Highest of all in Leavening Power Latest U. S. Gov't Report ABSOLUTELY PURE M'BRIDE OR ANOTHER THE QUESTION THAT AGITATES THE FEDERATION OF LABOR. The Election of Officers at the Approach lug Oonrentlon In New Vork Is a Lead ing Topic In Labor Circles Seope of the' Federation. Labor oircles are beginning to discuss the coming convention of the American Federation of Labor, which ia to begin in the city of New York on Dec. 9. Time was, and not so many years ago either, when the general assembly of the Enigbts of Labor was far and away the most important labor gathering of the year, bnt nowadays the lead is taken by the convention of the federation, the membershin of the unions affiliated with it being not less than a million, while JOHW M'BRIDE. from one canse and another the mem bership of the Knights of Labor has been greatly reduced. The coming convention is sure to be a spirited one. Many qnestions are com ing up, the disposition of which will have mnch to do with the fntmre of the organization. Possibly nothing more important will need to be considered than the choice of president. Last year -at Denver John McBride, who for years had been head of the organized miners, was chosen in place of Samuel Gompers, who was the first president of the fed eration as at present organized,and had , served continuously until that time. The first convention of the federation was held in Pittsburg, in "ivember, 1881, when the title of "The i leraticn of the Organized Trades and Labor Un ions of the United States and Canada" was taken. Knights of Labor assemblies and trade unions were equally repre sented, and it was understood that both forms of organization should be pre served and that the two should work baud ia hand for the perfection of unity among labor organizations. About 260, 000 workers were represented, and since that time conventions have been held annually. Z For awhile, however, the federation did not increase rapidly in strength. This was no doubt in great measure due to the booming growth of the Knights of Labor. Since the Knights began to decline the federation has increased year ly with great rapidity. The points of difference between the Knights and the unions affiliated with the federation, though not generally understood, are runny and radical. All of these need not be entered into here, but one of the most striking lies in the fact that while the general assembly of the Knights is a strictly secret meeting, the convention of the federation is open to spectators. Another point is that while the chief purpose of the Knights is ostensibly the revolution of economic conditions, that of the federation's unions is the gradual changing of conditions along evolution ary instead of revolutionary lines, while the immediate object of the organiza tion is the securing of better wages, shorter hours and other material advan tages 'or the working people. Between the Knights and the federation a decided antagonism exists, and more than one contest between workingmen and their employers has resulted in disaster to the men through this antagonism. No doubt the bad feeling is much fostered by the somewhat pronounced socialistic ten dencies manifested of late by the Knights of Labor which are not indorsed by the federation. Another important point of difference In addition to those named is this : The Kuights of Labor is a highly centralized organization. The various trade and local assemblies of the Knights are gen erally supposed to obey the orders of the general executive board, issued through the genera master workman. It is not so with the unions making up the Amer- SAMtTEL GOMPERS. lean Federation. They are not bound to obey any one, but each acts for itself. In fact, the federation is what its name Implies a banding together or federa tion of a number of national, interna tional and other unions for the oommon good, each union being entirely auton omous in the conduct of its own affairs, but co-operating with the other unions for the benefit of all. The relation of the several unions to one another is al most exactly similar to the relation of the different commonwealths making up the union of states. The president of the American Federation does not order ttrikaa Ha and tb other chief ofiioen who form the executive oouncil may be and frequently are asked to give advice when strikes are proposed. But what they have to say is always simply ad visory and in nowise binding, while it is often disregarded. But whenever a strike is approved by the executive conn oil, as soon as it is ordered by the union directly interested, all the affiliated un ions join in supporting it by money con tributions and otherwise. The executive council may lay a boy cott when asked to do so by an affili ated union, but before doing this must investigate the cause of the request and may refuse at discretion. It is expected that all unions will respect a boycott when ordered, but there is no penalty for failure to do so, since to force obedi ence in that matter would