"And L, SalQ NED.
"Strike what ?" asked mother.
"Why, strike-strike work, you know.
Strikes are all the fashion now Ned and
l have been holding caucus about it,
and we have made up our minds to try
one. The White boys struck and had q
splendid time Of it. They didn't do
thing for a week, and then their mother
made propC sails for them to go on. She
offered them a rise on theirpocket money.
That's the way strikes always end"
"Not always" said mother, looking
rather amused.
CHOW, mother" said Tom impressively,
"you're to remember that if you want us
to do anything specially for you, we're
ready to do it. This strike doesn't apply
to anything OF that sort"
"You are very kind, | am sure" said
mother.
"But," said Ned, 'if Bridget wants any
wood brought, Or any kindling cut, she's
got to make special terms. And if ia Their
wants the garden worked, he must make
special terms"
understand" said mother. 81 dare
say strike is very good thing some
times, and serves u very useful purpose
in showing how much people depend on
each other When does the strike be-
gin?"
'"This morning."
"WelI, you must notify Bridget of what
is going on"
The boys skipped off to the kitchen and
informed the maid of-all-work that they
had "struck," and then rushed off to
school tull of Joy over the new state of
things. An hour later mother received
note from father stating that he had
been suddenly called out of town, and
might not be able to return for two or
three days.
"Ah," she said smiling, 'this will help
out the strike very WE'LL"
She had little talk with Bridget in the
kitchen, and then went to make few
cal among her friends
"Hurrah'' shouted Tom, as he rushed
into the house on his return from school
at noon. '1'm AS hungry as bear,
mother"
No answer came t o his calls.
"What's to pay?" said Ned, who had
come in more slowly. "Bridgetl Where
in the world is she?"
But silence seemed to reign where the
clatter of pans and dishes usually made
music in the ears of hungry boys.
"Well, WE'LL" exclaimed Tom, as he
flung open the kitchen door.
The shades were drawn down, he stove
cold, the table bare and clean, and every
thing in apple-pie order
Doesn't look much like dinner" said
Tom, fretfully.

81 know how. | saw Bridget doing it
once, and it was just as easy. You take
eggs and milk and flour. You make the
fire while get the things"
The fire making was brilliant success.
"I'd like to see if we can't look out for
ourselves" said Tom, his spirits rising at
the sound of the cheerful crackle
He began to separate the yolks from
the whites of the eggs finding it more
difficult performance than it had appeared
under Bridget's skillful fingers.
81 don't see what makes the -four so
lumpy,' said Tom as he stirred it into
the eggs. 'But guess it'll all come right
| in the cooking. Now, Ned, bring the
spider"
The two watched eagerly as the omelet
began to cook. But the lumpy mixture
failed woefully in taking Oh the puffy ap-
pearance always assumed by Bridget's
omelets.

back. '1'm getting tired OF strikes. l

strike go. [ wish mother was here, so we
could tell her,
Tom felt like holding out a littlelonger,
but when at noon he stood again by the
kitchen table, he agreed that he had had
enough of it.
'Theres mother!" said Ned joyfulIy,
as he heard an approaching step.

cor mother?'
COR father"
But as the noon hour wore away, and
neither mother, father nor Bridget ap-
peared, the boys hunted about for what
they could get to eat, and feeling much
abused at the cold, comfortless lunch
went back to school.
Mother sat at the window when they
returned home in the afternoon.
'Mother, here are Phil and Harry
Graham, said Tom, ushering two boys
into the room. Mother gave them q cor
dial greeting, after which Tom took them
out to see his rabbits, while Ned fingered
to talk little f..l.
"They're Jolly, nice boys, that have
just moved here" he explained, "and
they're going to stay for tea. But mother,
where's Bridget? There wasn't q soul
here when we came home at noon," he
added, waxing little indignant at the
remembrance of the injuries put upon
them.
ooh, when told Bridgetyou were going
to strike, she said she thought it would
be q good time for her to strike, too ;
she's gone"
"H'm," said Ned discontentedly, 81
don't see why women want to strike.'
He went out to see his friends, and the
four had merry time at play
"Seems to me it ought to be supper
time," said Tom, as the darkness began
to close in. "Come in, boys. The tea-bell
will ring in q minute, | know"
But the bell did not ring, and before
long Tom made his way to the Kitchen
Darkness and quiet still reigned there.
'Dear me! [ forgot. all about the
STRIKE" he said looking about him in
great dismay.
He went to his mothers room, to find
that she had again gone out. Greatly
mortified at the inhospitable state OF
things, Tom and Ned did their best to
find something fit to set before their visi-
tors. But it was easy to see that no one
had thought of setting q lunch, and
when the Graham boys at length said
"GOOd-bye," our strikers felt that the
visit had been asad failure. They CROPPED
around for lamp, and went to their
room.
"Look at the bed exclaimed Ned.
'ELOok at the whole roomp' said Tom.
1t was, indeed, in pitiful contrast to it's
| usual neatness.
Pillows and sheets lay exactly as the
two had left them after the morning frolic
which usually accompanied their toilet.

