. A resolution lliat dieil aborning, uuich
V2S intended to le introduced at Satuiday
sugTit's meeting of the Anicricu Clnli, was
4lie subject of entertaining dicuion ia po
litical circles Saturday night and rester
'dar. The resolution r.is intended to voiee
tlic confidence of the club in the integrity
of Collector "Varnicatlc. It was written
by A. G. Itoeniek- It had iieen skillfully
prepared, and to lii casual observer was as
harmless and inofiensivcas a weather predic
tion. 5Ir. ltocnick in liis friendship to the
Collector had coneeiTcd the resolution, but
fortunately for Mr. "Wannrantlp and the
resolution it was shown to Postmaster 5fe
ICean, "William Witherow and others before
the club me'.
Tim lcsolution recited the unbounded
cenEdencc and esteem in which the Collec
tor iras held by the Anirricns Club. It re
ferred to Mr. AVarmcatles intrsrity, his
Jarge experience, his business capacity and
Ills -unflinching services to the Republican
party.
Tlio Reference to the Charge.
It speculated on the charges arint the
Collector, pronounced iheni technical, and
concluded by extending sympathy. But
fonr men outside of the author of the reso
lntion were allowed to see it. Kach in turn
advised against its introduction into the
club. After some discussion and explana
tions tne auwee .as accepted and the
paper as deM roved.
Thoe who advised against the introduc
tion of the lcsolution neie all personal
friends of the Collector. They were all
vriJlins 1 assert thpir confidence in him,
and all were willing to extend a band to
assist him out of his pending troubles: but
all remembered ilie bitter iiebt into which
the Collmor pluu-red the club in his etTort
to prevent the indorsement of Congressman
Kaliell for President of the State Leasnc
of Kepubiiran clubs, and they reali7cd that
XtalrellV supporters in the" organization
wwnM be only too glad to get back whether
Mr. "Warmesstle was in trouble or not.
One oi those to whom the resolution ii
shown atcueU that it coi'ld not be passed
unanimously, and tint if passed with one
ora-ore Jiss.-nting otes ii would be bann
fl to the Collector's. nw. He furtlier ev
plained that tlic authorities at Washington
oncld do! listen to lesolutions in ilie face
ofllie charges pending, and even if they did
listen to the resolutions the action could not
lieeraved bv a mere expression of confi
dence ulirn the otlicial records told quite a
difierent ttory.

"'Yes 1 wrote tiieresolutiou in question,"
Mr. Uotni'jk said lat night. "For rears

3f AEEOW ESCAPE OF THE UMITED.
The Value of t llnif-Miniite Illustrated In
a Striking Manner.
The value of a half-minute was illustrated
on the Pennsylvania road rcsterdai This
SBall space of time prevented a disastrous
vrreck. The New York limited had just
passed express train No. 7 near Jrwi'n, when
a draw head on one of the express cars was
pulled out. The train was going at a high
rat yf speed, and four of the cars were
tiirtnm across th" oilier track where the
limited had Ik-ch. and lolled over the em
renksicnt. Nobody was in them, and no
one was hurt
Several years ago a fatal wreck occurred
in this way on the Horse Shoe Rend. A
wheel broke on a p.siug ti eight -car. and
threw it into a sleeper, killing .lack

Lat week Henry Fcueht said that Prof.

hit vigorous disapproval any pending rela
tinns of the soeietv with Dr. Teed; but
when he departed, leaving words of compii
inratary mention f the men Pcueht said
the prolcssor would score, his chagrin was
!cep. Mr. IVuclit now maintains that Prof.
Baaer's lailure in the direction prcviously

Thinks Wlllielm I n Socialist.
Carl Itchier and Francis Itentz, of Chi
cago, with tiitir wives, were on the limited
last evening, returning home from Germany.
Thpv attended the convention of Socialists
atEriurth. Mr. I.oclHcr says the meeting
ras very turbulent when they decided to
lircnk away Ironi the Anarchists who be
lieve in strong measures. He thinks that
Emperor "Wiiheliu at heart is a Socialist,
aad this accounts for his liberal policy
toward the woiking classes, which led to
tire fereal: with Prince Bismarck. He be
lieves the young Emperor, though hot
headed, will cuke a greater record than
his grandfather.

