Thu fact cannot be disputed that many children of union primers are an nually cast upon the wnrld through tho death of one or hoth of the parents, as the many .subscription lists hung up vcuriy iu the printing u dices for the f of widows or cniluren show. Though it must b acknowledged that printers always display a most liberal spirit in contributing toward deserv-ing ci.se, nt best such relief is only tem-porary in its eM'eel, and iu a very siioil space of tiinii the kiiileiers are in as bud a condition us ever.

A split has occurred between tho two labor yrgauizations in the coke regions of Pennsylvania, the Knights of Labor and the Miners' Protective knion. The Knights of Labor held a meeting at which the Protective union was ex-cluded. How He KxprcsHed IU In a thriving villag of Oxford county ftro peoplo who still enjoy relating a little incident illustrative of tho confusion likely to fall upon tho stranger to our languago who uses synonyms indiscrimi-nately, The pastor of tho leading cliurch had mado arrangements to exchange with a good Gorman brother of the same denomination. Having himself been a witness to Homo ludicrous mistakes of that worthy, tho minister was not with-out a feeling of uneasiness. The German having arrived in (ho vil-lag- o Saturday was courteously invited to a pleasant gathering near the parson-age. The elite of tbe town wero pres-ent. All went well with our German friend until bo was introduced to tho beautiful Miss Howard, whoso match-less complexion was tho pride of tho vil-lage. Feeling that such beauty deserved sonio recognition, find wishing to com-pliment the beautiful stranger, the Ger-man exclaimed with bis beaming ad-miration, "Why, f rank-in-, what a beau-tiful hide yoQ have!" Lewiston JournuL human efforts are impotent concurrauco of the church. Now as ever mens relations towards each other as individuals or parts of society must have tho sanction of the old authority.' There is a general caution, that the people ought not to rebel against tho condition of life iuto which Uiey hae been born, as it would seem to bo a criticism on their part, of liod's wisdom. The pope lakes no stock iu any of the principles or theories of socialists Had yet iu a later paragraph he says this: "Tho state ought to watch over the puritv. morals and interior order of families, tho safe keeping of religion, justice and moderation, and tho eiptal division of public charges. Tho larger the general prosperity tho less will the workers seek recourse to exceptional means to ameliorate their conditions." It would be almost impossible for any socialist to give a clearer exposition of his belief tiiati that. The encyclical will therefore dolight the socialists, wtio will accuse his holiness of believ-ing in their principles without knowing what they are. There are many things which prove tht the pope's heart beats iu sympathy with tho proletariates in their light against wrongs which are practiced upon them. ".Shorter hauds and fair wages are necessary to the health and education necessary to make good citi-zens. The poor have the same natural rights as tho rich and no man has the morjil right lo be an oppressor bteauso he has the power." Those sentiments are so fair that they ought to meet tbe cordial endorsement ot everyone. The Utah federated trades and labor council held a very interesting and har-monious meeting iu the Plumbers' hall last evening. Tho following report from tho several trades was submitted: The carpenters reported a number of men out of employment, but they look for lively times in a few weeks, when work will be pushed on the Ontorio hotel and other largo building'. The carpenters' union is iu a pro.sperous condition. The lathers' union report all their men at work and the prospects good for ihe future. Lathers out of employ-ment should join the union at once. The Tin, Sheet Iron and Cornice Makers union have a number of men out of work owing to the fact that out-siil-contractor are coining in aud cut-ting prices, thereby injuring the busi-ness of the local trade by doing inferior work anil employing inferior workmen. Tho Cigar Makers union reports everything in a nourishing condition and are making preparations to make a raid on the Chinese and tenement bouse scab cigars which are now to be found in a number of the prominent saloons, whoclaim to be in accord w ithVtnionism. The trades will soon make it hot for these parties. The Typographical union reports everything lovely and tho new scale satisfactory. The Plumbers union is generally con-sidered the strongest union in the city, there not being a scab in town. This is tho pi umbers dull season and there- - fore some if the tvrn are out nf employ-ment, but tho boys baire no complaints lo make and will" wait for the "good times coming " The boys are hot against the discrimination in favor of outside contractors, especially as to tho 1'rovo insane asylum. The Plumbers union are to be congratulated on the handsome ball they have lilted up on Second South street. It is the finest hall in the city and shows the enterprise of that union. F.leht Hoar Ir. Wo aro living in tho second epoch of the economic revolution; the third may bo precipitated as suddenly as that of the war of tho revolution or the war of tho Union. Protestation precedes organization, and organization precedes action. Thoso who read history with the eyc of the present can foresee tho future. Tho economic or industrial pystein has been revolutionized on the sido of capi-tal, and will be revolutionized on the side of labor. Tho question tho present and near future is called upon to answer is, "How shall this revolution lo accom-plished, by force of arms or forte bf argument';" ... ? The eight honr movement is tbe peace-ful method; tho defeat of labor legisla-tion by capital controlled congresses and legislative bodies is an invitation to re-sort to arms. Wealth, opportunity nnd power have slipped through the fingers of tho masses because they bave never known enough to hold on to their owu.or to grasp what was theirs to have. The genius of the ago is concentrated upon tho problem of how to save time. Labor saving machinery ami all of its attendants of improved methods, as well as nf chemistry and of steam and of electrical appliances, are the materialized thoughts of how to have time. It is be-cause of this service of genius to wealth that tho power of control rests with tho wealthy. Tho eight hour movement is the harnessing of this genius of the ago to the chariot of labor. Ho who is mas-ter of bis timo is master of himself. Wlicu tlie masses lira wi.so enough to control their timo they will control tho world. Eight hours is the giant stride of labor toward her sovereign right to rule. The American Federation of Labor is greater in stutosntamhip than congress. The miners in their movement for eight Lours aro wiser than the colleges. It is well to cry one against monopoly, bnt the greatest monopoly is tho monop-oly of time. Ho who is compelled to soil bis time at the command of another is not fit to rule. Wo want moro wealth, moro health, more opportunity, more power. They are ours when wo make a grand, su-premo, united effort to control our time. Eight hours means moro wages to fill who work, less profit to those who live on tlie labor of others, less forced idle-ness, more dignity to labor, fewer rich idlers, through the resjiect for labor. Helping tho miners gain eight hours helps the cotton operatives and the tene-ment house slaves. Eight hours coming quickly may avert the threatening dan-gers. A st rike for eight hours is a strike for peace; its success means that the 19th of April of our next epoch shall not be as tho marching forth of brave armed men to resist oppression, ns in 1775, or to save the Union, as in 1801, but it shall bo as tho marching forth of the iieople, with songs, to hail the dawn of the stim-uli r sun of universal peace, prosperity and good will to man. Huston. Gko. E. IIcIveiu Tom Mann. Speaking of tho selection of Tom Mann as a member of tho British labor com-mission, a writer in The Labor World Bays; Barrin.g that of5 John Burns, it is the best that could bo made. Tom Mann is one of tho half dozen men who will be remembered when niot of us will not even have left the shadow of a name. Ho is that rare and fiuo combination, a thinker and a worker. I know no man to whom it is a greater pleasure to talk, who knows the practical side of indus-trial questions more thoroughly, or who possesses a keener or stronger intellect. He comes from tho workers. IIo labored as a pit boy in the depths, and bo carries on his wrists tho marks of that early toil, and there is hardly a phase of tho laboring man's life of which lie has not soma acquaintance. He sought employ-ment in the roughest departments of Messrs. Bnmner's chemical works in order to find out tho truth as to the lot of the employes, and Muck at his self im am Cans, of Complaint ot Tint c.

