the Premises By u Forribie Entrance.
When Charles VI. Anderson went down
to open oat his brothers. saloon at Fifth
and Walnut streets, at 5 O'clock Tuesday
morning he was unable TO enter the place
owing to the fact that the saloon had beeu
fastened against nm during the night
An iron bar prevented the door from
opening. Anderson went at once to the
house OF his brother, Lewis I. Anderson
and told him he was unable to get into the
Saloon and the latter at once suspected
that Mrs. Ravne, the owner OF the prop
erty, was trying to Dust him from the
premises.
1t seems that Anderson leased the saloon
about seven months agu from Mrs. Bayne
and the lease does NOT expire until March
18th. lS0ti. Walter Ii. Hayes, his counsel,
examined the lease anu satisfying himself
that Anderson WAS entitled to possession
OF the saloon until March, 1876 advised
him to force an entrance to the place. Ser
geant Welch went with Anderson to Fifth
and Walnut streets to preserve order. Mrs.
Bayne, who lives in the rear of the saloon,
came to the window, but refused to open
the door, and warned Anderson to break
the door at his peril.
Anderson picked mp brick, ard smash
ing the glass in the door out, reached his
arm in and took the iron pin out of the bar
which held the door fast. Then he raised
the iron bar, unlocked the door and
walked in. He afterwards opened the
shutters of the saloon and few minutes
later was prepared for business Mrs.
Bayne made no further resistance.
Anderson says that Mrs. Bayne has
rented the place to another man for II sum
in advance of the rental which he now
pays, and for this reason he says she is
trying to Dust him from the property.

Z. T&eivc OF Inc beanIerS who struck ut the
Arlington Wills on Saturday week held Il
injecting ifitne Old Academy last saturday,
but gust whAt was accomplished those who
attended will not tell. Hut they did not de
eide to 90 buck to work, and are still idle.
II was understood, indirectly, that the
bealners at the meeting were divided As To
what was beat TO do. Some wanted TO go
back at the old wages, slo.75, while the
malprlty would not agree to do so.
Ii was rilmored ON SATURDAY, that the
managers had decided to close the mills
until next September, in consequence OF
the PENDING difficulties. A representative
of tlietrm was seen Monday by GAZETTE
reporter and questioned as to the correct-
nessof-the runer.
''fhat is q false statement. the gentle
mainsaid. IF the II men come back to
work on the old terms before next Mon
day. or by that time. the mills will be
started, and the management Will Keep
them going as best they can.
I'VE have in stock now 100 packages of
manufactured goeds and as we cannot
make any sales until June or July we can
we'll afford TO let the mills remain idle.
We have two or three machines run
pinglnow on next fail and winter samples
and that is all the work we actually want
done at the present time.
1.-THE company cannot afford to advance
the beamersl wages. There is great diff
ference in the beaning done here aud at
other concerns where more money is paid.
Our mill is a gingham mill and our COM
petitprs are Eastern and Southern con-
Germs, the principal competition being two
large mills in the South, which have a
great advantage over las in the way of
wages .....
II will be seen that if the beamers re-
maiu out the mills will be closed. but if
they consent to go back ut the old figure
the mills will resume. BY the strike be-
tween 800 and 400 people are thrown ont
of work, and unless the mills are put IN
operation again soon many of them will
seek employment elsewhere.

that Ignorance is the better part, And in
spite of this obvious conclusion, he would
be u bold man indeed who could avow it

The contrary, every student knows, is
true. The friends of compulsory educn

ability to read and write will make saints

that the ability to read and write consti-
tutes liberal education. They do, how
ever, assert that the information npon
which Chief Doan's deductions are based
is altogether insufficient.
The Knowledge of reading and writing
record that the undersigned criminols
have attended school or even Sunday
school-does not warrant the inference
that schools, academies, Sunday-schools
and compulsory education are instruments
of the evil one and attend directly to the
manufacture of criminals. The criminal
class unfortunately exist not because of
these institutions of learning and these
agencies to instil learning, but in spite of
them. What would the student say of
Chief Dolans figures? Simply this; That
while they may be true, they are not con-
elusive,
1t is against common sense to assume
that knowledge makes criminals although
it is undoubtedly true that the Cleyerest
criminals are generally educated men.
