An epidemic of a serious character is prevailing amorg the horses !n various sections of Maryland. Already a thousand have died from the disease, and it is rapidly Spreading. It is more serious upon the eastern shore. In Anne Arundel county fifty-eight cases have proved fatal. As yet the nature of the disease is not known. State Veterinarian A. W. Clem- } ents is of the opinion that the disease re- sults from the horses eating poisonous plants, and urges as an argument in favor ef his theory that all the horses that have died were allowed to roam in pasture. He has made post-mortem exam:nations in leveral cases and finds an inflamed and rongested condition of the stomach. Dr. Clements expresses his opinion that if speedy measures are not taken to prevent the disease it will undoubtedly spread over the whole state. Se Woman's National Caban League.

CHICAGO CONVENTIO! Its. Objects Inimical to the Cause of Labor. THE. ROUTINE BUSINESS The American Federation of Labor, through its general executive council, which has been in session here since Monday, as heretofore stated in The Star, last night reached a conclusion that it would be in- advisable for the organization which it represents to take part in the .proposcd labor convention, which has been called to meet in Chicago next Monday, and» which, in reality, it was stated, will simply be an adjourned meeting of the recent St. Louis convention. The latter,.a prominent labor leader said, was a conglomeration of all issues, from socialism to anarchism, and @id not represent the honest trade union movement of the country. It represented, he said, those elements which take advantage of occasions such as astrike to air their peculiar theories, with- out regard to the interests of the wage workers of the country. While, he continued, the trade unionists express substantial ‘sympathy by con- tributing to the aid of the destitute miners, these people indulge in the promulgation of resolutions and incendiary declamations, and hirder to an extent the progress of legitimate trades organization. The address of the council on the subject of the Chicago convention was probably the most important action taken during the entire meeting, and before adjourning for the day the council adopted an address to the trade unions of the country, explain- ing their reasons for the course taken in the matter by them. Text of the Address. The full text of the address is as follows: A call has gone forth to the trade unions and public for a labor convention in Chi- cago next Monday. The ostensible objects are to take measures in aid of the miners on strike, and to offset the sweeping powers of the courts in granting injunctions in de- fiance of popular rights during labor dis- putes. - These objects are very commendable, and worthy the active practical support of every trade unionist and of every lover of his fellow man. But conditions have some- what changed since that convention was agreed upon. This week fully 75,000 min- ers have gone to work on terms fixed joint- ly by the miners and operators, and which give a decided increase in wages and grant Practical recognition to the United Mine Workers of America as an organized body. On the 2ist instant the strike was gen- erally ended, except in West Virginia, a few points in western Pennsylvania and a pertion of Illinois. It is the greatest vic- tory gained by trade unions in years. It Was won against the combined power of Wealth, judicial usurpations and inhuman tyranny. From the beginning of the contest, twelve weeks ago, the American Federa- tion of Labor and the trade unions of the whole land have been in the forefront with money and men to back the miners. Thou- sands of dcllars went out generously from the trade unions, and zealous union men gave their services freely to this noble cause. A liberal public, too, gave no in- considerable share of help in various ways. All through this struggle the miners in their manly dignity displayed no brutish viclence; their forbeararce and discipline are at once the wonder and admiration of our age. Believes in Practical Work. The American Federation of Labor, be- lieving only in practical methods, has to- day decided to continue its support with organizers and money until a complete victory for the miners is won. To this end it calls on its unions and on the pub- lic to rot halt in their full and unmeasured aid to this worthy movement. Many fam- ilies still need surport, and money will be required for some time to come, until the miners are more fully at work and able to kelp themselves. Let the trade unions be liberal in their donations until this struggle is crowned with complete success. We can see no need for the labor con- vention in Chicago next Monday. We ad- vise our unions not to be represented there. The money it would cost to send delegates had better go to help the suffering miners and their families. It is not by conven- ticns, with irresponsible talk, inflamma- tory declamation and revolutionary bun- combe, that the cause of labor can be ad- vanced. Violent appeals to the passions of the multitude can serve no good purpose. It is only by systematic organization of the working people in trade unions, with united hearts and united funds, and a fraternity of purpose which knows no bounds of creed, color, naticnality, or poii- tics, that will uplift the masses. Trade vurions are not the promoters ot social disorder or the upholders of riot or revolution. Our course is along the lines of peace and historical orderly devel- opment. We are law-abiding citizens, and if the law or its administration at times is against us, we are confident that an en- nghtened public opinion will ultimately correct the wrong. Hence we here make appeat to all fair-minded moiders of pub- lic thought, to our public men, to the clergy and the press, to make a decided stand henceforth with us against the unfair and unconstitutional! use of judicial injunctions which are wholly subversive of popular liberty. We further urge the citizens of-our en- tire country to rise unitedly at the polls in every state and elect men to make and administer our laws who will roct out and make forever impossible these new forms of judicial tyranny and political pHancy which now prevail in the service of cor- porate wealth. Adopted by the executive council of the American Federation of Labor, at Wash- ington, D. C., September 22, 1897, and in- dorsed by M. D. Rathford, president of the United Mine Workers of America. Those present at the meeting were Presi- dent Samuel Gcmpers, Vice President Jas. Duncan, James O'Connell and M. M. Gar- land, the only absentee being Vice Presi- dent McGuire. Before determiring to issue the fore- going proclamation, the mining situation was discussed in all its bearings, and it was decided that it would be best for the interest of the miners if the convention were not held. A number of other important matters were also considered by the council. Among these was the status of affairs existing te- tween the members of an affillated union at Bonner, Mon., and their employers, it being stated that the working members of the union were not free in the exercise of their rights, and a decision was reached that the émployers and their foremen and bosses, all of whom are connected with the union, should be released therefrom, in order that the original purpose, for the improvement of the condition of the wage workers, shall not longer be interfered with. 4 In reference to a long-pending dispute between the United Hatters of North America and a leading hat manufacturing firm of New York, it was decided that some of the executive officers of the fed- eration will request the firm to recognize the hatters’ organization, and to grant fair, reasonable conditions to their «m- ployes. Regarding the application of the Can Makers’ Union for a general boycott of all firms who are regarded as antagonistic to the interest of the organization, it was de- cided that it would be more advisable cnd more just to examine into each individual complaint than to order a general boycott. Additional Organisers. The council determined to not only con- tinue its present organizers in the mining district of West. Virginia, but to appoint two additional, to aid the miners in those states to effect an early settlement of their wage scale, based upon -the of the Columbus convention. - : Gude is an authority on tasteful Gecorations for weddings, etc. 1224 .

