TO END STRIKE

T
Effort Will c Made to Settle Strut)-
flic by Mediation Gompcrs Asked
lu Cnmc to Cltlcaoo.
Chicago, Aug. 12. Determined
efforts nro now being made to not tie
the stockyards' strike by mediation.
Negotiations begun today bttween the
retail Rtttohcra' nnd Grocera' nsocln
tlon with representatives of several
labor unions, which will undoubtedly
Ixj involved in tlio strike, should it lc
prolonged nuu'l) longer, resulted to
night in tho appointment of n commit
too composed of thoso who attended to
day's meeting, to negotiate with tho
packers tomorrow morning in nn at
tempt to bring about a Joint meuting
between the employers and the striking
unions. It was tho Bentlment of all
who attended today's conference that
should tho meeting be arranged be
tween tho two opposing interests, n
settlement satisfactory to both sides
could be realized.
Meantime, Samuel Gompors, presi
dent of tho American Federation ol
Labor, hoi been summoned from New
York to see If he cannot accomplish
something through mediation. .Mr.
Gomponi will atrive hero Sunday morn
ing. The packers tonight declined to
inako any comment on what, if any
success might bo expected from the
meoting.
"We cannot very well discuss this
matter now," said ono of the packers
representatives tonight. "Wo now
havo our affairs in a better condition
than at any. time einco the striko was
declared, and as for myself, I am tin
ablo to see on what grounds we could
meet the strikers."
Under the direction of .Mayor Har
rison, who was urged to take the step
by a committee composed of labor
leaders and several aldermen, an inves
tigation into the sanitary conditions of
the various packing plants where strike
breakers are being housed ws begun
today, beveral ol tho plants were
visited, but no flagrant violations of
the law were found. Tho investiga
tions will be continued.
Tonight the packer sent a com
munication to Mayor Harrison, deny
ing that they are keeping lodging
houses not in compliance with tho ordinances.

ARMY IS AWAY.
The Russians arc Rctrcatlno North
of Lido Yang.
St. Petersburg, Ang. 12. Again the
chance of a decisive battle between
General Kuropatkin and the command
er of the Japanese army seems to be
disappearing. According to n state
ment issned by the general stall to
night, rains are apain falling over a
wide area of Manchuiia with the pros
pect of impeding operations, but even
more important is the Information
reaching tho Associated Press tonight
from an exceptional source that the
Japanese have once more delayed too
long. General Kuropatkin hue now
'withdrawn the bulk of his army tafely
north of Liao Yang.
According to this information, the
Japanese have about 300,000 men in
the armies operating against Kuropat
kin, rendering It too hazardous for him
to risk a general engagement. Tho gen
eral staff has no information bearing on
the reported presence of a large force of
Japanese at Paithuhl, a place that can
not be located on availablo maps. Tho
report agrees, however, with the gen
eral tenor of the information received
by tho Asaof lated Press and here given,
that General Kuropatkin is already re
treating north of Liao Yang.
The advantages of the new Japanese
base at Nlu (Jhwang in greatly simpli
fying the problem of provisioning their
urrny la fully realized. The rumor
that they are moving up towards Sim
intin, a short distance west of Mukden,
from Nlu Cwang is generally believed.
The appearance of tho Japanese on
the other side of Mukden would almost
pocket General Kuropatkin and ho ro
solved to accept battle with his whole
army at Liao Yang.
New York Firemen Called Out.
Washington, Aug. 12. President
Timothy iiealy, of the International
iirotherhocd of Stationary Firemen,

Twenty-otto years ago thtee little
children went suddenly bereft of father
and mothet they were friendless mid
homeless; hut it wan only one of the
many similar Instances happening
every daj only thtee little children
lelt friendless and homeless; that wuh
all. Hut it was n crucial moment In at
least one life. Kev. J. G, Lometi wits
nt that time pastor of n large church
in Council Muffs, la. This man,
whoso heart wits largo euntigh to llnd n
place for every unfortunate, one, took
there children into his own home,
whom they shared the same leviug,
tender care that wits liestowed upon his
own little ones. It wan not long' be
fore he luarncd of other children who
had Ihvu left to the cold mctcics of a
selfish world. Moved with compas
sion, he took these, also, to his already
overcrowded home. Then came the
tent; money was nettled. He had a
few thousand dollars which he had
raved up for a rainy day. He little
knew what the Master had In Mote for
him; but he was obedient, and when
the news came that other little help
less ones had been left alone, fatherless
and motherless, and thecommsnd came
to take these also, to the ordinary man,
with his house tilled to overflowing anil
a large congregation looking to him to he
fed spiritually, it would have teemed
like an impossibility; not so, however,
with this man; it was enough for hint
to know that his Master approved of it
and bid him to do it. As he stepped
out upon His promises and obeyed the
command togo forward, the way opened
before hint, and when ho had exhausted
hia own competency, never doubting
but that a way would lie provided to
supply their needs, He who owns the
cattle upon a thousand hills moved
upon the hearts of His laithful sub
jects to send of their substam-u that
these little, homeless ones might hu
cared for. Larger quuiters became
necessary, and they weru secured.
From a small beginning, twenty-ono
years ago, the Christian Home has
grown until now about twe hundred
and fifteen children are cared for there,
and two thousand havo been placed in
good Christian families. The real es
tate consists of about twenty-flvu cot
tage and other buildings, all owned
by an organization which has been
formed through the effort of Mr.
Lomcn with a view of making It a per
manent organization.
The scrupulous neatness and order
that pervade the entire Institution,
the loving salutation of "Hello papa!"
that rings out from every quarter as
ho passes) about tho grounds, and tho
remarkable executive ability he dis
plays in oil the management of tlio
affairs of the Home, are sufllsicnt- to
impress eery visitor that U is no ordi
nary man who has been called to this
great and noble work. Children are
taken here from any part of the globe,
and have tho best posaiblo care and
training. You, my readers, wtierevor
you may be, may hae a part In this
grand work. It is a labor of love in
behalf of all homeless, suffering chil
dren everywhere. The children aro
frequently adopted by Christian peo
ple, but are never allowed to go from
the Heme excopting into Christian
fa tn I lies who ore properly vouched for
and families of children are never sep
arated. Tho Christian Home is non-
sectarian, but is heartily endorsed ami
supported by all denominations. It
takes children from every state and it
is not a local affair, but belongs to the
world.
We havo given this brief description
of the Christian Home with tho hope
that all who raed it will become Inter
ested in its welfare. If you have
money which tho Master desires you to
use for such purposes, send it to this
Homo. There Is no Institution that is
more worthy of your gift than this.
