IN THE WORLD OF LABOR
Every Department of the
 Homestead Mills Idle.
ALL THE WoRKMEN DISCHARGED.

Employees of the Bay View, Wis, Mills Leave For an Indefinite Period--MahOn- ing Valley Works Close--Glass Factories Shut Down in Bellaire.
 PHILADELPHIA, July 1.-Every de- partment of the immense Carnegie steel works at Homestead have been shut down, and about $500 men have been the custom of the Carnegies and all other mills to discharge their men on the night of the expiration of the yearly contract.
 The men had declared positively that they would strike at the date of the ex- piration of the yearly contract. This term of expiration was to occur at 6 o'clock a. m. At midnight the firm forestalled the men and flatly de- clared a shutdown. Instead of being a the action of the firm has made it a lockout.
 Over one hundred Pinkerton men armed with Winchester rifles have gone to the seat of the trouble.
 The preparations made by the owners show that they are going to make a vigorous fight.
 Bloodshed is expected by many, and the opinion is universal that things have reached such a stage that settle ment or compromise on either side is an impossibility.
 The mill workers protest that they are fighting for principle, and the com pany protests that it is fighting to pre- serve rights as sacred as those of the men, and will not be dictated to.
 The members of the Amalgamated Association contend that 1t is really a strike on the part of the workmen for higher wages, and that they can hold out for three years, if necessary, and that there will not be a hungry man, woman or child during the time.
 At 10 o'clock 5000 workmen assem- bled in open meeting at the Opera House and thoroughly canVassed the situa- tion.
 The meeting was orderly and the several addresses counseled strict ob- servance of law and order.
 A resolution was adopted that dur ing the lockout no member of the Amalgamated Association should be permitted to leave the town without 8 special permit from the lodge officials, under penalty of dismissal from the organization.
 Another resolution was unanimously adopted that the day mechanics and day laborers shall be called out to-day Committees were appointed to watch all trains and entrances to the town to pre- vent the importation of outside work men.
 Twenty of the Amalgamated Associa- tion men were sworn in as special off cers by the Burgess and will aid in pre- serving order. The locked out men an ticipate the arrival of Pinkerton men and are prepared to welcome them. The mill officials refuse to talk on the sub jecJ
 Eight effigies of proprietors and off cials ornamented as many telegraph poles in the vicinity of the mills.
 At noon good order prevailed throug h. out the town and the locked out work men were assembled in groups quietly | discussing the subject.

He Fails to Pay His Wife Alimony and She
 Will Prosecute Him.
 NEW YORK, July 1.-Robert B. Man tell, the we'll known actor, is threatened with imprisonment.
 Last November he had some trouble with his wife, we'll known OF the stage as Marie Sheldon, and the couple sepa- rated, MT. Mantell agreeing to pay his wife weekly $75 for her support. This he did until about three weeks ago, when the payments ceased.
 Mrs. Mantell has now employed coun- sel to take proceedings against the ac- tor, and if he does not pay up the ar rears and the weekly alimony when it falls due he is likely to go to jail.
 Theatrical men say that Mantell s finances are not in prosperous condi- tion and that his failure to pay alimony was probably due more to his inability to pay than his lack of inten tion to keep his contract.

wha, Cuts Down the Profits.

You have no idea of the calls made upon the average merchant for contfi- buttons to every conceivable charity. The senior member of this concern was going over the books in January, and when he glanced at the footings in the charity book, as we call it-a book where every dollar expended in charity is entered-he said something must be done. Either the house had to chop on charity accounts or go out of business.
 Some persons imagine that these de- mands are made periodically. They are incessant. All applications of this char acter must come to my desk, and there isn't day that receive less than half dozen letters begging for assistance, while the personal applications arc SO numerous that we have had to make n rule that they must be made between cer- tain hours. Some of these charities are exacting. One when refused threatened us with boycott. We probably would not have suffered financially from any thing of the sort, but we didn't care to have any notoiety in connection with such a matter and submitted to being bled, for that was what it amounted to.

Now suppose its ancestors had married at the age of twenty-one, from the time of our Lord -ffty-six generations--howm many grand fathers has that baby had?
