THIRTY THOUSAND IN TENTS Arrangements in Progress for the Ohris- tian Endeavor Convention. Additional Committees Announced— Meeting Last Night of the Com- mittee of 96. At its headquarters in the Lenman build- ing the committee of '96 of the District Christian Endeavor Union held its regular weekly meeting yesterday afternoon. Let- ters from local societies and churches offer- ing the use of their church buildings for headquarters continue to come in on the committee, and yesterday a request from the Vermont Avenue Christian Society was received asking that the Indiana state dele- gation be assigned to their church. This request was granted. W. A. H. Church, chairman of the hall committee, was di- rected to make a contract with Walter C. Martin of Boston, who agrees to furnish one tent with a seating capacity of 10,000 per- sons for $2,375. This tent, together with two similar ores which were used in Boston last year, each of which can seat 10,000 People, and ten or more of the largest churches in the city will be used for meet- ing places during the convention. A large number of routine matters 2 discussed, and the following appointments were made upon the auxiliary committees for the convention: Headquarters Decided Upo: Headquarters for the officers of the Unit- ed Society of Christian Endeaver during the convertion to be held in this city next July have been secured at the Ebbitt House by the local committee of ’96.

How Sick People May Save Their Energy. It fs as hard work “for some people to digest their dinner as it is for a normal man to walk “After dinner rest a while.” This is an old saying. It means that if after eating a heavy meal yeu try to do hard work you will exhaust all your energy. There will be none left for your stomach, Your sto needs energy to work just as your leg or arm do i people want They seldom have enough for thelr stom: Their digestion is out of order and they want to know the reason. It’s simple enough as we have told it. What they ought to do is to save thelr stomachs from hard work until it ts capable of doing it, just st their tired backs by Iying down. ean do by using artificially digested Digestive Cordial contains such food.

From the San Francisco Call. “My first case,” said a well-known attor- ney, “was the defense of a negro preacher in Missouri, who had been arrested for stealing wood from a railroad company. A great deal of fuel had been lost from time to time, so when the culprit was ar- rested the company was so anxious to make an example of him that it employed special counsel and prosectted the case vigorously. The evidence against the old man was convincing. He nad been seen sneaking around the wWoodpile and was ar- rested while carrying off a loa: “I had subpoenaed about twenty well- known business men to testify to the previous good character of the defendant. When the prosecution's case was closed I one on the stand and asked Do you know the defendant's reputa- tion for honesty and integrity?’ “*Yes,’ was the arswer. “What is it-good or bad?’ “‘Bad. He will steal anything he can hands on.’ “A titter ran through the court room. It asn't the a er I had expected, but it was too lata, so I put on a bold front and called another. He testified as the other witness had, and the prosecuting attorne rubbed nis hands with satisfaction. Be- fore I got through with my witnesses I proved that my client was a most notorious thief, who had never known to neglect an opportunity to steal something, no mat- ter how trifling it might be. Then I called a couple of ph an3, proved the existence of mental disorder known as klento- va some authorities to show that it was a good defense if proven, and sub- mitted my case. The old preacher was 2 quitted, and thereafter stole with impunit for he considered his acquittal in the face of facts equivalent to a license to steal.” res A BULLET IN HIS BRAIN. A Would-Be Suicide Carried It for Ten Years. From the San Francisco Bulletin. The autopsy on the remains of Hermann Ploesckke, wHo died at the German Hos- pital Thursday, brought to light the re- markable circumstance that ke had live for ten years with a bullet in his brain. The ball was encysted beneath the left temple, and appeared to trouble Ploeschke very little. Ploeschke was at one time a succe business man, but ten years ago becar ill, neglected his business, anvbhecoming re- duced in cir-umstances d to commit suicide. He took a thir ight-caiiber re- volver, placed it to his right temple and fired. Ploeschke was unconscious for , and for weeks he hovered betwee life and death. The surgeons for the bullet, and it was sup sile had deflected dow asi througa the neck and lodging in the mus- cles of th oulder.

