The great strike Is ended and the lOOms
and shuttles of Olneyville's big industries
are again in motion. The long ten weeks
of idleness have finally worn away and
verybOdy is heartily glad to see matters
amicably adjusted. Ii is estimated that
over $500, ,0O0 in wages has been lost, and
and the strikers go back with very little
gained except an organization. During
the ten weeks of the strike about SO, 900
has been contributed TO the relief fund
There has been much suffering, and il
will be some TIM before tle effects of tn
strike will pass away. Olneyville has
enjoyed many years of pace and plenty.
and this was rude awakening To the
realization ofindustrial troubles that have
occurred in other manufacturing CEN
ters. 1t is hoped that the strike will teach
leasous OF reason, tolerance and economy.
and that in the future the relations be-
tween employers and employed may be
such that strikes will not be considered
necessary.

ALLIGATORS LIKE THIS FAMILY.

They Ate the Old Man and Little Girl and
Had a Taste OF Each of the Sons.
AS an instance Of strange ecoincidences,
there IS ling near this place family
whose history would seem to exceed the
bounds Of credibility. Seven years ago
the father. old Daddy Dick, as he was
called, sat down on the banks of the
Caloosahatchee river and is supposed TO
have fallen asleep. At any rate, only his
hat and rod were found on the bank that
night, while heap Of clothes and crushed
bones under floating log told of his
death by an alligator He left two sons
and little girl years old.
One day this child wandered down to
the river, and her mother arrived Just in
time to see her drawn under the water
by the long, black snout of an alligator
Last year Dick, the namesake of his ia
ther and man Of 30, also went fish
ing in the river, and the day being warm
closed his eyes for nap, to be awakened
by his leg disappearing down the throat
Of one of these reptiles. He would have
been pulled off his log, but cast his arms
about a tree near by and held on, but he
had to sacrifice his leg, which the gator
bit off just above the knee. 1t was the
right one.
The end of the singular history of this
family occurred last week. The other
brother, Lem, was padding down TIE
river in dugOut when his clumsy craft
was upset by an enormous alligator. a
race then began for the shore between
the man and the reptile, but just as Lem
gained the bank and was pulling himself
up to safety the alligator seized him by
the right leg and drew him back. He
called loudly for help, and his brother
came running out Of their cabin with a
shotgun, and without waiting to take
aim fired into the water. The bullet hit
Lem in the other leg and broke the knee
cap. He would have sunk now, for the
reptile, which still had him, was for div
ing to get out of the way Of the fusillade
Dick was pouring into the river, but the
drowning man caught at the dugOut,
which was floating bottom upward and
within his reach, and resisted the gator s
efforts to draw him under.
DICK now succeeded Ill KllLnS the
beast by shot through its head aud
then got Lem to the shore. But he had
to have both legs amputated, for the
alligator had broken one into several
pieces, splintering the bone terribly,
while Dicks shot had shattered the bone
of the other, so as to render that also a
menace to his life if not removed. Lem
declares his intention Of sitting some dis
tance back upon the bank Of the river
and killing every alligator that dares to
lift its ugly muzzle above the surface

