important case was brought before j Us

short time since the printers employed
in the Republican office here ceased
work, having learned that the puOllsn-
ers were about to employ persons to
do their work under the established
scale of prices adopted by the Printers
Union of this city. AS is customary
with all Printers Unions, circulars
were issued to sister Unions through
out the country, declaring the publish
ers unfair to printers and employees,
and pronouncing the Office an unfair
one. Upon this ground the publishers
have brought suit for libel and cOnspi'
racy against the Typographical Union
of this city. The case was postponed
till next Court of Quarter Sessions. 1t
is a test case, and undoubtedly Involves
the entire National Typographical
Union.

One of the leading hotels in Wash
inpton, D. c., Is stated to have-among
its 'dead heads" of course-a lady
ghost, who is young, beautiful, and
