Since the Strike Began.

Largest Days Work on tho Huntington
Since the Strike Began.
CHICAGO, March l5.-There were in
dications OF trouble with the engineers
and tlremen at the stock yards for a
time yesterday.
The Burlington road brought in fifty
seven cars of stock. An engineer refused
to pull them and left his engine, and the
officials thought there would be n strike.
Later the men met and talked the mat
ter over, and finally work as usual was
resumed. pulling the Burlington cars
like the rest.
There are from twenty-five to thirty
engineers ut the stock yards, which were
furnished by the different railroads to
the stock yards company, but the latter
hires the men.
Yesterdays was the largest days bus
iness done by the Burlington since the
strike began. Besides the transfer bust
ness twenty-five freight trains came in
and nineteen were sent out. Between
four and five hundred freight cars each
way were handled. Sixty-four cars Of
live stock came and one hundred and
fifty more are expected to-day. The
Northwestern commenced exchanging
freight in the afternoon. Its engines
took forty-eight cars out Of the lumber
district and put four in.
The story that the Wisconsin Central
cars offered to the Burlington were re-
fused from lack OF facilities is denied by
Trainmaster Pope, of the @ road. Mr..
Pope said he was prepared to handle any
reasonable amount OF freight from all
the roads and had done 80 up to date.
The Belt Line took away eight cars yes
terday afternoon which had been block
AIDED for ten days, but the largest block
ade still exists with this company.
General Manager Stone has issued the
following conditional report OF business
for March Is in the Chicago yards:

teen delivered Twenty-Five switch ell
gines were working, and transfers were
made with the Wisconsin Central, ILL

NEW YORK, March 15.-The weather
this morning was again warm and bright,
and the prospect is that there will be
much thawing.
Great banks Of dirty snow are still
piled on either side of Broadway, and all
the other avenues and streets. Gangs
OF men are hard ut work shoveling and
carting, but their task is stupendous
one. E...tl E
The railroads moving into the city are
all moving and the business men in New
Jersey, Long Island and the upper part
Of the State, reached New York this
morning for the first time since satur-
day. Some of the surface ears are rum
ming. The Erie road was the first to get
train in. At 6 o'clock this morning
the Chicago express, which has been
showed in since Monday at Monroe,
came in, passengers all well. The Penn
sylvania road hopes to get n train through
to Philadelphia to-day.
Business has once more been seriously
attempted, but the difficulties are still
great. The cross streets are still blocked
with huge drifts Of snow, and the street
cleaning department has not yet turned
its attention to them. An attempt is be-
ing made to melt the snow by lighting
great bonfires, but the effect is not per-
ceptible. The sun is shining brightly
and the slush is deep in many places.

READING FOR CHILDREN.
influence Upon crowiss Minds Of the Proper
Literature.


Litesstsse.
Boston Herald
There is nothing more secret and sub
tie in its influence upon life than the act
of reading a book, unless it to be the IN
fluence of the man or woman behind the
book. In the Forum articles entitled
1.-The Books That Have Helped Me" the
interest Of the intellect and the whole
moral nature have usually been awak-
ened by the reading of single book in
the early days of childhood. 1t was
not known a. the time, but when the
years of youth had heightened into man.
hood or womanhood, and the reflection
upon ones life inevitably turned back
to the book that one real in a corner,
perhaps by stealth, in ones country
home, all the accidents of the reading,
the place, the hour, the burst of intel
ligence, the sense of the largeness of the
world, the CONSCIOUSNESS of new powers,
came rushing in upon the inward sense,
till the glory of that revelation OF the
world to our uninitiated senses seems in
memory the most thrilling moment IN
ones life. 1t Is from this point of view
that one should look upon the multi
tude of books which are prepared for
our children. They are such paper as
the Police Nelrs, the New York Ledger,
and the story papers of a similar char
acter, which it is a calamity for our
youth to see and read, but there are sew
eral others, especially intended for them
and mentioned in the Boston Journal
of Health, which it is pleasure for US
also for us to commend. They are
st. Nicholas, Wide-Airdke, the Youths
Companion and Harper's Young PEG
pie, which are a godsend to every fam
lily in which they are read. You are
conscious of personal hope for the chill
dren who have access to such reading as
is found in these periodicals. The next
step is the reading of a book with the
consciousness of it as a whole. The
schools are rightly directing the reading
of the children in connection with our
public libraries; but, after all, it is the
interest of parents in what their chill
dren are reading which is the best sort
Of oversight or stimulant. Where teacher
parent and librarian look after the read
ing of children. see that 1T is both good
in quality and not too great in quantity
very nearly the ideal sort Of education
is reached. There is no reason why our
youth in this city, and, in fact, in q
large part of Massachusetts,, should moi
be greatly guided in their intellectual
training by placing in their hands the
reading which is in itself long step to
ward n liberal education.
The Palatka daily news. (Palatka, Fla.) 1884-1888, 1888-01-10

