Keyser, ih_> organizing sec re'.ary of the Church Association for the Advancement of the Interests of Labor, will epeak at 4 o'clock this afternoon at the Church of the 'Jood Shepherd, Twelfth and Cedur s'.r e e;s. Mlrs Keys r Is making a tour of the larger cities in the lulerrst of the cause she represan'.s, and in each city where she speaks her Idea is to organize a local branch of iha Brciety. The society, as Us name indicates, is In the interest of labor. It is an Epis copal organization and covering the en tire country. Bishop Huntington, of Central New York, is the president, and most of the bishops are vice presidents. Among its members and active workers are a number of representatives of or ganized labor. Its m rab^rVnip is divide.l about equally between men anil w.imjn. The leading lines of its activity are ar , bitralion ard mfciiaii n ard pw^at shop*. It tries to bring toge-:h.vr tho employer ' and the emp'oyes when there is trouble, working with state boards of aibitration ■n hen they exist. It is so conducted that it aims to t-ecure the confidence of the employer and the laborer, so that both Bides may receive its suggestions more readily. As to sweat shops, it works to j_. eecure good laws, and by careful inspee iior to have them enforced; It was Iha chairman of its sweat shop committee, for instance, that mntde the charge that Kaki uniforms worn by the soldiers dur ing tho Spanish war were made in sweat f shops, and he advanced the theory that measles among the soldiers was trans mitted through the uniforms from tho sweat shops where lh?y were made. The organization was formed in ]SS7, and its principles are: Tt is the essence of the teachings of Jesus Christ that God is the father <>f all men and that men are brothers. God is the sole possessor of the ea-th and lta fullness: man is but the steward of God's bounties. Labor b°ing the exercise of body, mind, and spirit in the broadening and elevating of human life, it is the duty of every man to labor diligently Labor: as thus defined, should be tho standard of social worth. "When the divinely-Intended opportunity to labor is given to all men, one great cause of tha present widespread suffering ard destitution will be removed.

TGim HE'S THE SMASHER POLICE ARREST WILLIAM GREEN VILLE OX ACCOUNT OF ItECENT WINDOW DESTRUCTION Three Charges of Window Break ing1 and One Charge ot Larceny Are Preferred Agrnlnet the Pi Is* onex Captured Yesterday. In the arrest of William Greenville late yesterday afternoon the police claim they have in custody the "Window Smasher," who has recently been frightening mer chants by his depredations. The charge against Greenville is malicious destruc tion of property. He was captured by Detectives Sweeney and Heeney, at Ninth and Wabasha streets. " The motive of Greenville in the alleged wirdow smashing he is accused of doing is something of a mystery. The police claim the object was robbery, but Green ville declines to discuss the matter. Greenville is charged with breaking win dows in three stores. Thursday evening he Is alleged to have smashed the'window at Louis Lazarus' second-hand store, 414 Minnesota street, while Friday morning he is said to have broken the glass out of the door at the People's Tailoring com pany's store, 4!) East Sixth street. At this time H. Slovetsky interrupted the window smasher in I.ls work, and had a hand to hand encounter with him. The fellow got away after pounding Mr. Slovetsky over the head with a cane. Last evening Mr. Slovetsky identified Greenville as his as sailant. Greenville is also accused of breaking ouf a v indow at th? laundry conducted by Charles Kennedy,at Seventh ar.d Exchange streets, Friday evening . GreenvlS!e is aiso wanted to answer the charge cf larceny. He is accused of steal ing a watch from H. O. Hammersten, 927 Jackson street. It is alleged that Green ville visited at the above address Friday, when tho watch was taken. .A warrant charging Greenville with the theft of the timepiece was sworn out by Mr. Ham meifsten. FOG SIGNALS Being Tested by ilio Government the Most Powirfnl Yet DevlKed. Cincinnati Exi.n.lr.er. There has just been erected at Faulk ner's Islam], Conn., on the government reservation for the lighthouse, an experi mental machine for testing a new system of fog signals, the invention of R. F. Foster, of New York. The apparatus consists of an immense megaphone, the largest in the world, sev enteen feet Icmj and seven feet in di ameter at the mouth, to which ia attached an inch and a half steam siren. This i 3 mounted on a circular platform twenty-* eight feet in diameter, and it revolves from right to left, like the hands of a clock, the megaphone stopping at each of the eight principal points of the com pass and blowing a different signal of lone and short blasts for each point. The object of the invention is to throw the sound waves in a certain direction, to the exclusion of any other direction, so that any vessel approaching the sig naling stntinn in a fog shall hear only tho sound which is given when the mega phone Is pointed directly at it. If the signal means "north" the fcg signal must be due north of tho vessel or it could not hear that particular signal. Tf it hears the "northwest" signal the signaling sta tion must be northwest, and so on. The machine was completed a few day 3 ago, and some private trials were made which seemed to prove that the inventor's Idea was successful, for the sound from this little inch and a half siren was dis tinctly audible up to ten miles when the observer was standing in a line with the axis of the megaphone, but nothing could be heard of the sounds sent to other points of the compass when at a distance of a mile or more fror? the instrument. This invention, if further tests estab lish its practicability, will s )!vo one of the greatest problems of navigation—de termining the exact location of a signal which is heard in a fog. So:!faring men are well aware of the difficulty of locat ing the signals they hear when passing other vessels or lighthouses with fog signals on them, and many a boat has run right on to a signal which was thought to be several points on one side or the other. The first t^sts are to b« made with the smallest siren and the largest megaphone, and then larger sirens ard smaller ms; aphones will be tried until the best size for the purpose has b?en ascertained. The siren now in operation is not one twentieth tho power of the ore at Sandy Hook, yet il can be heard distinctly at ten miles. Metal Getn Tfred. Metals iret tired as well as livinar l»e --lnj?e.