WITHOUT USING WIRES.

Xikola Tesla, the inventor of the Tesla
motor for street railways, 5a at the Dn
quesne. He says the Germans are infring
ing his patents, and he came here to get an
electric plant to take over there. His ob
ject is to prosecute them, and prevent in
iringements in the future, lly using his
motor in connection with some long-distance
experiments, several German elec
tricians recently at Frankfort transmitted
the i,ower 12.1 mile'.
"But this is nothing," continued the en
thusiast, who is a very intelligent Hun
garian. "Tt is possible to run all the street
cars in Pittsburg with the pon er of Niagara.
1 have been experimenting for five years,
and electric powcrcan be transmitted tor ."00
miles. The business is only in its infancy.
The electric light can be greatly cheapened,
and its strength can be increased JO times.
Not long ago T lectured before the Ameri
can Institute in New York, and showed that
electric light could he produced without the
aid of wires or big motors. I surprised
the scientists by producing a bright light
with a little instrument that I held in my
lumd. The best part of it is that in the
new system there is no carbon filament, and
therefore nothing to break. It isn't neces
sary to wire a room to get the light, and a
man can carry the aDparatus around in his
vest pocket if he cares to. Prof. Crooks,
of England, in "commenting on my
lecture, points out that dispatches
also can be sent without wires. He doesn't
know that I have been working on such a
scheme for t be last live years, and that it J
had Sl.OOO.W I would stake my reputation
to communicate with a ship at sea, a man
on the highest mountain peak in the world,
or in the densest forest. I haven't
completed my experiments, but in
the next ten years this will be
woikedout People will think that a man
vrho talks this way is crazy, but it is
leasonable. The telegraphic system is snre
to be revolutionized. The earth is a great
conductor, and by using an electric in
strument with which he is supplied,
a friend in any remote part of
the world, can communicate with another
without the intervention of wires
or anything else. Kvery man who has the
instrument could catch 'the message, but if
it is important it can be put in cipher.
Think of telegraphing to a ship at sea in
this manner. 'Wouldn't an invention that
makes it possible be wonderful. "Well, it
will be done after while. I am confident
of it."
A REMARKABLE RECOVERY.

from the wound,
across the strc tr- Johnston's time store.
He saw no one to relieve him there, and
turning hurriedly he rnshed out and up to
Tr. Montgomery's office ou Third avenue.
He had just strength enough to reach the
office. He fell against the door. It flew
open and the colored man fell helpless to
the floor. It just happened that a.party of
eight young physicians had Gathered
to visit lr. Montgomery. As if guided
by Piovidence Harris fell into their ready
hands. They promptly rcali7ed his con
dition. One of them hurriedlv threw ofl
his coat, plunged his fingers into the gaping
wound up to his knuckles and guided by
the hot flow ot blood got hold of the severed
windpipe and the ends of two blood vessels
that had been cut. With a pair of scissors
and a knife closrr: upon the windpipe it was
joined and held together. The veins were
tied up.
"With the cutlery still in his throat Harris
spent the night at the hospital. Ylisterdav
morning the instruments were removed.
The windpipe wa patched together, the
wound was.dres'ed. and if the victim lives
the operation will stand as the most re
markable known to surgery.
Dr. Cable, who happened in to sec Dr.
Montgomery when the operation wa being
performed and who related the above story,
said last night that it was certainly the
most noteworthy case in his experience. He
savn he can't understand how Harris has
lived this long under the circumstances.
CHRISTIANITY AND LABOR.
.I!c. rather Cojne Biscnsses tho Great
Problem and Thinks There Is a I-nck
ot Iteliglon Displayed Too Much Dis
crimination. l!ev. Father Coyne, of Sewickley, deliv
ered a discourse on labor in the St. Mary
of Mercy Church, on Third avenue, last
night. The church was packed with labor
ing people, evenstanding room being hardly
obtainable.
"The lack ot Christianity in labor is one
of the sources ot trouble with the working
man," said he. "Going back to tho time of
the creation we find that the Creator then
instilled religion into work. Coming down
to the time of Jesus Christ we find Him a
workman at a car icntcr's bench, where he
labored lor SO years. Then following out
His own idea ot not laboring merely for re
muneration, lie entered the ministri"."
The speaker then came dotrn to the
present time, giving diflerent illustrations
to show the condition of the .workingman.
"One of the greatest evils now is the dis
crimination against the laborer," said Itev.
Coyne. "As long as the employer does not
give the employe recognition there will be
trouble. The two meet on the street, but
pass by without the exchange of pleasant
greetings. So long as their lack oi
Christianity keeps up there will be ruptions
between capital and labor. The manner of
over-paying some and under-paying others
is another great evil, and a hard one to
tcniedy, but it can be done by just actions
on both the part of tile employer and
employe."

