THE LITTLE STRIKE
UPON WHICH THE CAR DRIVERS
WERE BENT.
The Lines All Idle for Seven Hours
"A Written Contract
Signed.

The street-car drivers were deter
mined to have little fun at the ex-
pense Of the Memphis City Railway
Company, and actually made feeble
attempt yesterday TO initiate their first
movement here. The demand made
by them on the Compa ~ was given in
the APPEAL Tuesday morning, fol-
lowed by the statement Thursday
morning that the company had agreed
to pay the came as the ne " company,
l3j cents an hour with half an hour
for dinner, the drivers accepting this
and not insisting upon their demand
of l6 cents an hour. Everything went
along smoothly Wednesday, but yes
terdsy morning demand for writ
ten contract and the l6 cents an hour
was renewed. The company declined
to pay 16 cents, and no cars
went out. Stable hands made a trip
or two, and at the corner Of Main and
Beale red car, filed with ladies aud
driven by hcstler, was stopped by a
crowd, one Of the men turning on the
brake in the rear, while two others re-
yersed the mules and forced the man
to drive back toward the stable. Chief
Davis and Sergt. Kunholz arrested the
trio and threatened the remainder
with 80 much success that the car was
enabled to proceed on its way and
there was no mora trouble. The
strikers who were arrested gave their
names as II. T. Jordan, Nike Rohr
and Ed Rose, and were charged with
malicious trespass and attempting to
incite riot. Shortly after they were
arrested the drivers agreed 10 90 to
work if the company would
sign a written contract to do that
upon which they had verbally
agreed the day before, 134 cents an
hour and half an hour for dinner, and
the cars were started out once more.
The captured trio we're released and
went to work again.
The Knights OF Labor are under
stood to have had nothing to do with
the affair, and the movement was en-
tirely without public sympathy.

HOLY WEEK.
Services I'm the Catholic Church
solemn Rites.


Tonight the Office of the TeRebra
darkness from the darkening of the
churches) will be chanted, the services
beginning at 1880 o'clock. During this
office a large Candlestick is placed near
the altar, bearing fifteen tapers dis
posed in the form of a triangle, and
representing the light of Christ and of
the prophets who announced his com
ing. AS the psalms are sung the tapers
are extinguished until only the top
most remains. This, as it represents
Christ, is taken down and carried be-
hind the altar during the Miserere,
after which it is put back in its place,
to signify the temporary extinction OF
the light of Christ between his death
and resurrection.
Thursday -being the anniversary Of
the Holy Eucharist and the priest
hood of the new LAWS distinguished
by two ceremonies of great signifi-
canoe, which take place during the
solemn mass, which commences at .
o'clock.
During the "Gloria in Excelsis" Of
this mass the bells are rung, and
thenceforward remain silent until the
same hymn in the mass of Holy Sat
urday. A Host, consecrated during
this ma s, is carried by the bishop in
procession to side altar (called the
sepulcher), richly decorated, where it
remains and is visited by the adoring
faithful during the entire day.
On Good Friday the altar is denuded
to signify the desolation of the church,
the prophecies are sung which pertain
to the story of Christ's suferings,
while the faithful perform what is
called the alteration OF the cross, and
the passion according to st. John is
chanted.
On Saturday the services begin by
the blessing Of the paschal candle, an
emblem of Christ arisen, followed by
the chanting of the prophetic passages
of the Old Testament pointing to
Christ's resurrection, then the bene-
diction of the baptismal fonts, from
which the clergy return in procession,
singing the litany of the saints.

More Ahout Morris

The st. Louis Republican says: A
bombshell was thrown into the local
circle Of spectators yesterday when it
was announced that Green Morris had
decided to give Louisville the go-by
and to ship direct from Memphis to
Washington. This dumps all of the
bar'l Of Con Oregan money foolishly
invested on him from st. Louis for the
Kentucky Derby, and there was a
good deal of blasphemy on the sub
iect round Dick Roche's. The news
cannot yet have reached the East, for
in telegram received yesterday after
noon by the Republican from the Good
win Bros. of New York they mention
him first of all and quote him at
Fights. The main changes in the
speculation on the race are az

TEN LESSEE NOTES,

CHATTANOOGA Times The demand
for equal and honest assessment Of
property for taxation il heard every
where.
CHATTANOOGA Times: The balance
of power at the polls is not held by
intelligence and patriotism. Those
are divided, while Ignorance is likely
to 90 solidly AT er demagogic caterer
and leader.
NASHVILLE Banner; Aside from its
thrasOniCal and specious features, Mr.
Gould's letter embodies an earnest
protest against tremendous evil and
protest which will strike popular
chord in this country.
NASHVILLE American: There is not
much practical good 10 be derived
from the autograph OF an ex-Presi-
dent. II is only the man who is in
whose chirography is invested with q
living interest TO the hungry patriot.
CHATTANOOGA Times: Run it down
TO the root, and you find that labor
makes all that is made, and the man
who gets rich without rendering an
equivalent in some form, is n plum
derer Of the masses, rObber OF labor.
NASHVILLE Americdn The failure
of settlement is due to Mr. Gould's
duplicity in dealing with the repre-
sentatives Of the Knights Of Labor
and the motive for his extraor mary
action il believed TO have been q
sordid one.
KaorUlie TribuaC We don't believe
in citizen being shot down in cold
blood, without warning for every tril-
ling ofense or insult he may have
given somebody. The day r that
kind Of thing has pretty generally
passed in this country.
NASHVILLE Union: Nearly half the
profit on the business OF the country
! is stolen from women. II they got
fair wages the profit would not be 80
large to capital, and il would go into
hungry mouths and make comfort
able homes and happier hearts.
NASHVILLE Union: How We love
these queens OF our hearts-Our own
dainty, shapely, graceful, handsome,
tender, caressing wives and sweet
hearts, whose loving, soulful eyes melt
holes into our hearts into which heir
beauteous owners creep and nestle for
love and protection.
NASHVILLE Bonner on Gould: There
must be- something radically wrong
with our society, our laws, our polity
when one man, young man, can, IN
thirty years Of active lie, ace umulatC
1000 fortunes, WELD Unreasonable
power with his colossal wealth, and
command $4,000 men with the abso
lutism OF an autOcrat.

Add one eighth for those over poll-tax age,
but who are still young enough to vote and
total voting population is shown to be 1928.
The First will still remain the bloody

polls, leading the Fifth by 81 and the
Tenth by 80. The voting capacity of
the wards and districts runs as fol-
lows; First, Tenth, Fifth, Eighth,
Fourteenth District, Seventh Ward,
Third Ward Second Ward, Ninth
Ward, Thirteenth District, Fourth
Ward, Second District and so on down
the list, the smallest in city or county
being the Sixth Ward with 1856 polls.
So much for population and poll
ticians. When il comes TO property
owners, the Fourteenth ID strict leads
with l77S, followed by the Tenth
Ward with $50 and the Eighth Ward
with 9l2.
The city, according to this state
ment, has no less property owners
than the country, $50 more privileges
and 1885 more taxable polls.
No better proof of the increase of
the population of our city can be
given. Allowing ior mistakes, and
without going into theories, it is easy
to believe that a city which has nearly
10000 taxable polls has more popula-
ton than any late censas has given
the city of Memphis and suburbs to
