Strike and Tie-Up Threatened.

COLUMBUS, July 1s.-The posting Of
notices in the street car barns of the
Columbus electric railway that there
will be general reduction in the force
of employees, has created widespread
dissatisfaction, and strike and tie-up
is not improbable. Employees claim
that the object is to get rid OF employees
who have worked over year, because
they get the maximum wages. The
company's notice states that the most
efficient employees will be ratained, and
that fhe reduction is due to unusual ex.
penses in the building of new lines. A
meeting OF street railroad mon will be
held, TO decide upon course of action

LAUNDRY LORE.
Scraps Gathered from the Notebooks OF
Experienced Housewives.

What to do with scorched places on
cloth is a question that sometimes puz,
zles the careful housewife. If the
scorch is not too bad, dipping the arti-
Gle in soapsuds and hanging it in the
sun for some hours will be likely to
remove it. If the day is dull hang the
piece before CRATE fire. Scorched
spots that are very bad, and yet have
not consumed the fiber OF the goods,
are said to be restorable by repeated
dipping in saturated solution of
boraX. The saturated solution. as the
chemists call it, consists of as much
salt or crystal as the water will dis
solve. 1t is always safe to put in
little extra; if the boraX stands undis-
turbed in the bottom of the bottle one
is sure of the full-strength solution.
Repeated dippings of this, with expo
sure to sun or fire light, will remove
what are by most housekeepers con-
sidered hopeless discolorntions.
To remove mildew from white linen
rub the linen well with soap, then
,crape some fine chalk and rub it on
the linen. Spread it on the grass. As
1t dries wet it Il little. A second appii-
.ation will remove the spots.
| Silk that has become wrinl1led NAV
be rendered nearly as beautiful as new
by sponging the surface with weak
solution of gum arabic or white glue
| then iron on wrong side.
Ink can be taken ont of linen by
melting a piece of tallow and dipping
the spotted part of the linen into it.
Wash the fabric and the spots will dis.
appear.
The finest silk may be cleaned with
out injury to the fabric or color by
simply applying the pulp of potatoes
| scraped into water.

Birds as Omens.

1t is said to be matter of record
that, when an epidemic of cholera
threatens certain locality, the birds
leave the neighborhood few days be-
fore the appearance of the scourge.
This was noticed in connection with
the recent outbreak of the epidemic at
Hamburg. In 1884 the same phenome-
non occurred at Marseilles and Toulon,
where all the birds, as if actuated by
common impulse, abandoned the plague
stricken cities, and took up their abode
1t Hyeres, which WAS fortunate in es.
:aping the plague The great influx
Of birds at the time was much COM
mented upon by the inhabitants. In
1872 all of the sparrows left the town
y Prezemsyl, Gallicia, two days before
he appearance of the pest, and not u
rngle bird returned before the end of
November, when the cholera had en-
irely disappeared, Let us hope that
;he birds may remain with US thi-

Guiana Indian Customs.

About nine miles above Akyma is
large village of aboriginal Maucuisi
Indians, They are said to be peacea-
BILE savages, who build little grass huts
and go about in puris naturalibus.
Among their singular customs is that
of bandaging the legs just below the
knee and around the ankle, so as to
produce an abnormally large calf, be-
ginning the practice in infancy, as the
Flathead Indians do with their heads
and the Chinese with their feet. Dame
Fashion dictates strange things even
in these remote parts. Their neigh
bors, the Caribs, follow her DEGREES by
making pincushion of the lower lip,
by sticking into it several long, slender
pins of bone or steel, resembling knit
ting needles, or sharp thorns where
pins are unobtainable, which they re-
move for the exigencies of eating and
kissing and afterward return to the
same place. ce.-Philadelphia Record.

METAPnOaiCAllY STARVING.
Sixty Chinese Immigrants Who Nave Oaly Un'
Official Food 10 Eat.

WAsuINGroS, July 2l.--Sixty Chinese
are metaphorically starving on board a
steamer at Portland. Ore, with plenty to
eat at their disposal.
The Hsytien Republics "A steam passenger
ani carrying vessel, recently arrived in
Portland with a large number OF
Chinese, and as 30 Of these could not
produce evidence that they were
entitled to reside in the United
States. they were forbidden TO land. At
the same time the lIaytien Republic was
libeled for smuggling opium and Chinese.
and the owners abandoned the vessel, lssv-
ing the 90 unfortunate Chinese on board.
Believing that the owners had done this
to make the government care for the Chi
nese, the treasury department refused TO
interfere in the matter, and the 60 Ceies
tials were left on board the vessel uncared
for, foodless, and forbidden to land.
A protest from the Chinese minister
against allowing his fellow countrymen TO
starve caused the administration to take
action, and it has been officially decided
that this government has no right TO inter
fere, and that either the owners of the
flaytien Republic must care for their con-
rsband passengers or the Chinese must
starve TO death IN the mids, of plenty pend
ing the disposition of the libel in the courts.
This is the official decision. bat it has
also been determined that the Chinese shall
be fed three unofficial meals day.