be to disre gard the federation's fundamental prin ciple. It should be added, however, that k union would hesitate long before de ciding to disregard a request for co-operation in a boycott, since such action would render it liable to lack of support by other unions in case it should ask for assistance. The failure of Samuel Gompers to win re-election last year at the Denver convention was unquestionably a great surprise both to him and the majority of his supporters. Opposition had been developed, it is true, at previous con ventions, but he had always been too strong for his opponents, and it was sup posed that he would continue so at Den ver. Those who were against him in previous yrshad generally been of the more radical element which has not al ways been satisfied with his course, and bad Mr. Gompers and his friends un derstood that in certain circumstances Other elements than the radical ones would combine with them against him they might have so arranged matters as to re-elect him after all It should be stated to the credit of Gompers and his friends that they accepted defeat in good part ; that they are as good f ederation ists now as ever, and that they have supported President McBride during the past year with perfect loyalty. Whether Mr. Gompers will be unan imously supported for election to his old place by those who have supported him in the past it is hard to say, but there is no doubt of there being a lively con test for the presidency. McBride will have some very strong support for re election, as a matter of course, and there will probably be several candidates in the field. In the American Federation of Labor, as in tbe United States generally, lo cality has something to do with senti ment. Thus, the west is more radical than the east, and it is claimed by those p. J. m'guxbb. who opposed the election of Mr. Mo Bride that bad the convention been held elsewhere than in a far western city last year the result of the balloting would bave been different. As the convention will be held in New York, the very cen ter of the conservative element, for the first time this year, it is believed by those making up that element that they will stand a much better chance of win ning than they did last year. The candidates who have been talked of include men from -both east and the west. The name of Mr. Gompers is, of course, a prominent one in all discus sions of the federation's presidency, but there are some who hold that P. J. Mo Quire of tbe carpenters, a Philadelphia man who has built up his own organiza tion in masterly fashion, would make an excellent president. The carpenters would back him solidly, and they have 200 votes in a total of about 3,500. Mr. MoGuire is a clear and forcible speaker, and is well known in labor circles gen erally. Some there are who favor Joseph Vallentine of tbe iron molders, and he would probably be a strong candidate, since, although he is acceptable to many easterners, he now lives in San Fran oisco, and is therefore popular in the west. The iron molders have 150 votes in the convention. Another man who is highly spoken of is William Prescott of the International Typographic?' union, who ia now serving his fourth .to as president of that organization, and is the first of its presidents to be elected beyond the second term. The printers bave 850 votes in the convention. Mr. Prescott lives in Indianapolis. August McCraith of Boston, another printer, is likewise spoken of with great favor, and in the opinion of many, J. B. Lennon, secretary of the Journeyman Tailors' International union, would make a good president. He is now treasurer of the federation, and although his union Is not so large as the unions represented by other possible candidates mentioned above, he stands extremely well with all as a safe and fair minded man who has passed through a varied and extensive experience in the labor movement. Mr. Lennon now lives in New York, but as the headquarters of the tailors are likely to be removed to the west, and as he was originally from Denver, he may prop erly be considered a western man. Still one more candidate who stands well with every one is Daniel Harris of the cigar makers, now president of the New York State Federation of Labor, whose onion has 800 votes in the convention. M. L Dexter. Brunettes In Favor In Paris. A whim of the season has been the vogue which brunettes bave attained in Paris. Dark eyed women have had it all their own way there during the past maimer, and blonds have been pushed iota the background of popular 'aver. IMPERIAL MILLIONS By JULIAS HAWTH0BH& JOopyrlfht, U01, by American Pram - UOD.J This evidently pleased the count very mnch, and put him completely at his ease. He sat down on the little sofa in the window. Olympia remained at her easel, but laid away her palette and brushes, and they were soon chatting to gether in the language of Paris with the freedom and vivacity of old - acquaint ances. Olympia did not find the count the stiff and rather portentous being