PITTSBURGH. Pa. Aug. 0.-The strilk.
ing campers at Plum Creek and Turtle

the programme arranged. in couples
100 feet apart. The deputies formed u
line across the road n warned them
back. Each side wanted the other to
take the aggressive, but both sides
were wary aud neither advanced be-
yond "A certain point.
The strikers then returned to camp.
but a few of them managed TO escape
the deputies and got non some OF
the miners in company houses, doing
considerable missionary work.. 1t was
decided to march again to-day, but 1T
is doubtful if they will have any better
success than they had yesterday. The
deputies have been gradually closing
in ON the camps. ana will continue TO
do SO. it is said. until the men will not
be allowed to leave the camp. This
would virtually place them under ar
rest.
The women are doing good mis-
sionary work, although they did not
march as anticipated. They are still
making il rs Portable for the
working miners aud deputies as they
know how. Ii the attempt to pass the
deputies is successful this morning the
omen will join the ranks on Satur-
day.
The farmers from the surrounding
country contributed large donations of
provisions and garden truck u the
campers yesterday.
The reduction in the camp forces
has given a new lease of life to the
food supply, aud it will last for some
days to come in the present state. The
number Of men now in the two camps

discharged from active service are still
in the borhood of the camp.
Some have started across the country
to their homes, and others are en-
~deavoring to secure work in the Irwin
district.
The officials of the New York &
Cleveland Gas Coal Co. are iubilant.
and say that if their men are left alone
the mines will be soon in full opera
ton.
Supt. DE Armitt would not saw how
much the output vas increased yester-
day. but said it was su Dstantial. Eight

4 HefnOus Crime, and IndiEnfties

Among the early Greeks suicide was
uncommon until they became contain
mated by Roman influence, says
writer in Lippincott's. Their religious
teaching, unlike that of their Asiatic
contemporaries, was strongly opposed
to self-destruction. While a pure and
manly nation, they regarded it as a
heinous crime, and laws existed which
heaped indignity upon the body of the
suicide. By an Athenian law the corpse
was not buried until after sunset, and
the hand which had done the decd
presumably the right hand-was cut
off and buried separately, as having
been a traitor to its owner.
The only suicides ever spoken of with
respect, or anything approaching COM

those of a purely patriotic character,
like those of Themistocles and King
Codrus, both of whom were considered
patriots. The latter, when the Her

HE KNEW WHO WORE SOCKS.
Clever Trick Played on a German
General by n Subaltern Officer

"eheFHl Dy n SuDnltern O1ncer.
Under orders existing some time ago,
men in the German army wore at will
either socks or fuszlappen Ga species of
bandage) on their feet. During an in
spection, relates the San Francisco
Argonaut, a certain general asked a
subaltern officer what his men wore on
their feet. He replied that some wore
socks and some lappen-about 20 per
cent. socks. The general further asked
him If he knew what each individual
wore. He was answered promptly in
the affirmative. what" said the gen
eral, pointing to a man in the ranks,
"does this man wear?" Socks was
the response; and on the man taking
off q boot on the generals order, a
sock was found to incase the foot The
same test applied in several cases pro-
duced the same result. The general
was highly impressed with the init
mate knowledge of detail displayed by
the subaltern, but the lad disclosed
subsequently to his brother officers the
simple device which procured him such
kudos. His men, by his order, had all
a sock on one foot and fuszlappen on
the other. They were instructed to
note carefully the answer given by their
officer, and to remove the boot which
would disclose verification of his as
Sertion.

New ORLEANS, La, Sept. 24.-Effi-

face of the attacks of a mob enabled
the department this morning to save
the main portion of the Beauregard
school building. Only the annexes
of the structure were reduced to
ashes.
After the mass meeting of citizens
held last night, riotous crowd gath
cred around the building and openly
threatened that at the first opportu
nifty they would fire it. Throughout
yesterday evening Sister Agnes and
number of Sisters of Charity. to-
gether with help from the hospital,
had been putting the building in or

patients.
There was nc danger of infection
from it and the people in the neigh

however, company of soldiers is
ordered out to protect the building.
1t IS not improbable that second at

The princess having lifted up the fore

and, of course, they will ascend the

The princess answered: "And, if that
