A MONSTER STRIKE
Opened by United Garment
Workers at Baltimore.
Over 5000 Members Leave Work,
involving 10000 People.
Both Sides Firm and Both Claim Every In.

Baltimore, Feb. 27.-One OF the largest
labor strikes ever inaugurated in Balti-
more is now on in earnest; 500 members
OF the United Garment Workers organiza-
ton having remained away, from their
work, Thursday.
This general strike Is the result of
smaller strike begun, last week, against
| Schloss Bros. Il Co., and continued this
week, against Strouse Bros
The one demand of the strikers IS for
recognition of their organization in all
| the ma, ufacturing establishments, to the
exclusion of knights of Labor or nom
union workers
The manufacturers refuse to consider
the demand. They say the work for the
spring trade is all done and months rest
on the part Of the workers would not ma
terialiy injure business When President
Rosenthal of the Clothiers Board OF
trade was asked what action the manu-
facturers purposed taking. he replied:
None. We will simply wait Things
have come to such pass that we propose
to have change made, no matter how
long it takes to bring it about. We will
supply the places of the strikers as rapidly
as competentiworkers present themselves
for employment In hiring we will treat
only with individuals as such. This method
of procedure will finally win. / do not
know whether it will be week or q
month"
The strikers spent the larger portion of
the day in organizing. They appointed q
settling committee, consisting of 10
members, and will remain ready to receive
overtures from the manufac turers 1t is
claimed by the strikers that overtures
have already been received from four
firms.
In reply thereto. President Reichers has
formulated an agreement demanding
That none but United Garment workers
be employed by the manufacturers or con-
tractors, and that only apprentices with
union cards be engaged. The agreement
should be in force one year."
A grievance committee Of 80 members
was appointed and will sit continually at
Harugari hall. The executive committees
of the various unions are In session at the
usual places of meeting Both sides are
firm and claim to be confident Of success.
This evening lit was given out at the
strikers headquarters that fully 50UO gar
ment workers were out involving directly
and indirectly 5000 persons. 1t is ex-
pected, that much restitution will follow
the strike. as many of the workers are poor
and have large families.
The clothing manufacturing industry in
Baltimore exceeds in extent that In all
other cities In the United States, excepting
New York and Chicago. There are IS to
40 firms in business here, with yearly out
puts ranging from 81, 500, 600 downward.

Flower Girls I'm Real Life.

The "flower girls of Italy are worse
than the peddlers.
The "girl" is usually plump and
picturesque creature, aged anywhere
from 25 to 40, and possessed of nerve"
even beyond her years. She flourishes
best in Venice and Naples, but there
is no certainty of escaping her any
where.
Suppose the stranger seats himself at
a table in st. Marks square, Venice,
to listen to the evening band concert.
No sooner has he seated himself than
the flower girl advances on him, pre-
coded by the witchery of a beaming
smile.
She will place a flower in his button
hole.
He may prevent her doing so by ris-
ing and offering physical resistance,
but otherwise he must accept the flower.
After the flower has been placed there
he may remove it and offer it to her,
but she will laugh coyly and refuse to
take it back. He may throw it on the
ground. but that would be rude.
Suppose that he accepts the inevi-
table and decides to leave the flower in
his buttonhole. He puts his hand in his
pocket and says to the flower girl, ''How
much?"
ooh, whatta you please"
She knows her business. If he gives
her so centimes or more he knows that
she will regard him an easy victim of
y1yIo hO DIV
only two or three small coppers she will
say. Get ees not much" and politely
revile him. The unprotected man has
little chance against the large and de-
termined flower girl.

THE GODDESS OF THIEVES.
Steal ing Is an Hereditary and Kecog
nized PROTEST. N in the Orient.

