They fought. After one of the fiercest battles ever fought by the citizens of Hamilton the Socialists party won out ia nearly all the offices. The election has come and gone and the wise ones are wondering how it all came abo «t. Well there is more than a dozen reasors why the Socialist gained in the last two years and like always some of the politicians are laying the blame at the doors of others, while others are placing the blame elsewhtre. With the Republican party all shot to pieces and the Democratic party half shot and all divided and the Citizens ticket being unpopular with the laboring class the social ists had a go /d chance to slip in the city building There are other reasons why the socialists weie successful, one of these reasons, the neglect of the relief committee maicing a import to the people of Hamilton, another ihe combining of our city papers for thj citizens ticket and still another the clean fight made by the socialist pap^.r. M»ny of the old time politicians were of the opinion that the so cialist party was no* as strong as they were two years ago, but the vote of Tuesday has proven that they have gained wonderfu'ly. The socialists in this city are en trenched as never before and it wili take some tall scheming by the politicians to drive them from their positions. The socialists in our course you do like tity are no more a joke, they must be considered one jf our political organizations. WORLDOF LtBOR Five hundred coreraakers em ployed at the foundry of the Com monwealth Steel Company at Gran ite City, 111., are on strike.

The strike was the culutnination of a long A series of grievances on the part of the employes of the mills. The n.en compla'ned that they had been unj istly treated by watchmen. Monday a committee of the core makers called on the management and asked recognition. No demand for a w^ge increase had been made. tense situation exists between the locomotive firemen employed by the Canadian Pacific Railroad the company. The employes have been seeking an increase in the scale of wages and better woiking conditions for a considerable period. When last appealed to, the compa ny asked that the matter be htld in abeyance pending the acti n of the Eastern Railway Board. That board mr.de its award grant ing concessions to the firemen ot the fit'ty-two^a A roads affected some time ago. The employes are con sidering it high time that their de mauds are granted. Provision for increased pay for government clerks and for their re tiremetit on a pension of from 40 to 50 per cent of their safari s is contained in a bill introduced in the House bv Representative Austin of Tennessee. The age fixed for, firemen*. is seventy years. It s provided, however, that a government ®mp-oye of thirty years may retire at the age of sixty two Oil one half the average salarv of ihe last fwe years of ser vice. The salaries fixed by this bill rarge from $240 for a c'nar woman to $4.200 for the higher grade chief clerks Other clerk ships range from $900 to $2,500. Representative Laffcrty of Ore gon has. introduced a bill providing pensions in the United States who have reached the age of sixty years and who have been cit'zens for at least sixteen years, amounting to $Q a week. The measure asks that an appropriation of $1,000,000 be provided for its first year of opera tion, and places he task of putting the new law into effect upon the Secretary of the Interior. The 'aw is SD framed that it *v»u)d enable all persons to have income of less than $6 a week would receive an amount sufficient to bring the amount up to that figure.

Sacramento, Cal. Nov. 7.—The State Railroad Commission has de cided to enforce laws relative to telephone companies requii ing de posits from patrons for installing phones and has instructed telephone companies o cease demanding such deposits While under the law the compahies nave bad no right what soever to make sucb demands upon the public, they have continued to do so. It is estimated that .he companies are receiving from this source sufficient capital to carry on their business without recourse to the use of the original capital invested in the enterprise for this particular purpose HIS RETURN BANQUET. It Was a Grand Social Success *nd Cost the Major Nothing. A veterau officer In ilie United States army recently t»l«i of the shrewdness displays! b.v a major in the old days. He had been appointed to the com mand of an army post on an island not a great way froui San Francisco. Soon after his arrival there a French fleet dropped anchor in the harbor. The commander invited the major aboard the flagship and entertained him royally. The idea struck lie worthy major the next day that he was in honor bound to return the compliment, but he was staggered by the expense Involved. To give a ha liquet befitting his dig nity as a United States officer enter talning a distinguished representative of a foreign nation would mean bank ruptcy. as the government had not au thorized him to draw on its treasury for such a purpose, and the cost of the affair would have to come out of his own pocket. A bright idea struck him. He invited the naval visitors to be his guests the third day thereafter at an "American picnic." Then he sent invitations to the best people of the neighIwrhood to Join him in a basket nicnie at a grove near at hand on the same day, "to meet our French naval friends now on our shores." The people came with great baskets and hampers of provisions. A royal feast was spread in the grove, and the picnic was long remembered as one of the most notable social successes of its time.—Chicago Record-Herald. Damaraland. Mistakes such as that which makes Uganda of Buganda are frequent when the white man bases his geographical nomenclature on his understanding of the native. Sometimes they are amus ing when one gets the explanation For instance. Damaraland should real ly be Dauiaqualand. just as Namaqua land and Griquaiaud. for "qua" is the masculine plural, meaning "men.' "Ra" is the feminine dual. The ex plorer, with a sweep of his hand, ques tioned his native guides as to the name of the country. But they thought he was pointing to two Daina women in the distance and answered, "Damara.' So this portion of Herman Africa bears a name which signifies "land of two Dama women."—London Chronicle. Told of a Tailor. A Viennese tailor was so fascinated by his own figure in a suit ordered by a court functionary that he could not make up his mind to part with the garment.

