Hottest Place in Town.

Three men sat in the Palmer house trying
TO decide what was the hottest place in
Chicago, says the Inter Ocean, Engine rooms
locomotive cabs and Easements were suggested,
but il was finally agreed by the trio that a big
laundry was the hottest place in town. One Of
the men jun ped up and declared his intention
OF going into one just TO see what it was like on
a hot day. His companions demurred, and he
went away on his investigation alone.
But what Chicago laundry is inside in sum
mer will forever remain q mystery to the
uninitiated. The curious man didn't find out
how the interior Of a laundry appeared. He
met young LAZY and gazed iD at her over the
Office desk.
Can l go in and see the laundry runningT
he asked.
"Weii-um-ah," said the young woman, in
some confusion, "hadntyou better come around
NO, that isn't it," said the man. 'T've
seen lsundries on cool days; what l want to
see is a laundry on hot day. You under
standf'
Yes. but you see--ah, we'll, you know-dear
me- don't know what to say" and the girl
stammered in great embarrassment
20, you better let me in. D" said the man who
had an indefinite impression that the young
woman was guying him. He made for the door
leading in the laundry. The girl screamed,
Don't go In there For goodness sakes 90
away and don't ask any questions"
Look here, said the Investigator, what are
you making SO much fuss for? Now quiet down
and tell me why can't go in"
"Well-um-you know, it's awful hot"
-"Of course. understand that"
"Um-ah-p shaw and the girls in therein
thereof, please go away "
Il suppose there were girls In there; won't
hurt them What about the girls in there ," and
the investigator felt very much put out at the
young woman's stupidity.
30, dear" said the young woman: II sup
pose must. You see the girls in there; girls
you know, in there the girls-well, It'll so hot;
you understand that
THAT what? blurted the investigator, out of
patience.
THAT, o dear-they haven't any cl-they are
decollete-now go away"
And brick house, with stone trimmings, fell
on the curious man, aud he shot out and around
the corner like a cannon ball from a catapult.

The greatest trotting and pacing the
world has ever seen was done at Washing.
ton park, Chicago, by Nancy Hanks on
Wednesday ard Hal Pointer on Thursday,
reports of both of which events appeared in
the MORNING News. Besides the new rec
ords made-Nanoy Hanks, trottiug, 2:07a
and Hal Pointer, pacing, 2;O51l-Ehe events
were OF interest because of the new style of
vehicle uEed-a sulky with pneumatic tires,
pretty much like the rubber bicycle tires to
be seen on the streets any day. The new
wheels appear to have given such general
satisfaction that they will probably be used
in all racing rigs hereafter. And it is not
improbable that within a short while felloes
and spokes of hickory with tires Of wrought
iron will give way to steel wire and rubber
tires in light buggies and other horsepower
vehicles in common use.

A Question of Endurance.

1t looks as IL the question at Homestead
is whether the state can afford TO keep
troops there longer than outsiders are will
ing to support the 5000 or more strikers.
/ The Homestead mills are running, and
Manager Frick says that no contract will
/ ever again be made with the amalgamated
association. The strikers, who are
being fed By contributions from work
men In different parts of the
country. are waiting apparently for the
| troops TO be removed in order to drive the
non-union men out Of the mills. The most
of them could get work in the m lis by ap-
plying for 1t as individuals. They won't
apply, however. as long as they think there
is a chance Of winning the fight aud oontri-
buttons sufficient in amount to support
them are received.
The situation is a curious one TO say the
least Of it. The state troops are not quelling
a disturbance. They are simply doing
police duty. How long will 1t be before
thcir employers will begin to murmur and
threaten to fill their placesi
And yet there seems 30 be no way To reach
an adjustment that will insure peace.
Voluntary arbitration is out Of the question.
Manager Frick says he will not recognize
any labor organization and the strikers say
he must recognize their organization or the
trouble will continue.
And about the same situation exists at
Buffalo. Eight thousand state troops are
doing police duty there, and there will be
no disturbance as long as they are at the
scene Of trouble. II they are withdrawn
before settlement is reached it will DO
impossible for new men to handle the
switches. The strikers will annoy and as
sault them. What they have done already
is an indication of what they will do II the
restraining power is removed.
There is no ground for arresting all the
strikers There are thousands Of them, and
it is difficult to get evidence of lswlessness
against any Of them.
No doubt the number Of troops that will
| be kept at Buffalo until the trouble Is set
| tied will be sufficient 20 maintain order.
And 1t doesn't look as il the strikers would
be successful. If they should not good
many Of them, particularly the leaders,
will not get employment soon. Railroads
will not want such men In their service.
The strikes at Homestead and Buffalo are
forcing the public mind to the conclusion
that some method for settling labor troubles
must be adopted that will have the support
OF the state, aud, if necessary. the national
government and which all oontending
parties will have to accept.

The Chicago GirPs ocean Bath.

took young lady from Chicago in at Coney
and washed her, says summer resort CORE
spondent Of the Pittsburg DisDdtcE. "She had
never swelled up the ocean before. and the sit
uation was novel to both Of us. Did you ever
wash sheepg lforRot-peOpe in the city kee
goats But sheep washing to a country boy is
an annual picnc to be long thereafter remem-
bered- AT strengthening tune the flock Is
driven 20 a neghboring creek and the sheen are
takeQ into the water one by one aud soused and
scrubbed until all resemble Mary's little lamb
with fleece as white as snow. sheep must be
taken out beyond its depth to be washed, other
wise you couldn't hold it still long enough.
Even then it will KICK the bark off a fellows
Sims unless he has on good thick trousers anc q
stiff pair Of boots.
All this experience is handy, if not necessary,
when you take Chicago girl in for her first
ocean wash at Coney. She ia a kicker all the
way through. She begins TO kick because the
bathing suit doesn't fit her-as if a public bath
ing suit fit any body Then she kicked because
said that she ought to be thankful it didn't fit
her, as nobody would think as taking snap
shot at her for Venus rising from the sea. She
kicked because the ocean was not as warm at
this season of the year as Lake Michigan, but
told her they d have warmed it up if they had
known she was coming. She kept on kicking
when got her In. l never did handle an old
bell wether who did more plunRng and kicking
and swallowing water and raising muss than
this vigorous girl from CHICAGO. She came very
near drowning me in three feet OF water. Her
Chicago feet evinced an uncomfortable desire TO
be on top. had entertained the fond idea that
they would hold us down when we struck
roller, but they didn't. She was one of
these sheep mean girls-that you can't hold
still unless you grabbed her right around the
waist and chucked her in head first-and then
you couldn't tried it, She wanted to learn
TO swim in one lesson. l had promised and
found l couldn't catch her low enough TO bal
ance her feet and head properly. tried it and
swallowed enough salt water to float the white
squadron. There wasI 7 room enough for us in
the ocean. She was always knocking me over
the ropes or kicking some other bather on the
legs, or putting her feet in some body's ribs, or
something. finally persuaded her that it
unhealthy to remain in the water too long the
first time and got her out. l felt like lying
down somewhere and never getting up again.
But she said she had had a splendid time and
down again. Then we went over to the pavilion
and ate 81 worth. l promised to bring her
down to Coney again-next year.
