' ALLIANCE DEPARTMENT What Was Accomplished at the Birmingham Meeting. is Address Issued Brother hood of the National Alliance and Industrial Union. Birmingham. Ala. ? At the meeting of Southern Alliance presidents ancl ex^ ccutive committeemen, a committee of nine was appointed, headed by McDow ell of Tennessee, and C . W. Macune, to frame sn address to the Alliancemen of the United States. While the committee was at ?ork the conference was. occupicd by speech-making and general discus sions. In the afternoon the committee reported a long address, which pleads for harmony and ignores politics. It was taken up and read by sections, amended and aebated. When the matter of throwing the Alli ance with the third party came up. a vote was taken, and the move was defeated by a rote of 21 to 16. After a loog strug gle, a compromise was effected by issu ing the following address, which was adopted, after which the meeting ad journed: > <*?===a?^J Tq the Brotherhood of the National Alii- ' ance and Industrial Union : We, the presidentaTand e^cutive offi Cers of the States of Tennessee, Ken tucky, Missouri, Texas, Louisiaaa, Mis sissippi, Alabama, Georgia, West Virgin ia and Florida, together with members of our national executive committee, nation al legislative committee, national judi ciary committee and President L. L. Polk, having been callecf- together in council to consider the reported peculiar conditiocs fn the order in the Southern States, which it was believed seriously ' threatened that harmony, brotherly love and unity of action so necessary to the success of our cause and the success of the order in these Sfctev .after counsel ling together and Rearing detailed re ports, rejoice to say, to you that we feel greatly encouraged gad inspired by the splendid spirit of unity and determined adherence to principle which pervades the order in nearly every one of tliese States, notwithstanding the combined ef forts of our enemies to sow seed of dis - cord in our ranks pending the heated po litical contest*, local and national. We therefore feel it our duty, as ser vants of the people we represent, stand ing upon the outposts ami watch-tower .of tins the greatest political rrevoluti on OTerxB???u to the nation/ to say to you thilt we have entered a crucial period in the history of our great reform move ment, in which '.he greatest caution, earnest deliberation ana strict adherence to our principles arc necessary |o preserve intact that organization which stands to day as the sheet-anchor and hppe of millions of wealth producers in the ercat battle for the "God- given rights of-hu manityr^* * You are congratulated upon the great harmony and unity of sentiment in re gard to Alliance principles which pre vails within your borders, and upon the fact that a carefel canvass of the subject at this meeting has .shown that practi cally tne ..members of the order in these Si atcs stand squarely upon the demands, with the avowed detfti^nation of held ing devotion to them ab<Ne that to any method of action, and thaV today the 4 number of those who se endorsetthe pi iu ciples of the Alliance is mucl\greater than ever before. A sentiment also prevails, strong ud uniform, that this great order, as an* ganization, is the greatest of all modril forces for the spread of reform educa tion, and tha?: its work must be perpetu ated and encouraged in this high sphere, entirely free from any partisan entangle ments. / The only dangers which seeifh in an v [.way to threaten a lack of the faliest de * velopment and prosperity of the order are those which attend the disposition of a few m<n and papers to publicly criti cise and^ofifteB&a others for the'r metii ods. This is not of sufficient extent to damage the orderN^ut it mars that per legt^unity that should prevail, aud al wajs injures all concerned, and it is con trary to the spirit ojf brotherty-4eve and forbearance that sHouid prevail. Another evil,' which fortunately pre vails only in a very few localities, is the disposition of members to seek political office at the hr.n<wof their bcetbi . n, for getting that principle of AlHnnqe doc trine which declares that the office should seek the man and not the man the office. In consideration of these views as to the situation, the following rules of ac tion are suggested, as well calculated to enable the order to go through the com iag ordeal of a tierce political contest and|come out strengthened and purified : 1. ^et a spirit of harmony^evail and let unitwg>& action be the rule, ^et none condemn a brother who stands fcquarely bytke principles- of |hc order or speak in j any Mray disparingty or disrespectfully : of him because ttiey nay differ as to the best methods of jsafon ing our principles. I Grant to every pother honesty of nur- 1 pose. ']! 2. Let fealty to the priociples of the order be the true and only test of mem bership, and let thoa<; who value their partisan affiliations nicie than their Alli ance obligations be in formed that their order demands strict and full deration to its principles, and leaves each to his own choice as to methods, bet that the method can in no case control the princi ple, and therefere all who affiliate should accept as supreme the principles of the order. 8. Every member who. takes the obli gation aiway? administered to those who join is first told, as a condition precedent upon which all that is to fo'lovc is predi cate that it shall in no way interfere^ with your political or religifc* liberty. Therefore, this order, as such. or any of ifi branches, has no o take a Bi partisan. political or sectarian religious action. We urge upon the brotherhood of all ref-TOi organizations, an<t all good citizens who believe, as we do. that the enactment of laws based upon our d* - mands is for the preservation of tbe free institutions of our Government and to rescue the ma scs from degrade 1 servi * tude. that they use ail honorable means to secure the election of men to onr na tional legislative councils who stand pledged to work for the passage of. such - laws. , * Finally, brethren, remember that de f Vbtion to our principles can only * e em phasized and our influence made effec ' live by voting for our demands at tbe ballot box. We send greetings to the brotherhood in the North and tne Great Northwest ami a?uiv hem that our hearts lx**t ic unison 4?itu them in th^r for ii><iu<trial * freedom^ and we will -t?:i?l hy t''rm '? all lau we efforts to redeem this country . from the clvtclgs of organized capital, and that we will stand with them at the ballot box for the j eolfigMment of the demands [S^ned bv all the members orf the con [ ference.] % i i " C~* j One Alliance president in his speech i burst into tears -while he spoke for the ?

