Over 1000 men employed in the car
shops went out this morning.
In conversation tonight with a striker
he said: The COMPANY for the past three
weeks has been laying of some OF its old

the Knights of Labor. When asked the
reason for Diminishing them they were
told they could not do their work prop
erly. One man has been a machinist in
the car shops twenty years, Another
has been foreman for fourteen years, and
an engineer for six. The men said it was
an effort IN the part OF the company
to break up their organization
This view was strengthened when it was
learned that a Central emissary was in
Utica Saturday last, when the convention
OF district assembly 246 was held, and
had copied from the register of the hote|

Death of an Old Telegraph Operator.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 9.-Jeptha Fl.
Wade, aged 10. one of the wealthiest
citizens, died this morning after an illness
of a few days. He was the first president
of the Pacific Telegraph company and
first president of the Western Union
telegraph, which position be held until
1867. He enjoyed the distinction of be-
ing probably the oldest telegraph operator
in the country, and it was he who
originated the idea of inclosing the sub
marine cable in an iron armor, thus

Waldemar Withdraws From
the Race for a Throne.
The Prince of Wales Taking
an Interest In Politics,
Phelps Gives a Dinner to
Army and Navy Officers.

Copyright, 1880, by N. Y. Associated Press
BERLIN, Aug. 9.-One of the results
OF the interview at Osborne between
Queen Victoria. Emperor William, the
prince of Wales and Lord Salisbury is the
withdrawal Of the candidature Of Prince
Waldemar for the Bulgarian throne for
family reasons, notably the protest of the
king Of Greece.
Under the promptings of Emperor
William the prince Of Wales is beginning
to take a more active part 10 foreign poll
tics.
Tonight's Post gives suggestive promi-
nence to a special London dispatch saying
that just as the emperor's visit to Osborne
in 1888 afforded a starting point leading
to the Anglo-German agreement, and as
the visit Of the prince of Wales to Berlin
was not without a bearing on the treaty.
so foreign Office circles believe there was a
political significance 10 the present
visit OF the kaiser, the out
come of which may astonish
the world. The Posts assertions,
as read here, point to a project of the
kaiser's to obtain the cars assent to an
other Berlin congress concerning the gem
eral European peace compact, implying a
limitation of ornaments. The belief in
official circles here is that the car will
treat the league of peace as a futility I'M
less associated with the restoration OF
russian dominion in the Balkans and the
permanent satisfying OF France. What
eyer the kaiser's peace ideas may be, his
movements tend to strengthen Germany
in the event of war. His visit to Nor
way was Immediately successful in Sc
curing the pledging of Norwegians and
Swedes for the German navy, an ample
supply of fine seamen being thus afforded.

Flower peddlers have adopted a new
wrinkle for gaining entrance to the big
Office buildings In New York. They
have discovered by experience that the
~janitors' employees will not let them ply
their trade If the flowers are carried in
baskets Or IN trays, 30 they now carry
them in japanned tin boxes, like those
used for keeping valuable papers in law
yers' offices. The boxes are kept closed
while the peddlers are in sight of the
employees in the big buildings. The
boxes have another advantage-they keep
the flowers cool and fresh.

Merely a low price is not an evidence of
cheapness in merchandise, and quotations
of clothing prices are of all things most
deceptive. We do not keep what is called
Cheap" clothing. We always have some
garments for men and boys at low prices;
but we get them by marking down the
broken lots and slow selling lots of good
quality. These bargain garments adver-
tise themselves. If you want a serviceable
Overcoat, Suit or odd Coat, Vest or pair
of Trousers for very little money, We can
usually supply much better value than
the price asked would buy in the regular
way. Most people, however, want the
best clothes they can afford to wear, and
our rightly-made garments are intended
TO supplant the custom work. Therefore
you cannot Judge OF the prices without
seeing the clothes.

An Inventors Folly.

A few months ago an inventor of q
certain apparatus of a very simple
character, which could have been
duplicated in many different forms,
was offered $4,000 for the right to a
certain inland town. He was a poor
man and needed the money badly.
The reader supposes, of course, that
the inventor jumped at the chance and
pocketed the money on the spot. Not
he; he told the buyer that the patent
was worth 800, 600, and he was not 90.
ing to sell one town in New York
state for $4,000. The same inventor
was offered similar sum for another
large town in the state, or $40, 900 for
only two cities in the country, but he
refused to take it. We have these
facts from the inventor himself, and
they are correct Before it was too
late to negotiate we berated the man
soundly for his folly, but he was deaf
to all argument. The sequel was that
the inventor never sold a single right,
and has his patent to this day.-Engi-
neering.

If his kind must have remarked that nature
now and then fashions a weakly sort OF brain,
which single glass of small beer viii bemud-
die. In similar way does that by no means
infallible workman sometimes turn out
brain which cannot stand the shock OF strange
or disagreeable tidings. Rector Brent was for
practical purposes tipsy that afternoon Inc
disclosure had got into his head 1t is true
that his legs did not stagger, but his reason
did. He did not know his right hand
from his left, and was prepared to
commit any blunder. While his mind
was in chaos of ideas that whirled round
and about like leaves in an autumnal storm,
he said to himself that something must be
done. An insane something it was which he
fixed upon. He would go straight to Mrs
Temple and tax her with discrimination. The
excited little gentleman never considered that
the lady had not made any statement OF her
age with which she could be confronted. Nor
did his preparation of impending absurdity
stop here Fully resolved as he had been to
propose to the widow, and assured as he had
! felt that she both knew his intention and fav-
orably regarded it, he quite forgot in his
hurry of mind that he had never addressed
her in the way of marriage So he actually
came before her in the posture of betrayed
s1litor. and. as will be SEEN he used language
proper only to that particular part in the hui
man comedy.
But this is leaping from chapter to chapter.
As we close this one let us simply mark our
parson stepping out of his carriage at Mrs.
Barbara Temples door. His breath is hur-
ried, his face is red, his manner is disordered.
And we may be sure that these outward
marks of confusion and annoyance convey
only very inadequate picture of the state of
his reasoning faculties. These were, indeed,
in that state of riot and darkness which in
most cases is the acknowledged preliminary
to bedlam.
