A REDUCTION.

Some of the B. Il q. Men at Benwood
junction offered Cut.
The employees of the B. IL 0. at the
Junction have been NOTED of reduc-
ton of from twenty-five to thirty cents
a day each, to take effect the first day
Of next month. The reduced force in
cludes the car inspectors, the engine
hustlers and other like positions. The
men regard the cut as unjust and there
is some talk of their striking. That
course would complicate matters gener-
ally on the b. & o. About twenty-five
men are directly effected by the cut.

advantage on lhe stage OF the Opera
House He seemed 10 move the audi
ence at will, and his ability was gener-

One thing must be remembe
and that is that the Mckinley bill is
dead never to rise again. Call the
bill that has taken its place what
you will. it has slain the monster of
corruption and oppression that was
saddled on the necks Of the Ameri-
can public by monopolistic greed
through the agency of the present
governor Of Ohio. That of itself is
enough to make the nation rejoice.
The blow aimed in the autumn OF
1892 has fallen Mt last, and il
through circumstances beyond the
control OF honest men its force has
been so weakened rs to save the
principle Of protection from annihii-
alton there was enough vigor in the
arm that struck to demolish the
chief product and expression Of the
odious system.

Congress met in extra session on
Aug. Z. 1898. The Sherman silver
purchasing act was the cause of the
extra session. The fight was very
bitter in both houses, and after n
struggle which will live rs one of the
most momentous in the history Of
American legislation, common sense
won and the law was repealed. That
struggle lasted three months. and
during that time the house. ways and
means committee had been ut work
on n tariff reform bill. The extra
session finally adjourned with the
tariff bill in an inchoate state. nor
was il completed when the regular
session convened In December. Coal
and iron ore were placed on the free

How Ii Is Done.

"You describe the trick very WELL" said Pro-
lessor Kellar, smiling blandly. And now Tor
the explanation. In The first place, the lemon
is a prepared one. The pulp has been removed
and handk erchief inserted, and the plug re-
placed ana fastened by wire. The materiallza-
lion of the lemon is simply done by palming.
Then you will remember that l take the prof
fered handkerchief from the lady In the audi
ence and turning toward the stage toss the
lemon to my assistant. This turn gives me
time to tuck the handkerchief under my waist
band and take out the little bundle of pieces.
These | give TO a gentleman. Then l turn
toward the stage again, and during this turn
take the long strip of cotton from my waist
band The gentleman discovers the pieces
10 his hand, and while l am showing him
how to restore the handkerchief l sub
stltute the long strip for the pieces. These
tuck under my waistband. When the strip Is
discovered load 1t into my pistol aud fire 1t at
the lemon. OF course, when / cut the IL mon
open the handkerchief which | find Is only
substitute. The original, you remember, is still
safe under my wastband Then comes the
question of the handkerchief smelling of lemon
ana the use of the eau de cologne. Now comes
my assistants turn, aud he burns the handker-
chief. Then step out and get the sheet OF
paper. In point of fact 1t is double, and three
of the sides are pasted together, forming a sort
of bag l take the handkerchief from my waist
band, fold 1t up as fiat and small as possible
and drop II In this bag. Then wrap the burnt
handkerchief in the paper aud step down TO the
audience with it. or course, it's an easy matter
10 open the bundle so that only the inside OF
the bag Is exposed. and the original han6ker-
chief Is restored 10 its oWner.-Samuel JaroS In
Homo and Country.
