Narv's in paving off the indebtedness

peared to think IL would have good
effect. On the night after the strike
three of the new houses built bg the
company were burned. The striking
workmen were charged with the ia
cendiarism, but denied it. The next
dav there were three or four thousand
men out of work in the town and
very angry feeling.
Director Matlock injudiciously ex-
pressed an opinion about the origin of
the fire which made the better class OF
striking workmen indignant, and theT
sent n delegation to the Office Of the
works to get statement from him di-
rectly, and they encountered at the
door of the Office six men, armed with
clubs and pistols, who ordered them
away. An alteration ensued. Two
of the delegation were knocked down
and one had his skull fractured. The
remainder of the men went back for
reinforcements and in an hour there
was mob Of FIVE hundred men before
the office. They demanded that the
perpetrators of the outrage should be
handed over or they would enter the
building by force and take them. Mat
lock refused to give them up. The
mob then broke into the Office. seized
the men and took them into the sire t,
where they were beaten to death. The

ried Hendricks up at precisely nine
twenty-eight the next morning. He
had five men with him and they all
got undisturbed into the signal room.
He secured the floor and then waited
at the little western window a mo-
ment until the half hour had expired.
There was evidently some kind of sig
nal made from the wood, for he said:
'All right. You are to wait here and
guard the entrance until you hear

with latch key carefully and stepped

him.
Calicot and Mrs. Hendricks were in

EARLY MARRIAGES.
Reason why such Are TO he Regretted
Here aud Ia Europe

Here and IA Europe
Though in this country early mar
riaeeS are less frequent than in Europe,
because here the occupations of wom-
en- are 50 numerous that nearly
every young woman can maintain
herself respectfully by earning her
own living. while in Europe the
same class find natrimony almost
the only avenue through which
they can escape from dependent po-
sition at home, says the Boston Her
aid 1t is none the less important to
know that the marriages contracted
before the parties have reached 20 are
to be regretted. The reasons are that
the offspring of women who are mar
ried before IS inherit the imperfect
physical development of their mothers
and do not reach mature life with
strong constitutions. The healthiest
offspring are born ~ mothers between
90 and so. who are united to husbands
between 80 and 10, and it has been
found in Europe, where early marriages
are very common, that the deaths
of children from weak constitutions
are twice as large among the children

age as they were among the children
of mothers who were over 80. The
difference between America and Eu-
rope in this matter of early marriages
Is chiefly due to the way in which our
girls are able to reach out to self-sup-
port after they have attained o mar
riageable age.
DIR. Cyrus Edison, in the North Amer
lean, gives important statistics to show
that, although in this country the evil
of early marriages Is not SO great as it
might be, the number of brides under
30 who were married in New York city
In 1891 was 2,S39; In 1892 II was $3.50.
The number of grooms under 90 years
of age in New York city for that year
was 145. BY far the greater number OF
brides are reported to have been IS or
90 when they were married, which Is n
healthy showing for an American city,
and New York is probably q fair
evidence for the age of brides in other
large towns and cities. In Hungary
the girls become women at the age of
IS, and in that country is per cent of
the marriages shows the brides to be
under 20 years of age, and in England
II per cent. are under that age. In
America girls are practically free to
marry when they please and the m
stinct of self-preservation has guarded

DO AS THEIR FATHERS DID.
Philadelphia People and Their Curious
Notions of Social Eligibility

