New York World, November 20, 1892:
The fruits Of the Democratic victory
should be, and We believe will be, some
thing more substantial and important
than possession OF the petty Offices"
When a $lOO,OOO,OOO loan has been
secretly sold at 1O41s, and a subsequent
$l0O,OOO,0OO loan has been openly sold at
an average price Of Ill, it certainly does
seem that "the fruits Of the Democratic
victory" have been "%Something more
substantial and important than posses
sion OF the petty Offices" The World
evidently knew it's party leaders.

About Eight Hundred Clothing Cutters
Out At Chicago.
CHICAGO, Feb. 2l.-Following the
action taken at the meeting Of the
Clothing Cutters and Trimmers' asso.
citation about 400 or 500 cutters have
quit work and the strike may be said
to be fully on. Probably . hundred
are still at work, but those, too, are ex-
pected to go out during the day. The
strike, if continued any length Of time,
and it promises to be long and bitterly
contested, will be far reaching in its
effects, as in round numbers, about
10, 900 or $1,000 people will
be thrown out Of employment.
These are tho clothing workers,
sewers. ETC., mostly inmates Of Sweat
houses" Most Of these will not, &C.
cording to the manufacturers, be af-
fected for about two weeks. as enough
material has been put out to keep them
busily employed for that length Of time.
But if the strike is prolonged that long.
then these, too, will be thrown out of
work. and ON this class, mostly women
and children. working far small wages,
will the greatest hardship fall.
The issue seems to be practically on
whether the cutters shall work on the
piece system. Cutters are paid a mini
mum salary of $40 a week for q maxi

the manufacturers emphatically OBJ

pay the minimum salary of so. but
that the cutters should not be limited

An Intercollegiate Cannon.

This recent invention is dependent for
its action upon the principle of the force
of attraction and repulsion as caused by
magnetism. A brass tube, 5 feet long,
az inches in diameter and inch bore,
was wrapped with insulated wire along
its entire length, the current flowing
through different sections of the wind
ings in such manner as to cause the
bullets to become temporary magnets,
which were attracted by the magnetic
lines of force ahead of them and repealed
by those behind them, thus giving the
projectiles an increasing impetus as they
pass along the gun. The bullets are
thrown forward in much the same man
ner as the armature of an electric motor
is turned on its axis. The cannon is
light, inexpensive, and its capacity for
throwing projectiles depends on the ra-
pidity of loading the same. 1t is esti-
mated that a five foot gun, requiring
500 volts and 100 amperes, will throw a
one pound ball 1000 feet, with strik-
ing velocity of 100 pounds Boston

Her father was merchant bold
Who DER the wild Biscayl water
Still brought back the good red gold
To richly dover his only daughter.
Radiant she as rose on tree;
Bit though full many a gallant sought

No, no, no! on all their woe
Frowned back the merchants laug liter.
Until effulgent from the fight
That shook the shores from France to

Shone upon her patriot sight
The kingliest Of our sea commanders,
Looked her through, and from her view
Vanished smiling on the morrow.

Forsook for signing sorrow.

RIDE A RAMBLER,
RIDE A WINNER.

How do we know? Well,
look at the records at the track
on the 9th of June. 3 firsts
5 seconds and 3 thirds for the
Rambler. 3 frsts, no seconds
and | third for the Cleveland.
l first, 3 seconds, no thirds
for the Tribune.
Then how about the great
Relay Race on the 4th of July.
You read in "The Star" that
the 5 miles was made in 10
minutes and % seconds by a
Tribune, but we are inclined
to think this is an error. TO
be sure this time was made by
a Tribune rider, but to do it
he had to have a Rambler,
and every one knows that Geo.
Martin, who holds the record
for fastest time in the Relay
Race, rode a Rambler Wheel
and thus got there. The wheels
we handle did not get their
reputation in a day, but after
a wear Of hard work on the
part of the makers, and now
the average racing man knows
Just about what to get fer
speed and wear. This is the
reason that out of the l5
wheels ridden in the Relay
Race 9 came from us.
Ladies Wheels for 1896 are
pretty wheels, and Judging
from the way ours sell we are
sure that the ladies are fast
finding it out.
Don't forget the price, 500
on easy terms, and cheaper for
CASH. This is for 1896

anteed, don't pay ten or fifteen

AN ELEPHANTS TENDER CARE.

When Left to Watch Children He VIII
Faithfully Protect Them.
The whole family of the mahout be-
come, as it were, parasites to the ele-
plant, by whom they earn their living
have seen baby placed by its mother
Systematically under the elephants care
and within reach of it's trunk, while the
mother went to fetch water or to get
wood or material to cook the family
dinner. No jackal or wolf would be
likely to pick up and carry off baby
who was thus confided to the care of an
elephant, but most people who have lived
q life in the jungle know how very pos
sible it is for jackal or wolf to carry
off baby when lying in hut when the
mothers back is turned.
The children thus brought up in the
companionship of an elephant become
familiar with him and take all kinds of
liberties with him, which the elephant
seems to endure on the principle that it
does not hurt him, while it amuses the
child. You see little naked black child
about feet high standing on the ele-
plants bare back and taking it down to
the water to battle, shouting all the time
in the most unbecoming terms of native
abusive language.
On arriving at the water the elephant,
ostensibly in obedience to the child s
command, lies down and enjoys him
self, just leaving part of his body, like
small island above the water, on
which the small child stands and yells
and yells all the more if he has several
companions of his own age, also in
charge of their elephants, all wallowing
in the water around him. If the child
slips off his island, the elephant S trunk
promptly replaces him in safety. The
little urchins as they grow up become
first mates to mahouts and eventually
arrive at the dignity Of being mahouts
themselves. World Herald.
