TEARS COURSED DOWN CHEEKS OF MINE LEADER John Mitchell Made Eloquent

Speech as He Refused to; Accept $2,700, the Gift of i Western Miners. 1 MONEY WILL BE USED IN EDUCATING HIS SONS. President Looks Back on the Marked Progress of Mine Workers' Organization During His Long Presidency. IndianapoIl5, Ind., January 22. Per th ap the mofat eloquent speech President John Mitchell, of the United '.Mine Workers, ever made in his life was that when he declined to accept a personal gift of $L700 tendered him by the minera of Montana and Wyoming sas a token of their appreciation of his efforts to make their condition better. ,Ab he spoke, trying to check his emotion, tears came to his eyes. Thomas Gibson. President of the Montana Miners had come to the platform carrying a draft for .::, . He. paid the draft was backed by a smaller lamount which would bring the amount hip to $2,700. President Mitchell arose. As he ppoke he seemed ready to break down. 'Gentlement of the convention," he ,aid, "and particularly the miners of (Montana and Wyoming, I cannot ex- , plain to you how I appreciate this expression of good will and confidence in me. I don't know what to do I don't want the nioutf If I could ask you to take it hw- o the men who sent it here and i; they would know I appreciate then- confidence as much as though they had given me as many millions as they have hundreds, I would feel better about it. To Educate Our Boys. "1 prefer that you take the money back, but if you cannot do that without danger of giving offense to the good people who sent it to me then send it to Mrs. Mitchell and let her use it to educate our boys." The draft will bo sent to Mrs. Mitchell. The nineteenth annual convention of ihe United Mine Workers will remain in session probably until after Jauuary 30, on which date the miners and operators of the central competitive field, will meet in conference to discuss the revival of the interstate wage agreement. Should the operators decline to meet with the miners the convention will then determine upon the organization's future course. Union No. ST.9, of Belleville, 111., has presented President Mitchell with a loving cup. With his annual report President Mitchell eubmitted a series of statistic al tables indicating the growth, prog ress and achievements of the organiza tion during his presidency. The aver age paid-up membership has increased from 9,731 in 1SD7 to 4JG.,72tj in 1!X7. The Increase last year was 33,X?5. The organization is in better condition numerically than ever before. Refuse to Consolidate. Attention was called to mine casualties aud laws further protecting min ers wero asked for. The adoption of j an Insurance plan similar to that "of I railroad brotherhoods was advocated, j with an indemnity of $100. Attention ; was called to tho need of child labor laws. The proposition to consolidate with the Western Federation of Minera was not favored. In bidding farewell officially to the convention and organization President Mitchell referred to his service of nine years and seven months as president during which the organization has increased In membership to nearly' 300,000, with an accumulated fund of $900.000. He regretted his Inability to serve longer on account of his health, and bade the organization his official farewell.

