PAPKE-BURKE BOUT STOPPED BY POLICE. New York, July 28.—Inspector Thompson and Capt. Walsh and 50 policemen raided the Coliseum A. C. Monday night and put a stop to tne tights scheduled for the evening. The policemen puichased tickets outside the clubhouse and raided the premises for a violation of Section 458 of the penal code. They arrested Referee Hagley and cleared the big pavilion of the several thousand fight fans who were present to witness the fight between Billy Papke and Sailor Burke. Manager Billy Elmer gave out return checks. He expects to arrange the Papke Burke light for next week. GOLDMAN AND WAGNER FIGHT TO A DRAW. New York, July 28—Young Gold man and Joe Wagner fought six fast rounds to a draw in the star boiA at the Roman A. C. last night. The tight was a slashing one from the first bell, and the boys hammered away at each other for six sessions with honors even. Dick Broad had the better of Fred Lucas in the semi-final. In the preliminaries Battling Schaefer knock ed out Kid Adams in the second round. Young Wagner knocked out Jimmie Dunn in the second and “Young Frenchy” defeated Charley Rose. BOXING MOTES. A1 Kaufman and Jim Flynn have been matched to box in Los Angeles Aug. 26. Young Kloby and Dick Nelson have been billed for a bout at Lawrence on Labor day. At Bangor Thursday night Tommy Rawson will meet Mike Cunningham 1 and Jack Flanagan will box Tommy 1 Bergin. Young Kloby of Lawrence and Fight ing Dick Nelson will meet again ai Lawrence on Labor day in a 12-round bout. Eddie Hanlon did pretty well in hif re-entry into the ring Saturday night He held Johnny Murphy to a draw in 10 rounds at Colnia, Cal. Bert Keyes and Billy Ryan, the Syra cuse light weight, are matched to try 1 conclusions in a six-round bout at a show to he pulled off by the Bijou A i C. of Binghamton. N. Y„ on Aug. C. 1 Owen Moran, the champion English featherweight, says that the talk about the boxers getting big money in Puri.* is all rot. Moran has been over the ground thoroughly and knows wlial l.c is talking about. A return go between Ketchel anil Papke is thought some of in Milwau kee, for two eluhs out there have of fered $20,000 purses. Jimmy Coffrotl says he will give a big purse if Papke 1 agrees to meet Ketchel in the event that he defeats Kelley Friday night. Jack Johnson’-s bout with Ben Tayler will he held at Plymouth, Eng., oi Friday night. It will be a 10-round af fair. Johnson wants to show the Eng lish sports liow he is in action. There is a side bet of $500 and they tight foi tlie gate receipts. Should Charley Griffin defeat Matty Baldwin at New York Friday, lie wil get a chance against the winner oi the Abe Attell-Owen Moran bout ai Colma. Cal., Labor day. Jim Jeffries 1 lias agreed to referee, tins bout beint ids last appearance in the ring in thal capacity. Those two giants, Jim Stewart, whe is quite promising, and Jim Jeffords who rejoices in a name somewhat similar to Big Jeff's, will furnish the main bout of six rounds at the Princess A. C., New York, on Thursday night and Grandfather Charley White wil referee. Boston Journal: If Ketchel, as re 1 ported, hay agreed to meet Young Pe 1 ter Jai kson on Labor day, he has pul 1 himself in a had hole, for he must ac cept a match with Sam Langford oi show that he is an arrant coward Sam will be right on the job after him too. Langford will stay at Northbon until next week, as his bout with Ton; Ross at New York comes Aug. 6. Joe O'Connor, who looks after tin affairs of Stanley Ketchel and who i! regarded as one of the foxiest man ageis in the business, was fooled bj Sylvie Farretti, manager of Hugo Kel I ly, in making the match between Kell; and Ketchel. Kelly can easily mala 154 pounds, but as Feretti claimed h, could only do 158 pounds at the ring side, O’Connor consented. Kelly is at ready down to 157 pounds, i A match will probably be clinchee between Jim Barry, the Chicago heavy weight and big AI Kaufman, the Call I fornia giant, who put Battling John i son away in