A FOOLISH STRIKE.
Three Silk Mills Close on Account of Ar
bitrary Demands.

bitrary Demands.
New York, April 3.-The employees of
three silk mills in West Hoboke1, Home
steadss and Hackensack, owned by the
Givernaud Bros, went out on strike
this morning. One thousand persons
went out and the mills were compelled to
shut down. Givernaud Bros. own four
mills, those where the workers went out,
and one at Allentown, Pa.
Thirty delegates representing employees
of all the mills, met this morning and de-
cided to ask for an increase of. thirty per
cent. in wages. A committee called on
the manager and put their case before
him.
He informed the delegates that Gvern-
aud Bros. would consent to give an in
crease in wages from 10 to 80 per cent.
The offer was refused, the employees de-
manding an increase of 80 per cent. all
around.
The manager said that tlls demand
could not be granted. This vas made
known to the STRIKERS, and every employe
in the mills struck.

Cnavoidabiy Prevented.

Capt. Driss was, ike ali seanien, Q
strict disciplinarian and his crew re-
spected him beyond measure. Not one
OF them would have dreamed of inter
preting a command otherwise than &C
cording to the strict letter of the law,
things must be done "shipshspc" under
his rule.
One day while the ship was ia Q
certain small port the captain gave q
dinner to some town acquaintance.
and as the resources of the ship were
not great some of the sailors were de.
puted to wait on the table TO reinforce
the insufficient number Of stewards.
As these men were not used GO such
work each n was told exactly what
service would fail to his share.
The hour came and the dinner went
merTily on. Presently, however, one OF
the ladies wanted a piece Of bread.
There was non very near her. and the
finely disciplined stewards seemed to be
quite obliyious TO her need. She turned
her head and spoke very softly 10 the
maj at her elbow.
Bread, please. she said.
He looked regreffully at the bread
and then at her. 1t was evident thai
he would fain have helped her if it had

"Blun'' from "A New Highlander That
Rubbed Out an Old Score.

The game of bluff" in honest hands

last week through the first bit Of bluff
he had ever tried in his life.
He hailed from New England aud g

ing a trip TO Mamaroueck on the New

Promised by the conductor that he
should be warned when nearing the
station, he realized nothing until he had
reached Stamford, when the forgetful
official turned up TO inform him regret
fully that he vas a dozen miles beyond
his destination.
"And shall | have 10 pay my fare
back?" ne inquired.
Don't exactly see how Won could get
back any other way" was the reply.
With a sense of unjust treatment. the
young man purchased a ticket and rode
back in the next train.
He made the same trip again two
days later. Thi. time he knew just
where his station was but falling into a
sound sleep he let himself be carried
past IL unt Dy "a strange coincidence
he found himself again at Stamford.
With an air of injured independence ne
boarded the next train back.
