protection Of German settlements which

CasiOn more than fifty German soldiers
and officers were killed and wounded.
We shall carry on the
contest which has been, forced upon us

American interests. Our military meas

New YoRK, Jan. SO,-The situation
in this city so far as the street car Tie
up is concerned remains in practically
about the same condition as yesterday
People accustomed to take the Twenty
third street CrOss.towu cars had to fool
it this morning, Tho neighborhood ol
the Sixth avenue car stables was desert

Matters were quiet around the stables
of the Broadway and Seventh Avenue
Railroad Company this morning, The
strikers stood in knots on the corner,
but were very orderly,
A notice was posted in the Office win
dow stating that employees who did not
report for duty before noon to-day would
be considered discharged, and those who
returned 10 work would be fully pro-
tCCted in tho discharge OF thOir duties,
1t was not known when this company
would start Il car. The strikers appear
to be very well posted regarding the sit
uatiOn throughout the city.

productive, hut in his third year, however,
the cloud lifted and he began to develop
speed.
With brushes and clothes and sponges
came the stable boy, not too long after day
light. A thorough cleansing of the mouth
began the lads work, and then came
grooming of the most exhaustive character.
This is no nominal operation in racing
stable. While he is at work the boy keeps
up a continuous murmur, of which some
conception is given when it is stated that II
is like the last half of the word ''hush" in
definitely protracted Cloth and brush
finally make the steed's coat look like
satin. If it could take the high polish of
mirror, the boy would never stop until he
could see perfect reflection of his own face
in the horses glistening sides. Then some
thing resembling a net, intended more for
the discouragement of flies than ANYTHING
else, is thrown over the horse. In the
meantime the grooming has promoted
a vigorous circulation of the blood, and
when the horse has had half an hours
walk without rider, be is fully ready to
respond to the persuasions of jockey. The
scene is then transferred to the track. a
limbering up gallop, as leisurely as gallop
can be, is INDUCED in, and all is ready for
the final trial of the day. A touch starts
the horse into full activity. He is not COM
pletelv aroused until a few strides Will send
him flying past the first turning post. Then
Mclaughlin, whose grip of the reins has
been straining the muscles of the wrist, gives
him his head. The effect is instantaneous.

THE OLD CLOTHES BUSINESS.
One Engaged in it Tells of His Methods and
His Gains and Losses.

"My business puzzles everybody out of it
and nobody in it" said an old clothes
buyer to a Globe-Democrat reporter. IT buy
my clothes in st. Louis brighten them up
here and sell them in towns in Texas. I
make most my money at the beginning of
the winter and spring. have friends among
servants in boarding houses, and get most
of my clothes there. Alter I have visited
the room of one young man in a house and
bought the suit he is about to cast off am
pretty sure to get all the clothes of the other
fellows there. do no shop business at all.
Waiting for people to call on me is too
slow. spend most of my time walking
around the residence streets and finding out
new places where a number of young men
live.
81 pay about 10 per cent on the first cost
of tailor-made suit that is whole and about
four months worn, and after little fixing
up sell it for over so per cent of the cost
to men in the Southwest who don't care for
the style of garment so the fit is good and
the cloth is pretty. Overcoats rarely buy
they are too cheap, and young men don't
like to sell a good oyercoat outright. If
they get hard up, they prefer to pawn it.
It's perfectly safe business, and as / can
turn over my money about three times a
year, really get compound interest out
of it."

sleep comes over the body, they all take

BETTER sTEAMBoAFs WANTED.
Little Improvement in River Craft During
the Last so Years

st. Louis Globe-Democrat-l
It is high time someone should study out
some radical improvement or innovation in
the construction of steamboats, The boats
that are being built now are nearly Of the
same form, have the same style of machinery
and are furnished very much in the same
style as the boats of 40 or 80 years ago. Vast
improvements have been made in railroad
cars and equipments. and in all other ma
ehinery that comes in general use, but in
the line of steamboats, the old plans and sp-
purtenances are still adhered to. It is said
that the steamboat business Of the Missis-
sippi Valley is playing out, and it is true
that the best-managed lines Of boats are not
making any money, while many Of them are
operating at loss. 8
think that the ancient plans Of building
steamboats, are susceptible Of being i'm
proved upon the same as other means OF
locomotion, and ifimproved to the same ex-
tent the business might still be made profit
able. There are numerous towns and
sections of the country along the rivers still
largely dependent upon the river for trans
portation Of produce and supplies. The
tendency nowadays is to build steamboats,
too large. Large boats are more expensive
to operate than smaller boats, are Of slower
speed, and in the event of low water are
useless.

