to Report—Notes From the
Blue-coated Campers Along the
Monongaliela.
The crisis in the struggle between the
locked-out men at Homestead and the
Carnegie Steel Company seems to bent
hand. The latter posted notices Satur
day at its idle mills, calling upon its old
men to make application for employment
either by letter or in person, until 0 p
m., Thursday next, July 21. This must
be done individually as the company
still sticks to its determination to have
nothing to do with the Amalgamated
Association. The notice states the
company desires to take back all those
who took no part against the Pinker-tons
and closes by stating that non-com
pliance will be followed by the introduc
tion of non-union men.
While botli sides present bold fronts
the thing most feared by the leaders,
although they refuse to acknowledge it,
is that the men may be approached in
divldually. If the men are thustempted,
the prevailing opinion is that many will
fall. The agents of the company now in
Homestead assert that over 2,000 men
will report for work to-day, while, on
the other hand, the strikers insist that
not a man in their town will respond to
the company’s call for men, although
they are considerably exercised over a
telegram from Philadelphia announcing
the expected arrival of a Red Star steam-er
with a large number of Belgian iron
workers whose intentions are to apply
for positions at the idle works.
Because of the company’s refusal to
confer with the Amalgamated Associa-tion
at Homestead the union men work-ing
in the Upper and Lower Union and
Beaver Fall mills have struck out of
sympathy and as a result all three plants
are idle as are in all about half of the
13,000 Carnegie men, while efforts are
being made to have the 5,000 men at
Braddock and Uuquesue works join the
strikers, but so far without success. The
company's oliiclals do not seem disturbed
at this new move, although they say the
men will likely find it harder to get back
than it was to leave.
The company’s ultimatum, given
above, has undoubtedly had weight with
the strikers, but whether it will cause
them to forsake their organization and
sue for peace on the terms offered re
mains to be seen.
mation for women and children to keep
in doors failed of its purpose and petti-coats
fluttered in the wind, the wearers
keeping pace With the throng hurrying
in the direction indicated by the sound
of martial music. But the women were
quiet. No expressions of anger such as
had fallen from their lips during the
weary days of uncertainty were heard-
The fascination of brass buttons stilled
their tongues.
Up the big hill, overlooking the town
and adjacent to the Carnegie plant, the
wearied, tired militiamen toiled in the
broiling sun to the places assigned them.
Regiment after regiment marched into
the borough, with bands playing and
Hags flying. But there waB no cheering.
Lines of pickets guarded the approaches
to the mills. A provost guard took pos-session
of the borough itself. The pick-ets
of the workingmen had disappeared
and recognized law and order reigned.
At no time while the troops were as-sembling
was there any attempt at re-sentment
on the part of the workingmen.
Some of them objected to being stopped
by guards on the load leading to the
Carnegie works. It was the county
road, they said, and no d soldiers
ould block it. Their friends drew them
away and adlsturbance was averted.
The camp of the guard is on a plateau
at the top of a high hill, directly south
of the Carnegie mill property and the
city farm, and overlooks not only the
Carnegie plant but the borough of Home-stead
and many miles of surrounding
country. The camp is about 300 yards
distant from the celebrated higti fence
which encloses the mills and the city
farm. The troops suffered considerably
from the heat as they marched from the
railroad station up the steep hill to their
camp. When the different regiments
had taken their positions, the men
threw themselves upon ttie ground, and
stretching their rubber blankets from
the bayonets of four muskets, formed a
sceen from tiie rays of the sun. The
camp ground is a meadow from which
the grass was not cut,and it made a very
comfurtabte resting place for the men,
most of whom were tired out after their
all-night’s experience in the cars. It
took several hours to unload the men
and move them to their stations on the
bill. A committee representing citizens
of Homestead and the Amalgamated As
sociation had gone out the night before
to meet the troops and apprise them of
the program arranged for their recep
lion which included brass bauds and the
formal freedom of the town. General
Snowden, however, did not approve of
any such parade and the project was
abandoned.
That is all there is of it. I am not going
to have any reception or any ceremonies
of any sort. The mill property is al-ready
in the hands of the Carnegie com-pany.
I understand Mr. Childs is now
in the works. But with all that we now
have nothing to do. We are here to
support the Bheriff in the execution of
his duties, and the presence of the troops
was enough to settle the whole question.
We will be here for several days, and
will take advantage of the occasion to
have the annual inspection.”

(tonal Guard In lta Capture of
Homestead*
The capture of Homestead by the Na
tional Guard ofPennsylvania was indeed
a peaceful conquest. Monday evening
last saw the First brigade, some 2,500
men, in camp at Mt. Gretna and the dif-ferent
regiments of theSecond and Third
hastening to Giapeville, that being their
real point of rendezvous instead of Brin
ton, as announced in the Governor’s
orders. Four companies of the Tenth
C, D, E and I, lay at Greensburg until
midnight when they were taken to
Grapeville and placed at the right of the
long line of trains which began to move
westward with their almost 0,000 armed
passengers, shortly after daybreak Tues-day,
under command of Major GenW»l mcii,” was-Uic,General’s reply
Snowden. The Fourth, Tenth and
Fourteenth regiments, under command
of Colonel Hawkins, with a battery, pro-ceeded
to Hawkin’s'station where they
left the cars and marched to brow of the
hill on the north side of the river, on
which a position commanding the town
just opposite was taken as the main body
of troops, having been taken from Brin-ton
across the river by the Pittsburg,
Virginia and Charleston road, quickly
disembarked at Miinhall station, which
is close to the steel mills, and moved to
the hill south.
Between 9 and 10 o’clock a boy rushed
down the main street in Homestead to-ward
the railroad station and shouted to
the people that the soldiers had arrived.
Men rushed from their places of busi-ness
toward the hills near the Carnegie
works. Women and children flew to
-doorways and looked with frightened
glances up and down the streets. The

