The class war still continues with
unabated evidences of hate and cru
city ON the part of the money power
towards the toilers. Not being able
to withstand the passive weapon, the
boycott, nor willing to submit to the
dictates of public opinion, the un-
fair employers appeal to the tribu-
nails created by fraud and chicanerv
for revenge. And the courts, in
many eases. have proven themselves
fully equal to the expectations of
their special clients. Thus it was in
the eases OF the committeeman who
were detailed to conduct the boycott
against Thesis, the proprietor of u
New York concert saloon. When
Adolph Rosenberg. Michael Stroh
and Max Dannhauser were placed ON
trial in the Court of Oyer and Ter
miner Wednesday, charged with ex-
tortlng 81, 900 from George Thesis,
both Rosenberg and Stroh, awed, no
doubt, by the conviction of Wilzig
and lloldorf, entered plea of gull
ty. Judge Barrett rcmanded them
for sentence. Dannhauser, however.
wanted a trial, and the entire fore
noon was consumed in obtaining a
jury. Short work was made of the
trial, only three witnesses being call
ed. Col. Fellows opened for the
people; That Is to say, the capitalists
who are prosecuting the workers are
permitted to use the lawyers paid
for by the workers against the work
crs; ''the people" is u mere tcchni-
collty phrase in this case IN irony.
Then George Thesis again told the
story of the boycott. Ills version
Wednesday did not materially differ
from that given by him on the trials
of Wll2ig and lIol,orf, the convict
ed boycotters Charles Eschcrt, sou
of chief musician Eschert, was the
only other witness for the prosccu-
tlon.
Dannhauser denied that he dis
tributed boycottlng circulars ut any
time. lie first saw Mr.. Thcss at
the consultation in Ehret's. He had
never uttered threat against Thesis.
At this point juror asked
Dannhauser if he gotany part of the
81, 900. The defendant answered,
"Not u cent This closed the ,ase,
and both sides agreed that the case
should 60 to the jury without sum
ming up. Judge Barrett, in his
charge, said all he could to influence
the jury ia bo"rgeois jury against
the workingmen, and the result was
as might have been expected: they
were romanded for sentence; for the
noble judge intends to sentence the
prisoners all at the same time, and
is no doubt gloatng over the pros
pect of striking u blow at Organized
Labor by torturlng its faithful scrv-
ants.

Some time ago Boss Baker Will

with two Of his bakers about their
working hours Of labor, and they re-
ported their grievance TO the Bak-

was prepared by lawyer with II view
to avoiding the alleged law against
boycottlng, was given to passers-by
on Saturday last:

An Important Point Which is Not General
1y Taken Into Consideration.
The hens will not stay in a closed
poultry-house during the day time, no
m after how warm and comfortable it
may be, if they can get an open shed
facing the south. 1t is the natural con-
dition of fowls to be in the open air,
and, as is well-known, some of them,
such as the turkey and guinea, much
prefer the trees at night to any shelter
that may be made for them. We do
not imply by this that it is to the adj
vantage of the farmer to expose his
fowls, for domestication has made them
dependent upon his care, but we will
state that during the day an open shed
will be of greater advantage, even in
the severest of weather, than a close
house. But at night the fowls should
be comfortably housed and protected.
1t is the habit of hens to scratch and
exercise, which helps the blood
in circulation, and hence, if a
warm shed, with plenty OF
scratching material, be ready for them
from morning till night, they will do
well as long as the wind does not sweep
upon them, but at night, when they are
quiet and inactive. they must be well
protected. Right here we will state that
nearly all the diseases of fowls in winter
and spring arise from exposure to cold
winds. The comb. if examined,
will be found to be perfect
radiator of heat, and the larger the
comb the greater the exposed surface to
the action of the cold, and the more rap
idly the heat is carried off. The same
may be said of the wattles, which often
get wet while the bird is drinking, and
become frozen. Therefore give your
hens an opportunity to work in the open
air, in well protected place. Keep
them warm and comfortable at night.
give them water in vessel with small
aperature for drinking, and avoid damp
ness as much as possible. Farm, Field

yence. More than five hundred Ital-
ian vessels, with a, 200 men, are engaged
in the coral fishery, and collect annu-
ally 5000 killogrammes OF coral, the
value of which is calculated at 4,zOO,-

% 600 killogrammes, worth 10000

of which are in Tore del Greco, and
at which 5000 hands. chiefly women
and children, are employed. The prin-
cipal markets for the coral are Ger

How She Saved Her Masters Life When
He Was Shut Up in London Tower to
Starve to Death.
You have all heard of Wilmington
and his cat, and 1 am sure you enjoyed
the story of the poor prentice boy and
his one pet. So now I will tell you of
another good old English puss. There
are many stories of faithful, noble
hearted dogs saving their masters
lives; but we do not expect a cat to
help us, because she is SO much weaker
than dog. Therefore, want you to
admire this dear pussy the more; and
want you to see the ennobling power
of love. For it was the great love for
her master which taught her how to
save him; and it's Joy to think how
well her unwearied efforts succeeded.
She was city cat, used to climbing
high walls, and taking her walks over
the roofs, for she was born in London,
and lived somewhere near the Tower,
perhaps in it. Her masters name was
Sir Henry Wyatt. He lived in
''troublous times" days so dark that
it makes one shudder to look back
upon them
'When the cat, the rat, and Lowell, our dog.
Ruled Ill England under the hog
as the country people said, when they
turned against Richard LII. in their
horror and indignation at the murder
of the little princes in the Tower. In
this feeling Sir Henry Wyatt fully
shared. He longed to overturn the
cruel tyrant, and bring back the red
rose of Lancaster. Many of the great
men in England were of the same
mind. But their first attempt failed;
Buckingham, their leader. was defeat

Wyatt was imprisoned in the Tower

Black-leg.

Known in medical science as anthrax
of the extremities, is a blood disease
usually attacking young cattle in the
summer, and is neither infectious OF
epidemic. Those in the best condition
are most apt to be attacked. High liv-
ing on luxuriant grass is generally the
cause of attack, and especially with
those that had been reduced in flesh dur
ing a hard winter. The symptoms are
sudden depression of the body as if
palsied, and some part swells, usually
the legs. 1t is more dangerous when
near or on the loins. The fever causes
blisters on the mouth and tongue.
When the animal is first discovered,
Clater says. bleed freely. then give a
purgative and cut off the feed. Careful
nursing helps more than physic, and
when Improvement is noticed. feed eau
tiously on non-heating substances,
gradually changing to more nourishing
