Special to The Georgian. Asheville, N. C., June It—The field day exercises of the Y. W, C. A. con ference, which were held on the lawn In front of the Kenilworth Inn Thurs day, were attended by several hundred spectators. The delegates from the different colleges, dressed In costumes representing flowers, were formed In a long line with their respective col lege and city delegations. From the standpoint of costumes and beautiful women the display surpassed any ex hibition of the kind ever held at a Y. W. C. A. conference. Mias Mabel Cratty led the line of march, Miss Emily Stafford, of Atlanta, headed the gulf states delegations, and Miss Harvey, of Atlanta, acted as mas ter of ceremonies. AH the young ladles wore overskirts, cut so as to resemble the petals of a rose or other flowers, and had flowers in their hair. Each carried wreaths. The Savannah city delegation, com posed of a dozen pretty girls dressed in blue sailor suits, were among the most admired of the delegates. They carried oars and wore peanuts as ear rings. The Atlanta city delegation was also very attractive. The young ladles were dressed In crimson and white, repre senting their association, and wore necklaces of firecrackers. Agnes Scott was represented by a small delegation. There were three young ladles who carried a large “A. S. I." banner, and sang "Marching Thro' Georgia" The Lucy Cobb delegation of Geor gia carried several large college ban ners, and wore morning glories In their heir. They sang “Dear old Lucy Cobb” and several other catchy songs. The delegation from the ptorth Car olina State Normal School of Greens boro was the largest In the procession. There were about 90 young women in this body, dressed to represent clover. A banner of clover blossoms was a fea ture of this delegation. The delegation from Converse Col lege, South Carolina, though small, was composed of a very artistically formed group of pretty girls, who sang with much lustiness their college yells. A delegation which created much favorable comment was the body of young ladles representing the Mary Baldwin Seminary and the Randolph- Mscon Women's College, of Virginia. . The Tennesseeans, composed of Bel mont Seminary, Nashville, the Univer sity of Tennessee, and the Knoxville, Nashville and Chattanooga City Asso ciations, were encircled by large wreaths of yellow Jastmlne blossoms. Among the other delegations were: University of Alabama, Wlnthrope Col- lege, Savannah, Ga., City Association, By Private Leased Wire. Chicago, June I*.—Because his fesr of water was rreater than hla fear of death. Max Mosxoxynskl, IB years old, lay down before an oncoming train yesterday, and the wheels crushed out his life. The lad was caught on the Calumet river bridge at One hundred and for ty-fifth street by a swiftly moving freight train. A leap of a few feet Into the river would have saved him. His father nnd a companion commanded the boy to Jump Into the river, and themselves set the exnmple. Tho boy crouched on the trestle, shivering pitifully, hesitated, and then deliberately lay down on tho track be tween the rails. When the father and his companion climbed the bnnk of the river In snfoty, they turned and saw the trainmen striving to remove the small crushed form from beneath the wheels. JOHND. FEARS ANARCHISTS; HAS A GUARD AT CHATEAU WHERE HE IS STOPPING ATLANTANS TO CO TO LABQRCONCLAVE A BIG DELEGATION WILL LEAVE FOR AUGUSTA TUES DAY NIGHT. By WILLIAM HOSTER. Special Cable—Copyright. Complegne, France, June 1*.—A guard stationed at the chateau every night since his arrival,, reveals ths fear of John D. Rockefeller that he may be attacked by anarchists or other evil disposed persons. He also made a careful inquiry of Mayor Saltovese about a watch being kept on ex-criml- nals who might be dangerous. Mr. Rockefeller was greatly pleased by learning that under, the law Coro- plegne being a palace town and a royal chateau being situated thert, ex-con- vlcta are not permitted there under pain of Immediate arreat. Thla la an ancient provision for the safely of roy alty. Through Dr. Blggar, the mayor haa been Informed that hla requeat for a donation for (he poor will receive fa vorable consideration before Mr. Rockefeller leaves the town. The may or's attention to Mr. Rockefeller has brought on his head a bitter, attack from The Gazette, the local paper. "The fatal course of the Rockefeller millions Is felt In this far-away French provincial town," says The Gasstte. Then It ridicules the mayor for donning evening dresa to call on Rockefeller at noon, and accuses him of misrepre senting Complegne by servility to the American billionaire. "The people of Complegne, a cold blooded race," says The Gazette, "pos sess In their walls the richest Inhabi tant of the world. A week ago John Rockefeller came, but there was no change In our normal life. We are not getting excited, though he seems of great Importance In free America, since Ite great newspapers lend a Journalist who walks, rides and talks with him Mississippi State Association, Charles ton, S. C„ City Association, Lynwood College, Lewlaburg College, and Colum bia, 8. C., College. dally and sends the details by cable at great expense." Continuing, the paper tells of Rocke feller's horror of those who come ask ing money, and discusses with mock aerlousneap hla stomach, with a alda remark about the stomachs of the peo ple of Complegne affected by the mayor’s conduct. The length of Mr. Rockefeller’s stay Is still uncertain. He has told a friend that maybe he will stay a week, maybe three weeks. It all depends on Ills daughter’s health.

