SITUATION AT PHILADELPHIA,

The Strikers Firm and the Bosses Slowly
Giving Way.
PHILADELPHIA, May. 3.-The third day
of the carpenters strike finds more
bosses willing to grant the demands of
the workmen. 1t was big victory for
the strikers when the jouruemen brick
layers came into line and issued orders
that none of it's member should set the
door or window frames on any Job of
which the boss had refused to pay tho
advanced rate.
There are nearly 1000 carpenters in
the city, and nearly all Of them are
identified with three organizations.
About three {, 200 men are out.

CHICAGO, May 8.-Ths labor situation
here has grown to an alarming pro-

helpers in most of tho large manufac-

Guiding the Mccormick Harvesting
Machine Works on tho "Black Road" the
scene of so much turbulence and riotin 9
four years ago, who went out on strike
for the eight-hour day and q uniform
rate of wages, yesterday, have made no
effort as yet to procure . meeting with
the employers. About noon q number
of non-union molders who were being
conveyed in . wagon to Mccormick
Harvester Works were attacked by strtk-
ers at Blue Island avenue and BID street.
The windows of the buss were broken
and several Of of the occupants were
more or less injured.
The men employed at the Goodwillie
box factory struck for eight hours and
their demands were acceded to.
The men at the Cooper Lumber Com
pany's yards were also victorious. The
arm agreed to grant the eight hour day.
Four hundred men employed by
Demma & Durkas furniture factory
struck for eight hours.
Seven hundred men employed by the
Chicago Cottage Organ Company are
also affected by the strike fever and re-
fuse to work until granted the eight
hour day.
Trouble is brewing in the lumber
yards. and the prospect is that unless
granted eight hours and more pay the
lumber sh thousand men
will quit work.
All of the factories and shops along
the Black Road are closed to-day and
business on that celebrated thorough
fare is at a complete standstill.
So many of the employees at tho Nc
Cormick factory quit work that it was
found impossible to keep the works
running, and the steam was shut off.
The works will not be started again I'M
til the troubles with the men have been
adjusted. There is no change in the
carpenters strike.

DEATH OF MARY L. HOBERT
She Passes Away After Six Months Suf.
fering

Mary L. Hobert died at midnight
Tuesday after an illness dating back
to the last week in December. At
that time she was seized with an az
tack of the grippe which afterward
turned into consumption. This dis
ease of over five months standing play
ed havoc with the body and finally
caused death. A peaceful sleep and
death.
That is the way the Great Spirit re-
leved the frail body from all earthly
care and suffering and took the soul to
its home in heaven.
She was p years old last October,
and was the eldest child of DR.. f. 5.
HObert, of Spring Valley. Three
brothers and two sisters survive her.
DR.. +. V. HObert is halfbrother.
She was born and raised in Ottawa,
and attended the Ottawa high school
severalyearS. A few years ago she COM
menced work as teacher and was en-
ployed in different schools throughout
the county.
The young friends of Miss Hobert
who were expecting for some time her
death, will nevertheless receive the
announcement of the end with more
than a passing grief Hers was rare
sweetness of disposition which endear-
ed her tOall who became well acquaint-
ed with her. Vivacious, good natured,
even tempered, she made friends
quickly and held them. She was also
bright student, ambitious, intensely
industriOus-OneOf thOSeyOung women
who without being blue stocking
aimed to make her way in the world.
In all church work she took deep in
terest, and was a consistent and de-
vout communicate, and in both church
and Sunday school her absence will be
long noted. 'Tis pity the end came
so soon: but those who were nearest
and dearest to her are content in the
belief that ''after life's ftful fever"
she is at rest.

A HcHSE'S PHENOMENAL DEED.
He Canters Fifteen Miles without Chang.
Ing His Feet.

He Canters Fifteen Miles without Chang
Ing His Feet.
There was an unusually large attend
ance at Audubon park, the attraction
being a novel race in which q man and
horse were contending on pretty near
ly even terms. Mariana Bielsa had
agreed to run fifteen miles against any
horse that should be pitted against him
under these conditions:
The Spaniard offered a prize Of 500
for any horse that would walk, run, trot,
pace, rack or lope fifteen miles under
saddle in less time than he would run
the same distance; but it was in the
agreement that the horse should adopt a
certain gait at the start and not ex-
change it for another in any part Of the
race, and it was through this part Of the
contract that the element of uncertainty
was introduced into the contest.
Everybody knew that anything Of a
fair saddle horse could cover fifteen miles
in less time than it would take man to
run the same distance, but the prevail
ing impression appeared to be that no
horse could be found that could be made
to lope, trot, gallop, pace or rack fifteen
miles without changing its gait.
The horse selected for the contest was
substantial looking black gelding Of
good size and substance, and having q
fair share of quality, though he was not
handsome horse. He was ridden by
his owner, Mr.. R. L. Harvey, who, with
the big Mexican saddle he used, must
have made up an impOst Of fully 1850
pounds.
1t was announced that the horse would
slope" (canter), and it was understood
that, while he might shift his feet as
often as he chose, he would lose the race
if he trotted even half a length. Before
the start the man was the favorite, as it
was expected that tie horse would drop
into trot when shifting his lead from
left to right, or from right to left. while
no one appeared to contemplate the pos
sibility of the horses accomplishing the
whole distance without once changing
his feet.
It was nearly 5 o'clock when the con-
testants made their appearance. The
Spaniard was very gayly attired in flesh
colored silk tights, white kid slippers
trimmed with scarlet, scarlet silk
handkerchief on his head, cream col
ored undershirt of silk net, and beauti-
fully embroidered trunks and collarette
of blue silk.
Starting little back of the mark, they
moved up and took the word together,
the man at the pole on long swinging
trot and the horse about the middle Of
the track on a slow canter. The horse
Immediately took the lead, and he con-
tinued to draw steadily away for the
whole distance till he had completed the
fifteen miles without having once as
much as shifted his feet for the purpose
of changing his lead), and was more than
five miles ahead Of Bielsa.
AS will be seen by the time OF each
mile, Mr.. Harvey rated his horse admir-
ably from first to last, and at the conclu-
sion of the race he was warmly congrat-
ulated by hosts of admiring friends. The
following table will give an accurate
picture of the performance:
