The features of the show this season will bo Rajah , the big elephant , and Tom , the boxing kanparoo. Rajah has been In this country ono year and is gradually becoming civilized and nccuptomed to the ways of th American circus. The circus posters this summer will say that Rajah Is "a veritable moving mountain , whose stately tread makes the earth tremble , " and the writer of circus literature has not stretched his elastic Imag ination much in making this statement cither. Rajah Is without doubt the largest elephant In captivity anywhere. He Is two- inches taller than the late lamented Jumbo was in life and weighs 3,000 pounds more. The reporter didn't take the agent's state ment for this , but measured the big brute himself , and can therefore speak as one hav ing authority. Rajah'a keJper , Frank Fisher , stays by his sldo night and day and the two are as much In love with each other as a newly married couple. Frank Is an old-time elephant trainer and Is loaded to the muzzle with Interesting stories of the habits and In telligence of the "big tins. " Ho has been with the Lemcn show about a year and has been connected with all the big shows at different times. Omaha , Wednesday , May 16. A HO.MI : Anil Income In THO Years.

Some months ago Anna Sammons filed a petition asking that the courts divorce her from her husband , William , she alleging that the husband was a bad man and that ho had treated her In a "most brutal man ner. Yesterday William filed his answer , In which he alleges that It was his wife and not him self that was the brute. In making his showing ho avers that ever since entering the marriage relations with Anna ho has been an exemplary husband ; that ho has worked early and late on a dray wagon , trying to gather sufficient money to support tlio family , , consisting of hlimclf , the wlfo nnd u bread of small children. While ho has boon doing all of this ho maintains that his wife has been striking him in the face , calling him foul names and associat ing with obnoxious people.

At a conference of labor lenders hold In Philadelphia last week a movement was launched which evidently hns for Its pur pose tlio nmnlgnmatlon of all the labor or ganizations of the country. The meeting was the outcome of the agitation started something over a year ago by Tcrrenco V. Powderly , Joseph H. Bu chanan and a few other labor leaders ol national prominence. The call was Issued by Buchanan ami waa In part as follows : "Tho most serious phase of the present situation Is the unorganized condition ol the labor movement Itself. Our unions arc scattered and sundered , and In some cases are wasting their energies In warring upon each other. There must bo a thorough unification , a close alliance of all organized workers , without regard to creed , occupa tion , sex or nationality. "Not being connected with any organiza tion In an olllclal capacity not the slightest question can bo raised as to my motives In culling this conference. The aim of tlio con ference will bo not to displace or weaken any existing organization , but to strengthen and Increase the power of each. " Something over sixty authorize , ! delegates attended the conference , nearly all of whom were men of national note In labor circles. Some dissatisfaction was noted on account of the date of the meeting being flxcd when the executive board of the Knights of Labor was In session In Chicago , and a few of those present thought that It was n scheme to keep the authorized representatives of the Knights- out of the conference , but before the deliberations began J. G. Schonfarbcr , the editor of the Knights of Labor Journal , appeared with his credentials and showed a willingness to say what he thought of the measures advocated. John B. Lennon of the Journeymen Tafors union , A. W. Wright of the Knights of Labor and M. M. Garland of the lion and Steel Workers union were appointed on credentials- After the conference had been organized Mr. Buchanan took the floor to explain the objects of the conference , which ho did In a very able manner and at great length. He said that the agitation for n union of all the labor forces had been going on for some years past and that If the leaders of the various labor organizations would not take up the matter and push It to completion the rank and file would soon see to It that loaders were chosen who would carry out the wishes of the workers. Sir. Buchanan declared that the time was ripe when , the tellers should bestir themselves In an effort to arouse the workers of all trades and callings from their lethargy to Immedjate , positive and far-reaching action. There would have to be radical changes be fore labor would receive Its just reward. He thought that this meeting would be product ive of good results If all present would work In harmony and do their best. The tellers should combine to protect themselves against man's natural selfishness. He favored po litical action as the one remedy to lead the workers to success. P. J. SIcGuire of the Brotherhood of Car penters and Joiners was not so positive of this being the right way to go at reforming the country , "but was willing to give It n trial If so many others thought it would produce the results desired. John B. Len non spoke heartily In favor of the plan and thought that an overwhelming majority of the members of his union In the country favored some such a scheme , whereby the workers of all classes might bo Joined to gether to protect themselves and the govern ment. Samuel Gompers , president of the Federa tion of Labor , said that this plan was the only feasible ono and that the federation could not be reorganized unless the knights gave up their trade assemblies. No other plan of unification would work. The Federa tion of Railroad men should also come Into the Federation of Labor. A. W. Wright of the Knights of Labor thought that the federation should make concessions to the knights that nil mixed organizations could bo organized under the knights , In consider ation that the trades assemblies go Into the federation. Mr. I'owderly thought that the members could easily belong to both , and cited the fact that the brewery workers now had charters under both the federation and the Knights of Labor. J. G. Schonfarber , the authorized repre sentative of the knights , then addressed the conference. Ho said : "I come hero represent ing the general executive board of the Knights of Labor with explicit Instructions. I certainly cannot take anv action favoring Mr. Buchanan's-idea or a-"c on a committee where the resolution Is approved. I favor unification on economic and political lines but am surprised that Mr. Buchanan should recommend the breaking down of the trades assemblies of the Knights of Labor to build up another order. " This declaration stirred up considerable trouble , which It seemed for a time would end In n split of the con ference , but finally cooler heads prevailed and while nothing definite was decided upon , a committee was appointed to further Investigate and ECO what could be done to ward the objects sought. Delegates were present from the following organizations : The Knights of Labor , The Federation of Labor , Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen Clgarmokers International union , Central Labor unions , United Hatters of America , Garment Cutters , union , Amalgamated Lace Curtain workers , Bridge Workers Interna tional union , Tailors union , Brotherhood of Hallway Trainmen , United Garment workers , Bricklayers and Masons union , Cutlery Workers union , Hotel and Restaurant Em ployes alliance , United Green Glass Workers.

