BESIDE THE WATER.
The Salvation Army Camps on the Monon-
gahela Wharf.

The Salvation Army yesterday held its
services on the wharf. Although the breezes
from the Monongahela we're blowing very
chilly, hundred or more people stood and
listened to the soldiers talk.
The army paraded over the downtown
streets and then halted on the wharf at the
foot of Wood street. Many people followed
them as they marched along, but the greater
number beat a retreat when they found the
meeting was TO be held in the open air. The
exercises were similar to those last Sunday,
except that they were gone through in more
subdued tone than usual. The police did
not interfere with them.
The army have made Captain John Klein
a gond offer for his excursion boat the City
of Pittsburg. They wish TO hold religious
services on board. Captain Klein is giving
the matter serious consideration.

Thieves That Have Been Marked.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov 1S.-Word has
been brought to Buffalo Of the assassina-
tion OF two more outlaws. The dead
cattle and hOrsethieves are the notorious
Mike Brown and George Hanks, fug-
tive from Montana. Both men were shot
in the back. They were found dead at a
camp fire on Box Elder creek, near the
Hot Springs of Fremont county. -Four
outlaws have been killed in that vicinity
in the same way within two weeks. Mike
Brown was one Of the most enterprising q
and industrious live stock thieves in the
state. He had for several years been
making drives of horses and cattle to
distant markets. Brown stole a great
many ponies from the Indians, but they
were afraid of him. 1t is now evident
that these thieves are being systemati-
cally hunted down. Stock men have
come to the conclusion that there is no
other way to break up the bands OF range
pirates. The vigilantes are travelling two
and three together and simply hunt
down marked mon. There are no fewer
than 80 men in the northern country who
must either leave or be killed.

THE STRIKE SETTLED
AFTER A FIVE MONTHS' SIEGE THE
HOMESTEAD STRIKERS GIVE IN.

Over Two Million Dollars Lost to the
Town of Observation-Disclosures Men Ella
ted Over the Outlook.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Nov. 2O.-The great
strike at Carnegie's Homestead steel
works was declared off after five
months struggle which, for bitterness,
probably never was equalled in this coun
try. The army Of strikers finally decided
to-day to give up the fight. The action
was taken at a meeting of the lodges Of
the Amalgamated association at Home
stead this afternoon, the vote standing 1O1
in favor Of declaring the strike off and 81
against it. Officials addressed the mem
bers, and in plain words told them that
the strike was lost and advised them to
take steps to better their condition. Their
rema4k ks met with considerable opposi-
ton, but when a vote was taken it showed
a majority Of 10 in favor Of declaring the
strike off.
A member Of the advisory board said
to-day that he has been trying to Get the
strike declared off for some weeks, as he
knew 1t lost, and it would have been bet
| ter for the men, as a great many more
would have gotten their places back.
| Those who cannot 90 back are in d bad
| fix, as relief funds will be stopped and
many hundreds of them have nothing to
live on. The people il Homestead, espe-
1 cially the business men. are highly elated
over the declaration to call the strike off,
Tor if it continued much longer it would
have ruined the town Many business
houses have fallen into the hands Of the
| sheriff since the strike has been on
The strike at one time included nearly
10000 men, and the loss in wages will
reach, it is said, in the neigh borhood 81
$2,0O0,000. Then there is an immense
loss to the firm which cannot be esti
mated, but which conservative people
put at least double the amount lost bA
the men in wages. To this can be added
nearly half million dollars paid to the
state troops and costs to the county of All
legheny for riot, treason and8other cause
growing out Of the strike. At I least 8
deaths were directly Or indirectly causct
/ by the strike

Five or six years ago the people of
Colorado City, away out ON the rugged
bluffs of the Colorado river, felt that
they had reached degree of advance
1nent which justified municipal airs.
They thought they ought to have city
council. When they got that they dis
covered that their water supply wasn't
what it ought to be. There came in a
class of high toned settlers who weren't
satisfied with whisky and water, but
wanted all water, and good water, too.
The city council in due deliberation
moved in the matter. A considerable
fund was raised and q deep hole was
bored The drill went down l 200 feet.
1t didn't find good drinking water, but
it struck petroleum, eighty feet of rock
salt and other things.
The boring stopped for awhile. Colo
RADIO City offered its hole for sale, but
found no takers. After awhile some
body thought of making use Of the salt.
The hole was bored deeper. 1t struck
fresh water, which arose to within 200
or 800 feet Of the surface and dissolved
the rock salt a pump was put down.
A windmill was hoisted above the pump.
The wind raised the salt water, which
was run into q reservoir. This west
Texas sun, which shines about 340 days
in the yer, did the rest Colorado City
had salt. Other wells have been bored.
Windlnills have been hoisted il rows
until Don Quixote might think he saw,
BY the moonlight, q whole army defying
him. The process commends itself tc
an economical, not to say y lazy, man.
The water dissolves the rock salt. The
wind raises the water. The sun evap
crates the water and leaves the salt or
| the ground.
Gould anything be easier? Manual
| labor is necessary TO take up the salt
and barrel it, that's all. A foot wind
mill raises from 5000 to 5000 gallons d
! salt water in an hour. Of the salt thus
| manufactured by natures forces Colora
| do City ships out several hundred car
| loads month. A chemical analysis
| shows this salt to be 50 per cent. pure
In a country where there were less sun
shine and wind saltmaking could no
be carried on SO successfully.-St, Loui
Globe Democrat.