"And [ can t find my night shirt. Oh,

81 wonder where mo her is ?" grumbIed
Ned, as he lay down OH the unmade bed.
Mother came in little later, smiled as
she kissed the sleeping boys, patting their
heads as she said, poor, silly little men -
''Is mother on strike, too, I'd like to
knOw?" said Tom, the next morning.

A sineularDamape suit.

PTrsBURG, Pa, Nov. 2l.-lSpecial Tele-
gram to THE BEE, Suit was begun to-
day in the United States court for $4,000
damages against James CummslSey and Ed
ward j. Melley, executors Of the estate of
Dennis O'Harran. The plaintiffs are two
Irish girls, nieces of the testator. In the
year 1894 Dennis O'Harran went from his
home in Lu2erne county on visit to his
brother in county Tyrone, Ireland. He was
very wealthy and had no children. He was
also very much pleased with the pretty faces
of his nieces, and before he left made an
agreement with them. He said if they would
20 to work and learn the millinery and sales
business in a thoroughly good way he would
bring them to this country at his own ex-
pense, provide for them while completing
their trade here, and then would furnish them
with $50, 900 capital to start up in business in
any city they might choose. The girls went
to work. In 1887 they completed their
apprenticeship in Ireland and, true to his
promise, their uncle Dennis OHarran sent
for them to come to this country, and in 1899
they finished their trade in New York. Just
then their uncle died and his will left no pro-
vision for them, hence the suit. In the
meanwhile the girls are working in New
York and are threatening to make it warm
for the defendants in the case.

A MUSEN-E -ENY'S.

The company which opened at the Grand
opera house last night in two nights and
matinee engagement presented Little Lord
Fauntleroy" in very acceptable manner.
The touching and potent points in the popu-
lar story and play were vividly and
truly presented, and were not, as
so frequently happens in child char
acter plays, spoiled by being overdone.
Considering the meagre inspiration that can
be drawn from a sparsely filled house, the
work done by Gerte Homau, who took the
part of Fauntleroy, was quite remarkable.
But one criticism might be justly made upon
her work. In few instances she has been
ever-trained upon the infection. Had the
child been permitted to suit her own sweet
voice to the words in its natural simplicity
the effect would have been more agreeable
and artistic But this defect occurs in but
few of the lines, and her speaking and act
ing are SO excellent in the main that these
few imperfections are scarcely worth men
tioning.
The company is well balanced and clever
throughout. This afternoon Georgia Cooper
will play the part of Fauntleroy.

"A Guthrie Bank Goes Under.

GUTHRIE, Oklahoma, Nov. 81 The Com.
mercial bank of this city, which is the largest
bank in the territory, assigned late last night
for the benefit of creditors. The proprietors
have all left town. The collapse was caus ed
by the failure recently of the Newton, Kan,
National bank. The liabilities and assets can't
be ascertained. A run was made on the other
banks this morning, but it was stopped when
an ample showing of funds was made. The
bank belongs to syndicate, which prac-
tically controls the banks in Newton, Kan,

Today the Guthrie bank suspended and the

an examiner. Nothing has been heard from
the Ell Reno, Normal or Saltwater banks.

HnIdanp'a Debt

In the superior court yesterday in the case
of the New Hampshire banking company the
plaintiffs demurrer TO the answer of the de-
PENDANTS was overruled. The suit was
brought against G. Haldane to recover Sc, 900
on note given by Haldane and his wife to
A. X. Annis. The payment of the note was
guaranteed by George f. Wright and
John N. Baldwin, and they were
made co-defendants with Hadane.
Wright and Baldwin declare in their an
swer that the plaintiff had not used proper
diligence in collecting tie note from Hal
dane, but that, on the contrary, Haldane has
been in the city since the beginning of the
action and that plaintiff has failed to serve
him with notice of the suit, though this might
easily have been done. They assert, more.
over, that Hadane has since the beginning Of
the suit taken property away from the city
which would, if attached, have been suff-
cent to satisfy the note.

Robbed During Her Honey moon.

