f THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, FREDAY, JULY 15, .1532. 9 IN VERYBAD ODOR, A Black Eye for Pinkerton Detectives, Turn TOcli Way They Will. MB. -SCOTT'S LITTLE BILL Would Prevent Their Travel on Any Eailroad or Boat Line. CONGRESS SOKE ON THE SYSTEM, And Fully Prepared to Tass a Bill Would Annihilate It. That A SEW MOTE TO AID IIOMESTEADERS tFKOM a STArr cor.nESPOSDnNT. Washington; July 14. There is every probability that tbe present troubles at Homestead, however that they may result as far as the dispute between the Carnegie Company and its workmen is concerned, will give the Pinkerton system of furnish ing armed guard's a black eye that will re sult in its ultimate overthrow. Already several of the States have passed laws intended to prevent the use of the Pinkerton guards, aud to-day Represeuta- tiveSeott, of Illinois, introduced a bill in t he House of Representatives designed to j;o as far a the national Government can Jjo in the same direction. It is entitled "A hill to prevent the inter-State transporta- rion of bodies of armed men other than I hose in the military service of the United S tates, tlie several States and Territories, ktt the District of Columbia." It prohibits Vlbsolutely the transportation from one State to another of all such bodies of men, whether known as "detectives," "police" or any other title. A Hcavv 1 Ino and Imprisonment, It provides that any owner, president, manacer, officer or employe of any company or corporation convicted of violating the provisions ot the act shall be fined not less ban ?5,000 and shall be imprisoned for one rear. Further than this, any person or corporation guilty of violating the law shall be liable for any damace done to any per son, either in his person or his property, the amount of such damages to be assessed by a court of competent jurisdiction. The idea of Mr. Scott was to make it im possible to transport the Pinkerton guards from one State to another. If there had been snch a law as he proposes on the statute books when the Pinkerton men were taken into Homestead on "Wednesday of last week The Officer and Employes of every railway line over which they trav eled to their destination would have been 'liable to heavy fines and imprisonment, and would also have been liable for heavy dam ages for the men who were wounded ana killed in the battle when they attempted to land from their barges. Mr. Scott takes the ground that the only persons who should be allowed to interfere to enforce order or preserve the peace in any part of the United States are the legally constituted authorities of the Gov ernment, whether State or XationaL The '11 was referred to the Committee on the diciary, a sub-committee of which is iff engaged in investigating the trouble at Xomestead. It is not likelv that any re port will be made upon it until after the return of that sub-committee, when either tut Scott bill or some substitute ior it pre pared by the committee will be reported. In the present' temper of the two Houses such a bill would undoubtedly pass, with' little or no opposition. .u. THE SHIP NOT GIVEN UP. An E'oqnent Speech Keeps ihn ITonse From Surrender Holm in One.

These are the appropriation of 50,000 for he naval review and the authorization for he construction ol a new battleship. Mr. Holman opposed any recession.

Charlotte Smith Keeps TJp Her Agita tion for the Homesteaders' Wives and Families A Kew Step Taken for Their Ala". rBOM A BTArr coBnESroxDEirr.l Washington, July 14. The news wired ?he Dispatch yesterday as to the interest n the Homestead affair among the women if the country had something more than the nere 'word of Mrs. Charlotte Smith behind t. There seems to be no doubt there w a igorous and spontaneous movement mong the wives of artisans and laborers in he United States to contribute aid in some orm or other to the cause of the locked-out rortmen. Mrs. Charlotte Smith, President of the xadled "Woman's National Industrial .eague, is a well-known figure about the apitoh Her task, that of attempting to meliorate the condition of workers, is a df-appointed one. She began byorgan :ing the women day laborers about the de artments. Mrs. Smith's uneonventionality, er breeziness, energy and fearlessness have ade it highly proper to regard her mission ith an indulgent 6mile on the presump on that what she accomplishes compares :ry insignificantly with her expressed ob ct. But despite these implied jeers, Mrs. Smith docs accomplish a great deal. That fact is evidenced by the increase of wages she has secured for scrub women in the de partments and for other women engaged in the lowly classo of labor, and by the wrongs to the female department clerks she has righted and by the wrongfully dis charged women she has compelled depart ment officials to restore to peace. Mrs. Smith Lobbying Bard. To-day Mrs. Charlotte Smith was bust ling about the lobbv of the