seven rounds at Los Ange I les, Cal., Friday night. Billy Delaney manager of Kaufman, intends to kee] Ai working, and after the fight las Frday night said he was ready t points to their stand ing record, and the Browns dropped 16 points. John Ganzell says lie has picked up a good pitcher in Gasford of Waterloo, r la, but won't get him until the end of the minor league season. Clarke Griffith says he considers Stone of tlie St. Louis Browns the most valuable player on any team in the American League. Tom Hughes* Monday at St. Louis r was a case of the pitcher going to the well too often. Cantillon has been using Tom much more than a-ny other man. Tom Hughes of the Senators has taken his place in the box in parts of games this year oftener than any other i pilcher in the American League. Harry Bay, Nashville’s left fielder, got four hits in a recent game against Finn's team. '‘Deerfoot'' is still suffer ing from the injury to his knee and has lost most of his speed on the bases and in the field. But he can still hit. f Danzig, the Red Sox first baseman, J who is getting experinece in the 180 r game season of the Portland, Ore., club, is batting better than he ever did in the New Fngland League and is at the top of the flrst-sackers* list in field Ing. Boston Globe: The Boston fans wel come Bowerntan back to the game. Frank was making the Doves, and he has come back to them when they are 1 going right, after making up the hand icap of being set back without him.

Bingham Will Stop Raising Of Funds For Shellard. Inquest Will Be Held Today at Brooklyn City Hall. New York, July 28.-Police Commis sioner Bingham may shift every man In the Hamburg avenue .station, from (.'apt. Wormell to the patrolmen, as a result of the killing of Barbara Iteig of N'o. 332 Maujer street, Brooklyn, uj the shelter-house of living Square park. He intimated as much Ah inlay Commissioner Bingham think; it jH said, iliai tnere was much laxity on tin part of ci rtain men connected with the station when the body was found. (’apt. Wormell, who is 71, .seemed willing to accept the suicide theory without making a strict investigation. Inspector Hussey and ('apt. I'aiev, of police headquarters, went ovi r the aged man’s head in making their in vestigation. The general impis -mu is that Capt. Wormell will he shitted p, a precinct where he will have little to do, if he does not receive a hint to re sign. Commissioner Bingham said Monday tie had heard that a fund was UIng raised to defray the expenses of Police man Shellatd's trial, and would make a thorough investigation, tl was said that every man at the Hamburg ave nue had been asked to contribute j; and the men of other precincts Au cents apiece, which would net about Jaooo. Gen. Bingham will stop this. It is said that Capt. Wormell has been ordered to prefer charges against I-ieut. Ounce, who had the desk at the time the body was found, on Hie ground that tie was "dilatory in mak ing a report of the park mystery.” Bunee has been long in the department and has always been considered a care ful policeman. It spector Hussey said yesterday there were no new developments in the case. Tin- inquest will probably be held tomorrow night in the Municipal build ing. Brooklyn. A score or more of po licemen, tile mother and brother of the dead woman and other persons con nected in some manner with the case will be witnesses. Shellard will he present. AVhether or not he will take tile stand lias not been disclosed. The dead woman’s waist and skirt which sin wore at the time she was found in the shelter house will in all likelihood be i>ut in evidence by the prosecution in an effort to show that the garments were torn during a struggle between the dea l woman and her alleged aiur derer. The waist and skirt arc at pres ent in the possession of ('apt. Wormell. There was talk yesterday to the ef fect that (he woman committed suicide after a quarrel with Shellard, who may have tauntingly dared her to kill her self. the gossips have it.

