NON-UNION RANKS GROW Employes Wars Kspt Inf or mid ss to Every Movsment of ths Union by •sorat Agents—Striks Breakers Mssssd Before hsnd Ready to Meet All Emergencies. Those who followed closely the de velopment and conclusion of the re cant strike on the Interborough Rapid Transit Company's linss am aware that a new order of things has been established in handling labor diffi culties, says the New York Herald.- This system, which has been per fected largely within ths last year. Is comparatively unknown to the general public. The rank aad file of the vast army of organised labor do not yet ap preciate how perfectly the system has been organised. An excellent evi dence of that tact Is the sudden and bewildering defeat that followed ths strike of the, Interborough's men. It was the new method that defeated them snd they did not know how it was dons until It was all over and they had an opportunity to examine the moves that had been made. The general amalgamation and co operation of employing Interests, the placing of shrewd secret agents In every union and Afe enlistment of a standing army of strike breakers un der sble commanders are the three fundamentsl principles upon whloh the new system Is built In reality empjpyeri hsve taken a leaf from ths unioo book. They are working secret edly. ' They know when a strike Is go ing to be ordered aad are prepared to break It before It begins. Ths old way was to fight it out frequently the rssult was a prolonged and disas trous struggle, with no particular vlo tor/ on either side. The new method brings a quick and decisive finish. Since the summer of 1908 extensive organization of employing Interests has been going on all ovsr the Unitsd States. Only employers themselves know how extsnslve and how closely allied these organisations are. It is not merely a movement for the forma tion of builders' associations of trans portation managers' associations, but Cor the general welding together of all men who have to deal with trades unions, snd they are working togeth er Just as the carpenters' union might help the bricklayers" union, each hav ing behind It the support of the Amer ican Federation of Labor. Business competition for the Ums is put aside, snd when war is threatened by organ ised labor organised capital Is rsady to meet It The formation of ths New Yoifc Building Trades Employers' Associa tion two years sgo gave the new sys tem a marked Impetus. The destruc tive fight with the union here in IMS demonstrated the necessity of closer relations of employers. The Nsw York association was established, the mechanics' union was defeated, And then quickly followed the the estab lishment of similar organizations in Pittsburg, Chicago. Philadelphia, Bal timore and In nearly every city In ths country. Supplementing these orgsn lxatlons came national secretaries' leagues snd national employment bureaus and a system of correspond ence snd co-operation so well arrang ed thst the employing builder or ths employing garment maker In Nsw York knows precisely what Is going on In his line of business In Chicago, and If a st.ike is threatened he knows within a few hours Just where, when nnd bow he can get workmen enough to fill all the plaoea In his own shop. Under the new system a new call ing has bean crested, which requires men of superior ability snd which commands good pay. It Is that of lo cal of traveling secret agent. The New York Building Trades Employ ers' Association Is said to have six of these agents, constantly moving sbout from city to city, snd a much Inrger number who are employed as regular workmen in the various un ions. Not a move Is made In any of the unions thst the employers do not know about at once. Ever since un ions got a foothold In this country employers hsve had "spotters," but the secret agent Is an entirely differ ent sort of man. The old spotter was always sure to be spotted sooner or later, whsn his usefulness was ended, and frequently he went to the hospital for repairs Ths modern secret agent Is of necessity a very capable styls of person, as important to ths employer as his superintendent, snd not Infre quently ss well paid. Usually, too, he Is unknown to the superintendent and to every one else connected with the business except one person to whom he secretly reports when It Is ■MCSRATI. Secrecy and co-operation are the sgehcles of strength In organised la bor, and employers have learned the lesson. With the added advantage of unlimited capital many employers be lieve they have absolutely found a way to put an end to strikes In most trades snd a method whereby they will be sble to force the unions '"to n mots businesslike retsttonshlp, do ing; sway entirely with violence sad enforced Idleness on the part of ths Germany's Ambassadors.