Matder of III. Situation.
Shortly after noon, when General
Snowden had established his headquar
ters ;in the Carnegie school house on
Shanty Hill, he was called upon by an-other
committee representing the citi-zens
of Homestead and the Amalgama-ted
Association whose object, Captain
Kuhn, an ex-militia officer, acting as
spokesman, said was to assure the state
authority of their desire to co-operate
with it in maintaining order.
General Snowden curtly interrupted
Captain Kuhn to say that he did not
recognize the Amalgamated Association
or any other authority except that of the
Governor of Pennsylvania aud the Sher
iff of Allegheny county. The people of
Homestead, he said, could best co-oper-ate
with the state troops by behaving
themselves. Captain Kuhn wont on to
tender all assistance in the power of the
citizens and the Amalgamated Associa-tion,
but the General again cut him
short with the remark that he could not
accept any such tenders.
Hugh O’Donnell, the leader of the
locked-out steel workers, stepped for
waid at this point and said that in the
name of the people of Homestead and
the Amalgamated Association, the del
egation wished to submit to the legal au
thority of the state after having refused
to submit to the illegal authority
(meaning the Pinkertons.)
The gentleman behind you is the one
to whom you should submit,” said Gen-erul
Snowden, indicating Sheriff Mc-
Cleary.
‘‘We always have submitted to bis au-thority,”
said Mr. O’Donnell.
‘‘I beg your pardon.” said the General,
“but you did not at the mill.”
“I leave it to the Sheriff if we have
not submitted,” said Mr. O’Donnell.
“No, you did not,” was Sheriil Me
Cleary’s reply. “You did not allow my
deputies to take charge of the works.”
This rather nonplussed the delegation,
and for a minute there was silence.
Then Mr. O’Donnell went on to say that
the tenders of co-operation grew out of
a mass meeting of workingmen and citi-zens
of Homestead and were made in
their name, and not in that of the Amal-gamated
Association. General Snowden
said he recognized no citizens but those
of Allegheny county.
“Then, as citizens of Allegheny coun-ty,”
Baid Mr. O’Donnell, “we come here
to see you,”
“Then I’m glad to see you, gentle-
I am
glad that our position here is welcomed
by the citizens of Allegheny county.”
This gave Mr. O’Donnell his oppor-tunity
to say thatthemenof the town
wished to form in a body with four brass
bands and pass in review before the
troops, but General Snowden refused to
consider the proposition. He did not
want a reception, he said. He was there
to carry out the command of the state of
Pennsylvania, and not to have any for-mality.
"If I were in my personal ca-pacity,"
he said, “it would be very flat-tering,
but I am not.”
This concluded the interview, and
after some moments of embarrassed si-lence,
the delegation withdrew in any-thing
hut a good humor.
Geueral Snowden said, after the com-mittee
had left, that there was to be no
such thing as taking formal possession of
the works or the town. “As soon as we
came into the town we were in possess-ion
and law and order are restored,
The CoiiRrfHBlonnl Investigating Commit
tee Oiniclally Interviews Mr. Frick
at Considerable Length.
The Congressional Committee, appoin-ted
to investigate the trouble at Home-stead,
arrived in Pittsburg Monday
morning at 10 o’clock. The committee
consisted of Messrs. AV.C. Oates, of Ala-bama;
W. D. Bynum,of Indiana; C. J.
Boatner, of Louisnna; Judge E. B. Tay-lor,
of Ohio,and Case Broderick, of Kan-sas.
The members visited Homestead
the next day and, with representatives
of botli the company and men, went
through the mill aud viewed with inter-est
the scenes of the battle with the
Pinkertons, returning at 7 :30 to the Mo-nougahela
house. The first witness
ailed and sworn was II. C. Frick,chair
man of the Carnegie Steel Company
Besides the members of the committee
and the witness there were present:
Otis H. Childs, assistant to Mr. Frick;
J. A. Potter, general superintendent to
the Homestead steel works, and Messrs.
Knox A Reed, counsel for the concern
The workingmen were represented by
Win. Weihe, president of the Amalga
mated Association; M. M. Garland, pres-ident
elect of the association; Wm. Rob
erts, ex-vice-president of the association
and David Lynch, a very prominent
member. Chief of the Pittsburg Fire
Bureau Miles S. Humphreys, au ex-iron
worker,was also seated near the men.
John S. Scully, cashier of the Diamond
National Bank; James Mills, editor of
the Post; James Atwell, an all-around
Democratic politician, and James Cooke,
Esq., were the only other visitors.
In explaining the late reorganization of
his company whose capital stock of $25,-
000,000, Mr. Frick said : “It is not a com-pany,
sir; it is an association, a limited
partnership incorporated under thelimit-ed
partnership laws of thestateof Penn-sylvania.
It consists of Andrew Carne-gie,
Henry Phipps, Jr., George Lauder,
H. M. Curry, W. L. Abbott, John G. A.
Leishman, F. T. F. Lovejoy, Otis
Childs and a number of others who have
small interests whom I can’t name, and
myself.”
The plants owned by this association
are: The Edgar Thomson furnaces, and
the Edgar Thomson steel workB at Bes-semer;
the Duquesne steel works on the
same side of the river as the Homestead
works; the Homestead steel works; the
Lucy furnaces, Pittsburg; the Keystone
bridge works, Pittsburg; the Upper Un
ion mills aud the Lower Union mills,
Pittsburg; the Beaver Falls mills at
Beaver Falls, Pa.; the Scotia ore mines
in Center county, Pa.; the Latimer coke
works in Westmoreland county and the
Youghiogheny coke workB on the Pitts-burg,
McKeesport & Youghiogheny rail
road in the state of Pennsylvania. The
men employed at these works aggregate
13,000.
Mr. Frick then gave a detailed state-ment
of wages paid at the HomeBtend
mills dining May last when he showed
the rollers earned as high as $278 50, the
lowest being those paid common labor-ers,
$1 50 per pay. The entire payroll
for 110 inch plate mill for that month
was $20,202 95. Mr. Frick followed this
by explanation of the scale which was
signed on July 1, 1889, based on billets at
$26.50 a ton, and which expired on the
first ol this month when the lock-out
began by the failure to agree upon a new
’scale which the company wanted based
on billets at $23 a ton and changed so as
to expire on January 1.
The public statement as made by Mr,
Frick last week and of which the sub-stance
was given in these columns was
submitted as evidence and was followed
by an explanation in regard to the Pink
ertons of whom, Mr. Frick said, he had
hired 300 from Robert A. Pinkerton, of
New York, with whom he made the
necessary arrangements in a letter writ
ten on June 25. Sheriff McCleary knew
of the men and the understanding was
that the guards should be sworn in ns
deputy sheriffs on reaching the Home
stead mills. Deputy Sheriff Gray ac
companied the guards, who were each to
receive $5 per day, but he withdrew
early in the battle on the tugboat Little
Bill. Mr. Frick also produced copies
letters from his company’s counsel
Knox & Reed, and of bis own sent Gen
eral Superintendent Potter at Homestead
before the outbreak,both of which urged
him to guard against having any of the
guardB commit an act of aggression. The
only question Mr. Frick refused to ans-wer
was that relating to the cost of a ton
of billets upon which it was proposed to
baBe the new scale that would have
with the improved machinery, permitted
of the men making more money than
before.
Mr. Frick, whose examination was
continued Wednesday morning, thought
that he bad impressed upon the Pink
ertons the need they would have for
arms on reaching Homestead. The arms
were furnished by the Union Supply
Company and shipped to Captain Rogers
of the tugboat Little Bill, who told of
his perilous trip on being called to the
stand. He said his boat was fired
from the shore about halt an hour before
the attempted landing at the steel works
was made. He added also that the
Pinkertons knew where they were going
and had a chance to leave the boat nt
Lock No. 1, when four did disembark.
Sheriff W. H. McCleary, the next
witness called, said he was opposed
the introduction of Pinkertons when
the subject was laid before him by At-torney
Reed, but he finally consented to
deputize them if they were attacked
when placed in the mill as guards. He
told how hia deputies were driven away
from Homestead on July 8, the next
day after the property had been turned
over to him for protectioe; how lie sum-moned
-100 people to act as a posse, of
whom only 29 responded, and with this
force he deemed it unwise to go to the
scene of tliej trouble and as a last resort
called upon the Governor for aid. He
said Deputy Grey, who accompanied the
Pinkertons, was sent for the sole pur-pose
of calling the guards off in case of
trouble arrising. At President Weihe’s
request he went up to Homestead on the
evening of July 6, and took away the
captured Pinkertons. Deputy Sheriff
Cluley testified to having gone to Home-stead
with 11 men on July 5, and was
told by the strikers no deputy could en-ter
the mill alive. Mr. Cluley promptly
withdrew his force.
unusually large run having been made
during that month. He made a strong
impression as lie gave tables to prove
what he said had been the case. After
a secret conference with other Pittsburg
manufacturers the committee left for
Washington where its report will belaid
before Congress this week. No one
questions the fairness of the investiga-tion
and the labor officials are especially
pleased, claiming the result will be leg
isiation looking to the compulsory arid -
tration of similar troubles and forbiding
the introduction of any armed force like
the Pinkertons.

