A Strike in Russia.
[Chicago Tribune. |

The Russian authorities have novel way
of suppressing strikes. Recently 2, 200 work
men employed in large cloth mill near Mos
COW struck because the proprietors reduced
the six working days to four. They claimed
that they had been engaged until Easter for
six days work per week. Several quarrels
took place. and at last violence was threat
ened to all Englishman, one of the managers
The governor of Moscow sent a strongly
armed force to the spot and arrested all the
ring-leaders and agitators, nearly 200 in
number, and lodged them in prison. Then
he notified the owners of the mill that they
could only recommence work fully
satisfying the legal demands of the work
men. This was eventually done All the
men returned and the mill started up afresh
While on the strike the men received
soldiers rations and the women white bread
By this policy the governor kept the ring
leaders away from the workmen, took care
of the strikers, and brought the owners to
terms

How to Regain a Lost Voice.

lfOTIulSnGiy h6Vl6W.I
A broken-down old German actor at Riga
induced Caroline Bauer to appear at per-
Torrance announced for his benefit On the
appointed day, however, she had completely
lost her voice from the effects Of a severe
cold, and the poor man was in despair, since
his tickets had been sold entirely on the
strength of the promised appearance of the
Berlin actress, and if she failed him he
would be required to refund the
money, the greater part of which was
already expended. He had a wife and many
children; would she not, in pity for
them, try his remedy for hoarseness! 1t was
a severe one, "too terribly Russian for a
delicate lady, but" "And this remedy"
"Wel. you must let whole quart of scald-
ing hot beer pass slowly and uninterruptedly
down your throat" as that all?" "No,
there is something more, honored frauIein,"
said Dole, timidly; before drinking it you
must hold a tallow candle-a good thick
one, four to the pound-in the boiling beer
and stir it about till nothing but the wick is
leftI" The kind-hearted actress shuddered, but
consented to swallow the nauseous draught,
and by evening had completely recovered
her voice

Asbestos in Mechanics.
scientific Americana

The incombustible and heat-enduring quail
ity OF the mineral asbestos has always rec
commended it for certain purposes; but it is
not until within a comparatively recent
period that it has come into extensive use in
the mechanic arts. For sheathing steam
pipes and for steam packing, preparations of
asbestos are undeniably valuable, but re-
Gently it has been applied to the packing of
cocks-plug cocks-for steam, hot water,
and acids, with excellent results.
The asbestos, being in the form of disin-
tegrated fibers, lacks the cohesiveness neces
sary for keeping in place as packing, and
therefore small proportion of rubber is
used as cement

plains, but every evening about dark he
used to drive rae in his buggy to his other
house on King street. He always drove
white horse. The place on King street
looked like a soda water stand from the
street, but there are several rooms at the
back. The place was visited during the
evening by Chinese, Japanese, HaWallans,
haoles, etc. They all went there for i'm
moral purposes, / left Harrison at Christ
mas. WANTED my trunk and clothes, but
he would not give them to me. L at once
made complaint to the Marshal; told him
Harrison had my trunk and would not
give it up, and that [ wanted him to help
me to get it. | further told the Marshal
that [ was willing to testify to what had
taken place at the King-street house. The
Marshal said he could do nothing at all for
me IN the matter.
The above is the statement made by
the girl, and it is evidently true. That
Harrison has kept disorderly house is
true, for he pleaded guilty SIX months
ago to doing so, and was fined. That he
was still doing so up to Christmas must
also be true, according to the girls state
ment. If so, then why in the name OF
common sense does not the Marshal in
ouire into the girls statement. Is it not
his duty to find out whether the girls
story is true, and help her to get her
clothes back? Certainly it is; but he
has not done so. 1t looks very much as
if there was sufficient evidence to obtain
a conviction. For the past few months
the Marshal has neglected his duty IN
many instances Whether he is paid to
neglect it in such cases we do not know.
The Marshal must understand that the
community is much worked up in this
matter. There is intense feeling against
this man Harrison all over town for be-
ing engaged in such vile business, in
stead OF earning his money by the sweat
of his brow 1t is disgraceful business
for white man to follow. Since this
matter first came up we have come into
possession of evidence of a most damag-
ing nature, and it was not sought for.
But when we have such a sleepy-headed
Marshal at the head of the police, what
is the use Of trying to break up this in
famous business? Let him wake up and
do his duty in this matter, or else step
out and let some one come in who will.

We think there can be no two opinions
about the appointment of Mr.. S. B.

Justice OF the Supreme Court. His ca
reer as member OF the bar in this city
has been long and honorable one, and
whether his fitness be gagged by his

the result must be the same We believe
that the unanimous verdict of the bench

An EXPLANATION.

