As for that bomb discovered at
Carnegie's home we'll wager that
Andy saves it until it breeds a million
dollars worth of bombs which he can
sell at a huge profit.
A fellow may be pardoned for being

A Newark, N. J., janitor claims to
'be a grandson of George IV of Eng
land. The fact that he is a janitor
proves royal blood will tell.
Harry Thaw opines he is sane be
cause various banks honored his
checks. With us that might tend to
prove various bankers insane.
Why do newspapers persist in
speaking of them as "prominent

No. 1 of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers wishes to express through
your paper their thanks to Bro. Cor
nelius Lehane, sec'y of the Irish Fed
eration of Labor, for the instructive
and inspiring address he made at
their meeting June 17.
To hear him explain in his way

ing people of this county with the
determination to stand solidly for
their rights and principles.
We recommend that every union
that can possibly do so arrange to
have Bro. Lehane address them and

with him. Bridge and Structural
Ironworkers' Union No. 1, P. H. Hou

when one has failed to keep up his
interest? Again, look at the Illinois
Central R. R. and its illegal holdings
on the lake front, mentioned in The
Day Book.
