His Methods Caused His Name to Be Added . to Our Language. ' London, June 22.-——Captain‘ Boycott is He was about 55 years of age, and became famous through being the first man subjected to the ”boycott"1 i Ireland. . Captain Boycott was a ”small squire” at Lough Mask, in the wild Connemara section of County Mayo, in 1880-81. He was 211% land agent or “factor" for several landed proprietors, notably the Earl of Erne. The peasantry could not pay their rents, especially in the barren sections wherein Boycott dwelt. _But the captain deemed it his duty to col- lect rents at all hazards. He soon found himself at loggerheads with the people, and his name became a. synonym for aggressive “rack renting." Several times he was threatened, but threats had no effect upon him. At length, in September, 1880, Mr. Parnell precipitated the crisis by his speech at Ennis, in which he urged the people of Ireland to abstain from agra- rian crimes and adopt instead a. policy of sending landlords, agents and bailiffs "to Coventry.” The idea became popu- lar at once, and the first victim of the Ennis programme was Captain Boycott of County Mayo. His harvest was late that year, and when he tried to engage harvesters he was everyWhéi'e met with refusals Not a man among the labor- ers of his parish or barony dared to work for him. His corn remained ‘standing. But this was not the worst. His servants left him in a body, and his wife and children were obliged to do all their cooking, washing, etc., them- selves. Then the village grocer and butcher declined to sell him provisions, and when he sent to the neighboring towns for supplies he found it absolute— ly impossible to get anything. In the end Captain ‘Boycott was helped out of his difficulties by the “emergency men,” organized to afford relief in such cases; SHOE WORKERS MEET. They Will Discuss the Conduct of Strikes, Hours of Labor, Etc. Boston, June 22.—The second annual convention of the Boot and Shoe Work- ers’ union of North America opened in this city today. It is the largest repre— sentative gathering of the shoe work- ers ever assembled at one time in the history of the trade. Up to 1896 the boot and shoe workers were organized in various branches. There were a number of local and independent unions, and the majority of the boot and shoe workers, with the exception of the lasters, held aloof from the unions and assemblies. Those who Were desirous of seeing the members of this trade thoroughly uni-ted finally submitted a proposition that the three central bodies should unite under one general' head, and at a convention held in this city in June, 1896, the Boot and Shoe Workers’ unto-n was formally or- ganized. The International Boot and Shoe Workers‘ union and Trade ‘As- sembly, No. 216, Knights of Labor, im- mediately joined the new union, and in the course of a few months the Last- ers’ Protective union wound up its af- fairs and united with the other organ- izations. During the past. year nearly 150,local unions have been chartered, and the numerical strength of the pres- ent general union. is greater than was the combined membership of the sev- eral associations. The officers of the new organization are: President, John F. Tobin; vicepresident, William H. Loughlin; secretary, Horace W. Eaton; treasurer, Alvin G. Howcs. A number of important questions will come before the convention. Chief among them will be ways of regulatiing and conducting strikes, regulation of hours of labor and the financial policy of the organization. Postmasters Appointed.

More Evidence as to the Shutting 011‘ of Stubborn Dcalers’ Supplies. ‘ New York, June 23.—Piesidei.. Duke. was again the center of interest at the Cigarette trust trial today. He may have been prompted to come to court by the fact that H. 1. Stock“ ell, oil-.1 of his agents, would be the oyster the (1.5- trict attorney would try to open. Mr. Duke evidently wanted to-see if'his agent exercised the proper amount of resistance to Mr. Olcott’s can opener and if, when opened, his memory was sufficiently blank. Mr. Stockwell had a pretty good mem- ory when first put on the stand yester- day afternoon, but today he showed that his memory is like an oyster inahot weather—it is likely to spoil during the night. When District Attorney Olcott asked him as to the rules of the trust, ‘he hesitated, hemmed, coughed a. little and finally said he did not remember any. He had seen numbers on the boxes of cigarettes sent to jobbers, but did not know what the numbers meant. He did not remember that he had ever re- ceived any instructions from any of the trust officers and was sure he had not received any “direct” instructions from Secretary Browne. As to the indirect instructions, ‘he could pot remember. Then Frederick P. Hier, the Syracuse tobacco jobber, whose dealings in Ad- miral cigarettes were reported by Agent Stockwell, and whose supply of trust cigarettes was shut off, was called to tell of his dealings with Stockwell. “Stockwell came to me and said I must give up all but the trust ciga- rettes. He said if I didn't my supply would be shut off. I said I would get the trust cigarettes .from some other dealer. He said I couldn’t, as all b‘bxes ~were numbered, and they would find out who sold to me and then shut off that man’s supply.” James N. Whalen, a florid faced, bald- headed tobacco dealer 'of Rochester told of his trouble with the trust and ex- hibited the contract he had with it. Lynching Causes 8. Damage Suit. La Plata, Md., Tune 23.—John Grason of Towson, Baltimore county, and Her- bert W. Simpson of Baltimore city, at— torneys for the infant children of the ‘ late Joseph Cocking, who was lynched at Port Tobacco last summer, have dock— eted suit in the circuit court for Charles county, against Sheriff George A. Wade and his bondsmen for $25,000 damages, claimed to have been sus- tained by Cocking’s children by the lynching of their father. The Amherst College Troubles. Amherst, Mass, June 23.—The report in circulation ‘that President Gates of Amherst college had resigned or con- templated resigning, as the' outgrowth of the resignation. of Professor Morse, head of the history department, is giv- en authoritative denial. In the same connection it is stated that it is hoped that Professor Morse’s resignation will not be pressed or accepted. The Confederate Veterans. Nashville, June 23.——In case General Gordon persists in resigning or refusing to be re-elected as commander of» the United Confederate Veterans, General Fitz-Hugh ’Lee will probably succeed him. General Joseph Wheeler of Ala— bama is also spoken' of. The general belief is that General Gordon will be al— most forced to accept again. Strange Howard Benham. Batavia, N. Y., June 23.eH011'ard Cur- tis Benham is on trial for his life.
