STRIKING TAlIORS.
Twenty Thousand Estimated to Be Idle at
Men


New York.
New YORK, July 27.-An all-day
meeting was held by the striking tail
ors of this city in Walhalla hall yes
terday. Addresses were made by a
number of leaders and the situation
was generally discussed The sub
stance of the remarks made by the
various speakers was to the effect that
no compromise with the contractors
should be made; that the strikers must
stand firm and accept nothing but
victory. The fact that some of
the contractors who had in the
past combatted the tailors have now
joined hands with them is regarded by
the leaders as significant and is taken
as an omen of success for the tailors in
their conflict for the entire abolition of
the sweat shop system, the increase of
the weekly scale of wages and for a
fixed weekly toll standard of SO hours.
1t is estimated that fully 20, 600 hands
are now idle on account of the strike
in this city and vicinity.

both the silver and populist committee
to waive the usual formal notification,
and on August II hold a ratification

HOW WESLEY TAUGHT.

John Wesley was DESTROYS
at one time Of teaching his
scholars that vanity was a silly
thing to possess. He tried an
odd plan to do it. Among the
Sunday school boys were many
whose parents were too poor
TO provide them with shoes,
and SO they had to come to
school with bare feet.
The boys who wore shoes
tainted the Boys whose feet
were bare, telling them their
parents we're too mean to buy
them shoes for Sunday school,
where shoes ought TO be worn.
Wesley heard about it, and
when Sunday school next as
sembled the scholars were as
tonished to see the minister
appear himself without shoes
or stockings. He didn't notice
the sensation he created, but
went right on with the lesson
as though nothing out Of the
common was happening. The
boys who wore shoes did not
dare dc any more taunting at
ter that.-Ex.
