Then he lost all interest in the slaves
and became an ardent vegetarian, who
tormen.ed all his friends and acquaint-
ances by appealing to them to give up
meat and live with him on fruits and
vegetables. This hobby lasted but a
year, when he took up the cause of
woman suffrage, and quarrelled with
every one who did not agree with him.
Since that he has been, by turns, a
leader among the Spiritualists and the
Theosophists, and is now-for the mo-
ment-a vehement Ritualist.
He is good, sincere, well-meaning
man, anxious to find the truth and to
draw all men with him to find it.
But he draws them with such vehem-
ence that his friends avoid him in
terror.
A rational man does not object to be
pulled by a steam-engine, provided he
is pulled in one direction and that the
right one But hewill not consent to be
jerked hither and thither as by the
vagaries of restless wind.
John Snowden's temperament and
habit of thought are very common in
the world. The life and usefulness OF
many a strong, conscientious man have
been paralyzed by them.
If any of our boy-readers find that
they are already inclined to mount a
hobby and ride it rough-shod over
other people, let them take warning. 1t
will not be possible, perhaps, for them
to curb or cool their zeal. Let them
indulge it, remembering, however, that
their brothers and classmates have a
right to hobbies of their own, and
should not be forced to mount behind
theirs.
When their zeal begins to flag, too.
let them spur it and force it to continue
in the same path. The man who is ar
dent in the pursuit of one object is sue
cessful. The man who is jealous in the
pursuit of a dozen soon ranks as a
feather-headed fool among other men.

A Large Strike.

With two exceptions every line of street
cars in New York city was tied up on the
29th. When the last trip was made Mon
day night each car was run into the stable.
and at n. IN. the great strike commenced.
The only lines running were Third avenue
and Bleecker street short lines and the
Twenty third street, Fourteenth street and
Christopher street. The total number of
men affected by the strike is about 1000.
New York police made every effort to pro-
tect the lines which attempted to put on
new men. but the Brooklyn lines were
offered no protection, and made n % attempt
to run cars. The efforts of the New York
lines to man the cars in place of the strik-
ers met with but indifferent success, oc-
casioning several collisions Of strikers and
police. in which the crowds were each time
dispersed with sore heads, but no fatalities
occurred. The car companies refused to
arbitrate the questions at issue. New York
business has been seriously interfered with
by the tie up.
Many lines were able on Thursday to
start their cars under police protection.
More men applied for positions than could
be put to work. A significant expression
was copied from Inspector Williams in
structions to his men. He said: If the
crowd uses clubs you use your pistols.
Have no nonsense about it. / want no
play, no foolishness. If necessary, use
your pistols, and use them we'll. Shoot to
kill 1t looks probable that the strikers
will lose. They seem too few to cope with
the companies ard the constituted author
tiles thus united.

The brief telegraphic announcement on
January 3Oth to the effect tha: the Arch
duke Rudolf, the Austrian Crown Prince
and heir apparent to the throne, had died
suddenly that day at Mierling. near Baden,
an Austrian town twelves miles from vi
emma, from an apoplectic stroke, was fol-
lowed on the first by particulars showing
that Prince Rudolf died by his own hand.

hand OF the dead prince. The position in
which it was found proved beyond doubt
that the crown prince committed suicide.
The report OF a revolver was heard by no
one, the attandants having left the house
to make preparations for hunting eX-
cursion. Several members of the crown
princes household state that during the
last few weeks the crown prince had man
ifested signs of morbid nervous excite
ment, and therefore. the Weiner Zciiung
SAYS, the view that the shooting was the
result of temporary mental arrangement
must be adhered to. Some time previous
to his death the crown prince complained
OF headaches, which We're attributed to an
injury to the head which he sustained by
a fall from horse last autumn. The Pau
Mall Gazette, however. says it Is privately
informed from Vienna that Crown Prince
Rudolf committed suicide because it was
optional with him TO take his own life or
fight duel with the brother of princess.
who is a member of one of the highest
Austrian families. and whom he had se-
duced. When concealment was no longer
possible, the princess confessed her shame
to her brother, who gave Rudolf the al
tentative of committing suicide or fighting
duel. The Gazette further says that the
doctors who were summoned refused to
sign certificate to the effect that Rudolf's
death was due to apoplexy, and that a
scene ensued. One of the doctors told the
Neue Freie Presse the real facts, which
that paper published.

The French situation.

The secret inquiries ordered by Nj. Flo
quet into the organization of the patriotic
league have resulted in some discoveries,
saws special dispatch of the 3D. 1t is
found that the league has arsenals well
supplied and is ready to equip with arms
100000 men. These arms are hidden un-
der cover of gymnastic societies and rifle
associations, which have hereto ofore passed
for what they seemed. II is learned that
at short notice the Boulangists could mo-
bilize powerful nucleus Of revolution
airy army, not only well drilled in them
selves, but en- rapport with the regulars and
equal to any emergency. This discovery
greatly strengthens the position of the re-
publicans, who are now insisting on the
adoption of strong measures against Bon-
iangism. The generals letters to Paul
Deronlede are a strong card IN the pre-
mier's hands. Boulanger writes to De
roulede thanking him for the assistance of
the league and for the important part
played by it in the electoral
campaign. He says that the men,
bers of the league rendered them
selves worthy Of the admiration of the cit
izens by the perfect order with which they
insured the regular working of their oper-
ations throughout the different sections
of Paris. The phrases of this letter are
suggestive of military rather than an cleo
toral warfare, and it strongly supports the
rumor that Boulanger is only waiting for
good opportunity in order to attempt a
coup d'etat. The government is making
the most of these damaging evidences
against Boulanger's patriotism, and the
effect may be serious blow to his iniu-
ence-and it may not. The rabble may
like him the better for it.

The GREAT ''STRIKE WARS"
Statistics of 1883 Show n Decided Failing
Or in the Number Of Err, ployes ANsctedl

Statistics of 1883 Show . Decided Failing
or in the Number Of Employees Affected.
During 1883 there were reported to
Bradstreefs 6T9 strikes and lockouts, an
average IT more than two each working
day, involving 2ll.s4l industrial en-
ployes, as against sSi strikes and lockouts
an average of nearly three each working
day, involving H5, ,5s4 employees, in 1887,
and $50 strikes and lockout., ,nvolv-
ing 44S,ao0 employees, in 1856. These
figures would seem 10 show that the high
est point of the so-calied strike wave"
was reached in 1886, and that since that
time the decline in the number Of en-
ployes involved, at least, has been steady
and of considerable volume, Tho dc.
cline in the ntimber Of men involved in
strikes In 1883 from the totals Of 1886 was
236, ,359, or over 81 per cent, while the de-
cline last year from the figures of 1857 was
1H,0l3, or 3s per cent. Comparing the
number Of strikes reported In 1855 with
those of 1856 S79 against $50, there is
apparently an increase Of "a per cent. in
two wears
