Stealing q Eide.

A friend from Ireland tolls me the
methods there adopted for cheap travel
ing are not so expensive as these in Eng
land, but aAcy involve greater risk to life
and limb. Tho traveller lies in wait for an
express train and springs on the footboard
Just when the train attains a respectable
speed. He does not open the door of the
carriage, but precipitates himself head
first in through an open window. This
generally has the effect Of surprising any
passenger who may be inside and who OBJ
tained his ticket in the usual way. The time
chosen is usually about dusk, when there
is not much chance Of the guard seeing
the passenger come in. When the train
slackens speed near q station, the passen-
ger opens the door and springs out into
the darkness. My friend informs me that
the uninvited guest is perfectly reckless
about which side Of the railway he jumps
out, and twice he has caught man by
the collar who was trying to spring out
on line of rails on which an express was
coming from another direction, when he
certainly would have been cut to pieces

| duct.
| Mr.. A. A. Hubbard OF the state board
OF trade. who is now in this city. is can.
wasting the stste in the interest OF the
raisin industry; to arrange to put re.
ceipt books teaching how to use rsisins
in cooking into each box that is packed
this season in California.
Mr.. Hubbard makes the following con-
else statement:
First-Raisins contain more nutriment
per pound than meat and much more
than any other dried fruit. (Taken from
Professor Wiokson's report.).
Second-EuropeRn nations use them
as food. amounting to over five pounds
per snnum per capita. while In America
they are used only as luxury and the
consumption amcunta to only one
pound per capita.
Third-On account OF this small con-
sumption and our large production this
important industry has not paid ex.
penses ior the past two years, but by q
judicioua system OF teaching the econ
omy and desirsbility OF raisins as food
the consumption can be easily in
creased to use all that California can
raise.
Mr.. Hibbard has prepared q pamphlet
calledl"Ons Hundred Ways to Use Cali
fornia Rsisins" which will give valuable
lessons when put into the hands of
housekeepers. He estimates that the
expense of getting up and packing 400
copies with each ton of raisins will be
S1.25 per ton.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-After struggle oil
40 days against the united railroads, the
American Railway union in Chicago
has declared off the strike inaugurated
in behalf of the Pullman employees.
Beginning tomorrow morning each
member of the union who responded to
the order to strike will be at liberty to
resume work. The strike is off in
Chicago, except with the employees ol
the Santa Fs and the Chicago and East.

This action was decided on at meet.
ing of the delegates of the "a local labor
unions, affiliated with the A. r. u, held
this afternoon. This action WAS purely
local and the declaration does not even
affect Pullman. Neither President
Dsbs nor any OF the A. R. U. national
officiale were present at the meeting.
The action was taken at mass meet
ing OF railroad men held today, and is
the result OF q secret session of the rep
resentatives OF each local union, the
question being decided by balloting. 1,
does not apply to railroad systems or to
lines outside the city. The fight will
still be waeed on the Santa Fe and the
Chicago and Eastern Illinois roads, and,
it is said by the A. r. o., with every
prospect OF success.
Besides tho official business transact.
ed, the plans for the long.talked oi
country Industrial organization were
discussed. 1t is understood Debs will
prepare documenta for the official
launching Of new organization while
away, and that on his return to the city
he will. with the assistance OF his col.
leagues, establish it upon the plans and
methods now contemplated. The new
organization. 1t 10 said, will bear the
name Of the American Industrial
union.

ginning to Hedge.
OMAHA, Aug. 5.-The South Omaha
strikers have 30 far receded from their
position as to be ready to arbitrate their
differences. They had several largely
attended meetings today. There was
considerable aggressive, but little riotcus
demonstration. After much discussion
OF the situation, the strikers agreed to
trust to arbitration, and appointed a
committee to confer with the packing
people and arbitrate the scale of wages.
The strikers called on the managers OF
the packing houses, and, after come pre-
liminsry skirmiBhing, they were told
they would be given an answer tomor-
row. From other sources it is known
that the answer will be positive re-
fusal to meet the arbitration committee
and to refuse any terma except those
frat propoeed-a complete surrender
and o return OF the men at the old scale.
A car containing 50 butchers arrived
from Chicago at noon, and the men
we're ruehed into the works before the
strikers had time to speak to them.
Several bodies Of aen have secretly
entered the plants and il is now
understood that the packers have en-
gagged butchers to replace those out. and
will be killing as usual tomorrow. Some
trouble is apprehended when the strik-
ers discover that they have lost. The
new men cannot be reached, ss a large
dining hall has been fitted mp in the
various plsnts, and they will eat and
stay there, having no intercourse with
outsiders. Fifty extra policemen are
on duty and no striker is permitted te
approach the place, hence no damage il
likely, even If attempted.

: THE TOWER or BABEL.

History Leaves No Data on Which to Base
an Estimate OF Its Height.
The exact dato Of tho building of ''Nim-
rods Folly" as the Chaldeans say in al
luding to the scriptural tower of Babel
(the Armenians speak of 1t as the Tower
Of tho Confusion Of Tongues), or the height
to which it penetrated the rarefed atmos.
phere Of tho oriental plains will perhaps
never be known. The date of the laying
of the foundation Of the famous structure
Is usually set at 9,247 years before Christ,
or in tho year of tho flood, 101.
The expression of the sacred historian
that its top was to reach unto heaven"
is now generally set down as q strong he
brew phrase denoting very lofty tower,
but not necessarily meaning one that
would reach to tho abiding place OF the
Lord and his hosts. Proof that this Is
probable may be found in several places in
Holy Writ. Tho walls OF the cities Of Ca
naan are described by Moses in similar
phrascology The spies sent out by him
returned and reported that the cities OF
that country were great and were walled
up to heaven. (See Deuteronomy sS and
tx, ~ There Is q Jewish legend recorded
in the Talmud which tells us that God
did not put stop to the building of the
4
tower until after it had reached height
Of 10, 900 fethoms, which is equal to near
ly 10 English miles.
The sacred historians have not in single
instance lett data upon which we can base
a calculation Of it's exact height and gen
eral Dimensions, and it is because Oh this
omission, no doubt, that the imaginative
orientals and other ancient writer's have
given such fabulous and extravagant ira.
ditions concerning it. Even St. Jerome
allegesfr from the testimony of eyewitnesses,
who claim TO have seen and examined the
ruins of the slzyscraping shaft, that in
his day (born 345 A. d. it was over foul
miles high. While considering these un.
tenable notions it may not be out of plact
to mention that other fanciful writers
make it's height range all the way from
single furlong to 5000 miles in height
