Dealing With Strike in China.

SHANGHAI, June 6.-Thousands of
artisans, who were repairing the inn
perial buildings in Pckin, struck for
higher wages last week. The Emper-
or issued an edict commanding the
soldiers and police to arrest every one
asserting the right of the 1aborers to
retard the work. The order was exc
cuted, and the turbulent strikers will
be arraigned for treason. The most
active leaders will be strangled, and
their most jealous followers will be
banished to the fever and mosquito
regions for three years. The strike
has collapsed.

UNIVERSITY COMMENCEMENT.
Hon. Hoke Smith Delivers the Address
Degrees Conferred.

CHAPEL HILL, June THE ninety
ninth commencement exercises Of the
University of North Carolina were
held yesterday. Secretary Of the In
terror Hoke Smith was the principal
guest and the orator of the day. He
was given an ovatien when he arose to
address the throng of $500 people that
packed the hall TO its utmost capacity.
HeNopencd his speech with refer
ence to the years of his childhood
spent at Chapel Hill, while his father
was a member of the faculty. He
then stated that he Came with no
speech of prepared sentences, but
with a heart full Of hope and longing
for the material development of the
South, and deeply interested in the
welfare of North Carolina. He closed
by urging the cultivation on the part
of the young men of virtue, courage,
industry, and truth, not for the bene-
| tit of young men alone, but for the
good they could accomplish in the SER
vice cf their State and in the service
| of their fellow-men, the great object
after all of material development be-
| ing to furnish universal opportunity
| for the mental, moral, and spiritual.
| His ailusion to the fact that slavery
/ and reconstruction had been the twin
evils that had retarded the material
| prosperity of North Carolina and the
South was received with many mani
festations of approval. When he said
| that the South loved the negro and
there was no room here for CoXeyiSm,
the audience broke forth in great ap-
plauSe. In the course of the speech
he incidentally intimated that the
new tariff bill would become law by
July 1St, and the invincible DemOcra-
cy present received this news with
great joy. The speech made pro
found impression and old timers de
clare that it is the greatest ORATOR
delivered here ina quarter Of cen
tury.

Worlds Fair Medals.

From present indications the medals
awarded to successful exhibitors at the
Worlds Columbian Exposition, which
closed in October a year ago, will not be
ready for distribution before February next.
Similar evidences Of superiority Of exhibits
closed, have already been delivered. and
the same Is true Of the awards made at the
exposition at Lyons during the present
year. The delay in the matter OF the de-
livery Of the Worlds Fair medals Is at.
tributabIe, in a measure, to the rejection OF
the st. Gaudens design on the score OF
National modesty, and much valuable time
was lost in the efforts OF that distinguished
artist to modify his design TO suit the Ideas
of Secretary Carlisle and the members OF the
Senate Quadro-Centennial Committee. As
is we'll known, Mr.. St. Gaudens failed In his
artistic efforts and his designs, original and
modified, were rejected, notwithstanding he
has been paid $4,000 for the same.
The medals are now being prepared on
composite design, the joint conception OF
Mr.. St. Gaudens and Charles E. Barber,
chief engraver at the Philadelphia Mint.
The latter made the design for the reverse
of the medal. the original design OF Mr..
ST. Gaudens for the diverse having been
found unobiectionable. This much was de-.
cided several weeks ago. Two or three
months will he consumed, however, in max.
ing the dies for the medals. The contract
for furnishing the bronze blanks and strik-
ing the medals has been let to the Scovtlle
Manufacturing Company OF Waterbury,
Conn. at their bid Of 1900. There are to
be 2S, 757 medals in all, each Of which is to
be three inches In diameter and seven
thirty-seconds OF IN inch thick. There is
considerable work to be done upon them,
and 1t is liberal calculation that they will
be ready tor distribution by the Government

Assumed Names Must Be Familiar.

