PIrrsBURGH's GREAT STRIKE
Tho Men RefusIng TO ArbItrRte-Fsw Hopes
of a Compromise.

PITTsBURGH, June 3.-The outlook here
tonight for a speedy settlement Of the great
strike OF the iron workers is very gloomy as
the action OF the workmen to-day has cut off all
apparent hope OF a friendly settlement A con-
ference was had yesterday afternoon between a
committee OF manufacturers and n committee
from the AmagRmated Association OF Iron and
Steel Workers. The conference lasted for over
five hours. and was brought to close by the
manufacturers suggesting that the whole sub
ject should be settled by arbitration, The com
mite OF the associ iatOn said they did not havehe
power TO accept this proposal, but would lay II
before a district meeting OF the association to-
day At o'clock this afternoon the meeting OF
the association began. and II lasted until late
this evening. The men were inclined TO be very
reticent in regard 10 their action. but tho result
OF the meeting soon leaked out. After consid-
cradle discussion the meeting, which was a
large one utterly refused 10 have anything 10
do with arbitration in any shape, and then 1t
discharged the committee which had had the
conference with tho manufacturers. This cuts
on tho last chance OF an amicable settlement
for the present. Both manufacturers and pud.
dlers say that tho other side will soon yield, and
II Is hard TO tell what the result will DO. The
United States Tin PlaIe and Iron Company and
tho Keystone Tube Company signed the 80
scale to-day. None Of the outside mills which
do an exclusive Iron business has yielded ex-
copt one or two which have mon at work below
the rate, at Niles Ohio and In one tin plate mill

WASHINGTON, June 3-Mr. S s. Cox Of New
York. speaking In the House to-day in favor Of
the bill TO repeal the Jurors Test Oath law. de-
MED that the matters which concerned the pres
ent session Of Congress were in any way revo-

certain old statutes which were more or less tho
result OF revolution. 1t would not be revolu-
ton; it would bc only change 10 have a fair

the law which permitted the gentleman from

Nothing could be more absurd than that gentle

loyal were compelled to take a long bad one.

he mean-the God OF Vengeance or the God of
Mercy? The best political principles were
drawn from the Sermon on the Mount. The
doctrine Of that sermon was good for social life
and for individual guidance. II was good TO

Novel Bird.catching.

A novel class of thieves have made
their appearance in Central Park, New
York. One night not long ago, while
Patrolman Morgan was on duty near the
Ninety-seventh street road, he discov-
cred men lettering on the edge OF the
thoroughfare. each carrying a bag.
When the officer approached them they
ran away. He pursued, and was about
capturing one of them when ne was
brought to a standstill by something
sharp catching in his left ear. Blood
dripped from slight cut, but he saw
nothing by which he could account TOR
the occurrence, and again started in pur-
suit, when he was again compelled to
stop under the same circumstances as
before.
This time slight cash was in his fore
head. The mysterious persons had by
this time made good their escape, and
Morgan turned his attention to his in
iuries. BY mere accident, he discovered
a clothesline stretched across the road
between two pine trees, about five feet
from the ground He cut it down, and
brought it to the police station in the
Arsenal building, where it was found
that pieces of hair wire about four inches
in length, to which were attached very
small fishhooks, were fastened TO the
line at intervals of every six inches:
The hooks were baited with pieces OF
fish and oyster meats. Sergeant Gale,
who was in command, explained the
mystery by saying that the persons were
undoubtedly fishing for birds. Orders
were given to the police to keep sharp
lookout for such thieves in future.