House, button holinc members. She confined her atten tion to Democrats and Third party people. She was successful in her mission. To morrow a meeting ot Democratic and Farmers' Alliance Representatives will bo held here for the purpose of discussing the possibility and advisability of takinsr some action indicative of the interest these Repre sentatives leel in the cause of labor. What this action will be has not beeu de cided. It is unlikely anything definite will be done at to-morrow's meeting. II is difficult to see what can be done. There is Borne talk of declaring in favor of an arbitration law, broad enough in its scope to exercise a beneficial influence throughout the country, and one that will effectually prevent like troubles in the future. Representative W. I "Wilson, of "West Virginia, one of the superior Democrats, cannot see the possibility of enacting na tional legislation that will prevent strug gles between labor and capital. Mr. "Wil son has given much attention to the ques tion. He is respected by members of both parties for his manifest lairness and calm judicial mind. Hie Froposed Arbitration tw. "I cannot see how Congress can do any thing to prevent conflicts between capital and labor," said Mr. "Wilson. "An arbitration law is suggested." "Congress cannot pass a compulsory arbi tration law. It might direct the appoint ment of a voluntary arbitration committee by the President. In case of dispute be tween a manufacturer and his workmen the point in question could be referred to this committee. But its finding would not nec essarily be final nor beyond appeal. The workmen might repudiate it; the manufact urer might object to it. In either event, the difficulty would remain unsettled, and the contest would be on as of yore. I don't mean to say such a law would not have a good effect-" On the contrary, I think the good effect would be marked. I merely mean there is no system I know anything of that could be applied to the final irre vocable settlement of such disputes. There are arbitration boards in England, but their presence in that country does not obviate labor troubles. The masters, as they are called, appoint certain members of this board, and the workmen appoint other members. The situation is undoubtedly helped by these boards, but the trouble is not entirely removed." M. F. I. ENTERTAINING DEBATES. The Senate Considering the Purchase of a Government Printing Office Site Billy Mahones Property and Cameron's Scheme to nave It Tionjzht at a Fancy Trice. Washington, July 14. Special' The debates in'the United States Senate during the past few days have been highly enter taining. Tbe debate on the question whether-ex-Senstor Billy Mahone, of Vir ginia, would succeed in selling to the Gov ernment for ?250,000 a piece of ground in Xorlheast "Washington as a site for the new government printing office, is one of the funniest for a long while aud that is say ing a great deal. The facts leading up to the discussion are these: The present Government Printing Office is a dilapidated, dangerous, disease breeding structure, which is apt to fall down at any time beneath the weight of the great presses that rumble and roar in it dav and night. Every person who works in the building is in constant danger of his life. There is no do.ibt about this, aud sev eral Congressional committees hare so re ported. A Qnarter of a million for a FIte. In the last Congress a sum of money something like 5250,000 was set apart forj tne purcnase oi a site lor tne new building, and the Committees on Printing were authorized to investigate the matter of a site and report. Xo definite action has ever been taken looking lor the purchase of a site, for the reason that the real estate jobbers of the District of Columbia began such a fight among themselres that it was impossible to choose between them without bloodshed. At the last session of the Fifty-first Con gress Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania, who is a heavy dealer iu Washington real estate, endeavored to pass a resolution tak ing the matter of the selection ot a site out of the hand of the Committee on Printing and instructing them to choose the Mahone property. He did not succeed in this, but while the Committee on Printing was still struggling with the problem this 'year, Sen ator Cameron and his friends stole a march on them, the result of which is the present fight of Mahone ersus the other real estate speculators of the District of Columbia. How the Fcheine VI as Worked, The Cameron-Mahone combination worked their scheme in this way: During the ab sence of Senator Stanford in Europe, Sen ator Quay was the Chairman of the Com mittee on Public Buildings and Grounds, and the leader of the minority on the com mittee is Senator "Vest There is a rnle of the Senate that no amendment can be brought into an appropriation bill that has not been recommended by a standing com