A Cooperative Association Assisting the
Boycotters.
Bakers Union, No. "a, has prepared and
published an answer to statement recently
made by the master bakers concerning the
Westerfeld Bakery. They say that six of
the firms who signed the Master Bakers
Associations statement are not members of
the association, and know nothing about the
matter. Some of the other siguers have, in
times past, taken sides with the union
against Westerfeld. They have condemned
Westerfeld and have Endorsed the demand
of the union for the abolition of Sunday
work.
As an Offset to the statement of the bosses,
the j0urneymen givs the names of twenty
four boss bakers who are with them in their
conflict with WeSterfeld.
The Cooperative Bakers Association met
last night, and decided to abandon for the
present their intention of starting a cooper
alive shop but to use their funds and influ-
ence in assisting the Westerfeld boycotters.

Four Employers Refuse to Adopt the
Nine-Hour Day.
The announcement by the HorSe-shoers'
Union that all the shops in which members
of the organization are employed would in
augurate the nine-hour day on May 1st was
somewhat premature. The proprletOrs of
four shops refused to grant the reduction
demanded, and in three of these establish
ments the journeymen are on strike. In
the fourth a non-uniOn journeyman was
employed. aud he refused to desert his
forge.
Peter Lynch, who has a shop at the
corner of Beale and Mission streets, was
one of the four employers who refused to
grant the unions demands on May 1st, but
he has since promised to take back one of
the two jOurneymen who left him, and will
oblige him TO work but nine hours per day.
The other shops at which the demands of
the union were opposed are Tierney 81 Nc

The MendeIssohns.


At the Metropolitan Temple, last evening
this favorite and long established musical
organization gave the first of a series of
three concerts, with which they propose to
entertain the music-lovers of our city. We
wish the coming Of the Mendelssohns had
been at Eastertide, as was originally contem-
plated, before the hubbub of the Bernbardt
and the Presidential festivities, and also the
mild Juror that Divide Musin recently created,
because the musical merit of the company
would then have had the full recognition it
deserves, and which it cannot have now in
the somewhat distracted state of public at
tentiGn. As il is, however, those who were
present at the Temple-and there was a
goodly number-have no reason to regret
their attendance. They heard delightful
music, both vocal and instrumental the re-
membranee of which cannot soon fade from
the mind. The following programme was
rendered.:

The concerted music of the MendelsSohns
has long been accepted as the best of it's
kind to be heard from travelling OrganiZa-
tons. Thus the Mayseder and Gernsheim
quintets and the intermeZZo were as perfect
as skill and long practice could make them,
and Rya0. Henueberg, Jennis0n and Schultz

urging them to specify that California nails
shall be used in all buildings for which they

The reason for this movement in favor of
protection to a home industry Is said to be
that many contractors who were obliged to
purchase nails in the East during the recent
strike at Emeryville continue to do so now
that the strike is settled, and the result is
that the industry is suffering severely.

The shocking testimony at the state
house which went TO show that we are
poisoning ourselves 20 death with our
wall paper, our paper boxes and n
dozen other articles Of daily use which
contain arsenic, has been talked about
n great deal lately, even at 8 o'clock
teas, when people generally balance
their cups in the air and talk about
nothing at all. There is n broad sug-
gestion for fiction writers in this matter.
For instance, the testimony at the state
house showed that lady had been
dangerously poisoned by a green paper
box that she kept on a shelf IN her
sleeping room. Now II one wants 20
commit suicide quietly, what better
way than TO have paper of undoubted-
ly arsenic colors pasted upon ones
walls, and leave some green paper
boxes lying carelessly about ones
rooms and wear clothes that are dyed
with arsenic2
Or if any lady wants to murder an
other, for instance, let her send her
present of a handsome new bonnet In
a green paper box which is heavily
charged with arsenic and so prepared
as to transfer its deadly elements TO the
atmosphere of the room at once. OF
course the recipient Of the bonnet
would keep the box around for several
days, and meantime the deadly work
would be done. 1t is rather strange
that this method of destruction has not
been hit upon before. Murderers and
novelists are slow TO utilize the resour.

Education of Women in India.

The native women of India have no

now get from the Zenana missionaries
and it is quite pathetic to see gray
haired, toothless old women struggling
to learn the alphabet of their own Ian
guage.
But in spite of these rigid old Gus
toms, founded on the barbaric idea
''might is right" the true worth of
women will always come to the front

plicity of design, the first in the whole

by her husband, the Emperor Shah

The famous Tai Mahal is of pure
white marble, and beneath the perfect
shaped dome lies the tomb itself, which
is richly carved and inlaid with pre-
cious stones, as are also the interior
walls. The emperor had the grave
shut in by four large gates of solid sill
