VIRTUALLY OVER.
The Strike on the New York
Central Railroad.
Caused BY the Action of the
Brotherhood Engineers,

Who Refuse to- Join the Ranks of the
strikers Everything Quiet at the
Grand Central Depot in New York and
Trains Being Dispatched With Perfect
Regularlty-Folice Still on Duty.
New YORK, Aug. l8.--Although the
strike on the New York Central railroad
has not been declared oiSby the Knights
of Labor it is virtually at an end. The
decision of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tue Engineers in refusing to come out
was its death knell.
About the Grand Central depot Tues
day morning everything was quiet and
trains were being dispatched with per-
feet regularity. The police were about,
as strong as ever, but there was appar
emily no necessity for them TO be there
Mr.. Webb was early at his Office and
expressed himself as thoroughly satisfied
with the situation. He had just received
dispatch from Dewitt which said that
all was quiet there and there We're no
strikers in sight. Westbound trains
were being moved over the Auburn
branch. Livestock was being loaded in
cars and pushed forward.
At o'clock nothing had been heard
as to what had been done at the Sixty
seventh street and Thirty-third stree
yards. None of the leading lights of
the knights could be found.
The police arrangements for the
strike differed in no way from those
which have existed since Friday night
when the trouble began.
The only depredations reported during
Monday night were along the Tenth
avenue freight tracks, where. i'll IL num-
Der of instances, coupling pins were
pulled from the cars with the effect of
breaking up the trains. The neighbor-
hood abounds with young toughs, who,
as likely as not, We're the real mischief
makers.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineeIs and Firemen are laughing in
their sleeves at the terrible de-
feat of the knights. The knights them
selves are very much disgruntled

The First Great Ship Railway.

In 1891 we are promised the opening
of the worlds first great ship railway.
The event will be one of vast interest
to the scientific and to the commercial
world, for if it proves a success in
actual practice there seems to be little
doubt but that this method of trans
porting cargoes overland in bu1k will
be adopted in many places. The
actual cost of construction and convey
anee is, according to Capt. Eads and
other well-known engineers, far less
than the building of canals. The ship
railway in question is now under con-
struction across the narrow strip of
land which divides the st. Lawrence
river from the Bay of Fundy. At the
Bay of Fundy end the work of build
ing a huge dock capable of lifting
vessel and cargo some forty feet is
under way, while at the st. Lawrence
end equally extensive preparations are
being made of a slightly modified
character. There are seventeen miles
of land to be traversed between the
two, and in a year or two we are prom
ised the spectacle of seeing ships of
1000 tons or more lifted bodily and
carried on trucks with innumerable
wheels across hill and dale. Some 500
miles of travel are thus to be saved,
and the Canadian government has
largely subsidized the undertaking.
Its prosperity and mechanical success
will be watched with peculiar interest.

Girls as Pack.Horses.

No sooner are the Swiss girls large
enough to possess the requisite physi-
cal strength than they are set to the
most servile work the land affords,
says a traveller. The child has a
panier- basket fitted to her shoulders
at the earliest possible moment, and
she drops it only when old age, pre-
mature but merciful, robs her of pow
er to carry it longer.
have seen sweet little girls of IL or
IA staggering down mountain side or
along a rough pathway under the
weight of bundles of fagots as large as
their bodies, which they no sooner
dropped than they hurried back for
others. 1 have seen girls of Is years,
blistering rays of an August sun, break
ing up the ground by swinging mat
tocks heavy enough to tax the strength
of an able-bodied man.
l have known q young miss no older
than these to be employed as a porter
for carrying the baggage of travellers
up and down the steepest mountain
path in all the region round about.
She admitted that it was sometimes
very hard to take another step, but
she must do it.
And she carried such an amount of
baggage! A stout-limbed guide is pro-
tected by the law, so that he cannot be
compelled to carry above twenty-five
pounds, but the limit to the burden
often put upon girls is their inability
to stand up under anything more.
But the burden increases with the
age and strength of the burden-bear-
ers, till by the time the girls have
come to womanhood there is no sort of
menial toll in which they do not bear
a hand, and quite commonly the chief
hand.-BaLttnlore NelCS.

ILLUSTRATING BOOKS.
The High Prices Realized by Some Artists
in This Line.