IX THE HAXDS OP THE OFFICER HE SIIOT
Marshal D. D. Dolheare, Constable
Charles Sprout and Citv Sergeant Louis
Gokey, ofUenwood, W. Vn., came to Pitts
burg yesterday to take back with them
Thomas, alias "Eggie," Condry. The latter
has been in jail for several weeks, having
been arrested for supposed complicity in
the murder of Mrs. Paul Ttndcrt at Tarrn
tum. He proved au alibi and the case was
nolle pressed.
Condry would then have been set free, but
the authorities at Benwood sent word that
he was wanted there on several charges and
officers would be sent on tor him. The
most serious charge is felonious shooting of
Marshall Dolbeare, who has now come to
take Condry back for trial. He is also
wanted for burglary, highway robbery and
jail breaking. The officers will start for
Benwood with their prisoner this morning
at 7:20 o'clock.
Not an Knf iable Reputation.
All through Marshall county, in which
Beuwood is located, the deeds of "Eggie"
Condry are well known to everybody. His
career there has been one of almost con
stant ahd daring crime. He was first
known there a number of years ago, when
he worked as a pttddler at Benwood. In
I8S.1, with a companion named Klein, ho
robbed the till of C H. Seabright's grocery.
Klein was captured by the officers, but
Condr3- made his "escape into the
woods. Grocer Seabright, on learn
ing of the affair. mounted his
horse and with nothing but an empty
shotgun started after the fugitive. He
finally overtook him in a narrow gully,
and with the empty gun frightened him
injo surrender, in spite of the fact that
Condry carried a loaucd revolver.
Seabright marched his prisoner back to
town. He was later taken to the county
jail at Mojtndsville. During certain hour's
the piisoners were allowed the freedom of a
circular hall or corridor. Condry and
Klein had a chance to get their heads
together and soon determined en a plan to
get away. I'nuuc sentiment was strong
against them and they were in a desperate
mood, knowing that a trial at court would
go hard with them.
Locked Up the Sheriff.
Accordingly Condry constructed a
"dummv" of some clothing, placed it on
the bunk in his cell and covered it with a
blanket. He then hid in an unoccupied
cell. "When Sheriff Schowhackcr came in
to give the prisoners their, bread and water
and lock them tip he saw what he supposed
was Condry, lying on the bunk. Thinking
he plight be sick he stepped into the cell.
Quick as flash Condry jumped out and
locked (he Sheriff in the cell. It only
took a moment to release Klein
and the two walked out of
the front-door, which the Sheriff had neg
lected to lock. "When the escape was dis
covered and the Sheriff released, Condry
had made good his escape. Klein, who was
crippled, was soon caught, but nothing more
was heard of his confederate.
In October, 1888, Condry came to light
again in a highway robbery near Benwood,
when a man was held up and relieved of his
cash. The officers learned that Condry was.
to meet a companion, Owen Frey, at the'
house of a saloon keeper the next night.
Marshal Dolbeare and several ofiieers w'ent
to the house. The others remained in front,
while he started for the resr to cut
off escape there. As he passed a
a side window Condry caught sigiit of him,
pulled a revolver and fired. " The ball
entered the marshal's left shoulder, in
excitement tlrat followed Condry made his
escape, and was not heard of again until
arrested in Pittsburg. Dolbcare's wound
was not serious, and he fully recovered in
four weeks. Condry has a reputation of
being quiek with a revolver and ready to
shoot at the slightest provocation.
ARRESTED FOR BURGLARY.
l'atrict I-ynrh Is Caught After Klading tlio
Ollicers for Two TVtks.
Patrick Lynch was arrested on Market
street yesterday, having been wanted by
the police since October 30 for complicity
with Harry Kennedy for breaking the show
window of "W. AY. "Wattles' store on that
date. The window was broken by a stone
at about .1 o'clock in the morning. Kennedy
was arrested at the time. He claimed that
there was no intention of robbery, but he
had a fight with Lynch, who threw a stone
at him. Kennedy was held for court on a
charge of attempted robbery, but Lynch
kept out of reach ot the police!
Yesterday morning Captain Dcnniston
saw him standing on Market street, and
knowing that Lynch would run if he went
aftfr him the captain got Janitor Jim
Williams of Centra! station to catch him.
The janitor looked very innocent with his
suit of overalls and juniper jacket, and
Lynch did not suspect him until AVilliams
had him, then Captain Dcnniston came up
and placed him tinder 3rrest. A charge of
attempted burglary will be made against
him to-day. Lynch, is only 2(1 years of age
and has neither home nor occupation.

