"The labor question is the serious problem which Is confronting the Ha waiian sugar planters at the present time," said Civil Service Commissioner A. W. Rodenberg, who arrived In Washington recently after an extended trip in the islands for the purpose of putting the civil service law into opera tion there. '* "The proper kind of labor Is scarce already, and future agricultural devel opments will be greatly retarded unless some provision is made to supply this element in the community. The Chi nese are the ideal sugar plantation workers. They are better workers than either the Japanese or Portuguese, and, besides, they give no trouble. They are quiet and always live up to their con tracts. Since the islands were an nexed, however, no more Chinamen can be secured, and sugar planters are deeply interested in this question. "I am informed that u strong effort will be made by Hawnllans at the next session of congress, when legislation on the Chinese question will be made necessary by the expiration of the Geary act, to have a clause In the new law providing that Chinamen may be brought from China to the Hawaiian Islands under contract to do purely agricultural work for a period not to exceed ten years, when they will be de ported. Under the terms of such a provision it Is believed that no con fliet would be precipitated with organ ized lubor, as the law would provide that the Chinamen should do nothing but agricultural work, and this class of work lu Hawaii white men cannot do on account of the climatic conditions. "There Is also another contemplated solution of the question which Is re ceiving serious thought and Investiga tion at the present time, and that Is to Import uativo Filipinos to work on Hawaiian sugar plantations. This idea, I believe, has never been made known here, but several large planters In Hawaii have investigated the propo sition sufficiently to predict that the Filipinos may yet solve the perplexing labor question of those Islands." Labor anl l'uhllc OwncrMliip. The civic council of New York has sent a circular to 100 labor organiza tions of the city, with 40,000 members, asking for a yea or nay vote on the fol lowing propositions: "The right of cities to determine the wages, hours and conditions of all city employees and of all employees of cou tractors doing work for the city. "Steps toward replacing the contract system by direct employment on city work. "The elimination of revenue making investments in estimating the city debt limit. "Successive steps lu municipal own ership and operation." The returns from this referendum will be used as the basis for an agita tion that shall have Influence in a non partisan way on the politics of the coming municipal campaign. There is no doubt that these 40,000 worklngmen will "resolve" their ap proval of the measure, but it is a ques tion what they will do when it comes to action later on. Secretary Bliss of the civic council suid: "We believe that if the KM) or ganizations represented in the council, with their 40, (MX) members, are united upon these measures it will have great educational and political effect in gain ing these rights for the wage earners." Ilrooklyn'N Labor Temple. The labor organizations of Brooklyn have started to build u central meeting place and clubhouse for the working men of that borough. Ground was bro ken July 4, Independence day, and it is intended to spend SIOO,OOO to put the unions In their own building, independ ent of nil landlords. The structure will be raised on the site of the old Labor lvceuin, destroy ed by tire, near WlUoughby and Myrtle avenues. It is planned by Architects Juhn A Co. to be a three story and basement structure of 75 feet frontage and 207 feet in depth. In the basement will be a large ballroom and dining hall. On other floors there will be a gymnasium, kindergarten and lodge rooms. The lower half of the building will be of granite ami limestone, the upper part of light brick with terra coda trimmings. Although this building is to be used by Brooklyn organizations, many trades unions throughout New York city are contributing to the construction fund, ami each of these unions will be enti tled to representation In the Labor Ly ceum association and its board of man agement. An effort will be made to complete the structure by next Thanks giving day. Women In Labor War. The wives, daughters, sisters and sweethearts of trades unionists in this city are to organize and by systematic effort help their brothers to win the battles of labor. Mrs. A. M. Livingston, president of the New York branch of the American Federation of Women, in an address to the Central Federated union roused the delegates In that body to enthusias tic approval of the federation's plan to enlist the active support of the "wom en folks" in workingmcn's families to ward the ends that organized labor lias in view. "it is the women who can win your battles for you," exclaimed Mrs. Liv ingston, "if only they are shown how to do the work." Then she explained the various ways In which the fair sex as missionaries and advocates of unionism and espe cially as buyers for the household can wield n powerful influence in building up the organizations that secure good wages for the men and in patronizing merchants who recognize and show their friendship for the labor move ment.—New York Journal. & THE COLD SPARE BED.

