THE POOR BABY.
Tortures 1t suffers Through Carelessness
of Nurse-Glrls.

At this season of the year everybody
who has baby must take it out a GER
tain number of hours every day, and
the tortures and miseries and sutferings
and trials and tribulations to which
these poor little creatures are subjected
during this necessary interval are
enough to melt heart of stone. They
are bobbed up and down on springs
iolted off from sidewalks, hurried over
rough places, left to broil in the sun
while the nurse-girl tlirts with her best
young man. and otherwise maltreated
in IL fashion which is more suggestive
of a sort of infantile inquisition than
any other thing in the world. Just
how any intelligent woman can endure
existence and know, as she certainly
must, that her baby is being put through
system of positive torture, is some
thing that passes comprehension. 1t is
useless for her to tlatter herself that her
nurse is more faithful than others, for
she knows, all the same, that she
isn't. If she doubts it, all she has
to do is to go out and stand for
a few minutes within eye-range and
watch. Fortunate, indie ed, is she if she
does not find her dear branch hang
ing half out of the carriage, or nearly
smothered with wraps, or with its pre-
cious little nose burned to u blister
| One trustful mother, not long since, dis
covered, to her horror, that the nurse
carried bottle of soothing syrup in
her pocket, and gave the baby large
| doses in order to keepit quiet Fortified
with this dangerous bottle, she could
firt to her hearts content, confident
that her charge would not wake up and
give her any trouble.
There should be special regulations
concerning nursemaids with baby car
riages, and severe penalties should be
prescribed for neglect and abuse of the
unfortunates which may be in THEN

ARBITRATION.


VIII Possibly be tho Outcome of the Con-
gressional Investigation.
PITTSBURGH, July IA report is
current here that the members of the
congressional committee which will be-
gin an investigation of the trouble be-
tween the Carnegie company and its
men, will, in their individual capacity,
suggest arbitration, and that a canvas
of the men who would be eligible has
resulted in talk of selecting James g..
Blaine, Maj. Mckinley and Gov, Patti
son. Gov. Mckinley is named to repre-
sent the protection interest and Gov.
Pattison for the other side. There is
some doubt as to the acceptability of
Mr.. Blaine, as he is known to be a warm
friend of Andrew Carnegie.
1t is also doubtful if he would accept,
as he is not putting himself out very
much to assist his party of late. The
mill men say that they will not listen
to a proposition in favor of submitting
matters in dispute to arbitration until
Mr.. Friok or some one higher in author
ity retracts the ultimatum issued by
Mr.. Frick that 10 union workmen would
ever in future be employed in the mills.
The workmen are also averSe to SUBJ
mitting their troubles to arbitration by
strangers to them. They hold that if
there is any disposition to make set
tlement the agents of the company can
confer with their representatives and a
basis of agreement found if one is pos
sible.
They are satisfied that the Carnegie
people want no settlement other than
the complete dissolution of the Anal
gamated association and the opportun-
ity to deal with men as individuals.
The men declare they will starve rather
than submit to the latter alternative. @

A CHURCH CEREMONY.
The Quaint Custom That Obtains In a
Spanish Town.

The Quaint Custom That Obtains In q
spanish Town.
There is one custom peculiar to Seville
which now really forms the protest
scene to be viewed during the carnival,
although it is religious, not secular,
and is protest against the licentious
gayeties of the time instead of being II
part of them. This custom is the dam
cling of the little choir boys of the cathe-
dral before the host every evening at
five o'clock. Above the high altar,
blazing with wax tapers, the host is ex-
posed in magnificent silver ostensor
ium, surmounted by a huge silver
crown; the illumination of the sanctu-
ary is completed by row of tall and
massive silver candelabra standing out
side the rail. AS soon as vespers, COM
pline and mathis are ended, the arch
bishop ascends to his throne at the
north side of the sanctuary; the canons,
in their purple mantles, follow and
| llneel in rows on each side; then, in the
space before the altaI, ten little choir
| boys (seizeS) take their stand in two
ranks of five, facing each other The
| boys are dressed as pages of the seven
teenth century, with jackets of red and
white in stripes, white kneebreeches,
stockings and satin shoes. In their
hands they hold white hats, broad
brimmed and high-crowned, with droop-
ing plumes of red and white feathers.
After "Tantum Ergo has been sung,
to the accompaniment of full orches-
ira, the boys begin hymn in Spanish to
II bright and charming air. When this
| :. l,1 ~ thai hnt tS
on their heads. and begin their dance,
still singing to the accompaniment of
the orchestra. The dance is slow and
stately, like the old minuet, with a
pause between each step; the boys wind
in and out, form various figures, and
end with piroutte. At the completion
of the hymn, the orchestra continues
the air, and the boys accompany it with
castanets, still dancing. The ceremony
is then repeated, with another hymn
and different music, and the whole per-
formance lasts twenty minutes. At it's
conclusion, "Tantum Ergo" is again
sung, while everyone kneels; the arch
bishop gives his benediction and de-
parts with his attendants, the people
crowding round, as he goes down the
church, to kiss his episcopal ring.
The origin of the dancing is not at
tested by any documentary evidence,
but is believed to date from the con-
quest of Seville by st. Ferdinand from
the Moors. 1t is a survival, in fact of
the autos sacramentales, or miracle
plays, accompanied by music and dan
cling in honor of the sacrament, which
are chiefly known to European readers
outside Spain through the beautiful
composition of Calderon. The Autos of
Calderon carried these performances to
the highest point of literary art, but
they had been customary in Spain
throughout the Middle Ages at Corpus
Christi and other festivals Not only
boys, but also women, used to dance be-
fore the host until this part of the cere-
mony was suppressed by authority =

THE SCALE.

