In Possession Of the MilIy.

In twenty minutes the works were
entirely surrounded and the Carnegie
mills were once more in the hands Of
their owners. All the surrounding

The crowd at respectful distance and
prevented the assembling of groups of
strixers. 1t is due to the workmen,
however, to say that no ::militiaman was
called upon to exercise his authority.
The strikers were uniformly good
natuyed and the peaceful programme of
their leaders was observed to the letter.
There was much speculation g to
whether the troops would occupy the
town or merely confine themselves to
the mills, but the doubt on this point
was not of long duration. Immediately
after the deploy had surrounded the
works and the picket lines had been
established, several companies suddenly
formed at the command Of their officers
and marched directly to the little town
Of Homestead. One company halted
near the strikers headquarters and
marched to the vicinity of the depot,
and third occupied slight eminence
overlooking and commanding the com
mercial center Of the town. Homestead

In the Hands of the Military,
and martial law had succeeded the arbi-
trary reign of the advisory committee.
The greatest order was maintained by
the troops in all their movements, and
the young militiamen showed the bene-
fits Of careful training. The citizens of
Homestead were greatly disappointed
that the militia should have deemed it
necessary to occupy the whole town in
stead Of merely confning themselves to
the mills, but there was not hoot, nor
cry, nor single manifestation of dis
respect to show their displeasure. 1t
was a complete acquiascence to the
power Of the state, and as gracefully as
they could the strikers accepted the in
evitable.
The Fourteenth, Eighteenth, Fifth
and Sixteenth were the ones pushed into
Homestead, the Fourteenth and Tenth
had, half an hour previously, taken pos
session of the opposite bank of the
Monongahela, just across from the Car
negie mills, and here, too, the batteries
were placed, commanding the whole Of
the town. Had there been any resis-
tance to the entrance of the troops, the
cannon on the other side of the river
could by themselves have made the
strikers position untenable.

Land Sold to Farmers.

Mr.. B. s. Russell has sold for the Min
nesota and Dakota Land company, and
other parties, since the first of April,
about 4,5O0 acres of land, lying in the
jim river valley. All the land has been
sold to adjoining settlers in small tracts,
Prices run from S4.OO to $3.50 per acre.
One piece was paid for in cash. The land
was sold to twenty persons, mostly small
farmers. Five of the purchasers bought
on crop payments, and the others on part
cash and time.
MI. Russell has been visiting the west
ern portions of Cass and Trail counties,
and in Ransom county and the eastern
part of Steele county, and finds grain
further advanced there than in the jim
valley, owing to less rain. Grain is
cleaner than last year. This side OF the
Sheyenne, he thinks the grain is about
three weeks late. There are some appre-
tensions that frost will catch much of the
wheat this fall and possibly will, but in
1888 the season was backward and the
crop made itself entirely after July 1lth.
If the crop is secured this year, the sales
of land will be very great this fall and
next year, in Mr.. Russell's opinion. !

A DRAMATIC SCENE.
General Snowden Refuses to Recognize
the Amalgamated Association.

General SnOwden Refuses to Recognize
the Amalgamated Association.
HOMESTEAD. July ia dramatic
scene occurred at the division headquar-
ters of the military between Major
General Snowden and a delegation rep
resenting the Amalgated association and
the citizens Of Homestead. It was the
first formal meeting of the workmen
and those who succeeded them in au-
thority, and it's interest was heightened
by the absolute refusal of General
Snowden to recognize the Amalgamated
association or any other body. A meet
ing Of the leaders of the Amalgamated
association and prominent citizens
was held at the headquarters
of the workingmen shortly before
noon and committee of citizens
and Amalgamated association men
was appointed to call on General Wiley,
of the Second brigade and tender him
the good wishes and cooperation of the
Amalgamated association and the people
of Homestead, and also to request that
the military receive the women Of the
town in body headed by brass bands
General Wiley was named because it
was thought General Snowden was not
on the ground. Members of the COM
mittee appointed went Immediately to
the headquarters Of the Third brigade,
but upon tenderNg their offer General
Wiley directed them to General Snowden
who was quartered at the Carnegie school
house on Shanty hill. General Wylie
and Sheriff McCleary were there, and
Captain Coon, an ex-militia officer,
acting as spokesman, told the general
that the delegation represented the citi-
zens Of Homestead, and the Amalgam-
ated association, who wished to assure
the state authority Of their desire to CO.
operate with it in keeping order. Gen.
Snowden CURLY interrupted Capt. Coon to
say he that did not recognize the Amalga-
mated association or any other authority
except that Of the government of Penn
sylvania and the sheriff of Allegheny
county. The people af Homestead. he
said. could best cooperate with the state
troops by behaving themselves. Cap
tain Coon then went on to tender all
assistance in the power of the citizens
and the Amalganlated association, but
the general again cut him short with
the remark that he could not accept any
such tenders.
AS citizens Of Allegheny county he
was glad to see them, but not in any
other capacity. Then their spokesman
requested the privilege Of passing in re-
view before the generals camp. This
was refused. however. In his private
capacity it would be hattering. General
Snowden said but as an officer he could
not permit it. This concluded the inter
view after some moments of embar-
rassed silence the delegation withdrew
in anything but good humor.

