NEEDED FOR LUBRICANT CULLS LABOR MEET SfeMMtSSlONER KEEFE ISSUES IN- VITATION8 FOR A COUNClH*: OOMPERS IN Hist '^f%iomotlort of the Welfare of Working- % men Principal Object of Meet­ ing to Convene Feb. ruary 10. Washington.--Invitations have been «ttended to more than a score of prominent labor leaders in all parts of the country, asking them to partici­ pate in the proposed "'council of labor" to be hold on February 10 at the de­ partment of commerce and labor, when questions of vital moment to the wage- earners of the country will be dis­ cussed. Samuel Gompers is among those invited. It is the earnest hope of those who will attend this conference that some plan or pians may be evolved which iHll promote the welfare of the wage- workers. The subjects with which the conference will be called upon to deal are indicated in the invitations which have been addressed to the heads of the principal labor organizations by Daniel J. Keefe, commissioner general of immigration, who was designated by Secretary Straus as one of the Committee on arrangements. The problem of the unemployed, and how and to what extent the division of Information, in the department of com­ merce and labor, can be most helpful to that class, especially during periods of depression, is perhaps of chief sig­ nificance. It is declared that immigration fig­ ures indicate that much of the immi­ grant influx to the United States is one to misleading information as to labor conditions here, and this will form one of the chief topics to be threshed out. The conference also will consider "how the Nqbel peace prize which President Roosevelt devoted to the foondation for the promotion of in­ dustrial peace can be made most ef­ fective. Other questions which will figure in ' the council's deliberations will be as to the advisability of recommendations for legislation extending the steam­ boat inspection service to include the inspection of locomotive boilers on in­ terstate railroads, and how the division of information of the department of commerce and labor may be adminis­ tered for the best interests of the Wage-earners generally.

The death of M. Coquelin is an In­ calculable loss to the French stage. Only a few days ago M. Rostand, who recently has been giving the finishing touches to "The Chanticleer," ar­ rived in Paris from Cambo, and he Was ready to begin the rehearsals of the play in which M. Coquelin, who had the leading role, was expected to duplicate his famous success obtained fed M. Rostand's "Cyrano de Bergerac." Ceremonies Preceded by Brilliant Il­ lumination and Farewell Ball for American Officials. Havana.--Cuba formally passed back Into the hands of the Cubans at noon Thursday, when the new government, beaded by President. Gomez and Vlee- President Zayas was inaugurated. The ceremonies were simple. Gen. Gomez took the oath from the chief justice of the supreme court and made a brief address to the populace from the balcony of the palace. Afterward in the reception room of the palace Gov. Magoon read the order of Presi­ dent Roosevelt restoring the island and its affairs to the newly elected government. The coming of this new day of Cuban liberty was signaled by a gen­ eral display of fireworks, the velvet blackness of the tropical midnight be­ ing set aflame by screeching rockets and bombs which sent down showers of golden rain and gleaming, vari­ colored lights. The streets of the city, which were brilliantly illuminated and garlanded with chains of incandescent bulbs, were thronged and a carnival jc&h H13UEL, GCLVZSZa spirit everywhere prevailed. Thou­ sands of people gathered around the Clerks' club throughout the night, where inaugural and farewell balls were held jointly in honor of President Gomez and Vice-President Zayas arid Gov. Magoon, all three of whom were quickly recognized on entering the building and leaving it, and loudly ap­ plauded.. The balls constituted one of 'the most brilliant functions held here since the days of the Spanish oc­ cupation. Washington. -- A message express­ ing hope for Cuba's success was sent by President Roosevelt to the president and congress of the republic of Cuba Thursday. It follows: "Gov. Magoon will, by direction, turn over to you, on the 28th of this month, the control and government of the island of Cuba, and te will there­ upon declare the provisional adminis­ tration of the affairs of the island by the United States to be at an end. Upon the occasion of this final act, I desire to reiterate to you the sincere friendship and good wishes of the United States, and our most earnest hopes for the stability and success of your gvernment. Our fondest hope is that you may enjoy the blessings of peace, justice, prosperity and orderly liberty, and that the friendship which has existed between the republic of the United States and the republic of Cuba may continue for ail time to come." MYSTERY SHROUDS SHIPWRECK. Vessel Lost Off Cape Hatteras la Not Yet Identified. Norfolk, W. Va.--Hidden beneath the turbulent waves that roll wildly over Diamond shoals, 14 miles off Cape Hatteras, N. C., the secret of the identity of the mysterious steamer which went down there Saturday, probabiy with all hands on board, re­ mains untold. The daylight of an­ other day gave no evidence, furnished no clew to corroborate the testimony of those few aboard the Diamond shoals lightship, who witnessed, help­ less to aid, this latest tragedy of the well-named "Graveyard of the Atlan­ tic." Norfolk shipping authorities declare that the steamer probably was aa abandoned derelict.

The trouble is, In shortly alter noon, and the persons on shore fled in wild panic lest the flames spread to the small wooden buildings which lined the harbor front. As a result there was no effort on the part of the municipal authorities to jgo to the rescue of the hundreds in the har­ bor for some tiine. When finally aid was sent more thaji 200 lives had been snuffed out. Scores of Chinese jumped Into the waters of the bay to escape death by Are, and they were drowned. The scene was terrible. When the ex­ citement on the shore had subsided and the Chinese seemed to regain their senses re]atives of some of the vic­ tims rushed madly up and down the quays shouting for some one to save their loved ones. Some made futile efforts to launch boats and several deaths were recorded in that manner. The lighting of a match on one of the boats is said to have been the cause of the disaster. Before the own- j ers of the craft in the vicinity were [ aware of what was happening a great ] sheet of flame leaped from vessel to | vessel, leaving death in its wake. It j was scarcely half ah hour when the fire had burnt itself out and then the I effort to secure the remains of the • victims commenced. This was attend­ ed by much peril because of the dense pall of smoke which hung over the river, and several of the rescuers were overcome and had to be taken ashore to be resuscitated. * Melbourne.--British steamer Clan Ranald is a total wreck near Edith- burg, and the captain and 46 of the , crew, most of whom were Asiatics, I were drowned.