Fail Tent of the Speech of Republican Presidential Candidate, Delivered Yesterday to the Natienal Convention Committee. Following la the full text of William H. Taft’s address in accepting the Re publican nomination for President, which was tendered him yesterday at hla home in Cincinnati, Ohio: 8enator Warner and Gentlemen of tin Committee: I am deeply sensible of the honor which the Republican National Con vention has conferred on me in the nomination which you formally tender. I accept it with full appreciation of the responsibility it imposes. Republican Strength in Maintenance of Roosevelt Policies. Gentlemen, the strength of the Re publican cause in the campaign at hand la In the fart that we represent the policies essential to the reform of known abuses, to the continuance of liberty and true prosperity, and that we are determined, as our platform unequivocally declares, to maintain them and carry them on. For more than ten years .this country passed through an epoch of material develop ment far beyond any that ever occur red In the world before. In its course, certain evils crept in Some prominent and Influential members e.f the com munity, spurred by financial success and’ In their hurry for greater wealth, been me unmindful of the common rules of business honesty and fidelity and of the limitations imposed by law upon their action. This became known. The revelations of the breaches of trust. the disclosures as to rebates and dis criminations by railways, tin- aeetimu latlng evidence of the violation of the anti-trust law by a number of cor _ porations, the overissue of stocks and bonds on Interstate railways for the unlawful enriching of directors and for the purpose of concentrating control of railways In one management, all quickened the conscience of the peo ple. and brought on n moral awaken ing among them that boded well for the future of the country. What Roosevelt Has Done. The man who formulated the expres sion of the popular conscience and who led the movement for practical reform was Theodore Roosevelt. He laid down the doctrine that the rich vio lator of the law should be as amen able to restraint and punishment as the offender without wealth and with out influence, and he proceeded by recommending legislation and directing •xecutlve action to make that princi ple good in actual performance. Ho secured the passage of the so-called rate bill, designed more effectively to restrain excessive and tlx reasonable cates, and to punish secret rebates and discriminations which had been gen eral In,the practice of the railroads, and which had done much to enable unlawful trusts to drive out of busi ness their competitors. It secured much closer supervision of railway transactions and brought within the OperAUon of the same statute express companies. Bleeping car companies, last freight and refrigerator lines, ter minal railroads and pipe lines, and for bade in future the combination of the transportation and, shipping business ■^butter one control in order to avoid undue discrimination. ftdatfeUt Roosevelt directed suits to ^fceWeugtrt and-prosecutions to be in und^thei ahtbftust iaw. to St* Jhfovlsloife hgtfitist the most 4* tbe IndWtrWl corporations, lie pressed tn passage the pure food laiv and the meat inspection law in the i interest of the health of the public, i clean business methods and «r»r j nu is tuoo liiu; loin/ >rfj ilti.'. -.idi .'»,t -...sir i> m-ftniitso i nission in supervising and regulating In* operation of the railroads of this onntry lias grown sp heavy that it Is ilterly impossible for that tribunal to lour and dispose, in any reasonable ime, of ;he many complaints, queries ind issues that are hrought before it or decision. It ought to be relieved if its jurisdiction as an executive, di viding hoily, and its functions should >e limited to the quasi-judicial inves igation of complaints by individuals ind by a department of the Govern nent c•barged with the executive busl icss of supervising the operation of ■ailways.

Constructive Work of Next Adminis tration to Organize Subordinate and Ancillary Machinery to Main tain Standards on One Hand, and Not to Interfere With Business on the Other. The field covered by the industrial 'oinbinations and by the railroads is y the Commission. This has been trongly recommended by President tooseve.lt anil, Will make for the bene lt of the busine$s..i J vifsa -nil in is, it. iviiuiii j Physical Valuation of Railways. Some of the suggestions of the Democratic platform relate really to this subordinate and ancillary machinery to which I have referred. Take for Instance the so-called “physical valuation of railways,” It is clear that the sum of all rates or receipts of a railway, less proper ex penses, should be limited to a fair profit upon the reasonable value of its property, and that if the sum exceed this measure, it ought to be reduced. The difficulty in enforcing the principle is in ascertaining what is the reasonable value of the Company's property, and in fixing what is a fair profit. It is clear that ffie physical value of a railroad and Its plant is an element to be given weight in determining its full value; but as President Roosevelt in liis Indian apolis speech and the Supreme Court have in effect pointed out, the value of the railroad as a going concern, in cluding its good will, due to efficiency