ON A STRIKE.

Rhode Island Mill Hands Quit Work Be-
cause Wages Are Not Advanced.
PROVIDENCE, r. L, May 2. -Additions
TO the ranks of the strikers at Olney-
vile yesterday brings the number now
out up to over 1000, the operatives of
the Taft & Weeden mill and $50 opera
tives from the Riverside mill having
struck yesterday morning. The pri-
mary cause of the general strike is
given out as the failure of the manu-
facturers to restore the reduction in
wages made over a year ago. The
strikers claim that they are prepared
TO stay out as long as the manufac-
turers hold together. It is expected
that the operatives in the Saxon and
Sarnia and the remaining employees in
the Riverside will come out to-day.

Young Limb OF the Law VINO was
Called Down.
AS the school days recede the class
ical learning of early years is more
than apt to fade upon the canvas of
memory. But there is one judge in
New York who. either by the strength
OF his recollection or the refreshing of
his college studies keeps alive his
knowledge of Horace and Homer, Vir.
gil and Xenophon.
One day recently Judge Abraham r.
Lawrence, of the supreme court, was
sitting in chambers, hearing an in
junction case involving a cigarette
that has as its patron an Egyptian
deity. Complainant and respondent
were both Greeks.
Noticing the Hellenic name of the
plaintiff the judge remarked: He APP
pears to be a Greek"
For that matter, you honor, both
parties litigant are Greeks" replied
one of the attorneys, a bright young
lawyer, fresh from his academic grove.
est is a case of Greek meeting Greek ."
ST don't understand the relevancy of
your observation" returned the judge.
''Why, surely, your honor is familiar
with that familiar quotation said
counsel little airily.
The judge was slightly nettled by
this reflection on his learning. Young
man. said he, perhaps you had bet
ter renew your acquaintance with your
'Anabasis.' This is case where Greek

The ssygild Life' Described by an Educated
Indian.
One of the earliest recol1ections Of
my adventurous childhood is the ride
had on pony's side. Itseems strange
to think of riding in this manner;
nevertheless, the Indian mode of life
made it possible. I was passive in the
whole matter. A little girl cousin of
mine was put in a bag and suspended
from the horn OF an Indian saddle; but
her weight must be balanced, or the
saddle would not remain on the ami
mails back. Therefore, also was put
into sack, and made to keep both the
saddle and the girl in their proper po-
sitionl scarcely objected to the man
ner of the ride, for 1 had very pleas
ant game of peek-a-boo with the little
girl, until we came to big snowdrift,
where the poor beast was stuck fast
and began to lie down. Then it was
not SO nice!
This was the convenient and primi-
tive way in which some mothers packed
their children for winter journeys
However cold the weather might be,
the inmate of the tur-1ined sack was
usually very comfortable-at least I
used to think so. 1 believe I was

conveyances, and. as boy, enjoyed
the dog-travois ride as much as any.
These travels consisted of set of raw
hide strips securely dashed to the tent
poles, which were harnessed to the
sides of the animal as if he stood be-
tween shafts, while the free ends were
allowed to drag on the ground. Both
ponies and large kind of dogs were
used as beasts of burden, and they car
ried in this way the smaller children
as well as the baggage.
This mode of travelling for children
was possible only during the summer;
and as the dogs were sometimes unre-
liable, the little ones were exposed to
certain amount of danger. For in
stance, whenever train of dogs had
been travelling for long time, almost
perishing with the.heat and their heavy
loads, a glimpse of water would cause
them to forget everything else for it.
Some of them, in spite of the screams
of the women, would swim with their
burdens into the cooling stream, and I
was thus not infrequently compelled
to partake of an unwilling bath.-St

the party, for the party, is not apt TO
be good government. The people have
lost confidence in the greedy political
organizations by which so many OF the
cities of this country have been raw
aged and depleted. They are coming
TO consider the average municipal ring
regardless of its party brand-a hard
and fast trust from which nobody but
the schemers on the inside can expect
benefits. The good government idea
is to discountenance all such con
spiracies and to bring the people to-
gether in patriotic effort to improve
the public service The party over
seer must go. The inveterate ringster
must be evicted from Office and de-
posed from leadership The hee'er
must be treated as other toughs and
social enemies are treated. The party
commissaries must be given to under
stand that the provisions do not be-
long solely to them and their relatives
The rule of organized bri ibery and
greed must be broken. In order to do
this the respecta BILE elements of every
community must meet with common
determination to lift the pu bile service
above the irresponsible and predatory
rule of rings, cliqnes, clans, trusts,
factions, couspiracies or parties-Gal-

