Tho two-year-old child of Torrance
Cuinmings, of Carbondale, Pa., was
saved from death the other day by
tho bravery and <;ulck action of En-
gineer Cal Kimble, who runs the
passenger express between Carbondale
and Iloneedalc. The train was late
getting Into Carbondale, and as ><
swept around a curve at high speed
Kimblo saw not far away a baby sit-
ting In the middle of tho track with
its bark to tho train. It paid no hoed
to the whistle, and seeing that death
was Inevitable unless tho child was
rescued Kimblo put on the air brakes.
It was down grade, and ho realized
that the train could not stop before
It struck the child. He shouted to his
flremau to look after tho engine and
sprang out on the running board. It
took him but a moment to reach tno
head of the engine and Jump down
on the pilot. 8tretchlng down on the

The Chicago Sausage Makers' union,
comprising 1,000 members, which re-
cently seceded from tho Butcher

turn to the parent body. At a meeting
a vote was taken In favor of keeping

mum rate of wages east of the Missis-
sippi river, aril $2.50 a day minimum
west of that stream, be adopted for
all telegraphers, agents and levermen.

refusal to give the night firemen an

After a struggle which has lasted
nearly four months and cost the or-
ganization *50,000, the Amalgamated
Woodworkers' union of Chicago has

ture Manufacturers' association. Prac-
tically all ef the 1.S00 men involved

The United Typothetae of America,
the organization of the employing
printers of the country, at its conven-

The "readjustment'' at the Jollet

dccreas-.' amounts to 50 per cent. The

and all have been placed on a flat sal-
ary rate. Tho anger of hundreds of

though many have remained at their
]k>Mh, with the Intention of submitting
until after election.
Efforts to bring about closer alli-
ance between the printers and the
commercial telegraphers' unions have
met with fair success during the con-
ventions of the past summer. Now
the railroad and commercial telegra-
phers' organizations are talking ncgo
tiations so that a close affiliation msy
result. Tho reports in the Commer-
cial Telegraphers' Journal, a very
bright paper, predict a meeting later
at which an agreement between the
two unions of wire clickers will be
nade.
The Structural Building Trades Al-
liance, composed of the principal In-
dustries In tho building trades unions,
is designed to regulate the organized
building trades as to bring about har-
mony between employers and work-
men throughout that Industry, to en-
courage the investment of capital In
the structural operations, to substi-
tute arbitration for strikes and lock-
outs, and to make Impossible any-
where such a situation as has existed
until of late In the building trades In
New York city.
The lowest wages In Germany pre-
vail in the purely agricultural districts
in the eastern provinces, adjoining
Russia. Tho highest wages are paid
In the German neaportn and lu the
Industrial centers. The hours of la-
bor are never less lhan ten a day, and
are frequently twelve. "When it is
borne It: mind that the necessaries of
life, like meats and breadstuffs are
as high and even higher than in the
United Slates, and that rents of
houses are nearly if not quite as high,
tho wages of unskilled laborers seem
very low to an American," says United
States Consul Guenther, who is sta-
tioned at. FVaukfort, Germany.
"Po you want the eight-hour day.'
Thai is the question now agitating the
printers under the Jurisdiction of the

America is voting on tho question cf
indorsing the plan to inaugurate the

Reports received at the headquarters
of ihe parent body in Indianapolis

tho measure, and tho local unions
have been instructed to take a refer-
endum vote, completing the vote not
later than Oct. 21, and sending the
result to the International officers oe
fore tho expiration of the month.
James O'Connell, president of the
International Association of Machin-
ists, sends out n warning to local
unions to be careful in their selection
of i'Ulcers, because of the detective
system through which employers are
seeking to destroy the organization.
He says: "I know of no organization
that has been so infested with spies
and spotteis as the International As-
sociation of Machinists has been, and
is at the present time. Why our em-
ployers should be so persistent in
their efforts to employ so-called detec-
tives to secretly report tho business
oi our association Is beyond my com-
prehension. Machinists are employed
by several detective associations with
tho understanding that they must
hold membership in our association.
They aro advised to go into our local
lodges, make themselves active in the
work of the local, and whenever pos-
sible secure appo'.stmeut or election
to the position of recording or finan-
cial secretary, or president—record-
ing secretary being preferred—in or-
der that they might be In a posit.on
to secure all correspondence between
the local and grand lodges. I take
this opportunity cf warning our mem-
bership against the policy of selecting
those with whom you are not thor-
oughh familiar and acquainted to fill
the of.elal chairs In the local lodges.

