This was the most reasonable- proposition which has ever been made to the association and it was clearly the dutv of President Shaffer to Javo accepted it then and there. Hut InHead of doing thin lie turne! it down flatly In a. speech in which he declared that all must be signed for or none. He apparently wished to impress the stel official with th belief that the association would compel them to sign for all whether they wished to do so or not. The representatives of the corporation, however, would not bo dictated to in this manner, and they broke off the conference. Since that time thre has been no conference, or off r of a ompromiso, and the nearest any one repre-f-eitir.g the association has been able to Ret To Mr. Morgan or Mr. Schwab has been Yy lonar-dl'tanco telephone to their private s retaries."

The other members of the executive board, however. semcd to l in accord with Shaffer's views. strikers stories denied.

CnrnrgiP Cnmpnny Ofllclal Say the I)uiiirfinr l'liiut I IliinnliiK. PITTSBURG. I'd., Sept. 1. The principal interest in strike matter to-day was centered in the Du'i'iesne plant, where It was expected th strikers would make a decided move toward closing down the entire works. The report from here to-night says the situation Is critical. The two boss melters and all first helpers went to work as usual this morning and all twelve furnaces were charged. Only one second helper went In and all ladle men stayed out. The strikers made a thorough house to house canvass of open hearth men all day. At 4 o'clock the time for helpers and ladle men to go on, pickets were on duty on the streets and turned back three ladle men. The night turn is badly crippled, but men were brought from the Bessemer department to in lp out and the mill is running full. Sixty of the day turn men are off and the Selkers say not a man will report tomorrow morning. If the open hearth is shut down the forty-inch mill must also shut down. This mill supplies Moncssen, Vanderzrift and tin mills, her.ee the move ment is important to the strikers. Mill ofÜclals admit to-day that a strike is on,' but say no serious results will follow. Thirty coal and iron police were brought from Jiraddock, and the night and day borough police with four extras are on duty. Everything so far has been conducted in an orderly manner. Steel olficials in Pittsburg to-night declare that, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding, there is no strike at Duquesne and will be none. They say all night-turn men reported for duty and the plant Is being worked to its full capacity. They are confident the entire day-turn force will go to work as usual in the morning. A conservative estimate of the amount of strike benefits that are to be paid by the Amalgamated Association to its striking members now Idle h.is been placed at $W,onj every week. This is basing the number of beneficiaries at l'),Uoo and tne average payment to a member at $1 a week. Secretary Williams, of the association, said that the payments will bo made every two weeks commencing Sept. 14. and will be? continued so long as the strike lasts. He declares there will be plenty of money to care for all the striking members, and in cases where the ? is not enough for the care of ta member and hs family, more will be given. No statement of the actual condition of the Amalgamated treasury has even ben given out, but from the way contributions nave come into the organization and the normal sum of money there, it is believed that the present balance to the credit of the order is uuite large. Mr. Williams says, however, that the organization has resources not known to the general public that will enable it to continue its strike for almost an indefinite length of time. President Shaffer, who is tu take a very active part in the Labor day festivities tomorrow, was not at home to reporters today. President Simon Hums, whose reputed Interview with President C. M. Schwab in New York over the long-distance telephone is generally believed, said to-day that he had not heard anything new from New York. He rem lined abso! ;,cly noncommital regarding his plans io. bringing about Xace, but he Is hopeful and evidently believes that some solution of the present serious predicament of the Amalgamated Association will ultimately be found. Most of the mills in Pittburg were deserted during to-day. The nttempt of the tin iiiiiij uii.aia iif uii.i in titllllllCMlcll forces early this morning had the effect of keeping a large force of strikers' pickets about the mills all of to-day. It is reported that the company ran in eight men from Philadelphia and that the strikers pulled out four deserters from tho mill. There was nothing attempted in the way of picket duty about the Painter mills during the day. The strikers spent a portion of the day making personal calls at the homes of th men working in the mills and who live in the West End. These visits are repeated every week, and thus far have accomplished but little. Reports from the other plants show an unchanged condition. It is given out that the officials of the strikers will not permit LABOR DAY WEATHER. Indiana, Work ItiKinrn Probably "Will Parade I' ml er Fair Skle. WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.