PAPER MILK BOTTLER. A Sanitary Rtfortn Which Promise* Much. Consumers of milk who have corns to appreciate the value of purity and freedom from infection will be Inter eated in an Idea that originated la Philadelphia, says the New York Trlbtna Every one who has stud led the matter carefully knows that there.Sfte several waya In which milk may become contaminated. U ths dairy farm is an Ideal one, It the fluid Is promptly cooled. If Its temperature remains low during the period of transportation, if the city dealer Into whose hands It paaaes on arrival Is both honest and Intelligent, there still remains a source of possible mischief. Some of the milk which Is bottled before distribution may be Injured by a lack of thoroughness in cleaning the glass receptacles after previous use. It Is against that particular piece of Careleianeaa that It Is now proposed to guard by discarding the ptesent style of bottle altogether and replacing It with another, which, like the cheap wooden plates sometimes provided for picnics, shall be used only once. The new bottle Is to be made of heavy paper or pasteboard, manufactured out of spruce pulp Dr. A. H. Stewart, bacteriologist of ths Board of Health in Philadelphia, con ducted a aeries of testi with It, snd reports approvingly upon Its quan tise. , Ths bottle* are stsmped out of heavy three-ply paper, and a conical shape Is given to them to facilitate packing for shipment in nests. Ths bottoms have a double and their edges are locked In such s way pressure from above adds to their strength. It la said that a weight of two hundred pounds may be put on a bottle without crushing It. The cover la stout, and has pro truding llpe for convenience In remov al. Qlue is used in fastening the overlapping sdges of the body, but a costing of, parafflne prevents It from affecting the tsste of the milk and renders the bottle waterproof. Ster lisatlon by exposure to a temperature of 212 degrees Fahrenheit is the A nal operation to which the receptacle Is subjected. It Is Intended to havs half pint, pint and quart sizes. Advocates of the new scheme Insist that it possesses many minor advan tages. A paper bottle weighs two ouncea, whereas the glass one holding •-quart weighs twenty-four or more. The carrying capacity of a delivery wagon would be greatly Increased— almost doubled, they say—because ths driver would have no old bottles to collect. Ths desler would be sub jected to no loss through breakage or the stealing of empty bottles. Ths wholesale cost of glass bottles la about three cents tor pints and Ave cents for quarts. It la estimated that the paper bottles will cost not more than $8 or flO s thousand, or not to exced a cent apiece. In view of the compensations which are ex pected to attend their use, Dr. Stew art thinks that milk dealers would not be warranted In raising their prices in consequence of substituting the new bottle for the old. However, one Importsnt effect which he sntlcipates from the Innovation, is thst the ope ration of bottling will be transferred from the headquarters of the city desler to the dairy farm. Heretofore the danger of breaking during ship ment hss been a formidable obstscls to such a change, which Is sxtremely deferable from sanitsry considera tions. snd possibly that obstacle msy now be removed. The operation of washing returned milk bottles Is today conducted with various degrees of thoroughness. In Instances, no doubt. It Is well dons. Nevertheless, many shocking stories, which probably bsve good foundstlon, are told about ths carelessness of laiy drivers of city milk wagons. It Is said thst they often refill dirty bottles without cleaning thom st all. Even when the bottles am brought back to the milk shop to be refilled, the task of preparing them for fresh service is often performed so negligently that they might ss well liave been left alone entirely. Obviously, If a milk bottle Is dlscsrded forever after doing duty once, there cannot be any risk to health from this source. When You Drink Tss. "The scientific Justification for ad ding milk to tea," says The Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette, "comes from the facts that the tannic acid con tained in tea combines with the al bumen of ths milk to form tiannate of albumen, which In practically leath er. By drinking tea alone the coating of the stomach is made leathery. But when milk, which contains albumen, Is added, the molecules of tannic scld select their affinity of albumen from ft, and, as a divorce Is unknown to tannate of albumen, the lining of the stomach is less liable to be affected by the tannic acid than It would 4>e If the tea were taken alone." A Mascot In Bridge. The favorite mascot of women bridge-players is said to be a gun metal blackberry studded with tur quoise. They believe thst it Insures them against loss. What would hap pen of four owners of mascots played together we dc not know. The mas cot would have the busiest time of Its life trying to Insure them all against loss—Philadelphia Inquirer.

