SOCIALISTS OPPOSE GOMPERS
SPEECHES AROUSE LABOR CIR
CLES IN PARIS.
Moderates Show Sympathy in His
Denunciation of Anti-Patriotic ?
Agitation.
PA HIS, July 17.?The speeches of Sam
uel (lumpers, president of the American
Federation of l>abor. delivered this week
before the French labor organizations, are
arousing Intense interest in labor circles.
The extreme socialists bitterly condemn
him as a reactionary and hcoIT at his big
salary, but the moderates have shown
much sympathy in his denunciation of
the f itile political role which the French
General t'onfederation of J>abor is essay
ing in its revolutionary, socialistic and
anti-patriotic campaigns. The moderate
press of all shades of opinion expresses the
hope thai the French labor organizations
will heed Mr. Gomptrs" words, abandon
revolutionary agitation and devote them
selves, like the American organizations,
solely to the advancement of professional
interests.
Mr. (Jompers is expected to take an im
portant part in the International Trades
Union Congress, which is to be held in
1'aris beginning August .*W. where, it is
understood, he intends to propose the ere- I
ution of an international bureau for the
interchange of intelligence and co-oper
ation, when desirable, of the different
branches of industry.
Brandy.
From the New York Times.
Who in this country drinks brandy? |
It is used medicinally, and, ostensibly,
in cookery, though it is likely that I
whisky serves as well in mince pies and [
the old-fashioned sauces of puddings.
Iiut the brandy smash, in this neighbor
hood is obsolete, and brandy and soda
is practically non-existent in the age of
the "high ball." The liqueur brandy,
after the demi-tasse, is still toyed with
by the aged and constitutionally unpro
gressive, but surely a full quarter of a
century, not wholly given to total ab-1
stinence from intoxicants, has elapsed
since the men one meets drank brandy.
Good brandy is expensive, while bad
brandy is too bad for even a conllrmed
loper. About 7,<*)0.mK> gallons of so
ealled brandy are produced annually in
.several states of this republic, from
grapes, apples and peaches, but this is |
not the brandy of commerce.
Yet the effort ot the long-established
French brandy houses, siri< e the passage
of our pure food law. to prevent the use
of Cognac on the labels of brandy ex
ported tw this country .by many other
inantifaeturers, has directed attention to
the enormous eonsumption of brandy In
the Vnited States. Cognac lias generally
been regarded as a trad? term in this
country, signifying a superior grade of
brandy. It is, however, the name of a
province, and the historic brandy houses
insist that they use all its admirable
grapes in their business. "Cognac"" may
therefore be obliterated from the labels!
of other brandies, even though they are
exported from that very province.

Second Party of Fifty Will Re
turn Wednesday After Fortnight
of Restorative Benefits.
More than 1<?> mothers and children are
enjoying "themselves at O'amp Good Will.
Outdoor life, fresh air, wholesome food
and amusements and oportunlty for rest
and recreation make for renewed vigor
and health and contentment of mind.
A party of fifty arrived at the camp
Wednesday and is already at home in the
new surroundings. The mothers sit in
small groups under the shade trees or as
sembly tent, watching their babies. Older
children, from those who can just toddle
to boys and girls of twelve or thirteen .
years, play about the grounds at the nu- >
merous games and amusements that have i
been provided for them.
The camp is in Rock Creek Park, about |
three-quarters of a mile from Brightwood. J
It is located on high ground, commanding!
good views of the surrounding country, )
and covered with many shade trees. The j
tents are laid out in two fields, surround- i
ing a farmhouse. In which the superin- j
tendent and her assistants live.
Camp's Ideal Location.
The camp is easily accessible from the
car line, and yet isolated enough to be
free of neighbors and to avoid tlie an
noyance of frequent visits or inspections '?
by curious people. As it is near to Rock !
? ?reek It offers excellent * bathing oppor
tunities to the hoys and girls.
With the present tentage and other fa- j
< ilties the camp will accommodate about
1?k> mothers and small children. They 1
ure taken from the city in groups of fifty
by representatives of the summer outings
committee of the Associated Charities and
remain for two weeks.