The general conyention of the Universal- ist Church, which will meet in biennial scs- sion in Chicago, beginning October 19, and continuing four days, will be attended by a number of prominent Universalists from this city. Unusual interest is attached to this convention, by reason of the faet that action will be taken modifying the form cf the profession of faith. In 1895 certain changes were approved, but in order to make such changes valid, they must be adopted by the convention at Chicago. Many of the conservatives are understood to be bitterly opposed to the proposed modification, and it is doubtful whether any will be made. Change or no change, there will be no departure from the Universalist doctrine and principles. At the convention the report of the poard of trustees on the finances, the statistics of the year and the state of the church at large will also be considered. The conven- tion has ecclesiastical jurisdiction over the parishes and conventions of the church throughout the country. ee AMUSEMENTS. “OLIVETTE” AT THE COLUMBIA.— Tenight at the Columbia, aptly christened the home of opera, that splendid lyrical organization, the Castle Square Opera Ccmpar.y, will enlist its full strength in a production of Audran’s ever-brilliant “Oli- vette.” Dainty Grace Golden will appear in the title role, Miss Lizzie Macnichol is the Bathilde, Joseph Sheehan will sing Valen- tine, and Melville Stewart is cast for De Merimac, while Miss Gertrude Rutledge will appear as Monstique, and Raymond Hitch- cock, the fun-maker of the organization, will have an opportunity to present his Coquielicot, which has received such splen- did commendation in other cities. This is the first time that all the. prominent mem- bers of the company have appeared in a single production since their opening at the Columbia. A grand, spectacular re- vival of “The Fencing Master” is under- lined for next week. —— ANTI-CIVIL SERVICE. Proceedings of the League Meeting Held Last Evening. At the regular weekly meeting of the National Republican Ant!-Civil Service League, held at Emrich’s Hotel last even- ing, President A. M. Clapp presiding, let- ters were read from republicans in New York, Ohio, Virginia, Mich‘gan, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, West Vir- ginia, Tennessee, Iowa and other states, favoring the purposes of the league, and pledg:ng their hearty support, and asking the league to forward anti-civil service literature. Messrs Thomas Clifford, F. M. Brooks and Wm. L. Robbins were elected to mem- bership, and upon the motion of Mr. Mc- Kenney it was rsglved to admit all repub- lican clubs to membership upon the pay- ment of a fee of $5, such clubs to be sup- plied with anti-civil service literature. Treasurer C. H. Ellis, referring to a criticism in the newspapers of his state- ment at the previous meeting as to the cost of the civil service commission, stated that while he might be mistaken as to the number of persons who have been em- ployed in the government service through the commission, he nevertheless believed his figures a3 to the cost of the commission to be more nearly correct than those giyen out by the commission. At the invitation of the league, Edward Hughes of Pennsylvania, ex-president of the Miners’ Federation of America, ad- Gressed the league. He stated that he is a republican and opposed to the civil ser- vice law, but desired it understood that he is an opponent of the law not because he has so far failed to obtain a position he was promised, but on principle. Mr.Hughes explained that he is a native of Wales. He compared the laws enacted tn England for the protection of the laboring classes ith similar laws enacted in this country, to the decided Cisadvantage of the Ameri- can laws. After authorizing the president of the league to appoint a committee of one from each state to more effectually promote the purpores of the league, an adjournment was had until next Wednesday evening.

