A TRIBUTE TO WOMEN.
Mckinley Visited by Large d legation
of Ladies.

Mckinley visited by a Large ID legation
of Ladies'
Canton, o., July ia delegation of
nearly 1000 women from Cleveland
called on Maj. Mckinley Wednesday
morning. The visit was projected and
carried to its happy and successful
conclusion by women. No man and no
politician had the slightest share in the
conception or execution Of the plan.
The women marched from the rail-
way station to the residence of Mai.
Mckinley. He was standing on the
porch to receive them. A speech of
congratulations was made on the part
Of the visitors by Mrs. Elroy Avery,
of Cleveland. state regent CT the Daugh-
tcrs of the Revolution.
Mrs. Avery's speech was frequently
applauded. A song, written for the oc-
casion, by Mrs. N. Coe Stewart, presi-
dent of Cleveland Sorosis, was sung
with great spirit and pleasing effect.
In response to Mrs. Avery's remarks
Mr.. Mckinley paid a high tribute to
the American woman. Said he: Zone
of the best things of our civilization in
America Is the constant advancement
of woman to higher plane Of labor and
responsibility. The opportunities for
her are greater now than ever before.
This is singularly true here, where
practically every avenue of human en-
deavor is open to her. Her impress is
felt in art, science, literature, song and
government. Our churches, our schools,
our charities, our professions and our
general business interests are more
than ever each year directed by her.
Respect for womankind has become
with us national characteristic, and
what high and manly trait it is! No
nobler or holier! It stamps the true
gentleman. The man who loves wife
and mother and home will respect and
reverence all womankind. He is al
ways the better citizen for such gentle
breeding"

LAWLESS STRIKERS.
Presence of Troops at Cleveland Does Not
Prevent Rioting.

Presence of Troops at Cleveland Does Not
Prevent Rioting.
Cleveland, O., July 1S.-All of Friday
there occurred clashes between the mob
at the Brown hosting works, the police
and militia. The members of the mob
were in vicious mood, and whenever
lone soldier or policeman could be
reached violence was attempted. The
troops from two p. m. were constantly
under arms and had great difficulty in
clearing the street. two charges being
necessary, in which the bayonet was
freely used. But as soon as charge
was ended, The mob, which early in the
afternoon numbered 5000. would flow
back against the line Of steel like a
wave Of the sea, and again begin to boot
and throw stones.
When the workmen had been taken
away and the troops were returning tc
their quarters at the works, another
vengeful rally was made upon Com
pany F. Again charge was made and
cold steel was driven home, so that
many of the rioters had to be helped
away. At this time some one sent in
a general alarm to the police station
and every patrol wago. was soon dash
ing through the streets, causing the
widest rumors among the thousands
on their way home from work. There
was no need of the police reinforce.
ments and the crowd, which had been
swelled to $4,000, began to melt away.
It looked as if the trouble was ended,
but at seven o'clock an assault was
made on a soldier who was passing
along Wilson avenue. He fought des-
perately, as did also a policeman who
hurried to his aid. A squad of troops
came to their rescue, but not before the
officers had been beaten into insensi-
bility. Again the patrol wagons rushed
to the scene and had all they could do
to force passage through the angry
mob. just how many strikers were
hurt is uncertain. Two both severely
stabbed with bayonets, are lying at the
ST. Clair hospital. They are Thomas
McGreavey and Thomas Garety.

A Bicycle Wedding.

A most original marriage ceremony
took place at Harwich, England, re-

Dangerous Pets.

Early last week some gypsies pitched
their camp near the eastern end of the
Franklin avenue bridge, in Minneapo-
lis. Included in their assortment of
curiosities were two mountain lions.
The animals were kept in large cage,
but not properly guarded. Among the
visitors to the camp Sunday was a
young girl named Amelia Larson. The
lions excited her curiosity and she APP
preached close to the cage. AS she
was peering through the bars one of
the lions reached through and caught
her head with one of his paws. The
large claws pierced the flesh and the
girl feared to move. Seeing her dan
ger. John King seized her and pulled
her quickly from the lions hold. The
animal tore piece of skin from her
head, but she was otherwise unin-
jured. The police were notified of the
occurrence and warrant was Sc
cured, but the gypsies had taken their
departure during the darkness.