Before the firm put the book on the market it assigned unbiased in vestigators to .verify the accusations made by Mr. Sinclair. These probers made a report which corroborated In every detail the expose of the author. They found that meat unfit for human consumption was being packed In cm* and sold throughout ths country. They found that so-called food, al most rank in Itsuiondltlon, was being palmed off on the public as a nec- fisary of life, vtli in reality It was practically a poison. Readers of this serial—punched as a novel,* but now ranking as a document inseparable from the tight for better conditions In the country- will have an opportunity to get Into Intimate acquaintance with the meth ods empleyed by the greatest packing houses In the world, and will be en- tbled to realise lbw monopoly can, under existing conditions, mulct the public and make-profit out of commodities which are not only useless as a diet, but are positively Injurious. The story Is dedicated to the workingmen of America. THEJUNGLE By UPTON SINCLAIR. /' CHAPTER I. (Copyright 1 1105. by Doubleday, Page ft Co. All rights reserved.) It was 4.6'clock when the ceremony waa over and the carriages began lo arrive. Tier* had been a crowd following all the way, owing to the exu berance of darija Bercxynskaa. The occaalon rested heavily upon Marija's broad shou4*ra—It waa her taak to see that all things went In due form, and after oe best horns traditions; and, flying wildly hither and thither, bowling e«ry one out of the way, and scolding and exhorting all day with her rremetdous voice, Marija was too eager to see that other* conformed to the prorietles to consider them herself. She had left the church last of all, am, desiring to arrive flrst at the hall, had Issued orders to tho coachmarto drive faster. When that personage had developed a will of his own In ha matter, Marija had flung up the window of the carriage, and, leaning alt, proceeded to tell him her opinion of him, flrst In Lithuanian, which hldld not understand, and then In Polish, which he die). Having the advant*|9 of her In altitude, the driver had stood his ground and even ven tured tfiattempt to speak; and the result had been a furious altercation, which, ontlnulng all the way down Ashland avenue, had added a new •warm t urchins lo the cortege at each aide street for half a mile. Thl was unfortunate, for already tiler* waa a throng before the door. The mole bad atarted up, and half a block away you could hear the dull “broom broom" of a 'cello, with the squeaking of two fiddles which vied »hh ech other In Intricate and altltudlnous gymnastics. Seeing the throng,Marija abandoned precipitately the debate concerning the ancestors of hercoachman, and, springing from the moving carriage, plunged In and prncesfed to clear a way to the hall. Once within, she turned and began to pus the other way, roaring, meantime, "Elk! Elk! Uadaryk-durte!" In tones which mods the orchestral uproar aound like fairy music. Gralcxunaa, Pastllnksmtnlnnams darxas. Vynaa. Sznapsaa. WInea and .tquors. Union Headquarters”—that was ths way the signs ran. The readr, who perhaps has never held much converse In the language of far.it Lithuania, will be glad of the explanation that the place waa tha barroom of a saloon In that part of Chicago known as "back of the yarda” Thl.tnformatlon Is definite and suited to the matter of fact: but how pit!- full Inadequate It would hara seemed to one who understood that it waa also the supreme hour of ecstacy In the life of one of God’s gentlest crea tures, the scene of the weddlng-feaet and the Joy-transfiguration of little Ona Lukosaaltel She stood In ths doorway, shepherded by Cousin Marija, breathlesa from puahlng through the crowd, and In her happlneaa painful to look upon. There waa a light of wonder In her eyea and her lids trembled, and her otherwise wan little face was fluahed. She wore a muslin dress, conspicu ously white, and a stiff little veil coming to her shoulders. There were five pink paper roses twisted In ths vtll, and eleven bright green rose leaves. There were new white cotton gloves upon her hands, and as she stood staring about her she twisted them together feverishly. It was almost too much for her—you could see the pain of too great eraotlop In her face, and all the tremor of her form. She was so young—not quite sixteen— and small for her age, a*mere child; and she had Juat been married—and married to Jurgls*, of all men, to Jurgla Rudkua, he with the white flower In the buttonhole of hla new black ault, he with the mighty shoulders and tha giant hands.

