strike of Cloak Makers.

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 6-Four hundred
cloak makers employed by Strawbridge &
Clothier went on strike this morning
rather than submit to reduction of wages.
The employees have been receiving 70 cents
and 81 per garment, but were notified by
the manager OF the department yesterday
that hereafter they would receive but so
and 40 cents. A committee was appointed
by the workmen to meet the firm and en-
deavor TO arrange a settlement of the wage
trouble but We're unsuccessful. The en-
ployes say they Will remain out until the
old scale of wages is restored
Manager Gillespie says that, owing to the
tremendous rush caused by the garment
makers strike in New York, the firm had
increased the. wages of their warkmen TO
$l.50 per garment. Business having fallen
of considerably, the firm returned to the
old scale. The workmen refused to accept
the cut and struck

NEW YORK Dec. 6.-Judge Patterson.
in the Supreme Court this morning. re-
fused the application of the Lightbourne
committee for leave to investigate the
affairs of the controllers Office. The main
grounds for the refusal are that the COM
mittee's knowledge is based entirely on
information and belief, and that 1t was
against the code. The application was
based upon reported fraudulent issue OF
city bonds which were alleged to aggre-
gate as much as 500, ,000, 600.

his examination, Mr.. Con- asked for an ad-
tournment until next Tuesday to prepare
for his next witness.
It was stated In the Court of General
Sessions late this afternoon that the grand
jury had indicted Police Commissioners
John Sheehan for contempt of court in fail
ing to obey a summons to produce his pri-
vate books before the Lexow investigating
committee. 1t was also stated that Judge
Martin, sitting in Part /, Of the court, had
issued a bench warrant and that IL had
been sent TO police headquarters for serv-
ice. No one could be found In the district
attorneys Office that would either confirm
or deny the rumor.

NO MORE CONVENTIONS.
Initiative and Referendum Plan May
Re AdOpted by Decorators.

CLEVELAND, o., Dec. 6.-At to-day's
session of the Brotherhood of Painters and
Decorators of America it was voted to ap-
prove the abolition of conventions and to
adopt the initiative and referendum plan.
The action of the convention does not set
tie the question, however. it will have
to be taken up and acted upon by local
lodges throughout the United States and
Canada. 1t is expected that the doing away
with conventions will obviate much Of the
dissatisfaction growing out Of the proceed
ings of such bodies, as for instance, the
last convention held at Buffalo The local
lodges are given nine months in which TO
send to the general secretary their decision
on the question. The convention then con-
tinued the further consideration of amend
ments to the constitution and bylaws.
Forty-one separate and distinct amend
ments were offered and nineteen of them
acted on.

The Fox Was SurDrised.

The Rev, j. Murray, in his work on the
creation, relates that on one occasion an
acquaintance Of his was out shooting wild
ducks. On reaching n bend of the stream
he saw six wild geese out of range. He
crouched down in the hope that they
would presently come nearer. While thus
concealed he observed a fox stealing down
to the bank, on reaching which he re-
manned motionless with his eye fixed on
the geese.
At length he retired, but presently reap
peared, carrying in his mouth a very large
bundle Of moss. He entered the water
silently, sank himself and then, keeping
the moss above the water, himself con-
cealed, he floated among the geese. Sud-
denly one of them was drawn under the
water, and the fox soon appeared on the
bank with the goose on his back.
Close to the waters edge he found a hole,
caused by the %uprooting Of a tree. This
hole he cleared out and enlarged, placed
the goose ut the bottom OF it and covered
his prize with leaves and dry litter, of
which there was abundance close at hand.
The fox then took his departure, and the
interested watcher went to the hole and
removed the goose, taking care to restore
things to their former appearance.
Then he resolved to observe what fol-
lowed. In about half an hour the fox re-
turned in company with another. They
went straight to the place where the goose
had been buried and removed the earth.
No goose there. They stood looking at
each other for some time, and then sudden
ly the second fox attacked the other most
%furiously, as if enraged by having a trick
played upon him.-Boston Courier.

Generosity Among Street Arabs.

l was a witness on Park row Of a pleas.
ant act by a street arab.
Three ragged newsboys were trying to
sell the earlier editions of the afternoon
papers. A man, carrying II large bunch Of
fine looking bananas on his shoulder, passed
close by. The motion of his body loosened
one of the biggest and ripest, and it fell ia
the sidewalk. The man kept on, not motto.
ing or caring for the loss.
The banana lay on the pavement for
about half Il minute unseen. Then the
largest of the three ragged urchins spied it,
and, with a cry Of delight, he ran over and
picked it up.
1t was natural to suppose that he would
proceed to eat it all himself, but instead OF
so doing he called his companions to his
side and exhibited his find. They eyed it
greedily.
Without any request, however, from
them for a share in the coveted fruit, the
finder divided the banana into three parts
and gave his fellow newsboys each a part.
The smallest piece he reserved for himself.
1t was only a small thing in itself, yet it
showed, l thought, that there was some
thing noble hidden under the ragged gar
ments of that little urchin.-New York
Herald,
