Is destined 1 ' its work to arouse the keen
f.t inures in every corner of the land.
The commission comes into being by tin
e-t of Congr.-ss approved June 18, 1898,
and tha*. >. t,i. title, authorizes it “to
(V. ite information and to consider and
recommend - .ation to meet the prob

For the Guidance of Statesmen.
The commission grew out of a demand,
t jo, for definite and authoritative data for
the guidance of the statesmen of the na
tion in dealing with economic questions.
In the fields of agriculture, in the shops,
in the mines, in the counting houses of
the nation, there are scores of frictions
that can be eased, if not removed, by an
understanding of their causes and the ap
plication of u remedy that Is scientifically
correct Those who best know how co
related and how interdependent capital
and lalor are. feel that there must be
somewhere a hitherto undiscovered eco
nomic principle- that will exactly adjust
them to each other and make their rela
tion as cordial as their interests are one.
In his report urging the creation of the
commission upon Congress, Mr. Gardner
estimated that in the six years between
1!SI) and 'cvl me single item of strikes has
cost $98,366,958 to employers, employes and
their organizations directly.
In an article widely published in 1895,
Dr. William T. Harris, chief of the na
tional bureau of education, elaborated a
point in connection with this new force in
economics, that may be used her* for
illustrative purposes. In 1880, he says, the
estimated production of the United States
amounted to 40 cents per day for each
man, woman, and child. Divided among
those following gainful occupations—on the
form. In the mines, in the mills, of every
kind—that would yield to each person In
the country as his or her prb rata of the
total product. $:t4.80 per month, or SB.IO per
week of eix days.
Paramount Aim of Commission.
It is medless to spend any time in elab
orating tl. importance, both as a basis
- k if,, h delation, state and national, and
for the orderly conduct of the industrial
controversies, of the authoritative settle
ment of this factor and of all other fac
t irs of like kind. Such a settlement would
give labur. labor organizations and leagues
0 fo fe basis for the discussion and ad
.iustment of their differences, and furnish
to the statesmen of the land basic facts,
without which their debates and legisla
ti n cannot be wt 11 informed. Or^ 1 of the
functions of the United States Industrial
' "mmission is to put facts of this kind
t' ,i : who have occasion to use them
with the stamp of authority.

Senate member of the committee on mines
and mining. Senator Stephen K. Mallory
of F.orida, the fourth member of the com
mission, brings to the discharge of his
functions a wealth of general information
that has aided it greatly in the progress
of >< s work. Senator John W. Daniel of
Virginia, the fifth senatorial member, has
been dealing with financial questions as a
member of the Senate committee on
finance, and brings to the work of the
commission, therefore, an all-around ac
quaintance with all the subjects to be con
sidered.
It* Other Member*.
Speaker Reed, naming the House mem
bers, very properly made Congressman
John J. Gardner of New Jersey, w’ho is the
chairman of the House committee on la
bor, and one of the most thoroughly pro
ficient men In the country, one of his se
lections. Representative William Lorimcr
of Illinois, the second of the speaker's ap
pointees, is also a member of Mr. Gard
ner’s labor committee and of the House
committee on agriculture, too. Represen
tative John C. Bell of Colorado, and Repre
sentative L. F. Livingston of Georgia, who
are members of Ihe congressional joint
committee on labor, agriculture and capi
ta.’, are two others of Speaker Reed’s ap
pointees. The fifth is Representative Theo
bold Otjen of Wisconsin, who has had a
Jong experience with general legislation
in the House.
The other appointees are nine chosen by
President McKinley, and he 6eems to
have shown unusual discrimination in
picking them out. Andrew L. Harris of
Ohio, one of them, was Lieutenant Gov
ernor when President McKinley was Gov
ernor of Ohio, and he brings an almost
inexhaustible fund of information on agri
cultural topics to the work of the com
mission. S. N. D. North of Massachu
setts is known in statistical circles all
over the country, and is secretary of the
Wool Manufacturers’ Association. It is
said he can have the control of the na
tional census bureau for the asking. Mr.
Ellison A. Smyth of South Carolina and
Mr. Charles J. Harris of North Caro
lina are managers and proprietors of
large manufacturing concerns in their
states, which keep them in closest touch
with the business interests of the country.
Other members are former Representa
tive John M. Farquhar of New York, Mr.
