Cutting or Money for Uso.

A tall, black-whiskercd man was
leaning over the desk ut the Continen al
Hotel last night conyersing with several
friends. Pulling plethoric wallet
from his breast pocket he took there
from long sheet of live-dollar bills,
just as they came from the Treasury
Department. His friend inquired what
they were. "Only advertisements, p"
was the reply. They're given away
now with tea instead OF the usual
chromos.n BY this time there was
quite crowd around the black-whis-
kcred man, eagerly examining the
bills. Some thought they were genuine
bills, while others, who had never seen
bills in this shape before, as there was
nearly yard of them, really thought
they were advertisements, and would
not have bought the whole lot for 1.-Two
cents.
You're all just like the fellow out in
st. Louis. He was a clerk in II store,
and, when had made purchase, l
asked him for a pair OF shears. and
proceeded to cut of bill. You should
have seen the mans eyes. They stood
out so that you could have Knocked
them of with stick. The outcome OF
the matter was that he refused to take
them, just at that minute the proprie-
tor came from the Office, and seeing the
status Of the case, discharged the man,
but, after had explained the case, we
all had good laugh"

TERRIBLE HOLOCAUST.
A Canadian Lunatic Asylum Burnc Il
With From so to 100 Inmates.

A long line Of gaunt towers is all
one now sees OF Tongue Pointc lunatic
asylum, located ten miles from Mon
treal, and which was May 9th consum-
cd by flames. The sights witnessed
before this tragic scene are such as
can never be forgotten. Nothing could
exceed the horror attending the ter
rible calamity, considering the number
OF victims, the terrible nature OF their
death, and the manner in which the
helpless victims received their fate.
What to the spectators was scene OF
horror was TO tie lunatics moment
OF supreme glee, and In their delight
they disportcd themselves in the flames
and waved their blazing limbs in tui-
bulent satisfaction at the ruin that was
tumbled over their heads were their
maniacal screams silenced. There
were incarcerated in Tongue Pointe
thirteen hundred lunatics, for that
asylum was prison more than hos
pital, and now not more than eleven
hundred are accounted for, but many
escaped into the fields and woods and
the dead are ashes amongst ashes.
What is the number of dead is purely
matter of conjecture, and can never
be ascertained, since no other record
is kept than that in tho asylum books,
and they are destroyed. TakiDg,into
consideration the whole OF the evil
dence from the fremeD, half sane in
mates and the sisters in charge, il is
"a conservative estimate TO say hun
dred victims met their death, though
some assert the number is double that,
others place 1t below this figure. How
ever, the fact remains, that no such
calamity has fallen upon the pro"ince
OF Quebec since the earliest times.
The Sisters OF Providence spent in
founding and organizing the sum of
81, 1872, 232, OF which 100000 was
spent on the buildings. The building
was insured by the government for
$500, 900. With the exception OF the
medical department consisting OF doc
tors, the sisters retained complete con-
troll of all departments.
A later dispatch says the death-roll
is estimated at fifty, although many
more are missing. but are expected to
turn up. 1t is feared that seven ter
tiary nuns are burned. They were
not, however seen in the flames and
the sisters prefer not giving out their
names at present.

THE STRIKE IS ON.
Workmen in All Trades Quietly Quit
Work at Chicago.

The hopes engendered in Chicago
by the peaceful passage of labor holt
day without rumors of any trouble TO
come were rudely shattered next day.
The strike fever, it would seem, was
aggravated by the May-day demonstra-
tons, for on the 2nd it broke out with
alarming force and as q result vast
body Of men of various trades struck
work, some for an eight-hour day and
some for more wages. The strikes for
the most part came in totally I'M
expected quarters and the employers
generally were at sea as to what to
look for next. Thousands of union
laborers went to the different shops in
the city that morning, with their din
ner pals, entered the works and
formally demanded from their en-
ployers that the eight-hour day be
observed. The demands of the toilers
we're in nearly all cases refused. At
present the molders in the different
works and the planing-mill men are
cut on a strike and the other laborers
employed at the works and mills have
also been compelled to join the ranks
of the dissatisfied men. In nearly all
OF the shops along the BLACK Road"
the welders and laborers demanded the
eight-hour day and were rafused, and
are now out, and the planning mill men
IN all the mills in the city, being
treated in the same way in the south
western part of the city, also quit. and
the number of men who refused to 90
TO work in Chicago, as near as can be
estimated, is not far from twenty thou

Two stories About Judges.

A good story Is told on Judge French,
OF South Dakota. Some years ago hs
h came Judge Of the Supreme Court,
and was known all over the state by
to name Of "Od Necessity" and this
ti.o was given him because II was said
he knew no law As an illustration
of how apt this appellation was tho
most remarkable decision the Judge
eve rendered is directly to the point.
A case was before him wherein the
prosecution failed to prove It's charges,
The attorney for the defense refused
on that ground TO put in any evidence.
When asked by Judge French If he in.
tended doing so. the lawyer said No"
and then the Judge drew himself up
and said: "Wcll, in that case ] shall
order the jury to convict. II there IL
any one branch Of the law fully I'm.
dcrstaud it Is criminal law, aud II man
is innocent he has got to prove him
self so
Another good story from the samO
section Is on Judge Gideon &. Moody,
recently elected United States Senator
from South Dakota. When he was
some years ago Associate Justice OF the
Supreme Court. u noted horse thief,
known as Light Fingered Harry" was
up before him on a charge of stealinga
horse. The trial was n long one, and
Harry got long term in prison. In
sentencing the prisoner Judge Moody
scored the thief in u most unmcrciful
manner, aud closed by asking the usual
question il he had anything to say.
Harry looked his denounccr in the eye
for moment, and then said in an even.
cold tone: Judge. | wouldn't have
that temper of yours for the best hors

LABOR DEMONSTRATION.
Nearly Thirty-five Thousand Men in
the Parade at Chicago.