The fifty who were brought to the camp
July 1 returned to the city Wednesday,
showing plainly the good effects of their
outing. The change in the smaller chil
dren especially was remarkable. Many of
the little ones who came to the camp pale
and thin returned after their two-week
vacation with ruddy complexions and
rounded cheeks. '
A second group of fifty was taken out
July 7 and will return home Wednesdav.
By taking out fifty every Wednesday for
a period of two weeks there are always
luO visitors at the camp. There are
usually about fifteen mothers, and the
rest are children, ranging in age from
two months to thirteen years.
Before being taken to the camp each
mother or child is examined oy a Physi
cian to make certain that none are suf
fering with contagious diseases. A phy
sician visits the camp every day, exam
ines any of the visitors who are ill and
sees that the sanitary regulations of the
camp are strictly enforced.
Infants Given Special Care.
In the farmhouse in which the attend
ants live there is a dispensary. Particu
lar attention is paid to the milk prepared
for the babies, and many of the infants
receive at Camp Good Will better nour
ishment than they have ever had before.
The mothers are also instructed in the
proper preparation of Infants' food, so
that the children will not fall back after
returnng home.
The children and mothers who are in- |
vited to spend two weeks at Camp Good i
Will are selected by the workers of the j
Associated Charities from among those
who are in most need of rest and recrea
tion in the country but have not suf
ficient means to go themselves or send
their children
In some cases only a few children from
one home are selected and in others
entire families atr brought to the camp.
Some of'the mothers have seven or eiglit
children with them.
In many cases just one woman from
the neighborhood will go, taking her own
children and several of her neighbors'
youngsters with her. All these will camp
together in one or In adjoining tents.
The length of the visit is two weeks,
but some of the children who are par
ticularly delicate and seem to be de
riving great benefit from their outing
are permitted to remain for a longer
period. There is so much fun for them
at the carnp that few children get home
sick and nearly all are sorry when the
two weeks are up.
The camp Is laid out in two fields ad
joining the farmhouse. The tents are
wall tents covered with a fly which makes
them absolutely waterproof. They are on
high ground, are ditched and have board
floors, so that even during ralnv weather
they are perfectly dry.
Six Sleep in a Tent.
The women and children sleep in cots,
six to a tent, and have good blankets,
pillows and sheets The nights in the
open air are cool. While people in Wash
ington are uncomfortably warm, the
woipen and children in Camp Good Will
require blankets at night.
The best of order prevails in the tents
and the women and children are encour
aged to keep everything about their can
vas homes as neat as possible.
\V hen the weather Is good the tents are
rolled up during the day, allowing the
fresh air and sunlight to enter so as to
keep everything in a clean, sanitary con
dition. Trunks, ba?s and bundles are
arranged neatly under the cots, and the
clothing of the children is hung up on
lines stretched from pole to pole.
The boys who play they are Indians
take great pride In looking after their
tents. The youngsters who have been
there for a week teach the newcomers,
how to ?roll the tents, and tighten or
loosen the puy ropes.
In the center of one field is a large
assembly tent, containing many rockln?r
chairs, wherw the mothers, surrounded
by children, gather after dinner for even
ing exercises, which consist of singing,
recitations by the children, and a lecture
by the superintendent, and always ter
minate with a prayer for the protection
of the camp. Before the evening exer
cises 'he children Ket the lanterns for
each tent and plac^ them lighted In a
circle around the assembly tent.
T ;ie dining hall, which seats more than
lOO^persons, is a wooden addition to the
farmhouse, forming a kind of covered
garderr. screened in, to avoid flies and
other insects. The camp has its own
:<arden. which keeps the table well stock
ed with fresh vegetables. Particular at
tention is paid to the meals, as plenty of
wholesome food, with good milk is re
garded as one of the principal means of
building up the physical condition of the
women and children. The diet of the
children is regulated according to their
ages.
A Day in Camp.
At G:3o o'clock in the morning the
campers are awakened by a bell and
breakfast is served at 7. Dinner is at ti
o'clock, except Sunday, when it is serv
ed at 5:rt0, so as to allow time for the
religious services, which are held every
Sunday evening .
Numerous amusements of all kinds are
furnished for the children. While the
smaller youngsters are digging in the
ha?B > n' ,he boys and *irls are Playing
base ball or croquet or using the swings.
.ee-saw a .sliding ladders or other amuse
ments. A punching bag is a popular
amusement with the larger boys
The large barn is fitted up as a play
ground to be used In rainy weather. The
- amp donkey Is popular with the children
who take turns in riding or driving him!