Pittsburg China Artists to Orscmiizo.
Mrs. Frackclton, the famous china
painter, has been chosen president of that
department at the Columbian Exposition at
Chicago, and is very much interested that
there should be a fine showing of talent in
china painting. In a number of cities clubs
have been organi7ed for the progression of
the art and to prepare for a Columbian Ex
position display. Mrs. Frackelton has
written to a lriehd in this city, asking that
a club be formed here. Arrangements have
been made for a meeting to be held on this
(Monday) evening at 8 o'clock in Prof.
Biisell's rooms, at Curry University for the
purpose of forming an organization of all
ladies interested in china painting.

I TIIE LAKE water plan.
It IVonlil Cost S2,000,000, but Experts
Think It Mill Pay Firo I'nglnes Could
Re Dispensed With, and Better Protec
tion Secnr?1!!.
Dr. Vinslow's proposition to secure the
water supply for Pittsburg from Bake
Chautauqua finds plenty of endorsement
among the citizens. Superintendent Baker,
of the Health Bureau, says the plan is
feasible, and he has always, lie says, favored
such a plan. No effort has been made by
the health officers to test the quality of
water supplied to Pittsburg. Mr. Baker
said the water did taste and smell of oil,
but the evidence of oil has now wholly dis
appeared, and the water is pure as it has
ever been. He has paid no attention to the
statements of others regarding the water as
he believed the oil was in no way harmful.
Before the present water system was con
structed Milincr, Roberts, a civil engineer,
made a vigorous effort to have the city pipe
its supply from Lake Chautauqua. He es
timated then that the cost to the c'tr would
be about ?2,000,000; but with" his proposi
tion he submitted n guarantee that all tho
lire engines in the city could be dispensed
with, and that the natural force of the
water would throw a stream much higher,
stronger and better than any engine made.
Superintendent Baker thinks this plan
could be carried out now. While the cost
seems extravagant, there would be a sav
ings in so many directions that the city in
the long run would be the winner.
Another recognized authority on the sub
ject said: "If it be true, as is argued and
generally admitted, that the torce of the
water from the lake would throw a stream
high enough and strong enough to protect
from fire our tallest buildings then wo
should lose no time in getting the system
perfected regardless of cost. There "is no
way of concealing the tact tint we have
lately had some big and costly fires, and a
strong flow of water will not cost much
more than a pipe lineloLakeChautauqua."
Notwithstanding. Superintendent Baker's
statement as to the present purity of the
water the oily tate was quite perceptible
in the city yesterday, and was even worse
in Allegheny. It " was also decidedly off
color, and complaints were very loud and
general.
HANLEY HAS A RECORD.
Something About a Man Awaiting Trial for
Burglary.
Assistant Police Superintendent Boger
O'Mara has been making an effort to learn
something of CIiarles,Manlcy, caught trying
to enter the residence of Simon Beymer, at
Fifth avenue and Neville street, about a
month ago. Yesterday he received a letter
from Captain of Police John D. Shea, of
Chicago, who recognized the pris
oner's picture published in fhe Po
Vire Xrwx. The letter said Manley's
real name was Larry Murray, and that he
was released from Jolict prison, Illinois, a
few months ago, after serving nearly 16
years there on 18 different charges of rob
bery, all of which had been committed by
climbing over verandas and entering by a
second-story window, just the trick he was
caught playing at Mr Beymcr's house.
Mauley, or Murray, had received a sentence
of 14 rears, but part of it was commuted for
good behavior.
Captain Jansen, of Milwaukee, and Chief
Schmidt, of Cleveland, also sent word that
he was known to them in those cities and
they would likewise assist in his prosecu
tion. Both ot these latter ofiieers allege
Murray to be one of he most daring bur
glars they ever heard of.