At recent meeting of the Jewish
Historical Society, held at Washington,
Mr.. Simon Wolf, of Washington, and a
member of the executive council of the
society read an interesting paper on
1.-THE Jew as Soldier" in which he
dealt principally with the members of
the Jewish race in the armies of the
North and South, during the late war
Mr.. Wolf said that his researches in
this direction were originally prompted
by the publication of an article in the
North American Review some years
ago, which asserted that there were to
he found no Jewish names among the
rolls of the Union army during the late
war, and that the Jewish race had
shirked the responsibility assumed by
the other races of the country in de-
Tending the country's flag. lu setting
himself to refute this falsehood the
speaker said he had been met with al
most insurmounta ble obstacles, owing
To Une cnardcbeT duu Scdu'lue'Sn VI ChS
records. He had amassed, ho wever, a
large amount of material which was to
be published within the next three
months. The paper was long one,
and Mr.. Wolf read merely an abstract
to the society He said his researches
so far had shown him that ont of a
population of 100000 Jews in this
country at the time of the war, there
had been corresponding larger per
cent enlisted in the armies of the North
and South than any other race. He had
been able to definitely locate 7,243 Jew
ish soldiers, and there weretl, 800 of
whom he had been unable to classify
according to st ates and service. This
made a total of ) per cent of the jew
ish population. OF these there had
been 3I6 killed, 1886 wounded. SO taken

cuous bravery the Jewish soldier had
stood equally we'll. OIt of the 3,00O,-
900 soldiers of the war there had been
400 who had received the coveted medal
of honor. of these were Jews, and
all of them, in the reports OF their
superior officers, had been mentioned
as the peers of any heroes of the war.
The Jewish race had not only held
positions in the ranks, but they had
won generalshias and other honorable
p,aces in the line. The record, the
speaker said, would, when completed
effectually refute the charge of cow
ardice made against the race.

The Wave Has Reached Charles
ton.

Charleston is to have good govern
ment club. It's objects are
| l.. To excite and maintain a more
general interest in public affairs, and
to induce the attention OF all good citi-
zens at political meetings and cleo
tions, whether primary or general
2. To guard and secure freedom, pur-
ity, and fairness in elections, and to
cause TO be enforced the penalties of
the law against fraud and wrong
therein.
This movement is in line with SIM
liar manifestations throughout the
country. The people are at last alive
to the fact that bad government is un:
profitable and dangerous. Only a
handful of favorites and heelers can
hope to thrive out of the ring rale by
which the country has been so sorely
affected. 1t is essentially an enemy to
thrift for all others. Bad government
has been found, as it must necessarily
be, supreme and grievously eXpen-
sive nuisance to the great majority of
the people. There is nothing in it
for them but risks and losses. Its
drains and burdens are penalties that
good citizens pay for their silence, ac-
quiescence, Indifference, or misdirected
assistance in political contests. Refer
ring to the indolent and self-neglect
ing sefishness of the citizen who takes
no interest in public affairs the
Charleston News and Courier says:
"Some of the best citizens never at
tend political meetings, many of them
never think of taking an interest i'll
political affairs, hundreds of them by
their own negligence or from other
causes, which are very well understood
but which it is useless to name here,
have been deprived of the right to
vote. Some of the best citizens do
nothing and can do nothing to help
the city or themselves, to protect their
own interests or the city's interest, to
elect their own officers or representa-
tives. 1t is claimed by many that our
political affairs have not been man
aged right and that our methods have
not beeu such as to secure the free
dom, purity and fairness of the cleo
tions. 1t is proposed to organize
oood government club in Charleston.
whose whole purpose shall be to
straighten the crooked places and to
pive every man, whatever the brand
of his politics, a fair and equal chance
at the polls at every election.
II is good government for Charleston,
city and county. and good government
for the state for which the club will
work. 1t will not be partisan or frac-
tional. Its purpose and hope is to
break down every barrier to the freest
elections and the fairest count. Such
clubs have been organized elsewhere,
and have accomplished great public
GOOD. Such club would find plenty
of work in Charleston and would ac-
complish great good for Charleston"

"TRAIN up THE CHILD"
Never Give Him What He Whines For
If You Are Wise.

DIR. Mary Wood Allen writing in
"Womankind" of breaking children
of the habit of whining says: "In
this case, / should say, that the
first thing to do is to secure the
cordial cooperation of every other
adult member of the family. Let
there be united purpose never to
give to the child that for which he
whines, even if it would be given
to him otherwise. Give him to
understand this in a firm but gentle
way, and if possible, secure his
approval of the idea. Tell him
kindly of the evil of the habit, the
unhappiness it causes him and
everyone else, show him that it is
creating habit for the future years
and tell him you are all going to
help him to overcome it. Let him
feel that your refusal to grant his
whining requests are to aid him,
not to punish him. Then steadily,
persistently sweetly and firmly.
adhere to this policy. Never once
yield to his insistence, but always
recognize his attempt to meet your
wishes in pleasant manner.
If the thing he wants is some
thing he should not have, tell him
so, and assure him that no amount
of whining will secure it, and then
let him whine. Wait, don't scold,
don't tantalize, don't appear to be
either disturbed or moved by his
whining. If what he desires is
something he can have, and he
whines for it, assure him that as
soon as he asks pleasantly he can
have it, and then give him time to
make up his mind to be pleasant.
We are too apt to try to drive our
children rapidly from one frame of
mind to another. Wait patiently,
and if possible, help him by divert
ing his thoughts to something
agreeable. In few minutes he
will probably get control of himself.
1t is often very touching sight to
witness the efforts of children to
gain self control, sometimes under
the stings of the tantalizing re
prOaches of their elders.