\\ ith most of the youngsters, however
the greatest fun of all is swimming or
bathing in Rock Creek. The boys go down
each morning at 0:.T0 for their swim, and
about an hour later the girls are taken to
the creek.
Archie Giliillan, known as "Captain"
among the boys, and Bruce Webb, mem
bers of the superintendent's staff, have
direct charge of the boys and watch them
carefully during the bathing to see that
no accidents happen. Woman attendants1
aecpmpanv the girls to the creek, and a
member of the park police force is de
tailed to the pool each day while the girls
bathe, to be on hand in case of accident
and to keep outsiders from Intruding.
Each week both the boys and girls have
contests to decide who is the champion
swimmer of the camp. The records made
are proclaimed every Wednesday io the
newcomers, who strive to beat them. The
camp takes a trip to the Zoo every week,
and other walks are taken in a body
through the surrounding country.
Custodians of Camp.
Miss Martha Stewart is superintendent
of the camp, and besides Mr. Gilfillan and
Mr. Webb, has as assistants Miss Klenor
Keene. Miss Anna Bogan and two volun
teer workers, Miss Haynes and Miss Mary
Golden. ? .
Miss Stewart and her staff remain at
the camp all summer and have quarters
in the farmhouse. They greet each new
party of campers every Wednesday and
assign them to tents, according to fami
lies or to the ages of the boys and girls.
A mother is assigned to each tent where
?bere are small children, and the larger
boys and girls are divided up In groups of
six.
The newcomers are brought up from the
cars In a large wagon. After they have
been in camp but a short time they be
come acquainted with the older campers,
who act as hosts and explain all arrange
ments to them.
The summer outings committee of the
Associated Charities having charge of
ramp Good Will is made up of the fol
lowing members: John Joy 1'dson, chair
man; Andrew Tarkcr, treasurer; Walter

CHECK MAIL CAR ROBBERIES
POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT IN
SPECTORS MAKE PROGRESS.
Arrest Five Men for the Union Pa
cific Hold-Up at Omaha,
Nebraska.
That the Post Office Department has ef
fectually checked if not finally stopped a
series of daring mail car robberies in the
west is set forth In an official report sub
mitted yesterday to Postmaster General
Hitchcock by Post Office Inspectors Hal
B. Mosby and C. M. Perkins.
Since the Northern Pacific hold-up at
Hilliard. Wash., in September, 1007. In
which the bandits secured $40,000 from a
registered mall car. six train robberies
have been committed between Spekane,
Wash., and Omaha, Neb. In all of these
robberies mail rather than express cars
were attacked or seized. Recognizing that
valuable registered mall was the prize
sought in all of the recent hold-ups, Post
master General Hitchcock issued an or
der in May calling for vigorous action.
Inspectors 'Mosbv and Perkins were de
tailed to proceed to Spokane, the scene of
most of the hold-ups, but while en route
the fast Overland Limited on the Lnion
Pacific was held up and robbed near
Omaha. Neb., and their assignment was
changed to that point. As a result of
their work, in connection with Inspectors
p l Patterson and Ralph Smith and the
Omaha police and Union
service officials, there is said to be little
doubt of the capture of four of the band
of train robbers responsible for the nu
merous depredations since tne hold-up at
Hilliard.
Names of Men in Arrest.
Those charged with the Union Pacific
robbery at Omaha a*e. BiU Matthews,
alias G. W. Marvin, the alleged ringlead
er; Lawrence Golden, alias Jack Shelton,
alias J. C. Kelly; Dan Dower, alias D.
W. Wood; Fred Torgensen, alias F. W.J
Derf and Frank Grigware. alias James
Gordon. The suspects have lived m the
vicinity of Spokane all their lives. They
are he*ld in the Douglass county ja.l at
Omaha. $25,000 being the amount of bond.
\s thev are charged with having jeopar
dized the lives of eight mall clerks in the
Omaha hold-up. if convicted the penalty
may be life imprisonment.
Since the discovery of revolvers, masks,
cartridges and caps burled in a hillside
on the campus of Brown Park school
house In South Omaha and the finding of
empty mail pouches and dynamite in the
attic of that schoolhouse, the post office
inspectors say they have traced the sus
pects to Denver and connected them wkh
the hold-up of a Denver rnu Rio Grande
train near Denver February 12.
