the Mason mob had disappeared. One
man named Heller, said something
and was hustled off to Jail.
Malodel Peeler, sympathizing with
the strikers, was also arrested by
orders of Sergeant Murphy.
A great crowd of people of all des.
criptions had congregated from all
quarters, and loud denunciation of the
strikers and the inetficiency of police
protection was heard on every side.
A regular riot had been in progress for
over an hour, several passengers had
been abused and assaulted, n mar
chased through the second principal
street and terribly beaten. Mason and
his men had publicly defied the citi-
zens and declared that the mayor of
the city was on their side and would
not order the police to arrest them,
and that the police dared not interfere
with them.
BY 4 o'clock the superintendent of
the line and his assistants had gotten
some mules and their stable hands,
who came from the station on a hand
car, and began moving the cars up to
the stable. The crowd still hung
around until driven away by the on
coming rain.
Mason, it appears, after leaving the
scene of the disturbance created by
himself and followers at Lee Place,
next to Canal street, where he became
involved in another difficulty was ar
rested by Officers Ludy and Atwood
and taken to the Third precinct sta
ton, charged with disturbing the
peace.
James l. Day, president of the Sun
Mutual Insurance company, who re-
sides at Annunciation street, and who,
by the way, is a prominent man in
New Orleans, while coming to his Of
flee, saw an alteration on a car, when
he opened the front door and assisted
the driver by striking the striker with
his umbrella. The melee was an in
teresting one, but the striker was
driven back, and the president and his
car went on.
The city authorities and the people
are called upon to stand by the car
companies against the mob, and if
matters continue this way another day,
the Car Drivers association had as
we'll pack up and leave. In the be-
ginning the people were with the
strikers, and had they acted different
ly with strangers. it might have CON
tinued so still, but they have grown
independent, and insolent to men, wo-
men and children, and are becoming
a bowling mob, and of curse that
settles their fate, if they keep it up.
The men ask to have their wage in
creased from $50 and $50 to $50 per
month, and to work only fifteen hours
per day, and that zone but union men
be employed. These things the car
companies could reasonably have
granted, but when the strikers COM
menced to assume the form OFFS mob
the companies said that they would
not yield, and now rs a fact, the city
and the people give their support.
The city and the exposition must
suffer greatly from this strike, but it
is hoped that this will be the last one
for tho winter. This is the second
strike these men have heen engaged
in during the last sixty days. We
have never seen a city that depended
so much on street cars as does New
Orleans, or that can so lily do without
them. Aud for the sake of the expo
sition the strike should end in two
hours, one way, or the other. SAM.

William II. Vanderbilt denies the
statement that he carries life insurance
to tho amount of 1920, 900, and says
that he has had any insurance on

is absolutely no truth in the statement
shat he carries $500, 900 of insurance
upon his life" Some of the life insur-
ance advertisements will now have to
be revised.
The death of Bishop jackson, Of
London, is believed to have been hast
ened by an incident that occurred dur
ing the preaching of his last sermon in
ST. Paul's on the evening of January 4.
A luuatic in the congregation interrupt
ed the discourse by springing to his feet
and screaming out: "You worship idols
while you scorn to save souls! Woe
unto you" This caused an agitation
which the Bishop, her in bad health,
never recovered from.

He was then offered a small bounty for

of ability to take care of himself, and
was released from the asylum.

Street-Car Ethics.

