STRUCK FOR QUARTERS.
Dramatic Contest Between Strik.
ing PAYERS.

Dramatic Contest Between Strik-
ing PAYERS.
There was a small and futile strike
yesterday noon among the PAYERS
in the employ of Hennessy & Cox, on
Sixth street, corner of Robert. Some
twenty white men, mostly Irish, had
been working at the corner during
the morning. They gathered at noon
in the alley alongside the Metropoli-
tan opera house to eat their dinners.
AT 1 o'clock they refused to return
to work unless they received % cents
more than their regular wages of
$1.25 per day. The demand was re-
fused, and a gang of negroes en-
ployed by the same firm at grade
work further up the street was
called down to take the places of the
strikers. About this time several of
the Wilbur chorus girls passed by on
their way to rehearsal. In the eyes
of these bewitching ones, at whose
feet the extra quarter was no doubt
intended to be a sacrifice in the way
of gallery tickets, the ardent Miles
ians plucked up courage. Crouching
behind tool boxes and piles of stone,
quite in the attitude Of comic opera
bandits, they sent forward one of
their number as a skirmiSher. APP
preaching with long dramatic strides
the smallest, if the most homely, of
the darkieS-a gentleman named
Scipio Skitt-the skirmisher, the
Robert LIE Diable, so to speak, fold
ed his fists suggestively. He also
whispered, in the key of B fiat, q
threatening Italian remark about
"dimmednaygures." Immediately
Scipio rose UP and Immediately
Robert went down. His fall was not
in accordance with operate canons,
for he sang no dying defiance. He
laid down silently and at once.
Before Scipio could gain control Of
his large, brown right hand, four as
sistant bandits also went over back
wards in painful, undramatic silence.
There was then a decided "alarum
without" The whole chorus of the six
teen remaining bandits broke forth in
violent song, keeping time with bricks,
rocks, and paving blocks. Each sepa-
rate note was struck with new baton,
and several of Sciopio's Roman
bodyguard We're confused with the
notes. But no shins or their
vital parts were injured. Sci
pic waited for his cue, then, rush
ing forth in turn, he sang such a STIR
ring recititavo before the entrance to
the alley that the curtain fell to the
splendid spectacle of the bandit band
in full retreat. Officer Carroll had ar
rived in time for the final tableau, but
he failed to get a chance to beat a
single note. The brave followers Of
Robert LIE Diable will go to work again
in their old places this morning and at
the old rate. They agreed last night
that chorus girls are no prettier than
other pretty girls.
George Brown was yesterday ar
rested while trying to dispose, on
Robert street, of some clothing taken
from the residence of w. G. Clark,
$50 Ashland avenue. The arrest was
made by officer Walsh.

Mysterious Accident.

Secretary Hutchins, of the Relief So

weeping young woman, who wanted
her fare paid to Duluth, that she
might fly to the aid of her husband,

Zenith City. Neither the st. Paul &

Managing q Husband.

The management of husbands is a topic
not new, but of never failing interest to
the mass of women who find their matri-
monial path not completely obscured
from view by rose leaves. A clever
writer when asked her views on the sub
iect said: ''The wisest women usually
know the least about managing man.
If you wish to gain ideas of value ask a
little woman with retrOusSe nose and a
weakness for bonnets and changing fash
ions. The sensible woman wouldn't be
like her for the world, and yet ten to one
that little woman has the more sense of
the tWo-i. e., more sense about the vital
questions of life-relative to domestic
happiness. She won't tell you her Sc
cret of making a devoted slave out of a
selfish. everyday kind OF man, but you
NAV depend upon it she doesn't worry
about the butcher and the baker and
other bill collectors who call on the first
of the month. She buys silk stockings
and wears ribbon bows on her under
wear. and sews sachet powder into her
gowns and never lets him know she can
wash dishes or make beds or do COM
mon-place work that you can hire done
for S. a week. He, in the meantime,
plunges ahead to get the money to meet
obligations and keep up a stiff life in
surance besides to take care of her after
he is gone. He has no.time to firt. 1t
isn't a good thing for a man to have too
much time on his hands. The best of
them are inclined to firt. This is what
the pug-nosed woman would tell you if
she told you the truth. She won't tell
YOU. though. She is far too smart to do
that.

papers recently presented this character

the portrait is SO terse and true that 1T

the odds and ends of bread and meat left
over from meals and works them up into
appetizing and nutritious dishes. instead
of throwing them away. Her clothing
she keeps clean by the use of aprons;
she has suits OF clothes suitable for dirty

Not Up in Fractions.

An indignant mother, accompanied by
her reluctant son, appeared in a Boston
schoolroom the other day, so the Tran
script says, and fired this question at the
school mistress: 'Why isn't my Mickey
put ahead?" The teacher trembling ex-
planned that Mikey's knowledge of frac-
tons being more vague than voluminous,
he couldn't possibly do the work of a
higher grade. 'Ah-h-h, fractionsv ex-
claimed the irate visitor: and no words
can do justice to the contempt thrown
into the ejaculation. Fractions! Fwhat
do my Mickey want O. fractions? Thim'll
do well enough for the little childer Ny
Mickey don't want none of 'em." The
teacher, who was very slender-her visit
or being the decided opposite as well
as decidedly wrathy expected to be her
self, made a practical illustration of frac-
tons, SO she maintained discreet silence,
and the visitor. after lurid monologue,
withdrew, with the parting denunciation,
"Anny wan could tell be the build iv ye
that We know nothin'.' She evidently
considered herself the build" for the
acquisition and distribution of knowledge.
But the teacher was not the only one to
meet the lady's wrath. AS she pushed
the luckless Mickey out into the hall she
mathematical him thus: ''Ah, We dunno
nothin'. and We always will!'

