A NEW PARTY IN THE ARENA Rational Leagues ol Independents are Getting Together, CONFERENCE IS HELD Delegates from Thirty States Meet in New York and Plans of Organization are Outlined. The organization of a national In dependence League was decided upon at a meeting in New York Friday of representatives of state Independence Leagues and others who are in sym pathy with the objects of these leagues as outlined in state or local platforms. The national body will be a solidifi cation of minor leagues existing or yet to be formed. Its alms are po litical in opposition to the republican and democratic parties, which the league promoters declare are domi nated by corporation interests and no longer are representative of the peo ple. Friday’s conference was held at Car negie hall, where some 200 men, said to represent thirty states, met at the invitation of * the local Independence League, and tvere addressed by Wil liam Randolph Hearst, the gubernato rial candidate last fall of the Inde pendence League and democratic par ties in New York state. Before his endorsement by the democratic state convention and subsequent defeat by Governor Hughes, Mr. Hearst was the municipal league’s candidate for maj l '- or and was beaten by Mayor McClel lan, the democratic nominee. Preceding the business meeting the participants were given an informal reception by Mr. Hearst at the Gilsey house, where most of those from out of-town stopped. At the hall, afternoon and evening sessions were held, the feature of the afternoon being the address of Mr. Hearst, who said that the conference had been called to discuss the advis ability of forming a national Independ ence League. He told of the suc cess of the league in New York, Mas sachusetts and California, and urged the formation of a minor league in every state and the union of all in a general body. The republican and democratic parties, he said, were hope lessly in the control of corporation in terest. They failed, he said, to truly represent the people, and a third par ty was sorely needed. There were other speeches, after which two com mittees, one on organization and an other to prepare a platform outlining the aims of the national body, were appointed. OIL EXPLOSION KILLS THR^E.

Mrs. Flatdweller Enlightens Mr. Flat dweller on the Subject. Mrs. Flatdweller has a bad cold; one of those long, lingering colds; and lately she has hadptd add to her dis comforts, some coughing spells; and Mr. Flatdweller, has’tried to be very sympathetic; and when he hears somebody coughing in the fiat over head he says; ‘ Hello, there’s somebody coughing upstairs, now.” ‘‘Man or woman?’’ says Mrs. Flat dweller. “Man or woman?” repeats Mr. Flat dweller, ‘why, how should I know? ‘And he adds with what is intended to be pleasant good humor; “I can’t see through the ceiling and the floor, you know.” “You don’t have to,” Mrs. Flat dweller says. “I should think you could tell that by the sound of the cough; they don’t cough anything at all alike.” “They don’t?” says the astonished Mr. Flatdweller, “what’s the differ ence?” and then says Mrs. Flatdwel ler: “Why, one coughs with a man’s voice, and the other coughs with a woman’s voice.” And at that Mr. Flatd-weller said nothing aloud; but he said to himself that that was the first time he ever knew that the sex of an unseen cougher could be told by the sound of the cough.—New York Sun.

Contract For Canned Meats Flaced in Chicago—British Wffr Office Has Every Confidence in the Slone yard Product. Another large contract for tinned meats for the British Army has been placed with Libby, McNeill & Libby, of Chicago, through the Director of Supplies Department of the British War Office. This contract was a com petitive affair, England, Canada, Aus tralia and Brazil entering with ten ders. It was quality and method of packing that got the Chicago firm the business. General Clayton, of the War Department, in an interview, ac cording to the London Standard, stated that the British Government is highly satisfied with the foodstuffs supplied by Chicago, and they have every confidence in the manufactures entering Britain from the Stockyards. “The food for the Army will be packed under the supervision of Brit ish representatives at the invitation of the packers,” he said, “although the Government is ready to rely upon the new Pure Food regulations re cently inaugurated in the United States. All the talk about the inef ficiency of the new law is sheer non- j sense. British oificers in America have gone fully into the matter and ; the authorities are perfectly satisfied to place orders in Chicago when con ditions call for outside supplies of canned meats.” A man isn’t necessarily two-faced because ha has a double chin.
