TO RESUME WORK


Thirty-five Thousand Iron Workers At
Pittsburgh Will be Given Employment.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 24.-It has been
officially announced that Monday
morning there would be general re-
sumption of work at Jones & Laughlin's
iron and steel plants, under the rates
agreed upon between the firm and the
amalgamated association. The order
informing the men of the resumption
was received with much Joy in
the ranks of mill workers. At
least $4,000, men will return to
work after an idleness of three
weeks. With the news of the proposed
resumption comes the question as to
what action the Finishers' union will
probably take. There are ninety-six
members of the union who work at
Jones & Laughlin's, and all along they
have said they will not work at the
wages agreed upon. Ifesident Gar
land, of the amalgamated, said Sum
day morning that he believed the
finishers would submit to the newt
able, and return to their positions in
the mill

A sincre attachment to truth, moral
and scientific, is a habit which cures a
thousand little intirmities of mind and
is is honorable to Il man who possesses
it, in point of character, as it is profit
able in point of improvement. There is
nothing more beautiful in science than
to hear any man candidly owning to
his ignorance. 1t is so little the habit
Of men who cultivate knowledge TO do
so-they so often have recourse to sub
tcrfuge, nonsense or hypothesis, rather
than to a plain, manly declaration
either that they themselves do not
understand the subject or that the sub
ject is not understood-that it is really
quite refreshing to witness such in
stances of philosophical candor, and it

The SUMNER GIRL.
In All Her Moods She Makes the Worlt
Brighten.

SrlEnte".
The summer girl is delight and a
delusion. AS an abstract idea, she is
an irresistible and all-conquering Sue
cess, n creature of sweetness and all
the light that is on sea or land. In
reality and individually she is often q
delusion to others and a snare to her
own peace of mind. A profound student
of the summer girl declares that the
chief cause of the restlessness which
often mars her charms is due to her
tense and overstrained desire to have a
good time. The seeker for a good time,
who seeks mcrrily and ca"elessly, usual
ly finds it, and revels in the enjoyment
in summer and winter alike.
But the summer girl in her most
highly organized examples does not
always have the good time that her
youth and her charms ought to bring
her simply because she grasps too
eagerly for the prize. Seeking to have
a good time is good deal like seeking
for four-leafed clovers, the finding is
partly a gift of nature, but more the
result of temperament, and of other
things which are distilled in the subtle
essence of luck.
The summer girl of this season ought
to have good time, for, take her as
she comes, she is an extremely attrac-
tive creature, with all of her rutfles
and tildols and the shoulder furbelows
which fashion has added to her piazza
costume. OF the summer girl in her
tennis, or her cycling, or her mountain
climbing suit, we will not attempt to
speak. 1t is the summer girl in her
muslins who contrives to appeal for.
ever to the eternal masculine, which,
by the way, does not get half the
credit that the eternal feminine has
received, since the days of Goethe at
least
! The summer girl who does not find
joy in repose in her thin best gowns,
as we'll as joy in action in her harder
serges, is after all not wholly summer
girl. She is only a spring girl. She
has not blossomed into knowledge OF
certain sweet secrets which the sum.
mer girl hides away in her heart. In
various moods and at various seasons
the summer girl ponders upon her
knowledge, and whether pensive upon
starlit piazza or sparkling in n sea.
shore ballroom, or merely sitting ON
the shady morning side of the house,
looking at a hammock, the summer
girl in thin white gowu-with OF
without trimmings of lacr-somehow
reconciles beholders to this stupid and
drcary world, and makes them realize
with pleasure that it can never be
truly stupid or dreary, as long as the
summer girl comes up with the rest OF
the June flowers. s.--Boston Transcript

Siam viii Punish Those Who Have
Been Guilty Of Aggression
And VIII Make Reparation to the Fam
ilics OF the Victims Tho French Gov
ernment Orders Their Minister Mt
bangkok to Retire From the City.

