It is proposed under the new plan to do away with all that, making the federation and the orders which will retain their entity as a part of the consolidation purely protective. The annual conventions entail additional expense, and some of that will be avoided under the new plan. The plan proposed of getting at a grievance will be so changed that the railroad companies will not be forwarned. It developed also that among the matters transacted at the various conventions this fall was the appointment by each of the orders of committees given full power to act on the new plan of federation proposed. That of the Switchmen's Mutual Benefit association was appointed at Dallas, at the convention in September: that of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen at Cincinnati the week previous, and others at various dates about that time.

It is significant that former Grand Master Frank Sweeney, of the switchmen, who had steadily opposed co-operation with the trainmen on account of their action in connection with the lockout in Chicago in 11591, was defeated. This was generally ascribed to the disastrous result of the Buffalo strike, but the removal bad been threatened long before, because of his opposition to the federation. In his stead was elected E. Wilson, of Lacrosse, known to be in favor of federation. Be Hated to Spend the Money, bat Mad to Do It.

ICouynghted by Lee Shepard. Iliston! and published by special arrangement withthem. Mr. Phipps. of the firm of Phipps Hodge, the Danbury undertakers, was sitting in his suop Saturday afternoon, ruminating gloomily upon tbe dull times, when the door opened and in came a stranger.

The visitor was a slim faced man, dressed in a dun colored suit of rather tight fitting clothes. He looked clear around the room, carefully avoiding a glance at the undertaker until the circuit was completed. Then he looked curiously at him and said: "Is the boss Yes, sir; Tm one of them. Is there anything I can do for yon, "Well, that'll depend on how we bin 1 reckon," replied the stranger in a tone of subdued shrewdness. "I have just had to shoulder a pretty heavy affliction.

My old woman went under yesterday." He paused and looked inter rogatively oveT the array of coffins ami caskets. "Your wife is dead?" inquired Mr Phipps, with professional anxiety, "You've hit it boss." replied the stranger with an approving nod. "What time yesterday the sad event occur?" "About 5 p. as near as we kin reckon." "Pass away peacefully?" "Lit out without a groan," explained the bereaved. -'She'd been sick, off an on, for about two years an better: Not right down sick all that time; but then I don't think she done a square day's work in two years.

It's been a great expense all through; but I don't complain, howsumever. I came in today to see about fixin her np." "Ah, yes! You wish to 6ecure a burial case. We have, as you see, various kinds. You will want something rather nice, I fanoy?" said Mr. Phipps.

"Well yes; 1 want something that will show considerable grief an sorrer. but nothin that's going to upset folks, you know. We are plain people, boss, an at a time like this, with a great affliction shouldered on us, we don't feel like riling up the neighbors. If it was a hnsMn" bee, now, or a barn raisin even, Td calculate to make their eyes prance right around in their heads, but," and he sighed heavily, "this is a hoss of another color." "How would this do?" suggested Mr Phipps, indicating a plain rosewood. "What's the price of that? You see, boss, we 4ive over in Baxter Plain.

It's a small place, an there ain't much style. We don't want to go in too heavy, you know." "Certainly tiot, but this- is a rather neat looking article. "Yes," coincided the widower, "it does eeem as if one needn't feel uneasy with that coffin in the front room, an the room full of people." "I can let you have that for forty-five 1 "Jee Oh, I couldn't think of paying thatl Forty-five dollars! why, you kin get a wagon in two colore for that money. You see, boss, this is a plain country an not a torchlight procession." feelingly explained the widower. i will this do, next inquired the undertaker, hastily pointing to another article, of common wood, brightly stained.

"How much is that?" "Only eighteen dollars. Eighteen dollars, hey? Well, that much more like it. Still, don't it strike you that eighteen dollars is pretty steep for these times?" VNot'foran article like. that. sir.

1 can assure you that such a coffin could not have been bought for a cent less than twenty-two dollars one year ago." "It may be cheap, as you say," ruminated the bereaved. "Yet eighteen dollars is a good big pile of money. I want something nice, of course; but I don't want to jump in so mighty heavy as to make people think I never had a funeral before. You get what I mean?" "Now, "this is an article that just answers the purpose, in my judgment: and I have had years of experience." "Yes, yes. You must 'av' tucked in a heap of em," said the stranger in a tone of unqualified respect.

'This is a sound one I suppose," he continued, tapping the sides. "Perfectly so; we use the very best kinds of wood," explained Mr. Phipps. "Just see here a minute," exclaimed the stranger, suddenly and impressively drawing the undertaker to one side. "You say that coffin is sound as a nut, an you want eighteen dollars for it.

