STREET CAR MEN STRIKE.
Five Thousand Employees on Brooklyn
Trolley Lines Are Out.

Five Thousand Employees on Brooklyn
TrolleyLines Are Out.
BROOKLYN. N. Y, Jan. 16.-At 5
o'clock Friday morning all the trolley
cars in Brooklyn were tied up, the
employees refusing to take out the cars.
Over 5000 men quit work This
includes motormen, conductors, cleo
tricians, switchmen and others en-
ployed at the various power-houses.
All but one of the surface roads,
and that comparatively minor con-
Germ, are affected.
The mems grievances and demands
are thus stated: The state law pro-
vides that a days work of street
railway employees shall be ten
hours, within twelve consecutive
hours. 1t is alleged that the corpora
tions have required the men to
work eleven hours, and even, latterly,
tweve hours, with no interval longer
than ten minutes for lunch, and even
depriving them of that brief time in
most instances. The wage rate agreed
upon year ago was two dollars for the
statutory days work; the companies, it
is alleged, have made no allowance for
overtime. The men demand adherence
to the law regulating hours in days
work, or 1925 for a day of twelve
hours.
An address issued by the executive
committee of District Assembly No.
IS, alleges that the trouble was pre-
cipitated by the Brooklyn Heights
company in excluding their cleo
trio workers from work. The
statement goes on to say that the fla
grant violation of the ten-hour law has
mentally and physically incapacited
the men for their work. All the COM
panies run their trippers SO that the
men can make only from forty to sixty
cents a day.
BROOKLYN, Jan. 21.-The failure of
the state board Of mediation and arbi-
tration to secure settlement, and
the fact that the officials and employees
of the trolley roads have been unable
to come to an agreement after numer-
GUS attempts to reach satisfactory con-
illusions, have not helped to allay pub
lie apprehension of impending labor
troubles of the first magnitude Mayor
Schieren's requisition for military adds
to the feeling.

In London Oscar Wilde's new play
IA Model Husband" has gone to pieces.
The critics say it was much worse than
either of the plays by him which have
been successful from ''talky-talky"
standpoint. At the same time play
by Henry James scored a failure even
more brilliant. Writing plays seems to
be as precarious way of making a
living as praying for rain.

a WORD TO PARENTS.
Regarding Treatments of Children Durir

Regarding Treatment OF Children During
Courtship.
II the parent has been the compan-
Ion and friend, the comrade and conf
dante of the child all the way along
from infancy to maturity, there will
exist between the two a mode of COM
munication which without words will
keep up perfect mutual understands
ing, so that both will feel just what is
proper in every delicate exigency.
But unfortunately this ideal equilib-
rum of sympathy is very rare and the
cold, hard facts OF life must be antici-
pated by the parent long precedent to
the days Of courtship, and set before
the child without shrinking or preiu-
dice. And here is where the most diff.
cult part of duty les.
The nearer we can come to regarding
our children with the absolute vision
OF love the nearer we shall approach
the ideal Of understanding with regard
to their natures, dispositions, tenn
pers, needs. Here is the secret What
one young person would accept as
proper and final would but arouse
anger and obstinacy in another.
In the sacred affair that we call court
ship, and too often treat with
light Indifference or sentimental
evasion, there should always be pres
ent the profoundest regard for char
acter, and to this every appeal should
be made. Lovers and sweethearts are,
by what love implies, mature men and
women; for marriage is not now-a-
days contemplated as possible between
stripplings and school girls; and as
men and women our sons and daugh-
ters must be regarded during court
ship. We can not say yes and no to
them with cars or empress air OF
supremacy: our influence must reach
them through the fine, pure medium
of that love which has, since infancy,
been growing between us and them.
If we see with tho practiced and
practical vision of experience and act
upon the unselfsh principle of pa
rental affection our children will be
very apt to meet us half way in our
! efforts to direct them, even in their
wrestlings with the blind god. Half
the battle is fought, nay the victory is
already won, if from their birth on
ward our children have been shown
that we never take advantage of them
because we are their parents.-Lucy
Barnard Cope, in Chautauquan.

IT is not clear that letter carriers
were regularly employed before 1853,
when tradition tells us that Benjamin
Franklin. the new postmaster general,
employed them in Philadelphia. The
earliest evidence is of 1862. when the
Philadelphia postmaster advertised
that his "boy" had run away, and that
patrons must call for their letters at
the post office. The Postal Journal of
Hugh Finlay, storehouse of sound
information, tells us that Boston had
no letter carrier in 1773. Of New York,
he says that ''soon after the arrival of
a mail the letters are quickly delivered
by runner" viz, letter carrier.

$500 FOR A NAME.

This is the sum we hear the Salzer
Seed Co. offer for a suitable name for
their wonderful new oats. The United
States department of agriculture says
Salzer's oats is the best of 300 varieties
tested. A great many farmers report
a test yield of 200 bushels per acre last
year, and are sure this can be grown
and even more during 1895. Another
farmer writes us he cropped 112 bush
els of Salzer's Marvel Spring wheat on
two and one-half acres. At such yield
wheat pays at SOC per bu. One thing
weknow and that is that Salzer is the
largest Farm Seed grower in the world

In Chicago last year twelve divorced
couples took out new licenses and were
remarked. This is one of the hopeful
signs of the times. In the same city
the hard times seems to have no effect
upon the matrimonial market, the rec
ord of licenses taken out being fully
up to that of 1893, which was favora-
BILE year on account of the worlds
fair. The Chicago record of $500 Ii
censes shows June to have been the
banner month, although October had
held the supremacy for twelve years
