A Great Lockout Threatened.
ST.. LOUIS, June 4.-A great lockout
If planning mill employees and carpen' !
ters, 10, 900 in all, is threatened. Wnen
the demand for eight hours was made
by the planning mill employees, 1t was
refused and a majority OF employers
combined to uphold the old ten hour
system. The Phoenix mill, however.
remained ouside the combination ana
settled with their men on basis oi
nine hours work per day and an ad'
vance of 10 per cent in wages. This
was not satisfactory to the alamagated
council, of the building trades and
strike was ordered. The men refused
10 obev the order and the council boy
cotted the Phoenix mills and its en-
ploves. This caused several master
builders to abandon their work 10
hand and the meeting "Wednesday

which was that unless the. boycott on

oUACnIrA RIVER FnEIanT HATES.

Y. O. States)
On last Monday, under the heading
il "St. Louis as RIVAL" the Plea
yune republishes a clipping from the
Trinity (La.) Herald about the steamer ss
D. R. Powell's trip from st. Louis 70
Ouachita riverr where some severe
structures are made about the comperir
son Of freight rates between ST. Louis
and Ouachita river and New Orleans
and Ouachlta river. The Herald aaya
that New Orleans is having one Of her
most valuable trades diverted from
her mainly from lack Of energy ana
want of cheap rates, and for explara-
ton asserts that one Of the Powell's
freight bills was for ten sacks Of corn
| from st. Louis to Trinity, amounting
to $4.75, and therein asserts that the
/ freight on the same corn from New
| orleans is Sc or at q low water = 90

Dimensions Of Heaven.

"Did you ever read the sixteenth
verse of the twenty first chapter of
Revelatation? No? Well. xead it,
and you will get some interesting
figures about the world above the
skies. It gives the dimensions OF
heaven and reads this way: And he
measured the city with a reed, $4,000
furlongs. The length and the breadth
and the height Of it are equal ;"
Have you ever made the calculation -
Eyes. here it is now" and he handed
the reporter the following: "Twelvs
thousand furlongs equal 1890. 900 feet
which. being cubed, is 1876. 793, ,O88.. /.
0O0. 900, 900. 600 cubic feet. Reserving
one half of this space for the throne
and court Of heaven, and half the

mainder, 124.l9S.272. 900. 600. .OOO, 900
cubic feet. Divide this bv 4006, the

and there will be 3o,321. .750, ,OOO, 900

What 10 Q Clearing Houss.

In reply 70 acorrssponlsnt inquiry
~ to the object and business Of clear.
ing house, the New York Journal OF
Commerce says: There are upward
Of sixty banks in this city. Without
clearing house each Of these would
be obliged to make q settlement with
all the rest Suppose the A bank haa
checks .ad drafts on sixty banks max.
ing = balance in its favor amounting
ia the aggregate to $500, 900. but owes
the 6lst bank the sum Of $50l 900;
without this general clearance it must
be sent all over the city to collect this
half million dollars and then adding
81, 900 to it must pay its debt. But
with clearing house all it has to dc
is to find out whether it is debtor OF
creditor on the whole and pay that
sum over. In the case above describ.
ed. after the exchange had gone around
the room. it would be found that the
A bank had nothing to collect, and
had only $1,000 to pay. Instead oi
haLdling$ .O0l 600 by receiving $500,
900 and paying out $50l, ,OOOit handles
only $1,000. The representatives
(clerks) Of all the banks meet in q
large room. Fash has q little deck
with an outside ticket hole. The
managers then start on their rounds,
and each exchanges slips with all the
others When through, it is found
who is debtor and creditor in relation
to the whole body, and exactly how
much Those who are debtors then
pay in What they owe, and the clear
ing house pays it out to the creditors,
and not cent is left on the counter
The sum Of three or four millions az
a resulting balance will settle daily
exchanges for $lOO,OOO,O00, as only
those who owe u balance on final set
tlement have to pay anything. aud
only those who have . credit on final
settlement will receive anything. and
one must exactly balance the other.