Temptations to natural cupidity are
never wanting, but the street-car fur
nishes a most practical illustration in
the matter of half-fares to children.
The teaching which children receive
from many parents, who would be
shocked if not considered highly moral,
if it does not develop into tirst-class
%rascality, must be neutralized by God,
stretching out His hand to save the
helpless, OF fail of any effect because
they are too i]nattentive or stupid to
heed the parental teaching and exam
pie. To those compelled to observe it
there can be no surprise at the respect
able family and church character of
many of our heightened scandals. The
bent given to plastic childhood will
not be Strengthened out in manhood
by any fear Of the penitentiary.
We have, with pain, witnessed an
humble scene, both for mother and
child, in their combined efforts to cheat
the conductor. Nor has this surprise
been lessened in knowing that many
reputable-looking mothers actually set
cupidity to the work of helping the
natural bent of childhood to falsehood
for the reward of a half-fale. When
the conductor comes round and re-
ceives from the mother a fare and a
half he says, Where is your child?n
Here he u.s." is replied. He looks
amazed, as does everybody else, to
learn that the half-grown youngster is
under five years. He asks the infant,
chow old are you9n to which it re-
plies -Four years. looking out for the
future that.still they may keep a margin
to travel on. The mother is not dis
concerted at the s%kepticism of the con-
ductor, nor is her youngster we'll
trained in the ethics that there can be
no harm in cheating a corporation.
We have seen in one of our exchanges,
a like experience, which runs as fol-
lows, and shows that our judgement
is not exceptional:
81 know a young boy who is beng
simply ruined in his education by his
mother. He is eight years old. with
all the noble instincts of probity and
obedience which generally character
izea boys nature. This tender parent.
has instructed him that whenever he
gets on a car the appearance of the
conductor to collect money for his fare
reduces his age under five. He has.
been educated to give that figure when
asked by anybody who wants to col
lect money for his transportation.
Last week a friend of the family was
displaying his interest in the child by
inquiring his age. The little fellow
hesitated for a moment and then look
ed up at hi mother: mamma is he a
conductor?:' No, child Then 1 am
eight years old"
But a stranger fact, if possible, is
how soon a metamorphosis into man
hood or womanhood takes place when
a seat is to be occupied. That baby,
which for half-fare ought to stand by
his mothers knee, or sit on her lap,
spreads itself over a whole seat.
Weary men and aged women may
stand. A woman who will teach her
child to do this for a half
fare will be just selfish enough to let
them stand. Fraud is always cruel

The Insidious Punch of Washing.

Washington correspondence New York World
There has been a great increase in
the direction of society drinking in the
last five years. There is hardly q re-
ception, afternoon or evening, where
the punch-bowl is not found. Places
where there r no punch-bowls are
voted slow. The punch that is made
is nc child's drink, either. This is the
recipe for the standard Washington
punch One part Of SOU lemonade, one
part Of %claret, one-half part of rum,
one-half part of the best whiskey.
This %concoction is her carefully
sweetened and given additional flavor
by strong dasl.es of various liquors.
Sometimes champaign is substituted fol
the claret. The average glassin which
this punch is served will hold as much
as q teacup. This punch is iced to
perfect GOODNESS and in some places
is served from a huge block Of ice,
which is cut in tho shape Of a bowl.
This punch is drank at receptions in
Discriminatory by young and old with
out regard to sex. Warmed up by the
exercise CT the dance the young people
rush to the punch bowlt to satisfy the,
Thirst. I have seen young ladies Gfi L
from two to three glasses of this punch.
How many people are there whose
general habits are temperate who can
safely drink two or three teacupfuls of
rum and whisky and claret?

make calls upon lady friends who
had discarded the custom of pre-.

Prayer for Temperance.

1t was proposed in the onion S;o
nal, few weeks ago, that tbero
should be concert of individual
prayer for the Temperance cause
held all over the world at the noon
hour of each day, and also that
Thursday afternoons should be fixed
as the time for the weekly Tenn.
perance prayer meetings of all our
Unions everywh here, and of such
other Christian communities as
may like to join US.
| want to call attention again To
this proposition, and to urge it's
adoption. So many confirming
words have come to US in regard to
it, that it seems more and more as
if it were the Lords will, and as
though it would surely bring down
some great and hitherto unknown
blessing upon the cause we love 50
we'll.
| would urge our State and local
evangelistic superintendent to
press this matter with all their
might. And | would beg our wo.
men not to wait for the Superin.
tendents, but to begin at once as
individuals to carry it out for
themselves.
No human tongue can tell what
mighty results would follow from
such a universal concert of prayer
all over the Christian world. 1t is
not that prayer conquers Gods I'M
willingness, but it lays hold of His
willingness, and makes a channel
through " hich His power can reach
men. And through the thousands
of channels thus opened between
His willingness and our need, who
can measure the vast volume Of
power that would descend upon
this needy cause of Temperance,
Let each woman begin at once to
make one in this great sisterhood
of prayer.
