War ABOUT DAIRY STOCK.
EWell's Employees Appeal to
the Courts.
They Claim That They Were Induced to Be-
come Stockholders Under Promises That
Were Never Fulfilled.
]. Ewell the chief owner of Ewelps

L. j. Ewell. the chief owner of EwelPs
dairy, is in trouble with his employees.
The majority of them went on strike
Friday night a week ago and Ewell
telephoned TO the Southern police station
for an officer to help in maintaining the
peace.
The men who refused to work at the
dairy state that Ewell was unduIy excited
at the time. for there were no threats made
against him beyond the fact that they de-
manded an accounting.
}. w. Harvey. who was until recently the
supe rintendent Of the dairy, states that the
men were not being paid their wages, and
as a consequence they decided OF to work
for Ewell any longer.
1t appears that about four years ago the
men had some trouble getting their wages
from Ewell, and he proposed to incorporate
the busiDe IS.
He offered to give tie men 10 whom he
was indebted stock in the concern, which
was fixed at $50 share.
He promised them per cent month on
their investments and offered 10 redeem the
stock at any time for the price they had
paid for Ii.
A majority of the men assented to the
proposition and become shareholders. They
received The ! per cent dividends all right.
cash with which to pay the salaries Of the
men and they were induced by Ewell to in
vest in more stock.
Matters have been running along this
way until within the past few weeks when
the men began to feel that they had all the
stock they desired and they demanded an
accounting. An expert was employed to
investigate the books and the discovery
was made that dividends were being paid
from the sales Of stock.
This opened the eyes Of the men to the
condition OF affairs and they demanded Of
Ewell that he fulfill his contract by repur-
chasing their shares of stock at par.
Ewell. it is said, stated that the stock was
worth only one-half OF the amount they had
paid for 1t and refused to pay any more.
The men have placed the matter in the
hands of Attorneys e. NJ. Morgan and T.
NJ. Mcnamara, who will enter suits to-day
against Ewell.
The following are the plaintiffs: j. w.

September s, 1871. As a boy he showed
great love for music. The village school
master taught him TO play the violin and 10
sing and at the age Of II he already knew
enough 10 become a member of the village
orchestra. In 1853 he was sent to school at
ZionitZ where be became familiar with the
organ and the pianofOrte Later he went
to KamnitZ. where he made still further
progress in his musical studies.
Ii was not until October, 1851, that young
AntOnin secured the permission Of his
father 10 adopt music rather than butcher
ing as his life's work. lie then went to
Prague, where be secured a position in q

scores of the masters or even to hear them

Tbeater was established in Prague, and
Dvorak secured a place in the orchestra.
lie thus made the acquaintance of the COM
poser, Kari Bendl, who allowed him TO use
his library of music, and from that time the
young musicians progress was rapid. He
began to compose, but most of his efforts he
kept to himself until 1873. when he was ap-

''SlaYOnc Dances" These were played in
London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna, and
Theodore Thomas brought them forward in
New York in 1879. In 1888 the London
Musical Society performed his 'Stabat

became equally famed. They were all rem

tlme Dvorak popularity and renown have
grown until he has become one of the fore
most OF living composers. and the man who

The force of DyUrak's music comes from
his use Of dialects and idioms derived from
the folk music Of his people. Divorak hns
developed the national music Of the Czechs.
and has adapted it to his own treatment.
During the composers residence In this
city New Workers will have the opportunity
TO hear most OF his productions. He will
give several series of concerts The first
will be with SeidPs orchestra at Carnegie
Music Hall, October q. at which he will
render his ''Siayonc Dances" and new
TIE Deum which has never before been
heard.
The name of the composer is purely
Slavonic and is pronounced in a purely
Slavonc manner. The Bohemian language
has the sibilated r, which is pronounced like
the combination of letters "rscli." His
name is therefore pronounced Dyorschak.

publisher He thought the title would not
be understood, so at his suggestion she
changed it to "Chiidren Whom l Have

Scribners had the same volume in hand In
this country, Mrs. Burnett conceived the
idea of adding another chapter, entitled
"The One | Know Best Of ALL" to be a
recollection of an event or two in her own
childhood. This idea pleased the publish,
ers very much, and she began the additional
chapter.
The little story started out at an easy
canter. but as it went along fresh mem
cries applied their whips, and soon the
story broke into furious run: MRS. bur-