What is this nervous trouble"
with which so many seem now to be
afflicted? If you will remember
few years ago the word Malaria was
comparatively unknown-to- day it
is as common as any word in the
English language, yet this word
covers only the meaning Of another
word used by our forefathers in
times past. So it is with nervous
diseases, as they and Malaria are
intended to cover what our grand
fathers called, Biiousness, and all
are caused by troubles that arise
from a diseased condition OF the
Liver which in performing its func-
tions finding it cannot dispose of the
bile through the ordinary cbannelis
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can well appreci-
ate cure. We recommend Green's

U. S. ARMY HORSES.
Qualifications of the Animals Selected
for Uncle Sans Service.

Qualifications of the Animals Selected
for Uncle Sans Service.
The army regulations provide for
the purchase of horses in q certain
routine of fashion, says the Army
and Nary Gazette. AS matter Of
fact only geldings are accepted.
They must be sound and in good
condition; that is, with no traces Of
constitutional defects; the height
must be from fifteen to sixteen
hands; they must not be less than
five nor more than nine years old.
The specifications conclude with the
ambiguous statement that the horse
must be in all respects fitted for the
cavalry service. The latter being
solely matter of individual opinion,
is the source of many quarrels and
disputes between contractors and in
spectors.
More care is exercised in the Sc
lection of cavalry horse intended
for the artillery service. He must
possess a bright, intelligent eye, a
good head, shapely shoulders and
breast, and hard hoof, free from
splints and unsightly marks. His
weight must be between nine hund-
red and eleven hundred pounds.
The color of the horse has much TO
do with his being purchased. The
colors which are preferred are roam,
black, bay and chestnut. Next to
these come iron-gray and sorrel.
Horses of "oil' colors-such as
calicoes. buckskins, etc.-are taken
only when it is necessary to do so
to complete contract. White
horses are rarely accepted for the
ranks, although they are sometimes
bought and used in mounting
buglers or band. The modus OPP
erandi of purchasing horses is, as
rule, as follows: At stated periods,
say the end of each quarter, each
company commander of cavalry
trip makes out a requisition on the
assistant quartermaster of his de-
partment for the number of horses
which he may need.
When the acquisitions are all in
the quartermaster advertises for
bids for the horses wanted, the
animals to be delivered at certain
place for inspection on certain
day. Each bid sent in must be in
triplicate, and accompanied by
guarantee, indorsed by two response
BILE parties, that in case the bid is
accepted the contract will be full
filled to the letter. At the time and
place agreed upon, the contractor
must not only have the number of
animals actually required by the
Government, but also sufficient
number to select from in case Of re-
jections and he should fall short of
fulfilling the terms Of the contract.

THE WEST VIRGINIA CENTRAL'S S ROUTE.
Until the past August the West
Virginia Central began at West Vir-
gina Junction, where it connected
with the Baltimore and Ohio, and
extended thence in Southwesterly
course through West Virginia to
Davis, distance of 70 miles. Its
we'll war with the Balti-
more and Ohio, eliminating in the
Cookery farm dispute, caused the
extension to Cumberland. that direct
connection could be made at that
point with the Pennsylvania Com
pany's line and the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal. The Piedmont and
Cumberland road was built, dis
tance of 26 miles, TO furnish this
connection, and it was completed in
August last. The B. and o. and
West Virginia Central are on good
terms once more. The road is now
about one hundred miles long, and
places the Elk Garden region
nearer Baltimore than any COM
peting line. In fact, no bitumlnous
coal region is nearer the tidewater
than the Cumberland and Elk Gar
den regions. From the Kanawha
region to Newport News it is 4lO
miles; from Pocahontas to Norfolk
it is $50 miles from Clearfeld, Pa,
to Philadelphia it is 253 miles, and
to New York 1922 miles. Baltimore,
then, is only entering upon its
career as a point for distributing

WHY WAS IT BUILT?

The road was built to bring the
immense coal fields of West Vir-
ginia within reach of a market.
Without the mines it would be
worthless. It's charters granted by
the State of West Virginia confers
the privilege of buying and selling
real estate, mining coal, iron ore and
other minerals, buying, selling and
manufacturing lumber All these
privileges have been enjoyed more
or less. The company now owns in
fee 29,069 acres of coal and timber
lands, 3,175 acres Of iron ore lands,
total of 1924 acres, and has the
mineral rights of 1,743 acres of coal
lands, 1854 acres Of iron ore lands,
a total of 1861 acres placed at
their disposal This is only a por-
tion of the land owned by private
individuals, and the products of
which are carried to market over
the road. The company's real
estate is valued at $5,96S,45S.76.
The cost of the road proper, dis
tance of 60 miles, has been 81, 1,107,-
13S.OS. The road has not been in
vulnerable to floods. Last summer
it's trestles were washed away, but
they are now being replaced by
stone culverts.