American Appreciation.

A story is going the rounds in regard
to an American undergraduate at Cam.
bridge, England, who had given him to
criticise at an examination, as master
piece of English literature, passage he
had never before seen. He afterward
told o friend that it seemed to be "by
some American" and he was informed
that it was from Lincoln's Gettysburg
address. 1t was sufficiently remarkable
that this address, written hastily ON the
backs of envelopes as the weary presi.
dent was travelling toward Gettysburg,
should have been set for examination al
an English university; but the really re.
markable thing is that any American
hoy should have been brought up in
ignorance OF. it.

understood in this nation, and never sc
much as dreamed in England, thai

letters in either country, until the mere
accident of few years residence il

A Fortunate Cat.

1t isn't every cat that has the good
fortune to come into settled income,
but that pleasing distinction from the
rest of his race is enjoyed by an animal
attached to the Produce exchange staff.
He has had the job of looking after the
mice and rats on the big exchange floor
ever since his kittenhood, and he is now
very nearly a full grown cat and siz-
able one as well. Grain samples are
sure to attract the rodents, and the
Produce exchange did not secure ex-
emption from their visits. Traps were
tried with some success, but the relief
thus obtained was only temporary, and
it was finally decided to resort to cat.
To secure one which would not run
away at the first opportunity it was
deemed wise to obtain kitten, which,
having no experience of the delights of
midnight battles on back fences, would
be satisfied to get along without them.
The theory Of this has proved to be cor
rect. The cat never leaves the main
floor of the building, and apparently ;s
satisfied with the hunting ground it Of
fers, spending the nights there with
praiseworthy regularity.
At o'clock each morning he gives up
business and seeks rest in carpeted
corner of the superintendent's Office.
When the gong rings at o'clock to
warn the brokers that the exchange day
is over the cat starts out to patrol his
beat, making a leisurely circuit of the
hall, and completing it about the time
that the last stragglers are disappearing.
He is good hunter, and eclipses the
achievements of the traps, his presence
on the floor at night having resulted in
rendering the rats and mice far less of a
nuisance than they were. His pay comes
in the shape of regular rations, while
polished metal collar about his neck
shows that he is the "oficial" cat of the
exchange.-New York Times.

The Economical Mule.

The mule is ready to begin work two
or three years earlier than the horse. He
can be put to pretty heavy pulling when
he is 8 years old, and from that time un-
til he is 40, if he has fair treatment and
does not meet with an accident, he is
not likely to lose any time. He is not
subject to the many ailments to which
the horse is victim, at least not to any
great degree. He lives about twice as
long and his actual period of usefulness
is nearly three times as long, for the horse
is really not fit for heavy service until
he is years old, or after he is 20, while
a mule will often do good service for
forty years, and they have been known
to work fifty, according to one writer,
without being turned out at any time
during all that long period.
Like the ass, the mule will live upon
next to nothing, and during all his forty
years of hard service mule will not re-
quire-and generally does not get-half

Paprika, OF Hungarian Pepper,

A very delicious red pepper, too little
known in this country, is the Hungarian
paprika. 1t is little, if any, stronger
than white pepper, has an exquisite flavor
peculiarly its own, and threatens no he
patio troubles. Although a very good
pepper for table use, the chief excellence
of the paprika is in culinary employ
ment. Heat brings out its flavor, and
being SO mild it may be used lavishly
without giving pain to tender mouths.
The Spanish black pepper, which grows
in long pods like vanilla beans, closely
approximates to paprika, but is not quite
SO fine flavor. 1t is little milder and
is principally used in cooking.-Food.

EARTHLY vAPoRs.

When heavily upon thee weigh the cares
OF earth. and into dull despair
Thy struggling spirit falls;
When thronged with trifling troubles, pressed
with wrongs,
Thy souls free pinions flag and fail
Until for help it calls:
When thy full ear can only hear the din
OF eager struggles for earth's dross-
Deaf to the melody
That lives in voices loved of many years
Come then and lay thy duties down
Till thou thy spirit free.
Then rest upon the kindly lap of earth
And watch the fleecy clouds sweep DER
The sky's extended blue;
Drink deep of natures calm content, and let
Thy soul beseech his tender grace.
Who all thy failures knew!
The heavy load, the dull depression lay
Thou at the Masters feet, and he
Will bless and comfort thee;
Trust thou in hiIn and he will bear thy load
And thee out of the wilderness,
And thy protection be.

The El cakishness OF Chance

Chance is queer word, and chance is
queer thing. Chance cannot ever be
counted on, and tho chances are that
those who take chances miss the great
chances of life, which is one of the queer
things about it. As further evidence
of the peculiarities of chance, q western
paper narrates a singular instance. A
wagon loaded with gunpowder, this pa
per says, moving ON perfectly level
road near Wenachee, Wash, exploded
last week, while in the same week an
other wagon, loaded with dynamite,
drawn by four horse team, went over
the grade not far from the same spot.
and rolled 100 feet without doing bit
Of damage.
The freakishness of chance was never
more fully illustrated than by this epi-
sode. 1t is one of those things which
defy explanation, but which point a
moral. The moral is. don't take chances.