of service and many other circum stances, may be much greater than the value of its tangible property, .and it is the former that measures the in vestment on which a fair profit must be allowed. Then, too, the question what is a fair profit is one involving not only the rate of interest usually earned on normally safe investments, but also a suffieient allowance to make up for the risk of loss both of capital and interest in the original outlay. These considerations will have justified the company in impos ing charges high enough to secure a fair income on the enterprise as a whole. The securities at market prices will have passed into the hands of subsequent purchasers from the original investors. Such circum stances should properly affect the decision of the tribunal engaged in determining whether the totality of rates charged is reasonable °c ex cessive. To ignore them might .-o seriously and unjustly impair settled values as to destroy all hope of re storing confidence and forever to end the inducement for investment in new railroad construction which, in re turning prosperous times, is sure to be essential to our material progress. As Mr. Roosevelt has said in speaking of this very subject: "The effect of such valuation and supervision of securities can not be retroactive. Existing securities should be tested by laws in existence at the time of their issue. This Na tion would no more injure securities which have become an importnat part of the National wealth than it would consider a proposition to repudiate the National debt.” The question of rates and the treat ment of railways is one that has two sides. The shippers are certainly en titled to reasonable rates; but less is m injustice to the carriers. Good busi s ior the railroads is essential to general prosperity. Injustice to them is not alone injustice to stockholders and capitalists, whose further invest ments may be necessary for the good of the whole country, but it directly af fects and reduces the wages of rail way employees, and indeed may de prive them of their places entirely. From what has been said, the proper conclusion would seem to be that in attempting to determine whether the entire schedule of rates of a railway is excessive, the physical valuation of the road is a relevant and important but not necessarily a controlling fac tor. Physical Valuation Properly Used Will Not Generally Impair Securities. I am confident that the fixing of rates on the prineiples suggested above would not materially impair the pres ent market values,of railroad securi ties in most cases, for I believe that the normal increase in the value of railroad properties, especially in their terminals, will more than make up for the possible overcapitalization in earlier years. In some cases doubtless it will be found that overcapitalization is made an excuse for excessive rates, and then they should be reduced; but the consensus of opinion seems to be that the railroad rates generally in this country are reasonably low. This is why, doubtless, the complaints filed with the Interstate Commerce Com mission against excessive rates are so few as compared with those against unlawful discrimination in rates be tween shippers and between places. Of course, in the determination of the question whether discrimination is un lawful or not, the physical valuation of the whole road is of little weight. Conclusion That There Should Be Physical Valuation. I have discussed this, with some de gree of detail, merely to point out that the valuation by the Interstate Com merce Commission of the tangible property of a railroad is proper and may from time to time be necessary in settling certain issues which may come before them, and that no evil or injustice can come from valuation in such cases, if it be understood that the result is to be used for a just pur pose, and the right to a fair profit un der all the circumstances of the in vestment is recognized. The Inter state Commerce Commission has now the power to ascertain the value of the physical railroad property, if neces sary, in determining the reasonable ness of rates. If the machinery for doing so is not adequate, as is proba ble, it should be made so. The Republican platform recom mends legislation forbidding the issue in the future of interstate railway stocks and bonds without Federal au thority. It may occur in such cases that the full value of the railway, and, as an element thereof, the value of the tangible property of the railway, would Tte a relevant and important factor In assisting the proper authority to determine whether the stocks and bonds to be issued were to have proper security behind them, and in such case, therefore, there should be the right and machinery to make a valuation of the physical property. National Control of Interstate Com merce Corporation. Another suggestion in respect to subordinate and ancillary machinery necessary to carry out Republican policies is that of the incorporation under National law or the licensing by National license or enforced registry 5f companies engaged in interstate trade. The fact is that nearly all cor porations doing a commercial business are engaged In Interstate commerce and if they all were required to take out a Federal license or a Federal charter, the burden upon the interstate busi ness of the country would become in tolerable.' -fc