MISUSE OF THE FAN.


The Damage They Cause in the Hands OF
ThOughtless Persons.
Talk about the early martyrs said
a lady, as she came sout of a crowded
concert room the other evening. "They
are absolutely nothing to me. Here l
am, just up from an attack of influenza,
and I'll warrant myself to have another
attack, and all for the selfish stupidity
of one old woman with a fan. 1 wish
people had more consideration or sense
or something" and the speaker stopped
to sneeze and pull her wraps closer
about her throat
And she sat there by your side and
waved one of those great, strong, gusty
fans, creating breeze like young
whirlwind, until you are all of a chill,
l suppose" said her friend.
Indeed, yes, and the more / pulled
up my scarf the harder she famed

didn't like to ask her to stop, for she
hadn't a specially inviting countenance.
And l have taken n severe cold, for
every bone in my body aches. think

can mend statues or build more, but
there isn't any remedy, that know Of,
when once we are dead from some
body's carelessness or indifference"
"But it is easy enough to use a fan
so as to disturb no one; wave it gently
forward and back, never from side to
side. see no reason why people
should make their neighbors uncom-
Portable by such acts, when a little
sense and consideration would make
every one comfortable. 1 think there
are very few delicate persons who have
not at some time in their lives suffered
from the too vigorous waving of fan
in their vicinity Indeed, anyone, how
ever well, is seriously exposed to colds
if, on coming into an assembly, often
quite heated from hurried walking, a
current of air from a fan is directed
across the neck and shoulders. l have
made up my mind that anyone who is
careless or inconsiderate enough to use
fan to my discomfort is suitable sub
ject for reprimand, and that then and
there she will get tn. Y. Ledger.

THE PARIS STRIKE.
It is Purely Fight for the Life of Labor
UniOniSm.

It is Purely a Fight for the Life of Labor
UniOnism.
PARIS, July 20.-An immense meeting
of railway employees, comprising those
already on strike and a large number
who, will go out tomorrow, was held
during the day, with the. usual inflamma-
tory speeches denouncing the railway
officials and declaring that the strik 9
would last until the smallest detail of
the demands made by the men shall be
conceded by the companies.
The issue in the contest is sharply
drawn and admits of nocompromise It
is purely a fight for the life of labor
unionism on the part of the men and a
fight for its death on the part of the
companies.
The trouble grew. out of the frequent
and wholesale dismissals by fthe compa-
MES of employees, invariably members
of the various labor unions. Whether
the selecting of men for dismissal was
made designedly from the ranks of the
unionists, the officials would not say,
though they were repeatedly pressed to
do so

READY FOR THE BIG FIGHT,
COrbett win Probably Referee the HALL
FltxsimmonS Fight.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 20. Sporting
men are arriving on every train to wit
ness the Fitzsimmons-Hall fight Wedn es-
day night for the worlds middleweight
championship.
The referee has not yet been selected,
but 1t is stated by those in charge of the
arrangements that it will be Jim Cor
oett of California, who has just arrived.
There was some objection to Joe Man
nix, who has been referee in most of the
contests Of the Twin City Athletic Club,
but for what reason Is not known. The
probability is that it was thought he
was not strong enough to separate the
fighters in clinch.
Betting is becoming lively around the
hotels and pool rooms, most of it being
in favor of Fitzsimmons, and ranging ali
the way from 500 to $50 down to $50 to
$25.
Some large bets are also being made
by sporting people who have seen Fitz
training at White Bear Lake.
A horseman who is here to-day placed
81, 500 to 81, 200 on FItz, and says he has
more of the same kind of money.
John Mcdonald, a friend Of Hall, is
backing him strongly, Int it is doubtful
II he will stick up to it until the day of
the fight.
Tomorrow night Harris Martin, the
BLACK Pearl' of Minneapolis and Joe
Ellingsworth Of New York will fight to q
finish at 154 pounds for 81, 500 before the
Twin City Club. The men are evenly
matched and should furnish a great
battle. The event takes place the even
ing before the Hall -Fitzsimmons fight and
nearly all who intend making the trip
to the big mill will be on hand to see the
Martin -Ellingsworth 60.

ing In Russia
NEW York, July 20.-Thirty detained
immigrants, all Russian Jews, are await
ing the decision of the Superintendent OF
immigration. One of them, Mendel
Rogalski, aged 20, carpenter by trade.
tells pitiAble tale of his adventures and
sufferings in Russia.
He became a suspect while working at
his trade in Riga, and to escape Siberia,
which was inevitable in the event of his
capture, he fed from city to city, but
was constantly pursued. He was finally
taken prisoner, beaten and in other ways
treated most inhumanly, and prepared
for Siberia.
He again escaped, and after much suf-
fering and great hardships reached Ham
burg, from whence he was assisted to
this country. His savings of six years
were taken from him by his captors in
Russia, and he came here penniless, hence
his detention. He is very much affected
to find that he will be returned to Europe
after all his sufferings and arduous efforts
to reach America. He says If he is caught
in Russia again he will surely be put to
death. The other immigrants tell similar
stories.
The Jewish societies have taken hold Of
these cases, and it is likely that they will
succeed in getting permission for their
lending
