I want to say right now that generally we have received fair treatment from the newspapers in this fiela." Delegate David Fowler corroborated what Dempsey had said. He told of Dempsey and himself addressing a joint meeting of I.

W. W. and Union men at Old Forge when an effort was made to drag the speakers from the platform, but they remained to win back 500 of the deserters into the union fold. With their leader and Fowler, who has been looked upon as a power in the insurgent faction, marking it evident that the reports of German influence were facte, the miners hastened to unanimously adopt a resolution tabling the motion for executive session. For Union Sliop The resolution committee reported the resolution that the officers of the three anthracite districts ask the operators to grant the union shop and this was adopted.

Some of the dele gates objected because the "check oft" was not mentioned in the resolution. However, it would be difficult to get the one without including the other by necessity. The check off is the system of having the employer collect the union dues from the em ployes' play. District officers said this morning that they would at once call the attention of the officers of Districts 7 and 9 to the action, as well as that of President White, who will ask for a conference with the operators, pro bably next NEW YORK MARKET.

Catherine the Great exercised ber right of bequeathing the scepter to whom she thought fit. She appointed her grandson, Alexander, instead of his father, her only sou, Taul. Paul, however, destroyed the document before it could be put into execution. Earlier still Peter the Great left the scepter to Empress Catherine a woman of peasant birth, who bad been a chambermaid at an inn. His grandchild, tbe sole offspring of bis murder.

ed son and rightful heir, was thus dis Inherited. Many other instances have been cited of depriving legitimate heirs i of their rights. Sometimes it was malice, expediency in otber cases and very often prejudice. Czar Paul, for instance, was on tbe eve of sending bis two eldest sons to Siberia to favor bis third son, Nicholas. Paul was assassinated by tbe authority of tbe two sons before be could carry out bis plun.

and thus one of the most terrible chapters was added to Russian imperial history. Pearson's Weekly, VI IK A BANG FROM HODGE. nearly died laughing last night."

SINKS RAPIDLY. a oanK account wncn bum ItLJk mm a 1 XWo II What Ar You Worth? Have you any idea? Did yon ever capitalize yonr wages and figure It out? This is the way to ascertain how much yonr labor is really worth. For instance, a man' who has saved $20,000 and invested it at 5 per cent receives an annual income of $1,000 a year, or about a week. Tbe clerk in tbe office or the workman in the factory who gets $20 a treek therefore receives tbe income at 5 per cent on an investment of $20,000. Ue is a $20,000 man that is, be Is getting as much week by week as the man with $20,000 who depends solely upon the income from bis investments and who docs not work for a living.

The niaii who earns $40 a week has about the same income as the investor with put out at interest at 5 per cent. So iabor is capital. It bas a market value. It can be called a commodity because it can be sold by its owner tbo same as any other iiossession be may have. John A.