INTERCEDES IN BEHALF OF BECKHAM William Jennings Bryan Spoke Before the Kentucky Legislature. NOT AFRAID OF CHANCES. SAYS HE MIGHT BE A CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENCY DURING THE PRESENT YEAR IF DELE GATES SEE FIT. Frankfort. Ky.. Jan. 22. The climax of W. J. Bryan s visit to Frankfort was reached yesterday afternoon v lien he spoke to the democratic members of the legislature behind closed floors, advocating the election of ex-Gover nor uecKiiaui as (jnitcu huncs seuator. Mr. Bryan said neither Beckham nor anybody else had invited him to Frankfort. He declared he bad no fears for himself. He said he was told in the Goebel campaign that lie might hurt himself if be came to Kentucky. "I ,am not afraid of hurting myself when the interests of the democratic party are at stake." said Mr. Bryan. "I might be a candidate this year," he said. "I do not know. Only two delegates have been elected and they have been instructed for me, but they are not enough to elect me. If what I say here affects my chances of elec tion it is not a sufficient bribe to keep my mouth closed. I am in the habit of saying what I think and letting every man In the world think of it as he pleases." t He said he had come to Kentucky not for Beeknam, but for the democratic nominee, and that if MeCreary were the nominee for senator be would be hero speaking for MeCreary. THE WORD "QUACK." " Its Origin Traced Back to the Sixteenth Century. The original and acquired, meanings of many an old. word have been cleared up ia the law courts. When "quack" had its turn. Sir Edward Clarke, who was probably quoting a dictionary, defined the word as "a boastful pretender to medical skill." "Quack" is undoubtedly derived by suggestion from the quacking of a duck. The quack doctor has always substituted volu bility for knowledge. "Quacker" and "quacking cheat" were sixteenth century words. "Quack" in its present sense is certainly as old as 1696, when It was included in the earliest of our slang dictionaries. The original word was "quacksalver," a traveling empiric who quacked about his salves, and, according to Henley and Farmer, the dramatist Wycherly first shortened this word to "quack." Tho full term, quack doctor, is found at least as early as 1710, when these words were used as a title to the Earl of Rochester's mountebank speech on Tower hill. This witty aud profligate nobleman (he (is always called witty aud profligate) took it into his head to disappear from his friends and appear to the mob on Tower hill as a quack doctor. The speech he made on that occasion has been preserved, and it shows that quack oratory has gained nothing since. It is not all printable In these polit pages, but the following passage will show its character: "The cures I have done are as in- i credible as innumerable. IcnredFrester ! John's godmother of a stupendous dolor in her os sacrum, which had like to cost the good lady the perdition of her huckle bone. I cur'd the Empress of Boolmapo of a cramp she got in her tongue by eating pork aud butter'd parsnips. I cur'd an alderman of Grand Cairo of a scarlet, burning, raging fever, of which he dy'd. I cur d me i,uiperor or Morocco, who lay seven years sick of the plague. I cur'd him in forty-two minutes so that he dane'd the serabrand. flipflap and Somerset to the admiration of his whole court. For my pains he presented me with C.0Yt Hungarian ducats and a Turkish cymeter. Terbum sat sapient!. No cure, no money." I doubt very much whether Sir Edward Clarke was right in saying that the word "quack'' was revived by Carlyle after it had died out So useful a word is not likely to have been dropped, though in Carlyle's vocabulary of denunciation it certainly took on a new importance. It was from a court of law, by the way, that Carlyle obtained the word "gig," which, with ferocious glee, be never ceased to use as a symbol of smug respectability. The trial of Thunell at Hertford assizes for the murder of Mr. Weare produced the following dialogue: "What sort of person was Mr. Weare?" "He was always a most resectable person." "W hat do you mean by respectable''" "He kept a g!g." Carlyle's sj.rduiiio huuir seized on this, and ever after when be was storming at respectabilities tuid unrealities "gics" were not far ftuiu liiy mind. He ee applied the word ":?, rnauity" to those -!ases "f society which lipid the "gic" idal .lolio 'VT 'i f virion Tnrir- . .

SOCIAL To Reach the Society Editor, Call Richmond has the notoriety of nav-.a. ing an unusually large number of clubs for its size. Besides the clubs whose work pertains to music history, art and literature, are a number of charitable organizations, such as the Penny club, Womans Relief Corps and tho Protection Mite club. Through the efforts of the presidents of these clubs many prominent women of the city have been enrolled. During the winter season the 'club world is at its I height. But in the early summer Iroanv of the clubs disband and do not resume work until the last of September or the first of October. The Penny club does a commendable work at Christmas time, when about a hundred children are given a Christmas dinner and by that is meant everything that goes with a Christinas dinner. The following are a few of the many clubs of the city: The Wednesday Duplicate Whist club. Aftermath. Modern Prisoills. Criterion. Merry Time Whist. Spring drove Sewing Circle. Ticknor. Tourists. Audubon. Alice Carey. Dorcas. Daughters of the American Revolution, Happy Hour Circle, Tuesday Euchre club. Domestic Science and the Athenaea. this club being a literary societv of the South Eighth Street Friends' church: Buzzer's Whist club and the Gonzasa club of St. Andrew's church. The Aftermath club was organized in 1S1 and was originally limited to women, belonging to the society of Friends, however its membership list now includes women cf va''ioi's denominations. The Ticknor club is perhaps the next oldest society being organized in 1Sn9 under the direction of Miss Ticknor of Boston, Mass.. who organized literary clubs in various cities in the Fnlted States.
