SHUT DOWN.
Glass Factories Shut Down and Ten
Thousand Men Thrown of
Out of Employment.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 29.-As Il
result OF the action taken at the CON
ference OF the Pittsburg Window
Glass Association and the Western
Window Glass Association in this
city last month, 10000 men will be
thrown out of employment at mid
night tonight by the closing down
of all the window glass factories in
the United States. The agreement
affects all OF the forty-eight factories
of the Western Association and all
OF those included in the Pittsburg
Association, with the exception of
the Chambers at Mekeesport, Pa.
The burden falls the heaviest in the
east where the hundreds of tiremen,
strokers, and coal-handlers and
skilled workmen were unprepared
for the early close-down. 1t is pos
sible that the plants will not open
until November, asstocks are heavy
and Che demand unusually light

Chris Msgee Had to Put Up Baseball Tick
ets For Eighteen Lads.
Chris Magee, who is managing the
Mckinley campaign in Allegheny coun-
ty, had a funny experience at the Expo
sition bali park, Pittsburg, recently.
While buying ticket he was surround
ed by a crowd of gamins begging the
price of admission. One of them ran NJ
to the Pittsburg boss and whispered,
Willie in walk
Willie in a walk" repeated Magee.
ST don't understand you.
Why, it's goin to be Willie in the
first round. "
7 don't quite follow you, answer
ed Magee
'Well, if yer give me so cents to get
into that game, yer can follow me, but
it's Willie in walk -
:" Now, explain yourself fully. and |
will give yea SO cents. " answered Mr..
Magee
Why, Willie Mckinley, Tariff Will
lie, don't yer see? Me pops for him,
SOS me brother and if you put me in
through de gate III git me sisters best
man to be fer him. Now, will yer be
good?"
OF course everybody laughed. The boy
got his 80 cents, but before Magee got
through he had to pay for Is boys who
commenced to yell for Mckinley. Az
the Mckinley boy got through he yelled
to Magee, When yer see Willie, Jest
tell him chat yer saw me. New York

LIKELY TO BE POSTPONED
The Meeting of the Sub. Committee
Having in Charge Arrange.
ments For the National
Democratic Convention.

emcAeo. III. May % Though
several members Of the snb-eommit-
tee of The Democratic National
Committee in charge of the arrange
ments for the National Convention
are in Chicago, it is probable the
absence Of one or two will be made
an exeuse for postponlng he meet
ing of the committee which is callcd
for late this afternoon Among
the well-informed politicians who
study the fight between the silver
and sound money wings OF the
Democratic party, however, Il is the
prevailing opinion that the real
cause OF the delay in holding The
committed meeting Is to give the
members time to consider the
threatened split in all IL phases.
Moreover, the committee may deem
1t expedient to map out a plan for
stemming the tide OF the silyerites
before the convention assemblies, for
the majority Of the members OF the
subcommittee, like the national com
mittee. are sound money men,
though the Democrats in many of
their States, noteably Illinois, Ken
lucky. Indiana and Ohio, have tie
clared for free silver, or are expected
to do SO Mt their approaching State
Conventions. It is this difference ex-
listing in the views of the commit
teemen and he rank and file OF their
constituents That has placed the
committeeman in a quandary and
will cause it's meetings between
now and the date ei the convention
in this city to be watched with
suspicion by the silver element.

Tomorrow Night.

Moscow, May ~ Though the
great spectacular event OF the
coronation fetes has come and gone,
tie festivities continue without any
noticeable abatement in intensity
or enthusiasm As yet the multi.
tude OF visitors in the ancient
capital show no inclination to take
their departure, and it is probable
the great majority will remain
another week for the court balls,
receptions, theatrical presentations
with which the month of glory,
pomp and splendor will be brought
to a close. Their maiesties received
further congratulations from the
foreign ambassadors and deputies
this morning, after which they drove
through the streets, being greeted
everywhere with an indescribable
display OF enthusiasm. Elaborate
preparations are being made today
for the imperial reception which will
be held in the Kremlin Palace to-
morrow night. The reception will
be attended by several Americans,
including Ambassador Breckenridge

A GLOVE CONTEST.
Maher and Slavin Will Fight To-
night for Purse of $4,000.

NEW YORK, May 20 Barring police
interference, the sporting fraternity
OF the metropolis is likely to witness
in the twenty round contest between
Peter Maher and Bob Slayin tonight
one Of the most notable tistic events
that has been brought off in this
country in many months. So great
is the interest taken in the mill that
the Eureka Athletic Club is today
charging the seating capacity OF it's
arena for the accommodation of the
anticipated crowd lit is the opinion
of all who have seen Slavin since his
arrival that he is in the pink OF con-
dition, while the friends OF Maher
assert that the latter is in much finer
s.fettle" than when he faced Fitzsim-
mons in Mexico. According to the
articles OF agreement the winner of
the fight will take $4,000 OF the purse
and the loser 81 900.
Maher formally announces that IL
he quits the ring a victor he viii go
after Fitzsilnmons again, while en-
the other hand Slavin has intimated
his desire To meet Corbett should the
fall to his lot tonight.

Electricity Changing the Climate.

We are now having but two seasons in
our year-summer and winter. The sud
den bursting of the vegetable kingdom
INTO foliage and bloom, especially in the
area covered by the April hot wave, is
wonderful and is PROFESSIONALLY caused
by the air being continually charged
with artificial electricity, and as, under
certain conditions electricity dissipates
humidity by dccomposing, we are having
IN some sections prolonged drought. -

BICYCLES FREE
To Boys and Girls Who Will Get
Subscribers for the Daily and
Semi Weekly Graphic.