But only in one respect,«the Uuunctal one. The hluropeau truotfy stationed here number about five hundred, and be tween aud S-iOU.Ouo 1b annual ly spent by the home government In their keeping. The loss ot this amount will be keenly felt by mer chants and cattle dealers, all white men, as practically the whole ot the money went Into their pockets. The wliltea, although standing In the proportion of about fifteen thou sand to seven huudred thousand, have absolutely nothing to fear from the blacks .and thai removal of the Kuro , pean troops will in no way tend to affect their personal safety. It would take a great deal of provocation on i the part of a white for a black man to assault hlin. In fact, auch casea the as rare as a "green" moon—about one In ten years Is a fair average, ▲nd this relationship between the whites and the blacks la certainly not brought about by the presence at European troops In the island. This state of affairs Is bard to ao count (or, none the less it is here. L There Is an inherent feeling of some thing akin to affection In the breast of the Jamaica black for his white neghbor, and a white woman can walk throughout the length and breadth of Jamaica without fear of molestation by the natives. There la no race pre judice here, and perhaps this hat something to do with It. Apart from the monetary stand point, the removal of the European troops has been received here without much comment. Thu element of per sonal safety has never entered Into any of the letters written to the news papers on the subject, and practically nil these letters are written by white men. The closing down of the naval «tutlon at I'ort i* rlcwcd In the same light. The monetary loss will oe great, and a large number of men have already been thrown out of em ployment, but this Is the only concern that has been caused. The reports i published In English and American newspapers that the withdrawal pt the white troop*, when carried Ink) effect, will lnnke the white. pop£)a tlon anxious about its personal safe ty has no foundation In fact. In addition to withdrawing the white troops, the War Office has also under consideration a scheme for dis banding the blae . regiment stationed In the West Indies (the West India regiment.) Hhould this be done tt will cause huge monetary loss to the Island, but apart from this considera tion the people in Jamaica do not view the proposal with disfavor. The black troops Instead of keeping the peace, are generally the worst law breakers Nino ynra ago fiey caus ed a riot in the city, running amuck through the streets and slashing at the oltltens and policemen l with razors tied to the ends of sticks. Not even their own officers could control them while the riot was on. Hut It was their own color who suffered, for the soldier* took care not to Interfere with the whites—except in the single Instance of a police officer, who was rather dangerously wounded. The dlsbandmeut of the blaek troops. If it Is carried out, will be gradual, covering a period of several yeara. About a thousand black sol diers are now kept In the island. The Island Is thu* threatened with a total denudement of troops and the local government has already been called upon by the home authorities to take steps to immediately Increase the mllltla force—which now numbers about 6&0 men—to a thousand strong. Stme years ago the rank and file of e militia was composed of very re spectable young men. But they got dfagusted with tbeir treatment, the re sult being that the standard of the present force Is not a very high one. The force is practically of little or no use, and many people are in favor of lta disbandmrnt and the strengthen ing ot the police with the money thus saved. But In view of the recent de velopment—the removal of the troop* —this will not be done, and efforts will be nuule to put back the mllUla to the standard It held some years ago. There is absolutely no danger to the whites from the Jamaica mllltla. m the remote chance ot there being a black uprlslhg here, the mulattoes, whose numbers are considerable, would undoubtedly take sides with the whites. * , An important question which ha been revived by the announcement ihi t the troops >v.i! be removed, which Is now receiving a great deal of rtlacnssion In the press, Is what effect the change will have on the loyalty of the colony. The consensus of opin ion amopg educated people Is that the withdrawal of the white troops Is the first move on the part of Great Britain to hand over the West Indian Islands to the United States. This would suit the whites right down to the ground. They would have every thing to gain and nothing to lose thereby, and In the event of a ple biscite this section of the community yotUd certalnl* vote at oaoe in favor .. 