At 2:30 o'clock p.m. Mrs. Frances Liter, @ returned missionary from Alaska, gave a talk on the condition of the peopic, with whom she worked while in that fie!d. She started in her work in 1891, on Douglass Island, working in the homes of the people, and teaching them how to live in a cleanly andsdecent manner. She described the two kinds of white men who visit that terri- tory, the man with a black book. under his arm, who teaches the Gospel and uplifts the race, and the man with a bottle in his Pocket, -who demoralizes the race and brings to-them a curse instead of a bless- ing. She’says the laws made for-their pro- tection from this man with a bottle are ex- cellent, but it is almost impossible to find honest men who will carry them out. She urged concerted action by the Christian Feople here in the states to abolish the manufacture of liquor. The election of officers resulted as fol- lows: Mrs. M. E. Cohen, president; Mrs. 8. H.

He carried his:fun so far that Policeman Mellen considered it dis- orderly conduct, and placed William under arrest on that charge. At the first precinct station house the prisoner developed a Streak of gpéater jollity. He declared he had a razor and meant to make use of it for other purposes than shaving. There was a great change in the de- meanor of Willlam when arraigned in the Police Court today. He meekly admitted that he was disorderly, and was sentenced to the workhouse for fifteen days, Judge Mills announcing that ultimatum. Royal, The Absolutely Pure Baking Powder. : CITY ITEMS.

The democratic delegates held a lengthy caucus, and it was not until 5 o'clock that their convention was called to order. Jas. A. Franklin presided, and Geo. W. Gray acted as secretary. It was agreed that the committee on fusion should confer more fully with the populist committee. Shortly ‘after this resolution was passed the con- vention adjourned, subject to the call of the county executive committee. It is un- derstood the joint committee reaffirmed the Chicago platform, but the populists put in ciatms for one member of the legislature and one county commissioner. The demo- crats objected to the county commissioner, hence the adjournment of the convention without naming a ticket. The populists then proceeded to nominate T. Canfield Jenkens for the house of dele- gates, and Benjamin Welch for county. commissioner, and their convention ad- journed. subject to the call of the presi- dent. They say that if the democrats will not accede to their demands they will put a full ticket in the field. - RED ROUGH HANDS Itching, scaly, bleeding palms, sh: painful finger ends, pimples, . mothy skin, drr, thin and falling bair, with itching, scaly sealps, ALL quickly yield to warm baths with CUTICURA SOAP, and “gentle anointings with CUTICURA (ointment), the great skin cure.