PAUL GLOBE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1899. BACK IN MANILA AGAIN THE AUDIENCE AT ACKER POST CAMPFIHE MAKES A MENTAL JOURNEY WHOLE TRIP IS DESCRIBED Members of the Thirteenth Furnish Interesting Accounts of Their Trip and Some of Their Experi ence*—-Characteristics of the Fili pino Outlined by One of the Speakers—An Interesting; Evening; Acker post, G. A. R., held an old fasii loned campfiro at Central hail latt night In honor of the men of the Thirteenth regiment, Minnesota volunteers. The event was in the nature of an expression from the veterans of the struggle of 18& --61 of appreciation of the deeds and I'uUh ful service of their successors, the vol unteers of IS9S. The hall was lillel to standing room and prettily decorated with flags and patriotic emblems. R?pie sentativ.'S of every Grand Aimy pott in the city were present, as well as mem bers of different military organizations. An entertaining programme of sptechea and music was given, in which the men of the Thirteenth were given a prominent part and recited the dangers they rad passed, after which the commissary de partments in charge of the ladles of the G. A. R., served coffee and refreshrrents and the session broke up into an informal reception. It was an evening where;-though the two great bodies of men who went from the state to the front looked back upon histories of their service entirely t"lf,rer- ent; the bend of fellowship given by ihe fact that both wore the blue and fought for the flag, established a »tror.g feeliug of friendship between thorn. Tha vet erans of ihe war of the Rebellion and the veterans of a later generation who served In the Philippine campaign joir.ed in a comraoii campfire and talked of their days on tho field. Th« evening's programme was made up for the purpose of giving information concerning the service of the Thirtiai.th In Luzon. Different m-mbirs of the rai ment spoke of the various phases of the campaign and gave a running h"story o.' events from the tim-3 the men left C.-inp Ram;;ey until they relumed'home agai .. A lar§e number of the men of the ieg ment Wf-re present, though only a lew made addresses. Pest Commander H?nry extended a wel come tc tha volunteers of the Phiiippi c campaign aril *.x;:r<.s-ed tlie kindly rtel ings of the veterans of the Rtbelhcn f r those who haa succeeded them In the field. lie then introduced Past Co n mander Isaac L. Mahan, who dcttd as chairman of ihe camp fire. Capt. A'lahan spoke briefly of tho s ?rvlce of the Thirteenth, and in intriQueing . ne of its members said- We have heard of the men of the T! ir teenth and. of the heroes who carried the flag to its farthest point nor.h. I wish to introduce to you a man whi i.-s as much as any other a haro. ons who was with the regiment during its en tire service and one who par.ic pate; 1, in its different actions. Dr. Harry Ritchie will tell you something of the rogiment from the time it left St. Paul until the day of its entry into the walled city of Manila after the 13th cf August. Dr. Ritchie gate a running account of the regiment's movements and of the journey to the Philippines and of the action there preceding the taking of the city. Said he in pare: All our lives we have looked up with | respect to the veterans of the Civil war. \ Now that we have returned home aga.n an 4 our service as soldiers of th*s Uni-ed States is over, we can feei a sympathy j with them ar.d a fraternal bond wh c.i nothing but the fact that we have bo;h served under the Has could g.ve. Wnat-. ever else we have done, we have worn the blue ar.d fought for Old G.o;y The history of tha regiment from St. Paul to Manila is already well known. We were fortunate in having the fast est vessel of the transport Utet and ar rived in Honolulu two days ahead of the rest. Our arrival brought on another round of receptions and gayetiss snd w<» practically monopolized the rec-:p'-ion in tended for the entire expedition. Then began tha tedious voyage to the Philip pines. Day after day we steamed o.i ward until at last the dim ou lines ct Corregidor island loomed up In the