GREAT STRIKE.

Not since the great sugar house strike
and riots, two years ago, has there been
60 much excitement in Brooklyn, n. T.,
as prevailed Sunday morning. The
streets were lined with crowds of
men. women and children, hooting and
yelling, while striking employees of the
Crosstown railroad company were en-
gagged in rioing and in barricading the
streets to prevent the running of cars.
The cause of the excitement was a tie-up
on three lines controlled by the Cross
town railroad company, the Hunters
Point and Erie Basin and Calvary Gene
terry and Oakland street and Park ave-
nue.. Gen. Henry W. Slocum is presi-
dent of the company. The tie-up was
entirely unexpected by the officers of the
road; SO much so, that both Vice Pres-
dent Connors and Superintendent ID. W.
Sullivan left town to spend Sunday in
the country. The causes which led to
the sudden movement Of the men are said
to be the discharge Of certain employees,
the importation Of green drivers under
contract, and alleged favoritism on tho
part of one of the starters. The tie-uT
was ordered 10y Master Workman George
II. Pearson and the executive committee
of local assembly 5l74, Knights OF La
Dor, which is composed of employ IS O

The Arab Gave Trouble.

The havoc of Arab traders in Central
Africa is vividly illustrated by the fact
that one Of the tribes Bishop Taylor in
tended TO reach when he started his
missions three or four years ago was
wiped out Of existence some time before
the Bishops missionaries finally arrived
at the borders Of the desired country.
The Bishop was attracted to this region
by Lieut.. Wissmann's description of the
big city Of the Beniki, where DIR. Pogge
and he travelled for miles along one
street. Camping at the further end OF
the town, they were visited by about
5000 of the Inhabitants, whom the
travellers described IS gentle, cheerful,
and industrious people. About the time
DIR. Summers OF the Taylor missions
reached the adjoining Tushilange
country, Lieut.. Wissmann again visited
the Beniki region, where all was silent
in the big town, and the hus in ruins,
and the street over grown with tall grass.
The Arabs from Nyangwe had swooped
down upon the peaceful spot, and had
killed, captured, or dispersed the in
habitants.
How to put un end to the terrible out
rages Of the Arabs in Central Africa is o
problem that is beginning to give serious
concern to all the promoters of white
enterprises in Africa.

Then Outspake the Small Boy.

The trick contribution box, about
which so much was written in the days
that are gone, has been Outdone com
pletely by the precocious small boy.
This small boy is about 4 years OF age,
and was taken last Sunday evening to
church by his father. When a man
puts silver cart wheel in the contri-
button box he don't care who sees 1t.
Even when it is half, quarter, ten
cents, or even nickel, he does not ex-
ercise much care in dropping it, but
when it drops in the scale of value to a
penny the fingers and band are apt TO
hide it as much as possible from view.
On the night in question the deacons
we're taking up the usual collection and
presently reached the man and his son.
As the father deity deposited his coin
in the box with an audible jingle, the
small boy, watching everything like
lynx, spoke up with a briskness and
rapidity impossible to check, looking
the collector straight in the eye, saying:
"That's my penny; papa took 1t from

The mock sword practice between the
Viennese fencers at the BijOu theater in
Boston Mass, was varied on Saturday
night by a real duel. For some months
past, Mainline. Tagamann, an Austrian
beauty, las been the most admired
swordsman of Prof. Hart's troupe, and
the manager has paid her many compli-
ments. All this time Anna Brantsle, a
small blonde, has been jealous of her big
rival, and when the two came on the
stage, blood was in the eyes of both.
After parrying few moments, Miss Bran
tsle rushed upon her opponent with
great fury. They parried and fought IN
anger for at least fifteen minutes. Mean.

yelled and cheercd at the combatanls,
while several ladies tainted away. Fl

forced the tall favoritc to the wings OF
the theatre, beat her down upon the
floor of the stage and actually pulled hei
hair in token of victory. Prof. Hart,
who came forward to stop the fight. was
assaulted by Miss Brantsle and driven

that the tariff as it now stands makes
you pay fine averaging A. cents on every
dollars worth of things that you or your
family eat or wear or use. if those things
happen to be some cf the 1000 things in
the Republican tariff list.
Ask him if it isn't true that for some
of the things workingmen have to use
you pay an outrageous fine of all the
way from 80 cents to S.34 for every
dollars worth you have to buy. He may
not know that himself, but you can tell

The Washington critic., 1888-07-23
washington's birthday Honored

a new postotiice has been created in
Bucks County, Pa, and named "Shil-
lington," in honor of Samuel Shilling,
who, q Belvidere, n. j., special to the
New York Herald says, perhaps hhas
claims to distinction not possessed by any
other man IN the country, in that his
whole family, composed of wife and six
children, celebrate February % as the
family birthday. Shilling was born Feb
ruary %, 1917, and he fell in love with
young woman also born on Washington's
natal day. In due time they were mar
ried, and the ceremony was performed on
February 22. A year later, on the same
day, son was born, and very properly
named George. Two years later, and on
the same day, they were blessed with
twins, boy and girl, who were named
Washington and Martha, respectively.
But the singularity of the family does
not stop here, for Just two years later, on
February %, another child, the fourth
was born and named Emma, after the
mother. Three years later to a day,
another pair of twins were born, this
time two boys, who were both given pa
triotic names. The children are all liv-
ing, and, on every returning anniversary
of Washington's birthday, the whole
family have reunion, and all the resi-
dents of the little hamlet are invited to
help them celebrate it.
These birthdays are, however, sad
dened somewhat by the superstition of
Mr.. Shilling, who thinks that the death
of each member of the family will occur
on the same date.