A VICTIM OF TYPHUS.

NO HOLIDAY BUSINESS.
I
The Evidence as Submitted by the head-ers
of like Locked-out Steel
Workers.
President William Weihe, ofthe Amal-gamated
Association, was sworn and was
questioned by Judge Oates. He said that
a sliding scale for the Homestead mill
was adopted in 1889, and was based on
the 4x4 steel billets, as they were tiie
most staple article in the market. Mr.
Weihe said that the compromise of 1885,
by which the men adopted the firm’s
proposal of $25, affected most of the men
in tiie mill. Mr. Weihe explained how
the wages were agreed upon under the
sliding scale. For six months tiie sell
ing price at the time of signing prevailed
and at the end of that time the average
price for the six months prevailed for
the next three months.
Mr. Weihe was asked by several mem-bers
to give his opinion concerning tiie
creation of a compulsory court of arbitra
tion, hut lie was non-committal. He
thought if the entrance into arbitration
were voluntary that the results might
be satisfactory, but compulsion all the
way through he did not favor, because
he had been trained in the courts of the
Amalgamated, which desired to secure
friendly relations between employer and
employe. Mr. Weihe stated the mem-bership
of the association at 25,000. Be
ing asked about the Homestead situa-tion,
Mr. Weihe confessed his ignorance
of the situation there and said that scale
matters were originally left with the
workmen in each mill.
The President was asked by Judge
Taylor what was tiie view of the men
who interfered to prevent the operation
of a mill from which they were locked
out; why the workmen thought they
had a right to take possession of the
mill. To this President Weihe was un-able
to answer, except that the Amalga-mated
Association did not teach any
such right, and was throughout a con-servative
association.
Hugh O'Donnell, leader of the strik-ers,
was then called and examined
briefly. He passed a clear examination,
although warned by Judge Oates that he
need not criminate himself. He told
the story of the lock-out, the organiza-tion
of the advisory committee and tiie
repulse of the Pinkerton men on the
morning of July 6. Mr. O’Donnell re-fused
to say that the brutal assaults on
the guards, after they had surrendered,
were made by outsiders. He thought
some were made by women and men
who were related to the wounded men
in Homestead. Mr. O’Donnell said his
wages as a heater in the i 19 inch plate
mill were about $144 a month, and that
the proposed scale, if the price of billets
should go down to the minimum, $22,
would reduce his pay 12 per cent. Mr.
G’Donnell declined to answer only one
question, and that was in relation to ef-forts
made to burn the barges by pour-ing
oil on the water.
BurgeBS McLuckie, who is also a steel
worker, explained the sliding scale. He
said there was a gigantic conspiracy to
deprive the workingmen of their rights
under the Constitution. He gave his
views on the tariff question, and said he
believed the McKinley bill had reduced
the men’s wages and that the less the
tariff the higher the wages. lie added
that he believed the Southern Pacific
railway and the Carnegies, with II. C.
Frick at the head,were in the conspiracy.
William Roberts, employed in the ar-mdr
plate mill, also explained tiie slid-ing
scale aud detailed the various confer
euces between the men and the com
pany. He expressed himself as in favor
of a compulsory arbitration and said he
believed that was the only solution of
the labor question. He discussed the
labor question intelligently, and one of
the committee remarked he was the most
satisfactory witness heard.
Ex Sheriff Gray told of his visit to
Homestead with Sheriff McCleary and
manner in which they were treated. He
said he went on the barges as represen-tative
ofthe sheriff. He did not see any
arms until Homestead was reached. The
first shots were fired at the boats, one
ball going through the pilot house, one
hit the whistle and several struck in
various points. There was no shot fired
from the boats till after the landing was
attempted. His testimony was corobo-rative
of Captain Rogers.
General Superintendent Potter, Oscar
Coltlesh.a roller, and Captain John Ken-nedy,
watchman on the barges that were
burned, and Charles Mansfield, another
of the idle men, were the witnesses call-ed
at Thursday’s closing session of the
investigation, but their evidence threw
no new light on the subject. Mr. Frick
was also recalled and said the McKinlev
tariff had nothing to do with the reduc-duction
which was brought about by
overproduction. The mortgages the
company holds on the houses of Us em-ployes
was to aid them in the erection of
homes. The company charges the men
6 per cent, and allows them to pay off
the debt by the month, having never
foreclosed a mortgage of this kind. Mr.
Frick said his company holds Homestead
mortgages amounting to $42,000, while
it has on deposit from them $140,000, on
which the company pay 6 per cent. Mr.
Frick said to renew the old scale would
lead his company into bankrapey.
George F. Rylands, among the last
witnesses called, said Mr. Frick’s state-ment
was misleading as to the
paid as it was based on May work,

