The placing of the old age system of pensions of companies under state and federal supervision was urged in a resolution. ,One union presented , a resolution asking that no person hereafter be seated as delegate who does not wear at least three garments that bear the union label.

Beverldge, Progressive candidate for governor explain within ten days after the acceptance of the, resolution why he has not forced the Spietz and Worch company, cigarmakers of Detroit, Michigan, from making a cigar which bears his name. The resolution alleges that children are employed in the factory and calls attention to the many condemnations of child labor by Mr. Beverldge. D. H. Hotunger, a delegate of the Carpenter's union from Anderson, interrupted the reading of resolution, saying that the convention could not hear a political resolution. He was overruled by the chair A; McAndrew, president of the To bacco Workers' International union, addressed the convention today urging that union men use tobacco prepared by union men.

The federation took up a collection for the corset workers and pledged itself to use its influence against the purchase of corsets made by the Kalamazoo-con cern. Exchange Compliments. The Indiana State Federation ex tended greetings to the International Cigar Makers' union in session at Baltimore. A telegram extending the same courtesy was received from that body. Resolutions of condolence were adopted by a rising vote on the death of the wife of John HoskinBon, of In dianapolis, a delegate to the state meeting. Hoskinson was called home last evening. After the automobile party which took the delegates through the city this afternoon, the local Trades Council banqueted the delegates at the Coli seum. Henry Schroeder was toastmaster and officers of the federation responded to addresses by Charles Jordan, secretary of the Commercial club, and Mayor Zimmerman. No Prison Report. The prison labor committee appoint ed at the 1911 convention in Eransville will not present a report to the federation. The committee inspects the penal institutions of the state at the call of the state president. There was no occasion to inspect the prisons this year. International Secretary "Here. J. C. Skenp, of Lafayette, interna tional secretary-treasurer attend a meeting of the painters of the city this evening in the hall at the corner of Fifth and Main streets and help reorganize the local union which has dwindled to seven members. Fifteen painters attended the meeting called for last evening by T. N. Taylor, of Terre Haute. It was believed advisable to hold another meeting this evening. It is expected that an organizer will work here for several weeks. REEVE ACQUITTED CHICAGO, Sept. 25. Thomas L. Reeve, charged with attempting to kill Dr. Paul E. Kelly, was acquitted by a jury today. Reeve shot and severely wounded Kelly, charging intimacy between the doctor and Mrs. Reeve. He testified that Dr. Kelly kept him out of his own home through the use of quarantine regulation. while the physician was making love to Mrs. Reeve. Whistles and His Door Opens. There is in London a man who surely must combine the two characteristics of laziness and invention to a remarkable degree. It is his custom to have his breakfast in bed, and, burdened with the trouble of getting out of bed for the purpose of unlocking his bedroom door, he has invented a door which opens to his whistle. He has accomplished this somewhat remarkable feat by means of a simple electromagnet which draws the bolt when a current passes through it, a platinum point and a piano wire attuned to a certain note. When this note or one of its octaves is sonnded the wire vibrates in response, and this vibration brings it in contact with the platinum point. The circuit is thus completed, and a sensitive re'ay is brought into operation. Chicago Tribune. ' Russian Place Names. The Russian has not applied his names without reason. In 1S58, when he founded the capital of the Amoor province, he named it Blagoveschensk. This means "good news" to all save the proofreaders in newspaper offices. Three years later he founded the capital of Prlmorskaya and gave it a name that plainly showed what It was intended to be Vladivostok, "ruler of the east." Near the end of his great transcontinental railway he made a brand new city and called it Dalny, "farthest," a very appropriate name for a place 5.800 miles from the starting point of the road. His Profession. "Sow, Robert, what do yon intend to do when you become a man?" questioned Aunt Ellen as she looked approvingly upon her small nephew.

SHEIIK Oil BIG LIST!