any relaxation of the picket duty tomorrow, i;i spite of the special ceremonies poing on In the Interest of organized labor. The force of pickets will be maintained in every vicinity, and all mills will be kept continuously under the ey s of the strikers who will be able to act promptly should nonunion men arrive at any hour of th day or niht. It has been generally believed that the corporation would take advantage of Labor day to rush in a larsf-r force of nonunonlsts than usual and th'.a has been provided for. Amalgamated headiiarters will be deserted most of to-morrow. President Shaffer will be occupied with the purade and his address In Hoss grove. All of the other officers of the organization usually about Pittsburg will be engaged in working up enthusiasm for the organization movement and the cause of the Amalgamated Association. With all the benefit entertainments and excursions that will be hld during to-morrow the strikers expect their cause to be materially aided. Petween twenty and thirty nonunion workmen arrived at Canal Dover to-day by special train to go to work in the sheet plant. The management claims that four mills will be running one tur.i to-morrow morning and that the balance will be placed in operation in the near future. The strikers continue to watch the mill from a distance, but nothing approaching interference occurred to-day. STPIKFItS STHAL A MARCH. Tho strikers stole a march on the manager of the Star tin plant at about midnight to-night and took from him nine of a party of twelve nonunionists being taken to the mill. The men arrived over the Pennsylvania Railroad from Philadelphia, about 11:30 p. m., and were met by a large force of policemen, who had orders to see that they were safely landed In an omnibus to be driven to the mill at Twelfth street. Tho policemen at the Union Station performed their duty successfully, but after tho vehicle left the station it was surrounded by a crowd of strikers. Stones and vile epithets were hurled at the newcomers, and in spite of the efforts of the driver of the 'bus to speed his team, the strikers reached the mill ahead of the nonunionists, completely overpowered the two lone policemen stationed there and literally carried off nine of the men and lodged them In a hotel on Liberty avenue, the other three being pulled Into the mill yard by the company people. The trip from the station to the mill was a most exciting one. The strikers who had gathered at the depot were maddened by the policemen ordering them not to speak to nor molest the newcomers In any way, and as soon as the omnibus got fairly started on its journey stones, cinders and dirt were hurled at it. A large bowlder crushed in the rear window of the vehicle, and its occupants became thoroughly frightened and crouched on the h"eor. When the mill was reached, tho overwhelming number of strikers crowded the two policemen back and had possession of their prey before assitance could be summoned. Th whole affair, from station to mill and until quiet had been' restored, occupied not more than lifteen minutes. The strikers say they will either secure work for the stolen men or buy them return tickets to their home?.

Mlmly Attended Meeting. CHICAGO, Sept. 1. Not over fifty men attended the meeting to-night called by the steel workers of South Chicago to explain to the other labor unions the reason why they refused to obey the strike orders of President Shaffer of the Amalgamated Association. The Iron Molders and Horse Shoers' unions were the only outside organizations that sent representatives to tho meeting, although all the. labor unions in Chicago had received invitations. The meeting lasted for several hours and President Shaffer came in for criticism by a number of the speakers. The arguments of the nonstrlkers centered about their contract with the Illinois Steel Company, its sacredness and inviolability. No provision has teen made for the South Chicago steel werkers in to-morrow's labor parade and the steel company has arranged a picnic to take the men away from the scene of their intended "humiliation." Morewood Plant to lie Picketed. special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARION, Ind., Sept. 1. The &X employes of the Morewood plant of the American Tin-plate Company at Gas City, this county, who have Wen out since the strike was inaugurated by the Amalgamated Association of Iron. Steel and Tin Workers several weeks ago. have had intimation that the company Is preparing to send a force of men there to take the places of the strikers and resume opera tion or the mill. In anticipation of any such movement the strikers have placed pickets 011 duty to watch developments. Viru of Clem Jnrvl. fecial to the InuIanajoli.s Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Sept. 1. Clem Jarvis, a vice president of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, today published a letter setting out his views regarding the steel strike. The sum and substance of the letter is that laboring men have a right to organize to combat organized capital. TRAGEDIES OF A KIND. Two Marshal Shot by BroM Whom They "Were Trylnrc to Arret. PARIS, Tenn., Sept. 1. Marshal Iiollar, a deputy sheriff, aged twenty-eight, was shot by Thomas Tharp, a negro, last night, and died this morning. Tharp was returning from a picnic and fired ofT his revolver. Dollar attempted to arrest him, and the negro killed him, after which he escaped. Bloodhounds are on the trail of the fugitive, and mob violence is threatened. Dollar was popular and highly connected. CAIRO. III., Sept. 1.

COPENHAGEN, Sept. l.-The Russian imperial yacht Standart, bearing Emperor Nicholas and Empress Alexandra, dropped anchor in Kjogc bay to-night. PARIS. Sept. 1. The premier, M. Waldi ck-Rousseau, was in conference to-day with the minister of foreign affairs, M. Delcasse. and the forthcoming visit of the Russian Emperor was discussed. As a result of the conference it was definitely decided that I'resident Loubet accompanied by the members of the Cabinet, would proceed to Dunkirk, Sept. 17, and embark the following day on the torpedo boat destroyer Cassini to meet the Czar. After the'landing and the luncheon in the hall of the Chamber of Commerce, M. Loubet ami their Imperial Majesties will start immediately for Compiegne. Sept. ID will be devoted to the review at Pethany and to the visit to Rheims. Nothing has been arranged definitely for Sept. , except the state banquet at Compiegne and the gala performance in the Castle Theater. It is still hoped that the Czar will come to Paris on the morning of Sept. 2i but It is more probable he will merely visit the evirons of Compiegne and leave the following morning. The L'clair says it is not unlikely that a couple of Italian warships will go to Dundirk during the visit of the Czar. There is great disappointment in Dunkirk at the shortness of the Czar's stay there, especially as the quay will be isolated from the public, which will thus scarcely get a glimpse of the Russian Kmperor. It is understood that tho Russian embassy anil the Czar's entourage settled the details. M. Delcasse told the mayor of Dunkirk that it would be imposible to arrange for a modification of the programme. M'l.IK) LIOM.PI) BY SMART SKT. llinhop Derrick, of the A. M. IL Church, Honored by Women. LONDON, Sept. 1. The strange sight of devout church women, fashionably attired and radiant in the beauty of evening costumes, paying homage to a negro of commanding figure, attired in the conventional evening dress of men, was to b seen last night in St. Ermin's Hotel. Bishop Derrick, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church ot the United States, over whose presence in the hotel so much disturbance has been made by certain Americans, was the negro. He has just returned from the continent, where his experience was the very reverse of the contumely which some whites have sought to heap upon him. While in a large church some devout women mistook him for a sunburnt Italian prelate, and they knelt to him and kissed his hand before he realized their purpose and could correct their error. Insulting letters are still coming to the proprietor of St. Ermin's, from men who rtsent his shelter of the bishop, but they are outnumbered by those who congratulate him upon his courage and Independence. One man, signing himself "A Southerner," has invited the hotel proprietor to visit "the South" and be riddled with bullets. EAVSPAPRIt OFFICES ATTACKED. Manaeer nntl Two I?dltor Assaulted by SpanUh .nrnl Ofllcer. MADRID, Sept. 1. El Correo de Guipuzcoa, a Carlist journal, published in San Sebastian, tho summer residence of the Spanish court, recently printed an article which the officers of the Spanish squadron stationed off San Sebastian considered insulting. A score of the officers went last evening to the offices of the paper and attacked the manager and two editors with sticks. A free fight followed, in which a lieutenant was severely hurt and two other officers were slightly injured. The manager of the paper and one editor were roughly handled, receiving considerable injury. Several of the officers were arrested, but they were liberated on giving their word of honor to keep the peace. The excitement in the town continues. According to Kl Liberal fifty officers were concerned and three successive attacks were made. Rifting; Against Tax Collectors. MADRID, Sept. 1. The inhabitants of Setenil, near Cadiz, have risen against the tax collectors. It is reported that a serious conflict has taken place, several persons being killed or injured. COOI) KING llONOKF.D.

