charged, and they could not get back into the
factories again. Many were so severely pressed
for money that they sent their own little boys
and girls to the places where they formerly
worked to earn enough to keep from starving.
Instead of the father supporting aud edueat-
ing the child, the child supported the father
who was obliged to walk the streets in idleness.
To give some idea of how the omblnalon
treated the men, there was the Banner Cigar
Company, employing 40 men, and 1T dis
charged forty in one bunch. Brown Bros en-
ployed ninety men and discharged all but
about dozen. George Moebs d co. had eighty,
but kept only fourteen. Gordon Co. had
forty, but retained but two. Hermann, Dletz
& Co. kept only twelve out OF thirty-fye adult
cigar-makers. Harrington Oulette and
dozen other concerns made similar reductions,
but they would all take as many boys and girls
as they could secure.
AT last the cgarmakers saw that at this rate
they would all be discharged and have their
places filed with children, and Union % petit
toned the International CIgarmakers' Union
to be allowed to go on a strike. Permission
out. We hope to win, for after being out ten
months the big Boston cigarmakers strike re-
suited in victory for the cigarmakers.
Mr.. Strauss stated that he had asked for
the assistance of the Labor Commissioner
of Michigan to help break up the child
labor system, but the latter claimed to be
powerless, as the law on that subject in
that State is faulty. Little ones not over
10 and IL years of age were worked over
time, and the Commissioner said he could
not. prevent it if the children's parents
gave their permission and signed state
ment that they were over IA years old.
The object of the speakers visit to this
coast is to get up an agitation against the
firms employing children. He said that
in the Northwest his agitation has caused
many hundred thousand cigars to be sent
back to Detroit. He has with him a large
number of pictures taken by stealth with
snap-camera showing dozens of little
boys and girls wearing out their young
lives at the cigar-rolling benches.
The local union took ND the matter with
q spirit and determination to do ell in
its power to help the cigar-makers of
Detroit who are now out on strike, not
for money, but against child-labor. TWAS
decided to hold a mass-meeting soon and
give the makers who employ child-labor
an advertising that will not benefit their
Pacific Coast trade.

DISAPPOINTED JAPANESE,
They Sue a Navigation Company
for the Return of Passage
Money.
How an Oriental Made a Snug Com.
mission at the Expense of His
Countrymen.

The fact that the Japanese are fast learn
ing the ways of their brethren of the Occi-
dent, particularly in relation to matters
financial, was illustrated in a suit filed in
the Justice courts yesterday, in which
Alfred r. Kurosawa sues the Oregon Rail
way and Navigation Company for $3.50 and
costs.
The complaint alleges that on Septem-
Der 25 last the company sold a mum Der of
Japanese DESTROYS of returning to Japan
tickets to Yokohama via Portland for
$37 50 each; that the company failed to
carry out its contract as carrier, and
when the return of the passage money was
dem anded only refunded $34 to each dlsap-
pointed subject of the Mikado. The claims
were a ssigned to the plaintiff, who brought
suit for the aggregate amount.
at the Office of the company it was
learned that an Americanized Jap had
taken advantage of his knowledge of the
ways OF corporations to turn penny for
himself. On learning of the intended de-
parture of his countrymen for Japan he
called at the offices of the company, and
agreed that If a certain commission was
insured him he would direct the travel to
the Navigation Company. This was &C.
ceptable, and the tickets were sold to him
in bunch, he delivering them to the
japanese. When the disappointed ones
asked for the return of their passage
money they were astonished to learn that
their friend had only paid $34 each for the
passages, and that they could only get
that much back from the corporation.
They protested, but without avail, the
officers of the company insisting that they
must take the amount the corporation
had received or accept transportation by
a steamer sailing at future date.
Through an oversight the transportation
OF the men had not been provided for, and
the. company could not help it.
Then the Japs sought their suave coun--
tryman, but he was not to be found, and
they took their only recourse-the court.

The prime factor in maintaining this steady
growth and in escaping debitating summer diseases
TO which children apt is lactated food-a
food that does not disagree with the delicate
stomach. that is eaten with zest and appetite that
is absolutely insured against contamination, and
amply capable of furnishing strength and a solid
increase In flesh aud blood
Lactated food is made with the express inten-
tion Of forming perfect substitute for healthy
mothers milk. Its basis is sugar of milk; with IL
are combined the Iutrtive parts Of wheat, barley
and oats, producing pure food which meets every
requirement OF the growing child. An infant likes
1t. Fretfu peeyish babies grow strong, r1ddy ard
healthy on it, 1t has the unusual virtue of induc-
Ing delicate babies to take abundance Of pour-
ishment when other foods disagree with them, and
when retarded growth, feebleness and intestinal
irritation threaten the poorly fed child.
1t Is Ignorance on the part of nurses and parents
that Is to blame for the summer disorders darrhoea
and cholera infantum Children must eat WELL di-
gest well and be protected from impurities in their
food to grow rapidly, and to escape sickness In
the homes of a vast number of physicians and well
informed parents, lactated food is the sole diet
for the little ones, not only in summer but all the
year round 1t Is a perfect infant food. testi-
fed by thousands Of happy mothers. 1t gives all
the raj idly growing tissues q chance to be fed
and completely nourished.
Mrs L. E. Reynolds of Fair Haven, Vt, says:
"Our little Mary is perfect picture Of health,
having used factated food since She two
months old. She has always been perfectly well.
and think that this is largely due to her use
of lactated food
baby's whole duty is to keep strong and well.
The parents duty is TO give the infant the best
food in the world-and that is iactated food. All
druggists supply 1t.

