Opposed to colored switchmen.

For some years the Houston &
Texas Central railway has employed ne
gro switchmen in its yards. About two
week ago demand was made for their re-
Inoval, the places 10 be filed by whites.
The demand was refused. The foremen
all struck. Grand Master Wilkinson was
sent for and has been in the city two days
trying TO adjust the matter amicably, but
without avail, as the officials of the Cen
tral are firm in their position, arguing
that il the colored men are good enough to
sit in the council of the Knights of Labor
they should be good enough to work with.
Grand Master Wilkinson has wired to all
the members OF the executive council
which recently met in indianapolis to
come to Houston at once, and the impress
sion seems general that big strike isnim-
minent. The Southern Pacific may also
be involved, as bJth roads are in the
Huntington system. Merchants are So
ucitous about the result, as a strike in the
busiest season ever known in Texas would
involve heavy losses, particularly on COT
ton shipments. All the federated railway
orders except the engineers and Order Of
Railway Conductors have held meetings
and indorse the demands OF the Central
men.

Yew Mexico's Constitution.

SANTA FE, n. NJ. Oct. s.-Meagre
returns from yesterdays special election
for the adoption or rejection of the state
constitution shows that the statehood
movement has been pretty efectuaIly
downed. The best estimate gives some
1900 majority against the constitution
throughout the territory. On the whole
however, and considering tie Influences
at work and methods adopted by the op
position, the vote is sufficient to make a
very cheerful showing for the cause Of
progress.
As for the part taken in this defeat by d
good many members of the Roman Cath
olic clergy, they now say they took an en-
tirely non~political view of it, working
against it simply because they considered
it best for the people as a whole thas Mes,

They Want to be Mormons.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-1he authori-

an immense amount OF moral persuasion

becoming proseivtes to the Mormon faith.
The girls wero separated from the other
passengers as they landed and placed in a
room by themselves Three female mis-
sionaries from the Emigrant Girls Home

them of the folly Of the course they pro-
posed TO follow. One of the girls, Karen
Sylvestereen by name, who acted as
spokeswoman for the party, frankly ac-

To SAY that any agent of death and
havoc Is too destructive to be used in
war seems like paradoxical assertion,
but it is apparently true of dynamite.
That lively explosive refuses to submit
to any regulations that might make it
available to warfare. To be useful in
that direction it must be thrown in
some other form than that OF the ordi-
nary hand grenade, and dynamite gun
has long been the dream of inventors.
But no gun strong enough to hold dy-
Mantle has yet been produced. Every
experiment with dynamite guns so far
has had the same result-the explosion n
of the gun.

The death OF man near Syracuse
from the sting OF a bee is regarded by
physicians as one OF the most remark
able cases on record. He was stung
on the nose by an ordinary honey bee,
from one of his own hives, and died
within ten minutes. The sting of bee
appears to have previously affected
him in most singular manner.
Thirty-two years ago ne nearly died

IT is said that one of the latest pro-

cans is an artificial eye made OF
celluloid. Imagine the effect If this
eye were to flash fire, as all the novel

CoNsUMPTIoN--Dr. Samuel G. Dixon,
Professor of Hygiene in the University oi
Pennsylvania, who has been conducting o
long series of experiments bearing upon
consumption and its prevention, has reach
ed some interesting results which do much
to explain many mysterious phases of that
iusidious disease. tuberculosis, as it is
known, is not confined 10 man, but s com.
mon among the lower animals, the cow
horse, sheep, pig, rabbit and chicken among
others, and as these are largely used for
food by man the doctors experiments have
been directed to ascertaning whether or
not human beings can contract consump-
ton by partsking of meat from animals snf'
fering from tuberculosis or of milk from
COWS with tuberculosis Of the mammary
glands.
The result of several hundred expert.
ments conducted at the laboratory of the
University OF Pennsylvania leaves no room
for doubt that consumption can be, and be-
yond question very often is, contracted by
eating tubercu!ous meats. It was found
that calves snd pigs fed on milk infected
with tubercuous material from human
source contracted consumption, and the
converse would seem probable.