At noon to-day Kln.7 Christian witnessed from Amalienberg Palace, the ordinary residence o the Danish royal family, a notable demonstration by the Liberals in his honor. Eight thousand persons passed in review. The King, in the presence of Queen Alexandra, King George, the dowager Czarina and other royal personages, received a special deputation, who thanked him for reposing confidence in the people and adopting a Liberal Ministry. In tlm course of a gracious speech of reply King Christian said the Mlnistery might rest assured of every support on his part and he trusted the ma jority of the people who nau T-alieu tne leaders of the opposition to office, would support them in a much more difficult task as responsible government leaders. Amid great enthusiasm ids Majesty then proceeded to one of the balconies and proposed a cheer for "our beloved fatherland." At the state banquet there were 2,200 guests. Dr. Duontzer, the premier, in the presence of all the other members of the Cabinet, outlined his political programme, including tax reform and reforms in the system of judicature. He characterized the appointment cf the new Ministry as a practical proof that self-government by the people will now be carried on through their elected representatives. "WORK OF THC HO HKS.

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) of dollars' worth of their property bting crushed and destroyed. another ano greater portion of the city was wrapped in slumber, totally oblivious to the danger surrounding their fellow-citizens. Still another remarkable thing is that comparatively little damage was done along the banks of the river outside of tho washing away of loose piles of lumber. The damage to houses and their effects cannot be estimated accurately perhaps for days, but it will reach close to the naiimillion mark. The cltv will also lose heavily on damage to street culverts, bridges and pavements over the district covered by the water. Residents along East Prospect street, near Lincoln avenue, on Lincoln avenue and Glenn Park place were aroused between 4 and 3 o'clock in the morning by the sound of the booming waters. The water continued steadily to rise until it was eight feet deep. TEN FEET DEEP. Py 6 o'clock the residents along Lincoln avenue commenced to move furniture and valuables to the second story, as the rushing torrent reached the level of front porches and in a number of houses swept into the first floors. The waters rushed back from Lincoln avenue until the big space just east of the avenue and between East Prospect street and Euclid avenue was one great mass of angry water from four to ten feet in depth. Rams and huge pieces of lumber were swirled about like light corks and banged into many Lincolnavenue homes, threatening their destruction. The residents along the north side of East Prospect street, from Lincoln avenue to within a few feet of Pillings avenue, were penned in their homes like stranded islanders. The water came up to the porch steps sind within a few feet of the porches it was lour to live feet in depth. The families of Mrs. V. E. Newton and F. A. Warren, on Willimette court, had a terrible experience with the fiood. Mrs. Newton's mother, Mrs. Caroline Hamm, aged eighty-six years, is in a serious condition as a result of the fright and exposure. For three hours the women Signale! for help from their house, which sits down in a little valley which placed it at the absolute mercy of the rushing waters. The barn ami shed were swept from their foundations and this added to the terror of the two women, who were alone in the house. As the water reached a depth of six feet and commenced to pour into the first lloor, the women became almost frartic. No boats were at hand and as wading was out of the luestion, neighbors called to the frightened women to remain where they were until other means of rescuing them could be secured. A rude raft, was hastily put together and the families rescued. RAD WASHOUTS. A washout occurred on the Lake Shore road, near the Eddy road, in Glenville. Two hunderd men are at work repairing the damage. The Nickel-plate "Railroad embankment in the rear of St. Joseph's Cemetery was badly washed out by the flood throwing a largo number of freight cars into a brook. On Ehart street a large sewer caved in, taking with it the entire street and tho sidewalk. Deering street, which runs parallel to Euclid avenue, was a scene of Indescribable excitement. The lower end of the street was completely tlooiled, and the upper windows of the houses were filled with frightened men and women, who were almost in a panic. Two policemen carried a boat on their shoulders from Wade Park to the scene of the fiood. and began