mittee. The Mahone men, therefore, came for ward with a formal recommendation from Senator Quay's committee for the purchase of the Mahone property, and Senator Manderson, as Chairman "of the Committee on Printing, at once jumped into the fight. Senator Manderson favors the purchase of another piece of ground known as the Baseball Park, although he has no interest in it, and is perfectly willing that some other site should be chosen, but what made him mail was that the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds shonld at tempt to override the Committee on Printing. A COALING STATION SECURED At a Sopth American Island Thronjh the Work oT Minister Maltnnv. FROM A STAFF CORnESrOXDEXT.i Washington, July 14. A matter of international importance is the rumored securing of one of the Galipagos Islands by the United States as a coaling station. The negotiations are said to have been con ducted by Rowland B. Mahauy, Minister to Ecuador, and now on. his way .back to this country. Mr. Mahany, who is from Buffalo, secured his appointment, by the way, through the agency of the same Father Cronin who figured prominently during the excitement attendant on Blaine's resiena tion of the State portfolio. Mr. Mahany is expected to arrive in New York some day next week. For years the United States has been try ing to secure a coaling station at a point near tee bouth American coast. Mr. Ma hany was appointed but recently. On his arrival at Quito he obtained permission from the State Department to take 00 davs' leave of absence. Mr. Blount at the time was making furious efforts to abolish a number of Ministers,and that atEcuador was one. It was during Mr. Mahany's brief stay in South America that he is supposed to have secured the coaling station. M. F. I. Steel Ties Discarded for Good. Philadelphia, July 14.

A Rumor That Liberals Will Postpone the Dome Kule Issue to PUSH A BIG KEW ELECTOiUL REFORM London, July 14. To-day's results have not quite realized Liberal expectations, but they are considered satisfactory, as confirm ing the steady flow of gains. ' When the actual number of the Liberal members re turned first overtopped the Conservatives, the Liberal Club men indulged in prolonged jubilations. Henceforth Mr. Gladstone's total will be in the ascendant If to-day was a shade disappointing, to morrow will make up for it. Conservatives admit that rural voters are against them. The SL James Gazette angrily says that some thing like a rot has set in among the agri culturalists. A feature of to-day's contests was the fact that for the first time during the pres ent election, more opposition seats were at stake than Unionist seats. Out of 32 English counties polling, 17 were Gladstonian and 15 Unionists. So far as known at present, the former remain Gladstonian. The con test in two Scotch burghs secured Liberals in their seatB, and the polling in eight Irish connties are reported as resulting in the return of McCarthyites. The Liberals thus calculate that to-day's results add 27 to the Gladstonian total. A New ltecrnlt for Burns' Faction. Mr. Burkmire, of Ayr borough, who was elected to-day on the Gladstonian ticket, is a pronounced Laborist and will probably join the Burns faction. The Liberal lead ers care little for the menased opposition of the Independent Laborist, These can not count upon more than five men Messrs. Burns, Hartley, Wilson. Picard and may be Birkmire. The returns at midnight showed that the Conservatives had 248 members; the Liber als, 232; the McCarthyites, 51; the Liberal Unionists, 39; the Parnellites, 7, and the Laborists, & Ministerial total, 287; Glad stonial total, 293. Thousands of people gathered aronnd the railway station in Aberdeen to watch the departure of Mr. Gladstone for Braemar, where he will remain for a week's rest after the fatigues of his Midlothian campaign. The Tunes says: "If the Gladstonians con tinue to win at the same rate, the result will be disappointing. Viscount Cranborne's defeat in Lancashire is all the more annoy ing because the majority against him is in significient. Gladstone Can Feel for Morley. 'The most notable return is that of Mid lothian. Mr. Gladstone isifully qualified to extend to Mr. Morley the sympathy ex torted by bis similar misfortune. It is idle to speculate upon the cause of the re duction of Mr. Gladstone's majority. His thiuly-veiled hostility to the Kirk prob Ebly co-operated with the enigmatical home rule policy to produce an emphatic reduc tion amounting to a defeat "The result illustrates, as it did in Ox ford, Lancashire and Greenwich, the great characteristic of Mr. Gladstone as a repre sentative, that the more he is known the less he is liked. It is obviously only a question of time when the great peripatetic will seek the hospitality of Archbishop Walsh and be content to sit for Rebel Cork." It is stated that sermons were preached against Mr. Gladstone in almost every .es tablished church in Midlothian last Sunday. It cannot be doubted that the church ques tion was the chief factor in tbe contest Considerable interest has been manifested in the returns from Ireland. Itt the South division of Longford, Hon. Edward Blake, who came from Canada on the invitation of the anti-Parnellite electors of the district to oppose tbe Conserative candidate, was suc cessful, cari-ying the district by a majority of 2,197. A Powerfnl Romi Rale Champion. It is expected that Mr. Blake, with his wide knowledge of the workings of home rnle in Canada, will prove an invaluable ally to Mr. Gladstone. His attainments are such that he is certain to make himself felt in the House of Commons, and he will always be found in the first rank of those who "are battling for the re-establishment of a Parliament in Dublin. John Dillon, the anti-Parnellite candi date, has been elected in the East division of Mahoby over his Parnellite competitor. Among the better known men whose elec tion is: announced to-day, is Sir Joseph Savory, the former Lord Mayor of London, who was returned from the "Appleby divis ion of Westmoreland. Tne Ayre btirgs in Scotland have in pst elections shown a wavering political faith, but now it has given a majority of 7 for the Liberal candidate, Mr. Birkmeyre. In 1885 the Liberal nominee was returned with a majority of 342. The next year the district was Liberal-Unionist by a majority of 1,715, and Mr. Campbell was returned. On the death of Mr. Campbell a new writ was issued in June, 1888, and Captain Sinclaire, the Liberal, who was defeated by Mr. Camp bell at the previous election, was returned with 53 majority. The. More Recent Fluctuations. Captain Sinclaire subsequently resigned and a new writ was issued in Mnrch, 1890, when the district was contested by J. Somcrville, Conservative, and E. Bout ledge, Liberal. Mr. Somerville was elected by a majority of 130, and he contested the district in this election only to find that the electors bad gone back to their first love, the Liberals, and he was defeated by the annoying majority of 7 votes. Among the cadidates whose defeat is an nounced to-day is Henry Harrison, who some time ago visited the United States in the interest of the Pamcliite section of the Irish Parliamentary party. A dispatch lrom Dublin says: Rival polit ical factions at Portadown are rioting and fighting. They number 2,000 and have twice repulsed the police. Shots are being fired and several are wounded. The IndtjKndtnt (Parnellite) says that at a select circle of Liberals held in London last nicht, the announcement was made that the home rule bill would be postponed by agreement with the Irish party, in order that some big reform measure may be intro duced in the coming Parliament HE SAVED A BC0EE OF LIVES. A St. Gervals Hero Kefnses Any Reward Except a New Suit of Clothes. Paeis, July 14. The bodies of many of the people who lost their lives at St. Ger-vais-les-Bains, in the terrible disaster that occurred there Tuesday morning, have been claimed by friends. A large trench has been dug in the churchyard to receive the remains of peasants, bath employes and those who are mutilated beyond recogni tion. One of the hair dressers, who saved the lives of 20 persons at the Baths, was offered large sums of money by those he removed across the temporary bridge he constructed to a place of safety; but the only thing he would accept was a suit of clothes, his own clothing having been lost in the wreck, while the suit he wore was torn to pieces in his successful efforts to save the lives of the guests. GBEAT EIVEBS OF FIBE. bat The Eruption of Mount Etna a Sublime Frightful Spectacle. Rome, July 14. The eruption of Mount Etna is rapidly increasing in violence. Im mense streams of lava are pouring down the mountain side, and it appears certain that several villages and a number of dwellings will be destroyed. All the craters Are active. One is ejecting a continuous stream ot lava several yards deep and very wide. This stream presents the appearance of a river of fire, and though very beautiful is bound to ruin much property. Another of the craters is hurling large incandescent rocks to an immense height, While the edges of the third crater threatens to crumble. RUSSIAN DOCTORS MOBBED. Ignorant Peasantry Imagine That Cholera Patients Are IJelng; Bnrled Alive Many Killed When They Beslst Troops Bnvaj-es of the Disease In Astrakhan. St. PrTERSBDBG, July 14. Owing to a report that the doctors were causing cholera patients to be buried alive, the lower classes of the city of Saratoff arose in revolt against the authorities and the doctors on the 10th inst The populace wrecked and plundered tbe police station, cholera hospitals and the residences of the Chief of Police and physi cians. Several persons were dragged out of one hospital to save them, as the ignorant mob thought, from being buried alive. The medical