New York Hebrews Observe the
American Sunday.
FIFTEEN THOUSAND OUT
GRIEVANCES PUT FORTH BY THE
WORKING MEN.
Contractors AiIese That Work Is
Slack, and Deny Any Intention
Not to Live Up to the Agreements
1T VIII Be a Very Pretty Quar-
rel Ere 1t Is Settled.

NEW YORK, July 2S.-The Hebrew
clothing makers of this city today for
the first time observed the American Sun
day. They were on a strike The trouble
has been brewing between the tailors and
the contractors for some time and today
eliminated in the general strike of work
ers which was forecastcd yesterday. It
is claimed by the strikers that $1,000 work
ers have responded to the call of the
United Hebrew Order OF Tailors, and not
only this city put Brooklyn, New York
and Brownsville suffered. The number Of
strikers out in this city is 400. The
United Brotherhood of FailorS had hoped
the strike might be aNertcd until Septem-
ber,. when the agreement between the
workers and contractors would expire,
and when it would naturally cease until
a new agreement had been arranged. The
workers assert that the contractors were
unwilling TO wait, and now, when there
is plenty of business they will force u
strike. They claim thar the contractors
broke their terms of the existing agree
ment by refusing to ray their hands on
the day specified, and that better to in
sure the success of their scheme to force
a strike, they locked out several hun
dred of their employees.
The contractors allege that work is slack
and that so few were new orders that
they We're compelled to knock off some
of their men. They deny having any
unwillingnesS to live up to the -erlns of
the agreement and that they Were anxi-
Gus to force the men to the action taken
today. But however as things may be,
one thing is certain, the tailors We're dis
satisfied, and they demonstrated this by
responding. instantly to the call issued b.
the United Brotherhood. the spirit of
which is Mr.. Chopped. who styles. him
self official organizer o. the United Gar
ment Workers of Amerlc;l-
Their wage demand is, for operators,

SO; twisters, 50.
They also insist that all msmbers of
the brotherhood must be reinstated and
that representatives of the Brotherhood
have access to the shops - investigate
grievances and see that their employees
have their due books as proof Of their
membership in the union.

treatment That Must Have Caused
the Blacks to Sigh for the Good
Old Days of Slavery.

ST. LOUIS, July 2S.-A special to the
Republic from Ciudad Porfiro Diaz,
Mexico, says: One hundred and seven
ty negro colonists arrived this morning
from Mexico in a boxcar. Quarantine
Officer Evans has isolated them in
cars under guard, where they will be
held until all danger is past Consul
SPARKS has wired for more rations, as
several hundred more are expected to
arrive Of the 700 who passed through
Torreon last February to make their
fortunes through the aid of a. colonial
ton company. Nearly 400 Of them
starved, half naked and diseased. have
been camped for the last few days
near Torreon. Such a miserable, hun
cry, barefooted lot would be hard to
find. They tell a pitiful story of de-
ception. They were assured the place
was on a railroad, a good house to
live in, five acres of land to cultivate,
their own vegetables. etc. plenty of
game, and all were given a blank CON
tract which was to guaran-
tee them half crop of
sixty acres which each was to take
care Of. so in cotton and 10 in corn.
After their arrival they vainly tried to
get the contracts signed, but 1t seems
the contracts were never signed or full
adObies. The water was vile and
killed a great many with a species of
malaria and swelling of the limbs. The
death rate averaged five a week and
they claim nearly hundred died
there, owing to the water and lack
Of medicine and medical attention.
Finally the negroes were told that the
company said they Ghe negroes had
no interest in the crop, but that the
company would pay them so cents a
day. This was done for about two
| weeks, when it was cut to 81 cents a
| day. If they were sick they received
nothing, and if what they say is true
many are crying for something to eat.
The manager about this time, it is al
legged, told them the company had
broken its contract and he could do
nothing, and advised them to git 81

work but for the unfortunate appear

all doing well and are expected to re-

PRUNING FRUIT TREES.

The small number of well-pruned
and trained orchards to be found in a
farming community is surprising, al
most painful, to see, writes r. E.
Comet, in Form, Field and Fireside.
Having been raised in a large apple
and peach orchard, naturally 1 very
much admire a beautiful fruit tree.
The common method of going into
an orchard with an ak in one hand
and a saw in the other, and then cut
ting right and left, almost any way,
lust so as to get done by dinner time,
will never make a beautiful orchard.
[ have trimmed all day, many time,
and never had any use for anything
larger than the pruning shears, but
it is needless to say that that orchard
had been trimmed every year OF its
! existence.
For trimming apple trees, first cut
off all the water sprouts, unless the
tree be too open, when one or two
may be left; then all dead limbs, and
if any two rub, cut the poorest one
out, or tie it away if it can be done
without injury to the tree. Then, II
there is a limb inclined to run out
too far, clip the ends back little,
and it will thicken up remarkably.
In a windy country we endeavor to
head our trees out, about two feet
from the ground, and train them to
close, compact top, about pear shaped.
A small step ladder is handy for this.
Too much canot be said about keep
ing a tree from sprangling all out of
shape. 1 have seen my fainter work
hard for half a day 10 get two trees
into proper shape, and cords and
stakes are~an everyday requisite dur
| ing trimming time. 1t is best to put
a piece of old carpet next the limb
where a cord is used, to protect the
bark from being bruised.
For peach tree, we trim wnen the
buds begin to show pink, and use
the same method to obtain shapely
tree. If the bloom is heavy, clip back
about half of each of the last years
growths, and your fruit Lill be q
great deal larger and finer. and there
will be almost, if not quite, as many
bushels. This method may be used
| to some extent with apple trees also
/ but they do not, as a rule, bloom q
great deal more than they can bear