the work of carrying out of langer those who were penned up in their homes and unable to escape. No less than nine households were saved by the timely work of the policemen. In several of the bouses the water poured over the lower lloors, and furniture went swimming about the rooms. The residents were forced to grope to the second story and wait the coming of- the rescuers. Several persons wer1 rescued from tho upper stories by means of ladders. Shrieking women and crying children were carried down the shaky ladders, put in boats and brought to dry land. To-day's rainfall wa the greatest In local weather history. The precipitation was 4.2S inches. Slorm in Murlnnd. CUMPERLAND, Md., Sept. 1. A series of heavy rainstorms last night and to-day caused considerable damage to farm prop erty and roads, in this section. Traffic has been impeded on the West Virginia Central Railroad by a big washout near Rawhng: and on the Raltimore fc Ohio Railroad, by a heavy landsliue near .Magnolia. MELVAR MAY SURRENDER. Prospect of Permanent Peace Im proving in the Philippines. MANILA, Sept. 1. Everything points to the early capture or surrender of Miguel Melvar, the insurgent leader. When either event occurs everything will be favorable to establishment of permanent peace. It is In the plans of the military author itics as a first step toward reducing tho force, to mike two departments instead of four, which would result in a considerable saving. The headquarters of one depart ment would be Manila and Of the other lloilo. Each elay shows an increasing number of surrenders and captures In all the dis affected districts. Later accounts of the recent engagement in Datangas province between Capt. H. C. Hale, with a detach ment of the Twentieth Infantry, and the insurgent lealer Gonzales show that It was more important than it was first considered. Many leserters and renegades were seen and heard giving commands in English. Colonel Gracias. two officers and lift j men were killed after an engagement lasting three hours. To-morrow Dr. Pardo de Tavera, Benito Legardo and Jose Luzuriaga will take the oath of ofiice as members ot tne pniiip nine commission.

FOREIGN MONEY MARKETS

LOM)( STOCK i:CH A Mil: AM) IlERLl. ROEItSi: CONDITION. Little Prospect of Inipro emeu t In Gerinnn Industrie!, Which Arc Still tienernlly IlprteI. BERLIN. Sept. 1. Last weeks Boerse was very dull, but the undertone was somewhat firm. The monthly settlement passed off very smoothly, the engagement for the carry-over being phenomenally light. The abundance of money had the effect of Im proving the demand for foreign rentes and domestic securities. Among the former Chinese were preferred on the strength of the announcement that Li Hung Chang and Prince Citing had notified the foreign ministers in Peking that they were prepared to sign the settlement protocol. Mexicans found great favor at Frankfort upon American orders. "The opinion prevails here," says the Frankfort Gazette, "that Mexicans are returning to Mexican hands." Bank stock was inactive, the changes being unimportant. According to the Vossische Zeitung, some first-class banks are reducing the number of their employes, owing to the stagnation of Boerse business. It is also admitted that the banks are nowoperating at a smaller profit than during the first six months of the year. The general tone of industrials was weak, the falls outnumbering the rises. A number of industrial companies published their annual reports during the week, and they showed unsatisfactory results. Moreover the July returns of the great coal companies disappointe1 expectation as a result of cheaier selling in foreign markets. The syndicate made a slight advance in price on stove coal during tne week, but it is making special exertions to expel British coal from the Weser district. The coal imports for July show HO.OUO tons loss and the exports 136,j0 tons gain. The improvement of the Berlin iron market had awakened hopes of improvement here, but not tho slightest sign of betterment has appeared. On the contrary, the situation appears to grow worse. Reports from the Siegen district had a elepresslng effect upon Saturday's Boerse, as had also the auction of open-hearth blooms at Kssen, which brought 71 marks, as against marks nominal. The Gladbach Chamber describes the textile situation as very black, with an expectation of further shutting down and wage reduction. BRITAIN'S SEW LOAN. An, Avalnnche of Criticism Kipected AY he 11 It In Floated. LONDON, Sept. 1. A feature which seems to be persistently ignored by optimistic financial critics here Is. the fact that the government has never professed that the last consols would provide for active operations in South