a GENUINE STRIKE
N1en obj Ject TO Reduction Frarn
$I TO go Gents.

The new cotton factory being erected
by the Graham Manufacturing com
pany near the passenger depot
has just passed through a strike that
while it lasted, was about as stubborn
as strik IS ever are. Work had been sus
pended on the building for a time, but a
few days ago it was resumed. The un
skilled laborers were paid 81 day. 1t
was decided by the company to reduce
the wages to 90 cents and the men were
SO informed, and the strike was the re.
suit. The laborers said they would not
work under the reduction and the com
pany as firmly declared that the reduc
tion must stand. 1t is said that some
of the strikers made threats that new
men should not go to work on the build
ing. But new men were put on at 9O
cents by MIR. Valentine, who represents
MIR. Graham in that gentlcman's absence
from the city, and work is now progress
ing.
One OF he strikers. carpenter named
Jones, was assaulted, it is said, while
passing along Southside avenue few
nights ago. His assaiant is unknown
but it is thought the assault was the
outcome of some offensive remarks ut.

Why. most assuredly, haven't you heard

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 1.-Judge Mar
shall ]. Clarke has rendered decision
releasing Stephen A. Ryan from custody.
This is the end of the famous contempt
case. Ryan failed and was sent to Jail

to pay into cot.Tt certain m oney which he
was declared to have in his possession
He denied that he had the amounts
specified. or indeed any amount except
that which was turned over to the re-
ceiver. The fight has been long one
The litigation began May &c, 1891. For
1 3 months Ryan was in Jail for con-
tempt. The assets of his firm, which
failed, have gone to pay the costs of the
litigation and creditors get nothing.
Ryan is now free man.

land, in particular. was in excellent spir-

ury; but no definite plan of relief was dis
cussed with any view to immediate ac-
ton.

The Heroic Hen.

From the Churchman.
A friend has lately told me the following
story: In the western part of Massachu-
sets a man had a fine stock farm; that is.
farm for raising cows and horses But a
few weeks ago fire broke out In the barn,
and burned not only the building and the
hay, but most of the animals also After
the fire the owner walked over the ruins
1t was a sad sight to see the charred bodies
of his fine Jersey cows and his high-spirited
horses, to say nothing of the money lost
with them. But at the end of the barn he
saw a sight which touched him more than
all the rest. There sat an old black hen
He. wondered that she did not move her
head to look at him as he came near her
but he thought she must be asleep He
poked her with his cane, and to his sur
prise the wing which he touched fell into
ashes. Then he knew tnat she had besn
burned to death. But out from under nor
came faint little peep, and pushing her
aside with his cane, the man found-what
do you think?-ten little live yellow chick-
ems! The poor hen had sacrificed her ovzn
life to save them, ard had held her place IN
the hre as Casabianca held his on the burn
ing deck. That sight touched the man more
than everything else, and he has to own
that his eyes grew a little more moist than
usual.

THEY NEVER WILL.
The Conductor Could Not Make Her
lnderstand the Rules:

From the Detroit Free Press
woman stood at the corner of Baker
and 18th streets and waved her parasol for
the car to stop.
The driver nodded his head.
She waved a parGsol in one hand and
shopping bag in the other
The driver nodded and pointed and stopped
the car on the other side of the street.
She came limpins over the pavement with
swapping eyes and flushed face, and as she
put her foot on the lower step she ex-
claimed:
Are all you blind and deaf on this CARP
The conductor rang two bells and made no
answer, and when she had taken a seat
inside a passenger asked:
Why didn't you explain that she was on
the wrong side of the street for the car
coming down.
My dear man, it would have been breath
thrown away" he replied. THAT woman
lives around here and has been riding on
this line for five years. I've explained and
explained and so has every other conductor
but what good has 1t done? Not one woman
in twenty will ever get il through her head
that car can't stop in the center of
crossing and block a street. and so must
put up with her sass and look for our re-
lief beyond the stars

TRAPPING AN AUDIENCE.
A Temperance Lecturer Who Knew
How to Secure One.


Some years ago an eccentric genius. the
Rev. Thomas p. Hunt, used to give tenn
perance lectures. says Frank Harrison's
Magazine. One night he announced that he
would lecture in Easton, Pa. Now, tenn
portion of that burg.
The women, however, were all for the
pledge" and consequently on Hunts first
visit not a man showed himself. The
benches were pretty well filled with wo-
men, though. and Hunt commenced: but in
stead of temperance, he took them to task
about the vanity of dress, &c. They wore
great stuffed feather sleeves then. They
the sleeves-caught 1t, then the tight lac
ings. and on through the whole cata-
logue of female follies, but no word about
temperance.
The ladies went home nearly mad, told
their husbands about it, and voted old Hunt
z regular humbug.
He announced that he would lecture at the
same place the next night. Long before
the time appointed the people began to ar
rive, and when Hunt hobbled down the aisle
the building was completely filled with
men. The old fellow looked about. chuckled.
and said in a low voice: Hogs, I've got
you now!'
The audience stared.
AHA, hogs, I've got you now!' he re-
peated.
After the crowd had got quiet little, the
lecturer said:
Friends, you wanted to know what
meant saying, Hogs, I've got you now
and I'll tell you. Out west the hogs rum
wild, and when folks get out of meat they
catch young pig, put a strap under his
body, and hitch him to a young sapling
that will just swing him from the ground
nicely. OF course he squeals and raises a
rumpus, when all the other hogs gather
around to see what is the matter, and then
they shoot them at their leisure. Last night
l hung a pig up. 1 hurt ii little, and it
sQuealed. The old hogs turned out tonight
to the fun, and I'll roast YOU
And 80 he did, pitching into his favorite
vice with evident relish and gusto.