that she had pictured him from Tom's description. "And is this your first visit to Amer ica?" she inquired at length. "I feel already so much at home that I can hardly think it is my first," he re plied, "and I am nearly decided to make this my home. France is .not, or ever will be, the France she was." "Then, you are an imperialist? But we have no emperors here!" "Frenchmen are not like Americans; they need the strong hand. The De Lisles were ' Frenchmen generations be fore the first Napoleon left Corsica. They were monarchists; but at present there is still less hope for the king than for the emperor. As for me, I was with Na poleon during the war with Germany, and I owe him much." "You knew Napoleon himself? Did you like him?" "I owe him much," repeated the count. "I cannot criticise him. He was a great adventurer, and he conquered fortune for a time." "But what did he do especially for your , "Well," said the count, hesitating a little, "he gave me the Cross of the Legion, and he gave me my title. My father was a plain gentleman." "What had yon done to win the cross?" The count smiled. "I was not a great soldier," he said, "but I had good luck. Opportunities came in my way. Yon re member that Bazaine fought at the battle of Gravelotte, near Metz, on the eigh teenth of August." . . Olympia nodded. "And he shut him self up in Metz the same night!" "Yes; I see you are not ignorant of these things. Well, then, he wished to send news to MacMahon, who was some where to the west of us it might be fifty miles or it might be a hundred. It was really a hundred, as it turned out, for I found him at Rheims, and I lost another thirty miles by wandering." "You bore the dispatches from Bazaine to MacMahon. then?" "I did, and I had an unpleasant time of it. My first horse was killed; my sec ond was drowned; I was myself wounded slightly in the leg and in the arm with one thing and another. I was three days on the road. I reached MacMahon's camp on the twenty-second pretty tired. I handed in my dispatches. Napoleon and the marshal were in the room to gether. - MacMahon questioned me. The dispatch said that Bazaine meant to break through the investing armies un der Prince Frederick and Albert of Sax ony and gain Chalons by a northern route. I said that I did not believe he would succeed. The enemy were too strong and were constantly re-enforced. Napoleon listened and kept his eyes on me. "What should we do, then, Mr. de Lisle?" he asked me. "March to save Paris at once!" I said. Napoleon glanced at MacMahon and. nodded. But, as I learned later, the minister of war in Paris had sent orders to move on Metz; MacMahon hesitated; Napoleon, wht was ill, would not decide, and in the endr-as no doubt yon remember, made moiselle, we set out for the Mease. It was when that order was given that France was defeated. Sedan was merely the corollary. "And were you at Sedan also?" "Yes; I saw the end. When MacMahon got his wound it was still early in the morning; he gave his command to Duo rot, who was in his right senses, and perceived that our only hope was to break through to the westward and gain Mezieres. But the French were doomed. DeWimpffen, who had been appointed MacMahon's contingent successor by or ders from Paris, was mad enough to not only countermand Ducrot's orders, but to prepare to pierce the enemy's lines to the eastward and march for Metz. You may imagine, mademoiselle, the con fusion. It soon became consternation, and, with some, panic Meanwhile the Germans encircled us; from the sur rounding hills their cannon played on us, converging. We could do nothing; what we could we tried. In the morn ing I had, at Napoleon's request, headed our line at Daigny, and held it "lor two hours, and later, when Donay at last gave way before the Fifth and Eleventh corps at Floring and we were all being driven in upon our center, I joined in the charges of our Seventh cavalry, and I believe it was there that I won the cross. At any rate, I was pretty badly hurt there, and late in the afternoon, while I lay inside the fortress, listening to the cannon and wondering if any one would be left alive by morning, the em peror came in. "He looked as if he had been wounded to death himself; and so he had, though not by sword or bullet. His heart and spirit were broken. But he saluted me courteously, and said: 'We are ruined, M. de Lisle. I am about to order the white flag to be hoisted. But I wish to say to you that it is not your fault that France falls today. You saw the rem edy, and urged it; you have . also ex posed your life like a brave man, and in a manner to effect the best results. You have done well, and I thank you. In an hour I shall' cease to be emperor; mean while, let me bestow upon you what is in my power to bestow." He then gave me tbe cross from his breast, and put in my hand a folded paper the patent of nobility. I have observed your con duct,' he said, 'and provided this recog nition of it. Had destiny been kind to us you should have been great in France.'" "It was very nice of him," remarked Olympia. "No wonder you like suoh a man." - . - "I entreated him to go to America," continued the count, "and .offered to undertake, to bring him here. I said: 'When these troubles are over France will ask for you again.' But he answered that it was too late. 