Test Vote in Convention Strength of President. Shows Indianapolis. Ind.--The convention of the United Mine Workers of Amer­ ica underwent a change over the week end and Monday found the Lewis ad­ ministration victorious over Its op- spite of dictionaries, dyspepsia be­ longs not to the digestion alone, but also to the temper. It colors the mental outlook blue. When the mind has been thoroughly steeped in blueing it is not well to air it in public. The mind must be present in selling if the sales-person really wishes to make a record. Of course, a record is sometimes forced upon, a sales-person in spite of himself, but such luck do^s not become epidemic. In brief, dyspepsia pinches the tem­ per of the seller--and what is more disastrous to good selling than a nipped temper? Occasionally the customer thinks he has a right to have the dyspepsia, too; and I don't know but that he has this right in so far as the store is con­ cerned. He does not belong to the store, but the store belongs to him. When dyspepsia meets dyspepsia look out for that sales-record. Then doe% the thing that is crying to be sold hold its breath to see who comes out on top. Did you, Mr. Salesman, ever realize how it concerns your duty to the pub­ lic to chew your food so that chunks of it do not make your digestive ap­ paratus go on a strike? Nature has given you wonderful machines to pre­ pare the food so, that it will feed the various parts of the body with good red blood. She asks you net to make it too hard for these machines- by neg­ lecting to use the mill in your mouth that is there for grinding the food. The teeth are the hardest materials in the body and are meant to do good service before the food reaches those organs which you do not have to bother about directing: the stomach, the liver, the pancreas, the spleen, all take care .of themselves if you only do not impede them. The one thihg that does impede them is to throw doWn a lot of food without tearing it up and mixing it into a pulp in the mouth. They make it mighty uncomfortable for you in consequence if you don't Again, do you realize thdt "you are surrounded with air--that this air is a good thing for you to breathe both day and night? One would think it was ponents, led by Jchn Walker of Illi­ nois, who was Ijewis rival in the elec- poison from the way people cramp tion for the national presidrncy. Mr. Walker gave out a statement that he would not contest the elec­ tion because he believed such action hopeless. The convention had bsen packed against him, he said.

Washington.--The case of the Con­ tinental Wall Paoer Company vs. Lewis Voieht & Sons of Cincinnati was Monday decided by the supreme court of the United State3 in Volght's favor. The suit wa$ brought by the com­ pany cn a debt, of 157.000, the payment of which was resisted on the ground that the paper company is a trust. In e^Tect the decision holds that an admitted trust organized contrary to the Sherman anti-trust law cannot use the court to collect debts. imism I ̂ their chests to avoid it--they take such little stingy gasps of it. Air is needed In the body, else we would not have been born with a mag­ nificent pair of bellows--the lungs-- with which to take it in. Do you ima­ gine any part of us was made for fun? Both the inside of the body and the outside were meant to be well aired, and unless they are well aired beware of good-nature and continuous optimism, so necessary to selling goods week in and week out A big, generous breath, besides sup­ plying air to purify, sets muscles In motion that give natural exercise to those digestive organs which cause us so much trouble. This exercise helps them in their own strenuous activity of digesting an underdone potato and an overdone beefsteak. Do be generous with yourself in breathing. Air costs nothing but ef­ fort, and that only at first, for after a time you would no more do without splendid deep breathing than you would do without washing your face. Out of doors and in street cars count seven, the magic number, while you are inhaling, and feel your trunk and chest expand as if it were a bal­ loon. Then hold your breath to the count of three, and count seven while you breathe out. You know you are not breathing out the same air you have breathed in. That air has been eagerly absorbed by yourself to help in the making of rich, red blood. You are breathing out impurities such as, if retained, give you a headache that is often converted into a lost sale. You excuse yourself to yourself by saying that you have a headache, when what you really have is poison be­ cause of your laziness in not inhaling fresh air and breathing out un-fresh air. Ereathe the same way behind the counter. Don't make excuse that, the air Is not fresh. It is better to keep our breathing machine active with half-pure air than to shut it off with only a miserly bit of exercise. Remember also that the chest is the box in which the lungs are kept If you squeeze it in through a bad stand­ ing position, rounding the shoulders, the air cannot get into the body. When you inhale, lift your head up as if you were not ashamed of living. Hold it well up at the crown. Then it does not drag down on the lung-box. And, by the way, when you are through exhaling, keep it that way. Look the whole world in the face with a direct look. This pulls up the muscles of the chest. Always hold the chest well up and forward, as if you were ready to move instantly. This lifts it so the air can Now you get into the space ben path. are Teady to breathe. If your breathing stopped suddenly you would lose your Job, wouldn't you? Then it is equally true that if yoo breathe little you are less capable at holding your job. If you breathe much, you are capable of holding it; for the body is necessary in selling goods. You can;t bring your mind into your department without it And for the best selling, your body must be ajll there and not in part You are born in air, yon live in air, you move about in it and would step down and out without it Then, all together, one, two, three, breathe.
