Berlin People Being Taken in by an

BERLIN, Feb 16.-The Berliners are
being fooled to the top Of their bent just
now by clever Yankee woman who
has mastered the art of magnetism or
mesmerism, or whatever you please to
call it, and has introduced many novel
features into the business of producing
remarkable manifestations of apparent
~ immaterial force. The demonstration
calls herself Flossie Blanche, and per-
haps owes part of her success to her
good looks. At any rate the Concordia
theatre, whe.e she illustrates nightly
the wonders of physic force, is too small
to hold the throngs that flock to see and
hear the charming American, who will
carry away many thaler, as a SOU
venir of her lucky visit to the German
capital,

Although Bill Nye is considered a
humorous writer many of his quaint
remarks carry the true ring to them.
He says: A man may use wart on the
back of his neck for a collar button;
ride on the back coach of railroad
train to save the interest on his mon
ey until the conductor comes around;
stop his watch nights to save wear
and tear; leave his ''i'' or st" without
dot or cross to save ink; pasture his
mothers grave to save corn; but a
man of this sort is a gentleman and
scholar compared to the fellow who
will take newspaper two or three
years, and when asked to pay for it,
put it into the office ard has it mark

A gentleman who has been around
horses for great many years and
made them study says that the
dumb animals are great sufferers
from toothache. He says that the
real cause Of so many runaways on our
streets should be attributed to tooth
ache instead of viciousness. Horses
teeth are subject to decay and many
times owners Of the animals neglect
to look after them properly Here is
point that should be considered.

Most people in clear day can,
without watch or other timepiece,
closely approximate an idea of the
time of day by the position of the
sun, but few, perhaps, have guessed
any similar method of computing the
time during the night without any
other means than the ''starry skies. .
notwithstanding, fairly reliable
time indicator can be found in the
northern skies on each cloudless
night, says the Mechanical Meas: AS
is generally known, the group of fix
ed stars called the "Dipper," makes
and apparent revolution toward the
North star in every twenty-four
hours, with the two stars forming the
outer elevation of the bowl of the
dipper pointing nearly directly to the
polar star continuously.
If the position of the pointers" is
taken at any given hour, say o'clock
in the evening in the winter time and
as soon as it is dark in the summer,
Che hour can thereafter be pretty ac-
curately measured by the eye during
the night. Frequent observation Of
position will have to be made at the
given hour, as, owing to the constant
changing of the earth's position in
space, the position of the pointers
in relation to our point of observation
and the star also change. Observa-
tions taken during year and i'm
pressed on the mind will make very
good time indicator of that part of
celestial space.

STARVING,
The Families of the Hungarians Who
Did Not Heed the Warning.

The Families Of the Hungarians Who
Did Not Heed the Warning.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 10. - Men,
women and children are starving in
Homestead as result Of the lockout.
All of them are Hungarians. Not so
thrifty as their fellow-workmen of other
nationalities, they paid little attention
to the warnings of the coming rainy
day, and basked in the sunshine of pro-
crastination until too late. The wages
paid Hungarians are not princely; their
weekly stipends We're eaten away in the
purchase of necessities of life. When
the lockout began the great majority of
them found themselves without means
of subsistence, while it took little time
to make the savings of the few thrifty
ones disappear.
Most of the Hungarians have habita-
tions in houses built by the Carnegie
company near the idle mills. They are
well housed, but food is not to be had.
The refusal of the leaders to accept out
side contributions of money to carry on
the fight practically makes the condition
of the hungry Hungarians hopeless and
realizing this, many Of them have left
town to seek work elsewhere. A large
number of the Hungarians here were
workers in the coke regions during the
great strike there and they know what it
is to look into the barrels of rifles held in
the hands of the state militia The fear
that trouble would ensue with the ar
rival of the national guards was a
greater inducement to some to leave
Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1892-07-14

HomesIead-oie tiiat has left crimson
page in the story of wage disputes, and
the end is not yet. The working people
are just where they were before the
Carnegie people assumed charge of their
contest here. The next turn to be
taken by the company will be watched
with interest.
The people here are nervous, anxious,
but they are content with their first vic
tory, and they seem anxious for another
tussle with capital, their ancient enemy.
If the unfortunate Pinkertons, who were
glad to throw themselves upon the work
mems mercy, are allowed to go un-
harmed tonight, there is not likely to be
any trouble here for at least twelve
hours, and what tomorrow will bring
forth in the way of disturbance depends
largely on the course pursued by the
Carnegie company.
1t seems a miracle that so few lives
were lost, in view of the fact that 1900
men were constantly under fire from
rifles, pistols, dynamite bombs and the
one cannon in the place, and that the
workmen were enraged and made DIES
perate by the presence of the Pinkertons,
who to the labor world are firebrands in
time of peace and war.
II was a desperate battle, which
stretched itself out like riot for fifteen
hours. The dead and dying will evel
stand as ghastly monuments of the dis
aster; yet Homestead is to be congratu
lated that the calamity was not more
widespread.
Shortly after midnight Wednesday
night the Pinkertons were taken to Pitts
burg by Sheriff McCleary on a specia,
train. Later they were sent east on 6
special train. They came from Philadel
phia and New York.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 12.-The ques-
ton as to the disposition of the arms and
ammunition now in the possession Of
the mill men is causing them some anxi-
ETY.. 1t is known that several hundred
Winchesters taken from the captured
Pinkertons and relics of the strikes three
years ago are in the hands of the men,
and it is reported that there is not only
large quantity of ammunition stored
at convenient points but that dynamite
is also in their possession.
The cellar of the headquarters build
ing is securely locked and the entrance
has this placard nailed upon it: enc
person allowed to open this door,"
In addition to this sentry is sta
toned where he can guard the door
night and day. 1t is known that un-
armed men have entered the headquar.
ters building and left with arms.
No indications of an attempt to re-
move arms and ammunition to places Of
safety have been observed but the affairs
of the men are in the hands of leaders
who are too shrewd to be caughtnappine
and these matters may have been at
tended to before the movement of the
troops.

Mhnt WIN DE the Outcome.


HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 12.-Conserva-
tive men among the strikers when asked
II they believe the Carnegie company
will attempt to place non-union men in
the works under cover of the militia,
shake their heads obviously and do not
care to discuss the matter. Opinion
seems to be general that Mr.. Frick will
not let his mills remain idle if he can
possibly help it..
Ii he places non-union men in charge
after the militia arrive no one can fore
tell the result with accuracy; but it is
probable that the sight of thousands of
soldiers will be sufficient inducement to
the strikers to let the non-union men
alone. But the strikers know that the
state troops can not remain in charge of
the mills for any great length of time.
When they are withdrawn trouble
will surely ensue if non-union men re-
main, and the trouble will be of Sc
rious character. 1t has been openly de-
clared that non-union men shall not run
the works; the leaders have sanctioned
this idea. There is no doubt that the
Homestead trouble has not neared set
