TO RUIN MIR. PULLMAN
The End Sought by American
Railway Union Leaders.
RAILROADS CONDEMN BOYCOTT.
All the Roads Running Out of Chicago
Will Insist on Hauling Sleepers
as Usual.

CHrcAeo, June 25.-At noon tomorrow
the American Railway Mon will begin
the fight against the Pullman Palace Car
Company. Vice President Howard said:
1--WE are going TO bankrupt George NJ.
Pullman in a short time. We have shut
up his works at Ludlow and st. Louis. and
shall be able to close his last door by next
week. He will be rendered completely
helpless inside of ten days unless he comes
TO terms"
Attorney Reynolds, speaking today for
Mr.. Pullman, said: "The Pullman COM
pany is prepared to stand by its original
position in this matter to the end. Per-
sonally have not the least doubt as TO
what the outcome will be. 1t will. beyond
question, result in victory for the unem-
ployed. We have about $50 men working
in the shops at Wilmington. DEL, where
the American Railway Union made an
unsuccessful attempt to organize the en-
pioyes. There are no indications at pres
ent that the strikers will be able to draw
the men at this point into the fight"
The Pullman Company tonight issued
statement regarding the strike and pro-
posed boycott. After reviewing the situa-
ton and stating that the strikers have
500, 900 in wages, the document concludes
with the statement that the boycott is
threatened because the company will not
agree 10 submit to arbitration of the ques-
ton whether or not it shall operate its
shops at Pullman under scale of wages
which would cause daily loss TO them.
Anticipating the threatened boycott
against Pullman cars by the American
s,f
roads which have terminal in Chicago
practically decided today that all Pull
man cars will get out with the
3rains, or the trains will remain
at the depots until they can go
with their usual Pullman equipment.
This decision was read at the general man.
ayers session which was called togetherin
special meeting for the purpose of consid-
ering the proposed boycott Resolutions
were adopted at today meeting condemn
ing the boycott and asserting the
intention of the roads represented to act
unitedly IN resisting the proposed move of
the union. Twenty-Five hundred railroad
men attended mass meeting held in the
Empire theater tonight to consider the
Pullman strike. The proposed boycott
was heartily Endorsed and speeches by
President Debs and others were enthusi-
astically received. The speakers were
emphatic in their condemnation of the
Pullman company, and confident of sue
cess.
ST.. Louis. June 25.-The employees of the
Pullman Car Company's works in this city
struck today.
LUDLOW. KY. June 25-Two hundred
employees of the Pullman company struck
today in pursuance of orders from Chicago.

CLEVER HINDOO JUGGLERS.

i letter from New York to the Philadelphia
Q'a) Ledger of FEBRUARY 16, says For the
amusement of his grandchildren and their
young friends, William E. Dodge this after
noon threw open his handsome residence, at
No. 262 Madison avenue, Tor a performance
by troupe of very clever 1Iindoo jugglers

were necessarily produced minus the en-
enlargement Of the usual apparatus. The
tearing Of a turban into 20 pieces and ar-
parently restoring it, and the popping Of corn
in cotton shirt without fire mystitiel the
audience, but the feature of the afternoon was
the Iiiudoo basket trick which it is said has
puzzled the Prince of Wales.

Ciyi;iziDg the Africans,

Mrs. NJ. French Sheldon is a woman
of enterprise. She proposes to lead a
colony Of white people into eastern Afri-
ca to civilize the negroes and incidental
ly make great fortunes for the white
settlers themselves. She found that in
eastern Africa was much land of extraor-
binary fertility, only waiting for civil
lized agriculture to make it yield enor-
nous returns. Minerals are there in
vast quantity, too, among them gold and
silver, while the forests will furnish
lumber enough to supply the world for
the next two centuries apparently.
Mrs. French Sheldon wants her white
colonists to teach the negroes how to
make banana -four and sell their fruits
and other products. If banana -four will
make better bread than that sour, half
cooked, fermenting compound American
bakers thrust upon us at present, then
we do wish success to the colony.
But most of all the lady wants to civil.
lie the negroes. She wants to make
them live in houses like white people, to
eat white peoples food and to wear civil.
liked clothes. But will they be any hap.
pier or healthier than they are now
when they begin to have nervous pros
tration, dyspepsia and corns?