Ona waa blue-eyed and fair, while Jurgla had great black eyes with beet ling brows, and thick black hair that curled In waves about hla ears—In short, they were on* of thoaa Incon gruous and Impossible married couples with which Mother Nature so often wills to confound all prophets, before and after. Jurgla could take up a two- hundred-and-fifty-pound quarter of beef and carry It Into a car without a stagger, or even a thought; and now he stood In a far corner, frightened as a hunted animal, and obliged to moisten his Ups with his tongue, each time be fore he could answer the congratula tlons of his friends. Gradually there was effected • sep. aratlon between tha spectators and tha guests—a separation at least sufficient ly complete for working purposes. There was no time during the festivi ties which ensued when than were not groups of onlookers in ths doorways and the corners; and If any one of these ontooken came sufficiently close, or looked sufficiently hungry, a chair was offered him, and h* was Invited to the feast It was one of the lawe of the vesellja that no one goes hungry; and, while a rule made In the forests of Lithuania Is hard to apply In ths stock-yards district of Chicago, with Its quarter of a million Inhabitants, still they did their best, snd ths children who ran In from the etreet, and even the doge, went out again happier. A charming Informality was one of ths characteristics of this celebration. The men wore their hats; or. It they wished/ they took them plf. and thslr coats with them; they at* when and whtre they pleased, and moved as often as they pleased. There were to be speeches and elnglng, but no one had to listen who did, not can to; If he wished, meantime, to speak or ling himself, he was perfectly free. The resulting med ley of sound distracted no one, save possibly alone the babies, of which there wera present a number equal to the total possessed by all the guests Invited. There was no other place for the babies to be, and ao part of the preparations for the evening consisted of a collection of cribs and carriages In one corner. In these the babies slept, three or four together, or wak ened together, as the case might be. Those who were still older, and could reach the tables, marched about munching contentedly at meat bones and bologna sausages. The room Ia .boat thirty toot square; with whitewashed walls, bars aav* for a calendar, a picture of a race horse, and a family tree In a glided frame. To the right there la a door from tha saloon, with a few loafers In the door way, and In the corner beyond It a bar, with a presiding genius clad in soiled white, with waxed black mus taches and a carefully oiled curl plast ered against one side of hla forehtad. In th* opposite corner are two tablet, fill ing a third of th* room and laden with dishes and cold viands, which a few of the hungrier guests are already munching. At the head, where sits the bride; Is a snow-white raks, with an Eiffel tower of constructed decoration, with sugar roata and two angels upon It, and a generous sprinkling of pink and green and yallow candles. Beyond opens a door Into th* kitchen, where there Is a glimpse to be had of a rang* with much steam ascending from It, and many women, old and young, rush ing hither and thither. In th* corner to the left are tha three musicians, upon a little platform, tolling heroically lo make some Impression upon th* hub bub; also tha habits, similarly occu pied, and an open window whence th* populace Imbibes the eight* and sounds and odors. Suddenly some of th* steam begins to advance, and, peering through It, you discern Aunt Elisabeth, Ona'a stepmother—Teta Elzbleta, as they call her—bearing aloft a groat platter of stewed duck. Behind her I* Kotrtna, making her way cautiously, staggering beneath a similar burden; and half a minute leter there appear* old Grand mother Majaussklene, with a big yel low bowl of smoking potatoes, nearly as big as herself. So, bit by bit, the feast takes form—there Is a ham and a dish of sauerkraut, boiled rice, maca roni, bologna sausages, great piles of jenny buns, bowls of milk and foam- ng pitchers of beer. Thera la also, not six feet from your back, the bar. where you may order all you pleas* and do not hav* to pay for It. "Elkai! Gralcslant” screams Marija Barczyn- skss, and fall* to work hsraalf—for there Is more upon the stove Inside that will be spoiled If It be not eaten. So, with laughter end shouts and endless badinage and merriment, the guests take their, places. The young men, who for the most part have been huddled near the door, summon their resolution and advance; and the shrinking Jurats Is poked and scolded by the old folks until ha consents td seat himself at th* right hand of th* bride. Th* bridesmaids, whose In signia of office are paper wreath*, com* next, and after them the reat of the guests, old and young, boys and girl* The spirit of the occasion takes hold of the stately bartender, who condescend* to a plate of * tewed duck; even the fkt policeman—whose duty It will be, later In th* evening, to break up the lights—draws .up a chair to the foot of the table. And th* children shout and the babies yell, and every one laughs and sings and chat ters—while above all th* deafening clamor Cousin Marija shouts order* to the musicians. to describe them? All this lime they have been there, playing In a mnd frenzy—all of Ibis scan* must be read, or said, or lung to music. It Is tha mualo which makes It what It Is; It la ths music which changes th* place from the