Relics of j. Wilkes Booth,

OF the 10000 or more relics of all
kinds preserved i'll the Army Medical
museum at Washington the most inter-
esting perhaps are two portions of hu-
man body all that remains above
ground OF ]. Wilkes Booth, the assassin
Of President Lincoln. These ghastly
but most interesting specimens are num-
bered and catalogued for ready refer
ence. The first Qnountel on little
stand and labeled 4,0S6) is a section, Or
rather, sections of three yertebrn, the
third, fourth and fifth, through an aper-
ture in which a thin wire is placed
showing the course Of the ball. Near
this is the second specimen, suspended
III a wide mouthed vial of alcohol and
labeled 4,OS7. 1t is about three inches
long and reminds one Of a section of
well cooked beef marrow.
Referring to the catalogue, under the
head of No. 4,0S6 we find the following:
Mounted specimen is the third, fourth
and fifth celvical vertebrn. A conoidal
carbine ball entered the right side, com
minuting the base of the right la1nina
of the fourth vertebra, fracturing it
longitudinally and separating it from
the spinous process, at the same time
fracturing the fifth through its pedicle
and also involving the transverse pro
cess. The missile passed directly through
the canal with slight inclination
downward, and to the rear, emerging
through the left base of the fourth and
fifth la1ninR, which are comIiluteGl
and from which fragments We're imbed-
ded in the muscles OF the neck.
The alcoholic specimen, labeled
4,097, has the entry i'll the catalogue
"A portion of the spinal cord from the
cervical region, adversely perforated
from right to left by a carbine ball
which fractured the laminn of the
fourth and fifth verlvbrA." The cord is
much torn and discolored by blood.
AS mentioned above, these two speci-
mems are the only portions OF j. Wilkes
Booths body that We're not consigned to
the grave.-St. Louis Republic.

MRS. MAVERICK DOOMED.
The British Governments Reply to Pc
tition for Her Release.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The case Of
Mrs. May brick, the young American wo-
man confined in Waking prison on a
life sentence for numbering her husband,
near Liverpool, several years ago, is the
subject Of renewed agitation. Gail Ham
ilton, the we'll known writer, has taken a
deep interest in the case, and it was
largely through her efforts that petition
was sent to Queen Victoria asking that
the unfortunate woman be pardoned and
released from prison. The petition was
based on the assertion that no proof was
adduced on the trial of Mrs. Maybrick to
connect her with the crime charged and,
further, that the commission of the crime
itself was not proved. In support of
these assertions Commissioner Addison,
the leading lawyer for the prosecution,
was quoted as persisting in saying, up to
the last moment, even after the Judges
summing up, ''that the jury could not,
especially in view Of the medical evil
dence, find verdict Of guilty"
This petition was signed by Mrs. Har-
rison, the wives Of the members Of the
cabinet, including Mrs. Blaine, and many
prominent ladies all over the country. It
was forwarded to England, and ultimate
" found its way to the office Of the home
secretary. The petition received semi
official character BY being forwarded
through the state department and the
United States legation in London, and
the response to it was communicated
direct to this government by the British
officials. This reply, which has not been
made public, Is reported to be exceed
ingly caustc in its terms. So much Sc
in tact as to cause Gail Hamilton, in her
last letter On the subject, to refer to it as
''sense]ess, vulgar and brutal insolence
toward a friendly Republican nation
| pleading for its own citiZens.' The re-
sponse is said to characterize the petition
| as the most impudent paper that evel
found its way to the office Of the home
secretary and wholly unprecedented.
Impol tunities are still made at the
state department to interest itself in Mrs
| Maybr.ck' S behalf, but it IS probable tina
further efforts in this direction will be
confined to individuals and be Of an un
ofaeifi4 character.

Money In an Old Shoe.

It seems that some people have a
mania for concealing valuables in odd
and ridiculously unsafe places. A par
ticularly odd case was brought to light
recently. While looking over the effects
of the late Alonzo Belts in his room in
Reading, Mich, a sister found in a
cheap memorandum book these words,
''You will find money in an old shoe. !"
Off in one side of the room she found an
did pair of arctic overshoes, and in
them was $1,000 in money, checks and
notes.