assistants were attacked and two of them were killed. The rioters threatened to take full pos session of the city, and would undoubtedly have done so bad it not been for the oppor tune arrival of the troops, who had been summoned. The mob resisted the soldiers, and the latter were ordered to fire upon them. A volley was pourea into tne moo, killing three of them and wounding four others. The rioters then dispersed. Tbe Astrakhan Messenger publishes de tails of the recent riots at that place grow ing out of the cholera epidemic. It says that the mob held the town tor two days. A hospital was burned to the ground, and all the medical staff of the institution were moreor less injured. One doctor and his assistant were brutally beaten by the mob and trampled to dentil. The patients in the hospital were carried to the banks of the Volga and fed with milk, as a supposed antidote to the poison administered by the doctors, and several succumbed to this ex traordinary treatment Only the firing of infantry volleys brought the maddened mob to reason. Astrakhan has become the chief nursery of cholera on this side of the Caucasus. The epidemic advances more rapidly there than elsewhere. The latest reports of the progress of the disease in Astrakhan say that in one day 235 persons were attacked with cholera and 102 others died from the disease. HUNTING DOWN THE FAKIB. The London Genertl Postofllce Assisting Mr. Astor In the Investigation. London, July 14. Neither William Waldorf Astor nor Mr. Adams, his agent here, will give permission to anyone to see the dispatch received in Kew York by Mr. Baldwin, announcing the death of Mr. Astor. They say they are ferreting out the origin of the dispatch in their own wav, and that they do not want any further pub licity. Right Hon. Sir James Ferguson, Post master General, has given the Astor people authority to inspect all the cable dispatches that have been filed in London recently. The investigation thus far points unmistak ably to the fact that the originators of the plot were in New York. Mr. Astor's rep resentatives have seen the original dispatch that was filed here. It is believed they will be able to identify all concerned in the plot very soon. It is said Mr. Adams has intimated that a public prosecution is irai nent. Mr. Astor, though his health is im proving, is still confined to the house. ALL QUIET AT FADUCAH. After Another Skirmish in Which No One TV as Harmed, LonisviLL-E, July 14. Quiet prevailed at Paducah to-day. Art investigation was held this morning to determine, if possible, where the arms that the negro mob had are kept and who are the leaders of the mob. All negroes who cannot show that they have a means of living will be compelled to leave town. A judicial inquiry is also in progress to-day to determine who killed Elmer Edwards. Edwards was buried this morning with military honors. Henry Brown, colored, who last January stabbed to death Charles Hampton, keeper ot a negro saloon, was, after trial last night, sentenced to the penitentiary for life. There was another clash here last nicht between the wliites and blacks, but no one was injured. The militia had been relieved from duty, but have been ordered out again. Purvine, the negro shot Tuesday night, is dead, and the negroes say they must have vengeance. Last night a special police force numbering 100 men was put on duty to patrol the city, and every precau tionary measure was taken to pre serve the peace. At 8 o'clock the squad of men in the north eastern part of the city saw 150 negroes be yond Oak Grove cemetery, and several shots were exchanged. As soon as this iv-ord was communicated to the city authori ties 100 stand of arms were placed in the hands of determined citizens, who marched out to where the negroes were located. When the citizens reached the place they had retreated. DISGEACE LEADS TO SUICIDE. A Xonns Man Goes Over Niagara Falls to a Certain Death. Niagara Falls, July 14. Special. This afternoon about 2 o'clock a youne man leaped into the river lrom Prospect Point, and was carried down to death over the American falls. The suicide left a card upon which was written: Dear Father, Mother, Sister and Brother: Please pardon me for what I have done, but it is all for that woman. Noble Kesset. On the opposite side of the card was the advertisement of "Madame Percy, Dress making and School for Cutting and Finish, inc, 2G3 Maryland street, Buffalo. N. Y." This is the professional name of Mrs. Burs leim, of Buffalo. Recently Kenney worked for Mr. Bursleim, at the Cafe de Paris Buf falo. The woman referred to by the young man is probably one with whom he had been living on Seneca street, Buffalo. On Mon day she had him arrested for stealing a ring. It seems it was a gift of his, and, needing money, he had borrowed and pawned it. He was 21 years old, good looking, a nice dresser, and it is supposed the arrest preyed upon his mind.