Africa beyond Oct. 15. There seems small doubt that an avalanche, of criticism will accompany the new loan which will Inevitable be announced and this will operate as a serious setback for the present more hopeful tone of the Stock Exchange. In the meantime the small but steady absorption of gilt-edged securities which has been noted for the last fortnight continues. Business in home railroad stocks was slightly better throughout the week, although the statements of twelve leading roads, while showing an Increase of rj2KA sterling in passenger earnings luring the last nine weeks, showed a decrease of Cos.eio sterling in freight earnings, as against the corresponding period of last year. The American department of the Stock Exchange continues very active, coal shares leading 011 further talk of community of interest, coupled with the aspect for the steel strike, which is regarded here as indicating an ultimate break down. The substantial advance in Krie took bargain hunters rather off their guard, but there was considerable speculative demand even at the rise on the rumor that Krie common would go to GO. Mining shares in a modest way showed the general feeling of encouragement. The deposition of Whittaker Wright at the meeting of the Leroy Mining Company, limited, added decidedly to the Joyousness of thb situation. The Rand now boasts 365 stamps and one new permit to resume was issued during the week. West Australians were decidedly stronger, outside buyers venturing in, although timidly. Altogether, barrinff accidents and the inevitable government borrowing, the Stock Exchange seems to be looking in the direction of more prosperous times. FRANCIS HAS ESCAPED. Mob I'nablc to Find the Murderer of 31 is Henderson. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 1. "Bossle" Francis, the alleged murderer of Miss Mary Henderson at Columbus, Mo., last Tuesday, has not yet been apprehended and many people believe that he is no longer In the vicinity of Johnson county. There is no conclusive evidence that the man whom the posse was after last night near Strasburg and Pleasant Hill was Francis. The only persons who saw him were some section hands and to-day they told Deputy Sheriff Temple, of Johnson county, that they saw a man running from the railroad tracks to the woods, but they could not tell whether he was a negro or a white man. A negro was taken off a freight train at Harrisonville late last night, but he was not the man wanted. Sheriff Koch, at Warrensburg, was to-lay notified that a negro was arrested early this morning at Clinton, Mo., and a photograph of the prisoner will be sent to the sheriff for identification. No effort was made to find Francis in Johnson county to-day. lie is believed to be in Cass or Henry county and a fewarmed men are searching for him in those counties. Posses left Pleasant Hill and Lee's Summit this afternoon to prosecute the hunt between those towns, as they had heard that a negro answering the description of Francis had been seen in that neighborhood to-day. Information against Charles and Frank Brisco and Emmet Davenport, charging them with being accessories after the fact of the murder of Mis3 Henderson, have been filed at Warrensburg. The preliminary hearing will be held Wednesday at Warrensburg. BIG SNAKE IN WATER PIPE. Surprise for n Superintendent and Hngineer at a Pumping Stntion. FREEHOLD, N. J., Sept. l.Superlntendent Winfield Scott Matlack, of the Freehold borough water systems, and Engineer Geo. Kelsey, had a queer adventure with a snake while at the pumping station at Lake Topanemus endeavoring to connect the feed pump with the compressor on a new artesian well. A piece of old iron pipe was used to make the connection. The pipe was about sixteen feet long, and, as but fourteen feet were needed, they cut two feet off one end. It was then found it was toppeel up. so they stood it on end and tapped it with hammers, so that any foreign matter In it would fall out. Some dirt fell out of the pipe, and. thinking it was then clear, Mr. Matlack mounted a ladder near the pump, and Mr. Kelsey mounted another at the either point of e onnection. Looking into the pipe while on the ladder Mr. Matlack could not see through it. and Engineer Kelsey blew into the pipe with all his might to try and clear it. while Mr. Matlack stood looking into the pipe from the other end. He was thus engaged when the head of a big black snake emerged from it. The snake hissed in his face, and waved hi? head as it crawled further and further out. Mr. Matlack let go his end of the pipe jn an instant, ami it fell to the floor. The snake crawled out and was klcd by the men. it was over six feet long. Letter Carrier at Cha t tn nooua.

