Plasterers and Hod-Carriers Practically
Stop all Building In Chicago.
CHICAGO, March 9.-About 1000 plas-
terers and hod-carriers went on strike
yesterday, following the course of ac-
ton decided upon Saturday night, and
work on practically every building in
the course of construction in the city
has been brought to a standstill. The
only important exception in the down
town district is the new Illinois Trust
and Savings bank, where 200 men are at
work, the contractor having agreed
to sustain the old rate of wages. Before
noon several other contractors were
reported to have sent notice of their
willingness to agree to the terms OF
the strikers. No trouble is anticipated
and no general strike is expected tc
follow. Chairman Herman Lillian of
the strike board had decided to treat
every job separately and the possibility
of calling sympathetic strike of the

LONDON. March 9.-The reply of
Greece to the identical notes of the
powers delivered at Athens last Tues

of the Greek troops from Crete and of
the Greek fleet from Cretan waters was
received here yesterday. 1t is concilia-

aims of the powers. 1t offers to with
draw the Greek fleet from Cretan
waters and, while pointing out that
it is impossible to withdraw the Greek
troops from the island of Crete. it
will offer to place them under the
control of the powers to restore
order. and it meets the statement
about the Cretans really preferring
autonomy by suggesting that the
Cretans be allowed to choose their own

A FRENCH doctor claims that in order
to modify the sounds of the human
voice one has only to inhale the vapors
of certain liquids and essences. Thus,
inhalations of curacao, according to
DR. Sandras, will raise the voice two
notes, the aspiration of absinthe. will
add one high and two low notes.
There are other vapors that are said to
be even more efiicacious. For instance,
there are kerosene and turpentine and
strychnine. The effect of the latter,
according to the doctor. is positively
marvellous. He claims that it raises
the voice no fewer than five
notes.

and also demonstrates how safe a trav-
eler really is on a modern railway
train. For instance, 126 passengers
were killed last year. but the train
mileage was ss4, 200, 900. This means
that on the average passenger can
travel over 5000, 900 miles before being
killed in railway accident; or, to put
it in another way, he can travel back

Francisco as frequently as the trains
will carry him about 30 years before
his fatal accident is due.

Economy is demanded in every branch Of the

periods like the present Of depression in bust
ness and distress among the people. The sever
est economy must be observed in all public ex-
penditureS and extravaganza stopped wher-

future it may be developed. The government
should not be permitted to run behind in

only be met by loans or an increased revenue.
While large annual surplus Of revenue may
invite waste and extravaganza inadequate

Not in Favor of Loans.
The best way for the government to maintain
its credit is to pay as it goes-not by resorting
to loans but by keeping out Of debt-through

settled policy of the government t, pursued from

between the three great arms of the

costumes to make it delight to look