"Mines of Tintie," which stated that the Mi-ners' union complained that many of its prominent members were discharged because of the prominent part taken by Ihein iu the la'" difference with the ullicers of tho . unpanies w ho kept stores and boardiug houses. Neither tho Miners' union nor the people here have had any dilliculty or cause of com-phii-against the milling 'companies, whose boards of directors acied not only justly, but generously, when tho true situation here was fully explaiued to them. Indeed, it would be unrea-sonable to expect them to act other-wise, since they are by far the largest gainers by tiie change which has taken place. The Mammoth Miuingcouipatiy has practically conceded the just and reasonable demand made by the .Miners' union, as no man has been discharged for leaving tho company boarding house since the committee wailed on the board of directors ot" that company. Yesterday evening about eighty men were discharged by( that company, but for causes not connected with the boarding house. The dis-charged men were selected indiscrim-inately from thoso who had leu the boardaig house, and those who had not, those who are union men and those who are not. Hut a few remained in tlie boarding house w ho could not get other accommodations. But two men. so far as known, have been discharged for the part taken by them iu the late strike T hey are the presi-dent. John A. Gallagher, and t, John lUrdwien. Tho latter had worked but threo davs fur wages since last September, having been pros-pecting nearly all that time. In the interest of fair play, I am yours respectfully.