'In assuming an alias, Captain
Henry ". Howgate did justwhatnearly
all criminals who take new names do,
remarked an old detective to a Post
man yesterday; "that is, used part
of his own name. Harry Williams,
the newspapers say, was the name he
assumed in New York. When a man
has to take an alias, he must have
name which will come quickly to his
tongue until he becomes familiar with
it. So he uses his middle name or
name similar to his Christian name,
or sticks to his title in some way ID
almost every case. Sometimes he will
use his .wife's maiden name or MS
mothers d maiden name. Many crook
has been caught by this. ."-Washlng'

A TROOP OF osTRlCHEs.

up and ready next morning at sunrise.
This is done, and every "boy" on the
farm who can find horse is mounted,
and regular cavalcade enters the
camp, under the superintendent of
"De Boss van de Plaats' master
of the farm. They split up into par
ties of two each, and start off in differ
ent directions to drive up the birds
from the remote spots to which they
have wandered. Warfare, of course,
is freely indulged in. It is immaterial
to an ostrich if there be one or fifty
against him, he fights just as merrily.
There exists travellers tale at home
that, as soon as an ostrich catches
sight of a human being, he turns tail
and bolts in an opposite direction to
hide his head in the sand. Another
fallacy, equally devoid of foundation,
is the belief that the female leaves her
eggs in the sand to be Matched jut in
the sun. This is not so. The male
and female sit alternately for forty
four days, the male at night, the
female during the daytime. As an
article of food, an ostrich egg is, to
my taste, the most nauseous OF dishes,
and far more suitable as an effective
weapon in Chinese and political war
fare than to grace breakfast table.
From all one had heard previous to
becoming oneself an owner of
ostriches, the actual piucking of the
birds is very uninteresting and disap-
pointing. The birds are all huddled
together in kraal-when every bird
becomes as meek as lamb-and are
caught one by one; bag or stocking
is placed over the head and neck,
while two experienced natives clip the
feathers. During winter the birds
must be attended to and carefully
watched, as sometimes the weather is
very inclement for weeks together
the thermometer often registering ten
degrees OF frost-and birds are apt to
fall off in condition. If a bird once
begins to sink in condition, the great
est difficulty is experienced in getting
him right again, and often no amount
of extra feeding will pull him through.

Dutch call it's heard night and day.
The bird initiates his neck in a cobra
like fashion, and gives utterance to
three deep roars. The first two are
short, but the third very prolonged.
Lion hunters all agree to asserting
that the roar of the king of beasts
and the most foolish of birds resemble
one another almost exactly. When
the birds are properly savage they be-
come great source of amusement
or, as some think, of danger.
have seen bird so savage as to
charge seven times in fifteen minutes,
twice receiving the prongs of the fork
through his neck. On horseback one
is even more obnoxious to an ostrich
than on foot, but, so long as the horse
is not afraid and will stand up to the
bird, there is no fear of an accident.
As he charges take care to have your
horse we'll in hand, and as the bird
makes his first strike, catch him by the
neck and hold on for all you're worth,
till the bird becomes exhausted from
want of breath and falls.
The female bird is seldom vicious.
When she has a nest or brood of young
chicks one must be prepared, but her
manner of charging and whole de-
meanor is very mild affair compared
! to the males. Perhaps it may sug-
gest itself to some of my readers:
what would result supposing three or
four birds tackled you at once? 1t is
very rare occurrence for more than
one bird to charge at time. Should
three or four male birds all imagine
at one particular moment, that you are
the meat of each one OF them sep
arately, they first of all tackle one an
other. the conqueror fighting you.
Collecting birds for plucking is al-
ways a great day on the farm. Orders
are given overnight to the Kafirs and
Hottcntots to catch every available
riding horse and have them saddled