uvgu thei bb. Hi-Vt Should Be Limited to Peroen* age by Classification. It is necessary, therefore, to devise some means for classifying and Insur ing Federal supervision of sueli cor porations as have the power and temptation to effect restraints of in terstate trade and monopolies. Such eorporations constitute a very small percentage of all engaged in interstate business. Mr. Roosevelt’s Proposed Classifi cation. With such classification in view, Mr. Roosevelt recommended an amendment to the anti-trust law, known as the Hepburn bill, which provided for vol untary classification, and created a stioiig e otive therefor by granting Immunity from prosecution for reason atle restraints of interstate trade to all corporations which would register an 1 submit themselves to the publicity trgulatio is of the Department of Com mon 2 and Labor. The Democratic Proposed Classifica tion. The Democratic platform suggests a requirement that corporations in interstate trade having control of 25 per cent, of the products in whioh they deal shall take out a Federal license. This classification would probably include a groat many small corporations engaged in the manufac ture of special articles, or commodi ties whose total value is so incon siderable that they are not really within the purview or real evil of the anti-trust law. it is not now necessary, however, to discuss the rdaltive merit of such propositions, but it is enough merely to affirm the necessity for some method by which greater executive supervision can be given to the Federal Government over those busi nesses in which there is a temptation to violations of the anti-trust law. Construction of Anti-Trust Law.— Possible Necessity for Amendment. The possible operation of the anti trust law under existing rulings of the Supreme Court lias given rise to suggestions for its necessary amend ment to prevent its application to cases which it is believed were never in tile contempla tion of tile farmers of the statute. Take two instances: A merchant or manufacturer engaged in a legitimate business that covers certain States, wishes to sell his business and his good will, and so in the terms of the sale obligates himself to the purchaser not to go into the same business in those States. Such a restraint of trade lias always been enforced at common law. Again, the employees of an interstate railway combine and enter upon a peaceable and lawful strike to secure better wages. At common law this was not a restraint of trade or commerce or a violation of the rights of the company or of the public. Neither case ought to be made a violation of the anti-trust law. My own impression is that the Supreme Court would hold that neither of these instances are within its inhibition, but, if they are to be so regarded, general legislation amending the law is necessary. Democratic Plank to Limit Corpora tions to Ownership of 50 Per Cent, of Plant and Product Faulty. The suggestion of the Democratic platform that trusts be ended by for bidding corporations to hold more than 50 per cent, of the plant in any line of manufacture is made without regard to the possibility of enforce ment or tile real evil in trusts. A corporation controlliing 45 or 50 per cent, of the products may be well known methods frequently effect monopoly and stamp out competition in a part of the country as completely as if it controlled 60 or 70 per cent, thereof. Compulsory Sale of Products at Fixed Price Impractical. The proposal to compel every cor poration to sell its commodities at the same price the country over, allowing for transportation, is utterly im practicable. If it can be shown that in order to drive out competition, a competitors, at a low and unprofit plant producing an article is selling in one part of the country, where it has competitors, at a low and unprofit able price, and in another part of the country, where it has none, at an ex orbitant price, this is evidence that it is attempting an unlawful monopoly, and justifies conviction under the anti-trust law; but the proposal to supervise the business of corporations in such a way as to fix the price of commodities and compel the sale at such price is as absurd and socialistic a plank as was ever inserted in a Democratic political platform. Difference Between Republican and Democratic Policies and Platforms: Former Progressive and Regulative; Latter Radical and Destructive. The chief difference between the Republican and the Democratic plat forms is the difference which has heretofore been seen between the policies of Mr. Roosevelt and those which have been advocated by the Democratic candidate, Mr. Bryan. Mr. Roosevelt's policies have been progressive and regulative; Mr. Bryan's destructive. Mr. Roosevelt lias favored regulation of the business in which evils have grown up so as to stamp nut the evils and permit the business to continue. The tendency of Mr. Bryan’s proposals have generally been destructive of the business with respect to which he Is demanding reform. Mr. Roosevelt would compel the trusts to conduct their business in a lawful manner and secure the benefits of their operation and the maintenance of the prosperity of the country of which they are an Important part; while Mr. Bryan would extirpate and destroy the entire business in order to stamp out the evils which they have practiced. Advantage of Combination of Capital. The combination of capital in large plants to manufacture goods with the greatest economy is just as neces sary as the assembling of the parts of a machine to the economical and more rapid manufacture of what in old time* was made by hand. The Government should not interfere with one any more than the other, when such aggregations of capital are legitimate and are properly controlled for they are then the natural results of modern enterprise and are bene ficial to the public. In the proper operation of competition the public will soon share with the manufacturer the advantage in ewwiomy of opeorar tion and lower ttricea. .,gu»«i ,i,B -if' soil it..ijatcrio'.