COrns,

Corns may be developed on any part
of the body where pressure and friction
exist to an inordinate degree; thus they
may be occasioned by too tight or too
loose a shoe; in the one case being due
to pressure, in the other to friction; and
they are most actively produced when
both causes are combined. They are
met with most frequently on the feet, on
account of an unpliant nature of the
covering of those organs; between the
toes from pressure only; and on other
parts of the body from distortion. Corns
are of four kinds. viz: clavus (bunion),
calius, soft and the common corn. The
callus may be softened by moisture, rs
by soaking in warm water; by the ap-
pfication Of starch or soap poultice; /;
and being softened, the thickened cuti-
Gle may be thinned by scraping with a
blunt knife. When the thickening has
been reduced sufficiently, it may be kept
down by daily washing with soap.
Clayus and the soft corn require removal
with the knife; and in effecting this
purpose their mode OF formation is to be
borne in mind. If the soft corn be of
moderate size, single pinch with pair
OF pointed SClSSOIS Will cueCI lLo lCLloSal,
while the hard callus will require a
patient digging with the point Of a not
too sharp knife. After the operation,
the corn should be covered with apiece
of soap plaster for day or two, and n
perforated plaster of buff leather subse-
gently worn to keep off pressure from
the center of the growth. The removal
of a callus or soft corn may be very con.
siderably aided by the use of the COM
pound tincturo of iodine painted on the
swelling. When the corn is painful, this
application subdues its sensibility and
renders the cuticle dry and friabie, and
easy of removal by means of a file. Soap
and water, 80 useful to the skin in many
ways, are especially serviceable to feet
afflicted with corns and particularly
when they are soft corns. Daily wash
ing with soap and the subsequent inter
position of piece of cotton wool be-
tween the toes. may be considered as a
cure for soft corns; and in these cases
the skin may be hardened by sponging
with spirits of camphor after the wash
ing. The cotton wool should be re-
moved at night. and this is tt good time
| for the use Of the camphorated spirit

Tobacco Slaves.

A writer in the Gentlenaan's Magazine
relates the following instances to show
what hold the habit of smoking may
have upon persons: A city man that
I know gets haitian hour for his luncheon
or dinner in the middle of the day; but
he manages to eat a few biscuits during
Office hours, and spends his half hour
walking up and down one OF the quays
smoking. This man walks to the city
every morning from his home. the dis
tance being three miles; he also walks
home every evening; and he smokes in
cessantly during the walks each way.
He dimes at six o'clock. and then smokes
without ceasing until bedtime. On
Sunday he smokes all day, except dur
ine meals; he will never attend place
of worship, because it would curtail his
smoking. He will never 60 into society
with Ills wife, and. indeed, will not
readily talk to her at home, as it dis
turbs his smoking. In all other respects
this man is q good husband and father.
Another acquaintance of mine, who is
a hicnly-intellectua and deeply-read
man. will tolerate nothing that may
postpone his smoke. At dinner he is in
a perpetual drive to get done, 30 as to
begin his pipe; he wants no pudding,
cheese or desert; taking these would in
yolye loss of time, and put off the smok-
| ing period few minuteslonger. He like
wise requires no tea or supper, protest
| ing he is mot hungry. and that he does
not wish to be. disturbed in his smoke.
Another man that I know is In . gov
ernment Office, and when the usual pub.
lie holidays occur, such as the queens
birthday, his treat is to lie in bed all day
and smoke. The gentleman is married,
and always smokes bis last pipe in bed

HReyenge Is Sweet"

A strange and terrible revenge was
recently taken by discarded lover IN
Indiana. He was about thirty, years OF
age, and had been industriously court
ing girl of sixteen, but when ne came
to pop the question he was contemptu-
ously rejected. the girl saying that he
was old enough to be her father. y Eon
that hint he acted, for the girls mother
was buxom widow Of only thirty-five,
and he speedily transferred his court to
her. Their marriage soon followed, and
now the younger lady finds that her ex-
lover is her stepfather. She thought it
was funny until the couple returned
from their wedding tour. and then the
newly-made stepfather said to her: MY
daughter, you were too fond OF beaux.
Nice young men, ice-cream and buggy
rides are not proper luxuries for a little
girl like YOU. I am old enough to be
your father, and, what's moro, l am.
Go upstairs, take off that there SILK
dress, get ready for school. and don't let
me hear beaux or buggy, ice-cream or
nice young man from you for Mt least
three years" And now that young LADY
is retired in calico and study: .vainly re-
penting her rashness, and finding out ny
dire experience that lover seorned can
be ones worst enemy. especially when
he becom 9 4 stepfather t..S