The school season has abOnt
closed, and books will soon be dis
placed in the mind OF every boy and
girl by sports and amusements.
There is nothing so popular at the
present day MS bicycles. and nothing
SO coveted by the Young OF
both sexes. Most children, however,
cannot afford the luxury OF n wheel
owing to their great cost. In order,
therefore, to give everyone an oppor-
tunity OF securing a good bicycle the
GRAPHIC has decided to make the
following offers:
To every boy or girl who secures
fifty subscribers to the Daily
GRAPHIC for a period OF two months
or fifty subscribers to the Semi
Weekly GRAPHIC fer a period OF one
year each, will be given II $40 De
fance bicycle
70 every person securing sixty
two-month subscribers to the Daily
or sixty yearly subscribers to the
Semi-Weekly GRAPHIC will be given
a $50 Defiance bicycle
TO every person securing seventy
two-month subscribers to the Daily
or seventy yearly subscribers to the
Semi-Weekiy GRAPHIC viii be given
u $50 Defiance bicycle.
TO every person securing eighty
five two-month subscribers to the
Daily or eighty-fve yearly subserib-
ers to the Semi Weekly GRAPHIC will
be given q $75 Defiance bicycle.
1t is not necessary that the whole
number be made up of subscribers TO
the same paper, but it may be com
posed OF part Daily and part Semi
Weekly subscriptions.
The above Offers apply only to
new subscribers or to parties taking
neither the Daily nor Semi-Weekly
GRAPHIC at the present time-May
"a. The subscription price-65 cents
month for the Daily and $l.50 a
year for the Semi Weekly-must
accompany every name, else credit
will not be given the solicitor. In
the event three or four month
subscriptions to the Daily are secured,
corresponding decrease in the
number required will be allowed,
but no person will be permitted to
subscribe for a longer period than
four months to the Daily or one
year to the Semi-Weekly. One
canvasser can transfer his list to the
credit Of another should he foil to
get the required number to get a
bicycle.
Defiance bicycles are manufactured
and guaranteed by the Monarch
Cycle Mfg Co, OF Chicago, and are
made of the same material used in
500 wheels. They are, therefore,
far superior to most cheap bicycles.
The $40 and $50 wheels are for boys
and girls and the $50 and $40 wheels
for adults. Catalogues containing a
detailed description OF each machine
and blanks for canvassing may be
had free at the GRAPHIC office.
Now is the chance for Industrious
boys and girls to get bicycles for
little effort, and the sooner they get
to work the easier will it be to
secure the required number of sub
scribers. Who Will be the first one
to get wheel?

Ex- Bandit james to BE Special Guard
For Express Trains.

Frank James as a guard on express
trains carrying large amounts of money
or yaluables is one Of the novelties the
express people are now arranging. Ne
gotiations have been III progress now
for several weeks, but the possibilities
are that they viii be closed up within a
few days. The effect CT James name, in
view Of his former proves in robbing
trains himself, IS what the express COM
panies are aiming after They do not
know they say, that he could stop de-
termined robber any more than one Of
their own messengers but they think
the ordinary train r0bber would hesi-
tate to tackle him. James is willing to
accept the position and guarantees that
no train i'll his charge will be robbed
except over his dead body, with but one
single provision, and that is that the
express people put up a bond Of $50 600,
this amount 10 go 70 his widow in case
ef his death. The express people are in-
clined to yield to this, though there is
some opposition James has been firm
in standing out for it and will not go
out on the road unless the bond is fixed
mp to his satisfaction Since he became
a respectable and law abiding citizen he
has taken very good care of his family,
and he does not propose to commence
doing anything else now. When the ne
gotiations were first begun. he was ask
ed if he could shoot with both hands.
Well, he replied, / used to be
that l could, and guess 1 have not for
gotten how yet.
James has been working steadily for
some time, but has never been able to
make an oXorbitant salary, and for that
reason would be willing to take the risk
of this venture. As one Of his friends
says: 1T is not as much risk as he has
taken on hundreds eff occasions before
when out ON one Of his raids. The only
difference would be that in this he
would have the law on his side. st.

FLIES HALF A MILE.
Professor Langley's Machine Works Better
Than Ever Before.


Than Ever Before.
Professor Langley of the Smithsonian
institution is highly gratified over the
progress he is making toward solving
the problem Of the flying machine. Last
Wednesday he and his assistants took
their model down the Potomac to a
quiet bay where they have hitherto con
Quoted their experiments. The machine
was given two trials.
AT the first it flew |, 600 feet and was
in the air : minutes; at the second it
flew over half a mile.
The model is about 4 feet long with
six foot wing expansion. Professor
Langley believes he is now nearly ready
to build a practical flying machine large
enough to carry q crew Of three and to
make an extended flight.
1t is estimated that the construction
should not be undertaken with less than
a fund Of 500, coo If Professor Lang
ley had sufficient fund, he believes he
could build his large machine in two
years, several months Of which would be
exhausted in experimental work, as ev-
cry step would have to be thoroughly
tested
If Professor Langley should inform
congress that he had solved the problem
and wanted money to build a machine,
he might get it. The principal difficulty
yet to be disposed of is to contrive a
plan by which large flying machine
can be made to alight without shock to
its delicate and complicated machinery.
