TALL CORN
doesn't come by accident A
fertile soil an 4 careful cultiva
tion are necessary to produce
the towering stems and heavy
cars.
Yet the farmer
stands that he can't have a
healthy corn crop without
feedl,,a11 wecdln. seems
to think that he can have a
healthy body without either
icare or culture. But the body
s built np just as the corn is,
y the assimilation of the
several chemical elements on
which vitality depends. And
what weeds are to the corn,
diseases of the stomach and
nutritive systems are to the
body; they divert the necta
ry food supply from the

y becomes lean, sicklv
and ill-nourished.

A MIDNIGHT CATASTROPHE.
A tomcat sat on a moonlit shed and
warbled a song to the night, .
A gray old singer of plebeian birth,
but the hero of many a fight,
And a sinful man in whose wicked
soul no lore for harmony dwelt,
From his bed arose, in his red night
clothes, giving voice to the rage he
felt! .
He a bootjack seized in his vengeful
hand and hurled it out into space.
And a smile peeped through the dry
waer scars of the veteran tomcat's
face
"Never touched mel" he cried, in tri-
ion moeuwed I
And the madman swore until the stars
went out and the moon hid its face in
a cloud!
Again did the tomcat raise its voice in
a song to its sweet Marie,
And the echoes quivered like currant
jelly in the thrill of the melodee.
And the man in the window a shotgun
seized, and it belched forth a rain of
lead.
And the tomcat sank in the throes of
death on the roof of the old wood-

With a grunt of triumph the murderer

And the tomcat rai&ed up its shot-pierced

STRIKE ORDER ISSUED.
Will Involve All the Sheet Iron Mills In

By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
. Pittsburg, June 29. The joint
conference committee of the Amalga
mated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers and the American Sheet
Steel Company and the American
Steel Hoop Company, which has been
in session here, were' unable to reach
n agreement on the wage scale for
the ensuing year and adjourned finally
after a session of less than twenty
minutes. The Amalgamated Associa
tion officials ask that the scale be
signed for all the union mills, and the.
manufacturers presented a counter
proposition, not only refusing to sign
for all the union mills, but stipulating
that two plants that were included
last year be exempt from the scale
this year. The conference tken broke
up and President Shaffer at once is
sued a strike order. The strike will
involve all the unioniheet mills in
the country and about twenty thou

Minority Report.
The minority report is signed by
Frank S. White. 8. U. Dent. George
P. Harrison and W. O. Oates. It
makes vigorous excetoion to the
"Grandfather clause," and says:
"The Grand father clause, which re
fers to descendants of soldiers, violates
the Federal constitution by undertak
ing, by indifferent means, to abridge
the rlffht to vote to certain citizens.
This is done by conferring the right to
vote upon descendants oi soiuiers.
This class includes practically all of
the white and excludes practically all
of the negro race; it does not prescribe
a qualification bearing any proper re
lation to the canacity of the voter to
understand and discharge the respon
sibilities of the elective franchise, but
fixes an arbitrary status, depending
solelv unon his descent from an an
cestry. over which he bad and has no
control, and which is impossible of at
tainment by any exertion on his part
"This nrovision establishes a perma
nent hereditary governing class, which
w undemocratic, un-repuoiican ana
un-American.
"It insults the white men of Ala
bama and proclaims their inferiority to
the negro by requiring of them as
suffragans a lower standard of capacity
aod intelligence than that required oi
the negro.
"It is impracticable of administra
lion nwirio- to the imnossibllitv of es
tablishing with any certainty the de
scent from remote ancestors."

"'But yo' might keep shet about it

"That started the row," said the old
man, "an we had some purty hot words.
I said I didn't believe the story, an she
said she didn't keer whether I did or
not, an we was sassln away when we
heard a cry up on the hillside. It was
sunthln like the cry of a child, an the
old woman gits up an listens an says: 1
" 'Zeb, thar's a leetle child wanderin
about in the bresh. Jest hoot two or
three hoots to draw it this way.'
"The cry come ag'in, an then I know
ed what it was. It wasn't no lost
child, but a prowlin wildcat. I hadn't
heard one fur two y'ars, but I was dog
suah of the game. I'd hev told the old
woman, but she got mad bekase I
wouldn't hoot an called me names.
When the third cry comes, she says to
me: .
" Zeb White, that must be Joe Ba
ker's leetle boy Jim, an he's wandered
two miles away from home. If yo've
got a heart in yo'r busum, yo'll go up
the mounting an find him an bring him
down in yo'r arms.' . -
" I ain't huntin fur lost boys, says I
as I fills my pipe.
" 'Then I am. I'll go up thar myself.'
" 'Better not.'
" 'But I will. Befo the Lawd, but I
don't know whot's come overyo', Zeb.
Fust yo' go an deny that the whale
swallered Joner, an then yo' won't
move hand or foot to save an innercent
child from pcrlshin. Mebbe yo' air git

from me?'
" 'I ain't takin wild varmints fur lost

" 'It's no wild varmint. It's the
voice of leetle Joe Baker, an he must
be skeert almost to death of the dark
ness. Yo' sot right yere like an old
mewl, an I'll go up an find him. I'm
thankin the Lawd yo' hain't got no
children of yo'r own.'
"With that she grabs up a stick an
starts up the hill. While I knowed that
n wildcat was roamin round, I didn't
think the old woman would come to
any hurt. I hoped the cat would yell
out an skeer her, an so it was ten min
its befo' I f ollered on. She went push
in through the bresh an callln to Joey,
an now an then the cat cried out in an
swer. I was doin a heap of laughln to
myself when the old woman calls back
to me:
" "Come on, Zeb! I've dun found the
child!'
" 'Then bring him along,' says I.
" 'I can't. He's up a tree. Zeb, did

