hope DO gone men and women may
iinger in a half-existence that Is not
life and often is scarcely preferable to
death. If hope be present to supply the
reeon with every shock OF adverse cir

seems better worth living than if there
we're no difficulties to be overcome.
This Is probably because OF the con-
slant intellectual activity required to

BUFFALO, Aug. 24.-On the side of the
strikers the material events of yesterday
Were the accession to the ranks of the
switchmen of the Delaware, Lackawana
and Western and the Buffalo, Rochester
and Pittsburg, which completes the tie-up,
if such it may be called, of ali the roads
centering in Buffalo. The men of the lat
ter road who quit work late in the after
noon are not numerous, and their action
does not cut any figure, as the road termi-
mates in Buffalo on the tracks controlled
by the Buffalo Creek Terminal company,
whose men were already out. Its only
significance lies in the fact that the Roch-
ester and Pittsburg is the great soft coal
carrier for this and the up lakes territory,
and with it in the strike all the coal roads
centering at the port of Buffalo are in
volved.
Importance of the Lackawanna.
The Lackawanna addition to the in
volved roads is of more Importance, as its
tracks and trestles are numerous and will
have to have protection if there is q
continuance of the tie-up. In addition to
its loading trestle at the mouth of the
harbor and its extensive freight docks at
the foot cf Main street along the water
front it has a big storage trestle east of
the city line in Cheektowaga in about the
same location as that of the Lehigh VAL
ley, which has been under guard of three
companies of the Seventy-fourth regi-
ment for the past week. this post being
an isolated one. about three and Q half
miles east of the city line.

REMARKS OF THE LEADERS.

Gompers at Chicago Working for the
Strikers-Debs' Plain Words.
CHICAGO, Aug. 24.-President Gompers,
of the Federation of Labor, who has been
in this city since Monday, has had some
important communications with the lead
ers of the strike at Buffalo. What the ex-
act nature of these communications is
the president declined to state, but he is
willing to admit that the federation in
tends taking part in the dispute. What
the result of the .federation's part in the
struggle between the New York Central
and it's employees may be it is impossibl
for the moment to say.
Wants u General Strike.
Judging from Mr.. Gomper's own words
its effect will be to prolong the battle un-
til the demands of the men are conceded,
and possibly to cause a general strike if
their demands be not granted wit hin a
reasonable period. He advocates an ANAL
gamation of the various railroad organiza-
tions. and he further declares in language
which shows that it is not the mere ex-
preston of haphazard opinion that the
trouble, so far from nearing termina-
tion is only at its commencement.

No Sympathy Strike Of Firemen.

TERRE HAUTE. Ind, Aug. 4.-Grand
Secretary Debs, of the Brotherhood Of

no strike of the firemen at Buffalo could
be legally ordered under the existing con-
ditions without conflicting with the con-
stitution and laws of the order. He was
very sure that the men would remain at
work, and declared that a sympat hetic
strike was entirely out of the question.

How the Jinglet Gets inside.

The making of sleigh-bells is quite an
art. The little iron ball is too big to be
put in through the holes in the bell, and
yet it is inside. How did it get there?
The little iron ball is called 'the jing-
let" When you shake the sleigh-b 1t
jingles. In making the bell this jinglet
is put inside little ball OF mud, Just the
shape of the inside of the bell. Then a
mold is made just the shape of the out
side OF the bell This mud ball with the
jinglet inside is placed in the mold Of
the outside, and the metal is poured in,
which fills up the space between the
ball and the mold. When the mold Is
taken off you see a sleigh bell, but 1t
will not ring, as it is full Of dirt. The
hot metal that the bell is made OF dries
the dirt, so 1t can be shaken out. After
the dirt is all shaken out OF the holes in
the bell the little iron jinglet will still be
in the bell and will ring. 1t took good
many years TO think out how to make a
sleigh bell.

pension offlce 20 ascertain what there IL
defective in the application OF the writer
| for pension. A gentleman from the
Agricultural Department requests me to
accompany him to my home, where he Is
to deliver lecture to some OF my con-
stituents. Another wants the Con-
gressional Record sent to him. An APP
plicant for pension wants TO know where
his papers are. One of my constituents
writes for me to secure him a place in
the Government departments. Another
wants his pension matters looked up,
but does not give the number OF his case.
Another wants n position in the Govern
ment printing Office. In another letter
the gentle man gives an account OF trouble
he is having over the exactlon of duties
from him for goods brought to the GUS
tom house. This requires investigation
at the customs division, Tr, a sury De-
partment, and an examinatiCn of the
law, which shows the duties were prop
erly collected. The pension Office mott
fies me of the Allowance of "a pension.
The office also wants to know how an
applicant for pension in my district
spells his name. Another correspond mt
wants information as TO the foreign in
surance companies doing business at
the national capital. A pension appli-
cant wants to know all about the surgi-
cal report in his case. Another wants
me to have n medical examination as to
his condition made at his home, bee tuse
he is unable to travel. Al her letter
is on the subject of river and harbor i'm
provements. Another gentleman wants
me to ascertain what action has been
taken in some land case he has before
the Government.
These are examples OF requests con-
tanned in nearly hundred letters.
Each one requires reply and most OF
them involve writing letters to the de-
partments or making personal visits.
Many require long personal cXamina-
tons of department records ana an UNI
winding of lots of red tape. Most OF the
matters are such as must be looked into
before going to the Capitol.