The Punishment Too Severe.

If every thoughtless lad who has loot
ed other peoples fruit trees had been
killed for the indiscretion | am afraid
the world would be rather lonely place
today.
The biographies of nearly all famous
men show just such tendencies in their
youth.
| know how annoying these small dep
redators can be, for even a wystaria vine
in front Of house is standlng-or
rather running-invitation to little long
ing eyes and fingers, but surely good
spanking or shaking, or even an arrest
is sufficient to make ''the punishment
fit the crime"
The color of the child has nothing to do
with the case-at least in my eyes
though it probably has in the eyes OF
many of Miss Flagler's apolOgists, who
seem to share the general feeling of the
Southern whites that the death of a col
ored person is a matter of small moment.
The young lady is very ILL. it is stated,
which IS, of course, sad, but how about

discarded Spotters.

The street car spotter has practically
disappeared from some Western cities,
where just lately scheme of selling tick
etc for % cents. good for six rides, has
come into general use. The conductor
punches hole in the ticket for each ride.
The spotter cannot, of course, tell which
passengers have paid cash fares and which
have trip cards, and SO his usefulness has
gone, and he is going himself. The Rock
Island railroad recently adopted seem
ingly excellent plan on its local trains
running out of Chicago. The conductors
were informed that spoilers would not
in future be employed on the road, and
that the money thus saved would be ap-
conductors. The conductor would not in
future be watched, but would be regarded
as trusted employees and paid as such.
The plan is said to work to the satisfac-
ton of both company and men.

BEER N1CKELS IN NEWARK.

Of very hard metal. and the boys knew
it. They got soft German silver blanks
just the size of a 5-cent piece, and then
made a sandwich of two nickels and a
blank. They'd lay the three pieces under
a drop press and give them one bang,
or put them under a screw press and
squeeze them hard. The result would
be a queer nickel, like you've got there.
The figures on the good nickels would
be squeezed into the soft blank. The
bogus pieces would pass easily for worn
nickels. I'll bet there are hundreds of

A Monster Sturgeon.

A party of flag gatherers at work on
Goose island Saturday were attracted
by terrible splashing of water about
ten rods from where they were cutting
flag. They soon discovered the cause of
the commotion, and with heavy flag
knives in hand they made for the spot.
They found grounded sharp-nosed stur>
geon weighing 800 pounds. The men
plunged into the water and with their
long knives dispatched the mammoth
fish. But the killing of this was no
boys play, for it was half an hour before
life was extinct. The fish was cut in
pieces, and divided among the men. 1t is
nothing uncommon at the present time to
see from the water front from six to
eight of the fish, some of enormous size
splashing in the water.-Essex, CT, cor.

himself off, A broken neck would be
the certain consequence of remaining.
AS for stopping him, somebody has well
said that you might just as well try to
stop a runaway locomotive by pulling
with your walking-stick on the funnel
as to seek to check an elephant at such
moment with a goad.
By stroking an elephants lip in GER
tain manner you can make it purr like
a huge grimalian, till the earth shakes
beneath your feet When it is afraid or
angry it squeaks like an unoiled hinge.
But when it suddenly jumps aside like
flea, you imagine for a moment that the
ultimate terrestrial cataclysm has gone
off,
The Malays never wholly trust their
elephants, and were nervous at my famll-
iarities with mine, a sweet-tempered old
female, on which I rode hundreds of
miles. During the midday halt used to
call her up. and she would come and
stand with one foot on each side Of my
chest as I lay on my back and fed her
with bananas. | was never angry with
her but once-when, she tried to kill the
cook.
On one occasion little elephant of our
party, running behind it's mother, leased
her beyond endurance, and she turned
and gave him q shove that landed him
feet uppermost at the bottom of deep
brook. For two hours he screamed like
steam whistle, while we were all en-
gagged in getting him out.
Every night when we reached camp
and the loads were taken off, each driver
would hobble his beast by tying it's front
legs together with rattan, so that it could
only hop with both together. Then a
huge wooden bell was hung around it's
neck and it was turned loose to wander
in the jungle. All night long the faint
dong, dong Of these bells made mourn
full noise around the camp. At daybreak
each driver tracked his elephant by the
sound often going many miles for him.
The elephant is in some respects stu
pid beast, and many of the tales of it's
sagacity are apocryphal, yet it sometimes
does very strangely intelligent things.
Once a. tiny elephant got damned in be-
tween the parts of a heavy tree trunk
that had been cut in two to leave pass
age on the road. It's screams brought
back it's mother from ahead. She inspect
ed it carefully for moment, then walked
a dozen steps backwards and lowereing
her head charged straight at it, shooting
it out as if it had been fired from gun.
Now, she must have seen that although
the little one could not move either way,
there was really room for it to get
through. If there had not been, her
charge would have mashed it as fiat as
pancake.-Henry Norman.