WHY THE LEAVES TURN.
Explanation of the Causes of the Red and
Golden Glory of Autumn.

Golden Glory Of Autumn.
Field and Forest.l
Probably not one person in thousand
knows why leaves change their color in the
fall, remarked an eminent botanist the
other day. 1.-THE common and old-fashioned
idea is that all this red and golden glory we
see now is caused by trosts. A true and
scientific explanation of the causes of
the coloring of leaves would neces-
state long and intricate discus
sion. Stated briefly and in proper
language, those causes are these: The green
matter in the tissue of leaf is composed Of
two colors, red and blue. When the sap
ceases to flow in the fall and the natural
growth of the tree ceases oxidation of the
tissue takes place. Under certain condi-
tions the green of the leaf changes to red,
under different conditions it takes on a vel
low or brown tint. The difference in color
is due to the difference in combination of
the original constituents of the green tissue
and to the varying conditions OF climate,
exposure and soil. A dry, cold climate
produces more brilliant foliage than one
that is damp and warm. This is the reason
that our American autumns are so much
more gorgeous than those of England.
"There are several things about leaves
that even science cannot explain. For in
stance, why one OF two trees growing side by
side, of the same age and having the same
exposure, should take on brilliant red in
the fall and the other should turn yellow;
or why one branch of tree should be
highly colored and the rest of the tree have
only yellow tint, are questions that are as
to answer as why one member of
a family should be perfectly healthy and
another sickly. Naples and oaks have the
brightest colors."

A JURY FOUND IN TEN MINUTES.
Vexatious Delays and Challenges Almost
Unknown In the English Courts.
English LAWYER in Globe Democrat

English Lawyer in Globe-Demoerst.
In one respect England is ahead Of
America in Criminal Court procedure I
refer to the selection of juries, and the
Cronin case is good instance Of the trouble
which results from the abuse Of the chal-
lenging privilege. attended courts in
London and the assize towns pretty regu-
larly for nearly 20 years, and can only re-
member one case in which it took more than
ten minutes to secure q jury. Then there
were only nine jurors in attendance, and
the Judge, Baron Bramwell, fined the ab.
sentees $3.50 each, and while he was having
the fines recorded the Sheriff secured three
substitutes. Such thing as challenging
juror is almost unheard of.
Once I remember man charged with
shoplitting protested against the brother Of
the prosecutor serving on the jury. His
protest was overruled, the trial proceeded,
and the verdict was "not guilty" One
reason why juries are so easily obtained, is
that papers never comment on cases that are
sub judice; they may report facts, but if
they express an opinion as to the guilt or
innocence of person under arrest, the pub
lishersemay be fined for contempt Of court.
OF late years, however, greater latitude has
been allowed, and comment frequently
passes unchallenged.

evidence of the trouble was slight enlarge
ment of the hoo. Hanover was entirely re-
lieved by the operation so far as the pain
was concerned, but his almost unchallenged
supremacy was gone. He is liable to break
down at any time"
Ifthe gallant 5-year-old never wins another
race he will leave little behind to find fault
with. His earnings aggregate over $780,
600. and for stud purposes S25, 600 has
already been offered for him. 1t is not easy
to figure up just how much he has cost the
Dwyers. In the list of expenses must, of
course, be included the pay of the iockey
riding him, but McLaughIin's salary was
by the year, and rough estimates alone can
be made. The calculation, however, is in
teresting:

A STAMPEDE OF EELS.

Some of Them Traversed 500 Feet on Dry
Land in a Panic.
Youths Companion.1
1t was once my good fortune to witness a
stampede of eels. A certain pond on the
Maine coast was fed BY brook, but at high
water the ocean flowed in, SO that it might
be said to be salt at high tide, and fresh or
brackish at low tide.
The conditions seemed to be particularly
fayorable for the propagation of eels, and
the muddy bottom was fairly alive with
them, many of them of large size. AS the
tide ebbed many cells went into salt water.
One evening 1 had occasion 10 cross the
creek with friend just at nightlall. The
little brook had dwindled down to a mere
stream, foot or so wide, and as we stepped
over, il was seen to be black with eels. NY
companion inadvertently stepped in among
them, and at the instant the living river
broke and a remarkable stampede oc-
Cured.
Hundreds of forms, ranging from two to
three or more feet in length, broke away
and dashed over the dry but slippery beach,
covering it in every direction with q wrig-
Cling mass of eel life. The terrified ami
mails dashed up toward the shore and in
every direction, though ultimately turning
and making for the distant water. Some Of
them traversed, to reach it, over 800 feet of
dry land.