'France will never forgive me this defeat,' he said; "and, be sides, I am a dying man. I once thought there might be a future for me and had taken steps to assure it But all that is past hope. I shall retire to England. Do you go to America, if you will, and seek tbe fortune that I have lost.' Other tbingi be told me; among them secret j known only to himtsjf. ?st l wear you, mademoiselle, with so long a story. " But Olympia had' been deeply inter ested. Beneath an outward quietude of speech and manner there was in Count de Lisle a suppressed fire and emphasis that fascinated the attention and sum moned pictures before the imagination. Fixing her eyes upon his strong, reserved features Olympia wondered at the at traction he had for her. And again, when she looked away, she had a notion that he was somehow less a stranger than he appeared. Some natures exer cise a mutual magnetism over each other, so that when they meet it is as if they had known each other before. Olympia's fine organization made her susceptible to impressions that had no existence for ordinary- people. The ef fect, in this instance, was to incline her to reserve. A young maiden instinctive ly resists whatever, threatens to subdue her, and, moreover, in Olympia's mem ory, the figure of Keppel Darke remained as something sacred, not to be disturbed. "How shall you amuse yourself in New York?" she asked, breaking a short silence. "I have made some plans," he said; "but the first thing is to make the ac quaintance of the people. - That I must do quickly, for this winter I mean to give a ball at my new house, and every one who is anybody must be there. Af ter that I shall be at home and can at tend to my own business. I am going to build a school of art." Olympia immediately forgot her hesi tations. "That's good news!" she ex claimed. "There in nothing I could de sire more. But what will be the plan of it?" "I knew you were fond of art," ob served the count, looking curiously at her. "I will not say your little pictures are beyond criticism, but there is some thing in them that I like, and that ren ders them very valuable to me. But I didn't know that your interest in the ad vancement of art lay so near your heart." "I once had a very dear friend who was an artist, and I was thinking more of him than of myself." She drew a sighing breath, but did not blush. "I can imagine what he would have wished, and I should be glad to see it done." . "This friend is not now living?" said the count gently. "He died nearly three years ago." "And vou still think of him and wish to see his dreams realized?" The count spoke these words in an undertone, and rather as if communing with himself than addressing Olympia. "It will give me pleasure, mademoiselle," he con tinued, in another voice, "to know that in carrying out my projects I am also fulfilling the desires of one who was dear to you." She had listened with rising color and sparkling eyes. "It would be glorious!" she cried, pressing her hands together. "But can it be doner "Many a poorer man than I could do as much as this," he replied. "There ia capital enough in this country engaged m spreading industries and developing resources. Civilization can spare me what I need for this hobby of mine; and perhaps a future generation will think me less unwise than the present one. The count had become moved beyond his wont by the train of thought he was indulging, and had risen from his chair, and was pacing up and down the room. At this juncture his attention happened to be attracted to a portrait that hung in an alcove at the left of the window. It was an admirable likeness of Olym pia herself. J "Ah!" he exclaimed, stopping short. He remained silent and motionless for several moments, but finally said, in an indifferent tone: "That is a good work. Is it your own?" : . . "Oh, no. I cannot paint like that," she replied. "That was painted by my friend, the artist. It was the last thing he did before his death. "A good work," repeated the count. "Are you willing to dispose of it? You can name your own price for it. Frank ly, I have taken a fancy to it. "1 cannot sell it;" said Olympia. "It is the most precious thing to me in the world." The count continued to look at the portrait, but his face slowly reddened. "You will pardon me, mademoiselle," he said in a low voice. "I had not sup posed that you had" he hesitated "that you had consecrated yourself to a memory. Our friends are dear to us while they remain with us we love them but when they are gone, and years have passed since their departure, the sentiment becomes less controlling. It is three years, you say, since this man died. -May I say that it seems to have been a remarkable fnendshipr "It was