printed when the strike commenced, the
circular in which they declared that on ac-
count of the price of coal and the high
freight rates they were unable to pay union
wages.
''The public, to whom that circular was
sent for the purpose of gaining popular
sympathy, now knows that it was false aud
that the only reason why the union was OPP
posed was that the bosses, who are rich
men, thought they could add to their bank
account by taking slice or two from the
poor mans loaf. They could not reduce
wages without diSrupting our union and
they have done all they eau to disrupt it and
have failed.
''Coal is as high as ever and the foundries
have not only paid union wages since the
strike was started but have imported union
men to take our places. They have proved
that they were we'll able to pay US the wages
we demanded, and we have proved that men

She Writes Her Name on a Crock and

The visit Of Mr.. Il. 7. SchOOp, dealer in
stoneware and queensware at Chattanooga,
Tenn, to Roseville, the thriving stoneware
center of Muskingum County, discloses a
pretty romance, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean. Nearly three years ago Miss Wanda
Y. Burton employed at the pottery works of
KildOw, Dugan IS Co., in an idle and mis-
chievious moment wrote her,name on a two
gallon cooking crock, with a request that
the person into whose hands the utensil
might fall would write to her.
The crock was sent in an order to Texas
dealer for whom SchOop was clerking. Sew

this beginning grew a correspondence which

Mr.. Scnoop started in business for himself
in Chattanooga and has been very success

said will not until Miss Burton becomes Mrs.

REMARKABLE TRAGEDY.
The Way in Which Chicago HOrs
Thief Lost His Life

The Way in Which a Chicago Horse
Thief Lost His Life. =
That was a remarkable tragedy In Chi
cago, in which a horse-thief lost his life.
Two sporting men had been enjoying them
selves buggy-riding with a fine horse. At
late hour they pulled up in front of
saloon. aligEted, leaving the horse attached
by strap to four-pound iron ''hitching-
block" Five minutes alter they had en-
tered the place horse and buggy, driven
with reckless speed, dashed down Dearborn
avenue, and on to the viaduct approaching
the bridge. The driver dashed his horse to
high speed; shouts of warning were
sent after him; the danger light at
the open draw was burning. But
he heard and saw it all too late.
Horse, driver and buggy dashed into
the open draw and sank III the river. Driver
and horse were drowned. The dead horse
and buggy were pulled TO shore; the dead
man had sunk out of sight. The explana-
ton OF it Is that when the horse and buggy
were in front OF the saloon an expert horse
thief was standing near. He cut the strap
to the htching-b block, got into the buggy,
drove the hor5e rapidly away, and he was
the man WHO found for himself and the
stolen horse watery death in the open
draw of the bridge. Truly it was, as the
Chicago journal says, one Of the most re-
| markable characteristic criminal tragedies
| for which Chicago is peculiar-as simple a s
taking bath, and as terrible as any mid
| night horror could be.-BaltimoIe Sun.
