A BIT OF ADvIcE.-The "Woman's
Journal" gives this bit of information
TO its readers: There are many wo-
men who suppose that on the death OF
the husband they will be legally en-
titled to one-third of the property,
and rest content. Or, If not content,
they accept what they suppose will be
their legal rights. only to find that
when there is no viii their third
means only the use Of one third Of the
real estate. That is, if the real es.
tate is worth three hundred dollars,
the widow will have the use Of 500.
which at five per cent, would give
her five dollars a year, Instead of the
one hundred dollars to use as she
pleases. Within a short time we
have heard Of the surprise and disap-
pointment of several widows who had
not asked their husbands TO protect
them by a will. because of this mis-
taken idea about their thirds. Just
men should see to this matter, and by
will should save a wife from the
double grief for the loss of husband
and Of property, independence and
comfort.

The MODERN OLD MAID.-Who does
not rejoice in her? She is round and
jolly, two dimples in her cheeks, and
has laugh as musical as a bobolink' 4
song. She wears nicely fitted dresses,
and becoming little ornaments about
her thorat. and captivating knots and
COWS. She goes to concerts, parties,
lectures and matinees, and she doesn' I

and wears killing bonnets, and has
live poets and philosophers in her
train. In fact, the modern old maid
is as good as the modern young maid;
she has sense and conversation as
well as dimples and curves, and she
has q bank book and dividend. And

The Lake shore switchmen.

CHICAGO, April 1S.-The striking Lake
Shore switchmen were peaceably-inclined
to-day and there was no disorder at the
yards of the company. The officials of the
road ordered out the freight engines early
in the day and the engineers took them out
but there was no one on hand to man the
switches and therefore no freight was
handled. The strikers and quite large
crowd of sympathiZerS watched things at
the yards closely all day and caused some
delay to several cars which came in on the
Fort Wayne tracks consigned to the Lake
Shore. Members of the Switchmen'S union
who were present induced the crowd
to refrain from hindering the farther
progress of the cars. In the afternoon the
strikers held a meeting and decided to
allow four cars consigned to the Nickel
Plate to be taken out of the yards. Yard
master Miskell said TO a reporter that the
company did not propose to run trains by
the aid of new men, though advertise
ments appeared in the morning papers
calling for men to apply at the yards for
work. The officials are very reticent and
little can be learned regarding the prospect
of an early settlement of difficulties. The
Switchmen's union has not as yet Endorsed
the action of the strikers, but it is believed
IL Will uO 81 IL SuCu SuppOlI ID ICqulI cu
The strikers say emphatically that what
ever overtures are made must be made by
the company.
AT well-attended meeting of the strik-
ers tonight, a circular was ordered issued
denying that the SwitchmeD's Benevolent
association was in any way responsible for
the strike. A committee of thirty men,
bers composed wholly of strikers was ap-
pointed to guard the principal points where
a mob, should one gather, would be most
likely to do injury to the company's prop
erty. While they disclaim any intention to
create a disturbance, the strikers are deter
mined TO prevent the moving of freight
trains. should the company attempt TO do so
with new men. They also say they will do
all in their power to prevent outsiders from
taking any hand in matters or from doing
any damage to property.
