FOUR HUNDRED MEN ORDERED TO S7RIhE

NEARLY ALL OF THEM OBEY. THOUGH THEY
NEED wORK-A QUARREL BETWEEN UNIONS.
Four hundred men, who had been at work on the
large new buildings of the Postal Telegraph ana
Home Life Insurance companies, broadway. De-
tween Warren and Murray SITS. were unexpectedly
ordered out on strike yesterday by walking dele
gates representing eighteen trades unions The men
promptly obeyed the orders although many of them
had been unemployed for long time and were IN
needy circumstances. The delegates of Enterprise
Steamfitters' Association the Elevator Construct
ors' Union and the Brotherhood Of Carpenters and
Joners refused TO order strike ana the members
of those organizations continued at work.
The strike is the outcome OF quarrel between
the steamitters OF the Enterprise Association and
the helpers of the Progress Helpers Association
over a proposition to amalgamate the two assocla-
tons The seamftters were unwilling to allow the
helpers vote in the proposed amalgamated assoc
ciation and the helpers refused to amalganate UNI
less they allowed to vote. President . Brien
and Secretary Bausch. of the Building Trades, is
sued a long manifesto yesterday. reviewing the
cause OF the strike. expressing sympathy with Pro-
gress Association and assuring 1t of full support.
If the of the three organizations who did not
strike resume work tomorrow morning their ORGAN
izations Will probably be suspended by the Building
Trades Board.

Wright said to Professor Bemis that
he had been called to give his views as
to the settlement of labor troubles by
arbitration. Replying Professor
Bemis said that in considering the
question it was necessary 20 divide in
dustries into private and quasi-public
enterprises. Compulsory arbitration
was not so applicable to the case of
disputes between the employers and
employees in private enterprises. The
Massachusetts law creating board of
Cancellation had accomplished many
good results In the Massachuset it's
posed of three men engaged at good
salaries and appointed by the COVER
nor One of these was from the ranks
of organized labor, one an employer
and the third chosen by these two or
selected by the governor in case the
two fail TO agree. The first duty of
tn is board was to bring the parties to
the dispute together, If possible. This
had been successful in very many
cases.
Regarding railroads the conditions
change, Prof. Bemis said. Railroads
are quasi-public institutions The
people demand that railroads be op.
perated continuously. Only some
900, coo persons are interested as en-
ployes in railways, while some 70 600. :
600 are interested in their operation.
The great third party, the public, had
deep interest here and had right
to hearing To settle railroad trou-
bles some thing must devised to take
the place OF the strike, which
has failed to mend matters There
was no doubt. Prof Bemis said. that
the experiment OF state ownership OF
railroads would be made in the near
future; but something must be done
or immediate relief For this pur-
pose Prof Bemis would advise the
establishment of state and federal
courts with the especial function

Cholera Scare In Indiana.

INDIANAroLIs, Ind, Aug. is-The
state health board yesterday received
news Of cholera scare in Dearborn
county. The little daughter Of Peter
Mann of Weisberg was taken sudden
ly ill with symptoms of cholera and
died soon after. Another child. aged
IL. was taken Ill Aug II and died the
next day. The attending physician,
who reported the case to the health
board, visited TIE family and found
the mother also i'll. The deaths have
caused much alarm in the county, but
Secretary Metcalf of the health board
is not inclined to give credence to the
cholera theory.

China Is a.oo7, 900 Years Old.

Chinese history goes into the re-
mcso annals OF the race to an ex-
tent wholly unknown to others than
oriental writer's. One OF their lead
Ing historians begins his narrative by
telling of a time when the nucleus OF
the present great Acknowledged race
were wanderers in the great forests
OF Shan-se without houses, clothing
or fire; time when they subsisted
upon roots, insects and small ami
mails and fish. There was an ancient
belief among the mandarins and
other wise men that a period Of
1867, 600 years elapsed between the
date when heaven and earth united
to produce the first Chinaman and
the time OF Confucius.

vending their way TO church.
For weeks a big revival" had been
in progress at Wilson's stand, and this
bright Sunday morning was to witness
the browning act.
Brother Pettybone Peters, in all his
dusky dignity, would bury thirty con-
verts beneath the baptismal wave of
neighboring dam.
oh, for the happy contentment of
the negro.
With his coarse, everyday garments
he lays aside every perplexing care
and dons with his gaudy Sunday at
tire mind at ease with all the world.
No fears of a threatened drought; no
reflections of grassy cotton disturb
the serenity of his soul during the
sermon. No guilty pangs of con-
science about the chicken which dis
appeared from "Mars johns hen
house Friday night and attended
preaching in lunch basket the next
day.
Aunt Dinah Brown was a shining
light at Wilson's stand. No one could
sing louder, shout longer, or groan
more intensely. Her voice excited
the admiration OF the brethren and
the envy of the sisters.
Now it happened on this occasion
that Aunt Dinah was sick and could
not attend the meeting. If there was
one thing, however upon which she
prided herself more than upon her
own faithful attendance at church, it
YVES the strict way in which she was
training up her only son, Sambo.
Deep down in her heart she secretly
hoped that Sambo would some day
succeed Brother Peters at Wilson's.
With natural pride she sat on the
doorstep and watched her young
hopeful start to church.
1t must be admitted with deep
humilation) that Sambo, in spite of
his religious training and godly eX-
ample, in the form of Aunt Dinah,
was brimful of original sin, and no
soccer was he out of sight than he
left the road and started on run
across the cotton field toward Rock
creek. Here he was joined by another
boy. and together they trudged along
the banks of the stream.
where's de bait, Dick?" asked
Sambo.
"Dey's in my britches pocket" was
the reply.
Dick cut two long canes, fastened
lines and hooks on them, and handed
one to the delighted Sambo.
Now, look here, Sambo you'se got
on yo' Sunday clothes; what yer
gwinter tell yer nanny case yer gifts
EN- dirty?" asked Dick.
Il gwine tell her Sister Whey WIS

faints dead away in de pool, en- l
jumped in fur to fotch her out, an

In the pleasure OF catching an occa-
sional minnow, Aunt Dinah's preaching
and Sunday clothes were alike for
gotten.
The day was warm and the water
invitingly cool. For some reason the
fish did not seem inclined to bite. and
Dick grew tired lounging on fallen
tree watching his cork remain mo-
tioniess on the surface of the water.

and politician, whose name for good
reasons, is not to be disclosed. This
man was prominent for some time by
reason of the success with which he
dictated appointments in his vicin.

disappeared as a political factor. One
day, a short time ago. he met an old
friend Of the Presbyterian faith on
the street.

fare?:" said the good man.
II I'M crushed by my reverses,'

Etiquette OF the Hand.

A lady never extends her hand to
a man whose acquaintance she is
making. She may or may not shake
hands with o lady who is introduced,
but she must not give her hand to a
strange man. A cultivated woman
will not shake hands with any man,
no matter how long acquainted with
him, unless she respects ard admires
him. A gentleman never extends
his hand to a lady first. To do so
would be presumEtuous, and subject
him to a snubbing. A man shows
his breeding the way he eats his din
ner; a woman shows her breeding
the way she receives people.