Wyman's Withdrawal Simplifies tho
Allegheny Situation.
THERE'LL BE.BCT TWO ASPIRANTS
Why Allegheny's Chief F.xccutive WasSnitor
for an Empty Honor.
POLITICAL GOSSIP OP THE TWO CITIES
The withdrawal of Mayor AVyman from
the fight for national delegate promises to
simplify the political situation in Alle
gheny. The official announcement of his
refusal to run was the general topic of con
versation among politicians on both sides
of the river yesterday, though such a move
lias been expected since charges were en
tered against him. This leaves the field
clear for AVilliam AVitherow, and it is "con
ceded on all sides that it is now but a ques
tion o' selecting the other man.
That other man will likely be either B.
F. Jones, ex-chairman Of the Bepublican
National Committee, or Thomas A. Parke,
Chairman of Allegheny Common Council.
Either of the latter men will represent the
reform clement, while Mr. AVithrow has not
been classed with cither side. Even with
Mayor AVyman in the field he was regarded
as a strong man by virtue of the fight he
made four years aso. Then he came within
au ace of winning and was only defeated
through a combination of the forces of Peter
AValter and Thomas Bayne.
Only Two Candidates Expected.
Now, both these factors are for him, as
well as his old following. AVith all
this staring them in the face and with no
real object to gain by opposing him, it is
believed reformers will be content with one
candidate as a Tunning mate with Mr.
AVitherow.
From good political authority it is learned
that Mayor ATyman's refusal to run for
delegate means his practical withdrawal
from polities. Ever since Mr. AATyman
secured his second term as Mayor he has
been trying to capture the office of Sheriff.
His campaign for delegate was bnt a part
of his plan to secure that office. Through
that honor he hoped to strengthen
his position in the city and also gain an in
fluence in the county. Delegates set up for
the delegate convention would later have
been his delegates for Sheriff. AVith this
power iu his bands he bad hope(bto force
the Pittsburg leaders lo place his name ou
the slate.
I'nrfco TVill Itun if Jones Withdraws.
AVhen AA'illiam AAritherow was seen yes
terday he declared that with AVyman out of
tne uetii it wan impossible to heat him. rle
also slated that he did not believe there
would be any fight, as only one other man
was likely to be put up. He thought Chair
man Parke would be the man. VNeither
Mr. Parke nor B. F. Jones could be seen
yesterday, but it is understood Mr. Parke
will be candidate provided Mr. Jones does
not want to run.
Another bit of gossip' which tickled the
political palate in Allegheny yesterday was
that Postmaster Gilliiand was indebted to
his supposed political friends for his pres
ent troubles. It was stated that as the
postmaster had not proved the partisan
bulwark that was expected, they are anx
ious to supplant him with a man of keener
politic-il instincts preparatory to the
troublous times expected in next year's
politics. The reformers, to whom the
troiihie was attributed, absolutely deny
they have taken a hand in the affair.
A POINT FOB GTJFPEY.
He Snccceds in Delaying the Selection ot a
Snccessor to IT. I Scott.
J. M. Guffey returned last night from
AVnhington, where he attended the meeting
of the Division Chairmen of the Democratic
State Central Committee. Mr. Scott was
