ISOLATION of Chicago, all manufacturers no.

THAT THE general condition of the labor
ing classes in this country was never better
than it is now. is proved by the fact that
such large bodies Of working men as those
engaged in the recent strike at St. Louis,
and in the existing strikes in the Cumber'
land coal region and on the Third avenue
street car line in New York, and their faml-
lies, live, and apparently without inconVe-
nience, for months without doing stroke
of work, and that, too, when plenty OF work
at good wages is to be had for the asking.

ALEX ANDRIA.
FRIDAY EVENING, MAY ID.

AMAN has been fined fifty dollars in New
Haven, for threatening a storekeeper with
the withdrawal of patronage for advertising
in boycotted newspaper, and one has been
fined twenty-five dollars in Milwaukee, ioi
distributing boycotting handbills. boSc0'-
ters are treated better here, but their t'lhe
is vet to come. Alexandria is by no means
proud of the fact that she is one OF the oniy
two cities in the entire South in which the
boycott has been attempted. That 1t mas
failed does not wipe out the disgrace But
this c;tv is too near Washington TO escape
moral infection. Boycotters are bad enough;
hut the man who hasn't spirit enough to re-
refuse TO obey their ridiculous and would be
tyrannical orders is the more to be pitled. "A
free country is not the place for his home.

THE CONTRACTOR for the United States
building in Lyncbburg, whose brickayers
struck week before last for eight hours
work aud ten hours Pay, says he now has
ali the hands he wants at old prices, and is
daily in receipt of letters asking for work.
The strikers, of course, have nothing to DO.
When they see the men who have their
places going home every Saturday evening
with full weeks wages in their pockets
they experience realizing sense of the re-
suit of their own folly.

Bodies Found.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE coroner received
a dispatch this morning from f. A. Nogt,
a trustee of the town Of Cicero, near this
city, which said that nine boxes containing
the bodies Of children and adults, had been
found about half mile south of Oak Park.
1t is suppose that the corpses were those of

cd in the Haymarket explosion, and buried
secretly BY their friends.

The CUTTERS in Chicago having struck,
the clothing manufacturers in that city have
been compelled to suspend operations, and
lock out not only the comparatively small
number of strikers, but from twenty to
twenty-five thousand other men, women
and children, for whom work was prepared
by the strikers. But the suflerings OF other
laborers, necessarily incident to strikes, are
of no consequence TO strikers.

An Affectionate Lion,

Gerard, the great lion hunter, captured a
whelp in the mountains of Jebel Mezours,
Algiers, named it Hubert and brought it
up as he would bring up a dog from pup
pyhood. After a time, his huge pet
becoming too dangerous to 60 at large,
Gerard made present of the animal to
his friend, the DUO d'Aunale, and
Hubert travelled to Paris in big cage,
bemoanipg his separation from his old
master. The next year Gerard himself
visited Paris on leave of absence from
the army, and went at once to the Jardin
des Planters to see his exiled favorite.
He describes the interview as follows:
Hubert was lying down, half asleep,
regarding at intervals with half shut
eyes the persons who were passing and
repassing before him. ALI of sudden
he raised his head, his tail moved, his
eyes dilated, nervous motion contracted
the muscles of his face. He had seen
the uniform of the Spahis, but had not
yet recognized his friend. | drew nearer
and nearer, and no longer able to
restrain my emotion l stretched my hand
out to him through the bars. Without
ceasing his earnest gaze be applied his
nose to my hand and drew in knowledge
with long breath. At each inhalation

more satisfied and afectionate. Under
the uniform that had beed so dear TO him

heart. felt that it only needed a single
word to dissipate the doubt.
"Hubert!" said as had my hand
on him-''my Old soldier !"
Not another word With furious
bound and amote Of welcome he sprang
against the iron bars, that bent and
trembled with the blow. My friends fled
in terror, calling on me to do the same.
Noble animal! You made the world
tremble even in your ecstacies of pleasure.

Murder Revealed by Spirits.

WHEELING, w. Va, November 21.-
By a strange and what many people
believe to be supernatural revelation a
murder committed FIVE years ago has
been exposed in this city.
A man who had young son by q
former marriage was left a widower a
second time some five years ago. He
had been married to his second wife about
gear when she died, as is alleged
through breaking her neck by fall
down stairs.
One of the dead woman's brothers,
with the boy above alluded to, was
recently passing along street in this
city when man in front of them fell in
ft. The brother and boy stopped to
watch the sight, and after the lapse of a
moment or two the PROSTATE and writhing
man on the pavement called out: II
was murdered! My husband shot me!''
The effect of this outcry upon the boy
was remarkable. He turned pale and
screamed out that it was true that his
father did kill mama" but if his father
knew he had said 20 he would kill him.
In the excitement the man on the
sidewalk recovered and attempted to slip
away in the crowd, but when stopped
denied that he had said anything, gave
his name as Williams and said he was q
medium" The boy, in answer to fur
ther inquiries, said his father and the
dead woman frequently quarrelled, and
that his father shot her as she was going
down stairs. Some of the relations of
the family recalled that the woman's
clothing was blood stained when she was
found at the foot of the stairs and an in
vestigation was determined upon.
The remains were exhumed yesterday
in the presence Of Justice of the
Peace, when the breastbone was found to
be perforated by bullet, which was
afterward found in the cofin.
1t is supposed that Williams became
possessed of the secret in some way and
took advantage Of his alleged powers as
q medium 10 make the matter public.
The arrest of the alleged murderer will
follow.