1 want you to understand there ain't anything small about me, an that I've got just "as much respect for the dead as any other man living, I don't care where you snake him from. But winter is coming on, you know, an we owe a little to the living as well. That's a sound coffin, an a sound coffin does well enough in the right place, you know; but I want to ask you, as a man of experience in these things, an understanding what grief is, if you ain't got a box of that pattern that's got some sort of a defect in the wood, which you could knock off a little on. I haven't, sir." "Just think a minit, please," he anxiously resumed. "Nothing a little rotted?" The undertaker shook his head.

"With a wormhole or so in I don't mind a dozen." suggested the sorrowing one. V.X-,K. v. "No." J- t- "Or a little sappy? Don't answer too quick; take time. Just a little sappy where it wouldn't be 6een by the public, you know?" "1 haven't such a piece of wood in the establishment.

We use none that is imperfect." "Eighteen dollars it is, then?" sighed the afflicted. "Yes, sir." "1 must take it, I suppose," he observed. "But when the neighbors see that coffin they'll swear that old has struck a gold mine. Now, mark my And he passed gloomily out. J.

Phone 12, vnoyUH THE JUDGE'S SUMMING UP; Awarded $2,503 Damages and Costs to Be Paid by llrs. Smythe. The FlaintifT Applauded in tbe Court and Cheered on tbe Sticet Another Great Sensation iu 1I13 Deacon Case.

Tbo Wife Steals Her Eldest Child from a Convent and Defies the French Court. London. Nov. 5. The jury in the suit of "Mrs.

Oliva Leader, wife of Lieutenant Leader, of the British army, against Mrs. Eleanor Smythe, wife of Major General Smythe, of the British damages for slander, in haviug charged Mrs. Leader with the theft of a brooch, gave a verdict for Mrs. Leader for ttJ.500 damages. verdict means, with costs and additional damages, that the defendants will bave to pay at least $7,500.

The verdict was greeted with applause, which the court immediately suppressed. Thj friends of Mrs. Leader crowded around her and enthusiastically congratulated her. She waited in the court room only long enough to shake bands with her Mr. Lockwood.

after (which, accompanied by her husband, she quickly walked through the corridor and entered a cab. A large crowd blocked the Strand, and Mrs. Leader iondly cheered. The police attempt. io clear the street, but their efforts wero yain until after Mrs.

Leader had passed. Both Mrs. Leader and Mrs. Smythe were on hand when the court resumed its sitting yesterday. The former seemed to be in better spirits.

Coun.cellor Lock-wood resumed his argument for Mrs. Leader, claiming, among other things, that Mrs. Smy trie's own testimony had shown that it was impossible for Mrs. Leader to nave stolen the brooch. Mr.

Lockwood's speech wajs rewarded with applause. The Judge's Summing Up. The judge's summing up rather favored Mrs. Leader's side of the case. He said the jeweler who bad sold the brooch to Mrs.

Smythe had failed, after three examinations, to find his private mark on the brooch produced in court, which was the brooch Mrs. Leader had sold. The main issue of the case being one of identity, the evidence of this jeweler was absolutely iu favor of Mrs. Leader. He asked the jury to consider the improbability of a woman of Mrs.

Leader's position, with plenty of money and jewelry, stealing a brooch of minor value from the dressing table of her friend while the friend was in the room, wearing it on the same day and selling it within a stone's throw of Mrs. Smyth's house. At this point the audience applauded and Justice Day remarked: "If I knew who were the vulgar persons who applauded, and who are treating the court room as a place of private entertainment.I would give them such punishment as would prevent them for a long period from making similar noises. He expressed surprise at the line of defense, and said that if the defendant had pleaded that she had uttered the Blander on a privileged occasion he might have held that that view was right in the absence of express proof of malice But the defense justified the slander and Undertook to prove to the satisfaction of the jury that the brooch had been stolen by Mrs. Leader from Mrs.

Smythe's room. With Tegard to Mrs. Leader's position it was important to remember that sL was not in want of money. Viewing ah the evidence he must say that if the case had been taken to a criminal court he would not, on the evidence of Mrs. Symthe, have allowed the charge to go before a jury.

It was open to the present jury to decide whether Mrs. Smyth was actuated by malice in uttering the charges against Mrs. Leader. THE DEACON CASE." Tho Wife Steals Her Eldest Child from a Convent. Paris, Nov.