gratified with the action of the committee
in delaying the selection of a suc
cessor to the late AVilliam L. Scott
on the National Committee. The de
lay is construed as an important
victory for Mr. Gitfley in his contest againt
Secretary of State Harrity for Mr. Scott's
place on'the committee. Mr. Harrity, it is
said, was extremely anxious to have the
Division Chairmen name him to succeed
Mr. Scott Gtiffey's only hope was to have
the matter delayed, and the appointment of
Chairman Kerr to fill the vacancy on the
committee was directly in line witli Mr.
Gtiffey's efforts. Mr. Gtiffey's friends now
contend that the State Committee, when it
meets in February, will continue Kerr in
the vacancy until the State convention
meets, when they believe that the new com
mittee chosen by the State convention will
be against Secretary Harrity for the place
and Mr. Guffey will be chosen for a full
term,
"I have not yet announced myself as a
candidate for a place on the National Com
mittee," Mr. Gufley said. "The indica
tions are I will be a candidate when the
time arrives. AArhen I go into the contest I
am hopeful that I can win against Mr. Har
rity. He has not boon the brilliant success
that we have all been led to think him."
HOW THEY CAMS TOGETHER.
Local Politicians Discussing the Reconcili
ation of Quay and Majree.
The reconciliation between C. L. Magee
and Senator M. S. Quay, when and where it
occurred, and how and by whom it was
brought about, forms an, interesting subject
of discussion among local politicians. It
has beer, generally supposed that tlic two
leaders met for the first time since estrange
ment at the late Bepublican convention at
Harrisburg. Those conspicuous in bring
ing about the reconciliation, however, know
differently. One of them said last night that
Quay and Mageo were brought to
gether in the Seventh Avenue Hotelin this
city a month before the convention. Shortly
before the convention Mr. fagee visited
the Senator at his Beaver home and then
and there peace was declared. Since then
they have been fast friends and they are
closer together now than they have been for
years.
Postmaster McKean and others of his class
had much to do with bringing the two men
together. The fight between the two lead
ers was decidely costly to themselves botli
of whom could well afford it, but it was a
constant drain upon the resources of their
friends, especially the federal and municipal
office holders.
Minneapolis Von't Bo Bluffed.
Charles AVliite, a St. Paul politician, was
a passenger on the Eastern express bound
for AVashington last evening. He laughs
at the fears of Eastern men that Minne
apolis would not have hotels enough to sup
ply the convention peop'e. If necessary
the houses at AVhite Bear and Lake MinnJ
tonka will be opened. He claims that St.
Paul and Minneapolis can provide for 15,000
people, 3nd that . as many more can find
refuge in the neighboring hotels by riding
for '2.0 to 30 minutes. St. Paul is liot after
the Democratic Convention and lias guaran
teed a hall to hold 15,000.
A Candidate lor County Treasurer.
The friends of George Letche announce
that he is a candidate for county treasurer.
He is backed by all the councilmen and
politicians on the hill, and they are confi
dent that he will be nominated at the next
county convention. Mr. Le'chc is popular
and will undoubtedly make the other candi
dates hustle.

