A WAVE OF UNIONISM. How It, In Sweep I itic Over PeniiMyl TIU nla's Anthracite Field. A wave of unionism is sweeping over this part of the coal regions, and far sighted men are wondering whether there will not be a reaction that will injure the cause of the workingman. Ever since tlie victory of the United Mine Workers last October the fever to form unions has raged In the heads of nearly all other classes of workers who did not have a union. As a result the men who toil for wages are being unionized from one end of tlie coal re giou to the other, and it would be diffi cult to pick out a trade or a class of workers which lias not been organized or Is in the process of organization. Since the coal strike unions have been formed by the bakers, stationary engineers (two branches), street car motormen and conductors, silk mill workers (girls and men separatelyi. cotton mill spinners, lace-workers, bar bers, iron workers, bartenders, hotel and restaurant waiters, teamsters, brewers, store clerks, stage carpenters and property men, boiler makers, boot and shoe makers, gasmakers, coal hoist ing engineers, journeymen tailors, cab drivers and moldcrs. A dozen or more other unions are or ganizing. There must be the union label on everything sold or the store keeper will find that he Is rapidly los ing trade. Union flour, union bread, union meat, union groceries, clothing, shoos, hats, beer everything is de manded. Union papers flourish and boldly announce boycotts. Good is coming from this organiza tion, but much harm may result. The harm is in men looking o?i a union as a means to gain large pay with short working time, regarding the union as a power to compel employers to do as the workingiuen like and using it as a constant threat over the moneyed men. Already this is felt, although tlie work ers of the district are In but the first year of their unionism. Much as the conservative labor leaders deplore it, there are constant strikes, and the cry of the organizer that the union is to prevent aud not to encourage strikes Is not falling upon listening ears. The mine workers have been tlie fore most in striking, and there are now in this region nearly a dozen strikes, keep ing idle some 3,000 men and boys. The strikes are not justified, are not sanc tioned by the union and are causing a loss to both the miners and the opera tors. Strikes have been declared on the impulsive lieat of the moment, strikers have marched from one colliery to the next and induced the workers there to join them before tlie cause of the strike was known, in a score of cases a breaker hoy or a driver boy earning from (50 cents to sl.lO a day has been discharged for disobedience or neglect of work, and he has rallied the 100 other breaker boys or the 25 other driv er boys to his side by crying that he Is a union man and must be protected. Almost without fail they have rushed with a hurrah into a strike. As a con sequence 400 or 500 miners and labor ers earning from $1.50 to $3 a day have been compelled to lie idle, not that they favored the strike, but that without the driver boys or breaker boys the mine could not be worked. This has been as annoying to the miners, the labor lead ers and the conservative union element as it has been to the operators, and it has caused botli a considerable money loss. The union leaders have threaten ed to take away tlie charter of the lo cals whose men strike without authori ty, but the locals are no more to blame than the leaders, and they can no more control their men. Wilkesbarre Cor. New York Post (Nonunion). Immoral and Costly. In order to break up all the trades unions and prevent their reorganiza tion. the employers of the country would be forced to pay a bonus to their men in addition to their dally wage, and to keep on paying it—that is, there would la* a general, substantial and permanent increase in the wages of labor, granted as an Inducement to tlie meu to refrain from joining unions. This reduces the tiling to an absurdity, for employers would not consent to pay so higli a price to be rid of the occasional embarrassment of strikes. They could he rid of them at a far less cost by granting the demands of their men for higher pay. The strik ing moldcrs at Cleveland demanded only 25 cents a day at first, and tin's demand was finally reduced to 10 cents. The founders arc paying SI.OO more than tlie union men asked. Even if the employers of labor were willing to pay such a price to break the un ions, they would be unable to find money enough In the country to keep the plan in operation. The industries of the United States could bear no such burden. The plan is immoral because it Is bribery pure and simple. The employing founders pay the men now at work a bribe of $2 a day for the purpose of inducing tliein not to join the union.—New York Times. Child Labor In North Carolina. Sixty North Carolina mill owners, said to represent oxer 100 cotton mills, met in Greensboro, N. C\, recently and considered the questions of reductions of hours and child labor. An "agree ment and petition" was signed by 40 of those in attendance, and it was decided to circulate it among all the mill own ers of North Carolina for thole ap proval. It provider* that, taking effect March 1, a week's work shall not exceed 06 hours; no child less than 12 years old shall work in a cotton mill during a school term, provided this not apply to children of widows or physically disa bled parents; tHat ten years shall be the lowest limit at which children may he worked; all will promote the educa tion of the working people. On tlie strength of these agreements of the cotton mill owners the legisla ture will be petitioned P a *>& aaiy labia laws at this session. PEOFLE OF THE DAY, Hon. Shelby M. Cullom, who has boon chosen United States senator from Illinois to succeed himself, will next December begin his .fourth con secutive term in the upper house of