In connection with the home for aged aud disabled union printers, which is beiug located at Colorado Springs, Colorado, says the Pacific L'uion Printer, there is one thing which ought to be thoroughly considered at the coming session of the international body it is the practicability of estab-lishing an asylum for orphans of union printers iu connection with the home. It would not require a much greater ex-penditure to provide for this, while it would bo. a much easier task to raise ihe necessary funds for the maintenance of the institution. Were such a scheme adopted, it would no doubt meet with the approval of every union printer in The Brewers union is getting in good nhapeand will soon have matters in good working order. 4 Painters union, No. !2U7 is booming at the present tune with pleuty of work jor all their men, and the membership is constantly increasing. - The Brick and Sione Masons, one of the largest unions in tha city is in the best of shape ami havo good prospects for a fair seasuns work.

Their prospects are good for tho season. Tho hodearriers aro mm ing steadily along and commanding good wages, although there is a surplus of men. They feel encouraged and will stick to it. The iron moulders are solid and most of their men employed at good wages. They havo a strong union nfjd are gen-erally in gooil condition. i The Barber's union are making it hot for the scabs at present, and say with the assistance of the trades they will wipe out the opposition. j The Clerks' union recently organized is growing rapidly and the public will soon hear from them. v All the other unions in tho city are in fair condition, but there are surplus men for all the tra Iss and outside me-chanics bad better keep away from the city. A number of inquiries were made at the meeting last night as to what had oecome of the resolutions sent to tbe city council sometime ago. and it is generally undersood that they have gone to the waste basket, Some of the working men are agitat-ing the organizing of the third party in Utah and adopting the platform of the convention held in Cincinnati a few days ago. They begin to think that none of the parties at present in Utah will give them a recognition and that 'public work anil contracts are, con-stantly going to outside parties who have no interests iu the territory but what they can get out of it. 'I he plat-form of the third party at Cincinnati seems to cover Ihe ground. A committee was appointed at lest night's meeting to present a set of res-olutions to Governor Thomas. I'opa Leo'.

The Jane lladiog veil, which is of im-mense si.e, edged with lace and gath-ered slightly around the lower part, seems to bo a great favorite, eipeeially when worn with big hats. Mrs. Adolph Ladanburg wears one like this, and it looks very chio on the lovely society matron. Miss Sally Hargous dotes on red veils, and when drawn over her clear brunette skin they are especially be-coming. Miss Amy Hend wears reili of th. palest shade of blue, to light, in fact, that they ratiuir resemble a violet gray, wnile Miss Thompson, the fiancoe of 11. Le Grand Connon may be seen with thin sheer black dotted veilings, giving just a suspicion of a shadow to her fair face. Fine white net is also extremely pop-- , ular and is used by Mrs. Harry For-woo- Mrs. llorduu llarriman and Mrs. George He Forrest. Still, tbe reason for these dainty face coverings being worn in the evening to places of amusement has not yet been explained, though oue young belle, w ho counts her admirers by the score, did her beet to enlighten me the other day, and indignantly denied tbe allegation that "perhaps some women favored veils to cover up a too liberal applica-tion of paint and powder." "No such thing," she stoutly said. ' "That sounds just like a man to jump at tome sues conclusion. 1 believe th. idea originated with Lady Kandolph Churchill some months a?o, who wore an extremely tbin while, gauzyv.il en. evening at a concert, fastened to a love-ly white bonnet, and then, of course, the fashion traveled over here." An artist's solution of the problem is this: lied veils give a peculiar roseala hue to a complexion which may be a little too pale for true beauty; white veils of all descriptions render the skin like wax and makes it similar to Mrs. Cleveland's delicate complexion, while a multitude of defects can be bidden be-hind a black dotted veil and no one bo the wiser as to how many bleniisb.ua a face contains. AnMinCinliu! Kate Field In the Washington. Our men, as a nils, however often they may resort to soap and water, are far too careless in their attire so care-less, in fact,' as to offer extraordinary contrast to our women, who, when en-dowed with money, devote more timo , to clothes than all the rest of " my sex in tho four quarters of the globe. The very woman who sails into a hotel din-ing room arrayed in diamonds and Worth gowns, is content with a bus-ban- d who appears in the same linen and business suit he has worn all day, and who thinks that, having washed hands and faco and brushed bis hair, be has performed bis wbolo duty to society. Getting into a dress coat is an event like Christmas and Fourth of July a momentary concession to Mrs. Grundy, rather than tbe outcjme of eternal litucss and a tribute to home. A Hall, of Hall... Says the Continent: Perhaps tha the mpt admired widow in New York is tho beautiful Mrs. Edith May Kan-dolph, who, since her lirst appearance in society, has reigned an unquestiona-ble be llo in society.

