REV. JOSEPH COOK DEAD.

Champion of Religion Against Seien Succnmbs to Bright Disease. Rev. Joseph Cook, the famous lect urer, reformer and champion of re ligion, as against science, died Tues day at his home in Ticonderoga, N Y., where he had be:n ill for several years. He was afflicted with a com plication of Bright's disease and a nervous disorder which threatened his life some years ago and caused his retirement from active work. Mr. Cook was, in the minds of many, one of the strongest men ever produced by this country. He was one of tha Christian leaders of the last century. and in that field he occupied a unique position. He was distinctly and alone the defender of the Christian religion against those who tried to destroy it in the name of science. Mr. Cook was one of the most remarkable of REV. JOSEPH COOK. American orator?. As late as 1892 Prof. A. P. Peabody said of him: "He Is a phenomenon to be accounted for. No other American orator has done what he has done or anything like it, and prior to the experiment no voice would have been bold enough to predict his success." Mr. Cook was born at Ticonderoga Jan. 26, 183S. His father's farm was located on the western shore of Lake George, and upon it In after years the son built himself the Bummer home where he spent the last of his years. He had no special advantages in the way of education, but, like many men who accomplish great things In the realm of the intellectual, he was self-taught. LATEST MARKET QUOTATIONS.

He died within a short time N Use for Slum Iilorer. Director Gerow of the Kansas state labor employment bureau declines thj offer of Alderman Gorman of New York to send 5,000 harvest hand? to Kansas. Mr. Gerow says the Kansas farmers do not want the kind of help a New York alderman would gather up from the slums of that city. He declares that the offer of Alderman Gorman sounds all right, but that he was born in New York City and knows that any scheme promulgated by the average alderman has. some kind of a Job at the other end of it.

The first blood in a strike riot in South Carolina has been spilled in the Southern railway shops in Columbia, S. C. Sunday morning about 125 men with faces blackened or wearing black masks attacked the north fence of the yards, which comprise twenty acres, quickly made a breach and marched in. There were forty-two men in the yards, sleeping in two cars. Twice the guard, Myers, ordered a halt, and when the leaders were within thirty yards fired both barrels of a shotgun into the midst of the mass. At the same moment a pistol ball struck Myers in the temple, but glanced off. He got behind cover and used his revolver. The strikers attacked the car and called on the men within to come out.

GREAT SIIEJ ORDERED Steel Workers Go Out in Large Force.

THOUSANDS ARE INVOLVED. Tresldrnt Shaffer Declarrs It ."Means Ficht to Ritter Enl ly AVorkrn?n lie Say Amalgamated Association I Not Unprepared for Rattle. President T. J. Shaffer issued orders from Pittsburg Sunday to all the union men employed in the various mills of the American Steel Hoop company to refuse to work Monday morning. In addition President Shaffer and other officials of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers tpent Sunday sending out circular letters to sublodcrf all over the country notifying the 00,000 :nembers or the strike declared Saturday against the American Sheet Steel company. The members of the board will decide whether all the uuion ni2ii employed by the United States Steel Corporation, which owns the sheet combine, shall be called out at this time. If they come out 200,000 men will be involved. It is estimated that 15,000 men will be subject to the call in tha American Steel Hoop mills in connection with the sheet steel strike. President Shaffer says: "The impression that only the mills of the American Sheet Steel company are affected by the decision of Saturday is a mistake. The workmen of all mills in the American Steel Hoop company are interested, and will be officially notified that the scale has not been signed and that they will quit work. To the well organized mills this notice will not be necessary, as the men will have watched the situation carefully, but what are known as open mills, where union men have been allowed to work side by side with the HOn-unlon, is where we have to move. Union men must walk out of these open mills in the hoop trust. The open mills to be notified are one at Hollidaysburg. Pa., three at Pittsburg, and one at Mon essen. The organized mills which will close on our call are the upper and lower mills at Youngttown. O.; Pomeroy. O.; Sharon. Pa.; Girard, Pa.; Warren, Pa.; Greenville. Pa. This, I believe, will bring the number of men affected up to 50,000. It is a matter of regret that the issue has been forced, but it now looks a.-? though it will be a fight to the death. The Amalgamated association is not tinprepared for it. We have not had a general strike for many years, and in that time we have not been idle. Wo have funds and will use them. Right here I want to correct an impression which has been given out that no benefits will be paid strikers until two months have elapsed. The Amalga

OHIO REPUBLICAN TICKET. Gov. Nah Renominate I (itt ef the I'Ut form. The Republican convention o;" Ohio at Columb-.is Tuesday nominated tho following ticket: Governor, George K. Na.-li; lieutt m;nt-overnor, Carl L. Nippert; state tri surer, Isaac B. Cameron; attfjixry-p-neral, John M. Sheets: jit'If"." supreme court, L. E. Emerson; boni public works, W. G. Johnson. The platform adopted says in part: "The principle of protection has acliievt'1 its most sUn:il triumph in the results of the Dinghy tariff law. It has given us marked prosperity at home and a rapidly growing export trade, which are the envy of tb woild. The Republican tariff policy has made the fanner and laborer mor I'losprrous than ever, and no legislation should be permitted which will imperil the interest of either." On trusts and other issues it tays: "We recopnize tht right of both 'alot and capital to combine when such combinations are wisely admiuit'; 1 for the general good, but combinations which create monopolies to control prices or limit production, are an evil which must be met by effective legislation, vigorously enforced. The only legislation national or in Ohio on thU subject has been enacted by the Republican party, and that party can be safely intrusted to deal with this problem."

Jurist Who Iisueil Debs Injnnction Dies Suddenly. Judge William A Woods of the United States Circuit court died suddenly while lying in his bed in his apartments at the Delano, in Indianapolis Friday.

Judge Woods was deeply interested in judicial procedure in all the federal courts, and frequently made trips to Chicago while the United States Court was sitting there. Marquand & Co. Forced to Wall. Henry Marquand & Co., bankers and brokers of New York, have made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors. Frank Sullivan Smith, a lawyer, was named as tho assignee, and Henry W.