Officers of the American Window Glass Association Asked to PDT UP A MUCH LARGER AMOUNT For-the Honest and Faithful Performance of Their Imty. THE DELEGATES TO TAKE AN 0UTIXG After the usual preliminary exercises had been completed at the convention of window glass workers in Southside Turner Hall yesterday morning President Eber hart announced to the many delegates that it was necessary for all resolutions touching on the business of the association to be banded in before the close of the day session. Immediately after the President had taken his seat the resolutions began pouring in and there were so many of them that only a few could be acted upon. Tne first resolution of any importance was one asking that window glass factories he limited to nine months' work instead of ten months, which is, now the rule. Many favored this measure, but after a close and exciting vote it was defeated. Another resolution of equal Importance was pre sented Immediately. It was to the effect that manufacturers should be obliged to engage their workmen 30 days before the end of the year's fire. . This was also lost After a vote had been taken upon this meas ure the noon hour had arrived and an ad journment was ordered. At 2 o'clock the delegates reassembled and a resolution was submitted that the term of the President and Secretary should not extend for more than one year at a time. This was thoroughly debated, but when balloted upon was defeated. Resolutions Against FInkertons. The next resolution on the programme was carried. It was to the effect that the President and council of the association be authorized to petition the proper guberna torial officers to take steps to prevent the hirine'of Pinkertons or armed detectives by any firm or company, the same to be utilized in a fight with wbrkingmen. Probably the most imnortant resolution of the day. but which was not acted upon. was the one which asked that the wages of gatherers be advanced to 70 per cent for single and 60 per cent for double boxes on 40xGO glass and to Co per cent on all double boxes over 40xC0. If this measure is adopted it will make an increase of about 10 per cent in the wages of the workmen specified. Another important resolution which was passed yesterday asked that the bonds of the President, Secretary and Treasurer be increased from ?3,000 to $10,000 and the bonds of the trustees be advanced from $3,000 to $6,000. Of all the above resolutions none were of any more prominence than that which requested the re-establishment of the International Glassworkers Union, but it is not expected that any action will be taken upon this particular measure before a day or two. An Invitation to an Inspection. During the meeting communications were received from the Chambers Glass Com pany and the Kensington Land Company asking the delegates to visit Kensington, the transportation and other expenses to be furnished by the hosts. This invitation was accepted. The trip will be made to-morrow afternoon. Just before the afternoon adjournment the Homestead matter was taken up. The resolutions which were handed in were ex amined, accepted and indorsed. They read as follows: Tho Window Glass Workers of America, in national convention assembled, would most earnestly request that the nccessnry leiral stops be taken forthwith to return to Mr. Andrew Carnegie all the monies or securi ties which have been received from him for the ereotion of a public library and other buildings In the city of Pittsburg. in common with the majority of the peo ple who are the wage workers of Pittsburg weaie wage earners and fully nppicclate the ciicumstances under which Mr. Cnrno- gie has accumulated his unearned, colloss.il fortune. As an employer he has ciadnally and surely fo miinaued and conducted the iron and steel industries under his control as to crush the individual manhood nnd power of his employes, and sublect the men who largely contributed to the upbuilding of his possessions to sacrifice manhood and sub mit to whatevor form of personal govern ment he deemed most efficient to obtain absolute dominion over the men who are employed in his works. Tho time has come when a city composed of workers should speak and act with emphasis in refusing to aid this man to self-glorification. While workers demand in vain becurity for biead to support their wives and children they will not be sntfsfled with stones and biicks which nie to compose these monuments to the memory of Andtew Carnegie. Objections to a Change of Dite, lho system which Carnesle and his creat ures have inaugurated, wheieby theireui ployes must abandon all the voluntary associations formed for their protection and for the protection of their widows and chil dren, is heartless and oppressive, in keep ing with tho proposal to require contracts for labor to end in the dead of winter, thus placing ho employes at the mercy of tho employer, both as to the price of labor and the privilege of homes for their