LABORING MEN IN CONVENTION American Federation Holds Annual Session In Boston Delegates Represent 2,000,000 Workers. Boston , Mass. , Now. G. Headquar- tora were opened today by Secretary Frank Morrison of the American Federation of Labor in anticipation of the twenty-third annual conven tion of the organization which begins Monday In Faneull Hall. Many of the delegates have already arrived and It Is oxpectcd that by tomorrow noon all of the 5,000 delegates , rep resenting among them 2,000,000 or ganized wage earners of the United States , will have put In an appear ance. Seldom If over before In the his tory of the federation has one of its conventions attracted such wide spread attention as will center in the pioccedlngs of the coming week. For the llrst tlmo In nearly a decade there promises to bo a splrlto.l contest - test for the presidency.

Perhaps the llrst Confederate ImnU raided by Union soldiers was one at ClmrloMon , Va. , as Milroy was making his way up the Shonuiuloah valley. "Humming" was in its infancy then , but a dozen of the follows found thorn- H'lvos uhiMul of the army and i evolved lo strike for a big stake. They made a sntldtm attack on the town at day light and then dashed In and made for the bank. They broke In the door with nn ax , obliged the banker to unlock bis safe and something Hue ? 000,000 was carried away as they retreated. A day later they bundled up $100,000 , strapped It on the back of an old lame mule and hi nil a farmer to deliver the "wealth" to General Milroy In inn-son. Accompanying the money was a note , which advised the general to bribe the Confederates to keep ahead of him and do no fighting. As his military maneu vers had been checkmated right along and his reputation was under a cloud , It was a hard shot nt him. The story Rot to Washington and was commented on by President Lincoln , and It has been asserted that the president's lev ity caused the general to tender his resignation. Prcpnrocl For < lic AVorMl. Mr. Brown's enemies say that there Is nothing else In the world he enjoys so much as finding fault and putting other people In the wrong. When en gaged In this pleasing occupation , ho loses all hold on a sense of humor , which Is none too keen at other times. Not long ago.he and his wife were taking a trip through the White moun tains , and at one place they were to bo called at half past 5 In the morning to take an early train. Mr. Brown wak ened first and after a glance ut his watch fell back on his pillow with a groan that frightened his wife out of her slumbers. "Hero It Is on the tick of half past 8 , " grumbled Mr. Brown in response to his wife's troubled questions , "nnd If they don't call us within live min utes wo shan't have time enough to get dressed and cat breakfast But It's no more than I cxnected.

The electrical fishes do not belong to any one class or group some arc found In fresh water , while others Inhabit the sea. They possess two distinct types of electrical organs. One closely relates In structure to muscle , as found In the torpedo , gymnotus and skate , while the other presents more of the characters of the structure of a secreting gland , ns Illustrated by the electrical organ of the thunderflsh. Both types are built upon a vast number of micro scopical elements , each of which is supplied with a nerve fiber. These nerve fibers come from largo nerves that originate In the nerve centers , brain or spinal cord , and In these cen ters are found special largo nerve cells , with which the nerve libers of the electric organs are connected and from which they spring. Yet the electricity IB generated In the electric organ Itself. In these animals there arc specialized organs for the production of electricity on an economical basis far surpassing anything yet contrived by man. Amer ican Inventor.