Eugene D. Conger of Michigan, the pub
lisher of a daily newspaper; former Repre
sentative Thomas W.Phill ps of Pennsylva
nia, Mr. M. D. Ratchford of Indiana, and
Mr. John L. Kennedy, who has for years
been connected with the typographical
union.
From this review it can easily be seen
that the industrial commission has a great
public duty to do, and is well equipped to
do it.
BASEBALL FOR THOMASVILLE.
A Bailiff Appointed for City Chart of
Thomas County.
Thomasvi ie, Ga., Jan. 28—Fred C. Clarke,
manager of the Louisville base ball club,
(popularly known as the “Colonels," has
been in the city several days and during
his stay here has completed arrangements
for his team to do their winter training
in Thomasville. They will be here during
March.
Mrs. Lieut. St. Charles B. Gwynn Is
visiting relatives in this city. It was her
husband who hoisted the stars and stripes
at Matanzas upon its evacuation by the
Spaniards.
Judge Rhddenberry of the County Court,
has appointed H. B. Martin County Court
bailiff. While the law provides for such
an officer, one has never been appointed
here before, the sheriff performing the
duties which he will now perform. This
latter procedure was entirely regular,
however, as it was optional with the judge
under the law creating his office, whether
he had a special bailiff or not. It is raid
this appointment will cut about SI,OOO a
year from the income of the sheriff. No
complaint is made against the sheriff in
the performance of his duties.

mission filed a supplemental report set
ting forth that Howard R. Wright had
promised to vote Cor Robert A. Bulla for
United States se/ator, in the event of
Wright's election to the assembly over a
year ago.
The report of the committee filed yester
day was to have come up to-day as a spe
cial order. It went over until Monday
afternoon, however, at which time both
reports will be considered.
The deadlock still continues, the vote
to-day was practically the same as that
of yesterday, although the absence of sev
eral members pulled the vote down.
This afternoon, just before the vote was
taken, the majority, if not all the members
who were voting for U. S. Grant, Jr., re
ceived the following telegram from his
mother, Julia D. Grant, in Washington:
“I thank you for your loyal support of
my son, Ulysses S. Grant.

THE GRIDIRON CLUB BURLESQUES
EVENTS OF THE DAY.
Solemn Secrecy Enjoined Upon the
Ratification of thc Treaty—There
upon Extra* With thc New* Are
Brought In—How Senator Chaun
eey Depew Mas Sworn In—Play on
the Mormon Question —Many Prom
inent Guests Present.
Washington. Jan. 28,—The Gridiron Club
gave its fourteenth annual dinner at the
Arlington Hotel to-night.
The club is composed of forty Washing
ton newspaper correspondents who have
a specially of the entertainment of distin
guished guesis at dinners of a unique char
acter.
The dinner to-night was no exception,
and has another notable and picturesque
performance to the credit of the club.
More than 175 persons were present, in
cluding men from every sphere of public
life, and from different quarters of the
globe. Many features of entertainment
were introduced, such as burlesquing
events of the day, touching upon topics of
general interest and humorously imper
sonating prominent men who were guests
of the evening. The speeches and features
were interspersed with songs by the club
quartette, solos and witty interruptions
and observations.
Gen. Henry V. Boynton, the newly elect
ed president of the club, occupied the head
of the table. Grouped about hlmiwere men
whose fame has extended whenever the
English language is read and spoken.
The dining room at the Arlington was
handsomely decorated with North Carolina
laurel hung with festoons of pink ribbons.
The tables, which were arranged to re
semble a gridiron, were covered with ferns,
in which pink roses and orchids were em
bedded. A blazing gridiron just back of
the President threw a luster over the
scene and was reflected In the plate glass
sides of the room.
Toast to the President.
President Boynton, In a patriotic utter
ance, opened with a toast to the President
of the United States. This is an innova
tion. He concluded the toast, as follows;
“And to-night it shall be to THAT Presi
dent under whose masterly guidance the
marvelous results of the year have been
wrought out."
Among the speakers of the evening were
Senators Frye, Gorman and Foraker, Sec
retary Wilson, Mr. Komura, the Japa
nese minister; Gen. Corbin, Admiral
Schley, Mr. Depew, Mr. Allen and Senator
Gray of Delaware, a member of the peace
commission.