Cornish, the foreign adviser Of the ar
senal, was with me, and our Chinese
cards were sent into the captain. A.
moment later round-faced Chinaman,i
standing at least six feet two, and
weighing 200 pounds, appeared on
deck. He bent over and shook his
own hands at me in Chinese fashion,
and then asked Mr.. Cornish and N.Y.
self to step down into his cabin. This
was large room, built much like the
saloons of one of our big boats. 1t
was furnished with number Of two-
foot tables, which stood against the
walls of the room, between heavy
armed teakwood chairs, so that as we
sat down each of US had table beside
him, upon which later on tea and
champagne were served. The tea was
given us in Chinese cups, with saucers
on their tops, so tilted into them as to
keep the tea leaves out of our mouths.
The champagne was served in little
glasses the size of an egg cup, and the
captain smacked his lips as the amber
fluid addibly gurgled down his throat.
In the centre of the room as we en-.
tered one of the officers of the ship
was sitting on stool with copper
basin in front of him and barber be-.
hind him. The barber was shaving hisj
head and braiding his queue, and the
officer did not seem to regard oul
presence in the least. He rose and
shook his own hands at us, then bowed
half dozen times, and then had HE
man go on with the shaving. There
was, IN fact, an unconyentionalityl
about the whole ship that was refresh-|
ing. A big mandarin was expected,
and the marines were dressing them-I
selves on board. One man pulled onI
his trousers as we came out OF theI
captains cabin on to the deck, and
another hurriedly got himself into his
coat.
! The marines wore dark blue shirts
or sacks and blue pantaloons OF wad-
ded cotton, which were tucked into
thick black cloth boots. The shirts
were bordered with wide bands of red
and were embroidered on the breast
with Chinese characters. I had one OF
the marines on deck photographed
and noted that his gun was "a muz
zle loader, though he was standing be-
side big Armstrong cannon at thd
time. I afterwards got picture pf u
whole crew with their turned-up straw
hats and their light blue clothes, a
they posed for their photograph Of
one of the biggest ships of the Chimes
navy, and I was struck with the nervi
shown in their faces and the agilitl.
with which they moved about at thei
work.

The Pumpkins Hours tor Growing.

A. P. Anderson, graduate student
in the department of botany at the
State University, has just completed
some novel and very interesting in
vestigations as to the growth of plants.
In this series of experiments Mr. An
derson has been studying the growth
of the pumpkin and its vine, making
use of his new electrical device for
measuring plant growth. This work
has been in progress for fully a week,
and the interesting fact is revealed
that the pumpkin itself does most OF
its growing after 7 o'clock in the even.
ing and diminishes its activity as the
sun rises and begins to act upon the
leaves. From 9 o'clock in the morn
ing until 8 o'clock in the afternoon
the weight Of the fruit diminishes,
owing to the evaporation of water
from the leaves of the plant. The
general results show that when the
fruit grows most the vine grows least,
and vice versa. The course of these
experiments has been watched with
great interest by the botanical depart
ment, as they cover a part OF the
science as yet very little known

From June up to September, or, in
fact, till Christmas, thousands of
chicks are reared every year, and
thousands meet with death every year
from some form of accident. Chicks
up to twelve months old die from var
ious maladies, but seldom after they
are full grown are they the victims of
any sickness, death usually resulting
from a broken leg, killed fighting, or
from scarcity of food in times OF
drought.
The nest of an ostrich is very crude
affair, consisting simply of round
hollow carved out in the sandy ground.
Sometimes the female bird may be
seen scratching in the ground prepara-
tory to laying her first egg; but this
is not often the case, the hollow gen.
orally being made by the continuous
sitting of the birds on the one spot.
One pair of birds will lay from ten to
twenty eggs, but, as is often the case,
three or four birds will lay in the one
nest, thus making the number of eggs
up to seventy or eighty. These, of
course, have to be weeded out, ms q
bird cannot comfortably cover more
than sixteen eggs: the remainder being
thrown on one side and left to decay.
Forty-four days is the recognized
time to allow for Matching. When a
nest is Matched. out the family are
taken out of the camp, and brought to
the homestead to be tanned where they
come into continual contact with the
farm hands, and are housed at night
out of the reach of wild animals. Dur.

Curious History of Berwick-on.Tweed.

It will be seen that in the notice
published in last nights Gazette as to
the general form of thanksgiving for
the birth of a young prince, the old
form is preserved, and that it is to be
used in all churches and chapels in
England and Wales "and in the town
of Berwick on Tweed" The announce.
ment recalls the curious history OF this
old town; how, while England and
Scotland were at variance, it belonged
first to one and then to another until
Henry VIII made it independent OF
both countries-a curious isolation
which it long preserved, possessing a
Chancellor, a Chamberlain and other
officers of a Kingdoms, rather than q
borough's, state. This was put an end
to by the municipal reform act, and
the name of Berwick-on-Tweed ceased
to appear as it formerly had done on
all acts of Parliament. 1t is presume
bly, an oversight that it has not disap-
peared from these notices also. Lon