War IletTTeeii Journeymen and lmployera at er York. NEW YORK. Sept. 1. The new law compelling butcher shops to remain closed on Sunday went into effect to-day and a tight to have the enactment declared Invalid will be commenced. To see that the measure was properly enforced, the Henchmen's Association, which is the organ of journeymen butchers, had men patrolling the streets and watching butcher sheps in eery part of the city. There were hundreds of pickets out, ami as a result about a dozen arrests were made. In some instances the prisoners were Mneel from $1 to iö: in one or two they were dischargeel. ana iu two instances neia to special sessions. The boss butchers who are opposed to the 1rv hive retained counsel. Their attorney announces that he will attack th constitu tionality of the measure when th matter comes up in the Court of Spee lal Sessions. The employing butchers who oppose' the law claim it is a most arbitrary and unreasonable one. in that up to P) o'clock In the morning people can buy cold meats and other edibles at delicatessen stores. Thev claim that Governor Odell signed it under a misapprehension, thinking that It was favored by the butcher shop proprietors, as well as the journeymen's union. The former claim that 75 per cent, of the men running meat establishments are opposed to it. It is also asserted that people of little means will suffer by it, for they cannot afford to buy ice boxes ami keep their meats in it over Saturday night. ROOSEVELT IN PULPIT LAY SF.UMOSS DELIVERER TO TWO cmcAtio co.;iu:gations. Dntr of Man to III !elchbor A Vinlt to Hnll lloune Lunch with Politician. CHICAGO, Sept. 1. Two lay sermons, a luncheon with several Illinois politicians and a visit to Hull House were the events that occupied Vice President Roosevelt in Chicago to-day. He left to-night for Minneapolis, where he will deliver a Laborday oration to-morrow. After breakfasting at the Chicago Club with Taul Morton, of the Santa Fe road, the Vice President was driven to the Trinity Dutch Reformed Church, on Marshfleld avenue. This is the church Mr. Roosevelt usually attends when in Chicago, and he is known personally to many members of the congregation. After the sermon the pastor invited him to the platform, and the Vice President, as has been his custom when visiting this church, made a short informal address, telling the worshipers that true happiness could be found only by trusting in God and being faithful to the country. "I shall not attemnt to nreach loctrtne," he said. "This is to be simply a lay sermon. For my text I have taken a passage that always has impressed me forcibly. It is. Re ye doers of the word. Not hearer? only.' One of the most abhorrent traits of character a man can possess, in my estimation, ts hypocrisy," said Colonel Roosevelt. "We all have nut men who go about clothing themselves in scriptural teachings and yet whose conduct toward their fellow-men shows that they do not live up to the teaching 'Love thy neighbor as thyself.' The great thing in this world for us to be is doers. Of course, to be doers we murt be hearers. That is, we must go to church and study the Bible, but our duty does not end there. We should give a helping hand to others by spreading the word of Christ. I is well enough to tell a man what he ought to do, but this must be Supplemente! by somo practical demonstration of applica tion. "In your business and work if you let Christianity stop when you leave the church door there Is not much richteou? ness in you. The man who earries Chris lianity into his every-day work stands a better chance of making a success of life than one who does not. "Every man should strive to do Justice to himself, but in doing so he should not forget the rights of his neighbor. He should be sure that he is in the right and then stand squarely In the path. If there is any moving to be done, let the other fellow elo it. This applies to nations as well as to individuals. "Wc have all seen this type of man who is spoken of as his worst enemy. I have no patience with him. Often he is a worse enemy to others. A manly man and that is what we all ought