THE COTTON PICKERS
ARE ORDERED OUT ON A GENERAL STRIKE
UNLESS THEY RECEIVE ONE DOL
LAR PER HUNDRED.

Ian Ehh NJ. NOhEDs
HoUsToN, TEX, September 6.-The
biggest agricultural strike in the history
of the world is imminent
If it takes place the matured cotton
will rot in the fields.
This is brought about by the Colored
Farmers Alliance of the United States.
And the order goes into effect on Sat
urday next!
HALF A MILLION MEN.
This organ ration has been perfected
through colOred alliances, and numbers
more than half million with thousands
being added every day throughout the
Southern States. Col r. NJ. Humphry,
general superintendent of the colored
alliance, admitted the existence of this
organization, saying it had been induced
by the organization some time ago of
planters and merchants in certain sec
TONS notably Memphis and Charleston,
to reduce the price for picking to very
low standard, and that the cotton pickers
had combined to project themselves from
this dictation, and he thought they
would be able to do so.
CIRCULARS SENT OUT.
1t is learned that secret circular has
been mailed at Houston to every subali-
ance throughout the cotton belt, fixing
the date when the strike of cotton pick
ers will be simultaneously inaugurated,
and how it shall be conducted.
THE FACTS COME OUT.
The headquarters of the Colored Nation.
al Alliance of the United States is in this
city. Colonel Il. M. numphry, general
superintendent of the ColOed Farmers
Alliance and Cotton Piclers' League, has
been actively at work in organizing the
colorod men for general strike all over
the south.

a POlyneSian Legend.

Tura, coming from over seas, found
himself in a land named Otea, and
leaving his canoe, jOurneyed inland.
Travelling through the dense forest,
he saw fairies sitting in the flowers OF
the climbing plants and swinging on
the llianas which trailed from the
high boughs across the vistas of the
wool. These fairies were curiOusly-
shaped beings, having small heads and
large bodies, while their hands and
feet were attached to limbs so short
that they seemed as if extruding from
their bodies. Tura had brought with
him the sticks wherewith fire is pro-
due, Il by friction. and he proceeded to
kindle q fire and to cook some food,
much to the astonishment OF the
fairies. who had always consumed their
food in its natural state. Tura fell in
love with one of the fairy women and
married her. His wife reciprocated
his affection and they lived happily
together: but one day when the elfin
spouse was combing out her husbands
hair, she suddenly cried out, "Oh,
Tuia. what is this white hair among
the black ones:" He told her that it
was sign of age and approaching
decay. the forerunner of death. Then
his wife wept bitterly and refused to
be comforted. 1t is touching story,
the sudden surprise and grief of this
child of the immortals on her discovery
of that which to us poor sons of clay is
so common and ohtrusive fact. The
old legend has given rise to proven
bal saving. The weeds of Tura," as a
Synonymous expression for gray hair.

Yor shall not bc shaved by public

statutory chestnut the other day, and
this is what Chief Justice Paxton said :
ave are now asked to say that shaving
is work of necessity and therefore
within the exceptions of the act of 1894.
1t is perhaps as much necessity as
washing the face, taking bath, or per.
forming any other act of personal clean
liness. 4 man may shave himself, or
have his servant or valet shave him. on
the Lords day, without . violation OF
the act of 1894. But the keeping open
of his place of business on that day by
barber and following his worldly en-
ployment of shaving his customers is
quite another matter, and while We con-
clude that it may be great convenience
to many persons, we are not prepared
to say. as question of law, that it is an
act Of necessity within the meaning OF
