UNION OR N0N-UNIONf
An Interesting Labor Case Brought
Into Court.


An interesting case came up before
Chief Justice Bingham late this afternoon
in Equity Court No. l. when Attorney
Frank T. Browning, on behalf Of William
and Amos Vest, builders, presented to the
court petition praying that Albert Carry
be enjoiped from preventing them and
their employees from completing the cree
ton of stable and dairy on Sutland road,
Maryland.
Messrs. Yost contracted to erect the build
iEgs for Mr. Carry on the 1st Of last Octo-
her, and one of the clauses of the written
contract provided that they should employ
none but union men. The complainants
say that for several weeks they employed
none but union men, but also say that
when a representation of the carpenters
ment binding them to employ none but
union men at all times in the future they
refused to sign the agreement, although
told by such representation that If they did
not sign it all union men would be called
off.
Thereafter, when the union men refused
to longer work for them they secured non
union but equally skilled men, they say,
whereupon, with a shotgun in hand, Mr.
Garry refused to allow the non-union men
to work on the buildings, and still refuses to
allow them to be employed on the work
The complaSnants, saying that they are
ready and anxious to complete the work,
pray that Mr.. Carry be enjoined from pre-
venting them to complete the buildings.
Chief Justice Bingham was at first not
inclined to interfere, but finally directed
that a temporary restraining order issue,

From the London Spectator.
Referring to your correspondents letter
in the Spectator of November 8, noticing
the faculty which bears possess Of putting
two and two together, 1 wonder whether
any OF your readers have observed the
same thing with regard to some Of the
elephants in the geological gardens in Lon
den. For when child in throwing bis
cult to the elephant, dropped it between the
cage and the barrier, and out of reach of
the child or the elephant the latter blew
the biscuit with its trunk till the child
could reach it, and again attempt to throw
1t into the elephants mouth. This hap
pened not once, but several times. Not
that elephants have perfect reasoning pow
ers as the sequel to this story will show.
After the small child had made many vain
attempts to throw the biscuit far enough
a good-natured lad standing near thought
he would help, SO took the biscuit from
the child. This displeased the elephant
who thereupon dealt the lad severe blow
on the arm, causing him a good deal of
main.

WOES OF THE GREEN GROCER.
Schemes He Employs to Saye His
Fruits From the Small boy,

schemes He Employs to Save His
Fruits From the Small boy.
From the New York World.
The urchin that runs wild about the
streets sees no more harm in pilferinx
from the stand outside the corner grocery
than he does in robbing an orchard. The
individual thefts are so petty that they
seldom result in arrest. and the small boy
is not slow to take advantage of this i'm
munity. The loss generally falls upon a
man who can i'll afford 1t, for the majority
of greengrocers stands are owned by poor
men who rent the privilege from the cornei
grocers
Many schemes have been devised by tho
greengrocer to protect his stock, but eternal
vigilance seems to be the only one that can
be depended on. Appeals to the police are
of little avail, for the patrolman has a long
beat to cover. and when he happens to be
in the vicinity it is generally on the oppo-
site corner, where the saloon is situated.
The plan of having boy watch the stock
is rather poor one, for when he is not CO.
creed into collision with the other boys
they prosecute him until he resigns his Job.
Indeed it is no easy matter to get a boy
to do this work, and the grocer seldom
drafts his own son into the service for II
he happens to live in the neighborhood he
knows it will make the lad unpopular with
sill the boys around.
A plan that should prove eminently sue
cessful is the one put in practice by q
grocer in West Goth street near 18th avenue.
He has a man stationed just out of sight
inside the door, armed with horsewhip,
and woe betide the unfortunate youngster
who chooses this particular stand to supply
him with fruits or vegetables. Practice
has made the man quick and accurate, and
the small boy is unusually active who gets
out of range before catching three or four
cuts of the whip. AS many of the urchins
in that locality still go barefooted, one visit
to the stand has been generally enough for
even the most venturesome. and the
chances are that the man will hold his Job
until the weather becomes a great deal
colder than il is at present
"A boy who has been allowed to run the
streets all his life can hardly be blamed
for petty stealing" said a grocer. Il never
do anything to a youngster who grabs an
apple or a banana, but when l see women
put their children up to stealing vegetables
/ think 1t about time that an example
should be made. 1t happens oftener than
one cares to believe that women with
baskets will stand across the street and
send their children over to steal handful
of beans. a few potatoes or a cabbage.
Nothing but a miracle will save these boys
from swelling the ranks of the criminal
classes when they grow up

HYPNOTIsM AN ANAEsTHETIC.
Some Experiments of Interest Before
an Audience of Doctors.

