BUSINESS PARALYZED.
Almost All of Chicago's Workingmen
Leave Their Work.
The Refusal Of Pullman Company to Arbitrate
Brings Il About.

CHICAGO, July l0.-Chicago's working
men are on strike, and the citys indus
tries are almost completely paraly zed. 1t
was given out this morning that nothing in
the way of the settlement of the great rail-
road strike could be effected without
waiting for the final report of the COM
mittee which bore the news of the refusal
of the Pullman Company to arbitrate and
the union men began to quit work. Almost
the first reported out were the stage en-
ployes and following these were the carriage
and wagon workers, teamsters, moulders,
machinists. brewers, bakers and iron
workers. During the afternoon other trades
followed.
1t had been agreed that meeting be held
at Uhlich's hall, this afternoon. at 4, for
the purpose of receiving the report of the
committee. 1t was decided to then issue a
call for a general strike, but the action of
the mayor and others in attempting to Sc
cure committee of prominent business
men and citizens to effect some sort of an
agreement whereby the strike in general
might be avoided, delayed the call. Mayor
Hopkins appointed a committee con-
sisting of Judge M. f. Tuley, Willis j..
Abbott, editor-in-chief of the Times, City
Comptroller Ackerman, to select citizens
committee of 25 to call upon the Pullman
Company and urge more amicable policy.
The efforts of the citizens to avert a strike
were 1ruitless.
Chairman Kidd and Secretary McCor-
mick of the joint trades meeting met at 6
with the committee of seven selected to try
to induce the Pullman people to arbitrate
and concluded to issue a call. The call
states that acting upon the unanimous vote
af the joint conference of Sunday night a
general call is made upon all laboring men
in Chicago to unite in sympathetic strike
and quit work at once in uniform move
ment to assist the American Railway Union
by remaining out until the Pullman boycott
and strike is settled.
Before the call was issued, fully 80
unions had given notice that they would
strike. The action of the Knights of Labor
in the Chicago district is said to be unani-
nous. District Master Workman Lindholm
issued this proclamation this evening:
ITO all laborers within the jurisdiction of
District Assembly No. "a: 1t is the duty
of all members of the order in this jurisdic-
ton to carry out the order of the confer
ence and see that the fundamental princi-
pies of this order are upheld and faithfully
carried out. During the crisis it is the
duty of all members Of the order to refrain
from congregating in crowds in the streets
and use every endeavor to maintain peace
and order in the community"

WESTERN LANDS.
The House DeIibsraiing Forfeiture oi Certain
Lands Granted 10 Railroads.

WASHINGTON. July l0.--In the House,
Patterson called up the contested election
case of Tbrasher VS.. Enloe, Eighth Ten
nessee district. The resolutions declared
Enloe entitled to the seat. Patterson
stated that the majority of the committee
was of the opinion that Enloe was elected
by 10 votes, and the minority that he was
elected by 81 votes. The resolutions were
agreed to without division.
The committee on Judiciary reported, by
Powers, the bill to repeal section 40 of the
revised statutes, under the operation of
which the sergeant-st-srms is deducting
from the pay of members per diem for alb
sepces other than those caused by illness"
The House went into committee of the
whole en- the bill to forfeit certain unearned
railroad grants, an amendment to the act of
1890. The bill provides for forfeiture to
the United States of all lands granted rail
roads to aid their construction not COM
pleted within the time specified.
The second section provides that all
tights, privileges and preference given or
secured by the act of 1890 to settlers upon
and purchasers Of lands and forfeited
thereby, are restored upon the same terms
and conditions and same periods of time
specified, computing from date this amend
atory act.

ton and extent of the lands granted TO the
various lines of railways, earned and un-
earned. According to the map. Iowa and
Minnesota is given over wholly to land
grant railroads. McRae presented a table
showing the estimated amount of land for
feited by the passage Of the bill, aggregat-
ing "a 1923 1916 acres.
Lacey offered an amendment to strike
out section 2 ard insert: THE forfeiture
provided in the act shall not impair or in
any manner affect title to any lands here
tofore sold by such railway companies to
bona fide purchasers for value. Lacey op-
posed the bill for the reason that it would
unsettle titles to millions of acres of land.
johnson offered an amendment which was
read for information. providing for the pay
ment Of land grant railroads of deductions
made for transportation of mails and stores.
Gear attacked the accuracy of the map ex-
hibited by McRae.
After further discussion the House ad-
journed without acting on the bill.

FEMALE, WOMAN, LADY.

The Distinction Between Several Words
and How They May BE Used.
An interesting discussion is going on in
the columns of some newspapers over
the use of the words 'lady" and 'swom-
an" There is no real difference as to
the occasions upon which each word ia
to be used. but there is frank aclnowl-
edgment upon the part of some that they
do not use the word woman" where
their good sense tells them that they
should, for fear that it might give Of
Tense to the person to whom it was di-
rected "as not sufficiently polite"
There are certainly no words so abused
as woman" ''lady" and female"
Among certain people the use of the sec
ond Of these terms is like the wearing Of
fine clothes or jewelry. Originally be-
longing to superior class they insist on
appropriating it to themselves as proof
that they are the equals of any other So
cial body. Now, while all that may be
true enough and while class distinctions
have no place in this country this use Of
the word has led to some strange aud
amusing confusions The humorist who
depicted the servant as addressing her
mistress, MAN, the laundry lady is
arwanting to speak to the woman Of the
house, did not have to depend upon his
imagination for his facts.
AS absurd things as that may be heard
in any one of the large dry goods stores
in town any day, and almost any news
paper will yield rich specimen or two.
Bishop Warren, referring to this same
point, says that he glanced at the wall
opposite him at the moment and saw q
diploma from tho g. Female acade-
my" and then turned to bookcase and
read as the title of one of the volumes
there, Female Holiness" In the report
Of southern woman's Christian tenn
perance union convention appears the
fact that Mrs. Blank was chairlady."
Now the proper word in all this is
woman" That is always and ever
right. Than it there is no nobler or
stronger word in the English language
Man" is general word as well as Q
particular one, and as such includes both
sexes, so that the term chairman" sig
mites no subservience of one sex to the
domination of the other. If called upon
to address stranger, woman, then the
proper word is madam" and not "lady,
this way" and "lady, that way" as SO
many ushers appear to think to DO the
only solution to the problem of address.
Female" is never to be used as syno-
nym of woman" 1t is term common
to one-half of the animal creation, and to
apply it to woman as the substantive Of
designation is an insult. Lady" is APP
plicable to every well bred and educated
woman, but 1t is something that is re-
served rather for social usage and has
not the sturdy strength and nobility Of
woman. Boston Journal.