5. Another great sensation has developed in the Deacon case. As soon as the tribunal of the Seine delivered its decision dismissing Mrs. Deacon's suit for divorce, and ordering that the eldest child, then in a convent, be delivered up to Mr. Deacon Mrs.

Deacon hastened secretly, to the convent of Our Lady of the Assumption, in the department of the Marne, bent upon carrying off the child and thus both defying the authority of the French Court and baffling Mr. Deacon. The sympathy of the nuns of the convent and of the people of the neighborhood has been with Mrs. Deacon, who was known to tbe latter as "La Pricesse Americano," and was much beloved for her goodness and kindness to the poor and suffering. When Mrs.

Deacon arrived the news of the court's decision wa3 unknown to the convent and Mrs. Deacon was admitted as usual. But little is known of what occurred within the Mrs. Deacon had a carriage at the gate and she seemed calm and serene as usual, evidently suppressing her emotions in order not to excite suspic ion. She asked and obtained leave to take the elder of the children a ride, and after kissing the younger tenderly she walked with the former to the carriage.

At first she drove slowly, but increased her speed as the convent and adjoining group of houses disappeared from view. Mr. Deacon drove up to the convent shortly after his wife bad gone. He was amazed and maddened when he learned the situation, but no more amazed than the lady superior when she learned the strategy of the good Mrs. Deacon.

Mr. Deacon at once appealed to tbe police who readily joined him in attempting to overtake bis wife. It seems impossible tbat she could escape from France as the police everywhere have been warned to be on the lookout and to arrest her and the child wherever found. Deacon is determined to get possession of the child. Gold in Ohio.

Bob Fitzsimrnons, the pugilist, has agreed to fight Hall at New Orleans for a purse ol $40,000.

THE CRESCENT CITY'S TROUBLES.

A General Strike May Be Ordered "Labor Organisations Dissatisfied. New Orleax3, Nov. 5. There have been very few developments this morn ing in the strike situation and no action has been, taken by the merchants to avert a general tie-up. which has been ordered for today.

The business community is making preparations in the event "that the order of the Amalga mated council is carried out, and the Electric Light and Gas company is taking, steps to prevent the city from being thrown into darkness during the Btrike. The executive committee of the merchants met yester day and discussed the situation. No further concession will be matte oy tee merchants until tbo labor side shows a disposition to treat dispassionately. The opinion prevails that the general strike will not be a3 serious its it would have been if it had been inaugurated on Tuesday. The union 'organizations will meet this afternoon to decide whether they shall go into the strike.

Some of them, including the stationary engineers and the stevedores and 'longshoremen, are on record as opposing the strike. The Typographical union also meets this afternoon. Many of its members are against leaving their cases unless ordered oUt by the International union. The strikers are becoming restless and discontented, but up to noon there has been no violence reported. Another Esquimaux Baby.

Chicago, Nov. 5. Another Esquimaux girl baby was born at Jackson park yesterday. The fathers name is Kufa and the mother's Kotuituk, which translated means "Big Adam's Apple." Out of this wealth of etymology and significance they have evolved for the helpless child, and saddled on to her the name Kotuktook, which means "The Stutterer." She will not be christened so, however, and no minister will have to pronounce the name, for the parents are from the far north of Labrador, and are the most absolute of heathens. Weather Forecast.

The shah Persia, probably for a little diversion, some time since ordered his grand vizier to make a list of all the blockheads that held a public office in Persia. The vizier did as commanded and headed the list, which was a long one, with the name of the shah. That worthy potentate in an excellent humor and did not become angry at the vizier's audacity, but asked why bis highest minister considered him a block head, "Your majesty," replied the vizier, "1 have put yon on the list because two days ago you intrusted a large sum of money to some doubtful individuals to buy horses other countries. The horse dealers will never return." "But what if they do return?" aske the shah. "Then 1 shall take my list, erase the name of your majesty and substitute for it the names of the stupid horse dealers." Detroit Free Press.

The steamer brings quite a batch of interesting news," the most important item of which is the phenomenal catch of thirty-eight right whales credited to the steam whaler Mary D. Hume during her years' cruise near the mouth of the Mackenzie river, and well within the arctic circle.

It is estimated that the catch will amount to over $400,000 when sold. The Mary D. Hume may be expected to arrive here at any time, as she left Oonalaska three days ahead of the Bertha. She has on board 40,000 pounds of boiiewliicli will be shipped east on its arrival. An additional 15,000 pounds of- this season's catch has already been shipped here by another vessel.

