Outlook for the Packers,

CHICAGO, April 28.-Preparations for the
expected packing house strike are being
made. The International company pro-
poses to close down Thursday. Fowler
Bros. are putting their premises in order
for continuing operations behind closed
gates and the high fence erected during the
last strike and surrounding their entire
place. The steam filters at Armour's quit
work to day because of the eight-hour day,
and the coopers at Bottsford's struck
against the contract requiring money de-
post. Railroad switching at the yards is
done by members of the switchmen's asso-
citation, and it was said tonight that if the
packing house employees go out the switch
men will lend assistance by refusing tc
handle cars for the houses involved. Such
a move would be Gripping blow to the
packing interests. The yardmaster dis.
credits the report, as the yards are private
property.

Game of Freeze-Out.

CHICAGO, April os.-A local paper say
this morning that the trouble between the
Carpenters and Builders association and
their striking employees has become game
of freeze-out The members of the asso-
citation have informally agreed to entirely
suspend all attempts to carry on business
for the present. The few men of other
trades now working will be discharged
Wednesday night.
1t is almost certain that by Monday at
least 1900 of the 5000 carpenters now idle
will go to work for the new bosses associa-
stormy session over this to-day. A strong
minority was against any resumption OF
work until all could go back at once.

COMING ATTRACTIONS.

The Casino Company and the BOstonians
on the Way.
The next attraction at Ming's will be the
Casino Opera company, which opens a
three nights engagement on May 8. The
famous Casino successes, Erminie and
Nadjy, will be presented in fine style. The
company is said to be composed of excel
lent people, though the fact that Nadjy and
Erminie will be sung will alone draw large
audiences. No company needs better rec.
ommendation than the knowledge that it is
under the direction of Rudolph Aronson.

heads of Departments or Bureaus,
and those under them, are vastly
more serviceable to the country than
the responsible Ministers. The lat
ter are often no more than mere
wooden images, with heads full Of
shavings or sawdust, hung up like
signboards, to intimate that This ia

litical fisurehesd; if you want any
thing heavier than bunknm, step
inside; you will find man there

will be tempted to help themselves
from the till. And they should have
a permanent tenure OF office, and not

can there he efficiency where there is
constant change? If as soon as man

treatment, is he likely to do better

THE HOUR HAND.

A Tale Which Teaches That the Smartcst
People Arc Not the Most Useful.
u"Come, come, you won't get around
this week if you don't hurry up" said
the Minute Hand to the Hour Hand,
and he winked at figure One as no
passed along. "IIere comes old Hour
Hand" he said to figure Two, Look
out he doesn't run over you. Hello,
Threem he cried, five minutes later,
my short friend will be around after
I've made about two more trips, Oh,
he's travelling. All, Four. Don't stop
me for goodness sake! Old Hour Hand
is after me.
And 50 the Minute Hand went round
putting them all up to poke fun at his
slow friend. The figures laughed and
called out to one another that the Min
ute Hand was too smart a chap for the
Hour Hand to travel with. The Pendu-
lum down below knew what was going
on. and laughed softly as it rocked TO
and fro. Even the pale face of the
clock seemed about to break out into
smile at the general hilarity.
Meanwhile the poor Hour Hand crept
laboriously on.
"Ah, Shorty" cried the Minute Hand
close behind him, been taking nap?
Come, I'll bet can 20 around the ring
twelve times to your once; look out now.
III soon pass you"
The little bell struck sharply, 'one--
two"
Hello, he's got as far as Two" The
figures saw, and they all laughed loudly.
"Oh dear, dear" sighed the Hour
Hand, 81 can't go any faster to save my
life. How | wish | was as smart as the
Minute Hand, I'm the butt of all his
Jokes, and the others laugh at me, too.
| haven't a friend on the face of tho
clock. | can't endure it any longer.
won't 90 on. I'll just stop right here"
"Wherc's our moderate friend?" asked
the figures of the Minute Hand an hour
or two later.
80, he stopped back there" was the
answer. "lio started to race with me,
but guess he got out of wind
After awhile the owner of tho clock
came into the room. "Hello!' said he,
o'clock stopped? No." he continued,
but it might as well be for all the
good it'll do without tho Hour Hand"
Then he gently touched the Hour
Hand, seized the Minute Hand, showed
him round and round the circle, waited
to see that they were going properly
and went away.
'Whew!' exclaimed the Minute
Hand, dizzy and breathless: Glow he
did shove mel and he was nightly
crestfallen because the figures had seen
him so roughly used.
But the Hour Hand travelled on with
a happy face and the figures looked upon
him with great respect.
The moral of this tale is that the
smartest people are not alway the most
nseful. Detroit Free Press.

EFFECTlNG THINGS.
fommon-Sense Advice Regarding tho
Fighting of Public Abuses.

Common-sense Advice Regarding tho
Fighting of Public Abuses.
1t was the remark of a man who had
done good deal of public service of
that sort which is wholly unremuncra.
tive, and which must be done from a
pure love of seeing abuses righted, that
every body would apply himself to the
righting of public abuses were it only
generally known how easily things OF
this sort can be done. ''The first time
| undertook any thing of this sort" he
said, Il went into it without the
slightest hope of really accomplishing
any thing more than the easing of my
own conscience, and possibly of pre-
pairing the way for some one who should
come after me and finish what |
could not more than begin, but to
my establishment | discovered that
after all one has only to set
to work to do about what he will. The
public is 50 observed because it is too
indolcnt to take the trouble to find out
that it may have most of the abuses
which torment it remedied almost for
the asking"
1t is feared that this view is not to be
taken too literally. 1t was probably
too highly colored by personal expert
cnCe to be reliable as far as the public
in general goes And, yet it is undoubt-
edly true that the people who hold back
from the attempt to have the unplcaS-
ant and undesirable things which vcX
the community righted would be amazed
at the things they could do if they
would but try. 1t is often the mere
starts that cost, as has been so cOntinu-
ously remarked by the proyerb mongerS
for hundreds of years,
In matters touching the wcll-being Of
the community, it is almost always to
those who are anxious to retain some
hardly-bought political preferment that
one must apply for relief; and the fear
of offending a possible voter is in itself
not infrequently sufficient to bring
matters about it is to be noted,
moreover, that as Il rule people are good
naturcd enough to be willing to do any
thing for the public good if it is not too
much trouble, and the amount of urging
in such case not usually large that is
needed to bring them up to the working
point. The reason that things go un-
done is because people in general are
persuaded that it is of no use to trouble
themselves about them, while people
in particular are apt to be so engrossed
in following out their private affairs
that they have no time to give to the
rightning of public wrongs, even
though SO doing may be their manifest
and individual duty. If only folk will
take hold with will it is not essential
that they have great deal of influence
Or power, but they can effect good
deal simply by making beginning-by
taking that first step which proyobrially
costs. -BOston Courier.