Some Experiments of Interest Before
an Audience of Doctors.
From the Boston Herald.
Doctors disagreed at the eighteenth an
rual meeting of the Massachusetts, Sur
gical and genealogical Society. in Bos-
tonia Hall. yesterday afternoon. Interest in
the meeting was centered In an address and
demonstration bearing upon "Hypnotism
and Its Use as an Anaesthetic," by James r.
Cooke, NJ. D.. Of this city. Most of the
eighty doctors present were decidedly skep-
teal regarding the practice of hypnotism in
surgery. and during half an hour DIR. Cooke,
who Is an enthusiast on the subject, was
bombarded with questions. His demonstra-
ton, however, was success, even with one
of the doctors present as the subject.
DIR. Cooke explain ed in beginning that
hypnotism would never take the place in
surgery of ether or chloroform. But 1t has
place in surgery in such cases as the
treatment of old and painful sores and local
treatments. You must rid yourselves"
said DIR. Cooke. of the idea that there is any
animal magnetism or occultism about hyp-
EotiSm. 1t Is due to the fact that Ii is posi-
Bile Tor one part of our consciousness to be
divorced from the rest. We must regard
Our CONSCIOUSNESS as being capable Of being
split INTO units, and of acting upon one Of
these units through suggestion. You sug-
geSt that the hyTrotized person shall not
feel pain in q certain part of his body, and
that part of the consciousness is separated
from the rest"
After a brief statement of the principles
OF hypnotism. DR.. Cccke called In a young
woman, placed her in a chair and made
a few passes before her face
Breathe in hard" he exclaimed to the
patient. Breathe in hard for all the peo-
PIE in the universet All, your head is get
ting heavy: now it is lead; you are a lead
girl. You can't feel anything Now I'm
going to run a pin into your forehead. You
don't feel 1t, do your" he asked as he push
ed pin into the young woman's head to
which she family responded: NO"
Then he made the patient hold her arm
rigid in the air, and finally made her head
ard neck rigid and insensible TO pain In
one instant he called the patient out Of the
hypnotic state.
There was a skeptical murmur as the
patient left the room, and some of the doc
tors declared they would like to see him
do that with them"
DR.. Cooke then proposed to take one of
the doctors for a subject, and Dr. Arnold
of this city, lady physician, took her
place in the chair. In minute she was
anaesthetized and did not feel the prick
OF needle, which was thrust into her
cheek She expressed herself as satisfied
with the treatment, but the other doctors
were not fully convinced. and many at
tempts were made to entrap the hypnotist,
DR.. Cooke frankly answered all questions.
stating that he considered hypnotism as
no more dangerous than etherization. and
related some experiences with patients
which explained many cases.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. December 1.-THE official
announcement Of Readings reorganization
scheme and the signing of the Pacific Mall
Panama agreement were absolutely with
out influence as market factors this morn
ing. Tie former opened off nearly 1 per
cent from last nights closing, and imme-
diately relapsed into dizziness. while the
latter yielded to realizing sales for a sub
stantial decline.
Unofficial forecasts of the Reading plan
were sufficiently accurate to divest the
much discussed scheme Of all novelty, its
actual provisions containing no surprises
to the we'll informed.
The Presidents message to Congress rela-
tive to the Venezuelan boundary was not
wholly unexpected. appeals to popular
patriotism being likely to occur at regular
intervals during the next half year. The
market sold off during the afternoon on
what the street regarded as a feeling Of
vigorous upholding OF the Monroe doc
trine.
The markets abroad may be adversely in
fiuenced by the general publication of the
message and some liquidation of our securi-
ties is not unlikely. but it is not believed
that more than temporary inconvenience
will be suffered from this cause.
The securities most affected by the SELL
ing were those whose recent strength has
been attributed to artificial support and the
covering Of short sales. Manhattan's ad-
vance yesterday to l07 was without justifl-
cation, ard its tendency to react was de-
cidedly pronounced prior to the receipt Of
Washington advices. and the list generally
was regarded as inviting sales rather than
purchasers.
The purely professional character of The
market facilitated the Teactionary process,
traders quickly deserving the long side in
anticipation of quick returns from short
sales.
Tomorrow's London market will attract
unusual attention, and will reflect more &C.
curately the consensus of public opinion as
to the gravity of the situation.
The market for sterling and continental
bills was again strong and without visible
indications of relief from increased COM
mercial drawings. Indications point to
further losses of coin, although actual
dates for shipment are not determined.
The industrial shares were active and
mostly at substantial declines. Sugar was
weak during the afternoon. large sales
forcing a per cent decline from first
prices.
Tennessee Coal and Iron was advanced
during the early trading in purchases by
brokers identified with the upward move
ment several months ago, but later lost its
entire gain on realizing sales.
The last hours trading was more active
than at any time for several days, de-
clines ranging from u to l per cent being
recorded in the more active features.
