between strikers, deputies and miners
occurred this morning, women taking
an active part. Ever since the strike

when they were charged by force of
strikers, numbering fully 300, supple

was broken, and the non-union men

were then roughly handled. The
women used clubs and beat the nou-
union men most numerically, but none
were dangerously hurt The deputies
were wonderfully cool and not shot

BONES OF GIANT INDIANS.
PREHISTORIC MAN SEVEN FEET TALL. WHO
ONCE LIVED IN WHAT IS MARYLAND

PREHISTORIC MAN SEVEN FEET TALL WHO
ONCE LIVED IN WHAT IS MARYLAND.
From The Baltimore American
There has just teen received at the Maryland
Academy OF Sciences the skeleton OF an Indian
seven feet tall 1t was discovered near Antetam
ten days ago
There are now skeletons OF three powerful
Indians at the academy who at one time In
their wildness roamed over the State OF Mary
land armed with such instruments as nature
gave them or that their limited skill taught
them to make. Two Of these skeletons belonged
to individuals evidently o. gigantic SIZE, ne ne
vertebrate and bones Of the legs are nearly as
thick as those of horse. and the length OF the
long bones Is exceptional
The skulls are of fine proportions. ample. and
with walls of moderate thickness but OF great
strength and stiffened behind by powerful
occipital ridge. The curves OF the forehead are
moderate and not retreating. suggesting intel
iigence and connected with jaws OF moderate de-
velopment.
Tradition has handed down the statement that
between the years 1870 and 1876 the Catawbas
overlook a band of Delawares at the mouth or
the Antietam, and in the battle that ensued the
Delawares were completely annhiated so the
tradition goes. but according to Dr. Philip X:
Uher president Of the Maryland Academy or
Sciences a careful exa .ninatOn Of this locality
has failed to establish evidences Of battle at
this point. although numerous spear and arrow
heads have been taken from the soil there.
II is of great interest, however to notce that
the locality was at earlier date before the
coming OF the white man occupied as village
Site by Indians of great stature. some OF them

was cleaned from the bones some or winch were

a round hole about two and a half feet wide,
was dug In the ground. in which the skeleton
was buried and carefully packed with clay. In
the grave was also placed pottery a tomahawk

BOYS ARE LEARNING TO COOK.

NOVEL, DEPARTURE IN THE CINCINNATI HIGH
SCHOOL.
From The Cincinnati Enquirer.
ono NJ the most unique features In education
that has ever been tried in this city Is cheap
cooking class for boys which was starteu al
Hughes High School last week. Seven young
gentlemen out OF enrolment OF zen were
present and were initiated by MISS nun: tne

which their sisters nave hitherto C'a I,'t,nn
their almost exclusive prerogatiVe. Judging
from the enthusiasm with which the boys wen.

under the careful guidance OF MISS Hull the
young disciples Of Epicurus VIII soon De coihpc
tent 10 do the family cooking. and thus dispense
with the overbearing Bridgets ana HOnorahS
who have held sway in the culinary regions
The class assembled in the cooking rooms IN
the basement OF Hughes and put on the resula-
ton cap and apron. Then Miss Hull IN Il ten
minute talk proceeded 20 explain to them the
simpler processes of chemistry when are IN
volyed In the art Of cooking. After TINS a lew
practical illustrations were gwen OF the COOKING
which they were to perform n row OF gas
burners was lighted and each boy was furnished
with an egg and ePg poacher Inc resulting
poached eggs would have done credit 10 the care
of any of the swell restaurants or hotels. 70
tatOes were then started roasting and bread
was toasted. The value of bread crumltS ana
their proper preparation and preservation were
then elucdated to the young students, ana
whole jarful was prepared 10y them ana set
aside for the next recitation. The menu thus
prepared was served on table by the boys and
they proceeded To rcgalc themselves on the
fruits OF their work. The skill displayed by the
boys was very noticeable, there being no acci-
dent, save "A burned finger sustained by Master
Shaw i'm his eagerncss To toast a piece OF bread.
Miss Hull expects to make a very good lot OF
cooks from the present raw material, and from
the enthusiasm they displayed the boys are not
a whit less eager to become proficient in the art.

their art Is not stereotyped and whatever they
do Is sure to be somewhat In the nature OF a

Is not this the sign OF creative as distinguished
from cumulative scholastic art? We are passing
through critical period. American art and
architecture are still eclectic with fewer men
working out ideas OF their own than there are
men rehandling the motives supplied by Euro
pean models Carrere G. Hastings in the

also is individuality and there is hope in the
