor members will be in
structed to introduce in the House of Com
mons early the next session.
The subject has also occupied the atten
tion this week of the Royal Commission on
Labor, nearly every witness having man
aged to drag it in somehow or other.

After the dinner still more royalty came,
in the person of Princess Louise, the

by Lady Sophia Macnamara, and the Mar

Edward of Saxe Veimar and the Prince and
Princess of Monaco were in the ball room,
as well as a number of Americans, who had
been fortunate enough to be include among
the 250 who were asked. Fully 1,000 re

English set were refused. Mrs. Mackay
gave a general party a week ago, when

had to draw the line and there were many

SFXCIAI. TELEOBAM TO TUX DISPATCH. w
Columbus, Lvd., July 4. Early this
morning a desperate x battle with a mur
derer occurred near the village of Hope,
this county. Last night Bill Bullard, a
notorious tough, went to the house of
George Bostrock, with whom he had had
some trouble, and calling the latter to the
door, shot him three times, inflicting fatal
wounds. A constable's .posse started after
Bullard and found him hiding behind a
haystack not far away, at 6 o'clock this
morning, not far from the scene of .the
murder.
When summoned to surrender he said he
would never give up, and began firing on
the officers. Bullard kept his back to the
stack and fought all around it. The aim of
the officers was bad. Thev didn't hit Bul
lard, who at last succeeded in shooting
Deputy George Huffmaster in the thigh,
inflicting a fatal wound. Bullard then
realized that he would be captured, and
turning the pistol on himself, laughed aloud
as he pulled the trigger and sent a bullet
into his right lung. The shot was instantly
fatal.

tSFIECIAIi TELEORAX TO TRX DISPATCH.
Chautauqua, N. Y., July 4. A very
sad drowning accident occurred here this
morning, which has cast a gloom over the
whole assembly. Nelson Sterret, a young
man from Titusville, Pa., in attempting to
swim to recover his boat, which had drifted
into the lake, suddenly lost his strength or
was seized with cramps and was drowned in
sight of the camp. He uttered one agoniz
ing cry as he felt himself sinking and was
lost to sight
Mrs. Sterrett came here with her three
boys to spend the summer. Nelson was the
eldest, and was very much interested in the
department of physical culture as well as
in other studies, and intended to enter Yale
College in the fall He was about 18 years
of age, and seemed to have a bright future
ahead of him. This morning, with a com
panion, he went out boating and both young
men subsequently left the boat for a swim,

PHTSICIANS AT THEIR WITS' ENDS
DouOLASSVlLLE, PA., July 4. This lit
tle town is sorely afflicted just now with a
singular disease. The nature of it the
physicians cannot determine. Over one
half of the total population of the town is
suffering from the peculiar malady, and
probably 10 per cent more have been ill and
have recovered. Although the disease is
very severe, and generally keeps a patient
confined to his bed from four to nine weeks,
a remarkable fact is that up to date there
has not been a single fatal case.
The malady is in the nature of a fever,
and the patient invariably shows symptoms
of both typhoid and malarial fevers, al
though in a number of cases the prevailing
symptoms have varied from either or both.
Several patients who have recovered from
the queer illness stated to-day that in some
particulars it affected them very much ' the
same as pneumonia.
Eight Weeks of Suffering.
The first cases that came under the notice
of the physicians were reported about eight
weeks ago and attracted but passing notice,
ine symptoms oi typnoia iever Deing strong
enough to warrant the announcement that
the patients were suffering from that dis
ease, but within the sucoeeding few days
matters shaped themselves in such a way as
to cause first wonder and then alarm among
origin and spread of all disease. The
physicians have been able to do but little
for the sufferers except to slightly relieve
their sufferings, and as they charge a fee of
$1 per visit, they are coining money while
the rest of the town is at an absolute standstill.

