another Packing House strike.

At South Omaha Monday morning
the coopers at Swifts packing house
went on a strike. They numbered
twenty-six men, twenty-four of whom
were union, and two non-union, the
latter having been put to work during
the late strike at that place. After it
had been decided to strike if necessary
a committee of three waited on Super
intendent Foster and asked that the
''scabs'' be Immediately discharged.
1t was claimed that the men in ques-
ton were not alone non-union men,
but that they were incompetent to fill
the positions and consequently were
keeping good men out of employment
Mr.. Foster refused to discharge them
and the coopers quietly drew their
time and left

Craay on the subject of Dress.

A paper published in London gives
a strange account of the duchess of
Somerset, whose personal property it
says was sold at auction a few days
ago. 1t seems the poor lady had a
mania for clothes. She had at the
time of her death not only 1000 pairs
of gloves, but 600 pairs of silk stock
ings, 500 lace handkerchiefs, and all
sorts of dresses, many of them of the
fashion of forty years ago. She had
been confined to her own house for
nearly thirty years, yet she regularly
ordered her elegant court dresses
with each change of season, precisely
as she would have done had she been
in society, as she used to be. More
over, she used often to dress herself
in her elegant finery and parade up
and down her room as though she
were at reception.