die national legislature. lie was first elected in February, 1883. Trior to this latter date lie had served three terms as a member of congress and two terms as governor of Illinois. He had also been a member of the Illinois SENATOR SHKI.UY M. CULLOM. legislature. Shelby M. Cullom was born in Kentucky in 1820. but removed to Illinois when a boy. lie received a university education and adopted the law as a profession. lie was elected city attorney of Springfield soon after his admission to the bar. II is home is in Springfield, where he has resided for more than half a century. lYaldcck-Kofin>nu'M Pernonnitty. Waldeck-ltousseau is tin? strong uian who is gradually and slowly but surely dragging France out of the morass of the Dreyfus question, in which she has been weltering so long. He is a wealthy lawyer in one of the largest practices in Paris, and he was induced to leave his briefs and his magnificent iucoiue only by appeals to patriotism to get his country out of a terrible moss. And now lie lias not only held office for years, but practically lie lias put an end lo the Dreyfus question and all the hideous passions of which it was the parent. Wuldeek-Kousseau is one of the men whose exterior corresponds entirely to their character. lie looks rather more like the typical, dogged, tenacious, in flexible, unsentimental John Bull than a Frenchman. The face is rubicund; the hair is now gray; the o.ves, blue, are prominent and even protruding. is the jaw, however, which is the most remarkable feature of the face. It is as though it were a long, thick rod of iron instead of bone and flesh and blood and nerves. Indeed it is so prom inent that it almost stands out like a great muscle on the biceps of a prize fighter. The mouth, too, is a little like a deathtrap. The lips are compressed, but the underlip in particular is full and resolute. Altogether, with these staring, protuberant eyes, that Iron jaw and that compressed mouth and the general severity of look, M. Waldeck- Itousseau might pass for a grim type of soldier rather than for a man whose triumphs had been attained in the civic contests of the law court and the par liament house.—Exchange. Duke of Cornwall. Contrary to the generally preconceiv ed Idea, the Duke of York, eldest living sou of King Edward VII, is not to be the Prince of Wales. The title of Prince of Wales, which belongs of right only to a son horn of the king, is GEORGE, DUKE OF CORN WALL. not hereditary, hut must be conferred by royal patent. For some reason the king, who was Prince of Wales prior to the death of Ids mofher, has not seen fit to confer the title he Itas sur rendered for a greater one upon his sou. George, who has been hitherto the Duke of York, will henceforth be known as the Duke of Cornwall. Tli? KitiK mi Kplcure. King Edward VII is very conserva tive in the matter of eating and drink ing. He dislikes long lists of comesti bles, and as to beverages, it is well known to his friends that only certain wines are acceptable to his palate. lie is also very particular as to what ci gars lie smokes. He likes to sit down at a fixed hour to his meals and, very rightly, waits for nobody. Indeed, it is recorded of him that oil one occasion, while he was still the Prim e of Wales, when a relative, a personage of high degree, arrived an hour late for lunch eon, his royal highness observed: *1 hope you will like the coffee. It Is still quite hot." BOGUS PICTURES OF ANIMALi The Zoological Garden* Are Made to i Stand For Wllderneiiiea. I Ono of the developments of the mod | ern art of "faklug" is the manufacture of bogus photographs of wild animals which are supposed to have been taken under circumstances of extreme ditli culty. In fact, no kind of photography | is quite so difficult as this, because the beasts and birds of the forest must be approached very closely in order to make their portraits large enough on I the plate. It is all very easy, however, for the ingenious fakir, who makes his snap shots by daylight in a zoological park, the negatives or prints being afterward | touched up in such away as to elimi nate any suggestions of wire fences or , other accessories of the outdoor menag j erie. Having got his pictures, he labels I them In a suitable manner and writes i an article to go with them describing the extraordinary adventures and hair breadth escapes which he encountered ' on a trip through the wilderness, dur ing which the portraits of these "wild" | and often ferocious creatures were taken. Only a short time ago a fakir of tills kind obtained from the superintendent of tlie New York zoological park a number of excellent Hiiap shot pictures ! of animals in the collection there which , had been taken by the superintendent's own photographer. To supplement these he secured a number of other photographs similar in character from the zoological park in Washington. Then lie exhibited tlie entire lot as hav ing been taken out in the wilds. For example, a bear In the zoological park at Washington was located in the Maine woods, and a dear old billygoat beloved of Washington children was described as desperate and wild. With tin? pictures be gave a very ex ; citing description of his experiences as ! an artist hunter in securing these mar velous snap shots* This is only one form of a species of fraud that has become popular of late. One ingenious individual, who narrowly escaped prosecution awhile i ago for counterfeiting rare eggs and selling tin* bogus specimens to mu j Beums and private collectors, has re cently turned up with exquisitely life like photographs of birds, which in reality are produced by the help of stuffed specimens artistically attitudl ; nized with wires.