not a common friendship, Count de Lisle, and there was never any one like Keppel Darke. If yon knew what he" "Keppel Darkef interrupted the count. '1 have heard the name. Yes, it was your friend Mr. Bannick who spoke of him. A sad story, indeed. He killed Harry Trent, an old acquaintance of my own. And you were his friend, made moiselle? I can see that he possessed talent, but that he deserved your regard that seems strange!" , . - "Count de Lisle," said Olympia, rising up in angry indignation which she found it hard to control, "you don't know what you are saying, and that is your only ex cuse. Keppel Darke died an innocent man. He was not my friend only; I loved him. I told him so when I last saw him, and if he were alive I should be now his wife. ' That portrait is the last thing he painted, it is the only thing of his that is left to me. Do you think I would part with it? But you did not know or yon would not have dared to speak so!" The Count de Lisle listened with his head bent, and without answering he moved to the window and stood looking out. After a while he turned and leaned with his back against the sill. "Mademoiselle,", he said, "I 'am glad to believe that Keppel Darke was inno cent. I do believe it, for I am sure that you could not have loved a man who was capable of such a crime; but Mr. Ban nick told me he was not executed. Are you certain that he is dead?" "His body was found chained to the officer who was taking him to prison. Oh, if there were any doubt!" She pressed her hands together and her lips trembled. "Of course there can, be none. But had he lived you would have been his wifer She covered her face with her hands, and then dropped into her chair and leaned her head against the back of it. fTO BB COHTHTCKD.

The Baker's Task a Hard One He Soon Breaks Down and Has to Desert His Occupation A. Well-Known Baker Talks With a Reporter. Examiner. San Francises, Col. In speaking of the physioal endur ance which is required of bakers as a olass. Mr. Louis Coppola, of 969 Har vard street, San Francisco, took oc casion to say that many of them break down under the severe strain of their work. The most vital point of endur ance is the back. The men have to bend over the long troughs in which the dough is mixed. - The work is com paratively light until the dough begins to thicken, but then it becomes a con tinuous process of lifting and throwing the heavy mass in a trough containing three hundred or four hundred pounds of dough. It necessitates the employ ment of almost herculean strength to properly mix the dough. "I gave way under the strain of suoh work," said Mr. Coppola. "It affected my kidneys, just as it does those of many others who follow the trade. I began to experience pains in the small of my back. At first they were periodical, but they afterwards became more frequent and finally it be came so that I suffered from them not only while I was working but when I was at leisure. They would seize upon me while I slept and cause me hours of painful wakefulness. I soon saw that I was being unfitted for my work, so I began taking medicine for the relief of the complaint. It was all to no avail, however, until I purchased a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I did not take the pills in the confidence that they would in any way relieve me of my suffering, but I bought them simply to see if the many reports of their marvelous power were true. I was 'soon convinced, for before I had taken very many of them the pains in the region of my kidneys be gan to be lessened, and before I had taken a full box I had been entirely relieved. I knew no more wakeful nights, no more painful exertions while at work. In fact I was a new man, and I owe it all to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. . "My Bister, Mrs. A. Duncan, has been a sufferer from female weaknesses for some time. She has gone about in a feort of moping, listless way, with no energy for any kind of exertion. When she saw the great good which had been done me by Williams' Pink Pills she determined to take some herself. The result has been very favorable. She has gained strength, is as lively as a young girl, and in fact says she feels as though she were ten years younger than she really is." W Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are sold in boxes (never in loose form, by the dozen or hundred) at 60 cents a box, or six boxes for $ 2. 50, and may be had of all druggists or directly by mail from Dr. Williams Medioine Company, Schenectady. N. Y. , . Marie de Medici. Marie de' Medici, the second wife of Henry IV, who married her in 1600, a year after his divorce from Margaret of Valois, was an Italian beauty, petite and dark. She was hot tempered, and her intolerance of her husband's infideli ties caused constant domestic bickering. Her voice was shrill, and when angry she raised it almost to a scream, so that when the king and queen were engaged in a domestic argument everybody in the house knew all about it. For Females Only.
