a sculptor's Experience While Trying to
Secure Models In Buffalo.
BUFFALO, Jan. S.-Hsnry scharstein, q
New York sculptor, hos been here some
time at work on plastic statuss for the
boxes at Music Hall. He has experienced
great difficulty in securing models, and is
greatly disgustsd at the prudery OF Buffalo
women. He advertised for young women
OF good form to pose for the artist and got
plenty OF answers.
The hrst applicant he visited was very
pretty. Her mother said: "We!l, we
saw your notice in the paper, and told
Jennie II she could make few pennies
BY letting respectable man paint her iace
! didn't See as there was anything wrong
in it."
The artist explained that he wanted the
model for nins-foot nude statue OF ie-
male character Of Morse mythology. $50,

let him finish. Jonnis ahrieked and few
from the room crying, aud her mother
said she neversupposed q gentleman could
insult lady 30 basely.
At another place the big brother was
called in. The artist had all he could do
to save himself from thraahing. Finally
he got four young women who promised
to come TO his study, and when the time
came all "aunked." One wrote that her
mother had threatened to break her back.

TuR disagreement between the glass
manufacturers and the workmen throws
ou! Of employment over a thousand per-
sons in the city Of Wheeling alone. The
difference Of opinion Is radical. Each
eide Is firm. There is no prospect Of an
early Ge.slement. The present situation
may last ak monthr, year; nobody can
tell when 1t will end.
The glsss trouble cannot fail to recall
the nsil trouble. Nobody supposed that
the nsil strike would lsst for fifteen
moutha. When that strike ended the
naiers we're decisiSely defeated. But this
was no! all. In those fifteen months
Wheeling had lost her grip on the nail
market, aud It is doubtful II the lost hold
can ever be regained. II oil thAthaS come
to pasu had been seen from the beginning,
the history Of tho affair would not. be
ftteGn months long.
Is Wheeling about to repeat in the
glaso trade ito sad experience in the nail
trade? we put this seriously to the
manufactured and to the waGe.earners in
that industry. Those OF us who are on
the outside may bs unable to decide on
the merits OF the controversy we Gre not
unable to Gee that like causes may work
like results.
While the glass houses in the manutsc'
turofS association lie idle, because en-
ployera and employees cannot agree, there
isOvery seusrGi agreement between other
manufacturers aad their employees to go
ahead and make all they can. Besides
thiH, ambitious communities srs Offering
inviting inducements to experienced per-
sons to come and cast their lot with thom.
Every day Of ldleness Ia Wheeling adds

An assault was made yesterday upon John
Ford, an aged and respected citizen liv-

miles east Of West Union. It is stated
thntMr. Ford arose very early and went
to his barn, some distance from the house,
to feed his stock. He failed to return in
ample time, and some Of his family went
to the barn and found the old man lying
unconscious near tho corn crib, with his
face and body beaten and bruised almost
beyond recognition. There are seversl
theories as to what caused the murderous
assault, but It Is generally thought that
Mr.. Ford discovered some one stealing his
corn aud the thief, rather than be identi-
fed, made the assault. at last accounts
Mr.. Ford was still alive.

Ono Passenger Dying.
ST. PAUL, Jan. S.-The accident on the
Sauk Center & Northern Railroad yester-
day occurred at q point about half way
between Sank Center and Long Prairie.
The rear coach Of q passenger train left

up in promiscuous heap,
Mary Wiser, young woman, fell on the
stove and her dress caught FIRE. Before
the flames could be extinguished all her
clothes had burned her body Was horribly
scorched and blistered. She will probably
die. Guy rice, Q messenger, suffered q
broken ankle, and several other passen-
gers were severely bruised.
II the accident had occurred half q min
ute sooner the entire train would have
been precipitated eighty feet from treE-
tie work into q deep chRsm, and tho loss
OF life would have been great.

Lamar will bscommlssioned, and that, too,
by Coodly numbsr Of Republican votes.
"With the solid Democratic phalanx at
his back, said the Judge, "he only lacks
two votes Of confirmation, and as Sem

clared that they would vote for him, his
confirmation Is assured. In addition,

THE READING STRIKE.
Both Sides Dotormined-Ths Company Not
Uneasy.


PHILADELPHIA, Jan. .3-The grestrailroad
strike is still on, and 1t is characterized by
some determination Of both sides to stand
firm that has marked 1t from beginning.
The company says that is overwhelmed
with application from laborsrs in search
OF employment and that they have
enough men In reserve to fill any number
Of vacancies that can possibly occur. 1t
is said that 1900 Schuylkil miners are
idle to-day. Il Is impossible to tell the
exact number Of Reading employees who
have quit work.
At Front and Noble streets o.day the
work Of receiving and delivering freight
progressed the same as usual. The off,
cials In charge reported nearly every man
who was at work on Saturday ct his post
and doing his work quietly and well, and
those few who did not report Tor duty had
their positions Immediately filed, a. the
host OF applicants for positions outnum'
bered the vacancies two to one. At Port
Richmond everything remains with little
or no change. Although the stock Of coal
on hand on the Reading Company's Port
Rtchuond dock is almost exhausted, the
agents Of the company are firm in their
expression Of the belief that there Is no
danger Of coal famine.
The retail coal dealers in this city have
already begun to take advantage Of the
present aituation by advancing tho price
Of coal. Several ETns to-day raised the
price Of stone and large nut coal to 81 per
ion.

sun ou-othsr Labor Matters.

PorTsVrLIE, Pa, Jan. 3.-Advices re-
Ceived to-day from q number Of points in
the cosl regions show that very few col.
lisries are working. In most cases the
employees did not go to work this morning,
and it is believed a long and bitter struggle
will be the result. The North Ashland
colliery, operated by the Philadelphia q
Reading Company, has few hands at
work to-day. The Reading collieries at
shsmokin and between Ashland and that
place are also ide. The railroad is work
ing smoothly, and little difficulty is ex-
perienced in moving freight and coal. All
the engines on the Mahoney division are
now manned and worked. Atshensndosh
all the Reading railroad miners are out.
Three collieries near Mahoney City have
decided to pay the present rate Of wages
and continue work pending tho final Get
tlement Of the Reading Company.
The number Of miners out in this re-
gion is estimated st from 25,000 to 10000
The joint committee Of the Amalga-
mated Association and Knights Of Labor
met in this city to-day and promulgated q
coUSTER STATEMENT
to that issued by President Corbin, Of the
Reading road, q few days ego. They DO.
clare that the agreement for four months
from last September, as signed, differs
materially from the one made public.
They point out that Mr.. Corbin
said In his circular that Reading would
never pay less than other companies, and
say that already eleven companies have
already conceded their demsnds. The
manifesto declares that the die is cast and
that general etrike ct all the ftty.fve

cedinR the eight per cent advance, will be
insugurated tomorrow morning.

the tyranny OF the Bourbons, stating that
from that moment Mr.. Gladstone had
become enshrined in every Italian heart
and in the memory Of eyery European
democrat.
The address concluded with these stir
ring words: 1.-THE elorious work Ia not
vet finished. But It will be worthily
crowned when the measure Of hons rale
for Ireland, which is desired by all the
Liberals Of the new generation, becomes

Mr.. Gladstone, in reply, said thst he
had come 10 Italy for rest and quiet, but
that he was much touched by the sympa-
thy ofths Italian democracy. He aesurod
them Of his love for Italy, and said that he
always desired to be useful to their