Steal ing Is an Hereditary and kecog
nized Protest. n in the Orient.
The Indian thief is much more ar
tistic marauder than his western broth
er in iniquity, says correspondent in
the Journal of the Asiatic Society of
Bengal. For one thing, thieving is an
hereditary profession. For another
thing the Indian robber is according to
his lights above all things pious rob-
Der; thus he would not dream of set
ting out upon an expedition without
paying homage and offering sacrifices
to the deities who watch over his well
fare. 1t is a melancholy thing to learn,
however, that female deity is invari-
ably found to be the tutelary patroness
of Indian robbers and thieves. In north
ern India the robbers goddess is known
variously as Deva, Kali, or Mata. 1t is
a cardinal article of faith with the Ben
gal robber that he enjoys the special
protection Of this deity, and as mat
ter of gratitude rather than of propitia-
ton he generally gives her part of the
booty on his return from successful
foray. In the earlier days the ante-ex-
peditionary worship often took the form
of human sacrifice, but this atrocity has
yielded to the civilizing influences of
time. In the Punjab the sacrifice OF
sheep or goats was quite the customary
preliminary to dacoity of the most
bloodthirsty kind, and at stated inter-
walls individual worship was combined
into a regular fair. One of these fairs
still survives at Mansa Devi, in the
Ambala district, where last year there
was a gathering of some 10000 people,
though these are to-day by no means to
be classed as thieves.

TOO MUCH MEDICINE.
It Is Said That Business Women In
dulge in It Too Much.

1t is a well-known fact that about so
per rent of women are more or less sub
iect to headache, says DR.. Whitmyer in
the New York World. In the case OF the
young woman who is enjoyed in an
office she arises quite late, has but few
minutes to dress eat, or rather bolt,
a so-called breakfast, and catch car
in order to reach her place of employ
ment on time. At about IL O'Clock she
is taken with a severe headache. She
calls the office boy and sends him to
the nearest drug store for a dose OF
"bromo" this or "bromo" that-prepa-
rations which are, as rule, very good
when used in cases where they are in
dicated, such as nervous headache, re-
sulting from mental Overwork. But
they are not indicated in the case of the
young woman who has absolutely no
respect for her digestive apparatus, and
who pays no attention whatever to the
ordinary requirements of nature. Much
of her trouble could be avoided if she
would get up little earlier, take a
gobletful of hot water an hour before
breakfast, avoid haste in eating, mas
ticate her food properly, and attend to
the demands of nature with some de-
gree of regularity. If her home is not
to far away she should walk to and from
her place of employment. She may in
this way escape common cause OF
headache-the vitiated and frequently
malodorous atmosphere of a crowded
car.
Instead of sending the office boy out
for lunch consisting of a sandwich,
and apple, and a glass of milk, she
should go out herself, take brisk walk
of few blocks, and eat light lunch.
She will find this method far more bene-
fetal than sitting in the poisoned at
mosphere of the office gossiping with
one or more young women who are en-
ployed in the same building.

A Gamblers Conversion.

An interesting incident related by
Mr. Crosskey, Christian worker in
England, is reported by the Christian
Herald:
heard of a young fellow who was in
the habit of betting; he felt that he was
on the way to destruction, but the
gambling passion was too strong within
him to be resisted. He told his Sunday
school teacher that he had given up
many bad habits, but that from this
one he did not feel able to escape.
''Were you always with me- he said,
II might manage it,
81 cannot always be with you," re-
piled the teacher; "but when and where
do you gambler"
ooh, every day at dinner hour; go
down to the saloon at o'clock" was
the answer.
"Well, will tell you what will do, -
said the teacher. every day as the
clock strikes 1, will pray for YOU
The young fellow was conquered. He
came after a day or two, and said, 81
shall bet no more. Yesterday wanted
to go to the saloon, and I could not. l
thought what shame it was that you
should be praying for me and that l
should be gambling at the saloon, and
I could not do it,
Thus by the patient, loving persist
ence in prayer of a good man, sinner
was brought into the gospel fold. ''The
effectual fervent prayer of a righteous
man availeth much"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube When this tube gets
infamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
coalition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
BY catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
