ing tho morning-'session, making many

our delegate's stand so instructed.
It was openly charged and not dis
puted that the resolution was aimed
at Max Hayes, of Clevelartd, who had
been elected as a delegate to the con
vention of the American Federation of

ing him did not know that lie was a
Socialist. The friends of Hayes mado
most vigorous appeals against sealing
the lips of a delegate after he had been
elefted, but the report of the committee
was received with favor and the reso
lution was adopted by a large majority.

to pay twice for the same.
Opposition to Socialism.
At the night session the opposition. to
socialism and what is termed "political
Idealism" developed stronger than ever.

orous attempt to reconsider tho Instruc
tions Intended for him, and the motion
was laid on the table by a vote of 2 to 1,
Resolutions were adopted at the night
sasslon which Indicate a declaration of

and Assistants' union having recently
adopted resolutions demanding the re-,
Instatcment of the trl-pnrt agreement
or they would prohibit the use of the
label of the International Typograph
ical union, the committee on allied re
lations reported to the cbnvcntlou the
strongest resolution of defiance.
The nlght session closed with a dis
cussion on organizing newspaper writ
ers. Tho reports shffwed no success in
this department on account of the great

"Christian Science and Its Enemies," In
which he startlingly condemns the pul

Baker G. Eddy and Christian Science.
A representative of the press called
on Mrs, Eddy to Inquire ub to her en
dorsement of this hook. In reply, she
said: "Upon reading the grand pre
face of Mr. Kccne's book, I laid It aside
from lack of time just then, and sent
my compliments to tho author with an

his book thoroughly, I changed my
opinion, not of the author's talents,
scholarship, and high intent (although
I have never seen him), but of the ad
visability of publishing the hook, and
Immediately requested the parties to
discontinue publishing It in Its present

solely because the author's vehemence
In denouncing the pulpit's furious at
tacks upon me was not consonant with
my Christian sentiment. It is written
of our great Master, whose life and

today gave orders that hereafter the
names of the enlisted men of the army
who die in the Philippines be cabled to

chase Exposition company; Henry M.
Warren, of Philadelphia, son of Bishop

kept in ignorance of this fact for eight
or ten weeks, while the families of offi
cers wild succumb there are informed
nt once. The president was greatly In
terested In the matter and as it was
explained to him, ordered General Cor
bln to Instruct General Chaffee at

pleted plans for $5,000,000 worth of Im
provements to the Fair property In this
city, and It was his Intention on his
return from his sojourn In Europe to
sign contrasts for the week In contem
plation. The matter of the disposition of the
estates of the dead millionaire and his
wife has given rise to some little spec
ulation as to what will become of
Charles Fair's portion of his deceased
father's Immense holdings. It Is a
known fact that a very short time ago
both Mr. and Mrs, Fair mode wills dis
posing of their separate holdings and
tho community property, but Just what
the documents provide for, Messrs,
Knight and Haggerty, the attorneys of
Charles Fair, do not feel at liberty to
make publlo at this time,
Mrs, Fair was possessed of property
to the value of $35,0,000, und It Is
thought her will bequeaths her hold
ings to relatives in New Jersey, but
in the event of evidence being adduced
that Charles Fair succumbed to his In
juries llrst, Mrs, Fair's Interests in the
community property will naturally re
vert to her heirs und it Is this point
on which the disposition of the mil
lionaire's estate largely depends.