The Function of Imagination.
From the Forum.
Imagination is nothing more or less
than the faculty for realization?the fac
ulty by which the mind makes real unto
Itself such materials as arc presented to
it. The full significance of this defini
tion may be made clear by a simple Il
lustration.
Suppose that some morning at break
fast you pick up a newspaper and read
that a great earthquake has overwhelmed
Messina, killing countless thousands and
rendering an entire province desolate.
You say, "How very terrible!"?after
which you go blithely about your busi
ngs untroubled, undisturbed. But sup
pose" that your little girl's pet pussy cat
happens to fall out of the fourth-story
window. If you chance to be an author
and have an article to write that morn
ing you will find the task of composi
tion heavy. Now, the reason why the
death of a single pussy cat affects you
more than the death of a hundred thou
sand human beings Is merely that you
realize the one and do not realize the
other. You do not, by the action of
imagination, make real unto yourself the
disaster at Messina; tyit when you see
your little daughter's face you at once
and easily Imagine woe. Similarly, on
the largest scale, we go through life re
alizing only a very little part of all that
is presented to our minds. Yet, finally,
we know of life only so much as we
have realized. To use the other word
for the same idea?we know of life only
so much as we have imagined.
Changes in the Human Form.
From the Boston Globe.
The tailors and shoe dealers of Lon
don have accumulated some Interesting
statlctlcs on the change In the figures of
men and women. According to the tail
ors, there are two new types of men;
that is, as regards their figures. One
is the man who plays a great deal of
golf, or Indulges largely In other forms
of outdoor sport; this man is growing
taller and elimmer. On the other hand,
the man who has given up walking and
horseback riding for the motor car la be
coming prosaically fat; during the last
two years there has been such a waist
development ?iat the makers of ready
made clothing have been forcd to add
an extra half inch to the waists of
trousers. For the athletic type of man
the average chest measurement is thirty
eight inches with waist of thirty-four,
while the motoring man, though shorter,
1 demands a tirty-slx-inch waist.
As for the ladies, it is a delicate sub
i ject. but the dealers feel the truth must
prevail, and they reluctantly admit that
their customers' feet are much larger
than they used to be. Two years ago
the average was No. 4, and No. - was
kept in stock: this latter slxe has now
been given up and No. 8 has appeared,
while the average has Increased to No.
5. If this has been accomplished In two
years, who" can guess the changes, to
come?

Late Senator's Son Thonght to Be
Biding His Time.
OPPOSITION TO MARRIOTT
Judicial Nominations Provoke In
terest?Pure Food and Drug
Bill Advocated.
SfK-oial Corr^Rpondcnre of The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md., July IT. 1!V?9.
,The political gossips aro beginning to
I ask what has become of State Senator
i Arthur P. Gorman.
Always In the foreground in the coun
j oils of the party since the death of his
father, the young boss of Howard county
has suddenly withdrawn , from the lime
light. The question naturally arises. Is
young Gorman sulking in his tent?
There are some who assert that there
is a breach between Senator John Walter
8mlth and young Gorman. They say
that It is due to the fact that the How
j ard county senator was given little en
' couragement by the state boss In his
j known ambition to go to the United
States Senate.
Smith Fathered Gorman.
Tt may be mentioned here that Senator
Smith looked with favor upon the ambi
tion of youn^ Gorman and doubtless
would have given his support to the
Howard countian had not. the exigencies
of the political situation demanded other
wise.
With the disfranchisement amendment
fight ahead Senator Smith realized that
he dare not oppose Senator Rayner in his
candidacy for re-election. Had Senator
Smith turned his influence against Ray
ner it would have cost the party thou
sands of votes in the coming election.
And In the event of being opposed by
Smith it is hardly likely that Rayner
would have taken the stump In advocacy
of the amendment.
Young Gorman, it is said, cannot be
brought to view the situation through
the glasses of the i,<ate leader*, and is
said to be biding his time to square
things with Smith. It will be recalled
that young Gorman supported Smith as
I against Warfield in tne primaries ,wo
yeaip ago and was most bitter against
Warfield in all his speeches. Hence It is
,said that he had every reason to believe
that Smith would support him this vear
for the United States Senate.