hori zon and we knew that v. re were near the end of our travels. Into the broad bay the Para sailed, and it was wiLh strange feelings that we first viewed the pano rama of the city of Manila and the f no tifications of Cavite. A burning VcSs>l lay at some distance down the bay, hr masts showing through the llamea and smoke, and our flrst impression was thai another naval engagement had occurred. Then the Concord steamed up, and n=? she lay to at a short distance from !he transport her captain hailed \l3 with tho first news of a month: "Cervera's fleet has been sunk a L. San tiago." Cheer after cheer wont up, and we knew that the campaign in Cuba was success ful. We landed first nt Cavite and took ashore our sick. Shor!iy sfteiwird th^ regiment was transshipped ar.d s?r.t across the bay to Paranaque. whee we landed with our stores and went into camp. Then, on Aug. 10, in th=! raddle of the rainy season, when daily ri n3 made the ground wet as a spqng;.-> and soaked everythir;?, we went into the trenches for our first experiences und-r fire. Long dLtches wi'h barricades •■£ sand bays protected us. ' hou:?h in tin b-./ttom six ir.chps of mud rnada it a'mo t impossible, to take any rest or comfort. Two days ar.d the" f?4i oT '•August, -he battle of Mania. The Thirie nth :d vancsd under fire and took !«art in ore' of the. hottest engagement's of the ca-r. paten. We had our w.ju'ndei . 0:1 ih^ field, too. and from injuries rec^ivrd fh'it day we lost our first men. Persist nt fifrhting won tha day, and not 'o-g after 1 v*v entered- 'It* r't-y for t.'-e first \fan \ I have nothing but praise for the regi- j ment, bur of 8" thos> who showed the ir;:e fighting 9 lrit and evinced th? ster ling characteristics of heroism.thosa who KJr.cl Old iian— An, go.ng -a> .coo. I:o; k? Duet—Huh, do we iook ;i::e we u&Z oil io Cc clnus? wanted to be in the fight when sick and wounded should have the most praise. On the day of the battle ot Manila, I found three men fighting In the trenches who were in the second stage of typhoid fever and had left their cots for the fray. There never was a time when the Thirteenth was not ready to fight. The great difficulty lay in prevailing upon the elck to remain in shelter while the rest were engaged. Maj Noyes C. Robinson spoke of the work in the city of Manila, where the regiment was placed on provost guard duty and was given the task of restoring order. He paid tribute to the faithful work of his men in all the difficulties of their work and spoke of the magnitude of the task. A city with no sanitary de partment was to be cleansed and put in a healthy condition, and that in a tropi cal climate; order was to be restored in a hotbed of riot and crime; protection was to be afforded cuizens and an effi cient system of police protection afford ed. The details of the task were graph ically described. ■ 9 Max Brack, a timber of Company C, was called upon jto gj^e an account of himself and to t&llr^ether or not ho was afraid at any time during the cam paign. The embdn assing tltuat on was relieved by a frank confession. Said he: .. Vll adm.t that I was afraid duilng the campaign, airaid cf the Filipinos and at raid v. at 1 might be killed. Not only that, but I was afraid a great many times, ihe night of the Tondo fignt I ran aown stairs ard into tha jard of the police quarters, positively shivering U;te a man in a snow tto.m from fright.

Charles Collins, of Com pany H. said: The nativi-s are an imitative race. Thay possess little nr.aßination and little in ventive power. Ti.ey are able to copy things as the Chinese do. but are not able to woik things out for taemseives. Three hundred years' association witn the Spanish has maue them almost a Span ish race. There id huidly a Filipino who cannot read and write his native lan- Kuasre, and the better classes are very intelligent. 1 know Filipiro iadies who possess liberal educations, have adopted European customs and are excellent mu sicians. . The better classes are educated and possess many of the characteristics or the Spaniards, their teachers and leaders for three centuries.

