HOMESTEAD, Aug 2.-"The Me-
chanics must be kept in line at all haz-
yards" That is the command sent out
at last nights conference of the leaders
in this remarkable struggle, and as a
result there is lively hustling
on the part of the leaders here to
break up weakened strikers of the
mechanical departments and allay dis
organization. 1t is really to this end
that this afternoons meeting has been
called, at which the choicest orators of
| the Amalgamated Association of Iron
| and Steel Workers will hold out golden
promises to those who are faithful to
the tonnage men.

come to stay. In addition seven of our
old men applied for their places and

OLD HANDS ASKING FOR WORK.
AS Mr. Potter was speaking two men
were shown in. They were old en-
ployes and had worked at the cupola as
tenders. They applied for their old posi-.
tons and after assuring the management
that they took no part in the riots were
turned over to foreman who took
them into the mills. "This morning We
refused several applications" said
Superintendent Potter.
RAILROAD MEN WILL NOT HELP.
Reports have been circulated that out

An Electric EQUINE.

George E. Benton, who resides on In
diana avenue, has discovered an electric
horse. Benton stepped from a street
car at Wabash and Eighteenth street
while the horses were being trotted. He
placed his hand on the flank of one Of
the animals, q bay mare, and received a
tremendous shock. The car was at
tached to a cable train and sped onward
After it had gone a block Benton re-
turned and experienced a succession of
slight shocks. which gradually died
away as the mare became cooler from
standing. Benton then had the mare
trotted up and down the street for ten
minutes. She came back in foam and
was taken at once to the damp ground.
A dozen men then formed hands, first
wetting the soles of their shoes thor
oughly in the horse trough. AS Benton
put his hands on the mare every man
distinctly felt the shock. "Now one
man let go at time" shouted Benton,
and they did so, the shock intensifying
as each man fell out, SO that at last, when
the number was reduced to three, the
next man cried out, "Some of you
fellers catch hold again; l can't stand
this"
Mr.. Benton sent the mare trotting
again, and meantime climbed a lamp
post. Another man climbed after him
and caught hold Of his hand. He clasped
the post firmly with his legs and gave
his disengaged hand to third man. who
in turn placed his hand on the mares
flank. Benton turned on the gas Jet
and put his index finger on the nozzle of
the jet. Instantly series of sparks
flashed thrcEgh the living chain from
the excited horse and the gas blazed up.
Benton was SO exhausted by this last ex-
pertinent that he had to be taken down
from the lamp post The manager of a
dime museum has offered large sum
to the company for the privilege of ex-
hibiting the horse. Chicago Cor. Kansas

An Ancient Philadelphia Bird.

Poor old Crocky Baldwin, the anti
quated cockatoo at the Geological gar
dens, whose age is variously estimated,
but who is known to be well on to 100
years old, is pining away. Crocky's
days are numbered, and the mournful
old bird seems to realize it Since his
precarious condition was published some
time ago letters have been received at
the Zoo from all parts of the country
expressing solicitude for the condition
of the aged bird. In many of these
epistles offers of various sums have been
made for Crocky's remains after death
has done its work. These offers range
from five dollars all the way up to fifty
dollars, the latter offer having been re-
ceived from a Boston taxidermist.-

To prnveat EtaIamitie4 by Fire.

The first thing which civilized com
n2unity should require in the erection Of
hOcses which ara intcuded to be used for
hotels and trCaters and halls is that they
shall be practically fireproof. II people
are willing to take the risk" the pUblic
should refuse to permit them to take it.
Ii proper and reasonable precautions for
safety increase the expense OF building
rents may be increased, and the price Of
lodging. There need be no fear that
hotel which Is known to be practically
freproof Will not be amply supported
becauS,9 its rates ara higher that thVe ~
a death trap. C4laAities like the burn
ing of the Hotel Royal have become SO
common that it Is not without serious
apprehension that travellers now enter

which is supposed to be designed to help
them in direful emergency merely re-
minds them Of their peril and Of their
probable inability in a sudden alarm to
cope with it.-Harper's Weekly.

One Trouble with the New Dimes.

The new coins out from the mint this
year have run against various objections
based on aesthetic grounds. It has re-
manned for Washington man about
town to discover that the dimes are q
failure from practical standpoint He
has detected a defect beside which the
bullheadedness of the goddess Of liberty
and the eagles attenuated wings are
mere trifes.
This gentleman dropped into the thea
ter on 2 recent evening, and being seized
with desire to ascertain whether the
diamonds worn by the star We're cpnu-
inc, turned toward the opera glass case
attached to the back of the next chair.
He tished a new dime from his pocket
and was about to drop the same into the
slot, according to established usage,
when he found that his dime would not
enter. Further investigation with other
dimes and slots il the vicinity showed
that the new coinage is mistit for one
Of its most universal purposes.
The grave question arises: What is TO
be done with the machines when tht old
dimes drop out Of circulation? The slot

understanding with the director of the
mint before any more coinaSes are pro