To take an uncut and unbound COPY
of an ordinary book, like Grants
Memoirs" for example, and after some
months artistic labor upon its margins
and blank spaces to make it worth
81, 500 or $4,000, would be considered
q great feat by those who are unfamil.
lar with the prices obtained for hand
illustrated books. The public at large
never sees such volumes, says the N.
Y. Star. The artist remains unknown
except to a limited number of wealthy
book lovers and their friends. His
work, incased in fooled Levant and
lustrous satin, is carefully laid away
to be brought forth only on rare occa-
sions. Since such work, however meri-
torious, brings to the artist no fame,
and one life is too short to produce
many elaborately illustrated books, he
must find his sole consolation in money,
regretting doubtless that he can not
realize the prices his books are sure to
bring hundred years hence.
Many a patron of art who would not
hesitate to pay s., 900 or $10 900 for a
modern French painting with a famous
name in the corner would stand
aghast if asked to pay as many hun
dreds for an illustrated book which
for safety must be kept out of view.
Indeed, one millionaire who is said to
have paid $40, 900 for spurious Corot,
when offered hand illustrated book
for $3.50 eXclaimed:
mo! not for one book. want $50
books for that sum-"
The purchaser of books daintily
embellished with pen and pencil must
be lover of literature as well as art.
Meissonier's early training as book
illustrator helped to make him one of
the greatest of artists.
In hand illustrated books the biblio-
phile demands elaboration. Slight
sketches will not please him, though
for variety a powerful and correct
drawing without much finish is often
admissible. However, real fervor is
apt to be repressed by the danger of
spelling a leaf, when perhaps the book
is nearly finished. For this reason the
work of beginners, however good in
other fields, shows signs of timidity
and feebleness. Concentration of at
tention and perfect confidence with
every stroke of the pen or brush are
essential to success in this branch of
art. Sometimes in drawing miniature
portraits such delicacy of touch is
required to secure likeness that the
artist must use magnifying glass and
holds his breath

A Newsboy in Luck.

A broker stepped out of the stock
exchange yesterday. apparently after
having made some money. He espied
a little mite of ragged newsboy not
three feet high. and a philanthropid
notion took possession of him. He
caught up the little bunch of rags, and
carrying it to cigar stand procured
an empty cigar-box. This he placed
in the dazed boys hands. Then the
broker dashed into the exchange with
a wild whoop that directed gener al at
rounded by crowd, and Broker Dick
Halstead threw a coin into the box,
seized the boy, passed him to j. w.
Bass. who also passed him on after
dropping a contribution into the box.
Coins and bills began to rain into it.
The Sugar trust crowd was invaded,
then the New England crowd, and the
pile of money in the box grew rapidly.
Finally the dazed boy was released.
There must have been $50 in the box.
He shot out of the exchange and was
last seen running up Nassau street
hugging the box tightly to his breast.
Who he was nobody knew.-M r.

A Sharn Limb of the Law.

Young Bitter has recently embarked
upon a career as a lawyer, says the
Boston Courier, and hung out his
shingle to attract such customers as
may be caught thereby from amid the
throng of passers who go up and down
Washington street, seeking to devou1
and in the end not infrequently get
ting devoured. That there is in him
some of the capacities necessary for
the successful pursuit of the legal pro-
fession is indicated by an incident,
trivial in itself, which marked the be.
ginning of his career.
'Why is it,, he was one day asked
by classmate who put out his sign ip
the same block at about the same time,
THAT people whom you don't in the
least know come into your Office and
give you jobs. and nobody ever comes
to me unless it is somebody that has
been sent?"
My dear fellow" was the reply; at
is the simplest thing in the world. When
l had my sign painted, 1 let it lie out
on the grass for a week, | squirted
water over it from the garden hose,
and 1 rubbed it with a sod so that
when it was put up it looked as if it
had been in use for two or three years.
Your bright new sign advertised to
all the world that you were just start
ing out, but mine gave the impression
that was an old hand; so l got the
patronage. See?"
Eyes, l see,n the other returned

Our Habits With Our Hands.

What to do with the hands, especially
on important social occasions, is with
many persons even of cultured habits,
often disturbing problem. No one
likes to appear awkward, and frequent
ly the very dread of doing so precipi-
tates the result that was feared. Quiet
self-possession, especially amid un-
wonted scenes, is the solution of all
perplexing matters of this sort; but
unfortunately the command to be self
to obey. What to do with the hands,
nothing with them. they will naturally
that will attract no attention and give
no modification to the possessor. One
thing, however, should be early in
stilled into the practice of children, as
it is then most easily made a rule of
conduct; keep the hands at rest when
there is nothing for them properly to
do. The practice of necessarily toying
with whatever may be within reach is
one of the most annoying imaginable,
in that class of habits which do. not
directly affront other people; and is
not by any means confined to those
who might be classed as ill-bred.
An incident in point will illustrate
the practical phase of this habit. The
writer once noticed clergyman, whose
fingers were never at rest. No sooner
was his prayer begun, than they be,
gan their work. While the man OF
God prayed long and earnestly, his
busy fingers explored every portion Of
the reading-desk. They found each
nail that had been used in the uphol
stering, dwelt upon its head with a
gentle emphasis, as though distinctly
to indicate it to the gation-who
certainly followed the preachers
fingers much more generally than his
prayer-every junction of the plush
was traced back and forth as though tc
find possible entrance for the per-
sistent fingers ends; and when finally
small rent in the covering was re-
vealed, it seemed from the fond per.
sistence with which the aperture was
fondled, coaxed together. drawn apart
and explored, that the object of all the
research was at last realized. Of all
this ridiculous fumbling the perpetra.
tor was, entirely oblivious-and that
was the worse phase of the matter
the habit had become fixed. and is
doubtless a lifelong possession-suct
as it is.-G0Od Housekeeping.