He drew the trusty servitor OF Tristan less

PUBLISHING DEAD BEATS.


Non-PaJing Customers
Chicago Herald.1
Sam Brown, the Dearborn street .cloihisr
and gents furnisher, created sensation
yesterday. He suspended in his show win
dow pair of plaid pants and decorated
them with many placards. One Of them
read like this: "Why do the newspapers
not jump on the dead beats as they do on the
gamblers?" A business card was pinned
on each leg. One card was that Of s<rea1
estate man and the other that Of . brokH.
On the real estate mans leg was legend
reading: This man ordered this pair OF
pants and never called for them
On the brokers' leg was this: "This man
received similar pair Of pants and got
away with the DOODLE" Another placard
read: publish the dead beats for the
benefit of the other tailors," or something
to the same effect. All day long this dis
play attracted the attention OF passers-by,
and at no time were there less than dozen
people out in front studying the placards.
Many and varied were the comments Of
the crowd on Mr.. Browns method of sham
ing people into a settlements, out there was
one universal verdict, and that was; Any
man who would contract for pair Of pants
of such pattern ought certainly to be
published. The plaid employed in the
design of the cloth could be heard two
blocks away.

HOW Detroit Young Man succeeded In
Making Himself Ridiculous.
Detroit Free Press.l
There is one young man in Detroit who
will think twice before he speaks after this.
He had been invited to visit at house
where there was family OF II children
whose parents were very proud OF such
goodly number. A lady-a mutual friend
had desired him to meet a young lady in
the family, the sister of the matron who
possessed the dozen olive branches. She did
not, however, state this fact to the young
man, but invited him to make the call osten-
sibly upon the mistress of the house, who
was her relative. In speaking of her the
lady mentioned the fact that she looked
very youthful for her age.
When they made their call the Young
lady relative was in the parlor. Before she
could be introduced the young man bowed
low to her.
"Have at last the pleasure" he said
airily. "of meeting the mother of 12 chill
dren?" For a moment the young lady was
somewhat mbarrassed-then she laughed,
but the young man did not STAY long. He
was afraid to trust himself to speak again
that evening.

C0RIOSITIES OF SILK SPINNING.
Many Varieties of Indian Insects That Pro-
duce Valuable Cocoons.


duce Valuable Cocoons.
From long account that appears in the
Indus!rie TEXTILE of the treatment OF wild
silks Chat is, those which are furnished by
silkworms other than those of the domesti-
Gated Bombyx mori) in their native coun-
tries; it appears that in India there are no
less than 80 varieties of bearing insects,
the most important of which is called
tussur, that is ''the weaver's shuttle" The
caterpillar, like the moth, is of a great size,
and feeds upon more than 80 species of plants.
The cocoons of the tussur, which make
their appearance twice in the year, are
found attached to the branches Of trees in
the jungle in large oval masses. The cater
pillar lives from 80 to 40 days, and then
weayes its cocoon. In four or six weeks
from this time the moth comes out and lays
eggs, from which comes second generation
of caterpillars. These wrap themselves in
the cocoon and remain hanging to the trees
throughout the rainy season-that is, for
seven or eight months. The cocoon, which
is about four times the size of that of the
mulberry silkworm, is composed of
double and interrupted thread OF about
l, 400 meters in length.
The thread is impregnated with uric acid
of sodium, which must be removed BY the
aid of an alkaline wash before the thread is
unwound. The tussur is tended with great
care; in fact. for centuries various religious
usages have been employed in rearing it.
The moth, which is large insect of
brownish color, having its wings beautifed
by four transparent eyes, is venerated, and
may be only approached by people of GER
tain caste. Unlike the tussur, which has
been domesticated in India for some thou
sands of years, the cocoons of the other
species are collected in the jungle. Among
these is the Attacus cynthea, which
feeds on the castor oil plant, and Of which
the cocoon is white. Other species are the
Antheroea assama and the Cricula trifeu-
eStrd, which lives on the mangrove trees
anG spins cocoon of bright golden color.
The most important Chinese species is the
Antheroea pernys, which is cultivated in the
province of Sze-chuan.
In China also is found the most beautiful
Of all moths, the Attacus atlas, which spins
an enormous cocoon, covered at both ends
with very thick silk, known as Fagara
silk. In Japan are the Ailanthus cater
pillar, and the Yamanai, which till lately
was reserved for the exclusive use OF the
Mikado, and the expectation of the eggs
was an offense punishable with death. At
present attempts are being made to cultivate
this species in France, and it is believed
hey will be successful.
