Until last Wednesday night the commuters
were accustomed to relieve the tcdium OF the
journey by a game OF poker In this room.
TIE stakes wore small. but the interest was
great. To the players and onlookers the sport
derived from the game was worth the railroad
fare at least.
On Wednesday night the commuters pilcd
into the car in bunch. all anxious to secure
good seats in the stateroom. When they
seized hold o, the door knob. the door wouldn'.
open. They shook 1t imrAtlently several
times and then concluded that It had been
locked.
The conductor OF the car was sought out and
an explanation demanded. He informed the
commuters that Charles NJ. Pratt and Herbert
Pratt had requested Superintendent Hilton Of
the parlor car service to reserve that room In
the car for their private use.
The Messrs. Pratt are sons OF the late Charles
Pratt of Brooklyn. They represent Long Island
Railroad stock amounting to atout $500. 900.

LISBON, July 22.-Two hundred men

have been thrown out of work through
the operation of the United States tariff
law, visited the factory and engaged in a
rlotous demonstration The men de-
manded work. and were finally dispersed
by the police. The explanation OF the
demonstration is: Nearly all the cork
for America is exported raw, and the
cork workers wish the authorities to raise
the export duty or raw cork in the hope
that America will admit hand made cork
at a lower duty and thus give employ
ment to the cork workers of this city.

ers visited the factories aud demanded

Eats No More Meat on FRIDAY.

PITrsBURG, Pa, July 22.-Edward
Smith of Etna, this county, is a Protest
ant and a Methodist Eplscopalian, but all
the money. in the world would not tempt
him to eat meat on Friday He is an iron
worker, 50 years of age. Thirty yearsago
be became the victim of a peculiar sort Of
fit, or muscular paroxysm, which came
upon him periodically and for a time
made him act like a maniac md gave him
the strength of a giant. These fits batfled
the skill ofall the physicians he consulted.
Finally, Father Anthony, of the Brother
hood OF St. Paul of the Cross, relieved
him by a series of blessings, but imposed
upon him the renance OF abstainlng from
meat on Fridays as long as he lived. For
a year Mr.. Smith ate nc meat on Fridays
and had no fits. His relatives were afraid
he would turn Catholic, and one Friday
so bantered and badgered him that he ate
a small piece of meat. That day he had
one of the severest attacks of his life, and
for years aiterward continued to be a
victim of the strange disorder. Father
Anthony had meanwhile died and Mr..
Smith obtained no relief until nine years
ago, when he went to Father Mollinger,
the famous healing priest of Troy Hill.
The good father blessed him and again
cast out the devils which had oppressed
him. He also imposed the penalty of
abstaining FROM meat on Friday. Smith
has kept the penance to the letter. and
has not had a seizure since. He frankly
says he doesn't understand the why and
wherefore, but prosposes keeping faith all
his life.