She has m wonderfully clear and lovely complex-ion, whose brilliant coloring is empha-sized by her dark hair and eyes, la manner and conversation Mrs. Ran-dolph is most fascia ating.

Tba Fail of Warn- - n( ValUia Tlitr Th. laabtub is Dangerous to Kyaaiuhl, Have you noticed how many women wear veils at the theater lately ? asks the New York Morning Journal. It is evidently quite the proper thing to do, for it was not only an occasional piece of gauze I aw floating across th. pretty features of some society belle, out here, there and all over the orches-tra circle sat slylishly gotten up women with bits of bright-colore- net tied closely over their eyes and noses. They resembled a bevy of Turkish women endeavoring to bide their features from public gaze. When asked the cause of the new fad managers of theaters smiled rather lan-guidly and said they "presumed it was only to have a new style that their lady patrons now wore veils over their faces during a theatrical performance." "I should not think they could see the expressions of the actors' faces with those things over their eyes," said the ptoprietor of a prominent' Broadway tt.eaier, "and I should also imagine it would be very uncomfortable to watch a play through a mist or cloud, but tbe motive of women foriudulgiug in queer notions is past finding out," he added, with a despairing shake of his bead. "When I not. ceil this veil wearing biis'.uess at the 'Clemenceau Case' " said another well knowu manager, "I thought perhaps it was a sort ot com-promise with their modesty, but when I saw pretty women still veiled them-selves at a farco comedy I gave up the conundrum." "Come to think of it now," put in a man about-lown- , "I have also noticed this late peculiarity of our society girls to wrap their pretty heads and neck in veiling, but caunot imagine the rea-son of the sudden freak. I for one don't admire the innovation. It cer-tainly does not add to the attractive-ness of their toiiets, and as for chal-lenging the admiration of men, why all the fellows of my acquaintance detest veils, particularly in the evening." A woman may be as mysterious as she pleases on tbe street, so tbe men say; she may dress herself in the dark-s- l of clothes, and fold thick veiling ail over her head, and nothing will be thought of it. She may even wear a light veil at a matinee and not cause comment, but when she puts on a gor-geous grown and lovely hat, and then adds a mask, even if it be of tho finest lace, the males of creation must utter a protest. Various ushers in different theaters seem inclined to be Tory loquacious on ibe subject of women's veils. "it amuses me," said a head usher, Cuuse of Corpulency. It is very evident th.it corpulency is due to some peculiarity within the sys-tem which favors the increase atid stor-age of fat, but the actual causo ia yet to bo determined. Physicians who havo been ci. 'pulont, and therefore bave had tho most favurablo opportunities for study and experiment, bavo nil reached the same conclusion. namely, that cor-pulency indicates a degree of ill health not of excellent health, as many peo-plo suppose. They also bold that ono and very potential cause of the abnor-mal storage of fat is tho lack of funct-ion!!! activity in certain important or-gans of the body, and particularly those concerned in freeing the system of waste products. In other words, when the system is clinked up with wasteless fat is consumed therein, and its accumula-tion is favored. Boston Herald. A ISntterfly Social.

In consideration of tho serious inroads which uro being mado on tho timber of this country by the use of wooden props in mines, it is satisfactory to not that a patent has been taken out for a method of making steel rails into pit props and supports for collieries, mines, tunnels, bridges, etc..
