CHIOAGO's STRIKERS.
The Carpenters Now Fighting fol
Recognition of the Union.

The Carpenters Now Fighting for
Recognition of the Union.
CHICAGO. April S.-The carpenters strike
has narrowed down to a question of recog-
milton or non-recognition of the union. The
bosses are willing to copcede eight hours a
day. and a compromise upon rates could
easily be reached, but the bosses absolutely
refuse to recognize the union, aud the men
refuse to treat upon any basis except recog-
milton of the union.
A settlement Of the plumbers strike has
been reached by arbitration. The agree
meat is to run for two years from Feb. l
last. Journeymel are to receive 50 60 per
day instead OF SIS rs for which they struck,
and Juniors are TO get % cents per day ad-
vance, except in shops where it is custom
airy to grant them an annual advances in
wages. The men are well satisfied with the
terms reached, and work will be resumed
tomorrow.

A Necklace of Human Eyes.
From the ST. Louis Republic.

The wife of w. L. Curtis of Washington.
ID. e., is the posse sor of a most uncanny
ornament in the shape of necklace made
Of human eyes. The eyes were taken from
Peruvian mummies, polished and placed in
their present settings Accounts given out
few years ago, when the necklace was
being made, said that the eyes were those
of kind Of fish which, owing to the human
eyes proneness to decay, had been substi-
tuted. Reasoning from a common-sense
standpoint win convince the most skeptical
that an embalmer who understand his work
well enough to preserve fish ewes for CEN
turtles would also understands how to harden
the pulpy matter of the human eve. One
of the writer's frisnds, now in Costa RIGA
collecting natural history specimens, laughs
at the story of the mummy eyes being fish
eyes substituted by the embalmers for the
real human optic.

ARCHER'S DEFALCATION.
Interesting Developments Expected
Before the Committee.


Before the Committee.
BALTIMORE, April S.--The Herald of
Wednesday will say: at is expected that
some interesting facts will be developed in
connection with the Archer defalcation
when the legislative committee appointed
to investigate State Treasurer Archer's
accounts and methods of business meets
again on Thursday. 1t is known that the
bulk of Archer's transactions in this city in
hypothecating state sinking fund securities
was with the Franklin Bank, and t is insti-
tuition also figures in the deal which more
than all others SO far established will enable
the authorities to formulate charges of mis-
appropriation of funds against the keeper
of the states exchequer"
NATURE OF THE DEAL.
The ''dean referred to by the Herald
is the sale through brokerage firm of state
securities, the proceeds Of which were paid
to Archer by check on the Franklin bank
drawn to Archer's order as state treasurer.
but the funds were not all placed to the
credit of the state.
The Suns Belair special says: "At con-
sultation of Mr.. Archer's friends to-day it
was decided that it is inexpedient for him
TO make a statement. This IS considered to
mean that the idea of his making a state
ment at anytime has been entirely aban-
doned.n

had been charged with loan in Philadel-

commodate him with larger amount. The
customer replied that he had borrowed
nothing and did not need accommodation.
This led to an investigation that resulted in

Uncle Sans View of 1t.

1t seems so strange that Washington man with
no intent
To pull the forelock of old Time beyond It's nat
ural bent,
Who sought no thing fate did not bring and had
no love for pelf.
Should be the man beyond the rcst-he even beat
himself.
But that's the modesty that wins-it does no talk
that's rant
And that, you doubtless here recall was so with
L. 5. Grant.
/ think with pride but sorrow of the deuce that S
been to pay
Since those bogus Indians drowned that tea in
Massachusetts bay;
OF the fight begun in Kansas and which died
when Richmond fell,
The tigers of the boys in blue and that far Off
rebel yell;
But have pride, and speak right out, for the boys
that injured Inc
When they got up their rebellion and went out
with Robert Lee
I'm man, myself, who thinks it no discredit to
speak free.
But ii / can't win must give in, however sad
il be;
And England taught us that to do. and set the
precept square,
That to submit to conquerors is nothing more
than fair:
And all these states will lift the glass-their Pro-
hibitonsts can
To the memory of that Irishman called Philip
Sheridan.
And now, to think! hundred years since George
and began
To make things square in civil life and proper
Think how the stars have multiplied and spread
OF labor fed, rebellion dead, the black man fat
and free
What of the hundred years that here and now
have just begun

rison! i. VI. Gregory in Judge.

