TWO WORRIED PAINTERS.

They Couldn't Suit Customers Who Didn't
Understand art"
They were both well-known New
York portrait painters, and as they
met each noticed that the other seemed
careworn.
you look weary, joe" observed the
first. whats up, anyhow
Il am just as weary as 1 look re-
turned the other sourly. ''You know
that portrait Pm painting? 1 finished
it the other day, and showed it to the
mans wife. What do you think she
said when she saw it?
Give it up" returned his friend.
''You know it's a three-quarter
picture, and the first thing that struck
her when she saw it was that there
was only one ear of her husband show
ing. She complained about it. She
said her husband had two ears, and
she thought that she ought to see the
other. argued with her for half an
hour, trying to explain the laws of per-
spective, but it was all fruit1ess. She
wouldn't or she couldn't understand.
She liked the likeness well enough,
but she insisted upon having the two
ears
''Wen, what did you 90 about it?''
asked his friend.
What did do?" repeated the other
solemnly. why, saved my bacon; I
erased my name from the picture and
painted the second ear on the profile
of the cheek. She was satisfied and /
was paid. But it wasn't art
The other painter laughed.
I'm having a little experience of my
own" he said, that's about driving
me insane. I've just finished the por-
trait of a well-known young lady.
Her friends are coming up to the studio
every day to inspect it. Her mother
thought that 1 had painted her face
too yellow, and SO L made it lighter.
Then her grandmother came, and
thought the drapery too low. So ]
raised it. Then her aunt came and
criticized the hair as being too brown.
1 had just lightened it.when her cousin
dropped in and insisted that it was
two shades darker. Then as to the
eyes. According to the different
opinions of her relatives and friends
their color must be as yariabl as that
of the chameleon. 1 have repaintec

times I'll have to do SO I don't know

TIA Boycott Against Pullman Cars Blocks
a Number of Railroads.

a Number of Railroads.
CHICAGO, June 2S.-The employees of
the Chicago Great Western railway
went out last night, making total of
eleven Chicago roads now tied up or
crippled by the American Railway
union boycott of Pullman cars. The
roads SO far affected by the strike at
this point are the Illinois Central,
Santa Fe, Chicago Great Western, Chi
cago 81 Northern Pacific, West Indiana,
Wisconsin Central, Chicago 81 Eastern
Illinois, Wabash, Grand Trunk, Monon
and the Baltimore & Ohio
An attempt was made last evening to
send out~the st. Paul train on the Chi
cago Great Western with a Pullman
sleeper attached. The train started
out, but when it was found the sleeper
had been coupled on, a trainman pulled
the bell rope, and as the engineer re-
versed the engine two men rushed to
the coupling and in few minutes the
train pulled out, leaving the Pullman
in the depot.
The three signal men who control
the switches at the Western Indiana
tracks at Archer avenue, joined the
strikers at $50 last night, blocking
the system. Under heavy police
guard a new signal man was placed in
the tower and the blockade was raised,
the crowd making no demonstrations.
At 9:3O o'clock the San Francisco
limited, over the Santa Fee, with four
Pullman cars, passed the crossing in
safety, the, crowd making no demon
stration. The seventy-five signal men
and fifteen switchmen employed in
the Western Indiana yards are all on a
strike.

BOYCOTTING PULLMAN.
The Great Railroad Tie-Up Ex-
tending In the Country.
Al Trains Abandoned That Handle Pullman
Cars-A Very Serious State of Affairs
"A Disguised Travelling
Public.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 29.-The
strike of the members of the American
Railway union, growing out of the
troubles at Pullman and the hauling OF
the cars of the Pullman Co., was put in
organized shape last night at the meet
ing held in Argentine, and every mem
Der IL that city and on the Santa Fe
road was ordered out last night at
saidnight to remain until all troubles
are settled.

point and will not be able to move a
train in any direction. There are over
1000 men employed on the Santa Fe at
this point.
THE SITUATION AT OMAHA.
OMAHA, Neb. June z9.-The Pullman
boycott trouble is growing more seri-
Gus here, and, though trains were made
up with Pullmans attached, it was
with the assurance that they would be
detached elsewhere out west and never
return till after the strike.
The circular issued by Grand Master
Sovereign, of the Knights of Labor,
puts a more complex phase on. the sit
uation here. Members of the A. r. u.
hereabouts have been greatly strength
ened in their boycott by reason of the
pronounced stand taken by the Knights
OF Labor, who are unusually strong in
Omaha.

been interfered with here and all left
on time last night. John Lally, boss

up trains with Pullman cars and was
discharged. Sixty of the switchmen
employed by the Missouri Pacific inn
Inediately walked out and demanded
Lally's restoration and that they be
not required to handle Pullman cars.
A meeting is now in session to decide
whether the other trainmen shall
strike.
AT LOS ANGELES.
Los ANGELES, Cal, June 29.-The
railroad tie-up is complete. Both the
Southern Pacific and Santa Fe yards
are damned full of abandoned trains
In the Santa Fe yards the men refuse
even to switch the incoming trains Oh

A General Overhauling of the Books Of MI.
Hayes Ordered
PHILADELPHIA, June. 3O.-The bitter
ness that has pervaded the ranks of
the Knights of Labor ever since the
meeting of the general assembly in
this city in November, found expression
at meeting held in this city, where
steps were taken looking toward a
thorough overhauling by the courts of
General Secretary-Treasurer John w.
Hayes. The meeting adopted an ap-
peal to the order, setting forth the
reasons which have impelled the sign
ers to the course they have taken.
The appeal concluded with a request
for cooperation by members. One of
the national assemblies in this state
has promised $3.50 toward the prosecu-
ton of the legal investigation if other
assemblies will supply as much more as
may be needed. The meeting adopted
resolutions condemning the suspension
of Messrs- Powderly, Quinn and Wright
as fragrant outrage and brutal
manifestation of enmity.''