A Story of Love and J9 v Intrigue. o o K o'*o r *o*o*o o*o o*o*o*ofco'*c "I Insist, inadame," said Anijmtnr j Pnsha, his eyes burning with anger and the passion which iKissessed him. ! "And why refuse me? 1 love you be | yond reason. I have never loved ns I love you. Everything you can desire ; shall be yours, Sophronla." j "Call me mndame," replied a beautl | ful woman, with face of classic pro | file, surveying the almost frenzied : pasha with a cold contempt which ag gravated both his fury and his desire. "I have already told you, pasha, that I decline to share yotir affections with the 50 or more estimable ladles of your ha rein." ! "Then you have been playing with me, inadame," growled the puslia. "You have led me to think you were not In different to me. And here. In Illutza, I am master, and you shall not leave 11- j lutza except to become my wife." Here j he took a stride toward her ns If he would seize her there and then and ! carry her off. | "Take rare!" She sj>oke In n low, I clear, unmoved tone. "A step nearer, j and you are a dead man. I carry a re i volver. I can hit the nee of hearts nt 120 yards. My nerve Is good; my hand |ls steady. Any violence, and the next , second Amnntor Pasha Is a corpse." I He stood stock still. Her coolness calmed him, conquered his rage, but ! Inflamed his admiration. ' "As the English say, you are a cool hand," he remarked. To himself ho thought: "I will have her now at all costs. What a bride for a pasha! What nerve! What a resource! With her, who knows, I might bo grand vizier— j sultan even!" And he was jH'rhaps not far wrong. Madame was of many shifts. It was ! she who In the great South African war had been a spy of fame. Courted by the highly placed and susceptible In | the British camp In various parts of i South Africa, she had kept Paul Kru- I ger and Cronje and Christian I)e Wet I and Erasmus Informed of all that was I doing In tin* English army. Iler na tionality was a matter of guesswork. 1 Some said she was French, others Rus | shin, but she was known as "Madame" par excellence. "1 will take my leave now, mndame," said the pnNhn, drawing his handsome form up to Its full height, "but you 1 shall marry me. H "A very good morning to your excel lency," said Sophronla Valoffsky, with a mocking nod, "but 1 shall not marry ! you." The pasha withdrew, with never a word more, and two minutes later } there was a clatter of horses on the roadway ns he and hIH staff galloped , off up the little stroot. "Bah!" murmured Sophronla as she ! peeped out at him through the Jalou sies. "Not a bad looking man either and sits his horse well." Turning 1 from the window, Sophronla Valoffsky ' contemplated her face and figure In a huge mirror which stretched from floor to celling on one side of the apartment, and then, snatching up u leather head ed baton, she struck smartly a large gong. It was almost Immediately an -1 swered. ! "Bring me my hooded fur clonk nt once, Lona," said inadame, "and cloak 1 yourself as well, for 1 shall want you." Madame went to a sideboard and poured herself out a liqueur, while she lit the daintiest of dainty cigarettes. She had not blown half a dozen whiffs of smoke when Lona returned and quickly enveloped her mistress In the warm cloak. "Sklavatz Is to be found today, Lo na?" "Yes, gracious mistress; at the yel low khan In the lower town." "Then conduct me there. No time la to be lost. My liberty Is threatened, Lona, and may be gone from me at i any moment." As she spoke Mine. Va loffsky stepped toward the Jalousie. I "Illst, Lona! There Is a body of Turk ish soldiers coming down the bill es ! cortlng a closed carriage. Bolt and barricade the front door while 1 run by the back." | Lona, having done her work, rushed after her mistress. She knew the Mac adonlan town thoroughly and led ma dame by devious and Intricate turnings ito battle pursuit. Besides, the twilight had begun to deepen, and rain was fulling and threatening to fall heavily, i At last they reached the lower town $ find, ngaln pursuing windings seeming ly Interminable, they at last passed up a narrow passage to where, underneath an ancient Roman wall, a bright light issued forth from a large Interior. * "The khan—the yellow khan," whis pered Lona beneath her breath. Mine. Valoffsky sighed a sigh of relief, and her gait assumed Its wonted undulating grace ns she stepped forward toward the open front of the khan or rude Inn. A number of men In the garb of the Macedonian mountaineer were sitting