CAMP SAMUEL BLACK, JULY, 10.
When the Tenth, Fourth and Four-teenth
regiments, with a battery, were
hurried up here on the hill overlooking
Homestead from the north side of the
river, Tuesday morning, to cover the
capture of the town, the train with the
Tenth’s tents must have been sidetracked
somewhere; for, nothing was seen of
them until yesterday. Col. Hawkins,
who is in command of this so called pro-visional
brigade, threatened to join the
strikers if the canvas did’nt put in
prompt appearance. “Old Alex.” had
his headquarters in a neighboring car-riage
shed and its no wonder he got
tired sleeping on the soft sideof a wheel
barrow, aggravated still more by a
severe attack of dyspepsia produced by
over indulgance in the ricli dishes Chap-lain
Hunter prepared the first day in
camp. But readers of THE JOURNAL
would- doubtless prefer to hear some-thing
of their own Company E.
Captain Loar and Lieutenants Berry-hill
and Harkins have been given their
respective share of honor in the distri-bution
of camp duties and as for the
hoys they are all right side up with care
despite sun, wind and rain for three days
and nights without tents. But the experi-ence
was worth all it cost in way of dis-comfort.
Company E lay the first night on the
brow of tiie steep hill and the to68iDg
sleeper was in no little danger of sliding
down into the river. Jake bundle had
to be lashed to a tree to keep him
from rolling away.
Camp opened this morning although
guard duty has been done all along.
Nine of E’s boys have been detailed as
guards on the famous tugboat, the Little
Bill.
Private James Cox is an orderly at
headquarters.
Corporal Hatfield has been detailed to
the hospital department.
Sergeant Coldsmith, tiie boss commis-sary
of the Tenth, and Cook Frank
Brown, see that the tables lack nothing.
Jack Hurst is the company’s only duty
sergeant as Sergeant Randolph was call-ed
home by the illness of his child and
Sergeants BnrnB, Thompson and Cold-smith
are otherwise engaged.
The boys are kicking because E is out
her position at the right.
The regiments take turns doing pro-vost
duty in the town and the Tenth
expects to catch it tomorrow or Monday.
AROUND ANDABOUT.
It was that of a Poor Pole Who De-serted
by His Brother, Dies in a
Parfittown Stable.—But Little
Danger of an Epidemic.
Last Saturday week Dr. \V. S. Plotner,
the East Main street physician, was call
to Parfittown, Mt. Pleasant’s southwes-tern
suburb, to see a sick Pole named
John Orris who was found to be suffer-ing
from a severe attack of that much
dreaded disease, typhus fever. Orris had
landed in New York hut three days be-fore.
He was ill at that time and for
eight days of tiie voyage, although by
some means escaped quarantine and
came here the next day and met his
brother who works out at Central, tut
the latter’s brotherly love was such that
he lett John as soon as he found lie was
helpless and the poor stranger’s deatli
must have come sooner had not Thomas
Kissels, a well-to-do fellow countryman,
who lives in Parfittown with his wife
and large family, taken him in and sum-moned
a doctor.
As soon as Dr. Plotner discovered tiie
nature ot tiie disease lie had the patient
removed to the stable and the house
thoroughly disinfected. The new quar-ters
were soon made clean and comfort-able
and everything possible was done
to stay the fever’s course, but nothing
availed and tiie man died Wednesday
and was buried at the expense of tiie
county.
Cases of this fever are rare in this
country owing to the strict sanitary meas-ures
taken to prevent its outbreak. It
occurs frequently, however, on board
emigrant steamers where pussengers are
too often huddled together and for this
reason Is called ship fever. Years ago
it was confounded with typhoid although
there is a marked difference between tiie
two diseases. The period of incubation
in typhus is from eight to twelve days,
while its course runs only about two
weeks. The patient’s temperature is
higher than in typhoid and dark spots
appear on tiie body. It is more dreaded
than typhoid and yet sufferers from it
are, witli careful nursing, in little, if any,
greater danger than if afflicted with ty-phoid.
Orris’sickness and doath caused consid-erable
uneasiness to be felt by people in
tiie neighborhood, but physicians say
there is little danger as it was a sporadic
case and one in whicli every precaution
was taken by Dr. Plotner.

A Live Citizen Makes a Few Timely
SuggestionlRegardings the Ne
oessity of Prompt Action Eight
Now.
ED. JOURNAL.—If Mt. Pleasant is to
have a Columbian celebration in October
next, in honor of the 400th anniversary
of the discovery of America, now’s the
time for not only our own people but
those of the surrounding country to say
so. We must all step up and put our
shoulder to the wheel, loose the purse
strings a trifle and give the project a
boost or, as I understood a well-mean-ing
member of AVednesday evening’s
meeting said: “j would’nt give a d—n
for the whole thing.”
Now, as I take it, the talked-of affair
is to lie a free-for-all pitch in for a jolly
good time to last for three or tour days—
one day for the public school children,
another for the farmers, another for the
coke workers and soon with riding tour-naments,
foot races of all kinds, dancing,
plenty of music and, in fact, everything
that would iiave a teudoncy to draw and
amuse a big crowd of people. It is pro-posed
to hold the celebration in some
large field about town and have the
merchants display their goods in booths
beneath large canvas tents and run the
big show until a reasonable hour at night
by means of the electric light which will
then be available.
AVill it go? AVhy! I can now shut my
eyes and see it in full and lively blast
with a few fountains, for cooling and
artistic effect, thrown in through the
kindness of tiie Mt. Tleasant Water Co.
Mt. Pleasant has never failed In anything
she has undertaken and the success of
this is assured just as soon as our people
have determined to make it so, and I
believe they will be at Thursday even-ing’s
meeting to Btart the ball rolling.
Will the farmers fall lr.to line? Cer-talnly
they will. Whoever heard ofthe
Foxes, Hursts, Stoners, Ruffs, Campbells,
Barnharts, Evans’s, Rumbaughs, An-drews,
Byers’s, Millers, Myors’s, Cham-bers’s,
Gongawares, Trouts or a score of
others of our solid old farmer friends,
whose names 1 might mention, hacking
away from a job of this kind? No, no;
my fellow citizan, the farmer Is all
right and can be depended upon; only
we must lead off well.
I think I’m right In stating that it is
the intention to make the celebration
free from any monoy-making schemes,
allowing those who (derive the benefit in
the way of advertisment and who iurnish
the refreshments to pay all the bills.
This being the case, I believe it is the
duty of every citizen to be present at the
Grand Opera House Thursday evening
next,when definite plansof arrangement
will bo discussed and adopted.