"'An his eyes ar shlnin like two

"I knowed the cat had clumb a tree

BotTTH Nobwalk, Conh.,' June 29
Seven hundred employes of the
John W. Green hat factory left Dan
bury this morning for an excursion to
Glen Island, the steamer 'Mohawk
being chartered for the trip. After
spending the day on the island the
party boarded the steamer for the re
turn trip at abour five o'clock. The
steamer had been under way about
ten minutes when the excursionists
were startled by a tremendous crash,
the ship having struck a rock. A
panic then followed, during which
every one of the seven hundred pas
sengers on board scrambled for tbe
life preservers.
In the crush which followed women
and children were knocked down and
trampled upon. One child had au
arm broken and another was pick
ed up seriously injured about the
body.
- During this excitement the steamer
had been steadily sinking, and ten
minutes after the crash tbe first deck
was submerged. .
Three launches which were nearby
when the accident occurred had hy
this time nearly reached the disabled
steamer They immediately went to
the rescue of the passengers who
jumped overboard.
The passengers on the second deck
were by this time in nearly as bad a
predicament as their fellow excursion
ists on the first deck had been a short
time before. The water was just be
ginning to wash over the deck when
the excursion steamer Myndert Steam
arrived from the island and took on
board the remaining passengers.
The accident was caused by the
pilot of the steamer going on the
wrong side of the buoy which marks
the course to bs followed by steamers
to and from the island.
Anchor Line Steamer Lost.

chor line steamer;Armenia, on her way
to St. John from New York, went
ashore in a fog this morning on Nig

point, and hopes of saving the vessel
are about abandoned.
Word was sent to the agents of the
steamer here and tugs were sent to
the Armenia's rescue. They made
every effort to move the steamer, but
met total failure and the attempt was
given up. the crew being taken on
board of one of the tugs and brought
to this city. The falling tide caused
the steamer to careen and she is now
lying on her side, the water rushing
into her holds, and with the outlook
that at high tide she would be totally

A WOMAN'S STRATEGY.
She Found a, Way to Qalekea Un-
Bard Lover to Action.
After the atliktic young man. resting
lazily In an easy chair, bad studied tbe .
ceiling at which he was blowing smoke
he replied to- the pretty sister who bad
twice asked him the same quiv iion:
"Bess, you know I don't can- tlnvturn
of my liand for women. I'm saliiiatcd
with what tbe politicians call a;atuy.
Of eouisi' 1 remember the Georgia prill
that visited us last summer. She v. as
a magnificent creature to look at. but
111 warrant she Is Just lite the rest of
them. I paid her some attention for
your sake, little one, but really I had
to think twice before recalling her.
Her name was Molly, wasn't It?"
"Tab Twing writes me of a report
that Molly is going to marry Captain
Howker of the army. You know him.'
and the sister took observations from
the corner of one eye.
'What, that chump? The Infernal
feather headed flirt and egotistical ig-.
norainus! What right has a conceited
puppy like that to marry a woman like
her, to drag her from garrison to camp
and from camp to garrison? Don't ber
family know enough to prevent It?
Good heavens, Bess, you have influence
with her!" Why don't you interfere 7'
"And get snubbed for my pains? l
guess not! But you seem agitated about
the matter, my dear boy."
"No; it's not that, Bess." Yet she
could see the blush on the back of his
neck as he looked out the window.
"I'm III. I've felt It coming on for sev
eral weeks. The truth Is that the doc
tor says I must go south for awhile,"
and ho never hesitated at this whop
per, and she was gushing In her hypo-
-crltlcal sympathy. "It's a confounded
nuisance but 1 11 start tonight!
WithlM 1-T minutes she sent t'.sls:
"Darlli: Molly, he's coming-. 1 tld
yon I'd 11 nd n way to stir him up."

When tbe Chief Cook Leaves.
The Importance of a chief cook be
comes evident when the time for his
departure arrives One day last week
the proprietor of a popular restaurant
on Fifth avenue decided for reasons of
his own to part with the services of the
man who had for some years looked
after his kitchen. The chef retired
and with him more than 20 of his as
sistants. This number included his as
sistant cooks and every man in the
kitchen, even to the unimportant func
tionary who presides over tbe refriger
ators. This exodus did not surprise
the proprietor.
The chef had brought the others with
him, and they were in a way more
closely attached to his service than to
the proprietor who paid jthom their
wages. When a substitute was hired.
he also brought the same complete
corps of assistants who are supMsed
to know the methods of their chief bs-t-
ter than any assistants not direetly
.employed by him.
Thirf manner of employment exists In
all the large restaurants, where the
head cook is absolute master in the
kitchen and controls all the branches
of his department down to the- most
unimportant He is held responsible
on this ground for all that may happen
under his direction even If he was not
personally concerned in the niatter.-

A Detroit business man says that dic
tating to a stenographer has ruined his
spelling. He cannot write an ordinary
letter now. he says, without making
gross errors In orthography.
The marble keeps merely a cold and
sad memory of a man who. else would
be forgotten. No man who needs a
monument ever ought to have one.
