AL1EN Law vIoLArIoNs.
Great Falls and Canada Railway Charged
With Importing Labor.

GREAT FALLS, Mont, March 26.-On
good authority it is said that the Great
Falls and Canada railway, running between
this city and Lethorldgc, Northwest Terri
tory, viii be cited TO appear in few days
before the United States district court at
Helena. to answer a charge of violating the
alien labor law on a number of counts.
Several months ago this company en-
ployed one Buchanan, hiring him in Leth-
bridge, where the labor market is over
stocked, at $50 month, and brought him
to this city to work in the yards. He dis
covered that his wages were lower than
the usual scale for similar services and de-
handed SO per month, whereupon the COM
pany discharged him. In retaliation, he
proceeded to Helena and made statement
to the United States district attorney.
Assistant District Attorney Mcdonald
has been here the past week investigating,
and he is reported to have discovered other
cases Eof a like nature also; that the
company is in the habit of having their
locomotives, which are of American build,
repaired in LethbrIdge, in violation OF law,
because of the same difference in the wage
standard. Buchanan has been placed under
bonds TO appear as the complaining witness.

Yesterday

Yesterday.
LONDON, March 26.-In accordance with
the decision of the Miners Federation
nearly all the miners who quit work on the
18th inst, with the exception of the Dur

of earth that have occurred during the
week of their self-imposed idleness. This
the men refuse to do.
In other celleries there is some friction
in consequence of the Celebrations decision
to limit the work to five days week.
The strikers in Durham, who quit work
not with any idea of causing an advanced
price of coal, but with the intention of re-
sisting a threatened reduction of wages,
number 2000 The newspapers predict that
in this district it will be a protracted strug
gle between the men and their employers.
A large number of the miners are immigrat-
ing to other mining counties and many of
them are going TO America. Several of
the mines in Durham are likely to be seri-
ously damaged by the continued inflow of
water, the owners being unable 10 obtain
sufficient number of men to properly work
the pumps.
The Nottingham miners, numbering 3d.
COO resumed work quietly at the usual hour
this morning. AS a result of the resump-
tion of mining operations, the price of coal
in the district declined 3 shillings per ton.

AMONG THE MAGAZINES.

Agassiz was above all else 4 teacher. His
mission in America was that of a teacher
of science-of science in the broadcast sense
as the orderly arrangement of all human
knowledge He would teach men to know,
not simply TO remember or to guess. he
believed that men in all walks of life would
be more useful and more successful through
the thorough development of the powers OF
observation and Judgment He would have
the student trained through contact with
real things, not merely exercised in the
recollection of the book descriptions of
things. "If you study nature in books, - he
said, when you go out OF doors you can
not find her"
Agassiz was once asked to write text
book in zoology for the use of schools and
colleges. OF this he said: 81 told the pub
fishers that l was not the man TO dc that
sort of thing, and l told them too, that the
less of that sort of thing which is done the
better. 1t is not school-books we want, It
is students. The book of Nature is always
open. and all that l can do or say shall be
to lead young people to study that book, and
not to pin their faith to any other.'
He taught natural history in Harvard col
lege as no other man had taught in America
before. He was ''the best friend that ever
student had - because the most genial and
one had LESS need of an overcoat IN pass
ing Agassiz' house, than any other in that

An Australian pearl-diver, in the April
Century, says that one of the
strange effects of diving is the invariable
bad temper felt while working at the bot
tom of the sea; and as this usually passes
away as soon as the surface is reached, it
may be supposed to be due to the pressure
of air inside the dress, affecting the lungs
and through them the brain. & diver often

A sleep walking sunday school Teacher.

A Sleep Walking Sunday School Teacher.
A young lady of this place who is
treasurer of mission band in one of our
Sunday schools, and who had about
five dollars of the bands money in her
possession, quietly performed feat the
other night that was quite dangerous.
The lady referred to arose at a late hour,
dressed herself, went to the bureau
where she had placed the five dollars
and took it to little room in the house
which the family did not occupy. Gath
ering together a few old skirts she wrap
ped the money up in them and then Sc
curely tied it with string and placed it
in dark, hidden corner.
After this was accomplished she went
into her brothers room, took his loaded
revolver and started for the yard. 1t is
not known just how long she was out of
doors, but the next morning the revolver
was found in barrel at the rear of the
lot When the revolver was discovered
in the barrel it dawned upon the young
lady that perhaps some person had been
in the house and taken her mission
money, and she quickly went to the
bureau where she had the money con-
cealed. On reaching the drawer she
found that it had disappeared. A thor
ough search was given and the money
found in the place above mentioned
Huntington journal.
