Heads cf the Various Federations
Challenge Shaffer
TO PROVE HIS STATEMENTS.
X
New York, Sept. 27.—In an open
I letter issued here Samuel Oompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, and vice-president of the
Cigarmakers' International Union, and
.lohn Mitchell, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, and second
vice president of the American Federa-
tion of Labor, challenged Theodore J.
Shaffer, president of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers, to prove his statements made
recently against them. The letter is
• directed to Mr. Shaffer, at Pittsburg.
It recites President Shaffer's statement
as printed in the newspapers. The
letter contains this: "You will realize
the impossibility of our allowing your
charges and insinuations to go broad-
cast and stand unanswered and un-
challenged. We have no desire to en-
ter into a controversy through the
newspapers, but, repeating that we
believe it to be necessary that your
charges and insinuations should be
substantiated or refuted, to that end
we. submit a proposition to you that
a committee shall consist of three mem-
bers of organized labor, to be selected
by you from lists herein submitted; and
that if the committee finds us guilty of
your charges and insinations, we will
will resign from the presidency of the
American Federation of Labor and the
vice-presidency of the Cigarmakers' In-
ternational unions; from the presidency
«f the United Mine Workers' of Ameri-
ca, and from the second vice presidency
of the American Federation of Labor."
The letter concludes thus;
"We cannot imagine that you would
make grave accusations against us
without premeditation as to the con-
sequences. We, therefore, insist that
in common justice to us and with due
regard to the interests which both you
and we represent, you will advise us
within three days of your acceptance
of our proposition."'

The town is the capital of the Norwe-
gian province of its name, and is situa-
ted about 180 miles northwest of Chris-
tiana. The population has increased
very rapidly during the last thirty-five
years and is now over 00,000.
Damage by Rain and Front.
Washington, I). C., Sept 25.—The
weather bureau's weekly summary of
crop conditions says:
On the Pacific coast the weather con-
ditions were favorable except in por-

his subsequent movements against
bands of insurgents.

associate with or have relations with
an anarchist or any person whom I
have reason to suspect sympathizes
with the principles of anarchy; (will
neither sell to nor buy anything of,
will neither work for nor employ such
persons) and if 1 know anyone to be an
anarchist or sympathizer with anar-
chists I will repart his name at once to
the secretary of my lodge."
Article III locates the supreme lodge
in Wichita, and provides for subordinate
lodges anywhere in the United States,
to which end efforts will be made.

spreading the usefulneB of the associa-
tion.

The Best They Can Ds,
The French cannot "kick" a man.
The best they can do is to five him
•a hit with the foot." A Portuguese
cannot "wink" at a girl. He must
lengthen it out into "closing and
opening of the eyes." Most of the In'
41an language* are stated to have no
word to express the Idea of "stealing,"
and one of the early missionaries who
translated the Bible into the Algon-
quin speech, finding they have no word
to express "love," was forced to in-
vent one.
A DISTINGUISHED MISSIONARY.
Washington, Ind., Sept. 23d.—There
Is at present, living at 106 East 16th
street In this city, a most remarkable
man. He Is Rev. C. H. Thompson, and
he came to Washington from Little
York, Ind., a short time ago.
Rev. Mr. Thompson spent many
years of his long and useful life as a
missionary among the Indians of the
West. The great exposure end the
drinking of so much bad water brought
on Diabetes, and at Wagoner, Indian
Territory, he was struck down while
preaching.
Physicians, one of them a Chicago
specialist, pronounced his case hope-
less Dodd's Kidney Pills were recom-
mended, and as a last resort he tried
them. He was completely cured, and
restored to good health and his case
and its cure has caused a sensation
among the physicians.
ven. But so far as the phj -leal is con-
cerned, if Is within easy reach; t
least measurably so, as far as cure will
go. The sum of human misery in this
line Is made up of greater or less de-
grees of physical suffering. The minor
aches and pains which afflict mankind
are easy to reach and as easily cured.
There are none in the whole category,
which, if taken in time, cannot be
cured. They must in some form af-
flict the nerves, the bones, the muscles
and joints of the human body. They
are ail more or less hurtful and waste-
ful to the system. St. Jacob's Oil Is
made to cure them, to search out hid-
den pain spots, and to cure promptly

St is calculated that more ground
may be got over at a lively party or
ball than in a game of golf. It is stated
that in many a single waltz, kept up,

as much as a mile may be gone over.

To Honor Empress, Not Madman.
Some Austrlans living in Geneva
conceived the project of placing a me-
morial tablet in the Quai du Leman,
where the Empress Elizabeth was as-
sassinated. The authorities, however,
refused their permission on the ground
that it would be Improper to commem-
orate the deed of a madman and help
to preserve his name. In place of the
tablet it is now proposed to erect a
chapel in honor of the empress.
A man must have some sense to know
whether he has any or not.
