LABOR FEDERATION
.L SUPPORT
MINERS
for Giving Add Discussed
at Meeting in Wash
ington.
Washington, D. C., March 19.—The
American Federation of Labor is pre
paring to give its strongest moral and
financial support to the United Mine
Workers in the latter's impending
straggle with the operators. Plans
tor giving the preferred aid are being
discassed by the executive council of
the federation, which began a meeting
today at the headquarters in this city.
In addition to the question of support
ing the miners the executive council
is to consider a number of other mat
ters of great Importation to the federa
tio*. Legislation affecting wage-earn
ers will be given much attention. Or
ganised labor has decided that now is
the time to strike for the federal legis
lation it haB been seeking for many
years. Realizing that there is a wave
ot anti-railroad, anti-corporation, sen
timent sweeping through Congress,
the advocates of the several measures
designed to better the condition of
workingmen feel that if this class of
legislation is ever to receive favorable
consideration now is the time.
The legislation sought by the var
ious bodies affiliated with the Ameri
can Federation of Labor includes an
employers' liability act, a modified
wU-injunctlon act, federal law limit
ing the hours of labor on railroads to
eight, and an act requiring all rail
roads to install the block signal sys
tem. It will not be a surprise if the
Committee on Judiciary reports some
of these measures favorably, and if it
does the house may pass them. In the
past such legislation has received a
cold reception in the senate, but a
change has come over that body and it
might now be inclined to favorable
action.
GASOLINE EXPLOSION.
Wtau Serfeaely Burned From Ex
piation Caused From Cleaning
Clothes With Gasoline.
Crookston Journal: This afternoon
about 3:30 Mrs. Geo. Q. Erskine was
very seriously and perahaps fatally
bnrned as the result of a gasoline ex
plosion in the Vance block. She was
cleaning some cloth in gasoline and
the friction caused by brisk rubbing
caused the explosion and the pan of
gasoline igniting caused the fire to
spread with great rapidity.
Mrs. Erskine was a mass of flames
and fled to the bath room, where her
shrieks attracted S. W. Vance and
Geo. Stone, who came to the rescue.
Failing to smother the flames with a
coat Mrs. Erskine was laid on the
floor and covered with a rug till the
flames were extinguished.
The extent of her injuries cannot
be stated but she was very seriously
burned about the face, hands and the
upper portions of her body.
The fire started at the door leading
to the hallway, and in an Instant the
stairway leading to the second floor
was a mass of flames. Mrs. W. H.

Brown, who resides on the second
floor, smelled smoke and, rushing to
the door with her infant child, saw
that all retreat was cut off. In a
frenzy she rushed to the window fac
ing the city hall, and not waiting to
think of consequences, smashed the
inside and storm windows with har
hands and shrieked for help. The
fire department by this time was on
the scene and two firemen, rushing
up the back stairway, dashed through
the flames and, seizing the woman
and child, carried them out by a rear
stairway. The woman sustained sev
eral ugly gashes on her hand and arm.
Miss Ellen Johnson and Miss Han
nah Skaug, two sewing girls working
for Mrs. Borsoi, were quite seriously
singed In dashing through the flames
in the hallway to the open air. No
one else was Injured with the excep
tion of S. W. Vance, who received a