Yesterday morning handsome, dark eyed
young woman Of slender build and stylishly
dressed, appealed to Justice Barnett fora
personal interview. The justice drove out
the crowd of loungers in his private Office and
was closeted with tho lady for some time.
She told him a very sad story of marital un-
happiness and asked for warrant for the
arrest of her husband on the charge Of steal
ing gold watch that had been given her by
her mother She signed the necessary iu-
formation and the warrant was issued.
The woman was Mrs. Clara Harter. She
said she married her hus band, Harry Hartcr,
in Denver six months ago She says Harter
won her consent to marriage after q short
but ardent courtship, during which he made
a lavish display of money, and spent it freely
He was then flying pretty high as hotel
keeper, representing that he owned a
valuable hotel property at Lavator,
Colo After their marriage in Dem
yer he announced his intention of not return
ing TO Lavator, bat declared that he has sold
the hotel, and was looking around to pur-
chase something about the size of the new
Grand in this city or the Paxton in Omaha.
I hey lived pretty well for short time, and
then his funds began to grow short, and he
had numerous interviews with people who
came to see him from the other Colorado
village. Some of them were accompanied by
deputy sheriffs and constables, and all of
them brought good sized demands for money
She soon found that her new husband had
good reasons for leaving the town, and had
left plenty of unpaid bills behind him. He
informed his wife that there were no hotels
in Denver big enough TO slit his pile, and
persuaded her to come with him to Omaha,
where he thought he could buy or build some
thing that would suit him. After spending "a
few days there he concluded the best oppor-
tunites to get into first class hotel business
could be found in Council Bluffs, and he
brought his wife over here and procured
cheap lodgings for her
She remained here about three weeks, but
was left alone nearly all the time, her hus-
band still industriously persuing his scheme
TO buy full grown hotel. BY this time she
was convinced that the stories he had told
her about himself were all false, that he was
not relative OF apatent medicine man of
the same name and half owner in his busi-
ness, as he had frequently told her. After
pinning him down closely he finally told her
he was simply hotel cook and had no re-
sources to fall back upon but the salary he
could earn i'll the kitchen If he could find
somebody willing TO hire him. Immediately
after coming to Omaha, she says he tele
graphed back that he had committed suicide,
and signed "A fictitious name 70 the message
His creditors did not believe the story, and
one of them came to Omaha and had
him arrested and took him back.
He served a short sentence for
obtaining money under false pretenses.
When he got out of Jail at Lavator he came
direct TO council Bluffs and found his wife.
IL reached here Wednesday, and that night
he robbed his wife OF her gold watch and a
little money she still had Yesterday morn
ing she concluded to have him arrested, and

procured the warrant from Barnetps court.
1t was expected that he would return to this
city, and Constable Covalt was given the
warrant Before he could be arrested, how
ever, his wife had visited Omaha and found
the stolen watch in pawn shop on Farnam
street, where he had secured Sl5 on IL. She
told the pawnbroker that IL had been stolen
from her. and he procured the fellows arrest
by the Omaha police for obtaining money
under false pretenses. He will be brought
to this side and prosecuted for larceny.

DEs MoINEs, Ia Nov, 2l.-l Special Tele
gram to THE BEE. l-Governor Boies and
Warden Mcmillan of the Fort Madison peni
tentiary are having a little controversy over
the length of term of prisoner About a
year and u half ago John Cox, a member of o
respectable family in Monona county was
caught in the act of committing larceny and
was also indicte for another act of the same
nature. Upon the trial in Judge Lewis
court in Sioux City he pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to one year in the state prison
on each charge, both sentences to begin the
same day. The year was up last August, but
he was not released, the warden discovering
that the clerk of the court had made mis-
take in recording the sentences, and on the
fall of the record Cox would have to serve
aDother year Under les al advice he held the
boy. The matter was brought to the notice
of the governor, who ordered the warden to
release the prisoner forthwith, but the order
was disregarded, and yesterday the governor.
in an angry mood, went down to investigate
after having received the assurance of Judge
Lewis that the sentence was intended to be
but for one year. all told. The governors
argument produced no impression upon the
warden and he will likely interfere in the
way of pardon or remittance OF sentence.

Almost a Serious Panic.

CHICAGO, Nov 2l.-A fire in the basement
of the Studebaker building, next to the
auditorium, at a late hour this evening Gre
ated a dense smoke, which, going into the
corridors of the hotel, created quite panic
among the guests, many of whom had retired.
A number of them gathered their effects and
rushed down the Railways, but their fears
were soon allayed by the efforts of employees
The smoke also penetrated the auditorium
theater stage, but not in front of the stage,
and the performers being assured that there
was absolutely no danger, the play went on
with the audience in ignorance Of the prox-
unity of the fire, which was soon extn-
guished with slight loss.
