The Mackin Case,

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The Daily News's Ottawa,
ILL.,, special says: '"The Supreme Court this
morning overruled the motion for a continuance
in the case Of Joseph Mackin. convicted of
perjury in the election-fraud cases. 1t was
argued that as Mackin was under a sentence in
the United States Court, a decision in advance
of one pending in the United States Supreme
Court would prove a conflict of jurisdiction.
This. and another point regarding Mackins
bondsmen, were overruled. 1t is expected that
Mackin's case on appeal will be heard on next
Wednesday,"

refused, and they struck. The mill has been
idle since. On Wednesday most of the knot
sawyers and ~jointers at the Michigan Single
Company's mill struck on the same issue. This
mill employs ~ffry-fve men, but twenty-one did
the striking. The mill has been closed since
Wednesday. On Thursday morning four single

Lumber Company's mill struck on the
same issue, and their demand was
refused. The whole 7mill, employing ITO men,

morning. but they were in the minority. This
morning three shingle-sawyers in L. L. Arms
Shingle and Lumber Company's Mill refused to
work more than ten hours, and the mill stopped.
The employees number l40 men, running day and
night. The night crew have not yet struck, but
they probably will. The daily wages generally
paid In all these mills are as follows: Sawyers,
-. 49,; knot sawyers, 81 so to 81. 70; iointers, So
10 s.. II; common laborers, 81. so; packers, seven
cents a thousand, at which they make from So

turbance of any kind. The Arms Company
think they will shut down the night crew, and
and thus be able to run a full day crew.

monds are rated. and also a term for expressing the
purity and 6neness of gold. The alloy is supposed to
be divided into twenty-four parts, called carats, and

Tanning Wild Beasts.

A planter in Louisiana few years ago
made a pet of a tiger cub, which played
about the house like tame cat, until it
was of nearly full size. His theory was
that by feeding it on milk, its cruel ma
ture could be softencd and changed. One
day, however, the creature sprang on
and killed a sheep, with as much ferocity
as if it had been reared by its mother in
the jungles of Ceylon. 1t would have

These freaks will seem to all of our

one sane man or woman in ten thousand
would make a pet of a lion or a rattle
snake. Yet many young men and wom-
en- secretly nourish, not in their houses
but in their bosoms, some vicious habit,