Used to Discharge Arrows and Spears In

In the first place, a throwing stick"

which is employed by various savage
races. such as the Australians, some
South American tribes, and especially
by the Eskimos, among whom its use
is almost universal. Roughly speak
ing, Il is narrow grooved board FOOT
or so long, with one end cut into
handle and the other provided with
stud or spur for the butt of the spear
to rest against. 1t is used thus:
Grasping the handle as he would
sword, the man fits the shaft of the
spear into the groove, with the butt
resting against the stud, steadying the
spear with the finger. Then, extending
his arm and bending back his hand till
the spear lies horizontal, he aims at the
mark and propels the weapon by q
quick forward jerk of the stick. In this
way I have seen the Eskimo boys cast
ing their forke1 javelins at wounded
waterfowl.
There is very large number OF Es-
kimo throwing sticks in the National
museum at Washington, collected from
all the different branches of the race.
These have been carefully studied by
Prof. Otis T. Mason, one of the curators
of the museum, and he has found THAI
these implements differ greatly from
each other in their details, while all are
made on the same general plan. For
instance, one kind will have a plain
handle, while another will have project
ing pegs, or holes or sockets, to give
a firmer hold fer the fingers, and so on.

Increased Activity.

Every day increases the visible activ-
ity at the st. Paul G. A. r. encamp-
ment headquarters. The work is be-
ing pushed merrily along, and every
one is working with might and main to
make the sOth national encampment a
grand success. 1t is believed that Wis
consin alone will send 10000 visitors.
Maps of the city will be printed for the
convenience of the visitors. The maps
measure 3Ox26 inches. On one side ap-
pear the streets and avenues and spe-
cial indication of the street car lines
and the line of the grand parade. On
the other side in larger scale are shown
the center of the city with the line of
parade and the location of all the ho-
tells, manufacturing plants and promi-
nent buildings. Smaller maps, en-
bodying the above features, will also
be on hand. The names of the differ
ent departments will be printed on silk
banners to indicate their different To-
cations in the encampment hall.
A military camp with 500 tents will
be esta blished during that week. The
tents and the water will be free to the
veterans and their families. The camp
will be at the west end of the SelbY ave-

An Abduction.
A few days ago the officers at Sher-
81 lok Il
held prisoner in covered wagon near
the lake north of the railroad, and men
in the neighborhood, becoming sus-
picious that all was not rig hit, Swallowed
the outfit and finally managed to find
out that she was held prisoner by a
miserable brute named Dell Jones, who
owned the rig, and formerly worked
about Sherburne, and that for days she
had been valnly trying to get away.
The police went after the girl and
brought her into town, but were too
simple and slow to catch the man. She
was kept here till the next day and
then was sent to her home near BRITT,
Iowa. She is the daughter of a we'll
to-farmer, is but 16 years old, with a
very pretty face and shapely figure.
The unfortunate creature was heart
broken, and her story excited deep
sympathy and indignation, and at
tempts were made to find Jones with
the intention of giving him coat of
tar and feathers. This is the most aw-
full case of abduction that has ever
shocked the people of this county. and
if the guilty parties can be found they
will disgrace states prison with their
presence for several years.

Quail Increasing.

The effect of the protection afforded
quail in this state by the game and
fish commission and by legislative en-
actment has been to increase the num-
Der of this game bird in very remark
able degree. Three seasons ago the
call of the quail was seldom heard in
adjacent brush or timber. and although
there has been little respect for the
law in some localities, the combined
action of the commission with that of
sportsmen's club throughout the state
has resulted in the increase of the
quail beyond the most sanguine hopes
of its protectors. There is evidence in
this country all about Lake Minneton-
ka, were in the best days of quail shoot
ing in this state, the birds were most
plentiful. that all immediate danger of
extinction for Bob White has become a
a thing of the past.
