RUDYARD KIPLING's BoYaooD.
How the Popular Young Writer Ac-
quired the Yorkshire Dialect.

How the Popular Young Writer Ac-
CURED the Yorkshire Dialect.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The Rev. w. j. Dawson, writing upon
Hudyard Kipling, rejoices in the discovery
that Mr.. Kipling's grandparents on both
sides were Wesleyan ministers "Rud-
yards father" continues Mr.. Dawson, sis e
man Of great ability, who held an impor-
tant position as art director in India,
and. of course, this explains the
sons perfect knowledge of the tech
nlcailties OF art. Years ago he was
an artist in Pinder, Bourne 81
Co.'S, now Doulton's, works at Burslem.
Near Burslem is a pretty village named
Rudyard, of which the Kiplings were very
fond. and it was from this circumstance that
Kudyard kipling received his first name.
Mr.. Nphng, ST., is at present decorating q
ceiling for the queen at Windsor, and has
in preparation book dealing with the pict-
uresque life of India. Among his gifts is
mimiery. and those who have heard him tell
YORKSHIRE story have been amazed at his
perfect mastery of the dialect. Here, then,
is further explanation of that extraordi-
nary mastery OF dialect displayed in the
stories Of the son.
From childhood" continues Mr.. Daw-
son, he has heard the dialect of the dales,
and Learoyd owes something to the father
as well as the son. It would be interesting
to say more on this theme, but perhaps
scarcely expedient. One story, 'Ba, Ba,
Black Sheep impressed me as singularly
powerful, and asked my informant
whether the picture it gave of the child
sent home from India TO the frigid home of
Aunt Rosy was not from the life
The reply was that it was per-
feet bit of Rudyard Kipling's
own biography. This desolation of
childhood was his. Another story dealing
with the life OF the Yorkshire dales, which
appeared in Macnsilldns, amazed York
shiremen by the truth of its colorlng, es-
pecially as it was stated that its author had
never resided in Yorkshire. we know now
that as boy he spent some time In York
shire. and in his fathers "reminiscences he
would have perpetual fund of material
for similar sketches. When the time comes
for fuller statement the public win prob~
ably be surprised to find how strong is the
personal and photographed element in
all Rudyard Kipling's works.

THIRTY SIX MEN GO OUT.
MACHINIsTs QUIT WORK AT THE
CENTRAL SHOPS.

A Quarrel Between a Machinist and
a Negro and Master Mechanic Antz's
wRefusal to Discharge the Latter the
Cause of the Strike-The Strikers
Claims-The Matter in the Hands OF
the American Machinists' Associa-
ton.
Thirtv-six machinists in the Central rail-
road shops went out at 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon pending the settlement of diff
ference between them and Master Machin-
ist Oscar ANTI.
The trouble, according to the machin-
lists, began Monday in a quarrel be-
tween a negro employee in the motive de-
partment and machinist named Wagner,
who was working on an engine in the
roundhouse. The negro placed a
freight car door in front of
the machine on which Wagner was
working. Wagner demonstrated and re-
ouested its removal. The negro refused to
move it.
Wagner threw the door down. The
negro set it up again. until finally 1t got to
a test between the negro and Wagner
whether the door should stay up or down.
The negro, being the stronger OF the two,
came out ahead.
REPORTED TO THE OFFICIALS.
Wagner went TO Assistant Master Ma
chinist w. o. Charlton and then to Master
Machinist ANTI, but according to the
machiuists, got no satisfaction. He finally
went to Assistant Superintendent of Motive
Power Gibbs, who said he would take the
matter under consideration and
would give his decision at 9
O'Clock yesterday morning. which he
failed to do Several Of the men went again
to Mr.. ANTI, who told them that he would
investigate the matter himself and would
confer with them at 8 o'clock in the after
noon, at which hour the men again waited
ON him. Mr.. Antz's reply was not satisfac-
tory. He finally told them he could give
them no positive information, and asked
them if they were on strike. he was told
they were not.
REFUSED TO WORK.
He then sent to the machine shops and
directed Machinist John Circoply to go
into the roundhouse and take the mems
places The men refused to go to work
until the matter between Wagner and the
negro was settled. Upon Circoply's
refusal to go to the roundhouse he was
discharged.
The machinists demanded his reinstate-
ment, which was refused, and they quit
work. The matter is now in the hands of
the American Association of Machinists.
THE RAILROADS SIDE.
Supts McBee and Starr and Assistant
Superintendent of Motive Power Ebbs are
out of the city, and Master Machinist ANTI
could not be seen last night What the
outcome of the trouble will be remains to
be seen. An effort at adjustment will be
made to-day. in the hope that the
men may be induced to resume work.
They say, however, they win stay out until
the differences between Machinist Wagner
and the officials are settled. The machinists'
association is powerful organization and
if the men are sustained in the strike they
will fight it out.

NJ. g. Baker Gives a Thief a Lively
Reception.

M. 6. Baker Gives a Thief q Lively
Reception.
A bold attempt at burglary was made at
the residence of Marcus 8. Baker, No. 175
Waldburg street. yesterday morning about
o'clock.
Mrs. Baker heard some one creeping on
the roof and woke her husband. He
got his pistol, and, following the
direction Of the noise. saw through
q glass door the figure of a man
outside the bathroom moving toward
the piazza. He had been in a stoopin z
position, and as he raised himself upright,
Mr.. Baker leaned out of the bathroom
window and fired at him. The ball seemed
to take effect, for, with groan, the would
be burglar dropped over on the piazza.
Another shot fired just as he landed
seemed to hit him also, for he jumped to
the ground, a distance of twenty feet, and
scurried across the yard Mr.. Baker
gave him two parting shots just
as he disappeared around the corner of the
yard. MIR. Baker says he was not able to
get good look at the robber, but he thinks
he was negro. He is confident that two
of the pistol shots took effect.
This is the third attempt at burglar y
that has been made at Mr.. Bakers resi-
dence within a week, and that gentle
man believes that they were made
by the same party. On each
Of the other occasions the thieves wei @
frightened off before robbery was accom-
plished.