families. The importation of Pinkerton thugs with their Winchesters was a challenge to the manhood of free American laborers. It was cleaily illeual, and thouttumpt tomnku non residents of Penn Ivania deputy sheriff, with authority to rule the people of Alle gheny county was an omrauo upon the law, and an insult to the dignity of the state. As well might Carnegie import oihrlnal thuirs lrom India, as from Chicago and New York. The wanton importation of Pinker ton tbngs, armed with deadly weapons and the consequent bloodshed leav ing helpless aud hopeless widows and orphans, was a great crime. The iron and steel works or this Carnegie Company, Limited, are largely filled with Imported non-English speaking foreigners, employed to occupy the places formerly filled by Americans. Many thousands of those imported foreigners "hear the sound" of prosperity from afar, but know not that they aie shipped across the ocean to work for wages insufficient to maintain American citizens. The methods which tho Carnegie Company, Limited, liavonsed to accomplish their ends have done more than any other thing ton ard sundering and embittering- the relations of good will and common interest which should exist and prevail between em ployer and employe. Exceptions to the Carnegie Library. Therefore, we earnestly request and de mand that no more money or valuable pub lic property be devoted or given to the Jumbo library for the perpetuation of tho memory of the little man up iu the High lands of Scotland. If he wishes a monu ment lot him endow it with the unearned millions which ho now enjoys. The wholo project of library and art buildings to be maintained at the cost of the taxpayer for all time is a fraud on the holy name of be nevolence. It cannot by any possibility cost less than $o.oooa year, and If the experience of the past is any cuide for the future, will cost ere long several times $40,000 each year. Expenditures from the public purse always grow and fatten with time. This library scheme is not ior tne people tuo common people it is for the few who bask iu the tunsblne of suddenly attained wealth. We therefore humbly and earnestly hope that this petition will meet with your ap proval, and that by your grunting it you will endear your own names to the lovers of right aud justice, and lend anew stimulus to the cause of organized labor, the only power destined to solve the vexed qnestion of the harmonizing of the interests of capital and labor.

A Little Syrian Waif Lands Alone on the Borders of the Kew iVorld. New York, July 14. A pathetic story which has touched the heart of Colonel Weber and his assistants at Ellis Island) is that of a little 3-ycar-old girl who arrived in this country a week ago alone. The little wanderer's name is Adene nana. She has never seen hef father. Three years ago he came to the United States. He wanted to make a home for his wife and child. The husband when last heard from was at New Orleans. For almost three years his wife waited for letters from him, but they never came. Sick and despondent, the poor woman sold her little furniture and decided to lollow her husband to the United Mates and try to find him. Mrs. Hana embarked on the steamship Cambria w ith her littlo girl. Directly on the vessel leaving port Mrs. liana fell ill, grow ing weaker and weaker until the third day after sailing, when she died. She was buried at sea. Little Adene did not know and could not understand what had become of her mother. The passengers told her that she had gone to Heaven. Ever since her arrival at Ellis Island little Adene has been making friends with every body from Colonel Weber down, and already she has come to be known as "the daughter or Ellis Island." Learning that no one was likely to claim Adene, Miss Lenddahl, a Swedish missionary, applied to Colonel Weber yesterday and was given permission to take charge other. THE BRAIN'S TEMPEBATTJBE. Various Experiments Which Have Been Made on Men and Hagi. Tonth's Companion, i Some interesting experiments have lately been made by Prof. Angelo Mosso, of Turin, on the temperature of the brain. It is a common observation that during pro longed mental exercise or excitement the head becomes hotter, but Prof. Mosso has applied very delicate heat-measuringappar-atus to ascertain the effect upon the brain temperature not merely of conscious mental effort, but of various stimulants and irri tants. The sensitiveness of the brain may be judged from the fact that during profound sleep a noise prodnced within the hearing of the sleeper, although not loud enough to cause an awakening, makes a perceptible rise in temperature. The administration of cocaine was ob served to cause a rise of more than seven degrees in the brain temperature. One of the effects of opium appears to be to pro duce a fall in the temperature of the brain before any of the other organs of the body are similarly affected, and indeed while they are yet rising in temperature. Great