But Will Retain Classes in This City. J. Louis Shenk, the well known concert baritone who has appeared in this city several times 'in recital and who made a tour last Spring with Mary Garden, the famous prima donna, is on the list of a New York manager who has under his management, many of the musical celebrities of the day including Miss Garden, Ysaye, the great violinist, John McConnack, the Irish tenor, Riccardo Martin and oth ers of like caribre. Upon being questioned as to wheth er or not he would spend his entire time doing concert work, Mr. Shenk stated that he would not but that he would maintain his classes in this city throughout the entire season and that his pupils here would not be discom moded in any way. That he did not in tend to give his entire time to plat form work until a season or so later. Mr. Shenk was last season the vocal teacher in Earlham college where he had large and successful classes. He is regarded as one of the most artistic concert Bingers in this country, attracting much attention at the time of his tour with Miss Garden. BOOZE COST CUBS LOSSJTPEHHIIIIT Also One World's Championship, President Murphy Declares. (National News Association) CHICAGO, Sept. 25. In a statement in which he says that drinking virtually cost his team a world's series at one time, and a-league pennant at another, President Charles W. Murphy of the Cubs explains his recent edict against alcohol. "At a National League meeting after the season of 1909 Mr. Dreyfuss was inaugurated by all the League owners for his voctory," Baid Murphy. "After the handshaking was over he turned to me and said: 'Drinking too much booze cost your club the flag.' Then Murphy said he investigated. At the world's series against the Athletics a fielder' misjudged a fly ball and struck twice. "I didn't learn until we traded this player off that he came into the hotel drunk at 3:30 o'clock on the morning of that game," Murphy said. Murphy asserts that he discovered after the suspension of a player in Cincinnati, that certain persons In the land of the Reds were in, the habit of taking his players to roadhouses ostensibly to dine them, and that usual ly the men drank too much. A DUEL OF NOISE PREVAILS IN ZION (National News Association) CHICAGO, Sept. 25. More than a hundred men armed with megaphones filed into the Frank B. Cook factory in Zion City today prepared to renew the duel of noise started yesterday. For some weeks by prayer and song directed from the opposite side of the street from the factory the Zionists have been trying to convert the factory hands who use tobacco and otherwise violate Zion City ethics. Megaphones were brought in yesterday and shrieks and hoots drowned out the noise of the revivalists. TONE UP THE BODY. It Will Help to Fortify Your Systsm Against Serious Illness. There is a saying, much wiser and cheaper than it seems at first glance, to the effect that "you won't get sick if you keep well." It is a half jesting way of setting forth a profound truth. The risks and exposures of life are so many and so insidious that they cannot be escaped. The only hope of passing through them unharmed Is to keep the body so strong and round that It can defend itself against the diseases which are constantly lying in .wait for the unguarded and the weak. It is a mere commonplace to say tnat one man wm tase exactly uie same course and lace precisely tee same nsns tnat anotner man nnas fatal and go entirely unscathed. Sometimes it is a difference born In the two organisms, but often it is the result of different living and different conditions in respect to strength and health. If the body is maintained at a high state of efficiency and if care Is taken to overcome and correct the little disorders and signs of trouble as soon as they appear there is not much danger of a serious illness. The small precautions and the constant toning up of the body by exercise, fresh air, sensible eating and drinking and abstention from all excesses and follies ward off prolonged " and often desperate struggles against disease. It is the principle of the old adage. "A stitch in time saves nine." The same rule applies to the care of health. Cleveland Leader. The House of Lords. The house of lords was composed chiefly of clerics until the time of Edward III. Thus in 1205 the peers were ninety spiritual and forty-nine lay members, including twenty archbishops and bishops, sixty -seven abbots end priors ttnd three masters of orders. Many clerical dignitaries summoned did not attend at Westminster, refusing to recognize the authority of parliament over their own convocations of Canterbury and York. It was partly from this cause that the lords spiritual decreased in number until early in the reign of Edward in. the upper house consisted of eighty-six lay and only forty-five clerical peers, while during Elisabeth's parliament there were forty-three and twenty-eix respectively.

TOO MANY SALOONS MRS, WHOLE SAYS In Report Read Before County Convention of the W. C. T. U. Today.