Philadelphia People and Their Curious
Notions of Social Eligibility
Philadelphians well deserve their
reputation for slowness. Progression
Is an unknown word in the Quaker
city. The fashionable people scorn
any innovations. as they desire to con-
tinue to do as their fathers did. When
you look upon the number of slow and
uncertain horse-car lines and the ag-
gravating speed of their cable cars,
says writer in the Pittsburgh Dis
patch, You can well judge the tempera-
ment of people who will stand 10y
and suffer such things. Philadelphians
are perhaps the most peculiar, clan
nish, Interchangeable people that exist
in any city of the country. They pos
sess certain traits of character and
ideas regarding sociology, which will
probably be found still thriving and
strong by anyone going to Philadel-
phia a hundred wears hence. The ef-
feet of the absurd idea that the eligi-
bility to soar in the mystic circles of
fashionable Quakerdom Is to be de-
termined by the answer to the ques-
tion whether he resides uptown or
downtown can never be appreciated
by one who Is not n Philadelphia, or,
Mt least, well acquainted with that
city's social peculiarities. 1t causes
people to pay twice as much rental in
the downtown residence district for
houses not half as good rs could be
gotten uptown, not to say anything OF
the questionable pleasure of living
among saloons, groceries and shops OF
all kinds Instead OF dying out, as
one would expect 1t to do in this en-
lightcned age, this feeling regarding
the difference ones place of residence
makes upon his social standing is posi-
lively becoming more bitter. This is
one of the peculiarities that Philadel-
phia will retain as long as 1t exists.
Amy attempts that have been made to
obliterate the dividing line have only
ended in dismal failure, leaving the
situation much worse than before. II
seems that common sense was not dis
pensed with very free hand in Phila.
delphia, at 10 ast on this one point.

through the ring. Drawing the rope
up tight will close the animals mouth
tightly and prevent believing Pull
the head down tight against the
manger and tie the rope in one of the
rings at the lower corner of the chute
shown in the illustration. As the rope
is tied in the cut the animals head is
pulled to one side thus giving the OPP
orator the best chance at the right
horn. When that horn has been re-
moved, tie the rope in the other ring
thus pulling the head to that side and
giving free access to the left horn.

shape of the halter when the rope has
been passed through the ring correctly.

The Computation of MILK.

Numerous experiments about milk
have hitherto resulted In failure. and
we are as ignorant as ever OF Its chem
ical composition and its physical con-
stitution. When we do learn the exact
truth concerning them. we shall be In
a better position than we are now TO
undertake the management OF milk
itself, the making of butter, and, in
particular. the manufacture OF cheese.
In connection with the latter especial
ly there is too much charlatanism. Our
future practice will be very largely con-
trollcd by the correct answer which,
no doubt. will eventually be given TO
the apparently simple question: What
IN milk? The greatest error we can COM
init at present, perhaps, Is TO think
that we know all about IT,

One of the most curious of current
beliefs is that of hypocrisy lurking in
pleasant manners and sincerity in those
that are rough or stern. 1t seems a
relic of our Puritan forefathers, but it
certainly is out of place today. One is
foolish, or very innocent, to give heed
to more than the letter of society cour-
tesies. But, Oh the other hand, the
wish to please is a good sign in itself,
and the Willingness to hurt, by word
as we'll as by deed, is bad sign in it
self. Selfishness is, far more than ny
pocrisy even, a usual failing. And
there is small hope for the habitually
self absorbed rough speaker. while there
is always Il chance that the soft manner
may sink into the heart. To those who
tell us that soft words butter no pars-
nips, we may retort, oil Is also better
for wig than vinegar. If proverbs
mean anything, it is because there is
ono for every side of n question. -Ex-

CROPPED along for strap, which his
companion finally placed i'll his hand
AS the former seemed quito uncertain
of his footing and was being partially
supported by the latter, people stared
at him rather hard under the impression
that he was Intoxicated He was not
only we'll dressed, but wore Il handsome
ring, heavy gold watch chain and other

siderably as he swayed from the strap,
and pretty soon it became evident to
those in the vicinity that instead of be-
ing intoxicated the man was blind. a
young lady made the discovery and inn
mediately arose and motioned the blind
mans companion to take her seat
When this had been communicated to
the blind man, the latter turned in the
direction of tho lady and raised his
hat respectfully, but declined the prof
fered courtesy. His companion whis-
pered something III his ears-most like
~ that the lady was both young and
handsome-for tho afflicted man began
pluming himself and finally turned by
changing hands Oh the strap so that the
young lady might get moro definite
view of Il rather fine face. He straight
ened up his rings, settled his collar, felt
to ascertain whether his coat was but
toned and pulled down his cuffs-iust
as Il vain man usually does when he
wants to make Il good appearance.