Leslie's Weekly. Pig iron-, steel ir.gois and copper ore are more potent factors In rhe march of mod ern civilization than gold and silver. A glance at ths figures of the recent official report cf the mineral production of the United Slates for ISSS illustrates this. Thus the amount of pig iron produced in ihb year was 11,?'.3,95-1 tons, and of steal ingots 6,609,0i7 tutss, the largest output on record. The copper produced amounted to £26,512,967 poua"d.s, lead to 231.269 tons, while the aluminum figures i i the returns at 5,2<;0,0C0 pourallL with a v-!-j:i of $1,716, --000.

Ex-Attorney General Gso. P. Wilson, of Minneapolis, and Attorney Beck con ferred with the members of the railroad and warehouse commission yesterday wlth reference to the proposed action of the commission men of the state In car rying their case into the United States supreme court, and for the purpose of making application to the commission, in behalf of the interested commission mer chants, to have proceedings agairst them provided for by the Grindeland bill In oases of nbnconformance with the pro visions of the law, deferred for ten days, to permit the filing of papers in further action. Mr. Wilson represents the interests of the grain commission men of the state and Mr. Beck those of the produce men. -Both were agreed that the recent defeat of the commission men in court laid them liable to arrest for not securing licenses for the transaction of their busi ness, and yet thought it reasonable 'to ask the commission not to take action until the different merchants interested could arrange on their future course and take measures looking to further contest on the points of the objectionable bill. The produce men of the state are not Interposing serious objection to the en fcrcemeiit of the law and many have al ready applied for license blanks. The grain men, however, object seriously. Mr Wilson stated that it will be almost impossible for them to comply with the provisions of the law and furnish bond, since their business of last year, on which the bond is issued on a basis of 10 per cent, makes the amount of the surety large. In many instances tho bond re quired by law would run into figures of more than a million of dollars. To fur nish such a oond imposes serious difficul ties. In the case of the produce men, the difficulties are not as great, for the rea son that their business is generally small er and more easily accounted. The grain men hold that for twenty years they have transacted business without a li cense, and that it is too late to begin low. They also object on the ground that the produce merchants are the ones asninst whom the bill shouM apply, since their transactions are alleged by the grain men to have been the original cause of the.lntroduction of ilie measure In the legislature. Juxbther point on which both attorneys raised objections, is the clause In the fcrm of affidavit for Individual surety on bond which requires sureties to make sworn statements of their personal as sets and liabilities. The question raised involves the right of the coitfhilssion to inqHisft into a man's private business beyond securing- h4s sworn statement Ihat he is worth sufficient to reasonably cover the liability Incurred by signing the bend In the case of a bond by a surety crmpany. issued according to the present requirement, considerable of a financial statement would be required. The aliped infringement of personal rights, In maKlng nubile tre inside financial condition of Fuvetips. Is a point which suggests to the attorneys that it will be almost impossi ble- for the commission men to obtain sureties other than those furnished by surety companies. Attorney Wilson stated that the casa will be taken into the United States su preme court on a writ of error Gen. Becker Rr-d Judge Mills, of the commission, went on record as opposed to the form of bond prepared, and did not consider it a just one to enforce. The commissioners took no action con cerning the delay asked for and will con sult. WITH AN ALASKA ROAD. J. R. Rogers Leaves the Great Northern for Another Position. J R Rogers, superintendent of the Ka'lispel division of the Great Northern, has resigned to take service with the White Pass & Yukon railway in Alaska. Fc- tv. e'.ve years he has been continuous ly in service with the system, and has occupied many positions of trust. His resignation w*s unexpected, and he has already left for Juneau, Alaska, from there to take his new position as general superintendent. Mr. Rogers is one cf the well known VVestern railroad men who have been con nected with the Great Northern. He is thirty-four years of age, and has spent almost his entire period of railway service on the Western divisions of the road. He began railroad woik as an operator at a way station on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul In Wisconsin in ISBO. In 1582 he * as appointed dispatcher, and held the position for five years succeeding. He re signed in 18S7 to accept a similar position with the Great Northern, at Minot, N. D Curing the construction of the Mon tana Central snd Kallspel divisions of the road he remained, moving west with the piiierees of the construction work. In 1595 he was appointed superintendent ol the Kalispel division, and since that time has ably filled the position. His resigna tion was received during the early part of the week. The White Pass & TUkon road Is one of the few lines of railway In Alaska, and has been nearly completed under al most unsurmountable difficulties. Its pro moters are Americans, and the operating force. alK'igt without exception, drawn from Western railroad ranks. The road has already given evidence that its future is bright, and from its position is bound to do on immense business. It traverses the White pass and enters the gold fields, saving several hundreds of miles of travel, which has been previously done on foot RAILROADS Wl\.