THE WHEEL,

NEW YORK, July 2S.-Pedestrians
on Broadway, near Fourteenth street.
last night saw a bicycle rider faint
and fall off his wheel Just behind
him came a dusty and traveIstained
rider on an old wheel. 1t was George
w. Wolfe, who had ridden from Chi
cago since $40 p. M Monday. The
young man who tainted had been
plotting him from the city limits into
town but he could not stand the pace
Wolfe arrived at the city hall at 715
p. m, having covered the distance from
Chicago in six days, three hours and
five minutes. He had broken the re-
cord, it is said, just forty-fve minutes.
The rider looked remarkably fresh
after so long a ride. Wolfe said he
struck heavy rain storm at Waterloo,
Ind, which lasted six hours. AT Bow
ling Green he was sent in the wrong
direction and had to ride thirty miles
in the sand, losing fully six hours.
Continuing, Wolfe said: 'T had start
ed in to beat the record ten hours and
should have done it but for the de-
lays encountered. / arrived at Cleve-
land twelve hours late but rode from
there to Buffalo, 220 miles in
twenty-five and One-half hours and
left the latter city only five hours be-
hind. I reached Albany $50 miles fur
Their on, three hours ahead of time
and reached Poughkeepsie ten hours
ahead of the record. Then I ran
into an awful rain storm. 1 had to
walk to Tarrytown, reaching there at
Sunday morning. After one hours
rest I started fo- New York. I was
almost asleep on the wheel, having had
no rest for two nights to speak of,
when I met young man out for a.
morning spin. He volunteered to pace
me, but I'm afraid it was too hot for
him, for he tainted, as you know. I
did not ask his name

Associate of Holmes May Add An
other Murder to the Many.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, July 2S.-It is
probable that John c. Allen, alias
John II. Caldwell, the associate of
Insurance Swindler H. H. Holmes,
who is serving a 15-year sentence in
me penitentiary here for horse steal
ing. may be the means of fixing upon
Holmes the responsibility for an
other murder. Sheriff McRae, of
Fort Worth, Texas. who was in this
civ last week. had a long talk with
Allen and during the conversation
the disappearance last year Of Mil
ford Cole. wealthy Baltimorean,
was mentioned. Cole came here a
wear ago last spring as the repre-
sentative of a Baltimore lumber
syndicate He at once became promi-
nent in lumber circles, buying a saw
mill near Beebe, north of here on the
Iron Mountain road. and contracted
for the purchase of 25.O0O acres of
timber lands in sous eastern Ar
kansas. In July, 1894, he spent two
weeks at Fort Worth, Texas. becom-
ing well acquainted with Holmes who
tried to interest him in some business
enterprises. These facts Cole men
toned to friends on his return to
Little Rock About three weeks
afterwards he was summoned to Chi
cago by telegram from Holmes, so
the story goes, and has not been seen
or heard from since. Both Allen and
Sheriff McRae. it is said, recalled
Coles association with Holmes at
Fort Worth last year and Coles sub
seouent disappearance.

KERnsENE EMuLsIoN.

Never before have I had such good
success in making kerosene emulsion
as this season. The secret seems to lie
in the fact that last summer we made
lot of old-fashionued soft soap from
the fat of a COW that was killed by
our veterinarian. This soap, when
used with kerosene and soft water, has
given an emulsion that remains per-
manent. This soap has a large
amount of free alkah in it, and takes
up rather more kerosene than I have
been accustomed TO use. have
bought many kinds of cheap soap, but
never had any the equal of this for
the purpose.
this year, and those who began to use
remedies early will be most success
full in combating them.

BALL AND CUE

CHICAGO, July 2s.-Jacob Schaefer
may not be factor in the great inter-
national billiard tournament which
the manufacturers intend to arrange
between the experts OF the world. The
injury 10 the famous players arm is
more serious than at first supposed,
and it is now feared that not only
may Schaefer be out Of the tourna-
ment, but that his billiard career may
be ended. Three physicians examined
the broken arm today in a consulta-
ton, which resulted in an operation.
The fracture is within an inch of the
old break of several years ago and
three pieces of bone were taken out.