The Conference Between the Amalga-
mated Association and the Manuiac-
turers.
PITTSBURGH, July 9.-The conference
between the Amalgamated Association
and the iron and steel manufacturers
was continued Friday with little result.
Some points of minor Importance were
agreed on, after which adjournment
was taken until Saturday. None of the
interested parties now discussing the
iron scale would give any particulars in
regard to the points of difference
which still remain to prevent an
agreement being arrived at Secre-
tary Madden said, however, that the
work of the conference was progressing
very nicely and hopes could now be
fairly indulged in of an early settle
ment. Three signatures to the scale
were received Friday. They We're: Car
negie, Phipps & Co., Beaver Falls plant;
the New Albany Qnd,) rail-mill, and
the NiXdorf-Kiem Manufacturing Co..
of st. Louis. In view of the assertion
of the Carnegie Co. officials that the
Amalgamated association would not
longer be recognized, the signature to
the Beaver Falls came in the nature OF
q surprise.

PITTsBURGH, Pa, July 9.--Committees
are placing arms and ammunition in
the hands of trustworthy men, and any
attempt by the company or by Sheriff
McCleary and his deputies to take pos
session of the works will be met with
determined and organized resistance.
The alarm sounded last midnight,
followed so closely by the startling tele-
gram of warning from Cincinnati, has
stirred up the men, and they are in no
mood for trifling. A number of deter
mined individuals came down from the
general headquarters few minutes
and stood at the foot of the stairway
discussing the situation.
Their conversation was partly over
heard. Part of them said: Every man
must be well armed to-day. We must
see to it that every rife in our
possession is in good hands. Plenty of
ammunition must be distributed. When
this is done, boys, we will be in posi-
tion to keep out every man, be he black
leg or whiteleg None of the sheriff's
deputies must be allowed to enter the
works. We must show solid 'front.'
The men then carried away large box
containing several hundred rounds OF
cartridges They evidently have plen.
ty of IS and 44-caliber cartridges and
are prepared to resist an equal force OF
men. South Side iron-worllers are
guarding the works with repeating
Winchester rifles in their hands. II
looks very warlile indeed.
Friday Hugh O'Donnell, the leading
4.l Il
gram from Cincinnati informing him
that in accordance with orders from the
Carnec IS and the Pinkerton detective
agency, worlimen were engaged in re-
modelling a number of freight cars fol
use at Homestead. The telegram fur.
ther stated that the cars were being
made bullet and fire proof, with
numerous rife holes provided; that tho
cars are being stocked with rations suf
ficient to feed n small army several
days. According to advices received al
a late hour Friday morning Pinkertonf
were preparing to place the cars il
charge of 500 or 400 armed men just as
soon as everything is in readiness tc
pull out for the scene of hostilities o.
course the receipt of this news, coming
as it did from what the men consider
a reliable source, has caused renewed
excitement.
Committees have been appointed tt
watch carefully every train approach
ing the place, while several men have
gone to Pittsburgh, where they viii
take up their posts in the railroad yards
and wire information here when the
train puts in an appearance.

CINCINNATI, July 11.-At meeting of

appointed to draw up resolutions IN
reference to the Homestead riot. The
committee met Saturday morning and
drew up and adopted the following:
Resolved, That we, the Amalgamated
council of building trades of Cincinnati
and vicinity, denounce the actions of this
firm as an outrage upon American
citizens and shows tendency toward
dcspotism. "Resolved that we commend
the action of congress in taking i'm
mediate action toward investigating
this outrage, and that we ask our rep
resentatives that they take immediate
steps toward crushing out the standing
army known as Pinllertons This JUS
tice demands and organized labor will
be satisfied with nothing else"

PrrTsBURGH, July 9.-The statement
us to whether or not the Pinkerton men
were sworn in as deputies are very con-

were not, but the Carnegie people in
sist they were. H. r. Spear, of Chica-
go, who is ut the West Penn hospital,
confirms the statement of the Carnegies.
He says they were sworn in by Deputy
Sheriff Gray. The latter admits that
he was with the party, but asserts that
he did not administer the oath TO them.

with Gatling Guns.
MONTREAL, July lie Monde, u
leading French paper, referring to
President Harrison's proposal of retail
alton against Canada, says: THE re-
prisal legislation adopted at Washing
ton is an insult and threat to the peo-
pie of England and Canada. BY sign
ing this law the president has broken
the treaty of 1871 with the de-
liberate intention of injuring the
British crown. Probably this legis-
lation will not be put into effect, but if
they dare to enforce the law the duty
of the Canadian and imperial govern
ment is clear. An injury done TO the
honor and dignity of flag which pro-
tects this treaty and the rights it as
sures to the people of Canada would re-
quire good and prompt reparation. If
the voice of English diplomacy has no
echo at Washington, recourse must be
had to the louder and more powerful
voice CT cannons and Gatling guns.
There is no alternative. Choose, Mr..
Harrison.