Mrs. Erskine.
OLD MEN WANTED.
Anti-Age Limit Society Finds Work
for Them In Chicago.
Employment for old men and others
who have passed the civil service
limit is being found daily 1y the
Anti-Age Society All day long a
stream of stoop-sbouldered gray-hair
ed men who wish to be enrolled as
members pours into the office. Each
man is given a card of membership
and goes out with new hope. The
fee for membership is $1, but the ap
plicant who has $1 'is usually iso
scarce the money consideration gen
erally is waived. Meantime the ex
penses of the society are being de
frayed by its two founders, J. F.
Downey, president, and Benjamin
Giroux, secretary and treasurer.
The curious visitor looking for a
stream of human wrecks will be dis
appointed. No tattered throng, no col
lection from the world's back alleys
comes to the society. Laborers are
few. .There is work enough of this
sort for the man who can do it and for
the man who can work and will not
the society has no time. While no
class or condition of men is excluded
except those manifestly unfit through
personal habits to hold any position,
external circumstances have narrowed
down the efforts of the society to
what may be called the semi-profes
sional class. Book keepers, account
ants, clerks, salemen, engineers, all
come, each with his story of positions
long held and many holding good refer
ences, but all out of work and hope
less in the face of a demand for young
er men. Most of these men have
the side stoop which is common to
bookkeepers. Their hands are as
steady as ever and they assert their
ability to compete with any of the ris
ing generation in rapid and accurate*
work. Few admit having lost a posi
tion through inefficiency or because of
any inability to keep up. "It is just
the craze fad for younger men," said
one of them. "But for that we would
all be at work."
Salesmen abound. They can well
sell anything, they say. Some of them
have sold nearly everything. They
are not afraid to work on commission,
they say, if some one will only give
them a paying offer. The trouble
is, they claim, that a man with a good
business proposition insists on young
men to push it, "even if he is and old
man himself," one of them added.
Clerks, floor walkers general and ex
pert accountants, locomotive engineers
and a lot of miscellaneous callings
make up the remainder of the ap
plicants. Nearly all of the men' are
clean and neat, and most of them look
capable enough. But the fatal gray
hair and the thick lenses of their eye
glasses seal their fate in many bus
iness houses, they say.
"We will do with them anything we
•can," said Mr. Dowey today. These
men are in no sense objects of charity
nor are they particular about Hue
honest means which they may have
to adopt to earn their living. Our
hardest problem so far has been the
case of a railroad engineer. The man
was apparently perfectly able to do
his work he claimed that no criticism
had ever been made on it, but there
was no hope for him so far as the
railroads were concerned. Luckily,
we found him a place as an engineer
in a new flat building. That was the
worst yet." added Mr. Downey, as a
powerfully built man of 55 years old
came to the desk. The new applicant
proved to be a former lake captain,
whose salary in the good days had
been $150 a month. It all went he
said, to take care of his children. Now
they are married and could not, he
said, be expected |to support their
parents.
An Acting Corporal.
(From the Boston Herald.)
Colonel J. W. Phelps (afterwards
brigadier general) at the commence
ment of the civil war commanded the
First Vermont regiment. He was a
West Point graduate, an excellent sol
dier, but very eccentric. About May
20, 1861, he was sent with his own
regiment and the Fourth Massachu
setts to occupy Newport News.
The new volunteers were very
"fresh," and annoyed him by their ig
norance of the rules of military serv
ice, and especially of military etiquette.
He received a communication address
ed to him as acting brigadier general,
instead of colonel commanding post.
A few days afterwardsAe meta squad
of men in command of a soldier who
showed no badge of rank, and asked
him what his rank was. The man re
plied that he was an acting corporal.
"Yes," said^ Phelps, "acting cor
porals, acting sergeants, acting lieu
tenants, acting captains, acting majors,
acting lieutenant colonels, acting
colonels, acting brigadier generals,
and you are all acting like the devil."
He detested unnecessary display in
uniforms, and meeting some soldiers
of a New York regiment that had just
arrived in camp, who wore a zouf/e
uniform gorgeously decorated with
scarlet cord, he exclaimed: "Hello!
What part of the show are you—circus
riders?"
Chicago Tribune The caller stepped
up to the desk of the information edi
tor and loolced over his shoulder.
"You write for the paper, hey?" he
said. "What do you do?"
"I answer the fool questions," re
sponded the man from the desk.
MOST STAND TRIAL
FOR MURDER OF
WIFE
Husband Who it is Claimed in
Fit of Anger Killed
Wife.
AtMoelntcd Pram to The Evening Time*.
Rochester, N. Y., March 19.—Charg
ed with murder in the first degree
Vincent Love, a young man barely 25
years of age, was placed on trial in
the supreme court today. Love is
charged with one of the most brutal
crimes in the records of the local po
lice. The afternoon of April 29 last
he is said to have had a quarrel with
his young wife over a dressmaker's
bill, following which he left the
house. It is claimed that Love had
been drinking at the time. In the
evening he returned to his home. He
found his wife rocking her baby to
sleep, and, it is alleged, without any
intimations of his intentions, seized a
butcher knife from the table and
plunged it into her abdomen. The
woman died before assistance arrived.

READY-MADE HOMES ARE
ALWAYS IN DEMAND
People of democratic tastes, who
like to "live in a house," but not in a
lenesome one—solve the problem
easily and to their profit by renting
furnished rooms to pleasant people.
Isn't it better to live in a good
house, with a few lodgers who pay
your entire rent for you a little to
ward your household expenses, than
to live in a small apartment, alone,
with expenses that grow harder and
harder to meet?
If you advertise PERSISTENTLY
you may, at a nominal cost, keep
these "READY-MADE HOMES" al
ways tenanted by THE RIGHT KIS'D
OF PEOPLE, and the somewhat bitter
problem of HOW TO MAKE BOTH
ENDS /MEET will give you less con
cern.
When you set aside a few rooms in
your house as "ready-made homes"
and begin to advertise them you will
be surprised to find how many of the
"nice sort" of folks live in furnished
roomsr-and you will be surprised to
find out how easy a matter it is to
wipe out the terrors of your own "rent
day."

Reflections of a Bachelor.
New York Press: Women would be
crying nearly all the time if it didn't
make their noses so red.
A girl calls it flirting when she
thanks a man for glvihg her a seat
in a street car.
There is a lot of fun in making
people believe you are having more
than you are.
After a woman has tried nine times
to marry off her daughter she suc
ceeds by letting the girl herself try.
You are getting sp particularly
proud of having been told how much
the baby looks like you when the way
he howls makes him look like a piece
of raw beefsteak, shewed around the
edges.
Washington Star: "Lady," 6aid
Meandering Mike, "I'd like to trust to
yer generosity fur somethin' to eat."
"You're the same man that I gave
a meal to day before yesterday."
"I am. I couldn't keep away from