When the news of the immense catch reached here there was joy in the hearts of many outside of the stockholders of the Pacific Steam Whaling company. The boarding house masters, from old Horseshoe Brown down, who will get the crew'to honor their establishments with their presence, were wild with delight. The lowest whaler on the lay scale on this lucky vessel will not receive less than $2,000, while the scale will rise until the captain will pull down something like $40,000. Every whaler on the Hume will be a little king while his money lasts. However, had these men had a disastrous season and come home empty handed it would have made an awful difference with them.

Many of the sailor boarding houses are well filled with boarders who have disposed 1 of their "pile," and the Hume's crew would, hardly have found a place to stop at, let alone be welcome, but for their present prospective wealth. The steam whaler Grampus, which accompanied the Hume two years and a half ago to the mouth of the Mackenzie river, returned a year ago in command of Captain Norwood. The men on the Grampus told terrible tales at that time of cruelties practiced on the crews by the different captains, and how the men tried to desert and were captured. These stories all dated over the two winters that had been spent in the ice and before any whales were taken, There wintered with the two steam whalers at Herschel's island the schooner Nicoline. Captain Louis H.

Heren- rdeen, of the latter vessel, who is one of the oldest whalers known here, was the instigator of the whaling expedition to the mouth of the Mackenzie river, some 300 miles to the eastward of Point Barrow. No whaling vessel had ever penetrated that far before. Indeed such a voyage was equal to trying to find a northwest passage. Two weary winters were passed by the three crews. Up to the time the ice broke up last summer the expedition had been a failure.

Captain Herendeen became discouraged, and after cruising around awhile made a start to get out of the, Arctic ocean. The Grampus and Hume, however, worked io the eastward, were rewarded with sixteen and twelve immense whales, respectively. The Grampus returned and the Hume remained over another winter. Only the whalebone in the head of whale is taken, the blubber being thrown away, as tbe Hume is only eighty-eight tons net, and has no place to store the hundreds of barrels of oil that the whales she has taken would have made had they been tried out. San Francisco POWDERLY ON THE TARIFF TAX.

He Shows the Evils of the Protective System The Consumer Pays the Tax. There are hundreds of persons in this country laboriously engaged in a vain endeavor to convince ths American peo ple that the tariff is uot a tax, and, the most plausible argument they can bring to their aid is that the tariff, uot coming direct from the pockets of the people, is not so noticeable or 60 burdensome as though it were paid in cents, dimes and dollars directly from them. That sum paid on an article over and above the cost of production aud legitimate exchange is a tax. Some call it profit. But it stands as a fixed fact that the consumer is taxed to yield a' profit to the producer, or, more accurately speaking, the manufacturer.

A manufactured article, passing through a port entry, paying a duty of ten or twenty cents as a protection to the industries of the country it enters, must sell for ten or twenty cents more than if that tariff had not been levied. It matters not that the foreign maker must pay the extra ten or twenty cents to secure admittance for his wares, the consumer must also pay that, pr a greater sum, in addition to the price of the article which he biivs, Jt makes Blood Purifier GLOBE CHEMICAL CO. but little difference whether Mis called a duty, a tariff or a protection fee. tbe consumer is taxed to pay it, or we do not know what a tax is. It is not with the tariff or the principle of protection that we now take issue; it is with the principle of deception that is practiced on the people when they are told that this duty, tariff or protection fee, being indirectly paid, is not felt to be a hardship or so onerous as though it came direct from their own pockets.

In plain Anglo-Saxon it means that if the people can be taxed indirectly, or without being told that they are being taxed, they will not know it, or if they do know it they will not mind it, tho sum being bo insignificant. The advocacy of this principle presupposes ignorance and indifference on the part of the people. And right here is where the danger lies. Where the people pay taxes directly, knowing what they are paid for, they are careful enough tc follow the matter up "and ascertain to what nse the money is put. Each taxpayer in the municipality and county is certain to inquire into the why a wherefore of every increase in his tax He knows he is being taxed, and he sires-to know why.

He makes it business to know what is done with money. It is not so with the tariff indirect taxation, and the consequence that the same vigilance and caution not exercised by public officials in carir for the people's money. No more fruitful source of corruption ot dishonesty can be found than, that which lies concealed beneath the very plausible and. innocent looking scheme of taxing the people in an indirect and roundabout manner. Indirect taxation in all its forms should give way to the businesslike and honest method of collecting taxes -directly from the people.

Then they will be more apt to take a deeper interest in the question of taxation; they will know what they pay for, and will pay for what they get and no more. T. V. Powderly in Labor Day Issue of Journal of United Labor. HOW PROTECTION PROTECTS.