- a bus t tr.l *n I ■.What- la lawful Trust? When, however, such combinations are not based on any economic prin ciple but are made merely for the pur pose? of controlling the market, to maintain or raise prices, restrict out put and drive out competitors, the pub lic derives no benefit and we have a monopoly. There must be some use by the company of the comparatively great size of its capital and plant and extent of its output, either to coerce persons to buy or it rather than of some competitor or to coerce those who would 'compete with it to give up their business. There must usually, hi other words, be shown an element of duress in the conduct of its business toward (he customers in the trade and Ms competitors before mere aggrega tion of capital or plant-becomes an un lawful monopoly. It is perfectly con ceivable that in the interest of economy oi production a great number of plants may be legitimately assembled under the ownership of one corporation. It is important, therefore, that such large aggregations of capital and combina tion should be controlled so licit the public may have the advantage of rea sonable prices and that the avenues of enterprise may be kept open to the in dividual and the smaller corporation wishing to engage in business. Mere Aggregation of Capital Not a Violation of Anti-Trust Law. In a country like this, where, in good times, there is an enormous floating capital awaiting investiment, the period before which effective competition, by construction of new plants, can be In troduced into any business, is compara tively short, rarely exceeding a year, and is usually even less than that, hx istenee of actual plant is not, there fore, necessary to potential compelion. Many enterprises have been organized on the theory that mere aggregation or all, or nearly all, existing plants in a line cf manufacture, without regard to economy of production, destroys com petition. They have, most of them, gone into bankruptcy. Competion in a profitable business will not be affected by t be mere aggregation of many ex isting plants under one company, unless the company thereby effects great economy, thi* benefit of which it shares with the public, or takes some illegal method to avoid competition and to perpetuate a bold on the business. Proper Treatment of Trusts. Unlawful trusts should be restrained with all the efficiency of injunctive process, and the persons engaged in maintaining them should be punished with all the severity of criminal prose cution. in order that the methods pur sued in the operation of their business shall be brought within the law. To destroy them and to eliminate the wealth they represent from the produc ing capital of the country would entail enormous loss, and would throw out of employment myriads of workingmen and workingwomcn. Such a result is wholly unnecessary to the accomplish ment of tlie needed reform, and will inflict upon the innocent far greater punishment Ilian upon the guilty. Destructive Policy of Democratic Platform. Tnc Democratic platform does not propose to destroy the plants of the trusts physically, but it proposes to do tlie same tiling in a different way. The business of tins country is largely de pendent on a protective system of tar iffs. The business done by many of the so called "trusts" is protected with the other businesses of the country. The Democratic platform proposes to take off tlie tariff in all articles coming into competition with those produced by the so called "trusts,” and to put them on tlie free list. If such a course would be utterly destructive of their business, as is intended, it would not only de stroy the trusts, but all of tln-ir smaller competitors. The ruthless and imprac ticable character of the proposition grows plainer as its effects upon the whole community are realized. Effect of Democratic Plans on Business. To take the course suggested l>y the Democratic platform in these mat tors Is to involve the entire community, inno cent as it is, in the punishment of the guilty, while our policy is to stamp out the s-pecifie evil. This difference between the policies of the two great parties is of especial importance In view of the present condition of busi ness. After ten years of the most re markable material development and prosperity, there came a financial strin gency, a panic and an induslritl de pression. This was brought about not only by the enormous expansion of business plants and business invest ments which could not be readily con verted, but also by the waste of capital, in extravagance of living, in wars and other catastrophies. The free converti ble capital was exhausted. In addition to this, the confidence