1 LYNCHINGB FEWER. Recent Movement in South BduoUtSe Public Sentiment. There have baen tower lyncbtngs ta the Bouth during the last four months than In twenty years previous ly." said Booker T. Washington before the League for Political Education. "Lsst month there were only four, In February there was one and In No vember none. This Is the direct re sult of a movement started eight months ago by a few colored men snd a few white mon. They have sought to Influence public sentiment by means of pulpit, press and platform, and the result la now being felt throughout the South." There is In the south a lsrge body of the kind of white men represented In this movement, Mr. Washington said, but al«p a great many white Americans, both North and South, Who would rather drop a coin Into ths contribution box at church for the benefit of the hoathen in Africa than for the nearer duly of being Just and generous to the African at home. Most whits Americans Mr. Washing ton said, "know more about English life, or Russian life, or Italian lite than about the life of the ten million black people among them. They seo only our worst side and they Judge ds by that. The best colored life they never see. I know of one mai who has published a book and a good many magazine articles on the oolored problem who to my certain knowledge has never entered a colored home, church or school." The speaker told something of work being done by Individual Tusk egee graduates, and having used the word "self-sacrtficlng" in speaking of one of them ,he recalled It, saying: "Any man who gives himself In the service of his country Is not making a sacrifice. Anything I have been sble to do for my race I count the rarest opportunity. 1 have never made a sacrifice."—Now. York Trlb uns. Lew Wallace and Lincoln. The few uneventful years he spent in Covington were dlstlngulnhed by one Important event, it was there that he saw Abraham Lincoln for the first time. The Indiana bar had even then some brilliant and notable men among Its members, and a case of ex traordinary Interest had called them together at the fall term and the olr cult court. In relating the circum stance, General Wallace said; "Dur ing the session we were In the habit of gathering at the. old tavern in ths evening, sfter adjournment. It was a brilliant company, whose talk was well worth hearing. One there appeared suddenly within our midst a tall, ungainly man, homely of vißage, and rather shabbily dressed. He did not Intrude himself but sat on the outskirts of the company, neither proffering opinions nor taking Bides In the controversies that, occaslon slly, became pretty warm. No one seemed to know anything about him, and when I asked a friend who he was he replied, carelessly, 'Oh, that Is some third-rate lawyer; u man named Lincoln from somewhere in Illinois.' One evening, however, after be had been there some time," General Wal lace continued, "something moved blin to speak, and then he bogan to talk. We all sat spellbound. "I have nover," General Wallace said, "b«ard anything that approached It; the logic, the wit, the pertinent anerdrte that poured r it In an un ceasing stream. He talked thus for three solid hours. Some ono said, 'Whoever that fellow Is, we shall hear from him- again some day.' It was my first meeting with Abraham Lincoln," he said, "and the prophecy that we should hear from him again. It must be admitted, was abundantly verified." —Harper's Weekly. Bookworms Are Not Worms. The name bookworm Is made to cover an army of little creatures of various sizes, shapes and kinds which can bs found In books. Ileally no one of them Is a worm, though perhaps the "fish moth" or "Bllver fish" comes nearer to It than any of the others. There are the book scorpions ana mites, which are not Insects, but are primarily carnivorous. Their prss ence in books may be due to the fact that they find there animal as wajl as vegetabls food. This is certainly true of the scorpions, whloh feed on mites, book lice and other small insects. The book lice, cockroaches, "silver fish" and "fish moth" can have no reason for Infesting books except their liking for farinaceous sub stances such as are used In and about the labels and bindings of books. The damage done by them Is largely con fined to their exterior or Interior of the bindings themselves. The "white ants" feed principally on wood, and In aud about books there Is more or less wood fibre, which Is to the liking of these voracious feeders. The moths and bettles are the bores and bur rowers. They seek retired places to lay their eggs, where the larvae will have' plenty of food at hand when hatched. They will sometimes tun nel from one cover to the other. The Czar's Title. The general allusion to the ruler of Russia as the "czar" li, strictly apeak log.