—Saturday Evening Fost. —_— Sweden Make Odor Proof Paper. I Tlie Swedes as well ns the Germans have invented some remarkable appli ances for paper, among which is a ; grease proof paper which is superior to any other so far produced, but ! which will soon be matched by an i equally good if not better article made | in this country. Ono of the uses of this grease proof paper abroad is for the wrapping of butter for shipment. While there is plenty of merely grease proof paper now made here, that is used extensively for the wrapping of hams, bacon and similar food prod ucts, it lias not the merit of being odor proof as well as grease proof, and but i tor is so sensitive to odors that this I paper would not serve in packing it for shipment. The Swedish grease proof paper, on the other hand, is absolutely odor proof as well, and nearly all of the vast quantities o£ butter shipped from Denmark to England is wrapped in it. The butter reaches Great Brit ain in pound packages closely envelop ed in the grease and odor proof paper packages that in a sense are hermetic ally sealed. A Siicnal For Mum. | Professor Flammariou, the noted French astronomer, suggests that a good way to attract the attention of the inhabitants of Mars would be to arrange great lights at Bordeaux, Marseilles. Strassburg, Paris, Amster dam, Copenhagen and Stockholm. These lights would reproduce an out line of luminous points the same in arrangement as that presented by tlie stars forming tlie constellation of the Great Bear, or Big Dipper, in the northern sky. The Martians seeing this might respond with another such ligure, and thus communication would be set up between the intelligent be ings in the two planets. Professor Flammariou is the most enthusiastic of the astronomers who are interested iu Mars and firmly believes that that planet is inhabited by creatures su perior to men. The Twcntletli Cenlnry, The title "Twentieth Century"—with the exception of one magazine—is cu riously absent from twentieth century literature. Most people kept away | from the jubilee to avoid the crowd. Sir Henry Irving once wandered sup pcrless about Oxford, all the dons thinking each of the others was enter taining him. So every publisher has stolen a march on rival firms by not | using "The Twentieth Century" be ! cause "everything will bo called that soon." The twentieth century has been overadvertised. The first play, waltz, entree, song or French poodle that has the originality to he called "Twentieth Century" is assured of success.—Lou don Sphere. All Old Soldier*.

Washington conform to his lutest fad ; of eating a dinner in 45 minutes. Mr. Ilale has tried it several times, watch in hand, and society is gossiping about these idiosyncrasies of the dis tinguished senator. Senator and Mrs. Hale have ever slQce their first residence here been famed as good dinner givers. For sev eral years Mrs. Hale's health has not been good. This season Mrs. Hale has returned to Washington, and the splendid cream colored mansion at K anil Sixteenth streets has again opened its hospitable doors. Several dinner parties have al ready been given since the opening of congress, and it is In connection with these that roclety Is gossiping. During his wife's absence Senator Hale refrained from entertaining, but recently evolved a social revolution, which he proceeded to let loose Upon the fashionable world. Society declares that 45 minutes is far too short for even the briefest menu to be served with any degree of comfort or subsequent digestion. More than that, Senator Hale has most de cided likes and dislikes in the matter of his table diet and cannot be induced to serve oysters or fish. Then the senator established an em bargo against serving either punch or entrees, so that this season his dinner parties ore exceedingly simple. At one recently given the menu is said to have consisted simply of soup, terrapin, fillet of beef, roast potatoes and baked ap ples. The most astonishing part: of the per formance is that the senator sits at the head of the table, holding in his hands his large gold watch, by which lie times the visitors, silently calling their attention to the passing moments. One pretty young woman with a healthy appetite, in speaking of this new phase of Senator Ilale's dinner giving, said: "It really is too had. We go away from the table almost as hungry as we went. We are hurried through at such a rate one fairly feels as if steam or electricity must he used in serving, and as for the various courses, they are whisked on and oIT at such a rate I positively do not know half the time what has been served."—Washington Cor. New York Journal. The Aero*eo|ie. Among the scientific toys at the Paris exposition was an instrument named the "aeroscope." It consisted of a wooden paddle about fii 2 feel long and 3 inches broad, whitened with chalk and turning about its middle at the rate of 1,500 turns in a minute. When in motion, the paddle resembled a thin circular screen through which objects could be seen. At a distance of nearly four feet behind the whirling paddle and parallel to its plane of rotation was fixed a black screen. The appu [ rat us being placed In a dark chamber, l a brilliant photographic image of sonic object wus projected upon the moving paddle, and immediately the Image seemed to stand forth with nil the solidity of a rqal object. Tlie perspec tive was supplied by the reflection ol the image from the black screen he hind as well as from the semitranspar- I cut screen formed by tlie rotating pad dle. Aluminium Hook*. It is stated that experiments with aluminium as a substitute for paper are now under way in France. It is well known that the paper used today in the manufacture of books is not durable. It is now possible to roll aluminium into sheets four-thou sandths of an inch in thickness, in which form it weighs less than paper. By use of suitable machinery these sheets can be made even thinner and can be used for book and writing pa per. The metal will not oxidize, is practically fire and water proof and is indestructible by the jaws of worms. But what about the cost?—Papenua ker.