JOE. E. GIBBS’ FUNERAL,
A Large Concourse of People Gallier to
Pay Last Tributes of Respect.
The iuneral of Joe. Gibbs, whose sud-den
deatli at Levansville was noted last
week, took place, Wednesday afternoon,
from the West Main street residence of
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Gibbs.
The attendance was so large that many
were compelled to remain upon the
porches and pavement during the Im-pressive
services in which Revs. Sher-rick,
Ferner and Byrues and the United
Brethren choir took part. The deceased
was president ot the Oak Hall Club and
Odd Fellow and Royal Arcanum lodges,
all three of which sent beautiful floral
offerings and turned out as organizations
to pay the last tribute of respect to their
departed brother. A heavy rain storm
interfered somewhat witli the exercises
at the cemetery.
From a Levansville letter it is learned
that Joe got there that Sunday evening
very shortly after dark, having left Mt.
Pleasant in a buggy about 1 o’clock. Ho
stopped at the Hotel, with whose proprie-tor,
AVilliam Teyman, and his family ho
was well acquainted and with whom lie
talked until about 11 o’clock when he re-tired,
seemingly benefited, if anything,
by tiie long drive. Shortly after going
to his room lie suflered in perfect sllenco
a hemorrhage, allowing his life’s blood
to run into the slopjar. Then he rapped
until a young Mr. Teyman came, turned
and, without saying a word, throw him-self
on the bed. Poor Joe was dead.
Reports from the rural districts are
that the crop of grasshoppers is uuusual-large
and destructive. Farmer Jacob
Myers, who lives near Central, says he
had to puteereous ou his bedroom win-dows
to keep the pests from jumping in
at night aud biting him.
’Squire Jesse Knox, ol'Gibbon’s Glade,
was held up iu the mouutaius, Friday
eyeuiug, by three uieu who took $341
which he had drawn from a Uniontown
bank aud placed iu liis shoe. The victim
says ho knows the highwaymen well and
will have them arrested.

directors. Mr. Pershing is president
and his daughter, Miss Minnie, secretary
G. W. Weimor, of the East ICBd, lias
just returned from his Donegal township
farm where he had been helping off with
the harvest. He reports a fine wheat
crop in that section, but the hay is about

A Frightful Dralll.
A. AV. Bacon, who lived on the old
Loblugier place in Mt. Pleasant town-ship,