MONUMENT TO THEIR SON When Central Pacific Brought Suit Agalnat Her Eatate—She pold Jewel* anl Works of Art, and Liv ed on 9100 a Month In Order the Univeraity Would Not Suffer. A writer In "Collier's Weekly" un der the caption of "A Romance of Philanthrophy," reviews the work of tlits late Mrs. Leland Stanford ami her famous husband, who died a dozen year* ago. Among other, things the writer says: "In the early 80's Leland Stanford and hla associates, Crocker, Hunting ton and Hopkins, were classed togeth er in the public mind of California as 'soulless plutocrats' and tyrants. Stanford was nominated by the gover nor as Regent of the Btato University. The Senate, controlled the nomina tion. It la generally believed that but for this action there would have been no Stanford University, and eventual ly a great part, If not all, of the Stan ford millions would have gone to the Univeraity of California. "The Stanfords had a son whom they Idolized. He seems to have been really a remarkable boy, one of those fine souls oppressed by the burden of the world. He wove plans for the benellt of other boya and girls, and on his deathbed he begged his parents to carry them out. He died in 1884 at alxteen, leaving his father and mother crushed by a loss whose maguitude almost unsettled their minds. The world was blank to them; wealth had lost Its savor, and they had uo thought but to devote themselves and their fortune to the realization o, their boy's wishes aud to the Immor talization of his name. They canon ized bis memory, and when the Rev. Dr. Newman in his funeral sermon compared the dead boy to Christ among the doctors, the parallel which scuudallzed reverent strangers seem ed to the bereaved parents only a just appreciation of his merits. "The next year the Leland Stan ford, Jr., University was born. Its queer name was u touching reminder of its real founder. In its museum, as in a shrlue, were displayed odd little relics of the worshipped boy— bis clothes, his Intimate personal be longings—lncongruous little 'things that made casuul visitors laugh. The whole university was his monument. Its welfare became the absorbing pas sion of Stanfords' life. A substantial endowed was deeded to It at the start, but for the bulk of Its support it depended on the continued generosi ty of its founders. Leland Stanford wns elected to the Senate, and In 1893 he, died. Although it hus been unlerstood that lils portune would ul timately go to the university, the greater part of It was left unreserved ly to his widow. This marked no change In the original plans. The two had worked out their ideas to gether, their desires were one, and Stanford knew that thtere was no way in whlcb their execuuon could be so thoroughly assured us by leaving ev erything in Mrs Stanford's unchecked control. There had been a board of trustees from the beginning, but its functions hail been purely ornamental. As long as a Stanford remained alive there would be no other governing body. "The Central Pacific ltallroad owed the government over $«00,000,000. For many years the corporation, under the guidance of Collis P. Huntington, at tempted to evade the payment of that debt. While this coutcst was going on it occurred to the government that an advantage might bo gained by bringing suit against the personal es tates of the men who had Incurred the debt, ami by an inspiration of geni us, the estates selected for the test case was the particular one that had been devoted to public purposes. A suit for $15,000,000 was brought against the Stanford estate, the whole property was tied up in the courts, and Mrs. Stanford wus left to bear the entire expense of defending an action In which Huntington and his partners were the chief parties In interest. "She told President Jordan that she could live on SIOO a month, as she had done before, and that the university could have ail the rest. She shut up her great houses, discharged most of her servants and lived in one wing of her Palo Alto home. The profes sors were asked to wait for part of their salaries and did so. They were still getting more than the woman who furnished their money. The uni versity scraped along Mrs. Stanford •old some personal effects of her own to meet this deficit, and prepared to sell her valuable jewels and works of art At last the suit was decided In her favor, aud times became easier. "Thus one of the richest women in the world voluntarily reduced herself to the position of a person of modest means. But In doing so she won a distinction all her own. There are plenty of rich women, but there Is none, or any man either, who has de liberately given others a fortune com parable with that sacrificed by Mr*. Stanford."
