NJ. Renan has known any number Of
instances Of superior sagacity in brood
hens. He felt that he did not go too far
in regarding cats and dogs that he had
known as humble relatives. When a
child he had for neighbor dog that,
disliking the Fridays dinner Of FISH and
potatoes, used regularly on Thursday to
gs looking about for bones TO hide them
for his meals next day. How did he
know that Thursday preceded Friday
Another dog associated Sunday with

In ordinary business are mostly owing 70 bad

credulity OF trustfulness In human nature.
For precisely the same reasons marriage is
much more likely TO be a failure.

REACHED A CRISIS.
Strong Probability That the Long
Strike at Homestead w i'll Be
Declared Off.
So Far as the Mechanical Depart
ment Is Concerned the Strike
Is Over.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Nov. 1T.-The
Homestead strike that has continued
for the past five months has reached a
crisis. Official action will be taken this
afternoon 10 decide whether it is policy
to continue the struggle. Early this
morning the national officers of the
Amalgamated association returned to
| Homestead, and are now in secret con
ference with the mechanics and laborerS
who joined the strike through sympa-
thy for their fellows. Another confer
ence will take place at o'clock this
afternoon with the members of the
Amalgamated association.
<. 1t is at this time impossible to obtain
any expression Of opinion from the ad
visory board, but it seems certain that
the strike, as a strike. will be declared
off. There yet remains strong feeling
among the members of the Amaga-
mattel association against giving in. and
If they continue to strongly oppose the
idea of surrender, it is possible that
they will hold together and fight it out.
| The mechanics and laborerS will, how
ever, as q result of the conference, be
released from their obligations of re-
| naming out on the strike with the
Amalgamaled men, and it will be left to
their own option about accepting en-
ployment at the mill.
No matter how the matter may turn
out so far as the mechanical department
is concerned, the strike is over. Appli-
cations from the old men are pouring
into the mill in unusual numbers today.
AS there are but few vacancies to be
filled, the men were temporarily turned
away. The first business failure since
the strike occurred this morning. S.
Nogles. who has been in business here
for six years, conducting a clothing
store, was forced to close his store. His
affairs are in the hands OF the sheriff,
but it is thought he will be able TO effect
satisfactory adjustment and resume
business.
BEAVER FALLS, Pa, Nov. 17-More
new men are entering the Carnegie mill,
and there are unmiStakable evidences
of break in the strikers ranks. 1t is
SAID there were 102 applications for
work Monday at the c0mpany'S Office.
Among them were number Of former
employees. 1t is also known that large
number of the old men have applied for
their former positions by letter, not
caring to have their intentions known
until the time for starting the works
next week. Last evening a gang of
boys followed some of the non-union
men on the street, jeerng and hooting
at them. This is the first attempt to
moleSt the new men.

The Race Question Bobs Up in
the New York Diocese.
NEWARK. n. j.. Nov. 17.-rhe dis
cordant strife which has been brewing
betWeen the Irish and German Catholic
priests of the New York diocese since
the German Catholic congress in Sep
tember developed d into bitter war of
words, according to the story OF priest
present, at the diocesan conference of
the priests at st. Patrick's school here
today. This strife. it is said, was en-
gendered by certain remarks OF Rev.
Father Patrick Corrigap, of st. Mary's
church, Hoboken. But the condition of
affairs, it is alleged. was brought about
by Bishop Wiggers' alleged tendency to
favor the Germans. Father Corrigan
put the allegation Into practical letter
form and set the race blood boiling.
Father Corrlgan was present today,
together with full attendance of Ger
man and Irish priests. The Germ an
priests were, it is said, not backward in
expressing their opinion of Father Cor
rigan for his illusions to them and their
societies. According to priest who
was present at the conference, the bish-
op decided to answer the charges made
by the priests by getting an expression
of opinion from all the priests in the
diocese in the form of a circular, which
was distributed among them for their
signature. A discussion arose over this
letter, which grew in bitterness till the
bishop forbade further remarks, and
adjourned the meeting. What the out
come will be remains to be seen.

