LoN DON, J 11116 6. ——The conference of the
National Reform union, a movement in
favor of the abolition of the house of lords,
or at least a considerable abridgment oi
the power of that body, was opened here
this morning :1 ml the Hon. Philip J ames'
Stanhope, M. P. ., in the chair.
Mr. Labouchere submitted a resolution
that whenever the house of lords should
reject a'bill which had been passed by the
‘ house of commons it would only be neces.
sary for the latter body to signify its up;
prove] of the measure by a formal vote,
when the bill would forthwith become a
law. In proposing the resolution Mr. La-
bouchere said that he himself was in fa.-
vor of the ‘abolition‘ of the house of lords,
root and branch, but to be practical they
must ”first see what they are likely to ac-
complish. The house of lords, he said,
was an irre ponsible and pernicious assem-
bly, which as opposed to the elementary
principles of self government, and there-
fore it ought to be swept out of existence.
Mr. R. J. Burnie, M. P, made, a speech
seconding the motion of Mr. Labouchere,
and it was adopted by a. unanimous vote.
Sir Charles Dilke introduced a resolution
that the franchise ought to rest upon the
personal fitness of the voter alone and
not depend upon the possession of proper-
ty or the occupation of premises. ,.
In his speech Mr. Labouchere said, ‘-‘ The
house of lords is a. most pernicious and ir-
responsible assembiy and the’ active ele-
ment of evil in the constitution. ”
PREMIER CRISPI OUT AGAIN.
Downfall of the Italian Cabinet Due to
Failure of Financial Reforms.
ROME, June 6.-—In the chamber of dep-
uties today Premier Crispi announced
that the cabinet had resigned.
The king has reserv'cn 1115 decision in
.regard to accepting or refusing to accept
the resignations of his ministers.
The resignation of the Crispl cabinet
was the outcome of the conference at mid-
night of the ministers, who discussed the
smallness of the majoirty by which Signor
Crispi’s proposal to bring about financial
reform was adopted by the chamber of
deputies.
The vote by which the premier’ s mo-
tion was adopted was 225 to 214, a ma-
jority of only 11.
ROGUISH LITTLE MINCH.
The Trick by Which the Famous Race
Horse Got His Name.
Many stories are told of Little Minch,
the race horse, which indicate that he
is a remarkably sagacious animal. Some
would assert that he is capable of rea-
soning, but horse fanciers are liable to
distort instinct and pure roguishness
into reason and sagacity. It is said that
while this son of Glenelg was being
transported east afterhis sale as a year-
ling he was given a nickname 'by a raili
road engineer that was subsequently ap~ .
plied to the horse, and under it he won
his laurels. Little Minch’s car was at-
tached to the front end of a passenger
train, and the bell’rope passed through
it, the same as it would through a pas-
senger can. The horse was playful, and
after several unsuccessful attempts to
seize the rope in his teeth the spiteful
little youngster finally got the cord and
gave it a lusty jeik. The bell in the en-
gine cab sounded, and the engineer, fear-
ing something was w1ong back in the
train, made haste to shut oflr‘ steam and
apply his airbrake. After coming to a
stop he waited for [the astonished train—
men to come up to his cab. 'l‘hey de-
nied that any one had pulled the cord,
and the engineer passed the occurrence
with the remark, “Maybe the rope
caught and tightened while we were
going mound a curve.
But the mischief loving Little Minch
was having a lot of fun in the car. No
sooner had the train got under headway
again than be again seized the bellcord
and gave it another jerk. Once more
the engineer came to a stop, declaring
that the bell ringing was the work of
tramps, but a search for the ride steal—
ers failed to reveal any, and the train
proceeded. With almost human rogu-
esy Little Minch again seized the
rope, but he was not content with one
jerk, and the way he pulled that rope
was a caution. The enraged engineer
slipped back in time to see the horse
tugging at the rope, which he had hit--
ten in two by his efforts, as if his life
depended upon his ability to tear it out
of'the train. “Oh, you little minchl So
it was you, was it?” cried the engineer.
And the horse stopped and hung his
head much as a guilty boy would have
done. The story was retold many times,
and the animal was named Little
Minch—Chicago Tribune.
A Woodchopper’s Vision.
A chopper in the Kilkenny, woods re-
lates a story that he implicitly believes.
This is hisnarrative: “I was at work
for Van Dyke, at Connecticut Lake.
The night was dark and rainy, and the
wind howled and moaned in the tree
tops. I went to bed, as the whole camp
does, at 9 o ’clock-that is, the lights
are blown out at that hour, ,, as is zathe'
rule in camp. Directly opposite my
bunk was a small window that one
could see out. I could not sleep and
kept rolling and tumbling. ,
“I think I must have got into asleep,
for I was awakened by a light shining
into the'window, and a woman’s face
appeared as if looking in. I am sure
it was the countenance of my sister, who
died in Quebec two years ago. Strange
to say, I Was not scared. The light dis-
appeared, and then again it shone in.
