scHooLBoYs ON A STRIKE.
Hickory Switches Should be Applied

About half the boys in the Eleventh Ward
School at Troy, New York, struck Monday
afternoon for shorter hours, and refused to
continue their studies. They demanded only
one session day, and that to be from eight
O'Clock until noon. The boys held an open
air mass meeting, and then procuring laths
and sticks swarmed through the neighboring
streets threatening violence to pupils who did
not Join them. The reserve from one police
station was sent to the scene to give whatever
protection was necessary. The strikers tried
to induce the boys in another school to follow
their example.
About one hundred boys, pupils Of public
school in Greenpoint, Long Island, made
demand on the Principal on Monday that the
usual morning and afternoon reeesses be ex-
tended from 10 to 80 minutes, and that on
Friday the afternoon session close half an
hour earlier than at present Their demands
not being granted, the boys refused to return
to the school after the morning recess and
picketed the entrance to prevent others from
entering. The trouble assumed such threat
ening proportions that the Principal sent for
the police, and sergeant and several officers
were sent to the school. Finally the mother
of the chief ringleader arrived and succeeded
in forcing her son into the school. After he
had gone in the other boys quietly marched in
and no further trouble was experienced.

Oleomargarine.

The Baltimore Produce Exchange gives
notice that it will institute more vigorous
enforcement of the law against the illegal sale
of oleomargarine. The law passed by the
Legislature at its recent session is much bet
ter drawn and more stringent than the previ
Gus one. The former statute was badly word
ed and allowed many loopholes for escape.
The new law, however, is believed to be in
vulnerable, and the Exchange expects, if the
prosecutions under it are as vigorous as under
the old law, to entirely break up the selling
of oleomargarine for butter. The new law
provides that any person who shall manufac-
ture for sale, or offer or expose for sale, any
article or substance resembling butter or
cheese, not the legitimate product of the dairy,
and not made exclusively of milk or cream,
but into which the oil or fat of animals enters
as part, or into which any melted butter or
oil thereof has been introduced in the place
of cream, shall prominently, distinctly and
durably stamp, brand or stencil on the top,
bottom and sides of every package the word
''oleomargarine" in letters half an inch
square, so as to be seen in whatever position
the package is turned. In every retail sale of
the article the seller must deliver to the pur-
chaser the article in a wrapper on the outside
of which shall be the word 'Oleomargarine,
in letters half an inch square, so that the pur-
chaser may be appraised of what he is buying.
Sales of limitations of butter, whether oleo-
margarine, butterine, suene, &C., whether
wholesale or retail, if the article is not prop
erly stamped, is to be void, and no action for
the price thereof can be maintained. Retail
dealers are not to sell any of the limitations of
butter except from receptacle on which the
word ''oleomargarine' is so plainly stamped
as to be seen from any position by the pur-
chaser. Dealers are prohibited selling the
limitations, even if properly stamped, to any
one who has asked for butter. The penalty
for violating the law and for illegally conceal
ing the inscription is Imprisonment in Jail
from 10 to 60 days and 500 fine for first
offense; for second offense Imprisonment from
80 days to one year and fined $3.50. One
half of the fine is to go to the informer.
Proof of the sale, offer to sell or exposure for
sale of any of the limitations of butter is to be
evidence of the knowledge of the character of
the article. Any one offering to sell the imi-
tations illegally will have their stock seized
and sold for the benefit of the public school
fund. The act goes into effect from the date
of its massage.

as it has been so often demonstrated, the
disease can rarely, if ever, be cured by medi-
cal means and it is certainly favoring the
spread of it to attempt such treatment as the
preventive measures which have been recon-
mended and criticized. Two and only two,
in my belief should be employed-one, moe

Hawkers' and Peddler's License.

In response to communications addressed
to him by several clerks of courts about the
peddlers' license, Comptroller Turner on
Thursday stated that the new law regulating
licenses for hawkers and peddlers goes into
effect June l. This law increases the cost of
licenses from $40 to 500 for foot peddlers.
The new rate for one horse peddlers is $50,
and two horses 5000. The comptroller ad-
vised the clerks to explain to applicants that
as the old law is in force until June not to
issue licenses until that time. If licenses are
issued in May as usual they would be void
after June l, and parties taking them out
would have to renew them at that date.