Sickness and Agony That Livingston* Endured In Africa. Writing on hnvid I-i\imrstone. ruls sionary and African explorer. Sir Har ry H. Johnston xays in the British Geographical Journal: "IMiring the winter or rainy season of 181JS Liv ingstone WHH very III. He had been wet times without number and suf fered from terrible pains in *the chest and pneumonia He was often semi delirious and subject to delusions, such as that the b^rk of the trees was cov ered with Hum res and fa^es of men.

For the first time iu his life he was being carried and could not raise him self to a sitting position.

A mat and a shady tree under which to spread it would at any time afford him a refreshing sleep.

DISEASED THOUGHT. When You Realize That Is What Worry Is You Have It Mastered. Concentrated thought is virtually Ir resistible. All the vast edifice of mod ern science and Industry is obviously the product of thought, much of It of our own time and observation. The birth of an idea iu the human mind is clearly the one and ouly dawn of em pires and revolutions, of engines, phi losophies. trade routes, civilization. To class worry under the head of thinking, therefore, seems a glaring sacrilege. Yet worry is thought, for all that—diseased, impure, adulterated thought. It means au admixture of emotion, of the worst of all emotions fear -into one's thinking. Instead of concentrated, clear, serene thinking on the problem in hand, worry is thinking muddled black with fear. It is about as helpful as clapping the brakes upon wheels toiling uphill. Yet all the world is laboring under that Egyptian heaviness of the wheels, and almost every spirit Is a spirit in the dark prison of fear. But once we grasp this truth clearly, once we con vince ourselves that we can rid our thought of emotionalism, of fear, the day of our deliverance is at hand. And the substitution of encouraging, healthy thought, of new channels among the worn ruts, is n powerful aid. There may be failures and back slldlngs, as is customary in all mortal effort and human endeavor. But fear is weakened like a choking tiling, and more and more clear and unimpeded becomes our thinking, for we realize at last, once for all. that where think ing cannot help us fear certainly will not. And then we have worry by the throat.—CoUWs Weekly. They Court Death. Steeplejacks are proverbially reck less- or apparently so—In their actions when engaged on their dangerous work. A laborer who was attached to one of these experts used commonly to take a midday nap wherever he might happen to be situated His mates commonly found liim on the top of a steeple or chimney stretched full length upon a single board, his arms dangling over its sides, fast asleep. A single lurch would have meant a fall of a couple of juudred feet, and there fore certain death, yet he treated this possibility with the utmost indifference. —Chicago Record Herald. The Onion In Cooking. The greatest of French cooks, being asked to give the secret of his success, answered: "The very foundation of all good cooking is butter and oniou! 1 use them in all my sauces and gravies.

An Englishman wished to reach a customer living in a remote part of Balham, one of the suburbs of Lon don, and it was very urgent that he find him quickly. Knowing nothing of the locality, he called at St. Martin le Grand to con sult a directory. Stating his case to a clerk, he was amazed to learn that he could be sent to the address by parcel post by paying a fee of three pence a mile." The gentleman had never heard of such a thing, and it Is said that very few In England know that it can be done. Accepting the offer, the gentleman was placed in charge of a messenger familiar with all parts of the city and was soon on his way. The boy carried a printed slip on which was written a inscription of the "parcel" in charge, finder the heading. "Article required to be delivered." and before leaving the customer's bouse both the cus tomer and the gentleman were re quired to place their signatures on the paper. The limit in weight for anything de livered by parcel post in England is generally understood to be eleven pounds, but there is one clause which reads. "A person may be conducted by express messenger to any address on payment of mileage fee."—Argonaut. BOUCICAULT'S PROFITS. The Playwright's Fame Clung to Him Better Than His Riches. Dion Boucicault received £300 for his share in the authorship of "London Assurance." The way in which he spent that sum was an indication of things to come. He bought two horses, a cab and seven new coats. His ex travagance reached a climax over "Babil and Bijou." produced at Covent Garden in August. 1872. The money was found by Lord Londesborougli, and Boucicault (with him Planche) was under contract to produce some thing that might be called dramatic. What was produced was a gorgeous and incoherent spectacle, with red lob sters recumbent at the bottom of the sea. Boucicault, who had run up bills to the extent of £10.000 or so, did not stay for the production, but betook himself abroad. All that persists of this magnificent fiasco Is the boys' cho rus. "Spring. Spring, Beautiful Spring," which was retained almost by chance. But Boucicault was better known by his Irish dramas that are fresh today, as "The Shaughraun," "Arrah na Pogue," "The Colleen Bawn" and the like. By these he became rich and fa mous, but his fame clung to him bet ter than his riches.—London Post. No Landlubber. Young Jack Tabbs has only been In the navy for a few months, but there Is not a more enthusiastic sea dog in the whole of his majesty's service. He recently made application for and re ceived the usual leave and proceeded to London aud his mother's house. Mrs. Tabbs lives on the third floor of a house in Camberwell, and when he arrived at her address lie stood in the doorway and bawled up the stairs: "Mother, aloft there! Jack's come home! Open the window!" "Why. Jacky. my dear," cried the old lady from the landing, "whatever's wrong with the stairs?" "Stairs!" cried the weather worn tar, with ineffable contempt. "What do I know about stairs? Just you open the window and lower a rope to the main deck, and be quick about it!"— London Express. "Females." Our woman words have all experi enced vicissitudes of fortune. "Fe male," like the rest, has had its day. Chaucer introduced it under the guise of "femelle" and Shakespeare used it a few times instead of "woman." But it was the early novelists who clothed it with respectability by making all their women "females." So exceed ingly respectable bad it become in the time of Dr. Johnson that Fanny Bur ney called the princess royal "the sec ond female in the kingdom." Even so late as the publication of Tennyson's "Princess" Mrs. Browning was able to write with perfect propriety that the poem dealt with "a university attend ed by females." Then decadence set in till now no shred of respectability is left to it—Loudon Staudard. Near Fame.