PARIS, July 24.-The Siamese govern
ment refuses to submit to the condi-
tions stipulated by the French ultima
tum and the French government has
telegraphed to M. Pavie, its representa-
tive at Bangkok, ordering him to leave
that city within twenty-four hours.
The French government fixes as the
most northern limit of its sphere of in
terest the twenty-third degree of lati-
tude and the northern frontier of Cam
bodia passes the fourteenth degree.
The reply of the Siamese Is far from
satisfactory. Lord Dufferin has not yet
called upon M. Develle, but was expect
ed to do so Monday.
Upon n second demand of the ulti-
matum, Siam agrees to evacuatc the
posts on the left bank of the Malsong
| within u month. In answer to the third
demand, the king deplores sincerely
the loss sustained by France, and the
Incidents at Cam-MonK Kang-C ebay, as
the attack on the French gunboat at
the entrance of the Melam.
Bang Bien will be set at liberty and
every satisfaction given as far as com
patible with the demands of justice
and the independence of Siam, which
the French government declares itself
willing to respect.
The reply continues: 1--WE agree to
punish those who have been guilty of
aggression, in accordance with either
international or French law, and to
make reparation to the families of the
victims"
With regard to the indemnity OF
100000 francs, the king of Siam ad-
mits liability, but proposes that a
mixed commission be appointed to as
certain the exact amount of the in
juries suffered. AS to the immediate
deposit of 100000 francs to cover the
French claim his majesty says that hav-
ing reason to think that this sum ex.
ceeds the damage done, he relies upon
the justice of the French government
to return the balance after inquiry is
made.
This reply not being considered salts
factory in any point the French minis.
ter ut Bangkok will comply with the
instructions previously sent him and
will quit that place.

ROTTEN INSURANCE.
Receiver Chittcnden, OF tho Central Ohis

Receiver Chittcnden, OF tho Central Ohis
Insurance Co.. Tells Tale OF Woe.
TOLEDO, O., July 21.-The affairs OF
the Central Ohio Insurance Co. appear
to have been in very fragile condi.
tion, according to the report of the re.
ceiver, +. s. Chittenden. which was
fled in court.
Mr.. Chittenden says that all he has
been able to find in the way of assets
is s6,717.50 due from agents, according
to the books; notes aggregating sl74. 60,
and office furniture inventoried ut
s292.50. OF this he has been able to
collect only s276. &c. The liabilities,
which grow daily larger, now aggre-
gate Sl10,9S5.07. OF this amount $685.
95l.65 is due on losses and returned
premiums, and the unearned premiums
amount to $40. O33.51.
The rottenness of the concern was
first made evident by the arrest of the
President, s. A. Court, charged with
refusing to show the books of the
company to the state examiner.
The policies were held in the west
and south. The company has already
been refused the privilege of doing
business in Illinois and Indiana.

LEE WALKER,
rhe Negro Rapist, Dragged From
the jail at Memphis.


MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 24.-The lynch
ing at an early hour Sunday morning
Of Lee Walker, the colored man who
assaulted Miss Mollie McCadden, near
sond Station, and on the same day as
-aulted colored girl, and who was
captured Friday, was very similar to
cha Bardwell affair, the body being
:remated after hanging in full view Of
1000 men, women and children. The
attack on the Jail began at IL o'clock.
Il was not believed it would be success
full, the mob being composed chiefly Of
drunken. men and boys, and Sheriff
McLendon ordered his men not to hurt
any body.
The crowd grew in numbers, and at
1915 a. m. broke down the jail gates.
Even then the sheriff would not permit
his men to use their weapons Finally
rush was made, and McLendon was
knocked senseless with chain. He
was carried to a bedroom, and the mob
battered down the doors, found tho
rapist's cell and got him out. He
fought fercely and bit several men se-
verely. He was stabbed and slashed
until the blood streamed from him in
torrents. He was hustled off to a tele-
graph pole two blocks away and rope
lifted up and his then naked body
swung clear off the ground. Then q
big railroad switchman pulled his legs
until his neck cracked. The same man
then mutilated the corpse. The victim
was dead, or nearly SO, before he
was hanged.
There were probably 5000 persons in
the crowd around the Jail, but not
more than 100 persons took an active
part in the assault and subsequent
tynching. They were nearly all rail.
road men. One of them stumbled and
fell as the victim was being carried to
the telegraph pole, and the crowd
trampled on him, breaking his jaw and
probably injuring him fatally. Sheriff
McLendon IS badly hurt. He seems
to have condnssion of the brain.
The rapist tried TO commit suicide
before he was lynched by cutting his
throat with glass bottle found in his
cell After the body was cut down,
the mob raided lumber yard, and,
building a fire, burned the dead man.
The fire was built in the middle of
Front street, near the Jail. By o'clock
the town had become quiet.
Walker was 10 years old, very black
and as strong as a gorilla.
Six months ago he was committed to
jail at Milwaukee for assaulting a col
ored woman named Duck Sondere.
Three weeks ago he was released and
.ame to Memphis. He was overtaken
Friday at the home of his father, near
New Albany, Miss.
Sheriff McLendon arrived shortly
after the colored man was arrested and
slipped him away from a mob that was
forming. Walker confessed as soon as
he was arrested, and said he acted as he
did because he could not help it. Ills
parents corroborated his plea of uncon.
trollable impulse, and say that since
he was fifteen years old he has assault
ed twenty or thirty women.