He ap ne of” them He told them a could bullet was In his brain and that it felt at times as if some one was squeezing his head in a vice. The doctors laughed at him, and, as Ploeschke numbergl among his ‘many weaknesses an inordinate love for strong stimulants, his story was deemed a crea- from an organic disezse and he w to the German Hospital by Hi course of the bullet fired into h. years ago. The brain was removed, and over the left temple a cyst was f This, on being cut open, brought to Ii the ‘bullet which Ploeschke had fi maintained pressed upon his brain. The ball on entering the right temple passed through the right eye, through the upper nasal bones, thence it plowed its way beneath the left eye. Here it was de- flected upward, locating above the left temple. How Ploeschke ever survived the wound is one of these mysteries which de- fies the best efforts of the surgeons to ex- plain sati .ctorily. Yet he lived ten ye: and aside from the pains its pr casioned at times, was none the wo: the affair. ——— A Thrifty Maine Woman. From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal Talk about nerve! A Caribou dentist tells the Journal that a woman came to his rooms one day lately, and, showing him an aching tooth, asked if it would come out hard. The dentist, after an in- spection, ‘replied that it would be an easy tooth to pull; whereupon the sufferer re- marked: “Wal, I'm glad. A_ blacksmith promised to pull the tooth with a pair of pinchers, and I guess I'll let him do the job, if the tooth is comin’ easy.” And away she went, leaving an astonished and bewildered dentist to gaze at her in won- der as she started for the blacksmith’s shop. see Richard C.

The fifteenth anipafconvention of the American Federation .of Labor began in Madis: Square Gaf@e#! New York, yester- day. Delegates weve present from all over the United States, Canada and Great Brit- ain. President McBride presided, and in- troduced J. W. Sullivan of Typoxrapaical Union, No. 6, who delivered the address of welcome. The reports of the president, secretary and treasurer were read and re- ferred to the proper committees. President McBride’s Remarks. President McBride occupied the attention of the delegates for a half hour or more with the reading of his annual address. He said in part: “The greatest crime of the nineteenth century and the moet remark- able ever perpetrated upon our people was that committed by the present national ad- ministration, in adding to the bonded in- debtedness of our country during a time of peace. The attempt to maintain a gold reserve of $100,000,000 by a contract such as was wade with fhe Belmont-Morgan syndicate was farcical, to say the least, but a farce only in so far as it was intended to blind the people to the fact that they were being robbed, deliberately and un- mercifully, in the interests of eastern bank- ers and bondholders, whose only desire has been, and now is, the perpetuation of a system of bonded indebtedness of part of the government.” The Cuban situation also came in for a word, concerning which he said: “The Cuban revolt is in itself deserving of a consideration and recognition at our hands, but when we remember that the Spanish dynasty has always evidenced hos- tility to republican governments, even in the case of this country, we should be all the more determined to insist upon fair treatment, and I trust ere this convention adjourns you will have adopted resolutions Fetitioning Congress to at least recognize Cubans as belligerents.” In conclusion, President McBride added: “The Constitution of the national and the many state governments stands today as a monument to the past greatness and grandness of our country. These consti- tutions were made and adopted for the pur- pose of protecting men and methods now dead. “They are not suited for the changed industrial conditions and improved mental status of the present time, hence, if the modern environments of labor are to be ameliorated by legislation in keeping with the progress of our people, !t might be well to turn our attention to the cutting away of these constitutional barriers which invali- date legislation enacted in the people's in- terests.”” The chairman then introduced John S$ ton, who spoke in part as follows: “The Federation of Labor is a power in the United States. It is made up of men, who make all things and are the natural owners thereof. 1 take much pleasure-in seeing the English representatives ‘ere. I hope that this association will send delegates to all parts of the earth, as well as have for- eign delegates present at your convencions. There is much to learn from the English trade associations. The union nas dcne great things, having| advanced the price of in- labor and secured recognition ‘n parliament. “The largest thing-in organized labor is the act and fact of organizati. It has grown from nothing, being in its early days kicked and sneered at. By hard work it has won the right of existence, and you must maintain it under penalty of death. Fifty years ago there was little nesd of or- ganization, for there was work for all. The times, however, have changed. Another thing is the right to strike against wrong. It used to be more unlawful to strike than Since that infamous Judge Weods ed the bench and the government sent ia to Chicago there is a chaage. “If there were no labor organizations wages would be half, hours half as lonz again, and capital would rule. “How can you meet the questions of the changed times? How can you combat the law? If you pass resolutions it will ram them down your throats. ‘There are many other questions, such as the big monopolies. They will have to be met by such a bedy as thi: Father Dueey was then introduced and said: “I am here because the pope wants me to be, if some of you do not. In 1891 an encyclical was issued by the pope in regard to labor, and it is my duty as a minister to such matters arise. Wh Scripture, and said that no murderer shail enter the kingdom of heaven, and drew as a comparison the oppression of the laborer, who is often killed by want, not being abie to secure employment. sald he, continuing, and pile up fortunes with the blood-money of the poor. There 1s enough here for all, and it should he so far allowed that no man need appeal for have proper food. It remains for the nvn- laters to teach the requiremenis of man- kind.” Father Ducey said that the disruption of the Knights of Labor was caused i wrongful use of a statemeat issued by Cardinal Gibbons. It was to cause a feel- ing between the Catholics and Protestants, and_succeeded. Adjournment was then taken until this morning ee Mystery Story Final Chapter.