evening. He had boen in attendance at

THE LAW FIRST OF ALL,
That the Homestead labor troubles
had grown until they demanded the
presence of the National Guard to re-es-tablish
law is, indeed, to be most deplor-ed;
but, there was no other course left for
Governor Pattison to pursue. If the
Carnegie Steel Company is to be censur-ed
for the introduction of the Pinker-tons
as Its first move looking to a break
of the lock-out, certainly no lesa blame
attaches to the men’s Advisory Commit-tee
because of its dissolution on the eve
of the fatal encounter.
That the locked-out men did wrong in
their armed resistance to the were to be
deputy sheriffs cannot be denied; for,
the Pinkertons, hated and odious though
are, had the legal right to land on
ground belonging to their employers,
and, when defeated and captured, should
have been treated as human beings in-stead
being beaten and kicked in the
most cowardly and brutal manner.
The success of the victors seems to
have intoxicated them;for, we see them,
as self constituted officers of the law, run
mug the borough of Homestead to suit
themselves, holding up peaceful strang-ers
on the streets and expelling them at
their own sweet will, while they were
virtually in possession of the idle steel
works. Yet they claim they were not
rioters, which is true, as their actions
had passed the riotous point and stamp
ed them armed insurgents who openly
defied tiie laws of state and nation.
It is well said that the greatest glory
of the American people is the fact that
they know how to govern themselves.
The laws to maintain the peace, to pro-tect
every individual, however humble,
in his just rights, and to assure to every
man the unmolested posession of his pro-perty,
are made by the people themselves
through their delegates and representa-tives
in the slate Legislature and the
federal Congress. To the laws thus en-acted
the people as a whole yield cheer-ful
obedience. It is admitted by every-body
that the person who willfully vio-lates
a law framed for the welfare of the
public is an offender against the whole
body of people; for upon the supremacy
of the law and order the entire struct-ure
of civilization depends. This same
thing is true when a community instead
of an individual breaks the law. The
only difference is that the lawlessness of
five thousand men is far more dangerous
to public security than the lawlessness of
one man.
No one needs the protection of the law
so much as the wage earner. When the
statutes which place him on an exact
equality with the millionaire are shaken
or overthrown his one sure means of
self defease is destroyed. For working
men themselves to rebel against the laws
is for them to break down the impreg-nable
fortress of their own liberties. If
the workingman and capitalists can defy
the law with impunity the same privi-lege
must be granted to the professional
politician, to the ambitious military
commander. If the strength of numbers
and the possession of arms are to consti-tute
a valid excuse for the violation of
law the weak must go to the wall, and
the result will he anarchy, followed by
despotism.
The merits of the dispute between the
Homestead workers and their employers
were not now the questions at issue
when Governor Fattison ordered out the
troops. The point to lie decided was
whether a body of men with arms in
their hands were to be allowed to revolt
against the statutes of their state and of
the nation and to seize and hold by force
property which does not belong to them.
The whole country is sincerely anxious
to see some method of arbitration adopt-ed
which wil! mete out the fullest jus
tice to the workingmen concerned. But
the thing of first and supreme Import-ance
was the re establishment of law in
Homestead and the restoration in .that
community of those rights of property
which constitute the safe-guard of the
workingman’s home. These rights of
person and property have been restored
by the presence of the militia. Let us
hope the difference between employer
and employe can be affected in the same
peaceful manner.
bands with ills fellows for eo-operatlon
and mutual aid in the defense and ad-vancement
of their common interests Is
within hia legal rights. The capitalist
who deliberately sets to work to make
such combination Impossible may be
within his lawful rights, hut he is in-vading
tiie rights of others. He Is using
Ids wealtli for oppression of those whose
wealth Is their labor and skill, and if lie
provokes them to desperate acts he is not
without a partial moral responsibility for
the results.
An unhappy feature ot the trouble at
Homestead was tiie course pursued by
tiie corporation in the beginning of the
strike, or lockout, whichever it was call
ed. The company was dealing witli
men, a large number of whom had been
in their employment (or many years,
many of whom were fathers of families
and owners of property. Yet, upon the
difference arising between the company
and the men the former fortified its
premises, as If it had to deal with a band
of guerrillas, capable of the highest
crimes.
Tiie Homestead corporation did wrong
—although within Its legal rights—
when it summoned through a private de
tective agency a hold of mercenaries to
take charge of its establishment. Wheth-er
tiie strikers fired upon the invaders
first or whether the l’inkerton men fired
upon them Is of little consequence. The
company should have looked to the offi-cers
of the law to vindicate the majesty
of the law, and not have taken a step
calculated to provoke the people of
Homestead to desperation. From the
first the management of the works has,
so far as tiie public knows, manifested
no desire to avert a conflict which could
have no other result than to inflame the
tiie workingmen to desperate deeds.
The wrong on the part of the working-men
lias been their interference to pre-vent
the operation of the works. Under
the laws tiie company lias the right to do
as is pleases with its own property, and
no one lias any right to prevent it. Tiie
same law covers tho manufactory that
covers tiie home purchased by the work-ingman.
The managers of the Home-stead
works have the undoubted right un-der
the law to employ whom they please
at whatever rate of wages their employ-es
are willing to accept. The resistance
to tliis right by tiie armed strikers left to
the authorities ol Pennsylvania no alter-native
but the enforcement of the law.
But while the company is legally right
in its attitude, it has been wrong in its
methods. Nothing is more sure to un-dermine
respect for lnw than persistence
in a course which, though it may be
strictly legal, is yet opposed to the pub-lic
sense of justice and fairness.—New
York Press.
THE RIGHT AND WRONG OF IT.
To the fair and reasoning observer,
who believes that capital and labor
should he allies, not enemies, and that
wealth should not be used for oppression
any more than labor should resort to vio-lence,
it is apparent that there are two
sides to the causes of the Homestead
strike. Appearances Indicate that the
manager of the company owning the
Iron works at Homestead deliberately
prepared to strike a blow at organized
labor. Labor has the same right to or-ganise
as capital. The workingman who
THE HOMESTEAD TROUBLE.
How Olliers View It mid (lie Means
Taken to Restore Peace.
Patriotic Citizens Still.
Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph
The men nt Homestead must show that
whatever the grievances may he they arc
still patriotic citizens. It is gratifying
to know that tiie Advisory Committee
has already decided to eo operate with
the National Guard in maintaining peace.
The news from Homestead indicates a
peaceable submission to the power of the
Commonwealth.
NOTHING TO BE SCARED ABOUT.
The passage of an unlimited free coin-age
bill by tiie Senate need cause no
flurry of those who believe only In solid
financial measures. A Republican Sen-ate
passed the measure after it had been
quietly entombed in the Democratic
House, chiefly to embarrass their own
party candidate in a contest for re-elec-tion;
and the Republicans having thus
stolen the free silver thunder in the Sen-ate,
the Democrats of the House, who are
rather more lor free silver than the Re-publicans
of the Senate, logically con-clude
that they must try their hand and
pass the .Senate bill if possible;but there
is not a Senator or Representative In
Washington that does not know that if
they pass the measure the President will
veto it, and that it could not be passed
over his veto.
Tiie present flurry in values is there
fore, as an exchange say, utteily idiotic
as many such flurries are; but as long as
speculative interests largely control our
markets, it is to be expected that every
opportunity will be Beized upon by bulls
and bears to profit by every turn of po-litical
affairs. It is had enough to have
the silver craze In Washington, where,
fortunately for the country, it is entirely
harmless; hut the security holder who
sacrifices his values upon such a flimsy
flurry, Bimply proves that he has not
sense enough to take care of liis own
property. The free silver craze is un-doubtedly
one of tlic most formidable of
the many political eruptions which dis-turb
free government, but it so happens
that it is bound hand and toot by both
the great parties by their Presidential
nominations, and the business interests
of the country are absolutely safe from
all violent shocks or disturbances wheth-er

The Governor’s Wise Action.
Philadelphia Times.
The Governor has acted throughout
tills trouble with wise prudence. He lias
refused all hasty appeals to the military
force of the Commonwealth until satis-fied
that tbe civil power was exhausted
or hopelessly inefficient. He could not
have foeseen or averted the murderous
outbreak at Homestead and since then he
has firmly waited for tiie Sheriff to make
a serious attempt to exert ills authority.
A Slap at Pattl.oll.
Baltimore American.
The attempt to muzzle and to estab-lish
a censorship of the press was the
means of disclosing their utter disregard
for the right of others and finally forced
Governor Pattison to do from necessity
what he should have done from princi-ple.
By now Anally ordering out the
troopB, the conditions being unchanged,
he has practically admitted that he was
wrong in not taking this step in the first
instance.
The Law Must Re Vindicated*
Pittsburg Commercial Gazette
In the opinion of this community, tiie
calling out of the military does not mean
that tiie Carnegie-Friek company are in-dorsed
In their method of dealing with
tiie locked-out men. Public opinion de-manded
action by the Governor only be-cause
law was trampled upon and must
be vindicated. After property|ls restored
to Its rightful owners nnd tiie men cease
to be violaters and usurpers, then tiie
wage question Bltould be taken up and
settled in a spirit of fairness and justice.
No more violence on either side.
Hie Gallant Wearers of the Blue.
Pittsburg Times,
Governor Pattison has at length rec-ognized
tiie truth ol the situation and
ordered out the National Guard. They
come not to make war, but to enforce
peace. They are not,like tiie Pinkertons'
hired in tiie service of one side and
against tiie other. They .represent the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and tiie
sanctity of tiie law, without which no
man’s title to his home or his life is
worth a farthing If any stronger man
sees lit to demand tiie one or the other.
They maintain no rigiits for any citizen
tiint they do not guarantee to every other
citizen. They wear the uniform of the
State, the Union blue that is sacred in
the eyes of every loyal citizen; a uniform
that has given its color to a hundred bat-tlefields,
always on the side of freedom,
never on tiie side of oppression.
Tiie Laws Great Strength.
Pittsburg Press
Altogether the mill workers seem to be
getting the worst of It, as they generally
do in such cases. The law is stronger
than the strongest labor organizations,
and it is only a question of bringing for-ward
enough men to uphold its majesty.
When labor thinks it can defy the law it
makes a costly mistake.
Probably a step following the ordering
out of tiie National Guard will be the en-tering
of suits fot conspiracy against tiie
leaders in the belligerent movement at
Homestead. That is the usual course of
such affairs, and the Carnegie company
is likely to follow that course. Tiie
question whether such suits can be sus-tained
is for tiie courts to answer. In
the meantime, tiie National Guard Is
quite able to solve the problem of main-taining
tiie peace on last week’s battle
ground.
REMOVAL OF A DANGEROUS MAN.
Ravacltol, the French Anarchist, who
suffered the just punishment for his re-volting
crimes at Paris the other day,
remained to the end the hardened brute
he had always shown himself. To the
offer of the prison chaplain he retorted:
“I never had any religion,” and he might
as truthfully have added that he never
had any humanity either. Such men as
Ravachol, whether in France or the
United States, are the enemiesof human-ity
and the rope or guillotine seems to
offer the only suitable defense humanity
has against their destructive brutality.
Murder for plunder or revenge seems
to have been committed by this fiend in
human shape with less compunction than
an ordinary human being would have
exhibited in drowning a kitten and all
humanity will breatii freer at his well
merited taking oft. No life Is Bafe in a
community in which a Ravachol Is per-mitted
to keep his head of his shoulders.
IT IS said that Mr. Morton feels hurt
at the way he was dismissed by his par-ty
with not even a “favorable mention.’’
He ought notto feel that way,as his par-ty
loved him four years ago, not for him-self
but for the barrel he had opened. It
is the inalienable right of any political
party to swap barrels at pleasure.
A NUMBER of uureasrnable newspapers
are complaining that tbe Republican