were confined to their beds and the epidemic
was spreading rapidly. The inability of
the physicians to determine-the nature of
the disease caused the patients and their
families much concern, and as the illness is
of a lingering nature it was not long before
one-half of the people were sick.
31111s Compelled to Shut Down.
Two weeks ago the Dougl&ssville Iron
Company was compelled to shut down its
rolling mill because there were not enough
men left to operate it. The mill employs
62 men, and of that number 30 are sick at
the present time, while nearly half as many
more have recovered from the effects of the
disease.
The family "of Joseph Esterly, fire in
number, and including father, mother, two
sons and a daughter, are nil confined to
their beds, and fears are entertained that
Mrs. Estcrly's will be the first fatal case.
In "Farmer Henry Bush's family there are
four sufferers, and a number of cases are
known where there are three in one family
aown wun tne queer disease, ju tne nome
of Clem Linderman the doctor has been
making daily visits for nine weeks without
the intermission of a single day. Mr. Lin
derman was first stricken, hit wife followed,
and now his son is ill.
The Cause Is a Mystery.
The cause of the disease is as much a
mystery as its exact nature. It was at first
attributed to the water from the well at the
rolling mill. The water is very cold, and
the men drank copiously of it while warm.
But this theory was soon exploded when
people living half a mile or more from the
well, and who had never tasted the water
were taken sick.
Dr. Gerhard, the leading physician here,
thinks that the disease is more oi the nature
of malarial fever, and that the imnnra nir I

This is the story of the child's sufferings
and cure as told by her parents:
"Ever sinceherbabvhood she was troubled
with earache and headache. Slie.wns always
complaining and never had a well day. Her
nostrils would clog up with a tough.tenaclous
mucous that sho would almost suffocate
for want of breath during sleep at night.
She complained of pains in her chest and
limbs, and her throat was sore nearly all the
time. Sbegrew feeble and thin till at last we
liad almost given up hope of herever being a
healthy child. Since taking Dr. Byer9' treat
ment her recovery has been both' rapid and
wonacrrui. iter trouDles have all disap
peared, and those whonownotice her Dright
ejes and rosy cheeks would scarcely recog
nize in her the samo frail, pallid child of sfic
months ago."
Another Bemarkable Cure.
Another case is that of a young lady of
West Newton. Pa., who was so reduced that
Dr. Byers hesitated to assume the responsi
bility of her case. She gained 11 pounds the
first 18 days under his home treatment. He
has not asked tho privilege to publish the
name of this patient, bnt it can ho verified

Owing to the prolongation of tho carpen

THIS WEEK ONLY! THIS WEEK ONLY! THIS WEEK ONLY!
Can-it be? Is it possible? How can they afford it?
Such and similar questions wilLbe asked on all sides to-day concerning the startling statement conveyed above. And, yet, great as the surprise may
be, it could'hardly be otherwise, taking into consideration 'this most extraordinary and exceptional offer. Just thfnk! Here at Kaufmanns, where but yes
terday thousands of suits were marked at and could not have been sold for less than $18, $20, $22, $25, $27 and $3vyoil Can Step in to-morrow and take
your Choice for FIFTEEN DOLLARS. This is just what this sale means. Every word is gospel truth. There is no room or reason for skepticism. Every man
can find out for himself. Every man is at perfect liberty to step right among our $18, $25, $27 or' $30 suit tables and select himself any suit he pleases..
Nothing is concealed ! Nothing is reserved ! Nothing is excepted ! Everything is open and above board, and every suit, no matter how fine or how high
Jts former price may have been, $15 buys it now.
Our reasons for this money-losing sale? Well, we hardly think they concern the public. However, since this is a bona fide affair, we don't object
to telling..
Although the season just passed has been generally prosperous, the strikes and lockouts, it must be confessed, have been a great drawback on the sale
of fine dress suits. Everybody economized, or had to economize to make both ends meet. :Thus a man, accustomed to paying $18 for a suit, would
limit himself to one of our $10 suits, while he who ordinarily paid $2$ or $30, did not find it convenient to go higher than $12 or $15. Thus, while the me
dium and low-priced suits found ready sale, the. fine-and expensive ones Stuck. But they won't stick much longer. $1$ is the wonderful motive power that'll
make them go. We repeat, the 'finest suit of them all goes for FIFTEEN DOLLARS, and you yourself can, if you wish, go from pile to pile, from counter to
counter, and take any suit, whether it be worth $20, $25 or $30, FOR ONLY $15. Can. anything be fairer squarer plainer ?
Remember, this sale commences to-morrow morning at 8 o'clock and will continue until next Saturday night. The earliest comers will,1 of course,
catch the best bargains. Don't 'delay.