of the lending public in Kurope and in this country had been affected by the reveltions of irregularity, breaches of trust, over issues of stock, violations of law, and lack of rigid State or national supervi sion in the management of our largest corporations. Investors withheld what loanable capital remained available. It became impossible for the soundest railroads and other enterprises to bor row money enough for new construc tion or reconstruction. Will Delay Restoration of Prosperity. Gradually business is acquiring a healthier time. Gradually all wealth which was hoarded is coming out to be used. Confidence in security of busi ness investiments is a plant of slow growth and is absolutely necessary In order that our factories may all open again, in order that our unemployed may becoine employed, and in order that we may again have the prosperity which blessed us for ten years. The identity of the interests of the capita list, the farmer, the business man and the wage earner in the security and profit of investments cannot lie too greatly emphasized. X submit to those most interested, to wage earners, to farmers and to business men, whether the introduction into power of the Democratic party, with Mr. Ttr.van at Its head, and with the business des struction that it openly advocates as a remedy for present evils, will bring about the needed confidence for the, restoration of prosperity. Republican Doctrine of Protection. The Republican doctrine of protec tion, as definitely announced by the Republican convention of this year and" by previous conventions, is that a tariff shall be imposed on all imported products, whether of the factory, farm or mftie, sufficiently great to equal the difference betwfim the cost of pro duction abroad anti at home, arid that this difference should-, of course, in O 1 1 1 f 1 Cl 4 Vi W.V. iak il. it elude theVdi Wi-d V-ivi fair r -*w| •r wnm jiUJiiLJJii-iimi wbhh i ,hhi^„. wages i»ai(l abroad an^ ynty-aee a r'a. -finable prolit to the American) pryee, as in deed are the oilier terms of the em ployment. Advantage of Union. To give to employees their proper position in such a controversy, to en able them to maintain themselves against employers having great capi tal, they may well unite, because in union there is strength and without it each individual laborer and em ployee would he helpless. The promo tion of industrial peace through the instrumentality of the trade agree ment is often one of the results of such union when intelligently conducted. Other Labor. There is a large body of laborers, however, skilled and unskilled, "1,0 arc not organized into unions. Their rights befor/e the law are exactly the same as those of the union men. t*"1 are to be protected with the same care and watchfulness. Rights of Labor. In order to induce their employer In to a compliance with their request h>r changed terms of employment, work men have the right to strike In a body.

Far rington of this city at Hammond's grove, Cobbosseecontee, is a pine tree that is a puzzle to all who have seen it, and whether it is bearing a charmed life or assisted to live by some means not easily understood is the query. The pine several years ago, when about five inches in diameter, was "slivered” by someone, the l.ark being entirely re moved from nine inches of the body. The late Col. R. W. Soule owned the land then and he put on some suit stance to coat it over and see if it would not live. This soon dried off and left the place where the bark had been removed dead and dry, and so it is today, not a bit of living bark or tissue can ho found upon the girdled area. The tree however has continued to live and is living now, anti has a fairly good top for the shaded place where it stands. The dead port of the tree is four feet from the ground, where it is 13',4 inches in circumference. It measures IS inches at the base, lfi In ches just below the dead place, and from 22 to 22*4 inches the next four feet above the dead section. Thus it will he seen that it Is much larger above this dry section. How and what makes it live is the mooted question. .'U ftiJc■ m-i.fr hTiiin-1.: i.-‘>i. wtif Jfit'bi -To tone down, ,r*iinfer^’«rti^'ti fet .use Safin skin powder. 4 tints. Oidy 2!

Bailey Stock Co. re peated Tuesday its great success of Monday evening, presenting before a large audience, the delightful comedy, "The Man from Mexico." From the rising of the curtain to its final fall, the audience was kept in one con tinuous uproar, humorous situations and clever acting occurring rapidly. The main thread of the plot is that young Fitzhew is obliged to spend 30 days in jail and in order to hide this fact from his wife, states to her that he is going for a 30-days trip to Mexico. His final return home and his vain attempts to conceal his term in jail, lead to innumerable humorous situations. The parts were as usual, exception ally well taken, every member of the cast showing skilful interpretations of their respective parts while the whole play was entered into with marked zest. Oliver D. Bailey in the leading role of Benjamin Fitzhew treated the audience with perhaps the best comedy acting of the season, while Miss Irv ing, as Clementina Fitzhew, was ex ceptionally good. Other clever work worthy of special mention, was done by Charles Newman, Leo M. Kantor, Albert S. Vees, and Lillian Knox.'
