New Hands.


CHICAGO, Jan. LIN regard to the ril-
NOR that the strike OF the engineers Of the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy road had
bee settled, Second Vice President Stone
said that yesterdays conference between
the officials of the road and the Brotherhood
adjourned till Wednesday, which is evil
dence that a conclusion has not been
reached. The company, no said, would not
recede in the slightest degree from its pres
ent position. Not one man Of the new en-
gineers, fremen, Switchmen or bTakemen
would be discharged TO make room for
strikers. the cImpany did not desire to
persecute the striking men, but justice
must be done to the new men.

"You may say tnat the present commit

IAN EERIE HE AND SHE"

IAN Eerle He and She " is the name of the
new novel by Alan Dale, just issued by G. w.
Dillingham;. of this city. The book, which is
written in the first pei son in a lightly CONVERSE
tional tone, tells a pathetic story in u touching
and delicate manner. The opening chapters
are decidedly original and the situations strong.
The interest is maintained to the end. The
strange meeting of the hero and heroine in Q
vanlt, unable to see each other and absolutely
unacquainted, gives rise to unusual develop
mcnts that are continued in the following chap
tiers.
There are several amusing comedy characters
in IAN Eerie He and She, =" in particular that
known as Scottie. the actor. and the little lady
called DOTS.
Alan Dale may be accused Il of parodying some
of New York's dearest society folks. The sketches
of Ms. Glareton Reeves, Mr.. Thackery Tintop.
Miss Cclestia Taileure are, perhaps, not veilsd
in as much obscurity as they might have been.
but the characters are all living, breathing
beings, and not the automata with which many
OF the novels OF to-day are filed.
The story of Amy Winsomerton's life is
handled very delicately, and it has evidently
been the intention of the author throughout to
steer clear of everything that might cause any
of the censure which "A Marriage Below Zero"
brought down upon his head. =. s. O.

RUM-INsPIRED

Prominent in the accounts of recent voy-
ages aud alleged voyages over Niagara Falls
and through the rapids has been the part that
alcohol has played. Every fellow, about, had
q g jag on. The story of WALTER CAMPBELL,
who yesterday traversed the rapids, shows
that his sole Notifications for the task were a
cork lifo-preserver and a generous admodi-
cum of rum. Now that thisf fact is 80 plainly
set forth, persons inclined TO laud and de-
fend the Niagara ~plungers as men of marvel
lous courage, must relegate the exploits about
the Falls to the sphere of drunken folly.
The only question in doubt. however. is
whether the insanity of the man who tackles
Niagara at any OF its stages is natural or in
spired by drink. Insane he certainly is. The
truest bravery is that which is dominated by
caution and saves itself for an emergency
where some real benefit to some one is to
accrue from its exercise. The passage of
Niagara or its rapids out of mere bravado
does no good to any living being. 1t is q
prostitution of pluck.

Hamilton married the woman, but she upset

WHERE THE DANGER LIES,

There is one phase of the great strike in
London which isapt to be of more danger than
was the strike itself, apt to foment immeas-
urable turbulence. and may be bring abou
momentous and permanent changes in the
social conditions of Great Britain.
1t was al example fraught with dire posi-
bilities. 1t has offered a lesson which the
English w%orkingman will not be slow to
apprehend.
1t is as when the lion learns his strength.
Watch with dread, ye of England, for the
day when he shall rise up and shake his
name. There is nc call for extremes. work
men, and no profit in them. The labor
problem is to solve itself gradually, not In q
CONFUSION. The English ~workingman must
use sense in the coming ten years. 1t may
be as crucial a period as that which gave
birth to Magma Charta.
