100 Doses one Dollar The First Painted Oil Barrels.

During long voyage or a long journey by rail sometimes hall barrel of oil would leak through the pores of the wood and evaporate. So some sharp fellow began to study some way of preventing such loss. He first painted the barrel blue on the outside and then filled it with water and allowed it to stand until it had soaked up all it would. Then the oil was put in. The water kept the oil from soaking in the wood, and the paint on the outside kept the water from coming out He got a patent on his discovery, and now he sits in his office and draws his royalty of one cent on every barrel made to hold kero- sene oil for shipment.

WOMEN CONNECTS ON STRIKE.
Punished Because They WOuI Not Take
 the Places Of Other strikers.

There was revolt last week in the Kings county, New York, penitentiary among the fe- male prisoners. Those who engaged in it were put in dark cells and placed on scant diet. They are now undergoing punishment, and will be kept on scant fare and locked in the dark cells until Wednesday morning, when the ten days of their punishment Shoe Company controls the labor of the convicts. The amount of work however, re- quires the help of outsiders, and among the number who are thus employed are many wo- men. Last Monday ten women employed on rough work were notified that there would be Q reduction in their wages. They objected, and obtaining no satisfaction, they left the shop.
 The Superintendent then called in some fe- male convicts who were at other work in the penitentiary to take the places at the machines which the ten girls had vacated. They did so but when it was made known to them that the operators had quit work on account of @ re- duction of wages they arose from their seats and refused to work.
 The Superintendent notified the Warden. who ordered the girls from the shop and marched ten others in to take their places. These prisoners took their places at the seats. but remained standing when they were ordered to sit down and work. The matrons talked to them and stroye to encourage them to do the bidding of the Superintendent. They re- fused, and finally they were marched from the place, and then, with the others who had pre- ceded them, were ordered to close confinement for ten days, and to receive the diet which prisoners in close confinement receive. At different times since being locked up they have been visited and asked to give up their deter imitation not to work, but they have stead. fastly refused, faying that they will not do harm to the strikers.
 Warden Green and the matrons speak of the prisoners who are being punished with some respect as well as kindness. One of the pris- oners said:
 "POor wages has made me 8 convict, and there are few despised ones among my rex, here or elsewhere, who cannot point to that as the cause which has made them what they are"

ENTRY INTO DUBLIN,
EnIhusIastie Reception of the Prince of
 Wales in Ireland.

The royal party arrived in Dublin at D. m A grand stand had been erected st the rail way station, and when the train arrived an immense crowd had assembled. When the Prince and Princess alighted their appear ance was greeted with tremendous cheer, ing. They were escorted to the grand stand, where large representative gath ering had assembled. Here, when the enthusiasm of the vast crowd had been quieted, the address of welcome by the Dublin Chamber of Commerce was read. This address dwelt specially upon the benefcent influence which the visit of the Prince and Princess would exercise upon the welfare of Ireland. It referred also to the labors of the Prince in the cause of housing the poor of London, subject, the address said, of great interest to many peo- pie in the Irish capital
 When the procession was about to start from the station several bands joined forces in rem derlng the air of "God bless the Prince or Wales" For time considerable excitement was occasioned by some trouble to the royal carriage. The horses became frightened by the sight of the crowd and the glare of uni forms, and shied and pranced around with all their might for few moments, during which time it was feared they would succeed in break ing away and oyerturning the vehicle. But the driver soon made himself master of the situ- ation, and in a short time had the animals quiet and under perfect control. This episode delayed the procession a short time only and
 
 through Westland TOW, Lincoln place, Nassau street, and Grafton street to College Green, where the first stop was made. The green was literally packed with one solid mass Of cars, carriages, and people afoot. The advent of the royal party was hailed with cheering.
 One of the features of the procession was the presence of marching force of students. They numbered an even 1,0e0, were jauntily dressed, bore walking sticks as arms, carried Union Jacks for banners, and made the streets resound with their cheery and lusty singing of "God Save the Queen"
 The Princess of Wales captured the populace at sight. The refined beauty of her face and the elegance of her figure were most artistic ally set off in special costume of green, which had been made for the occasion. The dress was composed of 8 close-ftting dark green velvet bodice, with silk skirt to match, and Princess bonnet trimmed with beads and dark green feathers. This tribute to the Irish colors, so deftly and beautifully made, was in- stantly recognized by the people, and her Royal Highness was greeted with applause.

She says: been afoat for two or three months, did not reach me till three days ago. Nothing that has ever been said about me has so hurt and of- tended me as this, and the deepest humiliation of it is that 80 many are ready to believe it.
 To me it seems just as much an insult to be asked whether it is true as it would be were the dear General still here. That any one can think me capable of being false to his memory eeems like being regarded criminal. A dignifed denial by my friends, suppose. can do no harm.