to be must have strength and perseverance. It is the trials of life that test the stuff a man or woman is made of and the one who is strong, fearless and courageous to do right is the ideal. "On this question of our duty to our neighbors, let me say that no one ought to submit to being Imposed upon, but before you act always stop to consider the rights of others before standing up for your own. The only true way to help a man is to aid him in helping himself. All of us stumble many times during a lltetime and the dutv of man to his neighbor is to help him to his feet as he may help himself. Vou can help a man successfully, but you cannot carry him successfully. If you rob a man if his self-respect, take away his sturdy self-reliant manhood no good you can do win make amends." At the conclusion of the service Colonel Roosevelt held an informal reception and spent half an hour shaking hands with members of the congregation ami writing his autograph In hymn books and IJibles, after which lie drove to the First Methodist Church and aeldressed the congregation there. A number of politicians, among whom was Representative William Lorimer. were waiting for the Vice President when he re turned to his hotel, and the party took luncheon together. As the affair was private, it is not known whether politics was eliscussed or not. When the party disperse! Colonel Roosevelt walked over to Hull House, where he had a private talk with Miss Jane Afldams until train time, when he left at 6:30 o'clock for Minnesota. MAKING "Xi:V POTATORS." Hotv Old Tuber Are Doctored to Deceive the I'nuury, Popular Science Monthly. It is in California, where potatoes are rew anywhere from April to July, that this industry is possible and flourishes. The manufacturing gardener is an enterprising genius of foreign extraction, generally Portuguese. Italian or Chinaman, and he makes the most of his opportunities. Ry his private process of making new potatoes ho gets at least two months advance on the market in many places, and thereby reaps a profit many times above what the legitimate natural product would bring him. The extent of this business must be pomewhat gigantic, for I have neen these made new potatoes in all the markets from Denver to Albuquerque, and Salt Lake to Cape Nome. The commission merchants and wholesale dealers must certainly know of and abet the fraud or the gardener could not market his wares. The average retail merchant is not aware of the deception to my own personal knowledge, and deals out to his customers in all innocence the fraudulent new potato. The method of their manufacture is unique, and it is done as follows: Late In the season, after other crops ar out of th way. the gardener plantn a crop of late and good keeping potatoes. The time has been chosen from experience, and Is opportune for a yield of small potatoes before the frost of winter come down upon the gardener's truck patch. These potatoes are dug and buried in heaps in the open field and left until spring opens ar.d the new potato season arrives. At the proper time the heaps are opened and tne potatoes sorted according to sizes. In the meantime a'large kettle or vat is set in the held adjacent to the potato heaps, and made ready by Idling with water and adding sufficient lye to effectually curl the skin of the potato when dipped into the boiling solution. A crane and metal basket are rigged so that the dipping can be done expeditiously, and the way that new potatoes are turned out is astonishing. The effect of dipping any potato, no matter how old. into this boiling lye solution I to crack and curl the skin, and at the same time it hardens or makes the potato much more Arm, so that its resemblance to a new potato Is so near that It would be hard to pick out the impostor, from appearance alone, from a basket of the genuin rtiel. After dipping the potatoes are rinsed In another vat ami spread out to dry in the sun. and cure into perfect new potatoes, and the work is complete. The only way that you can tell tho fraudulent new potato is to cut one on.'- and noth-e Its appearaiice carefully frrotn i.. cumftrrnce to center.
