A CATHOLIC COUNCIL.
An Impending Event of Great Importance
to American Catholics.

New York. May 31.-The Sun has the fol-
lowing:
There is reason to believe that an event of
great importance to American Catholics is
impending. 1t is, we learn, the intention of
the Vatican to convoke at a day not distant a
plenary council for the United States The
great ecclesiastical assembly will probably be
held in the city of New York, although the
place of meeting has not been irrevocably
fixed. The scope and purpose of the council
will not, OF course, be definitely settled until
the views of the American hierarchy have
been ELECTED, and to that end several infuen-
tial members of the episcopate will, it is
said, be speedily invited 10. Rome. 1t is ex-
pected, however, that whereas Archbishop
Spalding OBLIGATED as apostolic delegate at
the council of Baltimore in 1866, Leo XIII
will be represented on the coming occasion
by Roman canonist of extensive erudition
and experience selected from among the
most distinguished prelates of the curia
Attended, as he will be, doubtless, by dlviues
of unouestioned competence and ripe learn
ing. the papal delegate should be able to en-
tighten and invigorate the labors OF the coun-
Gill; so as to permanently allay the troubles
growing out of infractions of church disci-
pline and of canonical morality

She would say nothing against her hus-

Walter Davis by bad advisers.
During the conversation Mrs. Davis sat
with her face buried in her hands, but would
occasionally make some remark or offer a
word in defense of her departed husband.
The newspaper man at last took his depart
ure, and the ladies were left to carry on the
omnipresent topic of conversation among
them.
The fair sex in Harrodsburg, almost with
out exception, side with Mrs. Thompson, and
not one of them can ever be convinced that
she was guilty of adultery with Walter

WHEELING, w. Va, May 31.-It is now
definitely decided that there will be no lock
out in the iron mills here. N. E. Whitaker

signed the scale to-day, and his mill will con-
tinue to work without stoppage. The news
of the signing of the scale at Pitrsburg was
received here tonight with undisguised salts

the workingmen. This settled the matter
here President Laughliu, OF the Junction
Iron Works, at once gave orders for his mill
to continue without stoppage. The other
mills will be idle till Monday, but will then
resume. The lucky solution OF difficulties at
the eleventh hour causes general joy among
all classes of the community.

CLEVELAND, May S1.-The Union Rolling

signed the scale; the S. o. Britton Iron and

Amalgamated Iron and Steel Workers, and

refuse to consider any proposition, stating
that by the contract made in October. 1881,
and reaflirmed in July, 1882, the subject of
wages was fixed and was to be the same as
that fixed at Pittsburg. The contract also
contained provision in case no price was
agreedion at Pittsburg. The puddlers here
have not united to support the other work
men. meeting of finishers is called for to-
morrow, from which puddlers will be ex-
cluded, when, it is said, action will be taken
to compel the puddlerS to recede from their
position. One of the mill owners announces
tonight that he will only shut down one dav
to allow the men to attend this meeting and
then will supply the places of the puddlers
and go on. The agreement at Pittsburg
makes the demand of the Cincinnati work
men more hopeless.

mills in Cincinnati, Covington and Newport

AN IRON STRIKE AVERTED
The Manufacturers Sign the Scale of
Last Year.
Great Rejoicing and Satisfaction Throughout
the Pittsburg District-ClOsins of Chi
cagO and Cincinnati Mills.
A STRIKE AVERTED.
The Pittsburg Iron Manufacturers Sign Last
Years Scale.

Years Scale.
PITTsBURG, May 31.-The conference OF
the Iron Manufacturers and n,algamated
Association committees, this afternoon, re-
suited in the manufacturers signing last
years scale, $3.50 per ton for pudding This
action, happily, averts the strike and insures
the running of all the mills in the West for
at least one year longer. The manufacturers,
who have all along persisted that they would
not pay more than IS, and who were sup
posed to have solid front, give as reason
for the unexpected action, that they had
positive information that number OF West
ern mills had made arrangements to con-
tinue at the old scale, with the con-
dition that if the manufacturers here
were successful, the workmen would accept
the same wages, and rather than submit to
seeing their trade going to other places, de-
cided to pay the wages demanded by the
Amalgamated Association.
President Jarrett, of the latter, says the
scale was signed Internationally, and char
acterizes it as "a victory without battle"
Intense satisfaction is expressed on all sides
over the settlement, as strike was regard ed
as inevitable, and to Pittsburg an indefinite
shutting down of the iron mills means not
only serious loss to those engaged IN that
particular industry, but to every other in
dustry and business as we'll.

vicinity employ union men-the Needring-

The Situation at Chicago.