Denver banks and commercial houses is

i,y that the people attempted its destruction
in the first three days Of this week.
There have been no suspensions Of mag
ntude for two days and no more are ex-
pected. Banking houses are determined
that they will push no creditors nor serve
attachments upon those who show an honest
disposition toward settling.
Times will probably be hard here until
Congress meets, hut II 10 predicted that II

not take long to place Denver and Colorado
far in advance of where they were when
of assistance from New York. Bank Ex-

closed banks can settle in full and have q
balance left.
The commercial houses that went down
with the banks are in equally good condi-
tion. The Hallock- -SAyre-N Newton Lumber
Company. which assigned Wednesday with
asset. of $500, 900. resumed business today.
The Flanders Dry Goods Company, which
closed for s2oo.0oo, has also resumed.

owner, Mr.. Robert Bonner, $ West 55th
street, this morning to go to his farm, some
two miles back of Tarrytown, N. Y. Sunol
has had winter of perfect rest, as Mr..
Bonner was determined that her near hind
foot, which prevented her being trained last
season, should not only be cured. but
should have every trace of trouble re-
moved.
on the outside as well As being unbalanced,
and she was not able to stand any strain
on it, Mr.. Bonner shod her after his own
ideas, and has the satisfaction TO see her
walk perfectly square on the foot with every
vestige of lsmeness or soreness gone. She
has been walked every morning and even
ing around the stable, which sits in the
middle of two city lots, and will be given
work to prepare her for being trained this
fall.
II think il is more than probable" said
Mr.. Bonner last night. that Sunol will go
into Marvin's hands to be trained and then
given a fast mile. You know what a new
thing the bicycle sulky is, and. as every
one with whom have talked says that il
is at least six seconds faster than the old
fashioned one, think | am justified in
looking for some fast time.
II have three sets of ball-bearing rubber
tired wheels. One set is IS inches in diam
eter, the set we like best is 2S inches, and
the other set is "a inches in diameter. As
there will surely be great Improvements in
them. | am going to wait before buying any
others.

her feet are perfect. My track at the farm
is very fast one, and she will there be put
in condition for fast work"

Trouble with Foreign Exhibitors

They Want to Sell Goods and Deliver
Them at Once.

nsy Fellow Suit.

CHicHso, July al---Trouhle With the
Russian exhibitors At the Worlds Fair may
develop into serious difficulty With ail the
other foreign exhibitors. Foreigners wish
TO s@ll articles and deliver them at once,
and they complain that the existing ar
rangemenfs prevent their making any
money.
Two agents of the treasury department
went into the Russian pavilion in the Man
ufscturers building, yesterday. and de-
msnded the keys of one of the cases. All
the exhibits being in bond they hxd per
feet right TO examine and we're under orders
to do SO. The exhibitor refused to allow
the officers TO open the case and demanded
their authority for demanding the keys.
Being threatened with arrest in case they
refused, he surrendered the keys and the
goods were examined.
The exhibitor was under orders from the
Russian commissioner not to allow an ex-
animation in his absence, and moreover,
treasury agents not in uniform. The Rus
sian commissioner complains Of discourtesy
and demands reparstion. Otherwise il is
threatened the exhibit will continue As
i, was Yesterday and today, chiefly under
cover.
The head OF the United states customs ser
vice at Jackson park, says an examination
was proper. and several things were found
missing. This difficulty has started all the
foreigners in local complainings and there il
danger of revolt against the established
rule all along the line.
The Belgians have written John Boyd

from the competition for awards. They
sllege as cause that exhibits were TO have
been examined by july 20 which has not
yet been done.

WAsHlyGroN. July 2l-The Democrats
in charge of the pension bureau are not
satisfied with suspending and cancelling the
pensions of honest and brave Union sol
diers, but they have taken a new method
of embarrassing the veterans in the North.
For the last few weeks the pension
bureau has stopped examining and allowing
pensions to the Nothern states. The clerks
have been put to work on the Mexican and
Indian war claims, and the only ones
allowed are to soldiers in the South When
questioned about delay of passing the pen
have admitted that the orders are only TO
pass those from the South.
This plan of procedure means that Hoke
Smith and his Southern cohorts. finding
they canno, entirely wipe ont the veterans
in the North, have determined to keep the
money away from them as long as possible
and to put all the money they can into the