MRS. BENT'S TRAVELS.
She Accompanies Her Husband In His /

She Accompanies Her Husband In His TX
plorations-An Abyssinian Adventure.
The woman traveller is becoming ev-
cry year less Of a novelty. Recently
Mr.. and Mrs Theodore Bent. pair of
indefatigable English globe trotters, -
started for south Arabia TO continue the
explorations they have been making in
various countries. They began th..ir
work in 1884 by digging along the
shores Of Greece. The next year they
went through the % Cyclades isles and
carried a good many objects back to
the British museum. During her first
visit to Greece Mrs. Bent was unac-
quainted with the language, and the
people pronounced her nice, very nice,
but dumb. Three years later she re-
visited them, and, much TO their sur
prise. conversed fuently. In 1886 they
visited Thasos, an Egyptian island, and
the next year sailed along the coast of
Lycia. In 1889. wishing to go still
farther afeld, they started for Bahrein,
OH the Persian gulf, thence going across
Persia and over the Caucasus, attended
by a special escort from the shah.
On all these expeditions Mrs. Bent
"rOughed it, like the rest. A tent was
her only shelter, and she slept in ham,
mock. The scarcity of water was the
greatest privatiOn, for in some places
the supply had to be so carefully hus-
banded that baths were an impossible
luxury, and even tea was sometimes
impracticable.
The most dangerous expedition made
by Mr.. and Mrs. Bent was TO MasnOna-
land. They started in January, 1891,
reached the ruins of Zimbabwe in June
and retraced their steps through path
less country via Beira, reaching Eng
land IN January, 1898. They immedl-
ately returned to Abyssinia, where the
natives became so fond of them that
they would not allow them to leave.
This was an uncomfortable sort of pop
ularity, and after the travellers had
been twice defeated in attempts to get
away the situation became decidedly
unpleasant.
Hearing that troops were pouring in
and that there was a prospect Of serl-
Gus fighting, Mr.. Bent said that they
must make a strong effort TO escape.
Mrs. Bent is an ardent photographer
and was at the time engaged in develop
ing some negatives she had made of the
Abysslnian women around her. She
finished her photographs first, and then,
watching for a favorable opportunity,
the little party mounted mules, and as
sisted b. an Italian officer and 400 SOL
diers who had been sent to rescue them
managed to escape from their devoted
Abyssinian friends.
Mrs. Bent brought away the negatives
she had persisted in finishing, and these
show the costume of an Abyssinian
woman to consist Of two garments-a
pair of trousers fitting tightly around
the ankles, and a long, loose Overdress
lavishly worked round the neck and
down the tapering sleeves, which are
so tiny at the ends that one can hardly
imagine how a womans hand could
get through the cuffs.-New York Sun.

Princess Marie of Greece.

Princess Marie of Greece is the prin-
cess whose name has been so frequently
mentioned of late as a bride for the
Russian czarowitz. She is 16 years of
age, belongs to the same religion as
the czarowitz and might make him a
good wife were it not for the fact that
she happens TO be his first cousin, her
father, King George, being brother of
the czarina. And there is nothing which
the canons of the Greek church more
strictly prohibit than matrimonial un
ions between first cousins. The young
princess is round faced and plump OF
figure, not particularly pretty, but hav-
ing the vivacity and fresh coloring of
early girlhoOd. Exchange.

Non NIoItke,s Predicament.

Won Moltke once went to Lindau, as
he thought, incognito. He ordered a
room on the ground floor IN the Bay
erische Hof and went to bed early, but
forgot to draw his blinds down. When
he was just going to sleep, he heard
music drawing near. He had been
recognized, after all, and was going to
be serenaded again. The difficulty was
how to get dressed without being seen.
He dared not strike light. But pres
emily the glare of torches lit up his room,
and the curious crowd stood close to the
windows, their noses pressed against
tho panes. In spite of that, be felt that
he must rise, so he got up and dressed.
But as he put on each piece of his APP
parel the feat was greeted with loud
and prolonged applause. Francisco

Achilles and the Tortoise.

There is one paradox which upon its
face appears to be very easy of sOlu-
ton, but which, after careful study,
does not pan out SO well. The story
was first told upon gentleman named
Achilles, who was rather prominent in
early political times, and who had a
reputation as an all round athletic. He
could run, and run fast at that. One day
he started to catch tortoise, which was
as slow in those days as he is today.
Achilles was some distance behind the
tortoise and set out to capture it. Achil-
les went twice as fast as the slow Old
tortoise and gained constantly, but he
never caught it. No matter what prog
ress Achilles made, the tortoise went
ahead just half as far. By this time the
distance between the two, had they lived
to this day, would have been infinitesi-
NAL, but yet ii Achilles and the tortoise
ran with the proper mathematical pre-
cisiOn there would still be an interval
between the two.-St. Louis Globe

WORLDS FAIR.

Yesterday an Interes ting Day at the
Exposition Grounds.
CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-The weather con-
tinues bright and pleasant.
To-day was an interesting one at the
Worlds Fair. 1t was Virginia day and
the Virginians dedicated Mount Vernon
House (Virginia's State building) on
this, the anniversary of what is claimed
the meeting of the first legislative body to
assemble in America, which took place
some time in the seventeenth century at
Williamsburg. Senator Daniel delivered
the oration and General Fitzhugh Lee
was among those present.
The knights of Pythias of Illinois also
had a day at the fair. They marched
gayly in with plumes and banners under
the command of Brigadier- G General J. II.
Barkley of Springfield. The exercises
We're held in Festival Hall, at which
Charles II. Barnes of Jacksonville made
the principal speech.
The fishermen also appeared and the
Chicago Fly-casting Club dedicated the
Isaac Walton Cottage, this being the
300th anniversary of the birth of the
father of the gentle sport.
The total admissions were I35, 0I0. of
which I06, S}S were paid.