Trioky Chap Is Ireland's Little Old Man, the Leprechaun. The story of the !.oy ho was ex hibited throughout Scotland as a genuine Irish leprechaun leads one to ask what exactly a leprechaun -is, for, of course, each variety of fairy has its special characteristics. The leprechaun is peculiar to Ire land and-ls In the form of a little old man. by profession a maker of brogues. He is only" discovered by the sound of the hammering of his brogues, and any one capturing him can induce him by threats to reveal where his wealth is hidden. But no one yet has laid hands on that wealth, for If you take your eye off the leprechaun for as much as a second he has the power of vanishing, however tight you may hold him. And tils ingenuity in making yon glance sway Is always successful. Only once did that ingenuity fail, and even then the treasure escaped un pillaged. A careful peasant, proof against ail temptations, kept his eye on the little brogue maker until the money was revealed in a field of ragwort. But he had no bag. So he tied his garter round the particular plant under which the money was hid and went to fetch one. only to find on his return that every ragwort in the field was adorned with a red garter.—London Chronicle. FATHER OF ALL HOT SPRINGS. Carlsbad's Famous Sprudel and Its White Robed Priestesses. The Sprudel is the most ancient of all Carlsbad's fountains, the father of all hot springs, and still pours forth the greatest flood of all. It rises like a geyser in its basin, a steaming, spouting column an inch and a half thick and from six to thirteen feet high. Around it stand priestesses, the spring girls, dressed in lovely white waterproof uniforms. They fix the drinking curts at the ends of poles and catch the water as it comes fresh from the earth's heart. The geologists call Carlsbad's foun tains virgin or volcanic water. They have their sources in no rainfall sink ing to fill subterranean reservoirs. Cre ated in those glowing inner laborato ries of mother earth, the water here leaps to light and air for the first time. Pagan memories seem to stir in one at the thought It becomes easy to be lieve that the springs bring from re cesses where it has lurked hidden since creation some magic, unspoiled, prime val energy and that the cheerful, smil ing (Jennan peasant girls who toil so tirelessly are captive woodland crea tures serving forces more ancient than fhe gods.—Harper's Magazine. Eating Crow. Although the use of the expression "to eat crojv" In a metaphorical sense, meaning to eat one's words, may well have dated from the time of Noah, when the bird was first looked upon as unclean and not fit to serve as food for man, it seems to have arisen from the old tale of the officer and the pri vate. A soldier, having shot a tame crow belonging to one of his oOicers was discovered by the owner with the bird in his hand. Seizing the private's gun, the officer commanded him to eat the bird as a punishment. With the firearm pointed at his head, the soldier fell to, but no sooner had the oflicer laid aside the gun than the culprit grasped it and compelled his superior to join in the distasteful banquet. The private was court martialed the next day. and when be was asked by the examiners what had occurred he re plied, "NotWiig. except that Captain Bank and I dined together." The Sausage. The sausage dates back to the year 897. It has been asserted that the Greeks In the days of Homer manufac tured sausages, but this prehistoric mixture had nothing in common with our modern product. The ancient so calied sausage was composed of the same materials which enter into the makeup of the boudin of the French market and fhe blood pudding of the French Canadian. The ancient sausage was enveloped In the stomachs of goats. It was not until the tenth cen tury thf.t sausage made of hashed pork became known.

In the light of the data that have been accumulated In respect to the physiological action of coffee it may safely be affirmed that It Is not in jurious when used moderately by rea sonably healthy people. With the neurasthenic and the dyspeptic it is a somewhat different matter. While alarming symptoms have followed the Ingestion of enormous quantities, there is no evidence that fatally toxic effects have ever ensued. Coffee Is a u/ild stimulant, and the effects are rather transient. The mod erate use of coffee will not make a well man iick.

It will obviate or re lieve fatigue. We do not con sider coffee a neces sary concomitant of civilized life, which some extremists claim it to be.
