A Postomce Strike.

All the clerks in the postofice at Van
couver, B. g., went out on strike Mon
day. The trouble has been expected
for some time. The postoffice here is
"farmed" by the postmaster, who, by
keeping down salaries, makes 81, 400 a
year, which is equaled by the salary of
only three postmasters in Canada. The
lady clerks have been getting $25 a
month, and one male clerk, married,
gets $35 month. The clerks asked $40
for ladies and $50 to $40 for men, which
would leave the postmaster about 81, 500
year. Victoria's postmaster, being on
the civil service list, gets only $4,000 a
year. Postmaster Miller refused posi-
lively when the scale. was first pre-
sented. Lady clerks are expected to
dress at least neatly, and how they can
do it on $25 a month and pay their own
board is mystery
The mail from the east today was
eight hours late, and the sight of the
big sacks and the thought of the China
mails to get ready tomorrow brought
the postmaster to time, and he agreed to
compromise. e.-Cor. Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer.

HIS SUSPICIOUS DEATH.
The Inquest Held Yesterday ON a Chi
nese Gardener.

The Inquest Held Yesterday ON a Chi
nese Gardener.
An inquest was held last evening by
Coroner Weldon, the subject being q
Chinaman named All Sing, who, with
his two partners, has been conducting
vegetable garden near Florence. He
died very suddenly about O'Clock yes
terday morning, and the coroner sus-
pected foul play. The mans partners
and hired man were examined and all
testified to the good relations that had
existed between them and the dead
man. He came home Saturday night
seemingly we'll, and after eating supper
and strengthening up his accounts, went
to bed. A noise was heard in the mid
die of the night. When light was pro-
cured he was found in his bunk dying.
A post-mortem examination was made
yesterday afternoon by DR.. Bryant and
search for traces of poison by Drs.
Bryant and Kannon, but none were dis
covered. The post-mortem revealed few
evidences as to the cause OF death. The
vital organs were in healthy condition,
and the only cause which seemed to
have killed the man was neuralgia of
the heart. The jury returned verdict
that the deceased came to his death
from causes unknown to them.

Death of the Ragpickers' Queen.

LA Mere Maupy," the owner of "Cite
Maupy," a famous colony of Paris rag
pickers, was an odd character among
many. Her husband, whose right hand
she had been for thirty years past, aid
ing him in the sometimes difficult task
of keeping the "biffins" in order, died a
few weeks ago and, the ragpickers not
conducting themselves with proper re-
spect at his funeral, "La Mere Maupy"
gave them notice to quit, one and all.
Her occupation gone, LA Mere Maupy"
tired of life and committed suicide a
few days ago by asphyxiation.
In her will she indicated that her
funeral should be a civil ceremony
purely, and that no chiffonniers should
be allowed to follow her coffin to the
grave.-Pall Mall Gazette.

London women Coming to Liz. rlat..

London Women Coming to Like Flats.
A very significant change has come
over Londoners of late years with regard
to certain form of residence known as
a flat" Not many years ago the idea
of living in fat was SO little appreciat-
ed that apartments of that kind could
hardly be said to exist at all in London.
A few unwieldy blocks of buildings
were built after the American fashion,
but SO little did they suit the English
taste that for long time they remained
almost empty and tenantless, notwith-
standing the fact that they then added
a very low rent to the other advantages
that they offered to their occupiers.
Now during the last three or four years
the inhabitants of London seem to have
suddenly changed their minds and fats
cannot be built quickly enough to &C
commodate the numbers who are look
ing for them.
Whole streets of fats, in some cases,
have been constructed, and have been
taken by eager tenants even before the
builders had vacated them. Indeed, an
inquirer for flats the other day, who
was willing to pay very fair rent for
very modest requirements, discovered
that, unless he could speedily make, up
his mind to take the unfinished article,
he had no chance at all of inhabiting
the article when it was finished, SO very
much greater was the demand than the
supply. That the supply is making gi-
gantic strides to overtake the demand is
evident to any one who has lately
watched the building operations in our
streets, and the gradual rise of great
blocks of red brick bearing the prema-
ture inscription, Residential fats to be
let" On the whole, we do not think it
would be an exaggeration to say that,
whatever may have been the increase in
the number Of houses in the metropolis
during the last twenty-five years, the
number of flats must have increased
more than a hundredfold. = London

How Papa Lost His Fish.

A prominent member of the Loom
Fixers' union went on a fishing expedi-
ton Sunday, with good results. He
caught nice mess of cells, which he
carried home and placed in the sink,
intending to cure them after he looked
out for the interests of the inner man.
In the meanwhile his little son, while
amusing himself with papa's game,
pulled up the sink lid and the eels one
by one glided silently into the depths of
of the sewer.
When papa went to clean his fish he
found the boy with fishline through
the sink, apparently angling.