MITKIEwICz TRIED.
No Case Made Against Him in
Police Court

New YORK, Nov. II. = Count"
Eugene de Mitkiewicz, the famous pro-
moter of Chinese concession schemes,
appeared at the Tones police this morn
ing for examination on the charge of
having obtained S1,750 under false pre-
lenses from Arthur l.. Tones, of
Brooklyn. Tones testified as to how
he met MitkiewicZ. and how the latter
induced him to place mortgage OH his
home in Brooklyn. assuring him that
the money would be returned by Col.
Elliott F. Shepard and others. Court
then said that the only point involved
was whether the moneys had been OBJ
tanned on false pretense that it would
be returned by Col. She pard and others.
William p. Burr was the next witness
after Tones. He testified that through
all the transactions he had understood
that the money was to be repaid by Col.
Shepard. On cross examination witness
said that Mitkiewicz had told him ''that
he had Col. Shepard on the hip, and
that he could force him to pay the
money back" Lawyer Brooke, counsel
for MitkiewicZ, asked for the dismissal
of the case on the ground that no evil
dence had been submitted showing
that the count has handled one cent of
the money IN question. Justice Grady
thereupon granted his motion.

The auditor under it is called to decide

Its tendency is toward corruption. The

The presumption of honesty must be
with every man in every judicial pro-

FOUND POISON.
No Doubt as TO How a Pittsburger
Came to His Death

PITTsBURG, Nov. 17-There is now
no doubt that Gamble Weir, the late sup
erintendent of police of this city, was
poisoned. Hugo Blank, the chemical ex-
pert, has completed his analysis of the
dead mans stomach and states posi-
lively that he has found three different
poisons in sufficient quantities to cause
death. Prof. Blank is now preparing a
report in writing and will present it to
District Attorney Burleigh and Admin
istrator Harry Feh within a few days.
Col. w. d. Moore has been retained
by Administrator Harry Nehl, and will
assist District Attorney Burleigh in the
prosecution of Mrs. Marsh, with whom
Supt. Weir boarded. and at whose resi-
dence he died of mysterious ailments,
on the charge of larceny, the accusa-
tion, as is well known, being that she
appropriated valuable personal prop
erty of the deceased uperintendent.
The trial has not yet been placed on the
list, but is expected to come up soon. 1t
will likely be sensational. as develop
mentS that may throw some light on the
manner of death are expected. Mrs.
MarSh's movements after she left Pitts
burg were closely watched. AS a result
two women who reside at Cottenville,
Staten Island, where Mrs. Marsh was
arrested, are now in the city and will
appear as witnesses for the common
wealth when the case comes to trial.

THE EXTRA SESSION.
Senator Vest Ridicules the Idea
of Calling One.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 17.-Senator Vest
started for Washington last night.
Before leaving he said in an interview
that the Democrats would proceed eau
tiously in reforming the tariff and would
not smash the Mckinley bill as black
smith would destroy a watch. Free
trade. pure and simple. he said, was inn
possible, for the only proper way to
raise money to carry OH the gov
ernment was by customs tariff. The
tariff, however. would be revised
along conservative lines in such a
manner as to lessen the cost of living to
sthe common people. The senator ridi-
culed the idea of an extra session of
congress to deal with the tariff. "Mr.
Cleveland" he said, lis too level headed
for any such nonsense. He does not
believe in cavalry charge on the ex-
listing system of taxation and finance,
and he will proceed slowly"
JACKSON, Miss, Nov. 1T. C..
Catchings, member of congress and a
member of the rules committee of the
present house, is of the opinion that
there ought to be an extra session of

Chicago, Nov. A. - The base ball
magnates were slow in getting to-
gether TINS morning, and it was nearly
noon before quorum had gathered in
the club room of the Richelieu. The
election Of members of the board of
directors for the current year was the
first business in order. The names of
those selected, however, were not i'm
mediately made public. Some minor
changes were then made in the consti-
tuition with but little discussion, one
having reference to the clause govern
ing open dates. The spirit of this re-
mans the same, but the language is
made more definite.
President Young says that the gloomy
reports that have been put into circula-
tiOn regarding the present condition
and prospects of the national game are
not warranted by the facts, while the
aggregate receipts of the clubs during
the past season were s1,000,000, while

menting on the speeches of Messrs. De-
pew and Reid at the New York cham
Der of commerce banquet Tuesday night,
says:
1.-The eagerness of the defeated party
to abrogate the Mckinley law is in
itself sufficient to inspire the victors
with caution. Mr.. Cleveland has other
and better reasons for delay. The Nc
Kinley tariff enlists the support of a
powerful body of capitalists and num-
bers of woIkingmen, and, although
their forces were vanquished by the
overpowering movement of public Opin-
ion, it is not desirable to make their de-
feat too painful and ruinOus. A change
from the most monstrous absurditeS Of
McKinleyism to something like an en-
durable tariff will probably be slow and
tentative; but it cannot be long post
poned, nor can it be restricted within
narrow limits"