Ella Wheeler Wllcox In New York Journal. Just What woman should do with her comparatively new-found freedom seem; to be a question which the sex rinds difficulty in answering satisfactorily to the world 3o long restricted and hard capped by custom in occupation in dress and in amusements, she now too of:en llks off upon a tangent, exhausting her energies, overestimating her abilities and forg-.t ting her own best interests. Never is the more pitiTul ard mere ridiculous than when she enters the arena of physical sports as a contes ant with man. If the majority of us were obliged to choose between the two e\"tr^mes— the old-fashioned girl with her terd.n cy o faint and her pride In the rcputafon of bslrtg "delicate," and the modern woman who uses up all her nerve lnrce and gray matter In several century runs—l am sure we would unanimously chooss the former. What can be more inartistic ard unai tractive than, a homo wtipre a hussar d and hired attendant are tiptoeing aiound the couch or a woman who has brought herself to the verge of nervous collapse, for no purpose on the face of the rarth save to outdo some other woman or man in a feat of physical prowess? No husband ever lived who wished ! is ■wife to exort or exhaust he: self n th s manner. No husband In th« world, s .v. that best hfarte.d and kind?st-snul.xl cf created beings—the American hu.-bancl— would consent to it. But it is mistaken kindness on his part. Just a* it Is n.ia taken ambit'on on hers. It is a groat pity for woman to forget the power which lies in being pienslir-'— pleasing to the mind, to the eye. vo the ear and to th.; h?art of the world. Whenever she igno:es this fact she lim its her utility. To be good or to be brilliant is far enough from sufficient for woman. She must, to fulfill to the limit h r sphere in life, be clean, wholesome and attractive personally, no matter what moral or mental attributes are hers. The neat costumes which our trained nurses and our sisters of charity hnve adopted are great aids to their useful ness In doin£ good. Carelessly attired or dishevelled women in sick rooms or In haunts of misery could never ach'^ve what they do for the eomtrtrt or bet c - ment of the aiHng and unfortunate. Beauty Is a great factor in the wo Id. We instinctively worship the beautiful be cause it Is a silent expression of har mony. Beauty is the music of the py:\ Wher ever beauty exists it is an assertion lhat truth and harmony have existed before it In past lives or.tn the lives of cur predecessors. If we misuse or abuse what ia b?autlful in this life, woe be unto us. If we ignore the beAutlTul we insult the Creator. God loves beauty or He would never have made so much that is exquisite to the eye in nature. Tha ugly and the repulsive are cr ntlons of man, not of God. The law of bet uty •s sternly moral. Tho moment individ uals, nations or races forget this fact, and .\ttempt to divorce beau:y frv>m mor ality, disease, deformity and d'ssolut'on result. But, on the ether hand, when ever a man undertakes to ignore beauty garding the amount to be paid by the former for the use of the depot and terminals. The dispute, however, is not serious, and doubtless will be compro mised. The Wisconsin Central was the first road to occupy the depot, and has been there ever since.

TWO ROYAL NTJNS Prny for the Repose of the Sonl of Reprobate Husbands. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Two princesses of the blood in the old world wear the habits of a nun, and follow the strict rule of the religious or ders to which they are affiliated. One of them is the Russian Grand Duchess Nicholas Nicolalewitoh, widow of the grand duke of that name. She makes her home in a cell of one of those under ground convents, which constitute a feat ure of the (to Russians) holy city of Kleff. and spends her time In praying for the repose of the soul of her disreputa ble husband, the most evil of the broth ers of Emperor Alexander 1., and who died In disgrace after being banished from court by his nephew, the late czar, on account of his colossal dishonesty and . stenis, and also by reason, of the scandal of his private life. The other roya! nun who is equally sad-faced, and who likewise spends the greater part of her time in praying for the repose of the soul of a reprobate husband, is Princess Clothilde Bonaparte, sister of King Humbert. and around whose deathbed at the gloomy castle of Moncalieri are gathered her children, the Bonapartist pretender. Prince Victor Bon aparte, Gen. Prince Louis Bonaparte, of the Russian army, and the widowed Duchess Letitla of Aosta, who is not only the niece, but likewise a sister-in law of King Humbert. Princess Clothilda is very ill. dying in fact, of an internal cancer, and while It is possible that her life may be prolonged some months, b'Hh she and nor family realize that it Is nec essary to lose no time in ordering family matters with a view to her demise.
