an early hour this morning 800 Pinkerton
detectives arrived in Pittsburg from the
east, They were quietly marched 30 the
MonongaheIa river, where they were loaded
on bsrges and shipped to Homestead at 2:15
O'clock. The news Of their arrival spread
rapidly and when the steam tug Tide, tow
Ing the barges, arrived at Homestead, there
we're 5000 people waiting to meet them.
As soon as the Pinkertons attempted to land
they were met by a firm refusal from the
men and a battle followed The Piuker-
tons opened fire and at the first volley two
workmen fell. This enraged the crowd and
they bore down on the Pinkertons with re-
sstless force. Nobody stopped to inquire
whether the newcomers were deputy
sherlffs, Pinkerton detectives or nonsunion
aoorers. After an exchange Of shots the
crowd grouped on the bank and fell back
and climbed over a heap of rubbish. and
rushed toward the big trestle lead
Ing to the Pemicky railroad
bridge. Probably 800 of the men
Stood their ground and returned desultory

TIE GOVERNOR AROUSED.
PITTsBURG, July 6, TP. M-Upon receipt
OF the governors kilograms refusing 10 inter-
fere until all means had been exhausted by
the county officials, Sheriff MeCleary wired
back the following despatch:
Hon. Robert E. Patttson, Gove' nor. Harris
burg, Pu.
After a personal visit TO the Homestead works
yesterday morning aud careful inquiry as to
the su rroundiRgs, L endeavored to gather q
force to guard the works but was unable 30 OBJ
tain them. l then sent twelve deputies, almost
my entire force, to Homestead, but they we're
driven from the grounds, The mill owners
early this morning sent an armed guard OF 800
men by the river. The boats containing this
guard were fired on while on their way up the
river, aad when they attempted to land at the
companys grounds were met by an
armed mob which had taken down
the companys fences and taken possession of
the landing. An encounter ensueo, In which 3
number were wounded ON both sides Sever al
are reported dead. The coroner has just in
formed me that one of the guards has just died
The quartz have not been able to land aud the
works are in possession of the moi, who are
armed with rifles and pistols, and are re
ported to have one cannon. The guards
remain on the barges near the landing having
been abandoned by the steamer which towed
them there. The civil authorities here are
powerless to meet the situation. An armed
and disciplined force is needed at once to pre-
vent further loss of life l would, therefore,
urge immediate action on your part:
WILLIAM II. MCCLEARY,
Sheriff Allegheny County.
THE SHERIFF CENSURED.
As no effort had been made by the sheriff
to secure force OF deputies after the fall
ure Of the twelve men sent up yesterday,
the governor, after consulting with Adjt
Gen. Greenland, sent the following message
to Sheriff McCleary:
Your kilograms indicate that you have not
made any attempt to execute the law to enforce
order aud must insist on your calling upon the
citizens for an adequate number of deputies,
On receipt of this telegram the sheriff i'm
mediately issued the following proclama-
tion:
All good citizens are hereby summoned to
appear at the sneriff's Office tomorrow Thurs
day at O'Clock a. m, with arms and subsist-
ence to aid the sheriff in suppressing the riot
now in progress at Homestead.
W. II. McCLEARYs
Sheriff.
In explanation of his failure to secure ad-
ditional deputies, Sheriff McCeary said: 81
believed it would be suicide for me to take
my men there. Five hundred deputies
could do nothing more than dozen. Be
sides l have been unable to secure men.

She will appreciate your consideration, il
she is the right kind of girl, il she is

The difference in cost between good
tools OF this kind and inferior ones is not
very great. The method of testing them
is simple. A good steel knife is elastic
and bends readily and easily when the
point is pressed on the table. A good
English bread-kniie win cost about 20
cents and upward, French knives sl.25
and upward. 1t is always wise TO buy
these knives of an experienced cutler, who
Is thoroughly trustworthy.

from the seminary, faltered.

