THE BIG STRIKE is ON.


Labor locomotive engineers to-day with
reference to the rumor that some en-
gineers who had left the employ of the
Philadelphia d Reading road, and
whose places were filled by Brother
hood engineers, were about to take the
places OF the striking Brotherhood men
on the Chicago, Burlington 81 Quincy
road. "For my own part" said one,
-! would not go and don't think any
of the boys will. OF course some of us
feel sore about the way they have used
us, and no love is lost between us. At
the same time think we can make the
brotherhood men ashamed of themselves
II we keep away, and that's what / be-
lleye we'll do. II any of the Knights of
Labor engineers go to take their places
1t will be as individuals and should not
be charged to the order" This seemed
to be the sentiment of two or three
others seen by the reporter.
They thought the Brotherhood men
sh0uldt be laugh lesson not to work
against a brother organization, and be-
lieved the best way to teach that lesson
was to shame them for what they had
done. At the same time the Knights
feel that they have fine opportunity
and it is quite likely that some Of them
will go Just to pay them in their own
coin" In fact, it was said that two or
three had already offered their services
to the officials of the Chicago, Burling-
ton d Quincy.

LINCOLN'S FIRST FIGHT.
The Way the Martyr President
WallOped the Bully.

Viroqua (Wis) Censor.
There does not live in the United
States to-day one who was so actively
associated with the martyred Lincoln as
John White, who lives down the
Bishop branch, Town of Viroqua.
While in the Censor Office the other
day Mr.. White related many amusing
incidents of his bOyhOod days in lii
nois, when he and Lincoln were
fast friends, split rails, did
surveying and went to husk-
ing bees together. Lincoln was
his senior by a number Of years, and for
that reason the every act of the lament
ed president remains fresh in the MEM
DRY of Mr.. White. 81 remember WE'LL"
said he when the bully of SangamOn
county, induced by some gOOd-natured
Wag, came to the spot where we were
chopping rails and challenged Abe to
prize fight. The great, bTawny, awk-
ward boy laughed and draWled out, Il
reckon, stranger, you're arter the wrong
man. l never fit i'll my whole life
''Bnt the bully made for Abe and the
the heap. The champion was bruising
and causing blood to flow down Lin
coins face when happy mode of war
fare entered his original brain. He
quickly thrust his hands into a con-
venient bunch of smart weed and
rubbed the same in the eyes of his OPP
ponent, who almost instantly begged
for mercy. He was released, but his
sight for the time being was extinct. No
member of the trio possessed pocket
handkerchief, so Lincoln. with usual
originality, tore from his own shirt
front the surplus cloth, washed and
bandaged the fellows optics and sent
him home. L was also present at the
first lawsuit he ever conducted III JUS
tice court. Here served him well the
inexhaustible supply of original ideas
and ways which characterized his past
and future life. In boyhood days he
was as true to his friends as his great
career proved him to be to his country"

A young man with a head of light,
wavy hair and clear-cut profile passed
rapidly into the Erie railway office yes

years agOne, and one of the principal
figures in the great Beecher scandal.

Intelligent young man. and spends all
his time attending to his own business.
The question is often asked: What
has become of Mrs. Tilton?" Without
in any way seeking to tear open the
great wound afresh, may say that she
is living quietly with her mother and
two sons on Pacific street, Brooklyn.
She has never been in want, as so many
persons have been led to believe. Mrs.
Morse, her mother, is wealthy and her
beautiful home has been her daughters
abiding place since the great trial.
Ralph TiltOn, her second son. is go
ahead young fellow and is employed i'm
a commercial house. Her two daughters
are married and have children of their
own.
And Theodore! Where is he?
In Paris. A frequenter of the cafes
and boulevards, prematurely old man,
without money or friends, an exile from
his own land, a veritable wandering
minstrel, for his once gifted pen is still
employed in verse writing, although
little of it finds its way into print.
While writing about the Tiltons,
what is more natural than to mention
the Beechers.
The son and widow of the great di-
vine are now busy reading and editing
the proOf-SheetS of his autobiography.
The book will be issued in few weeks.
and am able to announce, by the au-
thOrity of the publisher, that it will COLI
tain the first sermon ever written by
Beecher and also the story of the great
trial, written by himself. Mrs. Beecher
is still i'll doubt about giving the latter
to the publisher during her lifetime.
She finds it difficult to make up her
mind. The manuscript has been in the
hands of the printer three times and
three times recalled by Mrs. Beecher.
Col. Beecher, her son, however, says
there is no doubt that his mother will
finally decide to have the report pub
liShed.

SIR JOHNS CONVERSION.

