A Family Evicted Once, but They Regained
Possession of Their Dwelling.
Hugh Mclaughlin and Mrs. Ann Nc
Laughlin had hearing before Alderman
Reilly yesterday on charge of forcible
entry and detainer preferred by Constable
O'Brien. 1t is alleged that the Mclaughlin
family refused to pay the rent of their house
on Twenty-ninth street, and were put out,
together with their furniture, by the con-
stable. When he departed they returned to
the house and moved their goods in along.
The constable heard OF it and went back
to evict them, but they could not be made
to leave second time. He then made in
formation against them and had them
brought up for a hearing, when they each
gave bail for court. Two daughters of the
house were allowed to go free.

BRADDoCK, April 26.-Indications point
to strike among the miners employed at

q meeting near the coal tipple last evening
and voted to demand the raise decided upon
at the Columbus Convention. The men
have been getting 20 cents ton for mining,
and the decision of the convention was that
they should get 79 cents after Nav 1.
Should the operators refuse to accept these
terms, strike is inevitable after next
Thursday.
President W. P. De Armit was out TODAY
and called meeting at 2 o'clock. The men
did not respond to the call, only few of the
outside or day men attending. The men
look to have their demand acceded to, as at
this time of the year the firm has larger
orders to fill than any other period. This is
on account of the lake trade, but should it
not come,to pass and they be refused the

An Anti.Climax.

There is good joke going the
rounds on certain clergyman in
Rochester who is noted quite as much
for his Observation-Disclosures on occasion
as for his general piety. He was called
in not long since by young couple
whose home had just been lightened
by miniature representative Of the
mothers sex. Tho happy parents de-
cided to have the christening at home.
The minister took the child in his
arms and in his kind, fatherIy way ad-
dressed few words of advice to the
young people.
"See that you train this child up in
the way that he should CO." he began.
"Give him the benefit of good ex-
ample and see that he is surrounded
by the very best influences. IL you do
this, who knows but that he may be-
come a Washington or General
Grant? What is his name?"
"Jennie," demurely responded the

Now that ladies are so generally en-

operators, the columns of some news

tempts at humor in which the pretty
amanuensis and her alleged firtations
with the business man are the inspiring
theme. Perhaps these jokes, on ac-
count of their insipidity, are harmless,
and do not deserve the dignity of a re-
monstrance, but, nevertheless, wo en-
Ter our protest against any attempt to
place ina ridiculous or improper light
the honest and worthy occupation of a
woman. All honor to the girl who has
the energy, and pluck and determine

great world of business. There are
enough actual follics, weaknesses and
foibles of men to laugh about withou
making innocent women the subject of
ridicule by making them figure in in

The Need of a Fruit Room.

On every farm where there is con-
siderable fruit there ought to be a
fruit-room. Many have the fruit-room
in the cellar, which is not desirable,
from sanitary point of view, as there
are gases given off by the ripening
fruit which are very injurious to the
family, unless greater care than usual
is taken with ventilation. The first
class modern farmhouse will have no
provision for its milk-room or for pre-
serving vegetables, or fruits. A sepa-
rate dairy-house has so many points of
superiority over room in cellar.
that it is worth while to build one
where only few cows are kept. The
saving of running up and down
stairs is no small consideration.
A fruit house need not be very ex-
pensive. 1t must, of course, never
freeze, and there should be Lo sudden
changes in temperature; should be
quite dry, with complete control over
light and ventilation. Buifding-paper,
and other non-conducting material,
greatly facilitate the building of sucll
houses. The interior should be pro-
vided with shelves, not too wide for
every part to be reached, and instead
of plank stats are preferable; the front
of the shelves should be provided with
boards, set on edge, to make them
really shallow bins, in which fruit can
be inspected at all times and assorted
whenever necessary.

MEMORIES.

Thev never will read it, in this sad face,
How came at last to my lady's grace;
# they saw my heart they would hardly
know,
It lies SO close and Turks SO low:
So womanly went she, so gladstone and good.
The charm of her never was understoo't;
Till for whom was the secret fine
Found her, and wooed her, and won her for
mine.
She knows-she only how slow and sweet
My love grew up from the palms Of her feet,
From low at her foot to high on her brow,
From Dear-and Dearer-to Dearest-till
now, e..
There is none of her-none-that I may not
love,
Beauty Of earth, or bright spirit above;
Only the angels and Fanny knew
Why, living and dying, l love her SO.