rear room of a saloon In back of the yards to a fairy palace, a wonderland, a llttlo corner of the high mansions of the sky. Th* Ilttls parson who leads this trio Is an Inspired man. HI* fiddle I* out of tune, and there Is no rosin on his bow, but still he Is an Inspired mon ths hands of the muses have been Inld upon him. He plays like one pos sessed by a demon, by a whole horde of demons. You can fee! them In tns air around about him, capering frenet ically; with their Invisible feet they set the pace, and the hair of the lead er of the orchestra rises on end, and his eyeballs start from thslr sockets, as he tolls to keep up with them. Tamoexlue Kusslslka Is his name, and ha has taught hlmsalf to play tha violin by practicing all night, after working all day on the "killing beds.” He la In hla shirt sleeves, with a vest figured with faded gold horseshoes and a pfnk-strlped shirt suggestive of peppermint candy. A pair of mili tary trousers, light blue with a yellow stripe, serve to give that suggestion of authority proper to the leader of a band, lie Is only about 5 feet high, but, even.eo, thee* trousers are about f Inches short of the ground. You wonder where he can have gotten them—or rather you would wonder. If th* excitement of being In hla pres, enee left you time to think of such things. For he Is an Inspired man. Every Inch of him Is Inspired—you might al most say Inspired separately. He stamp* with hie feet, he toeaes his head, ha sways and swings to and fro; h* haa a wlxened-up little face. Irre sistibly comical; and, when he exe cutes a turn or a nourish, hla brow* knit and hla lip* work and hla eyelids wink—th* vary ends of hla necktie bristle out. And every now and than he turni upon hla companions, nod ding, signaling, beckoning frantically —with ovary Inch of him appealing. Imploring, In behalf of the muses and thslr call. For they era hardly worthy of Tamoexlue, th* other two members of the orchestra. Th* second violin Is a Blavok, a tall, gaunt man with black- rimmed spectacles and th* mute and latlant look of an overdriven mule; a responds to th* whip but feebly, and than always falls bark Into hla old rut. Th* third man Is very fat, with a round, red, sentimental nose, and he play* with hla eye* turned up to th* sky and a look of laflnlta yearn ing. lie Is playing a has* part upon hla 'callo, and ao tha excitement Is nothing to him: no matter what hap pens In the treble. It Is his task to saw out one long-drawn and lugubrious note after another, from 4 o’clock In the afternoon until nearly the same hour next morning, for his third of th* total Income of tl per hour. Before th# feast has been F min utes under way Tamosslus Kusslslka has risen In hla excitement; a minute or two more and you see that h* la ba ling to edge over toard tho tables, nostrils are dilated and hla breath comas fast—his demons are driving him.

In his manhood he worked In a cotton mill, but then a coughing fell upon him, and he had to leave; out In the country Ihe trouble disappeared, but he has been working ths choruses, and men and women cry )n th o pickle room at Durhn out like all possessed; some lenp to -- ■■ -- tholr feet and stamp upon tho floor, lifting their glass#* nnd pledging each other. Before long It occur* to eomo one to demand an old wedding song, which celebrate* the beauty of the bride nnd the Joy* of love. In the ex citement of thl* masterpiece Tamoezlu* Kuflzlelka begins to edge in between the tables, making hi* way toward tho head, where alts the bride. There is not a foot of apace between the chair* of the guests, and Tamoszlua la ao ahort that he pokes them with his how whenever he reaches over for the low notes; but atlll he presses In, nnd In sist* relentlessly that his companions must follow. During their progress, * flic 'xsaIIs. Th* musicians—how shall on* begin gathered at th* foot tl>* table*, and nedleas to ssy, tho sounds of the ’cello are pretty well extinguished; but at last the three are at th* head, and Tamoszlua lakes 111* atatlon at the right hand of tbe bride and begins to pour out his soul In melting strain*. Little Ona 1* too excited to eat. Onro In a while * he taste* a little something, when Cou*ln Marija pinches her elbow nnd reminds her; but, for th* most part she sits gazing with th* same fearful eyes of wonder. Teta Elzbleta Is all In a flutter, like a humming bird; her sisters, too, keep running up behind her, whispering, breathless. Hut Ona seems scarcely to hear them—the music keeps railing, and ths far-off look comes back, and she sits with her hands pressed together over her heart. Then the team begin to come Into her eyes; and as she Is ashamed to wipe them away, and ashamed to let them run down her cheeks, she auras and shakes her head a little, and then flushes red when she see* that Jurgla Is watching her. When In the end Tamoszlus Kuszlelka has reached her side, and Is waving his magic wand above her, Ona - * cheeks are scarlet, and she look* sa If she would hav# to get up and run away. In this crisis, however, she Is saved by Marija Bercxynoko*, whom the muses suddenly visit. Marija la font! thslr minds.

Now. It Is understood that he has coin- posed an original speech of congratu lation and benediction, and this Is one of the events of the day. Even tha boys who are romping about the room draw near and listen, and some of tho women sob nnd wipe their uprons In their eye*. It Is very solemn, for An- tann* Rudku* ha* become possessed of the Idea that hi 1 lias not much longer to stay with hls children.
