The Detroit Free Press observes |:
But few years ago the people of the
West were using corn for fuel because
they could not eat, feed or sell the
surplus they had on hand. AT the
same time there was shortage of the
crop in the South and a corresponding
shortage of the bread supply. Now
the conditions are changed. In many
parts of the West, Nebraska in parti-
cular, the farmers are on the verge of
starvation while there is superabund-
snce of corn in the South which the
warmhearted people there are anxious

beyond the Mississippi. Many of the
latter are in deplorable condition
and adequate steps for their relief
should be promptly taken.

Mayor Schieren of Brooklyn, y. Y, has
taken hold of the strike with new determine
tion. Public Indignation and repeated dis
turbances, in spite of police and militia, and
public discomfort due to the failure of the
companies to restore the operation Of their

stirred him to action. He sent for the strike
leaders and also for the railroad presidents,
and held protracted conferences. Nothing.
however was accomplished that brought the
strike any nearer settlement.
Mayor Schieren, after the failure of his at
tempted arbitration, decided that the stua-
tion was becoming grave. He Immediately
held n consultation with Brig. -Gen. McLear.
and gave out the following as an addition
TO his former statement. " Under the
circumstances, il has become necessary
TO secure additional protection in
order to operate more of the sur
face lines. The mayor has since
conferred with Gen. McLeer, and has made a
request on the Governor for additional
troops. These will doubtless lie on duty
promptly. 1t is a time when the gathering
of people on the streets is to be avoided. and
the police have been ordered and the militia
requested to prevent any crowds from gath
ering and to keep lOiterers of the streets.

the New York Post. The Engineering

which leads it to think that Leadville

than it ever was silver-mining camp.
IT, is estimated that the Leadville yield
for the year will be 49, 900, 600. The
extraordinary showing made in the
Little Johnny gold property has been
supplemented by "a most important
discovery of gold ore in the Triumph
shaft on 6 claim adjoining the Little
johnny on the south" The discovery
has greatly stimulated exploration IN
that quarter. The richness OF the
south African field has caused q tre'

The announcement Of the second ballot
was made amid terrible din. The Brisson-

to read the figures. The presidents voice was
quite inaudiblc and his hands trembled vio-
lently. 1t was five minutes after he spoke be-
fore all members of the Assembly knew the
result The figures generally known were
then only approximate, but they sul1iced to
show that Faure was the new president Of
France. The scene was absolutely devoid Of

4 Mass OF Old Money.

Representative Woomer, of Penn
sylvania, who, when at home in
Lebanon, conducts the affairs of the
Peoples National Bank, received a
strange deposit when in the bank
few days ago. Speaking of it to
Washington Post reporter he said:
"The deposit was made by the ex-
ecutors of the estate of an old woman,
Mrs. Moses Light, who died little
while ago. Mrs. Light kept truck
farm and apparently had little trust
in banks as place for the safe-keep-
ing of money. At any rate her ex.
ecutors found $4,000 in the house after
she died. They brought it to the
bank, and on dumping it on the
counter, displayed about as conglom-
crate mass as ever banker saw.
"Forty-seven dollars consisted of
fractional currency of all denomina-
tions from the thrse-cent piece to the
fifty-cent piece. There were 100 old
pennies, some o. very early dates.
There were gold and silver pieces of
all denominations, and some like this
half dollar which I took from the pile,
of the year 1919. Thirteen dollars
consisted OF old State bank notes is
sued by the Lebanon State Bank years
ago."
''Were they good for anything?"
ooh, yes, for their face value.
There was o large number of very
early greenbacks, and some one-year
erest-bearing five per cent. cur
rency notes issued during the war. I
forgot to say that some of the frac-
tional currency was in sheets which
hadn't been cut. We put the frac-
tional currency on the counter for
those of our depositors who wanted
souvenirs. In two hours 1t was all

Starving Workmen at Montreal Appear

Three thousand unemployed workingmen

Il. 0umet, who acted as spokesman, re-

told work would soon be provided for them
bv the city. William H. Darlington, prom.
inent labor leader, said that many cases OF
death by actual starvation had been brought
to his personal knowledge. The mayor eX,

TROOPS CALLED OUT.
Point of Last Resorti in the Now Serious
Brooklyn, ". ". Strike.

Brooklyn N Y, big trolley strike sudden
ly and Unexpectedly has developed very
serious aspects. Both sides Of the contro-
versy showed their hands, and it was at once
clearly seen that the game was Of far greater
import than was supposed. The upshot of it
was that on the demand of two Of the railroad
companies for the protection OF militia,
Sheriff Buttling made demand upon
Brig. Gen. McLeer of the I'd brigade Of
Brooklyn for 100 troops, and Gen. McLeer, in
accordance with a law of 1898 granting him
certain powers in case Of emergency, ordered
out the 23d regiment OF the state national
guard.

REAL FIGHT TO COME.
Prospect of a Prolonged Contest now
in Haverhill.

The real tug of war in the conflict between
the shoe interests at Haverhill, Mass, is now
approaching, From present indications the
strike, among the big factories at least, has
reached its limit, and the struggle will now
come on the part of the manu- actuters to llll
their shops with nOn-union help, and with
the strikers to prevent them from doing this.
The most serious question, however, is
whether the unions can take care of the men
and women who are out well enough to hold
them. The leaders declare that they can.
Shops crew meetings are held every day,
and they are apparently as enthusiastic as
ever. 1t is not to be supposed that all who
came out have to be supported now by
the union. The strike and consequent
cessation of work in these big factories
have not sent all the work out of town, by
any means, but much of it has simply been
transferred to other factories. Help is in
demand all through the shoe district, and
should the strike be settled, the best work.
men and women in all departments could not
be secured by their former employers.

TURNED BACK.
Young OTleanist Pretender Not AL
lowed to Remain in France.

Turned back from his native land. The
Orlegnist pretender seized 10y detectives and
forced to return to England! This is the
latest rumor concerning the political crisis in
France. II is impossible II settle its truth or
ialsity aS all mouths are closed in the myste-
riouS Office on the Rue de Jerusalem. II has
been well known that the Due dOrleans was
waiting at Dover Eng. fora signal from his up
holders. But that he would dare to cross the
Channel in the face of Faure's election and
the apparent stability of the Republic was
not expected.
Nevertheless, he seems to have done so. No
details are at hand, but il is said that the
pretendei succeeded in eluding the French
spies at Dover and Calais and actually got as
far ~ Amiens There he was recognized and
seized. There was no open arrest, but the
Duke, under escort of detectives, was taken
back to Calais and there put on the boat.
His attempt to go to Paris is regarded as
spectacular. There is no hope OF this access
sion. The republic Is in 10 danger.

that they would see that the prisoners had a
fair trial. With one or two exceptions, the
