The house which he occupies, and which is the best he could find, is upon ground slightly elevated, but in the midst of novels and filth. This house he has been obi sed to purchase out of his own funds. The buildings are of wood resting upon stone foundations, underneath which are fues for heating in the Corean fashion. The roof is made of tiles and the walls and windows of paper. The extremes of heat and cold are said to be very great and the only fuel to be obtained is the boughs of pine trees. In the way of food beef, rice, eggs, chicken and few inferior fruits and vegetables can be secured. All else must be brought from abroad.

 NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-The Western Union officials said, this morning, that thirty five circuits in this city were interfered with last night; by throwing fine wires over the regu lar wires. At Il o'clock it was said that all the circuits were in working order though the keys worked heavily on account of the damp weather. Superintendent Humstone said he had taken back seven of the striking operators this forenoon. They were taken back at the same salaries they formerly re- ceiVed. Shortly after noon three more op- orators of the brotherhood applied for work at the Western Union office and were taken back at the old rates. This makes ten in all. The officials state that reports from other cities show that the strikers were return: ing to work all over the country. The brotherhood denied the reports and say that they are as determined as ever to hold out as long as their finances lasted. There are at present 83 of the Vest ern Union branch offices at New York closed, and about 40 more operators are required at the Western Union buildings. The com pany's officials say that about 125 operators are required of New York 60 put it in first class condition. They also say that there are not so many telegraphers still employed as the brotherhood reports and ex- press their conviction that the strik- CTS will surrender before long
 Master Workman Campbell this evening denied the report of the Western Union off cials as to the large number of defections
 'Three of the men whom the Western Union officials say came back have conversed with me within an hour" said he. 'I consider that we are as strong asever and as tenacious. If the strike should prove . failure know that many of the operators will not go back to the Western Union. They will en- gage in other business" John Mitchell said Nackay's new Postal Telegraph company will give employment to 150 operators who are pledged to remain true to the brotherhood. The Western Union company were in need of at least twenty five more frst-class operators when the strike took place and If they can get along with what few of the inferior ones go back the loss of this 150 will cripple them When the new Postal company is built it will secure the best of these opera tors and by that means will eventually ruin the Western Union as MT. Macksy will have as much available wealth to back it as Jay Gould has.

 CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-There are mutterings of war in the camp of the striking telegraph ers The failure of the committee of the New York brethren to make terms with Gen. eral Eckert has caused them to throw of their lethargy and prepare themselves for the next grand coup which is to make Jay Gould tremble in his boots and the Western Union officials wish they had come to terms long ago. If the words of the strikers come true the attempted calling out of the railroad ope- rators will be mere crack of toy pistol to the grand bombardment which is soon to commence Master Workman Morris said to- day: ''We are more determined than ever and the fight has just commenced. We have the sentiment of the public to back us and plenty of help to carry on the war, and now it has resolved itself into battle between capital and organized labor.

MILE RHEA.
CITIZEN.

OF this celebrated Belgian actress, who
is announced to appear at Harpers
theatre on Friday evening, the Pittsburg
Leader has the following to say;
Those who witnessed the performance
of Much Ado About Nothing" last
night, enjoyed rare dramatic treat. The
character of Beatrice" in this sparkling,
bubbling comedy of Shakespeare is from
its captiousness and changeful moods
very difficult of portrayal, and although
the rendition of it can be easily marred
by the slightest misconception or the
least OVERRIDING, when in the hands of
such talented actress such as Mile Rhea
has proven herself TO be, it is a stage
picture in which all the brightness of the
histrionic colorings is so artistically blent
that it is ever TO be remembered with
delight. That there were some imper-
| fections in Mile Rhea's rendition of the
role must be admitted, but what of these
were, were due to her French accent.
But of her acting in itself little can be
said except in praise. She has wonder
full power of facial expression and
her silent depletion of the varying
emotions. and notably in the scene in
which Benedict declares his love, and
in which she is transported from doubt to
smiling JOY, was the gradual passing of
f1eecy clouds on summers day, the shad-
ow growing lighter and less distinct until
at last the bright suns rays burst forth in
all their genial warmth. Mile Rhea should
devote all possible time attention to the

SUICIDE IN MOLINE.

The wife of Henry Taustian on awak.
ing this morning discovered her husband
absent, and on going into the granery in
the rear of the house found him suspended
by rope and dead. His body was cold,

several hours before Taustian has been
considered out of mental balance for
some time, and no cause is known for his
committing suicide other than he was
deranged. An inquest was held on the
body this morning, and verdict rem
dered in accordance with the facts. The
deceased was 55 years of age.

He was young man with $40 suit of

to take his girl and her mother down to
Putin Bay. He left them on the boat
while he ran up town to get some cigars,
and scarcrly had he disappeared when a
man with Ratchet face and red goatee
approached the ladies AMI inquired of the
mother:

"Ah! exactly If you want him for a

SIR
I'm telling You honest. madam. Your
daughter will be seasick first. She will
call for lemon and some wine, and
some pickles aud she will sigh and groan,
and her hair will come down, and bows
skew around, and in half an hour you
wont know her She'll be faded flow

Madam, George will have plenty of
business on hand, Chaps with his set of

Before he can get lemon for Melvina
and pickle for you he'll flop down and
call himself names and wonder how he
was ever struck on Melvina or why he
ever wanted you for a mother in law
He'll heave up and he'll heave down,
and he'll wish you and Melvina in Halifax