This time the woman’s hand appeared
at the window, beckoning me to come.
I got up and pulled on my trousers and
went to the door. By this time the wind
had stopped blowing, the rain had ceas-
ed, and the moon shone through the
clouds at times.
“Standing near the woodpile was my
sister. I recognized her now. I stepped
toWard her, but she motioned me back,
saying, Joe, don’t worktomorrow,’ and
vanished. I saw no more of her that
night. .T-he next dayI'staid in. camp,
and helium noon Bill was brought in
dead. A limb had fallen ahd. broken his
skull. He and ’1 Worked together. My.
sister has- come to save life since since.

THE NOVEL OCCUPATION FCLLOWED
BY A NEW YORK MAN..
‘ Audience Sometimes Critical.

while they are at work. In no other' in-
dustry is this thing done, thu‘gh it
would Seem that other workers "by the
piece” could imitate the Cubans to ad-
vantage. Not only do they keep in touch
with all the news, but it keeps them
from talking, and there isn’t a minute
of their time wasted.
The Cubans are great talkers, and
this is what probably started the cus-
tom in the cigar factories of _ Havana.
country to make their cigars in Key
West and the lower part of New York
city, they wanted a reader more than
evei. They are very bright, intelligent
fellows, these Cubans,"and they take a
deep interest' in the news of the world
as well ashhe latest intelligence from
their own. little island. They all sub-
scribe toa fund to pay their reader, and
they work all the harder for keeping
their mouths closed and their , minds
employed as they roll the tobacco.
Julian Barreda is probably the most
good living by amusing and instructing
the cigar makers. He is a native of
Porto Rico, where he learned the Eng-
lish language as well as a great many
other things. He has had a college ed-
ucation and can translate the English
and Greek as easily as in Spanish.
He 18 employed just now in two fac-
tories, that of Lozano, Pendas '& 00.,
at 209 Pearl street, and another one
at William and Platt streets. When
Barreda. first came to this country,
he could not speak the language very
well, though he knew it theoretically
and could read and write it. He is a
skilled'electrician, but could get noth-
ing to do” in his line and so went to ad-
dressing envelopes at $3. 50 a week.
There was a vacancy in one of the Cu-
ban cigar factories after awhile, and by
that time Barieda had mastered the
speech of this country.
He walked into the factory one day,
and mounting the table which served as
a rostrum for the reader he made a lit-
tle speech to the men, the purport of
which was that he thought he would
make a good reader for them.
They told him to go ahead and show
what he could do. Ho pulled a paper
out of his pocket and began reading a
tariff editorial to them. They demand-
ed more when he had finished the edi—
torial, and he read to them for’an hour,
translating the cable news, the sensa-
.tions of the dayand the Washington
diSpatches into their native Spanish.
The trial was satisfactory, and he was
engaged. at once for four hours a day.
There were 80 Cubans in the factory at
that time, and each agreed to give him
25 cents a week. Then Barreda made
an arrangement on the same terms with
another factory, which employed 40
men, and he was in receipt of a good in-
come at once..
He reads for 1% hours at each factory
_irLthe morning and for 2% hours in the
afternoon. He has his evenings to him-
self, but he occupies a couple of hours
then in reading the afternoon papers to
familiarize himself. with the late news,
and so his day is a busy one.
“It is not so easy a task as one might
suppose, ” said Barreda to a reporter.
“The men are very critical, and if the
matter is dull or uninteresting they do
not hesitate to shout out and demand a
change. They are especially interested
in the foreign news. Then they want
the general news and anything sensa-
tional in the city news. They like recan-
do]. A divorce case or anything on that
order just suits them. As fast as the
Cuban papers arrive by mail I get them
and read them, and the Spanish papers
published in the city contain a great
deal that the men want to hear.
“In the afternoon I read to them out
of some book. Just now I am'reading
‘Gil Blas’ in one shop and a Spanish
novel called ‘The Two Sisters’ in the
other. When I have finished a novel, I
select half a dozen others that I think
will suit them and read them a list of
titles. Then they vote on which one I
shall begin.” '
“Are they good listeners?’
“The best in the world. They are
working all the time, and they are anx-
ious not to miss a word. They work
faster when some one is reading, and
they realize that if they ever get to talk-
ing together their bill at the end of the
week will be just so much less. They
are nearly all ievolutioniSts, you know,
and there is great chance for argument
among them, because they all belong to
different factions.
. “I have to be very careful in reading
the Cuban papers and those published
in Spanish in this city that I do not
miss an editorial representing some par-
ticular shade of opinion. N o matter how
radical it is, it is sure to have some ad-
herent and some sympathizer in the
shop.”
Barreda has learned to be a very dis-
criminating newspaper reader. He
knows when to skip the dry part of an
article, and he knows just what news-
paper is the one to begin on in the morn-
ing.