ADULTERATIONS OF FOOD. A Leng List of Foods That Are Frauds. From the New York Post. A recent report of Dairy and Food Com- missicner Wells of Pennsylvania names so many food products which are adulterated as to raise a query as to what is not adul- terated. Among the many impure things sold are allspice, which often is mainly composed of ground and roasted cocoanut shells; baking powder; beef, wine and iron, prepared as a tonic; butter, buckwheat flour, candy, catsup, cider, cheese, cinna- mon, cloves—the latter made almost en- tirely from ground cocoanut shells, the oder and taste of clcves being scarcely per- ceptible—coffee—consicting chiefly. of coffee screenings or damaged coffee, but sold at high price as a pure article; fresh “Java, made from wreat and barley hulls, roasted with sugar ard containing no coffee; cod- fish, not codfish at all—merely cheap dried fish; cream of tartar adulterated with flour; flaxseed, adulterated with starch; fruit “butters,” such as apple but- ter, peach butter, ete., very seldom pure, being adulterated with starch waste and salycilic acid; the same is true of grated pit eapple; ginger, adulterated with ash, rice hulls, rice flour and cayenne pepper; lard; maple sirup, made trom commercial glu- cose thinned with about 20 per cent of -wa- ter; mixed spices, orange juice, lemon oil, lemon phosphate, molasses, mustard, olive cil, pepper, vinegar, vanilla extract, all Kinds of preserves, extract of strawberries and tea. To add to the deception a few apple seeds are scattered through the so-called fruit jams, or timothy or other seeds are added to the mixture to represent raspberry, strawberry, etc. The production of arti- ficial colors is particularly common in con- fections. Indigo, tumeric, annatto, log- wood and cochineal are used in great quan- tities, and are probably not harmful; ar- senic, copper aid leads are very deleteri- ous, tut are rot now used as much as in fermer times, before sanitary officials made such persistent attacks on them. Milk and milk products are often colored. Annatto is very commonly used by dairymen to give | a rich yellow coler. In itself annatto is probably harmless, but it produces decep- ego reseeseegees a Se aa 15 Cold-Rolled Steel and ialleable Iron Cooking Ranges Are today the standard of all cooking ranges; imitators, so far, have made only poor imitations. These imitation ranges are made wholly of cast iron (ex- cept oven and body), and are subject to the breakage and other imperfections of the cast-iron stove. (The Majestic fills absolutely the demand for a higher type of cooking apparatus.) Sy The MAJESTIC RANGE is the cooking apparatus that is revolutionizing the stove trade of this country.

Healthy, happy children are those whose mothers have been, and are, healthy. The best intentioned woman in the world will fall shoft of her duty to her children if she is worried and wearied with weakness and sickness. Most all irritable women are sick women. Most all melancholy, listless, languid women are sick women. Every woman who will take the trouble to notice, will find that at certain fixed periods she is nervous, cross, irritable and despondent. Any irregularity makes the conditions worse. Even a well woman is less amiable than usual at these times. What can be expected from a sick worman? When every movement is a dreary drag, when the nerves are all on edge in sym- pathy with the particular ones affected— when it seems that death were very much referable to living—what can a woman do For ber children then?
