MEN QUIT.
Big strike Among workmen at the I iInoii
steel Works.


Chicago. May S.-The strike which
was begun yesterday at the Illinois
Steel company's works in South Chicago
by 100 yardmen quitting work. spread
this morning and 200 men in the blast
furnace department went out.
Two furnaces have already shut down
and the strikers claim that the other
-Four will suspend by night. The men
left their work quietly in little squads
and there have been no violent demon.
STATIONS. The strikers say they are not
receiving living wages. They assert
thai two years ago they received s2.l0
for the same work which now only
pays them SLIGO. 1t is further claimed by
the blast furnace men that enough
hands are not employed to divide the
work fairly. The 100 yardmen who quit
work demanded a raise from 81 to
$l.25 per day. The company offered 81 10,
but the men declined II and quit work.
1t Is though this offer OF a raise made to
the yardmen inspired other departments
to hope for better wages and straight
way the switchmen asked that their
wages be raised from $3.50 20 81 per
day. This the company refused. II Is
believed that should the switchmen and
oremen quit york the company would
be compelled to shut down the entire
works. throwing out Of employment be-
tween 1.soo and 1000 men.

ART OF FRYING FISH.
Tho Jewish Method Il Probably tn.
Hest After All.


The art OF frying fish In olive oil was
Impaired to western nations by the
Jews. They found In the Italians and
French receptive pupils; but In the Eng
fish they encountered an obstinate allie
glance to lard. which has never wav-
cred In favor of any other medium. As
our culinary traditions are derived
largely from the English. lard or the
fat of salt pork for frying Is almost
universally used In the United States.
The superior merit OF oil I'm this form
OF coo king Is found In It's limpidity and
freedom from foreign matters. More
over. the results obtained are more GER
tain, and yet even American women,
who I've near waters. salt or fresh,
where fish abound. invariably employ
salt por k I'm frying. None can excel them
I'm the use of this medium. particularly
those o. the south side of Long Island.
Although when they fry cells they never
coat IN, n with bread crumbs or -four,
the fish merge from the pan faky and
crisp AMI Of even tint. Should any one
fancy this asy Of accomplishment, he
or she haH only to attempt IL to find how
likely Is total failure. The Jews excel in
frying ne much on account of the mi
mute attertion which they give to the
preparation of the fish before they

THE NORFOLK AND WEs1ERNa
Circular ofthe London Reorgan-
ization Committee.
a Plan of Reorganization Will DO Sub
United For the Approval OF the
Security Holders az Soon as the Affairs
of the Company Are In Settled Condi-
tion-Coni Strike Cause of Delay.

New YORK. August 5.-The London
reorganization committee Of the Norfolk
and Western railroad have issued q Cir
cular to the English security holders, In
which they say: The question Of the re.
organization OF the property on safe
and permanent basis has been receiving
the earnest attention of the company,
and the negotiations with the New
York and Amsterdam committees, az
we'll as with representatives of other
large foreign interests, justify the belief
that plan of reorganiz ,tion can be
submitted for the approval of security
holders as soon as t0e affairs of the
company are in sufficiently settled
condition.
In this connection the company wish
to call your attention to the fact that
they have been confronted By the unex-
pected difficulty of serious strike,
which has, for the time being stopped
all work on the majority Of the coal
properties along the company'a lines
1t Is well-known fac. that coal forms
an important part of the company'e
traffic and the outcome Of this strike
involving as it does, the question Of the
rates which their company will in fu-
ture receive for the carrying Of coal
will therefore have an i'm portant bear
ing on the earning capacity OF the rail-
road.
The strike has now lasted since May1,
but reports from the United States speak
hopefully of an carly, though only
gradual resumption CT work by the
strikers. Until this has actually taken
place, and there has been time to ascer-
tain the probable effect of tho strike on
the company's coal traffic, 1t would be
impossible to TX with sufficient de-
gree OF certainty what would be safe
limit Of future. fixed charges, which must
be The first consideration of any reor-
ganization PLAN
Security holders may rest assured
that no unnecessary delay will take
place In putting a plan of re- ad justment
before them; but, under the circum-
stances above described, the company
consider IL to the interest of the security
holders to postpone the publication OF q
reorganization plan in order to avoid the
danger OF either putting fixed charges
on the property beyond the limit OF
safety, or, on the other hand, imposing
undue sacrifies on holders.
Meanwhile, the receivers have OBJ
tanned authority from the court, under
date OF March 80, 1895, to provide for
the prompt payment of The coupons OF
the general mortgage bonds and old
division lien bonds, the New River
division first mortgage bonds and the
Sciota Valley first mortgage bonds.