“FOR GOD AND HOME AND NATIVE
LAND'
This column is conducted by the Woman’s
Christian Temperance Union ol Mt. Pleasant,
In (lie Governor's Defense.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
The Governor has been sharply criti-cised
for failing to take this step earlier
in the history of the difficulty. But
while opinion may have been against the
Executive for his caution in taking this
step, it is possible that his course may
eventually prove to be the wisest one.
It was inspired by belief in the princi-ple
that it is better for civil author-ity
to restore order if possible. While
that hope has proved futile, it remains to
be seen whether the two or three days’
intermission will not prove to have done
no harm and possibly to have made mat-ters
better. It is clear that tho troops
could not have reached Homestead in
time to rescue the pent-up private watch-men;
while the interval of three days
will have given the workers time to re-flect
on the folly of opposing further
violent resistance to the power of tiie
state. The action of the Governor in as
8cmbllng the entire force of the state also
shows that when he takes action he wise-ly
does so in such force as to impress on
all the hopelessness of opposition to the
supremacy of the law.
The regular meetings of tiie W.C.T.U
will be held on tiie first and third Thurs
day of each month at 2:30 p. m. In the
Y. M. C. A. Hall.
THE CRIME OF DRINK.
Looking to Arbitration.
Pittsburg Leader.
New York already enjoys the benefit
of a legally constituted court of arbitra-tion,
consisting ol three members, one
from each political party, and one chosen
from the ranks of organized labor. It Is
left optional with the disputants, where
there is dissension over the treatment of
labor, to submit their case to this tribu
nal; but it will be readily perceived that
when disputes occur those who reject the
privilege of referring to a competent and
unbiased authority practically put them-selves
in the wrong and forego their
claim upon public consideration.
The establishment of a similar system
In Pennsylvania is well worth trying for.
Ours is an industrial state and subject,
more than any other, to the influence of
conflicts between capital and labor. Tiie
Homestead affair supplies a pointed illus-tration
of tbe deficiency existing in the
matter of legislation adapted to the
peaceable adjustments of such conflicts,
and, In the light of the events of the past
week, wo believe that no difficulty need
be experienced in having the deficiency
repaired by the next legislature.
Something must be done to make luw
leBS action like the present impossible, or
at least unlikely.
THE KING
OF THEM ALL!

REV. THOMAS DIXON, JII,
NEW YORK, June 12.—Rev. Thomas
Dixon, Jr., preceeded his sermon this
morning in Associaton hail with a review
of Dr. Rainsford’s proposition that the
church establish saloons. He said ;
Tiie distinguished rector of St.George’s
Episcopal church has recently declared
that the time is come when the church
of .Tesus Christ must takeouts license
and enter upon the business of selling
alcoholic drinks.
I am glad he sflid it.
I am glad tiie proposition came from
so high a source.
I am glad it has received tiie amount
and kind ot indorsement that has greeted
it.
Nothing has been said on this subject
for twenty years that lias so roused the
soul of tho church of .Christ with the
righteous wratti of God.
To tiie nation’s finger tips tiie church
quivers with indignation.
IS UK SANE?
It is a healthful sign. The slumber
ing, tiie half hearted and indifferent,
even, repudiate such a proposition with
amazement and horror.
My only fear is that interest In the
subject will he abated by the well nigh
universal conclusion that Dr. Ralngford
is insane. I wish to correct tills Impres-sion.
The doctor is not insane mentally,
though his proposition is tiie escence of
moral insanity. He is in dead earnest.
He Is a lover of ids fellow man, and tries
with tiie best light he lias to help save
him. But tills is Ids crotchet. It is
simply the one fatal defect in ids educa-tion.
And there are a great many well
meaning people wiio are allilcted more
or less with the same species of moral
mania,
VVImt are some of tiie radical fallacies
of Btich a church saloon scheme?
First—He says: “Tiie saloon has come
to stay. It is not a sin to drink. It Is
not a sin to keep a saloon. You cannot
convince a German or an Fhigllshman
that it is wrong to drink beer on Sunday.
Perhaps that is what is the matter with
me.”
PAINFULLY ENGLISH.
Precisely so! His difficulty is purely
provincial. It is painfully English.
England, with 37,000,000 people, drank
more alcoholic liquors last year than
America with her 02,000,000 people! The
fallacies, sophisms and hallucinations of
alcoholic ethics run in English blood.
Dr. Raineford is simply a belated travel-er
from tiie Old World, afflicted with the
Old World’s chronic disease.
We had to teach England some ele-mental
lessons in government a tew years
ago. We must teach England some ele-mental
lesFons In morals to-day.
As England lags yet one hundred years
behind us in progress of free govern-ment,
so England and English mind lag
more than a hundred years behind the
Christian conscience of America on tiie
temperance problem.
About seventy-flvc years ago Methodist
and Baptist ministers in America were
engaged in the sale of alcoholic liquors.
But what a chasm separates Methodism
from the saloon to day! Dr. Ralnsford,
therefore, is just catching up with the
position abandoned nearly a century
ago by the Methodists, lie is only a
hundred years behind the times in
America, that’s ail.
GOI) AND ALCOHOL.
Second—He says again: “I am totally
opposed to ‘soft drinks.’ ” He would
haye light alcoholic drinks instead. He
would advise the “moderate” use of al-cohol.
But the trouble iB, doctor, drunk-enness
is a criminal disease, and the
moderate use of alcohol is the only road
to drunkenness. All drunkards first use
it moderately. Can the churcli afford to
cultivate tills appetite and form habits
that kill the majority of those who form
them?
France and Belgium, according to last
year’s statistics, arc the most drunken
nations in the world.
Third—But the doctor says: “God
made alcohol,” True. In the same way
God made strychnine and arsenic. In
the same way God made William Tweed
aim Tammany Hall! In the same way
God made hell and hurled the devil into
it. But what of it. Are ail these things
good because they are the product of the
free play of divine law? The good will
survive; the bad must perish. As mem
hers of the kingdom of good we must
work in harmony with the law.
ASSIGN TO HELL?
Fourth--He says further: “You can-not
sweep darkness out witli a broom.
You can banish it with a candle.” Yes;
but, doctor, you propose to sweep out
alcohol with alcohol I How can you sweep
out darkness by turning on a hose pipe
charged with ink? Can weeds be rooted
out by sowing weeds? I do not see how
you can improve the odor of a skunk by
immersing him or sprinkling him with
the extract of Bkunk. I do not see lor
the life of me how you can sweep out
hell by flooding it with liquid damna-tion.
It seems to me, therefore, for Chrls-tion
people to take out a license and set
up a saloon to sell alcoholic drinks
would simply be for the church of Jesus
Christ to make an assignment to hell
and go out of business.