A Dog. Heroic Faithfulnes..

From the Philadelphia Press.
Baltimore and Ohio train brought
to Wheeling. W. Va, the mangied
body of James Settle, a sixteen-year-
old boy, who had been killed by the
train at Point Mills. The boy spent last
night with party of friends in the woods
and got but little sleep. When he came
home this morning he drove the cows to
pasture, accompanied by a big shepherd
dog: He was drowsy, and on the way
back sat down on the track to rest the
dog lying beside hom.
Engineer Henry McBirney says that when
the train rounded the curve beyond the
Point Mills cut he saw the boy lying full
length along the rail. The dog, knowing
the danger, had seized his coat collar and
was tugging with all his might, having
his feet planted just outside the rail, try
ing to Pull his masters body off the track
The train was near that 1t could not
be stopped. but the air was put on and the
speed checked. while the whistle was
footed.
The boy was partially awakened by the
dogs efforts and began beating the faithful
brute with his fist, but the dog held on
and put forth all his power to save his
master. AS the engine drew nearer McBir-
ney and the fireman shut their eyes to
hide the death scene from their view
When the train was stopped and run back
both the boy and his constant companion
were found horribly mangled.

From the Philadelphia Record.
An enterprisins young man. who is part
owner in a BOAT house down the river,
claims to have discovered something that
will be Of inestimabie value to suffering
mankind If experience proves its worth.
The inhabitants of this down-the-riyer boat
house were nearly torn to pieces by mos
quitoes every time they attempted 20 sleep
in the house at night. Screens seemed to
be of no avail, and it looked at one time
as if the house would have to be aban-
doned. Finally, an old lady, who lived in
the neighborhood, told them that she had
not been troubled by mosquitoes for several
years. Her remedy was astonlshingly SIM
pie. She discarded all screens, and threw
the windows wide open at night. Across
the open space of the window she stretched
a piece of red ribbon about two inches
wide. "A mosquito" said she, "canno: be
induced to pass that ribbon. Why it is SO /
do not know, but / know the natives of
India take this means of battling the vicious
mosquitoes. 1t works to perfection here
also" The young man followed instruc-
tioIAs and now declares that there has not
been a mosquito in the boat house since the
ribbon was stretched across the doors and
windows.

From the chicago Tln,es derald.
THE most remarkable thing I ever saw
done by fish," said Will Mussey. did not
happen on any far-away lake. but right
here in Chicago. 1t was during the rail-
road exposition, held many years ago in
the old interstate exposition building on
the lake front. Many of the railway COM
panies had fine exhibits of fish taken from
lakes and streams on the lines of their re-
spective roads. A Wisconsin road had a
splendid exhibit of black bass and gray
lings and the large tank containing them
was always surrounded by crowds of fish
ermen. l was standing there one after
noon watching a huge bass and wishing
that I had him at the end of a good line
in some good water. when / noticed a gray
ling who seemed disposed to be gay. He
circled around the big bass couple of
times and then nipped him. He was prob
ably just in fun. but could see that the
bass did not like it The big fellow had
been asleep, and perhaps he awoke with a
bad taste in his mouth. He made no move
ened at this. and, after lowering around
the black fellow for a moment made an
other dive at him. Like flash the bass
turned to one side and with a snap grabbed
eSes shone wtS ras rase ae n WAS as ,hs
personirication of anger and ferocity.
There was swirl of water, and when it
was over the grayling was quivering in

few feet and opened his jaws. Never un-
til then did realize the possibilities of the
jaws Of black bass. He seemed all mouth,
and he made a running jump at the gray
ling and caught him head first. Now the
grayling. while not so heavy as the bass,
was fully as long. 1 did not think that
the bass was going to attempt to swal-
low the grayling 1t would be like me try
Ing to swallow Jake Schaefer. But that
was what he did, and, what is more, he
succeeded. He worked him down slowly,
lying quietly in one corner of the tank,
while thousands vainiy tried to get near.
He started this banquet at o'clock in the
afternoon. At 10 o'clock at night the gray
ling was half way down. There was but
little change the next morning, and it was
four days before that bass could close his
jaws over the tail of that CRAWLING. There
are 10000 people in Chicago who can vouch
for every word of this