The initiation of Mr. Henry Hall afford
ed an opportunity for a play upon the
Mormon question. As he came into the
room he was followed by four alleged
wives, personated by members of the club
In female costume, who were attached to
him by gaily colored ribbons. Mr. Hall
was not allowed admission to the club un
til divorces had been secured, which were
speedily granted with the assistance of a
Chicago lawyer. The wailing grass wid
ows were provided for by lottery, each
pulling out of a basket a large card with
the name of some prominent guest attach
ed, a preceeding which created much
mirth.
Rntlfled the Treaty.
The Gridiron Club ratified the treaty of
peace. A mock executive session of the
Senate was held, different members of the
club impersonating various senators prom
inently Identified either for or against the
treaty, and after brief discussion and sev
eral funny Incidents, the treaty was fin
ally ratified.
President Boynton then declared that
the greatest secrecy be maintained as to
the action taken, stating that on no ac
count should the proceedings In executive
session be allowed to become public. As
he ceased speaking a great clamor was
heard at the doors, and, Mr. Crosby S.
Noyes, editor of the Star, came In at one
door with a large bundle of extra Stars
under his arm, while Mr. Beriah Wilkins,
editor of the Post, entered at another with
as many extra Posts. Cries of "Extra
Star," and "Extra Post,” together with
“AH about the ratification of the peace
treaty in executive session,” were loudly
voiced by the two gentlemen, and the pa
pers containing the detailed, vote and thc
proceedings of the secret session were dis
tributed among the guests, to the great
amusement of the many senators present.
Clianncey Sworn In.
The swearing in of Senator-elect Chaun
cey M. Depew furnished another phase of
a Gridiron repast that was appreciated by
everybody, and by none more than Mr.
Depew himself. A member of the club
personating Senator Platt insisted on Mr.
Depew’s being sworn in, and a represen
tation of a large book labeled "Depew’s
Jokes” stalked in and after some objec
tions and debate, the oath of office was
administered, and the book was directed
to be conducted to the Senate restaurant.
A little later it was insisted that the
proceedings were irregular and that the
other part of Mr. Depew should have
something to say, and this was agreed
upon. A curtain was swept aside and a
phonograph, in full view, began to grind
out some of Mr. Depew’s stories.
The conferring of ten-year medals af
forded' another opportunity for sharp fun,
but In this instance the members of the
club were put upon the gridiron. A civil
service examination was instituted, and
the members receiving medals were cate
chised upon different subjects and each
made to perform some specialty. Those
receiving medals were E. J. Gibson. Louis
Garthe, Frank H. Hosford, A. J. Stofer,
John A. Corwin and E. B. Hay.

THE PROFESSIONAL WOHHIER.
Will Bear Your Burden* for You at
So Much Per Hurd.
From the New Orleans Picayune.
This is an age of new things, and occult
science has developed substances, condi
tions and professions that were only
dreamed of in other days. A New Orleans
man of culture, who has always been we.t
fixed and has never been without market
money, and never had business troubles,
has been quite successful in establishing
a “Don't Worry” school. He has done
much good. He has brought sunshine
and happiness into homes from which they
had been driven out by worry. He has
discounted trouble that his friends would
insist upon borrowing, and has smoothed
away wrinkles that would come across the
foreheads of fretting people. Yet there
are some people who will not be naturally
comforted; and for them anew angel has
appeared in the shape of a professional
worrier.
This man, whb has been quite success
ful in his business in New York, may
soon come to New Orleans in person, or
open a branch office here. For those peo
ple who think worrying is necessary to
carry on their business, he will be a
welcome relic-f. Some careless men have
become hardened oi heart, and tough
of skin; they borrow money they never
intend to return; they run up board
hills or grocery bills they never Intend
to pay; they stand off tailors for fine
clothes they wear without cver'expecting
to own. They are not worried. They say
let the other fellows—the men we owe—
do the worrying.
That is an easy shifting of trouble for
the thick-skinned and tough; but It will
not do for the honest, sensitive people
who take their misfortunes and troubles
to heart. They believe that worrying
must ire done, and that they must do
it. It is for such ns these that the pro
fessor of worry will open his institute.
