sands are in immediate want. On an
average, these men earn 81 per day
which makes an aggregate Of $150,000
per day in round numbers Of this
item alone. They have been out at
least ten days, making this item to
date S1,5O0.0OO
1t is also estimated. for nothing
more than an estimate can be rem.
dered. that the loss per day of the
railroads centering here ia S25O0OO
This includes loss Of revenue and the
cost of the maintenance of forces for
protecting property. The aggregate
therefore Is S2.5OO.OOO.
Fires have been feature of the
strike for the past three days. mobs
having devoted themselves almost ex-
clusively to incendarism at night
thousands of freight cars switch
houses. etc. have been burned. and
the loss up to tonight cannot fall much
under S2,2O0,OO0. In addition to the
damage by fire. the various com

aiding of engines and wrecking of
passenger cars. The loss in this con-
nection is estimated by railroad men
at $4,000.
The number of men thrown out of
work in Chicago by the boycott, men
who have had nothing whatever 10 do
with the boycott and care nothing
about it, is estimated at $4,000. On
an average these men get 81 per day,
as many are skilled mechanics. Some
were called out early in the strike,
others not until very recently, but
the average will make week out of
work. These men made 100000 per
day, and for seven days the aggre-

Bach, Mozart and DvOrak
at the "Pop."
Choral Music, Classic and Popular.
Dvorak, the Americanized Conn
poser, Much Admired.

A large and select audience gathered In
Golden Gate Hall yesterday afternoon
attracted by the thirty-ffth Carr-Beel con-
cert of the fifth season. Considerable en-
thusiasm was aroused by the artistic exc
cution of the programme.
The opening selection was quintet for
strings in 6 by Mozart. and was rendered
by Messrs. Beel, Wismer. Jaulus, Heinsen
and Heine. The first movement. an ale
gro, was played with considerable ANNA
ton and marked precision. The rich col
oring given to the sweet melody of the
composition added much to lis brilliancy.
The menuetto movement which folio wed
gave additional opportunity for shading
which was taken advantage of IL mas.
terly manner. The adagio anu final ALE
gro movements were equally well rendered
and received warm encures.
Andrew B0gart sang a charming ballad,
my Dream" by Tosti. He possesses a
ing quality, and bis execution is easy and
graceful. He is still young in years. and
doubtless will continue to build upon the
good foundation already laid. For an en-
core to my Dream" he sang Handlers
"Where'er You Walk" 1t might be fair
to MIR. Bogart to remark that his songs
| would have been heard to better advan-
tage il his accompanist had played with
more delicacy. AS it was be manifested a
tendency to drown the singer by loud and
unfinished hammering upon the theme.
Mr.. Bogart also rendered Thomas
winds in the Trees" in sympathetic
manner and invoked much applause.
Bach's "Chsconne" was rendered by
Sigmund Beel, the violinist. in his usual
artistic style. The theme of the compost
ton is not one that would appeal to a
popular audience, particularly on first
hearing, but with lovers of the classic in
general. and of the great John Sebas tan
Bach in particular, it is always a standard
favorite. Mr.. Beel received great ap-
come"
Anton Dvorak's "Terzetto," for two
violins and viola, which was performed by
Messrs. Beel. Wismer and Jaulus in a
finished style, proved to be a most inter
esting composition, and the shading was
delightful. particularly in the closing "al

The central building is four stories high
and has an enormous door reaching
through two of them. A few Of the floor
timbers remain hanging from the crum-
bling walls, but the floor disappeared
years ago.
The towers are about twenty-five feet
square at the base, and at one time had
some sort Of stairway to the top. as is
evident from the timbers still hanging 10
the wall. Now they look more like huge
cbimneys.
The material used in construction is ex-
actly the same as in the Casa Grande,

white bricks. They are laid in layers so

The ruins of Casa Grande, near Flor
epce, AriZ, have for many years been an
object of constantly increasing interest to
psychologists and students of the early
tribes Of the American continent. Con-
gress has spent thousands of dollars TO
protect them from the elements although
the ruins consist only of four crumbling
walls. Blu: they have been conceded to
be the walls of he oldest building on the
American continent. Now, however. there
is another claimant for that honor, and
whether the question Of age will ever be
settled or not there is no doubt but that
the new ruins are most interesting and
worthy Of preservation.
Few civilized men have ever seen the
ruins, which are located in a canyon in
the widest and most inaccessible part of

Mexican line. In fact part of the noun