CHICAGO, May 31.-From an interview with
the managers of the leading iron mills in and
about this city, It appears inevitable that all
will close down tomorrow, owing to the fail
ure of the mill-owners to accede to the Pitts
burg scale. The controversy will not in any
way affect the steel rail mills, which will con-
tinue their operations The managers CT the
mills join in asserting that the advantage
rests with them, as the market is inactive
and prices only moderate, while the employees

OTHER STRIKES.


ST.. LOUIS May 31.-The conference of
miners and operators and the committee OF
the Board OF Trade met at Belleville this
morning. The miners agreed to accept all
the conditions of the Board OF Trade propo-
sition, previously telegraphed, except that
which contemplates non-interference with
machine mines. One of their committee said
they had concluded to accept no conditions
that did not put the hand-mines on an equal
footing with the machine-mines The other
propositions made by the Board of Trade
were accepted by both miners and operators.
Another conference will be held on Monday.
1t is believed the differences will then be
finally amicabiy adjusted.

CHICAGO, May 31.-President Prussing, of
the Master Masons Association, stoutly de-
mics the imputation made by the members
of the Brlcklayers' Union that he had tam
pered with the agreement signed by the com
mittee of arbitration, and which it was sup
posed would end the strike. He asserts that
the bricklayers are in rage simply because
they have been defeated in everything they
set out to accomplish. The end of the strike
cannot now be foreseen.

Home Life Of G erman Girls.

Their life is far different from that of
American girls, and we could hardly
fancy anything more prosy than the
home life of the high and well born Ger
man girl. They are educated precisely
alike, the range of study being limited
The common branches, French, some
times English, and few small orna-
mental accomplishments. comprise the
list. The statement that American
girls study the sciences and sometimes
Greek and Latin causes from them mani
festations of surprise. The traditions
and prejudices of their class are care
fully inculcated. Any woman who does
not think or act in opposition to the cor
ventional standard is looked upon with
distrust. But their domestic education
Is carefully attended to; whatever their
rank they must master ali branches and
steps of housekeeping. Their wedding
trousseau and outfit in bed and table
linen is generous in quantity and beau
tiful in texture, and usually made up by
their own willing hands. An engage
ment with them is as solemn and bind
ing as marriage contract, and unfaith-
fulness in either sex is an exception that
meets hearty condemnation. Their
simpleness and quietness of life is re-
proach to the lives of most of the idle,
case-loving girls ofmany other countries.

The Way TO Cook Oysters.

The oyster is eaten in q variety of
styles. He will be eaten to-day fried,
broiled, stewed, steamed, scalloped and
raw. Some people in Chicago eat them
picked. No matter, Chicago is young
yet, and viii learn better after while.
So wealthy and enterprising city can
not remain forever uncivilized. The
best way to eat oysters is in the old
fashioned Maryland stew. Shuck your
oysters, and on pain of death let not
drop of water or milk touch them.
Let them repose for a few moments in
their own liquid, while you cut up a
very small quantity of fat, new bacon,
with shred here and there of lean with
it. About an ounce of bacon to a
quart of oysters. Ham is not the best;
neither is middling; good, new Shout
der is the article. Put the bacon in a
frying-pan and heat rapidly over a
vigorously-burning fire. When the ba-
con is done to crisp pour in the oys-
tiers. Stew for two minutes and half
or three, no longer. Pepper to suit
taste when stewing. If the oysters are
good saltwater bivalves, they need no
salt. Then pour out and eat, thanking
God you live in a land where the art of
cooking oysters properly is not wholly
lost. If you eat oysters cooked in this
style you will never eat them in any
other if you can help it, Washington

ssMind Your Business

An anecdote is told of clockmaker
who, being employed to construct a
new clock for the Temple, London. was
DESTROYS of suitable motto to be placed
under the clock. One day he applied
to the benchers at the Temple for the
motto while they were at dinner, and
one of them, annoyed at the unseason-
able interruption. testify replied, go
about your business" Understanding
this to be the selected motto, the clock
maker inscribed it under the clock,
where it still remains to admonish all to
attend to business. The Continental
cent, usually known as the Franklin
cent because its legend was proposed by
him, gives the same advice in the
words: mind your business This
is frequently misquoted and corrupted
to ssMind your own business" which,
instead of q counsel to diligence, is a
rebuke to meddling. Franklin's advice
was an admonition to perform duty and
to care for the concerns which make
like successful. 1t contains the very
kernel of all business wisdom. A
homely adage is that ut is better tc
drive your business than let your bust
ness drive you;n better to be master
and manager of your own business
than to be its slave and victim. This
is the essence of the Franklin cent
motto, and, whether acknowledged in
so many words or not. it is the actual
ing principle and the underlying cause
of all business management and bust
ness success.