a trace now remains. Still there are
many memorials of Washington, such as
the old Pohick church and other places
where he occasionally resorted. While
the high character of Washingtons mo-
ther has been universally attested and
celebrated, much less is popularity known
of the paternal line; yet recent research
has traced it back clearly and unmis-
takably for 600 years, to William de
Hertburn. of the manor of Washington,
in the county of Durham, England.
When noblemen took the names of
their estates, the Wessyngtons became
Wassingtons, and finally Washingtons,
and it was long considered that they
were OF Norman stock. Quite recently,
however, an English historian has
claimed Saxon origin for them, and
traced them to the Wacsingas, small
band of the Saxon invaders. OF this it
can only be said at present that it is not
proven. From both sides Washington
inherited the best of qualities-a love of
truth, personal courage and strength,
steadiness of purpose and conscientious
devotion to duty. His mother neglected
no opportunity to strengthen his truth
fulness, and the circumstances of his
sar.y life made him an athlete.

A contemporary thus describes the
carriage: 1T was the best of its kind,
heavy and substantial. The body and
wheels were of cream color. with gilt
mountings; it was suspended on leather
straps resting in iron springs. The upper
part, front and rear, was furnished with
Venetian blinds and black leather cur
tains; these might be raised in good
weather. On the door Washingtons
arms were emblazoned, and below this
was scroll with his motto, 'Exitus
Acta Probat.' Upon each of the four
panels was an allegorical picture, en-
blematic of the seasons, beautifully done
on copper by Cipriani, an Italian artist"
In this coach Warrington and lady
Travelled in state, the coach being drawn
by four white horses and flanked by out
riders. The ants said he ''aped the
style of king" The coach, after the
death of Mrs. Washington, became the
property of her son, Mr.. Curtis, and was
finally broken up and made into canes
and snuff boxes. Such articles purport-
ing to be from this carriage were sold
for many years, and to an extent that
the amount would have made dozen
carriages

wAsA,NeToN's BUSINESS HABITS.

"Diligrnt in business, fervent in spirit,
tcr7ing the Lord" is the scripture out
lhle of well balanced character; and
many moralists have noted that careless
ness in money matters and inattention to
business details is generally proof of
weakness in moral character. In moth
ing does the high character OF Washing
ton show more conspicuously than IN
this. His whole life establishes the fact
that more perfect man of business
never lived. His education was purely
apracticaI one. All that he added in
liter life to this was made as events
showed the necessity for such study.
This practical foundation was laid at a
time when he was scarcely more than q
child. The historians tell us that at the
age of ID he studied the intricate forms
of business with an ardor which showed
what was in him. with a method which
demonstrated how that was to be devel-
oped. He copied out bills of exchange,
notes of hand, bills of sale, receipts and
all the varieties of the class which he de-
nominated as 'forms of writing" and
these are remarkable for the precision
and elegance with which they are copied.
1t is probably due in great measure
to his early formed methods OF business
that he had such wonderful capacity
for the business of war. The boy who
had collated and prepared the details of
an exercise at school brought into like
order the statistics necessary to study
before u campaign could be wisely COM
menced. Everything that could illus
trate the dutyof a soldier, the province
of the commander, the plan of attack or
defense, the topography of the field of
battle, was by his indomitable energy
and industry, his steadfast method,
brought into use in condensed form.
Let any one read his will, and he will
rise from its perusal with the conviction
that no more thorough business man ever
lived. There have been many documents
of similar kind drawn up with won
derful care and labor and at vast remu-
neration by gentlemen learned in the
law, but none where every incident is so
carefully attended to, not in the fear of
any possibility of an attack, but in the
ordinary sound business like manner in
which he did everything.
The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1890-02-21

decided. The stripes were to fill COM
paratively small place in one corner and
the stars to fill in around the center
piece.
1t is not ut all certain what that was
designed to represent. 1t has a suspicious
general resemblance to the lion and uni
corn business of England's emblem, and
was probably an imitation of ia want
of originality that probably condemned
the design at sight.
