ton Of feats Of legcrlemain.", said George
Harding to a Gl1be-Democrat reporter,
but fye years ago / witnessed an exhi-
bitlon in Hlndoostan Tor the solution Of
which 1 could form no theory. There
were four Of us in the party and We
were seated In front OF our tent when
n native juggler came along with small
basket on his arm. In this basket was
a piece Of carpet or rug and stick
Calling upon him FOR an exhibition or
his skill he laid the carpet or rug on tho
ground. waved the stick over Il and the
centre began to rise. Withdrawing II,
boy, apparently ten or twelve years or
age appeared. Placing the stick In the
ground the jugglcr ordered the boy TO
climb Il, when suddenly the stick grew
to about :he height and size Of tela-
graph pole. The boy climbed - the top.
and at a word Of command started u
descend, when the jufgler drew sword
and cut the youth in two In several
places Then. taking down the pole. he
put the pieces OF the boy into the basket,
then the rug, then the e-ick, and, after
taking his fees. depart,-. The feat was
witnessed alike by each of us, and there
seemed 10 be- no possibility OF deception.
and 1t haunted me. Suddenly It occurred
20 me t. photograph the various phases
OF the trick and take the pictures home
with me when | went in order 10 show

teur Photographic apparatus I'm our out
tit. and l called L. him 20 return and
repeat the trick. lie did so, and to the
vision It was performed exactly The same
way at every stage. l took an instan-
taneous view, and felt that II we were
deceived the pictures would at least
serve TO expose the manner OF performing
the remarkable feat. When he was gone
and the pictures were developed, It was
found that each one represented die
Hindoo. a basket. n piece OF carpet. and
a stick. The only difference between
them was IN the position OF the Hndoo
himself. that being changed in every in

JENKINS REVERSED.
Justice Harlan Renders a Decis-
ion on His Strike Order.
He Handles the Judge in a
Severe Manner.
A RIGHT TO STRIKE.
Justice Harlan Says the Men
Had a Right to Quit.
Made No Difference if it Did
Create Discomfort

There Must be No Conspiracy to
Damage However

CHICAGO, Oct. LIN the United States
court Of appeals today Judge Harlan, of
the United States supreme court, regard
ing the opinion the famous strike in
junction of Judge Jenkins was rather
severely handled. Justice Harlan held
that body of men had right to quit
irrespective of the discomfort which
might result They had. however, no
right to conspire to do damage, or TO en-
barass. He did not agree with jenkins
famous definition of a strike that it was
unnecessarily illegal"
Judge Harlan held that there was such
a thing as a legal strike. Judge Jenk-
ms Injunction was modified.
The opinion was rendered by Justice
Harlan of the United States supreme
court, and Judges Woods and Bum. The
bench was occupied today by Justice
Harlan and Judges Woods. Bum, Jen-
kins and Grosscup. Judge Jenkins ap-
peared undisturbed by the decision.
The decision in part reversed the IA
nous anri-strike order of Judge Jenkins
and in part sustains it. That part of the
jenkins injunction which restrained the
employees of the road from striking or in
the language of the injunction, f.from so
quitting the service of the said re-
ceiver with. or without notice, as to
cripple the property, or prevent or
hinder the operation of the road" the
court Of appeals declares was violation
of the rights of the employees, who could
not legally be restrained from leaving
the employ of the receivers and the com
pany when they saw fit to do SO, whether
they quit in body or individually.
That part of the INDUCTION which re-
strains the employees from entering into
a combination or conspiracy to quit with
intention of crippling the property and
preventing the operation of the road is
sustained
On the whole the decision, which was
read by Justice Harlan, who presided
over the court. is a clear recognition Of
the right of the employees to strike.

The first thing Mr. Swinton said to the