The greatest labor demonstration
ever witnessed in Chicago closed its
ranks at 1890 o'clock on the afternoon
of May LIST, and in solid lines nearly
thirty-fve thousand men marched to
the notes Of music furnished by nu-
merous bands. At the hour named
the procession started from Monroe
and Peoria streets and marched east.
The United Brotherhood of carpenters
headed the procession. The Carpen-
ters' union No. l and the Amalgamat-
ed Carpenters and Joiners followed,
and these with X. of L. carpenter as
semblies formed line of about five
thousand carpenters. Following these
came the United Order of American
bricklayers and stone masons-about
5000. Then in order came coal UNI
leaders, cloakmakers. woodworkers
unions, fathers, turner's organizations,
about 1900 strong; metal cornicemak-
ers, iron moulders, metal workers, ty-
biographical union, woodcarvers and
turner's, Bohemian wood machine
workers, n. X. Fairbanks employees,
paper hangers, cloak and pants makers,
tailors, German typographical union
boiler makers, gas filters, box makers,
sawyers, harness makers and many
others. Banners, flags and notices
were plentifully displayed and the SEN
timents expressed on the mottocs caus-
ed tremendous cheers from the throngs
OF spectators that crowded the line OF
march. Everything moved smoothly
and not the slightest disturbance or
wrangle occurred. The procession
was easily four miles long and most OF
the parades were four abreast and The
ranks were crowded close together.
The strength expected from the
stock yards did not materialize. In
stead OF 10000 men as expected, less
than 1000 appeared in the line. After
parading over the line of march the
procession moved to the lake front
park, where the announcement that
Congressman Frank Lawler, Judges
Tuthill, Pendergast and others would
speak, had drawn an immense crowd.
There were fully %, 600 people on the
ground in addition to those that had
taken part in the parade. Owing TO
some misunderstanding no speakers
stands had been erected in the park
and the carriages bearing the speakers
were therefore driven to different pla-
ces in the park and from the the crowd
was addressed. The orators spoke on
the labor question and from the APP
plause that followed their remarks, it
was evident the multitude was well
pleased, Up to late hour there had
been no trouble at the stock yards.
Several of the houses were closed to
allow the men TO take part in the pa
rade,

Camphor for Colds.

Camphor in various forms is fire.
puently recommended for colds in the
lead, although DR.. George johnson
and others long since indicated the
hangers attending the use Of concen-
rated alcoholic solutions. The fol-
lowing method of application is sug-
gested in Swiss pharmaceutical jour
hal, and certainly has the merit Of sim
plicity. A jug is half filled with boil
,ng water. in which a teaspoonful OF
well-powdered camphor is thrown. A
unnel-shaped paper cap is then placed
IN top of the jug, and hole torn in it
lust lifting the nose. The camphorated
Iteam is inhaled through the nose for
ten or fifteen minutes, the inhalation
,eing repeated, If required, every four
,r five hours. If the patient rcsolutely
persists with the inhalation, in spite Of
is unpleasantness, 1t Is said that three
'epetitions will always effect cure,
however severe the coryza may be.

Two LAWYERS Stories.

Occasionally lawyers get together
and swap stories about the funny things
they have heard in and around the
courthouse. A Republic reporter was
in carshot of several eminent barristers
and heard two anecdotes related that
are worth repeating:
When Judge Rombaucr was on the
bench he one day made a ruling against
a young attorney whose superiluity OF
diplomas was only equaled by his scant
knowledge of the law. Much disguised
the lawyer said:
II don't know where your honor goes
TO find such law as that"
When RULED Judge Rombauersp speaks
with strong Bohemian accent, and he
replied in emphatic language;
IL am not surprised, Mr.. -, zai
YOU know not where go to find re law,
Tor find it in re books"
The second incident was that where.
in a Judge had overruled q motion oil
Counselor Carney, one OF the best
known lawyers at the st. Louis bar.
The counselor is usually most respect
full to the court, but he lost his temper
this time and declared in his broad,
though rich and cultured, Irish brogue;
Your Honor,I hope for your honor's
honor that il will never be noised
abroad to your honor's hurt that this
honorable court ever made ruling 50
dishonorable to its own honor. $50.

EMBEZZLER ARRESTED.
A Chicago Fugitive Cartured in New
York,

Charles V. Henkel, twenty-three
years old, was arrested at Morrisiana,
N. Y. for embezzlement. Henkle wa<
in charge OF the Globe Light and Heat
Company at 1875 Michigan avenue,
Chicago, of which Martin Maloney,
president of the New York and New
Jersey Globe and Gas Light Company,
owns controlling stock. Mr.. Maloney
put Henkle in charge Of the Chicago
office. When he returned from Europe
recently he found Henkle's resignation
awaiting him. He ordered an investi-
cation and found Henlzle an embezzler
to the extent of several thousand dol
lars. He had left Chicago, however,
leaving young wife behind him. A
detective who was looking for him
learned that Mrs. Henkle had gone to
Morrisiana to attend funeral. She
was located and uenkle was found
with her.