Forty employes of Simon's silk mill at Union Hill , N. J. , rtruck under orders from a committee of their union , but 110 other employes refused to obey the order. Another reduction of 10 cents In wages was made at Bellolro blast furnace , at Bel- lalre , O. This makes the second reduction this year and affects over 200 men. The 300 Iron miners of the Mt.

About 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon two men went Into the merchant tailor shop of R. Kallsh , 315 North Sixteenth street , when ono of them approached him , and reaching Into his pocket drew out 10 cnts and handIng - Ing it to Mr. Kallsh said , "I would like to have you sew a button on my pants. " Mr. Kallsh Invited the other man to a chair , while ho sewed on the button. Ho then took the man Into the rear of his store to do the sewing , and when he returned ho noticed that the man ho had Invited to a chair had disappeared. He further discovered that three bolts of fine cloth had disappeared with him. Mr. Kallsh at once said to the man for whom ho sewed on the button , "Where did the other man go and where ore my goods. " The man replied ho did not know anything about thei other party ; that ho was not acquainted with htm , and ho knew less about the goods. JKallsh Uld him ho would hold him for the 'goods ' , as ho thought ho knew something about them and where the other man was likely to go. The fellow appeared to be astonished that h& should betaken taken for a thief. , but he got out of It In this way. He told Mr. Kalish that It would bo a good plan forlboth of them to go at once and search for the man and the goods , ono going one way and ono going the other. To this Mr , Kallsh partly assented , but said they would go together , and ho held a firm grip on the man's * coat. To tlio corner of Sixteenth and Chicago strcetH they went and looked up and down , but no man was In sight. Kalish then commenced to ask the man where the other had gone and uomo other questions , but ha had occasion to look away a moment , /When the man broke and ran , leaving his coat In Mr. Kallsh's hands. There was nothing ; ) ! ! the pockets to Indicate who the man was. The two men were seen to meet at Fifteenth and Webster streets , at least It was supposed to be them , as one had a bolt of clotll under his arm , and the other was In his shirt sleeves , but as the theft was not then known no arrests were made.
