$1,000 in the hands Of Col. John Cockerill
to pay for an excursion to be given for the
New York newspaper men. This totals up
$4,000 which Mr.. Pulitzer has paid out to
the New York Press Club. The other news.

has been most liberal to the press gang
since he has purchased the World and he
has drawn about him the very best talent
in the business. That's the way to build
up a newspaper.

"A great deal, sometimes. The ami

tons. They could not in decency re-
fuse the demand, il made by certain
number of their respectable supporters;
and yet we are convinced that. to COM
ply with the demand in anything like
an honest and thorough fashion, would
be to show that their work was, in part
at least, hollow and even hurtful. We
believe that vast amount of harm is
being done. not only by thoughtless
private charity, but by ill-organized,
ill-directed, and over-ambitious corpo-
rate charity. However, let scientific
thinkers, men who have taken to heart
all that is implied in the great truth
that two and two make four, settle
right down to work on the reports of
some of these pretentious concerns; and,
where they find information lacking
that ought to be given, quietly ask for
it. The world would be none the worse
for the puncturing of few of the bub-
bles blown by vanity and floated by
sentimcntality; and the way to puncture
them is to bring the scientific method"
to bear on their very unscientific opera
tons. Science Honthly.

LABOR NOTES.

The strike of twenty-six stonecut-
tiers in yard at Detroit is likely to
cause general lockout, as all the con-
tractors in the city held a meeting and
decided to act unitedly against the de-
mands of the union.
After a strike lasting four months,
the stove-molders of Troy, New York,
numbering fifteen hundred, returned
to work Wednesday ON the manufac-
turers' terms. Five thousand collar
girls, who have been idle six weeks,
have returned to duty at the old rate
Of wages.
A general strike of all the street-car
drivers In Minneapolis was inaugurated
Sunday evening, the cause being the
order issued by the company prohibit
ing drivers from sitting down while on
duty. BY 10 o'clock almost all the old
drivers had abandoned their cars. The
company made an effort to supply their
places with new men, but the strikers
advised and assisted The recruits to tie
up the cars OF take them back to the
stables. No violence was manifested,
however. Superintendent Goodrich
has appealed to Mayor Ames for police
protection.

In the discussions of the Texas con-

the Indians was an armory from which
many a poisoned arrow was drawn.
On one occasion, while Houston was
president, he asked the secretary, "Well,
what did you have to say about me to-
dayp"
The secretary replied, "The same old
story, general; all about that breech-
cloth.