mental activity produces a condi tion of the blood which appears to be pois onous, especially to the muscular system. ProK Mosso has used both human beings and dogs as the subjects of his experiments. THE CENIEB FOB PEANUTS. Norfolk is the City V hlch Supplies the Mar kets of tho World. Philadelphia News. Norfolk has a crop which is worth mil lions of dollars annually peanuts. Nor folk supplies the civilized world with pea nuts. The street corner Italian who empties a pint in your overcoat pocket and the Parisian fruit merchant who weighs you out a quarter of a kilogram of the homely nuts get them from here, for this is the only peanut market in the world. Smyrna has its figs, P.arbary its dates, Bordeaux its grapes and Norfolk its pea nuts. What would life be without peanuts? One can scarce picture an existence which would be tolerable under such circum stances. The peanut magnates grow the edible tuber in Nansemond, Isle of Wight, Surrey and Southampton counties, but the common market is in Norfolk. The rows for the nuts are laid off three feet apart. They are made 15 inches deep, nnd phosphates are largely used as an underdressing. They are strewn along in these trenches about the middle of April, and mature alter the same term which is required for potatoes. AN uNFOBXUJTATE FELINE Which Is Pursued by Sparrows and Made an Object far Kevenge. Cincinnati Enquirer. J There is a lady living on Banklick street, in Covington, who has a large black house cat of the Maltese species, in which an in stance of the laws of humanity conveyed to the lower classes of living objects is shown that of revenge. There is a family of sparrows living in the trees near by, and for some reason tbey are the cat's deadly enemies. The cat has only to look out through the screen door when the birds will fly down and peck at the door as if they would tear the cat in pieces. When the cat wanders around the yard they fly at it from all direc tions and tear at its hide, but the cat only dodges around and tries to hit them .as though in play. The fight is still going on and probably will go on all summer, for the birds evidently have the full spirit of re venge in them, and would make tbe feline's life as miserable as possible. A PLANT WITH A M1S3I0IT. It Can Forecast the Weather, and Hardly Ever Makes a Mlitake. Thomas C. Peterson, a farmer living near Woodstown, N. J., has growing in his yard a remarkable floral curiosity. It is known as the weather plant, and from careful ob servation it very accurately foretells the state of the weather two days in advance, by changing the position of its leaves. If the leaves stand upward from the twit?, making with each other an angle of 45, the sky will be cloudless and the weather beau tiful in all respects. If they stand out straight, changeable weather is indicated. As the leaves drop below the twig the indi cations range toward rain, nntil when the leaves hang straight downward water may be expected to fall in torrents. A local storm is indicated by curling to gether ot the leaves, and a fog by a bending of the twigs. The seeds are the -size of sweet peas, round and hard and of a bright, scarlet color. HE BATS BAW WHEAT, The Founder of the Kdenlo School Explain! tbe Benefit of Ills System. Xew York San.l A few days ago a tall, clerical looking man, who gave the name of J. B. Bumford, of Los Gatos, Cal., appeared at Parkers bnrg, "W. Va., as an expounder of a new school of health, which he calls the Edenic School. He lives on cereals in a raw or natural state. "When asked if it was true that his diet consisted of raw wheat, he said: "Well, yes; I live largely upon wheat, although I occasionally eat other things, but never anything that has been cooked." He has not tasted a piece of beefsteak for ten years, and he has not eaten eggs, pud din?, pie, cake, tea or coffee. "Everything cooked," he said, "is a per verted nature product, and it shonld never go into the system. "When food is cooked it is devitalized dead, and physicians will tell vou that dead matter is poison." "How much raw wheat is necessary daily to keep the system in good working or der?" "With from a half to three-quarters of s pound of wheat per day a man can do a good day's work. There is a great amount ot nutriment stored up in raw wheat. While at my home in California I ate but one meal per day, hut since I have been traveling I have eaten two meals a day most of the time, and then only when hungry. I never eat at regular intervals." "How much does it cost a day to live on that sort of food?" "I can get along on 10 cents a day, bnt that is rather high. I have eaten some days only one or two cents' worth of raw wheat, and five cents' worth of rolled oats will last me twenty-four hours while traveling." He said that he had practiced his theory for ten years, and that now at the age of 60 years he felt young and vigorous, whereas at the age of 40, after living 03 mortals usu ally do, he felt old.