ALMOST A PARADISE.
Eeports of ileath and Starvation at
Topolabampo Contradicted.
COLONISTS, BUT NOT COMMUNISTS.
Charles Kansfielil lias Direct Intelligence
From Friends There.
IIAKD WORK", BUT A GOOD TIJIE COMING
Charles AV. Mansfield, of Homestead, ap
pears as a defender of the co-operative col
ony at Topolabampo, Mexico. Some time
ago The Dispatch published a special
telegram fromTTopeka giving a graphic de
scription of the misfortunes which Kansas
members of the colony had encountered,
and their opinion that it was a gigantic
bunko game. The colonists were reported
to be in a pitiable condition, some nearly
starving, and death was a frequent visitor.
Mr. Mansfield speaks of the matter with
considerable emphasis, saying:
"The people who compose the credit
Foucier would be about tlic Iat people in
the world vi'hom anyone knowing them would
call communists. They are simply mem
bers of a joint stock company organized
under a charter obtained in Colorado to buy
and develop farms and mines and to build a
railroad under concessions from the Gov
ernment of Mexico, and they have agreed
to attempt to do it co-opcratiyely. They
have purchased some hundreds of thou
sands of acres of level, fertile land at 50 cents
per acre, that under irrigation will be su
perior to much of the land in California.
"A great ditch to convey the water of the
Fnrte river to tiiesc lands is tinder construc
tion and nearing completion.
T.ctters Direct From Colonists.
"Once these lands arc watered everybody
connected with the colony, leaders included,
will be rich. Until this ditch is done
nothing else will be thought of or attempted
in tne way ot permanent improvement. 1
am in regular communication with friends
at Topolabampo and have some letters here
that I have just received from some of them,
including Mr. J. AV. Scully."
The following are some extracts from the
letters exhibited:
Catwood, with its bustlinsr activity, the
quiet calls to the horses, mnles nnd oxen,
the directions and instrnctions to men on
tho dump. tlieniuMcal ring of tho anvils In
the blacksmith sliop, and tho cominp and co
ins of teams.impreses one with tho idea that
hern is a great industrial work well in band,
and under able management. Camp Cat
wood is an inspiration. There was a con
spicuous, aDscnco of tliat hurry, flurry, yell
ins or swearing that characterizes tiie com
mon laborer.
Thee comrades of ours aro of a higher
order. Yon will find it so when vou come to
work among tliera. Xot bnt tliat they do
sometimes set flurried and spealcandact
foolishly most of us do: but they have a
higher ideal than other workers. Taey
have something grand to look forward to.
And here I may repeat the testimony ofour
chief engineer. Y.. II. Tarp, himself a culti
vated ninn, polished in pcech and manners,
whom I met at this camp.
A I.jcenra and Dancing Parties.
lie said that despite the lack of re
fined appliances in onr homes and schools,
ho had noticed the refining effects of life
in the colony and attributed it to onr per
sistent support of tho Lyceum and our
weekly dances more than anything else. Hu
was on this occasion bringing his yonnjj sis-ter-in-lawr
to attend onr school at LaLogia.
AVe are moving along grandly now. Some
may be scared otr, but we will got all and
more than wc want. Xow I wish to av to
yon that the new colonists, about 17u, are
nearly all well-to-do people, intelligent,
sturdy nnd iiidustrions, and I do think tlio
best lot of people I ever taw. The strong
workers haro nearly all gono to tlio ditch,
and never did wc have or see so determined
a set ot men. and so fall of enthusiasm.
Our houses are not as good a w e have had
before, but don't bo uneasy. Wo are living,
no doubt, better than the majority of tlio
working people of the States. Wc are all
content, and lejolco to know that wo shall
soon have homes in the finest country on
earth. We nayc tho most prodnetlvo soil
wo have ever seen. But Ave have no easy
positions to offer to the tillers. It is hard
work and snre privations. But if we (ret
principally farmers, as tho last recruits
were, we shall have but little trouble or dis
content. We are moving on surely to a
grand success. AVe havo no sickness in our
settlements.