Many persons who wish to send THE
PALATKA NEWS items for publication are
embarrassed by feeling that they ''do
not know how to go about it," We give
them some rules deduced from the prac-
tice Of many who do write communica-
tions for the paper:
Write on both sides of the sheet. Then,
IL you see your article in print, you will
know that it got there purely on its
merits. OF course, the editor swore over
it, but he Is a wicked man anyhow who
il always seeking for opportunities to
break the Fourth Commandment. He
has no work to do and copying off your
manuscript will keep him out of mis-
chief.
Commence your article at the very
top of the sheet. Those headlines you
see over paragraphs and articles in this
paper get there themselves and you need
not believe the editor when he says you
compel him to paste sheet of paper at
the top of your communication.
Suppose he does--an editor is a man who
il dying of lack Of work. Give him as
much labor to fix up your effort for the
press a. you can. II he does not throw
it into the waste basket you will know
there was really some merit in your
communication.
Do not spell proper names carefully.
The typesetter should know everybody
in the world, and how the same every
body" prefers to have his name spelled.
Anyhow, what right has a man to insist
upon his name being spelled but one
way?
Write on all the odd scraps you can
pick up and always write with the
pencil. Then have piece of India rub
Der by you to rub out your mistakes. No
metropolitan Office has any use for India
rubber erasers, but by the use of India
rubber you prove how superior
to any metropolitan newspaper
Office is a paper in the alleged prov
inces." Rub out twice over, if you can,
and write the pure, unadorned truth on
the shell Of paper that is left after the
muscular effort that is entailed in the
process Of rubbing. The newspaper man
per Sc has forgotten--the use of rubber.
Prove that the amateur is superior to the
newspaper man.
Don't send your name in. If you do,
the editor. who by nature is traitor,
might publish it. He says he only asks
your name as a guarantee of good faith.
He merely means by that that he wants
to be sure you are not coward eager to
stab somebody in the dark and leave him
to fight it out. Out upon such
cowardly editors. What is he tor If not
to fight the battles Of every one who
feels that Providence has not arranged
things as ne would?
ia typographical error is made, or if
the editor does not send you extra cop
les, or if the editor does not see the drift
of your adversary's communication, or il
the editor does not take up your quarrel,
give him heavenly counsel "a to
his duty to stand firm for right and JUS
tice and truth, whatever the cost.
BY careful study of the foregoing
instructions any man can become
an ordinary communicate to a
newspaper. Such regular cor
respondents as we have-the salt OF
florida-do not need instructions, and
we feel that every sensible man or
woman who sends us a column or so OF
news, or comment, which is more val
liable than news sometimes, is the par
ticular friend Of THE PALATKA NEWS.
We are writing only for the diffident.

A GALA WEEK.

The proposition has been made to have
three or four days Of festival of out-of
door sports early in February. The
plan suggested includes trap shooting
tournament, in which teams from Jack
sonville and other cities will compete
here with team from the Palatka Gun
club; contest between the famous oars
men, Hamm and Teemer, il it can be ar
ranged; and a regetta for cash prizes,
four Of them, to which yachrsmen of
Jacksonville, st. Augustine, Fernandina,
Tampa and other cities ON the East and
West Coasts and along the st. Johns
will be invited. A foot ball match and
other sports may be included. These
gala days will wind up with ball. The
St. Johns Yacht Club has taken hold of
the enterprise with an enthusiasm which
is shared by such members of the Palat-
ka Gun Club az have been consulted.
4 meeting will be held tonight in the
Yacht Club rooms to which certain rep
resentative citizens have been invited.
The notice is short but every other day
Of the week is engaged for such events
as the Leap Year ball, the Sub-Tropical
Exposition opening, the formal opening
Of the Ponce de Leon Hotel. The pre-
liminary steps must bs taken at once to
make the matter entirely successful.
The gentlemen selected to assist in
shaping the idea have been chosen on
account of their prominence in general
business, in the hotels, in transportation
interests, or as members of other organi-
zations which will be invited to cooper
ate. As'will be seen by an article in
our local columns. the invitations have
not been confined to Palatka.
The time chosen is one when the State
is likely to be full of tourists. These
sports will attract crowds to Palatka il
well advertised. This festival will
serve to advertise the city abroad and if
successful can be repeated annually I'M
Til It will become known as a peculiar
feature Of Palatka life. Thus this city
will enjoy fully the advantages of her
central position and of the beautiful
sheet of water before her wharves. 1t is
to be hoped that the citizens invited to
participate in the meeting tonight will
make some patriotic sacrifices, if neces-
sary, to attend.