The crocus, for instance, frequently fold? its perianth over its winged visitors, *nci in early spring the captured insect oftCD penshes over night with cold or from the exhalations of the flower.

There is something pathetic about the description of the town of Punta Arenas Terra del Fuego, loeated on the strait about midway bet wee tf the two oceans, ^4bat town which is the southernmost settlement upon the face of the earth. Fifteen hundred people tind life worth living in this place, notwithstanding the fact^hat one of the characteristics of the neigborhood Is the frequent prevalent of a mighty wind which sweeps down j from the mountains back c>f the towr ! with such force and suddenness as to overwhelm a ship lying broadside on be fore she can swing her head around and ride oijfc.tht' gale. The town itself is a miicraoie collection of huts and hovels, but is a point of gr^fc strategic value t? j ' this country as a coaling station in <^as< j of war with a South American power* Professoi Lec presented several vjewi of the inhabitants of Terra del Fu^go, ! charming creatures, with their thin. \at- I tentuated limbs and portly stomachs T^se beauties allow their hair to gcbw lon? and hang down straight. Then they plaster it with seal oil and red clay, which hardens an j makes a complcU waterproof covering for theirheads. Th? natives possess the faculty of imitating a sound and Professor Lee undertook t? teach them a song. He succeeded so well that when he departed from their midst a group stood upon t'ae 6hore and sercn aded him with V Father, Dear Father, Come Home With Me Now. "?Washing ton Star. "Black Friday."

A Worrier of Sotenee. On: of the most delicate surgical operations ever perfor axed in San Fran cisco was that to which A. B&ehtn, a patient at the City and Count y Hospital, was subjected recently. The operation was remarkable in that an endoscope, or 9mall electric light, was used during the process. This was thrust into the thorjc ic cavity, and by its illumination the ac tion of the heirt and lungs WW plainly visible. Baeh n was afflcted with a a abscess, which had formed in the pleural cavity and attacked the left lung. The opera lion was an exceedingly dangerous one, and in order not to shock the patient no mention of the intention of the physicians was made to him. The sick man wai quickly ao?ithet ized and the in Sated breast was ciposed to view. A discoloration on the left side showed that the trouble lay under the tissue in that direction, aud Dr. El lin wood began operations at once by making two deep incisions crosswise, from which the blood spurted in streams. Several of the larger blood vessels were necessarily cut, but these were quickly ligatured with Dr. Stillman's assistance. The flaps of flesh were laid to one Side, exposing the third rib to view. This rib was resected for thrift inches, and wh?3 it was cut away a dark and bloody open ing was revealed', through which the thoracic cavity aoU the *paoe between the lungs could be seen. Pr. Hirshfelder inserted the endoscope through the op?n? in>? in Bteirn s breast and the light ? turned on, illuminating the int the cavity with remarkable di The heart worked Slowly, 01 effect of ether. The aorta fell with every heart beat. Tha lung was also plainly visible. During ti e one hour and a half consumed in making the operation the action of the heart was dis tinctly visible, and the unusual tight the subject of much comment upoa the part of the operators; and spectator?. When the process ;was completed and every vestige of {ras removed, the endo scope was withdrawn, and the opening in Baefem's breast closed. The operation was a highly successful one in every par ticular, and Baehtns condition shows that hois gaining strength. ?Electricity. ? . j The largest truss open brftjrcria CaJt 'fornia is over Bet Huirtoldt County, ml b t stogie spaa of! 3W tec, | * .