AND DIXON LINE.
OF THAT FA
A Long Standing Dispute Between
Lord Baltimore and the Penn
Family Led to the Survey in
Colonial Days.
The Mason and Dixon line is a line
running along the parallel of latitude 38
degrees 43 minutes 22.3 seconds, and
separating Pennsylvania from Maryland,
drawn by two English astronomers and
mathematicians. Charles Mason and Jer-emiah
Dixon. For about eighty years
after 1681 there were constant dissen-sions
between Lord Baltimore and the
Penn family, the rival proprietors in
Pennsylvania and Maryland, in regard
to the bonndry line between their colon-ial
possessions. An agreement was come
to in 1760, in accordance with which a
party of surveyors commenced to mark
out the real boundary.
The proprietors of London not under
standing the length of time required for
such an undertaking, and growing im-patient,
sent out Mason and Dixon to
complete the surveys, who commenced
the work In December, 1703. They con-cluded
their work in 1767, having mark-ed
out a line 244 miles in length, passing
through forests, over mountain ridgesi
etc. At the end of every fifth mile, it
is said, a stone was placed on which was
engraved on one side the arms of Lord
Baltimore, on the other those of the
Penn. The intermediate miles were
marked by smaller Btones with M. on one
side and P. on the other. All stones came
from England.
The surveys were revised in 1849, and
found substantially correct. This line
must be distinguished from that of 35 de-grees
30 seconds, which separated the
free and slave states of the original con-federation
; the latter is also the compro-mise
line which In 1820 was fixed as the
most northern limit of such slave states
as should be admitted into the union.
The tract of land granted to Penn In |
1681 lay west of the Delaware and north
of Maryland. A part of the southern
boundary was defined to be a circle
drawn at twelve miles distance from New
Castle northward and westward into the
beginning of the 40th degree of north
latitude. Mason was an assistant of Dr.
Bradley at the Royal Obsesvatory at
Greenwich. Both were members of the
Philosophical Society and were sent by
the society to the Cape of Good Hope to
observe the transit of Venus in 1769.
Dixon died in England in 1777. Mason
died in Pennsylvania in 1787. The com-missioners
appointed by Pennsylvania
and Maryland, consisting of Wayne Me-
Veagh, R. E. Monaghan, and others,
are now looking further after the line.

GENERAL JOHN BI DWELL.
Sketch of the Prohibition Candidate For
President*
General John Bidwell was one of the
earliest pioneers of California. He went
there over the plains long before the dis-covery
of gold. He was born in Chau-tauqua
county, N. Y., August 5, 1819.
At the age of 10 his parents settled at
Erie, and in 1831 moved to Ashtabula
county, Ohio, where he attended Kings-ville
Academy. He .taught school in
Ohio and Missouri, and in 1841 went to
Golden State. He served in the war with
Mexico, rising from the rank of second
lieutenant to that of major. He bought
a domain of 30,000 acres in Upper Sac-ramento
Valley for $3,000. It now gives
him a revenue of $100,000 a year. He
was a member of the Constitutional Con-vention
of 1849 and of the Democratic
Convention at Charleston in 1860.
During the rebellion lie was brigadier
of the Calliornia militia, and In 1864 was
sent toCongrcBSby the Republicans. In
1866 he was a member of the Philadel-phia
convention. In 1875 he was defeat-ed
for Governor. In 1890 he was the
Prohibition candidate for Governor and,
Indorsed by the Alliance, polled 16,000
votes, 2,000 more than Fisk received.
On becoming a member of the Prohl
bltiou party he destroyed half a million
dollars worth of wine.
He Drinks No Water.
Jack Irvin, of tlie Glovers’ Mill conn
try, Ky., bears the distinction of being
probably the only living man in the Uni-ted
States who has not swollowed a drop
of water for thirty-six years. Mr. Irvin
is now In his eighties, and for more than
an average lifetime has rigorously ab-stained
from the use of the liquid that
fills but does not inebriate. Neither does
he drink intoxicating liquors, although
living quite convenient to a distillery.
At his meals Mr. Irvin drinks coffee, tea
or milk, as the notion takes him. Be
tween meais, when lie feels his thirst
growing, lie gets out his pipe and smokes
lt.|While Mr. Irvin has pretty fair health
his neighbors say that his looks would
Indicate that tie is pretty well dried up
Mr. Irvin’s freak is about the strangest
on record.

IT STOPPED
last night and I can’t get it started again. It has cost me nearly as
much for repairs lately as the watch itself did when I bought it.
I have to take it to the shop every month or so, and I am
beginning to think I either got a bad bargain in the
first place or else these jewelers don’t under-stand
their business. Well, you
don’t take it to the right place

tlie country should stand firmly at the
hack of these men who are lighting at
Homestead.
THURSDAY.—By the emphatic vote of
154 to 130 the House yesterday afternoon