THIS WOMAN KNOWS
WHAT ONE OF THE SEX DISCOV-
ERED TO HER GREAT JOY.
Mr*. De Long Finds That th* Inde
•cribable Paina of Rheumatism Can
Be Cured Through tho Blood.
Mrs. B. M. Do Long, of No. 160
West Broadway, Council Bluffs, Iowa
found heraelf suddenly attacked by
rheumatism in the winter tit 189b
She gave tno doctor a chance to help
her, which be failed to Improve, and
then she did some thinking and ex
pt'rlmcnuuK of her own. She wan a<>
successful that alio deems it her duty
to tell t'ao story of her escape Iron,
suffering:
"My broth . in law," she saya, "was
enthusiastic on thu subject of Dr
Williams' Pink Pills as a purifier of
the blood, and when I was suffering
extreme pains In the joints of m;r an
klcs, knees, hips, wrists and elbow*,
and the doctor was giving me no re
lief, 1 began to rcfleot that rheuma
tlsm is a disease of the blcod, ami
that If Dr. Williams' Pink PlUs are
s) good for the blood they must be
good for rheumatism and worth u
trial.
"1 was In bed half the time, Buffer
Ing with pain that cannot be described
to one who has never bad the disease.
It would concentrate sometimes In one
set of JclntR. When It was in my ftot
I oould not walk; when It was in my
elbows and wrists I could not even
draw the coverlets over my body. I
bad suffered In this way for woeks
before I began using Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. Two weeks after I began
with tnem I experienced relief and
after I bad taken six boxes I was en-
tirely well. To make sure I continued
to use them about two weeks longer
and then stopped altogether. For eev
eral years I have had no reason to
use them for myself, but I nave rec
ommended them to others as an Ex-
cellent remedy."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pllla furnish tli?
blood with all the elements that are
needed to build tip healthy tissue,
strong musclcs and nerves, capable of
bearing the Btraln that nature puts
upon them. They really make new
blood and cure all diseases arising
from disorders of tbe blood or nerves,
such as sciatica, neuralgia, partial
paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus'
dance, nervous prostration, anemia
and all forms of weakness In either
male or female. Ttoy are sold by all
druggists.
Dog Swam Long Distance.
Dogs vary greatly in Ebllity as
swimmers. Tho < ^io epanlel, re
triever, mastiff and St. Bernard excel
all others. A retriever known to the
writer once followed a canoe for nine
miles. The dog was much exhausted,
however, when drawn Into the boat
Auburn Hair in Disfavor.
In tho hope of exterminaticg or les-
sening what they considered a curse,
the Egyptians, in the lime of the
Ptolemies, used lo buru a red-hiir£ i
maiden once a year, so violently op-
posed were they to hair of a b-'gbl
hue.
No Hurry.
A remarkable story is told of a
clergyman abiding in a southwestern
suburb ot London, who, concluding a
sermon, said: "Yes, my brethren,
mere is a hell," and then, drawing
out his watch, added, "but we T7111 not
go into that just now."
Kill Weeds With Poison.
Weeds grow so rankly along th«
Guayaquil & Quito railroad, at the
foot of the Andes, in sixty-two mile#
of jungle, that watering tanks filled
with a strong solution of arsenic and
nitre havo to bo seut along tbe track
every ten days In the rainy season
to spray and so kill the vegetation on
each side of the track.
Camphor Gum Good Barometer.
A pteco of camphor gum is a very
good indicator of what the weather is
going to be. If when the camphor Is
exposed to tho air tbe gum remains
1 dry, the weather will be fresh and
dry, but If the gum absorbs the mois-
ture, and seems damp, it is a sign of
rain.
It is all right for a fast horse to
'ttempt to lower his rccird. ' ut
ivhen a man attempts a similar feat
t is all wrong.
What He Wanted.
A man called on a London police
court magistrate and said he hoped
the judge would got the newspapers
to assist him, as his wife had run
ftway and taken some sheets with her.
"You want tbe press to assi6t you
to find your wife?" asked the magis-
trate. "No, the shocts," was the re-
ply.