Opposition to Marriott.
It is regarded as significant, in this
connection, that the organization leader
in the west end Is opposing T. Leigh
Marriott, a brother-in-law of Senator
Gorman, who aspires to another term in
the lower house of the legislature. Mr.
Marriott has served two terms in the
house of delegates and made a creditable
record.
The first inkling that Marriott was to
be opposed came when the advisory com
mittee met this week and John F.
O'Mara was presented as the candidate
from the nineteenth ward. Objections
were at once made to O'Mara. several
members demanding that Marriott be
chosen.
Each ward is represented on the com
mittee of twenty-four bv one delegate.
The representative of the nineteenth ward
is W. W. Burnett, a close friend of
Police Justice Lodln, the boss of the
west end.
So vigorous was the protest against the
side-tracking of Marriott that the matter
was dropped. But that will not prevent
It being brought up again when Justice
-Loden and the other politicians who
have a hand In the game may be able
to get in their fine work.
I IJ1 cal? he is tur"ed down by the com
j n> J1100 Mx*. Marriott will, he says, carry I
? his fight directly to the people. Under
a recent ruling a candidate must carrv I
the whole district he aspires to represent I
.j . to Kecure a renominatlon. The
old plan provided that it was only neces
sary to get a majority of votes In the
ward he desired to represent. The new
ruling gives the organization unusual
power. Mr. Marriott, however, says that I
he is not displayed by this situation. i
Significance in Hove. j
Friends of Marriott declare tliat It
seems odd that he should be opposed
just at this time when rumors are flying
thick and fast about Senator Gorman. i
The judicial nominations to be made
by both parties are attracting attention.
The democrats ha^ e decided to name I
Judges Charles W. Heuisler and Conwav
. Sams for the supreme bench and in
dorse Judge Dobler (republican) for re
election.
The republicans will name three can
didates for the supreme bench. One of
them will be Judge Dobler, whose term
Is about to expire. His running mates
have not been decided upon, but former
State's Attorney Edward Duffy will
probably be one of the men selected. I
He was state's attorney for Baltimore
city from 1895 to 1899, having been suc
ceeded by Robert M. McLane, who later
became mayor of the city. Duffy's
record as a prosecuting officer was
such as to receive the approval of those
who took part in bringing about a new
order of things in politics In Baltimore
city.
Former State Senator Lewis Putzel and
Assistant United States District Attorney
Morris A. Soper are also being tipped off
as probable candidates. The judicial
nominations will be made in convention I
by both parties, and delegates will be
chosen at the primaries to be held
August 2. j
At the coming session'of the legisla
ture another efTort will be made to se
cure the passage of a pure food and drug
law for Maryland, a state \*lthout such
a law on the statute books. The first
move in this direction came this week
at a meeting of the Baltimore Drug Ey- |
change, when a. resolution to this effect
was passed. '
At the last session of the legislature
all the food and drug manufacturers
advocated the passage of the bill pre
pared by the drug exchange. Because of
a disagreement between the senate and
house as to which should have the execu
tion of the law?the state board of health
or the Maryland Agricultural College?
this bill failed to pass. j
It was declared at the meeting of the
drug exchange that all the food and drug
interests would again be a unljt in urging
the passage of the bill at the next ses
sion of the legislature, and that it was
the intention of the dmig exchange to
put up a vigorous fight to secure the
passage of the bill.
Birds as Scouts.
Sir Evelyn Wood. In f/ondon Gazette.
During the night. July 2-3. before ?h?
battle of Sadowa. a division command
ed by the archduke, retreating before
the Prussian army, had bivouacked
near a town in Bohemia facing north. |
At midnight the archduke, when rest
ing in a peasant's cottage, was awak
ened 1>y tne arrival of a gypsy, who in-!
sisted on seeing him personally-, having
come to report the advance of the
enemy.
The archduke, who spoke Romany
fluently, asked: "How do ypu know?
Our outposts have not reported any
movement."
"TJiat. your highness, is because the
enemy is still some way off."
"Th?jn how do you know?"
The gypsy, pointing to the dark sky
lighted by the moon, observed: "You
see those birds flying over the woods
from north to south?"
"Yes; what of them?"
"Those birds do not fly by night un
less disturbed, j^nd the direction of
their flight indicates that the enemy is
coming this way."