Tw AAn o,-vfV . - aa gates are attending the annual county convention of the Women's Christian Temperance Union in Richmond, and are holding" their meetings in the First Christian church. The meeting opened this morning at 10 o'clock, and after devotional exercises and the welcoming address the regular county business was begun. Encouraging reports were read from the superintendents of the following departments: Evangelistic, Flower Mission, Franchise, Literature, Laws and Statistics, Moral Education. Medical, Temperance, Peace and Arbitration, Press, Scientific Temperance, and Sabbath Observance. Mrs. M. A. McCurdy, representative from the colored W. C. T. U., gave her report of the work being done in the county by her and her workers among the colored residents of the county. The report was highly cimplimented by the delegates. The statistical report of Mrs. R. W. Randle, Superintendenet of the Law and Statistic department, was as fol lows: Dear Sisters: , Another year has rolled around and we seem to be like the toad at the bottom of the well, climb up two feet and fall back one, but by having the faith and stability of the toad we will get out of the well before the wets are aware of it. We had local option and then slipped back to township unit. Now we are told we will climb back to county local option. We are glad to know that under township unit we have only one wet spot in the county and that is our beautiful city of Richmond. We yet have 53 saloons In Richmond, which is five more than the law allows, and yet no one here meddles with these broken laws. This county by law is allowed 48 saloons and we have 53. The saloons have paid over $13,000 license fees. A very small amount of this goes to the school fund, a very small amount to the misery that is caused by the saloons.' We 'had 828 arrests this year. Three hundred and seventy-two of these were for drunkenness. Because of the saloon and two extra minor things we have two extra patrolmen, one extra patrol driver, making eighteen patrolmen with three , commissioners, two sergeants and one superintendent. The salaries of this force and sundries amount to $19,080.63. Now, dear sisterdoes the saloon pay,? Yet what can we do without a voice In the matter. This county pays an annual tax of $820,000. Approximately one-third of . this is paid by w omen, which is $273,336. We have 3,000 taxpayers in the county and about 6,000 of these are women who have no voice in municipal affairs as to how their tax money Bhall be spent. Let ua wake up and wake up wide and cry aloud for woman suffrage and equal rights with man and never stop climbing until we have state, national and world-wide prohibition against the greatest curse, "the liquor traffic. "R. W. Randle." ATTENTION SIR KNIGHTS! Richmond Commandery, No. 8, K.

The action of having a defendant to a criminal charge appear before a grand jury Is unprecedented, attorneys state. It is likely that the jury will inspect the county jail, insane ward and the Home for Friendless Women this afternoon. It is not known when the jury will inspect the county inarmary buildings. A statement, said to have emanated from one in a position to know, foreshadows the prediction that the grnd jury will uncover no new develop ments in the Saunders murder case. Terry J. Freeman is special prosecutor and John E. Peltz foreman of the jury. A WASHINGTON STORY. General Gassaway Saw the Great Man In a Comic Situation. A correspondent favors us with this unpublished anecdote about George Washington, obtained from a manuscript autobiography: "In the sprlug of 1814 I fell in company with General Louis Gassaway at Annapolis, Md., then clerk of the district court, by whom I was informed that in the Revolutionary war he was an aid-de-camp to Washington. I will let General Gassaway relate the anecdote himself: "In the winter of 1779 and 1780, called the "hard winter," the American army went into winter quarters at Morrlstown, N. J. General Washing ton and his staff had their headquarters at the farmhouse of one Gabriel Ford, a large and convenient establishment. One severely cold night, about 2 o'clock, there was an unusual bustle at headquarters. I lodged below on the first floor and soon learned the cause of the stir. General Washington ran to the head of the stairs in his night dress with a pistol in each hand and called to me to know the cause of the uproar. A soldier on guard, sir, has been frozen nt his post and brought Into quarters." ' ' "See that the poor fellow is well cared for and change the guard every hour." was the humane reply. " To see a man six feet high in his night clothes with a pistol in each hand for a slight alarm of the night guard bordered so near on the ludicrous that 1 could not easily keep my equanimity to answer the great general of the American army with becoming respect' "Army and Navy Journal.

WILSOH'S EI1ENIY BADLY, DEFEATED Governor Shows Himself Strong in Home State. Foss Also a Winner.

(National News Association) TRENTON, Sept. 25 Today's re turns from the state wide primaries in New Jersey show an overwhelming defeat for James Smith. Jr.. in the Democratic primary contest for United States Senator and a victory for Gov. Wilson's choice, ex-Congressman Hughes. The forces behind Wilson rolled up more than 20,000 plurality for Hughes.

Essex county supported Smith by about three to one, but the remaining twenty counties went for Hughes. Hughes ran about seven to one against Smith In Monmouth; 5 to 1 in Mercer and about 3 to 1 in Hudson. Smith received about 23,000 votes and Hughes about 46.000. U. S. Senator Frank O.
