The Fire Wardens have placed an iniunc-
ton on the building of B. & j. S. Doe, in
course of construction at the corner of Mar
ket and Hayes streets. 1t was argued that
too much wood was used in the building,
and that the large bay-window at the gore
was insecure. The latter was condemned.
The western wall was declared too light for
the height, and it is said wooden Orders had
been substituted for the iron ones required
by law. b. Doe has decided to comply with
the Wardens' orders rather than take the

There are two indictments in this county
against him for horse and cattle stealing,

these charges. For months he remained in

At one time party of ten men, with the

him in patch of woods south of this place,
but, despite their rifles and shotguns, he
successfully dehed the whole crowd and
made good his escape, though some of the
shot from the gun of one of the posse
lodged in Baugh's hip.
The people all around Lawrenceyille for
weeks lost one after another of their cattle,
and everyone believed and charged Baugh
as being The thief who stole them. 1t was
this thievipg business that caused his sudden

A Witness Describes the Battle in the
Streets of Buenos Ayres.
C. 81. Abbey Of Kansas City has lust re-
turned from an exciting business trip
through the Argentine Republic. He gives
very interesting history of his trip. Among
other things he says:
Il witnessed from the top of a house the
great battle in the streets of Buenos Ayres,
in which $500 people were killed The streets
were filled with the bodies of dead men.
and there was literally river of blood.
1t was an opportunity that comes to
man but once in a lifetime to see Il great
battle fought in great city. and it will last
a lifetime. The troops fought without sense
or reason. but they fought bravely. They
would barricade the streets with the bodies
of dead men and horses and fight behind
them. But no one could say anything
against their bravery. Talk about the
charge of the Six Hundred The officers
would send company alter company down
to what we knew ana what they knew to be
certain death, and they never flinched or
heSitated. They were never driven back.
The heaps of the slain demonstrated that
brave, desperate men are not all dead yet
And what was more remarkable was the
character OF those regiments of Argentine.
II looked like miniature battlefield of all
nations of Europe. Americans, Italians,
Greclans, Turks. Austrians, Swedes, French
and Spanlards fought side by side in the
contendlng armies, for all nations are well
represented in the city of BuenoS Ayres,-

taken upstairs from the annex into what ia
known as the death-cell, being but few
yards away from the gallows, one door of
the cell opening out on the gailows. Smith
was put in the cell early in the evening aud
left alone for six hours in the hope that he

BREAKING A ROYAL MATCH.
Prince Albert Victor Not to Marry the
Princess Victoria of Teck.

All chance of a marriage between the Prin-
cess Victoria of Teck and Prince Albert Victor
is now denied i'll court and fashionable circles
in London. There is no doubt that the young
prince is deeply in love with his beautiful
cousin and has been sent to India before the
time intended that travel and excitement
might cause him to forget her.
Meanwhile every endeavor is being made to
find a husband for the young lady, and GER
tain young nobleman has been encouraged to
pay her attention, the queen having told the
duchess of Teck that if she wishes to be re-
membered i'll her majesty's will or to obtain a
peerage for her eldest son. she must nip her
daughters ambition i'll the bud. Ii the queen
can manage matters to her liking the prince
Will marry his cousin, the Princess Alice of
HCsse.
Though not absolutely beautiful the princess
is charming girl, who likes gaiety and is an
excellent dancer ana has been the constant
play-fellow and chosen companion of the prince
since childhood. 1t is certain that he will
strongly oppose the breaking of the match.

The Employment of Apprentices.
To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:


According to the article from the Chicago
Netcs, published in THE STAR on Saturday labor
organizations are opposed to the employment of
apprentices, and it is charged that their infu-
ence is directed against the American boy learn
ing trade. That this is an error will become
apparent to any person of common sense upon
moments reflection. Against the present
system" OF employing apprentices, which is
no system at all, and which does great harm
and injustice 10 apprentices, labor organiza-
tons are rlghteously opposed. Under it not
one boy III ten becomes familiar with the de-
tails OF any trade, even if he serves a full ap-
premiership" What used to BE called a trade
Is now cut up into branches, so that when boy
starts TO learn trade he only learns part OF
one In the majority OF cases he is not appren-
tlced. but Is simply employed, generally at
very low wages. Becoming familiar with his
occupation after year or SO he conceiYes the
idea that he Is not receiving enough wages and
looks around for another employer Ill the same
business who will pay him dollar or two more
a week, and he generally finds one. who invari-
ably discharges a competent workman. often "A
man with family, 10 make room for HIM
his Is not an imaginary case, but is going ON
all over this country, as much so in Chicago as
elsewhere. III the census to be taken this wear
would inquire into this matter the result would
be astonishing.
What the American boy wants. what labor
organizations want, and what employers a. a
class, do not want. is system of indentured
apprenticeship. perhaps not SO severe and
eXacting as that under which our fathers
served, but modernized to suit the present.
The vast army OF incompetent workmen in this
country today can safely be placed TO the credit,
OF the apprenticeship system, as they were
started on their career by employers opposed
to AN indentUred apprenticeship. The Ameri-
can boy should be protected, encouraged and
have the right 10 earn living, and the respon-
sibility for his present. condition cannot by any
means be laid at the door of labor Organiza-
tions. If apprentices were properly indent-
ured it would place considerable responsibility
on employers and they would not be as willing
to nil their shops with boys now, and the
American boy would have better chance as a
boy and fair chance as 4 man.