MANCHESTER.
sheehan Defended.


Mr.. Editor In your issue Of last
week ! noticed an article on the ball
game between the Manchesters and
the Laureates of Troy, which does in
justice to Sheehan, the pitcher of the
Equinox Racers. In the first place it
says that eight runs were made. Now
that is wrong as only six men scored
in that inning. AS for the batting
ability of the Manchesters / wish to
inform you that it is done with their
mouth and not with the "stick." Now
about Sheehan's "buzz saw curves"
and "shoots" they puzzled them so
bad that out of the five games played
between them and the Equinox
Racers, the Manchesters could not
win one of them. Now about that
cabbage lot: up to this season it had
always been the Manchester's lucky
diamond, as they have in seasons
past had the best end of the games
played between them and the Equi-
nox Racers, but as we gave them a
surprise this season they feel sore and
are trying to roast Sheehan. And
Furthermore as we have not met with
a defeat this season and played all
teams possible to in the county we
claim the championship Of Benning-
ton county and are willing to defend
It's title for fun or money. If the
Manchesters in passing by the "cab-
bage lot" will look at the old back
stop they will notice quite number
of brooms that tells the tale of the
Equinox Racers games on the diamond
for the season of "a. Hoping this
meets with your approval in publish

ThaTyranny of Clothes.

Some of the friends and acquaintance
of that eminent author, Rudyard Kip
ling, at Brattleboro, VT, are not right
sure that he is not little bit queer" in
his mind. With the common herd it is
better. to be dead than to be queer"
They can never forgive anybody for be-
ing different from themselves, and any
body who is different is queer.
The fact on which the allegations Of
Mr.. Kipling's eccentricities are based ii
that he will walk all over the country
yea, speak it with bated breath, even in
the sacred streets of Brattleboro itself
with old clothes on. His hat is an an
Gent sombrero, weather beaten; his over
coat is actually shabby, and he wears
cowhide boots, with his trousers tucked
into them. Evidently some of these good
people are scandalized and think Kipling
should never wear anything else than
patent leather shoes and silk hat. In
order to live up tothe expectations FORM
ed of him, in their Judgment, an author
should always be on dress parade.
One issorry that these good people can
not show off their one live author always
dressed up. At the same time one'ssym-
pathies are wholly with Mr.. Kipling. He
has found out the luxury of old clothes
and proposes to enjoy it in his own way.
How many, many times, of bracing
Sunday morning, the person who is shut
up in shop or Office all week longs to
start out for walk! The groves were
Gods first temples, and he wishes with
all his heart he might go out for once in
his life and freely worship in these king
ly temples. He would like to walk at
least 10 miles. Shall he not gof No; he
cannot go step. The opinions of his
friends and neighbors require that he
shall put on his best clothes because it is
Sunday. Oh, the luxury of long tramp
in old shoes; the pleasure of swinging
ones arms and moving every muscle in
the comfortable, loose, everyday vesture!
But, no; he cannot walk. If he starts
out in this jolly, easy fitting rig, the eyes
of every maid and matron and dressed
up man that meets him are an eloquent
rebuke. The glance implies beyond doubt
that there is something Sabbath breaking
even in old clothes. The wearer Of them
is made to feel at every turn that he is an
outcast and has been stealing or commit
ting murder or something. To wear
new shoes, new clothing and stiff silk
hat on long walk is both to be in pur-
gatory and to ruin ones best clothes.
The poor victim never tries it more than
once. Even in this free country we can
not dress as we please.