The news comes from Ottawa that Sir
JOHN MACDONALD, the Dominion pre-
mier, is experiencing change of heart:
that he. in fact, is about to see the
error of his ways and repent while there
is yet time. This modern miracle is
said to be due TO the eloquence of two
eyangelistS. who with rare diScrimina-
ton turned their energy toward the re-
generation of the Canadian capital.
Though the simultaneous announce
nient of Sir .joHN'S heartleSs treatment
o. government employees in Manitoba
may have tendency to cast doubt
over many minds regarding the SINGER
lily of the premier's interest i'm the
evangeiiZing crusade, the assertion is
none the less confidently made that the
Dominion autOcrat'S conversion is ONLY
matter of a few days.
This ought 10 be cheering news to
Manitoba. for it is only through an
amazing change in the premier's dis
position, in the sOftening of heart
which so far as Manitoba is concerned
has seemed 10 rival adamant, that the
province eau ever hope for the Justice
she has so long demanded in vain.
As repentant sinner, Sir JOHN can
not fail TO realize that he has ruthiessly
trampled upon the rights of the Mani
tobans: that he has not only refused to
1et them aid themselves, but has aided
a corporate tyrant in tying still firmer
the bonds which have held them down.
As candidate for grace, his political
experience will have taught him that he
mast silence all opposition, even the
opposition of his own conscience, and
Sir jolIN must therefore recognize the
fact that until justice is done Manitoba
ne will have multitude of witnesses
crying against him.

George Rice's Triumph.
Chicago Herald.

Chicago Herald.
1t argues we'll for the perpetuity of
the republic that,just now in this forma-
tive commercial period, when an adj
justment to new conditions is in pro-
gress, there should be practical, hard
headed business men who would rather
be right than be rich; who would rather
be independent than dazzle the eyes Of
men as gilded slaves. Such
man is George Rice, of Marietta,
0. He deserves the thanks of the peo-
pie. However slowly the commission
has moved toward its verdict, the ver-
dict is on record-that the Standard Oil
companies did wrong at every turn;
that they were unfair and despOtic; that
they laid claim to the monopoly of all
American oils, and that in this assump-
ton they were enemies of the common
welfare. 1t is not small fame which
belongs to George Rice. His triumph
enriches him in honor, though it may
have impoverished him in goods.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 26.-The officials

all their agents to receive no freight
after o'clock tomorrow morning, and
as a result there will be general stag
nation of business on the Hannibal &

they have nothing definite in regard to
the action of the engineers and firemen,
but they take this precautiOn for safety.
The engineers and fremen are very ret
icent, and say they will allow their ac-
tons to speak for them when the time
comes. At meeting of the Kansas
City division of the Locomotive En-
gineerS this afternoon the order to
strike was read, but the action taken
was not made public.

STRAY SUNBEAMS

An incident in the life of the late
Judge GEORGE W. THOMPSON, of West
Virginia, who died few days ago at
the advanced age of eighty-two, Illus
trates how difficult it was for man liv-
ing OIL the border during the war times
to occupy a conservative position.
Judge THOMPSON had been prominent
Democratic politician. and at one time
represented his district in congress. At
the breaking out of the war he was
judge of the Wheeling judicial circuit.
Because he refused to give his voice for
secession he was removed from Office by
the Richmond secession convention:
and because he denounced the eman-
cipatiOn proclamation as an unconstitu-
tional act he was arrested by the
United States military authorities, and
sent to military prison at Columbus,
where he was confined for nearly year
end then exiled. Men who lived on the
border i'm those days either had to be
very pronounced on one side or the
other, or had to keep exceedingly quiet.

The Senator Came to Order.


In the last congress, Senator Hoar
offered resolution to require the pres
ence of quorum at the prayer, but the
second day after he himself failed to
appear in time. When the prayer had
been delivered, Mr.. Hoar entered the
chamber wearing somewhat of an air of
embarrassment. His delinquency was
observed, and the resolution became a
dead letter. This ignoring of the PRAYER
has grown to be habit of
the senate. When Judge Davis,
of Illinois, was president pro
tempore, he entered the chamber with
the chaplain one day, and the only SEN
ator Visible was Mr.. Butler, of South
Carolina. Judge Davis did net pause
an instant. but with all the solemnity
and gravity usually observed by him on
such occasions, he gave stroke with
his gavel, and said: 1.-THE senator
from South Carolina will come to Or
der" The summons was treated as a
jest by the galleries and the pages on
the floor. but it was not so Intended.
The presiding officer took that method
of rebuking the senate, and of having
his rebuke 90 into the Record.

Making Cigar Labels.

1.-THE making of cigar labels requires
the greatest lithographing skill. The
design is first executed in water colors
by the artist, after which it is transferred
to specially prepared Bavarian stones,
separate stone being required for each
color. BY printing different colors on
top of each other the most wonderful
and pleasing combinations are pro-
duced. Several labels are printed az
enormous. for it is so difficult to justify
the different parts to the necessary
nicely that y large proportion has to be
cast aside as imperfect. Each firm has

without any delay. "The larger label
manufacturers" continued the manu-
facturer, ''employ their own artists, who
are kept busy In getting up new de-
signs. but many Bohemian artists man
age to exc out an existence by sketch
ing designs. A good sketch is often
worth 500, while others, again, bring

ploy our own artists is the result of the
dishonest practices of the BOhemians
themselves. When man got good
idea he would make several drawings
of the same design, each varying only
in the minor parts. He would then sell
them to different manufacturers and be
paid several times over for the same de-
sign.

The only serious duty of the convention
will be the formulation of platform
and the selection of vice presidential
candidate. The Democratic masses