HENRY cLAY's POKER PLAYING.
Some Stories That Recall the Old Gam
bling Days at the Capital.

THAT is the very table at which
Henry Clay used to lose the greater
part of his Congressional salary" said
an old Washington gambler ''The
game he used to play was one in which
the blind was so cents and 81 to come
in. There was no limit in those days,
as there generally is to-day. A man
could. however, demand sight for his
money. Clay's antagonist was gener.
ally man named Bright. and both
preferred to play two-handed game.
The cards were cut one day and Clay
got the first deal. He was a better
card-shuffier than lives to-day. He
could hold his hands four feet apart
and fly the cards from one to the other
without single card falling. Gen.
orally he dealt with one hand
and without a perceptible aoxe-
ment of the arm, throwing each.
to its proper place with his long mus
cular fingers. Clay was a poor poker.
play, however. He played for excite
ment and not for gain. and as he was
careless about his bets he generally
came out the loser. He almost always
straddled the blind, and whatever
hand he held would raise the bet of his
antagonist. He used to bluff great
DEAL and as this would soon be found
out he would come out loser.
For nearly two hours the night ]
speak of Clay had been having his own
way with Bright. He held a king full
four times running and then had
jack full. Bright did his best to
catch Clay in bluff. but it was of no
use. Clay had hand that could be
beaten only by foars. The play began
at 5 o'clock and by 1890 Bright had
lost 81, 500 and had borrowed $500
from John Hancock. After that Clay's
luck vanished, and by midnight he had
lost all his winnings and $1,000 be.
sides-all the cash he had with him.
1T was Saturday night and Bright
proposed that they quit so they could
go to church in the morning, but Clay
wouldn't have it. So he borrowed
$500 from Bright and let the game go
on. The game was continued, and by
daylight he owed Bright 1900. F8
liquidated the debt by giving Brigh6 a
deed for 320 acres of Kentucky Iand
and six shares of stock in a Louisville
bank.
CLAY went to church all .fbe same
that morning. While he Nas talking
to the RECTOR after it was. f0ver he put
his hand in his pocket and pulled out q
PICK of cards along With his handker-
chief. They tiuttered to. the ground,
but Clay was not abashed, and re-
placing them said that they must have

Women in Wall Street.

Marie Antoinette Nathalie Pollard,
a Virginia woman who has become
well known in the South and on the
Pacific slope, intends to apply for a
seat in the Consolidated Stock EX-
change. Several brokers have told her
that they can see no reason why she
shall not become member, even
though she is woman. If the Board
of Managers act favorably on Mrs.
Pollard's application she will probably
be the first woman in the world to be-
come a member of stock exchange.
She speculated in California mining
stocks few years ago and says she
made $4,000.
DO you know that there are be-
tween 800 and 400 women who
speculate in Wall streetP" asked Mrs.
Pollard the other day as she sat in her
attractively fitted up Office. "It may
surprise you, but it is fact. They
are successful, too, and make as much
money as the men. We ladies are
quiet about what we do. Many lady
spectators have husbands who object
to their speculating. And it is their own
money that they use; they speculate
on the quiet.
MOST LADY SPECTATORS are pulls.
They buy but do not sell often. l do
not know why this is so. know that
when was speculating was buyer.
One stock had invested in went way
down. held on to it for a long time
and finally it went up and made on it.
lit is easy to make money in stocks
if one only keeps ones eyes open. OF
course if you buy at random you are
in great danger of losing. 1 suppose
there are ladies who fancy that all they
have to do to get rich is to throw some
money into Wall street. That is q
great mistake.
Most of the ladies who speculate
are women of means who want to in
crease their wealth. but there are a
good many who only have few dol
lars, say 800 or more, and invest it
here and make. IN Y. Press.
