THE STRIKE.

The great strike of the Knights of
Labor is no nearer a settlement now
than a week ago. 1t Is assuming
huge dimensions, and will no doubt
extend to other lines of railroad
than the Gould system, where it be-
gun. 1t bids fair to be the biggest
strike this country ever witnessed
and is great struggle between labor
and capital, which is likely to ruin
the commerce of the country. Al
ready the great West and a portion
of the South are shut out from the
world. SO to speak, and it is only a
question Of time until the knights in
the East and North, who are in full
sympathy with their brethren. will be
called out.

We are on the War-Path!
Mexico Reading Circle.

The circle met promptly at 2
O'Clock, Pres. w. F. Damn in the
chair. After attending to prelimi-
nary matters connected with the
meeting The Battle of Arbela was
introduced and conducted with
great spirit by the leader, Prof.
Damn.
AS in all his exercises before the
/ circle, Prof. Damn showed himself
master of the situation. His illus
tration of the preparation for the
battle of Arbela, the skill of
Alexander in outgeneraling his
adversary, the tactics used in max
ing the onset, the results of the
battle and his discussion of
Alexander, the central figure"
combined to arouse such interest
and give such instruction as few
epics have accomplished. Prof.
Damn excelled Virgil's siege of
Troy, for he gave US a series of
diagrams which greatly aided our
understanding.
Mr.. Cross was then called to pro-
duce his "object lesson" The
history and value of object lessons
were done by the circle sin great
shape" How to conduct them,
was also a matter with which all
seemed perfectly familiar, but
when Nh. Cross introduced "The
Cup" and was about to show how
such an object would overflow with
inspiration and information, the
circle ''paralyzed" him somewhat,
by attempting to define the sides of
a cup; to distinguish between a
cup, a mug, a goblet, a jelly-glass
and an egg-cup. Mr. Cross rallied,
however, and came out with
"Colors'' "fying,'
At the next meeting "The Cir
culation" and "Stratford on
Avon' will be conducted by
Messrs. Bryan and Mcmillan.
