A STRIKE IMMINENT.

The Master builders of -. Louis N'p"H'-
tate Their Concessions to Carpenters.
Sr Torrs. Nav > \ homhsllcll was
thrown into the camp of the Brother
hood of Carpenters and JoIn"rs tins
evening by the announcement that at u
meeting of the Master Builders associ-
alton this afternoon that orgHni~a,
ton had rcpudiatcd their demand
of concessions to the car
penters for forty cents per hour and
eight hours a day, and had passed a res
olution declaring that they would pay
but s3 per day for eight hours work.
The master builders declare this rcsOlu-

accept it. it is probable that Monday will
see one Of the most disastrous strikes

MosT cooperative schemes are capable
OF being worked out to success only on
paper, but Harvard university has dem.
onstrated that cooperation may be
succe asfully practiced when intelligence
guides and selfish ambition does not
play too prominent a part. The annual
report of this Harvard cooperative So
ciety, which has just been published,
gives some interesting and instructive
data. The society was started seven
years ago with the idea Of supplying the
wants OF students at cost from one
central agency and now embraces a
large majority of the students in the
university. The entire business is man
aged by the students themselves after
the manner Of the army and navy and
civil service cooperative stores in Lon
don. The transactions OF the Harvard
society for the past year amounted to
over $4,000. The net profits were
So,353 and the dividends paid to mem
bers amounted to $1,000. In adj
dltlon to this the students got
their supplies at the lowest whole
sale rates and the individual saving
to members was considerable. The only
people who do not ENJOY the enterprise
are the Cambridge and Boston shop
keepers, who find their business falling
off.

The fact should not be lost sight of.
however, that the condition of finances
at European money centers has re-
tarded business enterprises in this
country. So far as the United States is
concerned all the conditions exist here
for a period of great prosperity. The
time is near at hand when the scantv
crops in Europe will all be consumed
and a big demand for our own surplus
products will set in. Dun's review re-

Some duels that never came off are good
in their way. Two Georgia gentlemen had
a dispute over & worthless piece of land
agreed to meet. each to wear a piece of
white pal or over his heart to serve as a
bulPs-eye, the survivor to have the privil-
eye of cutting off the others head and set
ting it on a pole on the disputed land, Be-
tore the formal meeting came off, as ar
fanged Tor, a casual encounter settled it.
and the younger was brought home and
buried on his mothers plantation outside
of the disputed boundary.
Some American duels with knives ara re-
ported. the parties being dashed together by
their left wrists. One Illinois man. who
was challenged by a Mississippian, caused
the child OF the sunny south to back down
by naming those terms. In another GEO.
tional difference a Yankee fixed on axes in
q locked room as the weapons and condi-
tions, and tho meeting did not come off. A
little quartermaster's clerk, who barely es-
capped being a dwarf, backed down an army
officer BY naming the army musket with
fixed bayonet for weapon, and the officer
was sent hrst to coventry and afterward 10
the front, where he did better. One Amer
lean duel was fought Indianwise, by start
ing the two men with rifles from opposite
sloes OF a WOOD to hunt each other. One
drew lis opponents fire by the trick Of
showing his cap from behind the trunk Of a
tree, a trick so simple that the other could
not believe that a fellow-woodsman would
try to play 1t on him.

THE young men and women OF Helena,
and Of Montana in general, ought to in
dulge more in outdoor winter sports.
Our climate during the greater part Of
the winter is an ideal one and the
rising generation in particular ought to
get the full benefit OF it. We should
have more skating ponds. They arc
easily made and kept, and the school
children should be encouraged to visit
them. Perhaps if some of our hardy
Scotch friends would set the fashion by
inagnrating a few good old fashioned
curling contests we should see a general
revival OF these winter sports.