within, carousing out of drinking horns, Jesting and laughing loudly. A dead silence fell on them all ns Sophro nla Valoffsky stepped forward and stood calmly facing them, a dream of beauty so she seemed to those stal wart fellows while L#ia quietly, ns became the waiting woman, took her place a little to the left of wndnme. "Where Is Sklavatz?" said inadame, with clear, bell-like, penetrating voice. "Sklavatz, yonr excellency! lie Is within," said one of the men. "Skla vatz! Sklavatz!" Instantly n tall, handsome, splendidly made Macedonian stepped from the In terior of the khan and raised his hat high In a not ungraceful Hnlute. "At your service, gracious lady," said he. "Pray, what are your commands?" Hophronla then drew from the folds of her dress a smnll leather letter hold er, from which she took a document, which she handed to Sklavatz. He pe rused It, his Interest rising ns he read. Then he folded It and handed It hack, with an nlr of great devotion and in creased deference. "Can I speak with you alone?" she asked. "Come with me, madfline." And he led her Into an lntenor apartment. Quickly she told him of the peril which threatened her from Amnntor Hnslm. "If your excellency lets him know by how great a personage you are hon ored." "But he must not know. It Is Imper ative he should not." And then In a low tone she unfolded to him her plans. She must he saved after having se cured her quarry. "It shall 1H done, your excellency," said Sklavatz at Inst, "if It costs me my life and that of all my kinsmen." When mndame and Lona returned to their residence, the Turks had gone, and Sophronla nt once sat down ami wrote a most caressing note to Amnn tor Pasha, and this she sent to the palace at once, smiling slyly as she thought how the great eyes of Ainan tor Pasha would glow ns he read the perfumed page, how lovingly he would linger his long mu.stachios. Two days later Sophronla sat In a closed carriage with dispatch boxes near her containing documents by which both the Ottoman and (Jerman governments laid the utmost store. They were going to Amnntor Pasha's shooting box, which lay near a lakelet In a lovely mountain glen. A few Bashl-Bazouks were the sole escort. Some cantered In front; a denser body brought up the rear. Amnntor on a handsome charger caracoled gayly In sight of the open window of the car riage. They were In tlie center of the dellle of Jnlouf when suddenly n rifle shot rang out amid the stillness of the mountain solitude, ami n horseless steed came clattering past the carriage. Amnntor Pasha galloped forward to see what had happened. Before he had ridden f>o yards the mountains wore echoing with the sharp, swift volleys poured In on all sides. The Bashl-Bazouks In front were shot down to a man. Those In the rear, having lost heavily, turned to fly. but their retreat was rut off at the mouth of the Jnlouf defile, and not one es caped. ***••* Again Sklavatz stood bareheaded In front of Sophronla Valoffsky, who smiled on him her sunniest smile ns she sat bnek In the carriage. "And the pasha?" she asked. "He Is dead, mndame." "It Is well," said she; "he became In solent." Later In the day Sophronla turned to her trusted servant after a few mo ments' reflection. "This Is a great coup. Lona." said she. "But this Mace donian-did you see his look? He loveS me."—Fenny Pictorial Magazine. Why Flower* Bloom uiul Illril* Hlotf. The old comfortable belief of our forefathers that the flowers and fruits and all the good things of the earth were created for their benefit lias been completely shattered by science. The shining gold of April celandine, the scent of white violets, are not for us at all. says science, not even for the in sects that come to them for honey, but Just for the sake of the flowers them selves, which must get cross fertilized or die out. Self, self only, is the bed rook of It all. So the violets are, not fragrant for us, and the thrush was not made to sing on our account, but to charm his mate, and the star* do not shine so as to light our way through the wood and across the wild on moon less nights. Fortunately this discovery need not take away our appetite for the feast which Is spread out. We need have no more compunction In coining to it un invited than has the bee or the moth In sipping the nectar of the blossom. It may even be that we, like they, do render unconsciously some return for benefits received.—Saturday Review. (i. A. 11. IU-l'nloQ, South Bethlehem, I n Low faros via the. Lohigh Valley Kail road.