The man who doesn't care a tinker's
little soft solder dam of bread what
happens, will have no use for the pro
fessor of worry. He is for those who
are convinced that worrying must be
done. They go to the professor who un
dertakes to do worrying for other people,
and they pay him according to their
needs and his schedule of prices. It is
said that in ordinary eases he will charge
not more than $2 per worry. In more
serious cases he must tie retained by
the day, and be given much more money.
He is worth it. A great many men are
made miscral lo by worrying over affairs
that would t-orne out all the same if
they did not worry. But they are built
to worry and make themselves sick over
it and make all people about them miser
able. Tne professor who will do thc
worrying for them is a happy relief.
Damon and Pythias were such friends
that one would die for the other. David
and Jonathan would bear each other’s
Wees. There is said to be an honor
imong thieves that would make one suf
fer imprisonment for another as a test
of friendship. Men have been known to
ccmm t murder, and to swear falsely
for a friend. But the professor of worry
is not of this class. He assumes no man's
crimes. He is not cat’s paw. He is in
legitimate business, and simply offers
to do the worrying for nervous i>eople
who think that worrying should be done.
He corpes very near tilling a long-felt
want, and should be encouraged. Don’t
worry. Dot the professor of worry do
all that for you.
MISSKI) A GOOn THING.
Invested In Keely’a Motor Instead of
Went I n khoimc's Kn^luei.
From the New Orleans Times-Demoorat.
“I don’t believe in Barnum’s cynical
axiom that the public likes to be hum
bugged, *’ said a visitor from Philadel
phia, “but 1 must confess there are times
when it really seems to be the case. I
remember very distinctly when Prof.
Keely of motor fame first bobbed up with
a queer jumble of cogw and pistons and
a string of big words calculated to awe
the thoughtless, and just before I left
home, a few days ago, his executor made
a candid admission that no secret of any
kind had been left behind. which is tanta
mount to saying that the gullible Phila
delphia public put over $500,000 in a thing
of air. I was among the fools, and there
ia one little circumstance in connection
with my investment that sirikes me, Upon
looking backward, as being rather pictur
esque. Dike almost every resident of Phil
adelphia, I had become deeply interested
in the motor scheme, and my curiosity
was piqued to the last degree by Ike
vague but fascinating desertions print
ed from time to time in the papers. More
over, I was well acquainted with several
of those who owned stock, and I had great
confidence in their judgment and sagacity.
It so happened that I had about SSOO ly
ing idle at the time, and, to make u long
story short, I finally concluded to invest
it in the enterprise, anew company hav
ing just been organized among the form
er stockholders and the oecurities placed
on the market. Before I could do so, how
ever, n young lawyer of my acquaintance
dropped in at the office anil told me that
he had a mighty good opening In view for
a small investment.
“It seemed that a mechanical genius In
Pittsburg had devised anew type of en
gine that was to all appearances a vast
Improvement over anything yet built, but
he was as poor as a church mouse, and
needed money to secure foreign patents
and construct working models. He was
willing to assign a half interest in the In
vention to anybody who would put up
enough cash to get It launched, and a mu
tual friend in Pittsburg, who had seen the
machine, and was deeply Impressed with
its practicability, had given him a very
strong letter of recommendation to the
young attorney. I heard the story through
and told my visitor that I was very sorry
but his proposition came just a trifle too
late. I had made up my mind, 1 said, to
put what little spare cash 1 had on hand
in another kind of mechanical the
Keely motor —and was intending that very
day to go over to the company’s headquar
ters and put down my name for a small
block of the new issue of otock. At that
time Keely Motor stock was regarded
with profound respect in Philadelphia,
and there was nothing in the least fan
tastic about my proposal to Invest In It.
So the lawyer made no special effort to
dissuade me, but at the same time he
could not conceal his disappointment, and
said he felt sure I was missing a rare and
exceptional chance. ‘Time will tell.’ I re
plied sagely and time has told In a manner
peculiarly emphatic and Impressive. The
name of the Pittsburg genius who wanted
a few hundred dollars to get his engine be
fore the world was George Westlnghouse.
If I had embraced the opportunity and
obtained an Interest in his engine I would
have realized several million dollars in
side of five years. As it was I gave my
little old SSOO to Mr. Keely, paid fully SOOO
more In assessments, and realized nothing
but a large dividend of anxiety. It cer
tainly seems a good joke nowadays that
the Westlnghouse engine should have gone
bogging for backers, while the Keely mo
tor had only to open its books when It
wanted money.”