The speakers were two seniors OF STAN
ford Seminary at Ephesus, n. III. STAN
ford is a boarding school for both sexes,
and takes rank among co-educational in
stitutions.
But, strange as It may appear, its more
than local renown is derived from its
sheet and pillow case parties.
At these parties the young ladies' faces
are masked, their forms are draped with
sheets arranged in Greek fashion and
their heads are enveloped in pillow cases.
What makes the parties especially en-
joyable is that they are not previously an
nounced. For not until the sheeted forms,
like troop OF ghosts, file into the concert
hall are the young men aware that the
monthly reception has been varied.
The presence OF new girl adds bit
of sensation to Stanford reception. 1t
was "new girl - of whom the two sem
iors were speaking.
She was tall and slender, of graceful fig
ure and of fair complexion. Her blue eyes
sparkled under long lashes, and a perfect
Roman nose gave her an air superior
intelligence.
Her mouth was shapely, il not small,
and was capable of the sweetest smiles,
although its general expression was one
OF mischief.
Such was the Sophronia Southwick of
Stanford, decided Improvement on the
Sophronia Southwick of rural Northrop.
BY an inadventence on the part OF the
secretary, coupled with Sophronia's love
Of mystery, she had been registered as
Miss instead OF Mrs. Southwick.
Leander Southwick was not an adept in
killing time; therefore, after Sophronia's
departure, he had sufficient time on his
hands TO furnish him with a problem
more perplexing than the distribution OF
his suddenly acquired wealth. Letters
from Ephesus somewhat broke the mo-
notony OF his life.
One especially delighted him. He tore
il open and read with avidity.
1t was a breezy epistle, and in it So
phronia disclosed in gushing language the
secret of the sheet and pillow case diver
sion.
"It's going TO be awfully jolly" she
wrote. "Not soul will know us. That
mole on my right hand, by which you
Gould always tell me when we went TO the
masquerades, hasn't been noticed here,
think. How wish you could be here"

"They also serve, who only stand and wait"
Take comfort from that thought in lonely
hours,
when naught seems set aside for your fate
To do; while others have far richer dowers.
With days brim full OF hope, and work, and
love;
Full to the brim, and haply, running DER,
The angels, watching from their homes above,
Can see how sad the waiting is; how sore.
But IL the waiting is not all in vain,
II those who wait are serving truly. too;
oh, then they need not mind the nameless
pain,
But think il is the part they are to do.
And peace and rest will ell the lonely days
That once were filled with naught but pain
and woe,
For, though we cannot understand His ways,
Enough TO know Our Father will it so.

HIS WIFES EDUCATION.

Leander Southwick had been married
scarcely a year when by the death OF an
uncle in Nevada he fell heir to an estate
worth si50,0O0.
The inheritance was SO unexpected that
for some time il was difficult 10 believe
that he, an humble grocer, was the pos
SCISSOR of a fortune greater even than that
of his boyhood dreams.
"Four hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars! What'll we do with all that money!"
he said TO his wife.
Sophronia Southwick, equal to any
emergency, from weighing a Goldfish to
making up the monthly accounts, was
never at loss for an idea.
We must go into society,"" she
promptly replied.
"Societyl" shouted Leander. "Whht
do we know about society,""
"Now, Leander, it's ridiculous for you
TO speak in that strain. You know that
none of these rich New Workers, and |
believe there are 400 OF them, knew any
more about society than we do"
"But they had some education, hadn't
theyf"
ayes; but can't we get educated as well
as they?"
"How do you propose to get it?"
81 propose to go to one of those semin-
aries"
"Go TO a seminary" shouted her hus-
band. "Why, you're too old!"
"Too old, Leander! Why, Pm not
twenty-three; and you told me this
morning that / didn't look more than
eighteen"
Southwick, OF course, saw the absur-
dity of his wife's position; but, realizing
it was useless to dissuade her, relaxed his
efforts and finally acqulesced in her de-
cision.

0s6p from Lemons-Is simple, Cheap
and Eflicient.

Wash five lemons and dry them. Put
Them ia an agate saucepan or one of porce-
lain, and pour on enough boiling water to
almost cover them--or just enough SO that
they will cook without scorching. The
lemons should be whole OF course. Let
them boil until tender. Then with a
lemon squeezer squeeze the Juice into the
water that the lemons have boiled in, and
be sure TO strain this that no seeds may
be left in. There should not be at the
most over two cupfuls OF water after tho
lemons are done-there is usually less.
Stir in granulated sugar enough TO make
n rather stiff syrup-in fact, almost as
much sugar as the liquor will absorb.
For the first dose take few spoonfuls
until the stomach is almost nauseated
with the sweetness. Afterward take a
spoonful every coughing spell-or when
one feels the tickling in the throat.
