Much Activity in British Military
Circles in Canada,

The extraordinary activity in military circles
in Quebec yesterday gave rise to much discus
sion. Inquiry at the citadel elected the infor-
nation that owing to orders from Ottawa
great quantities of gunpowder were being ship
ped to all western depots. The magazines at
Kingston, st. John and other frontier points
are being filed to their fullest capacity. Much
of the powder is also being rushed forward to
the Pacific coast, and the government cartridge
factories are working day and night to fill the
extraordinary orders. This unusual activity
causes quite a sensation, but the military are
silent as to the cause

g A recently published work on 'TheArt Of
Advertising" says: "A point which will afford
reliable information as to the value Of publ
cation as an advertising medium is the close
ness with which the publisher adheres to his
advertising rates" The STAR invariably holds
to its rates; and, what is Of greater importance
to the advertiser, it charges ererybOdy ne same

Attacked by Dog in the Water.
While Oscar Hittle. aged fourteen years, was
bathing in Staten Island sound at Elizabeth
port, NJ, Wednesday evening, large mastid
sprang OF one Of the docks and seized the boy
by the thigh. The lads screams from pain and
fright attracted the attention of some oyster
men near by, who beat of the ferocious brute
with their oars. Their timely arrival saved the
lads life, as he was utterly exhausted and
tainted when hauled into the boat.

NOT MANY WOMEN PRINTERS.
The Sex Has Found Better Fields of
Work Than Setting Type.
New Yo-x Gup


Women printers few years ago were
standing menace TO the trade, in the view
OF the men printers, and the question of
their admittance to typographical unions
threatened to become burning issue in
the labor world. In this CITY il was settled
for the time being by the admission OF the
women TO union No. 8. with the condition
that they be not allowed to work for less
wages than men. This handicapped the
women heavily, for the trade is not one
IN which woman can hold her own with
man on equal terms, but even ut this il was
Unsatisfactory to large element among
1the men, who objected 10 having women
~ 4he trade at all, and the trouble contin-
H&AF threatened to break out in new spots.
A1eantime, however, the matter has been
gsummarily settled out of court, as it
we're. Women don't want to be printers
any more. The introduction of the type
writer and the opening up of other lines of
employment more agreeable and suitable
for woman seem to have relieved the
female labor market OF the greater part
of the women who used to want to be
printers.
Il is said by officers of Typographical
Union No. q, that there are not over 800
women printers in New York now One
hundred OF these are in the union. They
work chiefly in large book printing offices,
where the hours are easy and there is no
rush. A few are in the morning newspa-
per offices, working as distributors in the
afternoon. Women have worked as COM
positors on some of the morning papers,
but the cases were exceptional, such as
where a man died and his widow was
allowed to take his case until she could get
something better to do. 1t is thought that
the number of women printers is decreas-
ing constantly in spite of the rapid growth
of the trade Men say it is a good thing
not only for selfish reasons. but because
the trade, although generally classed as a
light and easy one. is really too wearisome
too unhealthy, and in other ways unsuited
for women.

The rrapeze Mans Teeth Gave Way.

The Delmo brothers, trapeze performers,
met with painful and perhaps fatal acct
dent during their exhibition az the Gem
tbeater late Saturday night. Both of the
gymnasts, George and William, were on q
trapeZe twenty-five feet above the stage
William had his legs hooked over the bar,
with his head hanging down. In his
mouth he had leather strap. which was
fastened to a belt around his brothers
waist. In this suspended attitude George
was being spun around like a top by
movement of Williams head, and at the
same time the trapeze was made TO swing
with great velocity. Some extra force, sup
posed to be the result of one of the belt
rings getting caught, wrenched several
teeth from Williams mouth, and thereby
preeipitared Georges body to the floor He
laid there stark and motioniess and the au-
dience believed him dead. After being
taken home he recovered consciousness,
but has not since been able TO walk. The
physicians, who have made q careful ex-
animation, believe he is internally injured.
William Delmo is also confined with q
raging fever.
