THE STRIKERS ANGRY.

SCoTTDALE pa April 1.-The strikers
are very angry over the news that 500
Pinkerton men will be placed on guard
IN this region tomorrow. Their coming
means further trouble, which will GER
talnly follow, owing to the hatred in
which they are held.
Il meeting of the Executive Board of
the Mlne-W Workers this evening made
preparation in financial and other ways
to prolong the fight.
rive hundred or six hundred Italians
are also ON the way here to take the places
OF the strikers, and this causes more bit
terneSS.

noted Socialist named Jones is coming

DETROIT, April 21.-Some of the lines
OF the Detroit street railway are COM
pletely tied up this morning, and others
are running under police protection, as
the retult Of the strike of $50 conductors
and drivers

officials refusing to reconsider their de-
clsIon in regard to the discharge of sew

vised.

company asserts that the backbone OF
the strike is broken, and that they will

That Silver Letter.

Following is the full text of exPresi-
dent Cleveland's now famous letter to
the New York Reform Club:
I have this afternoon received your note
inviting me to attend tomorrow evening Il
meeting called for the purpose of vo1clng
the opposition of the business men OF our
city to the free coinage of silver in the
United States.
[ shall not be able to attend and address
the meeting, as you request; but am glad
that the business interests of New York
are at last to be heard on this subject.
1t surely cannot be necessary for me to
make a formal expression of my agree
ment with those who believe that the
greatest perils would be invited by the
adoption of the scheme contained in the
measure now pending in Congress for an
unlimitrd coinage of silver at our minis.
If we have developed an unexpected ca
pacity for the consumption of a largely in
creased volume of this currency, and even
if We have demonstrated the usefulneS of
such an increase, these conditions fall far
short of insuring us against disaster, if in
the present situation we enter upon the
dangerous and reckless experiment of
free, unlimited, and independent silver
coinage. Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

School Teachers in the Boom City Wait
for Their Pay.
The Mutual Life Insurance Company,
of New York, has brought suit against
the ST. Paul Board of Education and the
city of st. Paul, to recover $4,000. No
vember 7, 1889, the Board Of Education
borrowed, through E. w. Peet, the
resident agent Of the Mutual, $35, 600
at per cent, payable in one year. On
November y, 1889, another $35, 900 was
borrowed on the same terms, and ON
February 10, 1890, the board secured
$4,000 more of the same company. For
this money certificates of indebted
ness issued by the board, signed
by President Haas and Secre
tarv White, and countersigned by
Comptroller Roche, for the city.
The board has had no money credited
to it for some time, and on February l
the city corps OF teachers were unable
to secure their salaries. 1t is not gener-
ally believed, however, that the city is
in serious financial distress, and it is
probable that the money will be forth
coming in the next few days to meet all
present needs

A Private Banker Skips with Lots of

A Paris dispatch of the 10th says: ga
decided sensation has been caused in
financial circles here by the disappear
ance of well-known banker, who is
known to have left debts to the amount
of 100000 behind him, and who
may have committed suicide The
bankers name is NJ. Victor Mace,
and his private bank was located in the
Rue Cadet. He seemed to have been
well-known in the world of finance
previous to opening the bank in the
Rue Cadet, some five years ago. He
began business there by offering to pay
high interest for deposits, this interest
in many cases averaging 10 per cent.
monthly or 12O per cent. year.
He sent out pile upon pile Of cir
culars in Paris and throughout
the provinces, and fitted up his
offices in elegant style. Every
thing about the establishment seemed
to breathe an air of wealth and refine
ment, luxury and solidity. In addition
NJ. Mace was a perfect conversationalist,
and good Judge of men and women.
His plausible offers, strict punctuality
in fulfilling all business engagements,
and the prompt manner in which he
paid the high interest promised on all
deposits gradually drew numerous
clientele. At the time of his disap-
pearance from this city it was estimated

1t appears that a somewhat morbid
custom exists among the Vienuese of
having the dead bodies of children and
other persons dear TO them photographed,
and for this purpose the corpse used to
be taken to the photographers studio.
The attention of the sanitary authorities
having beer drawn to the danger of the
dissemination of infectious diseases by
this practice, a decree has been issued by
the Austrian minister of the interior alb
s~olutely %forbidding the photographing of
corpses in studios open to the public, and
the photographing of bodies of persons
who nave died of any infectious disease
by professional photographers, even in
private houses.
Exception is made of cases in which
such photographs may be required for
police or m~edico-legal purposes. In the
case of persons who have died of nom
infectious disease, the corpse may be
photographed at the private residence of
the deceased, subject to the approval and
on the responsibility of the medical Of
fetal whose duty it is to verify deaths.

Read the List Over Carefully and
Make Your Choice Before it
is Too Late.

We desire to cloFe out all OF our pre-
NUNS this mouth. and in order to do 81

exception to this rule is where subscribers
have taken the trouble to save the pre-
MUM coupons" We make the exception
only because we advertised to give some

as We agree. Twenty-Five coupons from
THE DAILY LEADER or ten from the
WEEKLY will secure any premium that
raging one dollar in advance will secure.
If you have no coupons her you must
pay the specified time in advance. These
are our terms and it will be useless to ask
for any others.
As the number OF premiums is a little
less than 400 and the circulation of The
DAILY and WEEKLY LEADER combined
amounts to over l 400 it will be seen that
there are not enough premiums for all
subscribers. IN giving them out we shall
follow the rule of first come first served.

~raisers who are working tor the prizes to

The city of the future in a country
where cities are not left to accrete by
chance, but are laid out with some re-
gard to their possibilities, will undoubt-
edly be planned with definite regard to
its ultimate architecture. 1t is because
Washington was thus laid out and Bos-
ton was not that Washington promises
to be the most symmetrical and the
handsomest city in the world, while Bos-
tonr remains and will always remain an
agglomeration of straight and
crooked cowpaths. New York, in some
respects the most unfortunate of all
American cities, owing to its longitud-
inal limitations, is forcing attention to
this fact with increasing poignancy every
day.
Suppose for a moment that New York
had been planned as any great modern
structure is planned-that is to say, by
beginning at the cellar. Suppose it had
a sub-story, and in great part a roof
Does any one fail to see that such pro-
vision would relieve it of difficulties that
are never ending?-Nym Crinkle in New
York Recorder.