The archduke put l?is division under
arms and reinforced the outposts,

PRIMARY FI6HT TO BE BITTER
PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY DEMO
CRATS VERY BUSY.
Every District Except One Will
Have Organization and Anti-Or
ganization Men on Ballot.
Special Correspondence of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, >ld., July 17. 1000.
Democratic politicians in Prince George
county seem to think the primary fight
next Saturday will be the most bitter in
the history of the party. The organiza
tion forces are led by State Senator Wil
liam B. Clagett, chairman of the county
central committee, and the opposition by
Aquila T. Robinson, for many years chair
mon of the committee. With the excep
tion of Laurel every district in the county
will have organization and anti-organiza
tion candidates on the ballot. Under the
new primary election law any democrat,
on paying the assessment levied by the
county central committee to defray the
expenses of the primary meetings, can
have his name placed on the official bal
lot. The time for filing these applica
tion expired July 8.
. The situation is complicated for the
reason that some of the candidates for
delegates are favorable to Fillmore Beall,
tlie representative of the antl-organiza
tion' forces, for judge, and would also
llkq to vote for Dr. Charles A. Wells of
Hyattsville for the nomination for the
state senate. , The attempt to place a
Beall-Wells delegation on the ticket in
Hyattsville, Dr. Wells' home district, has
partially failed, Thomas H. Lewis and
Thomas Fainter, who sent their applica
tions to Marlboro, having declined to al
low their names to be printed on the
ballot for the reason, it is said, that to
be for Beall for Judge would weaken Dr.
Wells' chances with the Clagett people.
Fight in Vansville District.
Recently a fight has been started in
Vansville district, the home of Fillmore
Beall, led by Harry Ghant, representa
tive of the young democracy of the dis
trict. Mr. Ghant clajms that his delega
tion has at least an even chance to defeat
the Beall delegates. Should the latter
win, however, it is paid that it is not
unlikely that they will be for Dr. Wells
for the senate. The organization people
are claiming fourteen out of the seven
teen districts, the only ones conceded to
the antis being Laurel, Vansville and
Spauldlng.
The following is a complete list of those

ballot in the several districts, the first

Gtrass Widow.
From the London Chronicle.
Tour note on the Australian grasshop
per suggests his relationship to the grass
widow, writes a correspondent, who goes
on to demand the derivation of this last
expression. Some would merely have It
as a slang expression, hut Its appearance
in the marriage register of Halstead,
Essex, as early as 1654, suggests a less
vulgar origin. It is said to be a corrup
tion of grace widow, and dates from the
days when divorces were granted only
by the authority of the church. The wom
an who was so empowered to separate
from her husband was commonly called
a grace widow, and from this the expres
sion gradually gained its present meaning
and spelling.
House Where Cromwell Was Born.
From the London Chronicle.
The Huntingdonshire county council yes
terday decided to purchase as the site for
county buildings Cromwell House, Hunt
ingdon, which' contains the remains of
the house In which the Protector was
born.

A derelict, in the shape of a water

masters off North Barnegat. The dere
lict destroyer Seneca went out to locate
and destroy-the wreck. Though the Sen
eca made diligent search she was unable
to locate the derelict and returned to
New York. It is thought that the vessel
has sunk and is no longer menacing nav
igation.
The revenue cutter Thetis, cruising in
Alaskan waters, according to reports re
ce.ved from the commanding officer of

heat, the officers of the cutter were em
ployed in directing their ship against
heavy floes of ice and opening passages
for merchant vessels. They were finally
liberated and started in clear water for
their destination.
The Olympia, before she met the The
tis, had crushed a hole in her starboard
?bow and had fourteen feet of water in
her forward compartment.

returned to Baltimore and tomorrow will
sail for Oxford, Md.. where she will be
employed in keeping the course clear for
the boating regatta to be held by the
Chesapeake bay boat clubs this week.
This is the first trip the Apache has
made since she was overhauled and wire
less telegraph equipment put aboard.
While here the Apache took out on
short cruises Secretary MacVeagh and a
number of other officials of the Treasury
Department. On these trips the new wire
less outfit was tested and was found to
work satisfactorily. Communication was
maintained with the wireless station at
the navy yard here and with those at
Norfolk and on Tangier Island.
