Schactfer Over Five Hundred Behind In
the big Billiard Match.
CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-Last nights play in
the billiard contest between Ives and
Schaefter was great victory for Ives, the
score at the end Of the nights play being;
Ives, 1900; SchaeiTer, 265. Both men
played a pretty even game from the start,
but Schneiler had fewer small runs than
Ives the first half of the game, and he
gradually dimished Ives lead OF lis.
After two hours play there was only
fourteen points between the players. Then
Ives nstonished the people and awakcd tu-
multuous applause by getting the balls in
such n postion-an anchor in the lower
right hand corner-and playing them
there as carefully as Schaetfer ever did
himself. 1t was on the forty second shot
that he made the anchor. When 100 was
called and it was still unbroken there was
loud cheering
Two hundred more and the applause
was terrific. SchaciTer's worlds mark of
343 was reach and passed, 400 was scored,
and everybody but Ives WAS excited. On
the lt4th shot the anchor was broken.
Then he made twelve more shots and
missed, leaving him five points from the
goal. Schaetfer then followed with only
six points, and Ives easily ran out
Ives was not only the winner of the
evening, but in every bodys Judgment the
winner of the match there being but one
more nights play, which will open with
Schaeifer over 800 behind

The Strikers StilI United for the Recog-

The strikers Still United for the Recog-
milton of Organized Labor.
The situation at different points along
the line, from nom partisan standpoint,
is shown in dispatches from Associated
Press correspondents, from which the fol
lowing facts are CLEANED:
AT pottsville, Pa; The labor leaders
IN the coal branches seem TO be playing"
he officials, and in consequence the man
agement is puzzled. The men apparently
nave arranged to take turns in failing to
report for duty. One day the engineers
are not on hand, but some OF the train
crews are. The next day some Of the
---:reyva stay nt homo and soIne of the en-
gincets report for work, md so on. BY
thii means the officials are unable TO
know exactly where they stand. The en-
gineers unexpectedly reported for work
yesterday, but there were no fircmen or
brakrmen to be had. At Dclano the of
dciAls confess that they expect at any
moment to have the balance of the reg
ulnr men leave them, when not wheel
will be moved.

WHOM THE GODS LOVE.

You say that being so old
Twas time for him 10 dief
Rings not your comment cold
And even inhuman2 Why
Should tenderer tears be shed
When death lays young lives lev,
Spared years of sorrow and fret,
Spared ages overthrow
When young we are called away,
We shirk untold regret,
For nustere Time will slay
Not merely overselvcs, but yet
Brand with authentic sign
His despotisms elsewhere
Drape wisps of silYering hair
Der eyes beloved-plow line
And furrow on treasured cheeks.
"Whom the gods love die young"
All, mel There wisdom's tongue
With sovereign accent speaksl
Pity the old who die.
The young behind them leave
Such bounteous grief whereby
Fate bids they should not grieve.
Heart rackcd will, many n sigh,
Wounded with many scar
Pity the old who die:
The young are happier far. g..

No COMPROMISE AHEAD.
Lehigh Valley Strikers Settled
Down for a Long Fight.
COMPANY GETS MANY NEW MEN.

From Present Appearances the strikers
Have tho Worst OF the Battle, Though
They Still Show Determined and I'm
broken Front.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Nov. 2o.-The light
between the Lehigh Valley railroad and
Its employees is now on to n finish. The
tneN'begin to realize this forthe first time.
There was hope all along until yesterday
that u compromise might be effected, but
aow that hope has vanished. The ray of
mnshinc that pierced the gloom and gave
encouragement to the hope that the strike
vas nearing an end was dispelled by the
following communication to Chairman
Rice from Messrs Simpson and Watkins
he coal operators delegated at the opera
ors' meeting to visit Mr.. Wilbur aud see
Il he would not assent to hearing the rail
roaders in the matter at issue,
"Owing to your insisting upon the re-
lnstatement of all employees our negotia-
ions for a conference have failed
Mr.. Rice, upon being interviewed on the
situation, said:
Il very much regret that the hopes we
cherished of an early adjustment OF our
difficulties have about vanished. II looks
ike Il long fight, but we are prepared
Tor it,"
The officials say that the old employees
cannot now be received MS an entirety, but
that they may apply for and obtain places
On the same conditions as outsiders.
Superintendent Esser was asked about
the report That seventy out of eighty new
men employed had left work He said the
report was false. He said that they We're
retaining all the good men, and that to-
lay he was overrun with applications.
Many people here now fear that there
will be repetition of the great strike Of
1877, when the I.ehigh Valley road was
tied up for two months. The city aul
numerous suburban towns were under
martial law for month or more though
the strike continued hut little over 4 week.
During the trouble many attempts were
made by gangs of lawless men to burn
buildings, but much property was saved
from the torch by the prompt action of
the military.
The individual coal operators held an
other meeting yesterday and again petit
toned President Wilbur to enter into me-
yotiations with the strikers with view
Of bringing about a settlement. Wilbur
replied that he would open no negotiations
with the strikers.
A Jersey CentralenRineer said at Mauch
Chunk last night that if the Lehigh Val
ley 81 rikcrs seemed at any time in danger
Of losing, fifteen other roads in the coun-
try would be tied up. The fight is for The
recognition Of organized labor
A rumor that the Reading railroad en-
ployes might inaugurate Il sympathetic