WhenKcKinley was explaining and defending in the house, in May, 1890, the tariff bill which bears his name and had recently been reported by his ways and means committee, he said, with reference to the paragraph of tbe bill repealing "the provision in the law permitting, the United States (government) to import for its use any articles free of duty:" "This provision of law has been eliminated in the proposed revision, and if approved by the house and senate and the president, the government, its officers, agents and contractors will hereafter have to pay the same 'duties which its citizens generally are required to In the same speech he said, with reference to a provision in the old law permitting travelers returning from abroad to import articles as "personal effects" free of duty: VThe practical effect of this provision was that the wealthy classes who were able to visit distant countries secured exemption from the payment of duties, while the average citizen, unable to go was compelled to pay a duty upon tho articles which he 'might want to use.

In those days McKinley, "fresh from a prolonged study of the tariff, believed and said that the tariff duties were paid by "citizens generally" or "the average citizen" that they were, as Senator Sherman said, "taxes upon the people." New York Times. About Differences in YTagres. Joseph D. Weeks, a well known protectionist writer and statistician, says in his paper, The American Manufacturer, "The lowest wages we know of paid puddlers in the United States today is $3.25, and the highest $5.50, the price paid at Pittsburg and in the entire west." Here is a difference of $3.25 a ton in different parts of the United States. Does not this explode tho Republican claim that if we had no tariff on foreign commodities wages here would sink to the European level? some people who are not harassed by the "daily bread" problem seem to delight in researches which have no other i-ffect than to settle a point which was never disputed.

Sir Archibald Geikie, of the British association, after much careful thought and patient investigation, together with a deal of figuring, has come to the conclusion that tho world is between and years old. Rather ft Wide margin, it would seem, WEIRD SCENES IN A CEMETERY. A Lighted Candle on Every Grave An Old Custom Revived. Baltimore, Nov. two days and nights past the cemetery of the Most Holy Redeemer has been the scene of a most, unique illumination.

Tbe cemetery is used by the big congregations of St. Michael's and St. James' Catholic churches, who have celebrated All Souls' day by decorating the graves and placing on each one of them a lighted candle. During the night the pale glow of the candles has given the graveyard a veird and rather uncanny appearance. During the day the cemetery has been the mecca of constant pilgrimages by those who have relatives and friends buried there.

Many brought lunches with them and spent all day with the dead. The celebration is a revival of the old custom that prevailed in European citie? of praying for the liberation of souls from purgatory. Mow It Connects Telephones. Chicago. Nov.

He is only twelve years old, but li has already established a record.

In no less than -six of the public schools has Bobbie been placed. Each time the re suit was the same he either made the school sessions so. exciting that he had be taken away or else he ran away of hL-own accord so often that no one could keep track.of him. I Bobbie's father is Frank Blake, of 45S West Thirty-first street, New York city, a hardworking, industrious man. The other day Bobbie's father brought him into Jefferson Market police court.

"It's no use," he said to the justicer "I can't do anything with him. He leaves home in the morning after breakfast and he don't come back for days. He is almost starved sometimes too." Justice Ryan committed Bobbie to the Catholic protectory. A Curious Rite. The ceremonies attending the inaugura tion of new railroads are scarcely similar in the east to those which prevail in Amer: ica.

At the opening of the Jaffa-Jerusalem railway a curious Moslem rite was ob served. Three sheep were slaughtered and their blood besprinkled on the rails before the first train was allowed to proceed upon its journey. This superstitious ceremony had for its object the scaring away of evil genii, who would otherwise.haw exerted a baneful influence upon passengers using the line. More of McKinley's Bad Goods. The admission of the New York Tribune tbat the quality of many kinds of goods has deteriorated under the Mc-Kinley law is confirmed by the New York Cloak Journal, which says in its' September number: Cloak buyers are complaining about the inferior quality of the materials that manufacturers are using this season.

So general has the disease become that the retail men claim to be absolutely helpless, and dread the time when they will be called upon to explain" to their customers why the general run of cloaks are made of such poor materials. From an artistlo standpoint tho productions of cloak manufacturers are all that is creditable; no one will find fault with tbe workmanship that has given such excellent results. But if a given amount of money could purchase a garment of better material a year ago than it can today there is still very good reason for dissatisfaction among cloak buyers. Manufacturers are willing to admit that poor materials are being used more generally than they should. Their explanation is that the woolen goods men, secure in the protection of a high tariff and certain of a large demand for their products, are abusing their strength, and that they see no way to prevent it..
