AT LOS ANGELES.
The Unemployed Are Numero and
Something Has to Be Done.


Los Angeles, Cal, March S.-The
Merchants and Manufa cturers' associ-
alton of tliis city has taken hold of the
labor problem in earnest. At a meet
ing of the executive committee last
night plans were perfected for the
thorough prosecution of relief work.
Under auspices of the association sub
scription papers are being circulated
to obtain money with which to give i'm
mediate employment to large number
of men in connection with Griffith Park
and the boulevard Excellent results
have thus far been obtained, and there
is every reason to believe that the pro-
position will be very successful. The
association has received guarantees of
50, 500 from the business men in the
city and the canvassers say that they
will have $4,000 pledged before the sun
sets tomorrow afternoon.
The number of unemployed men in
Los Angeles is over 1,5eO- They can't

BOYS SMOKING PIPES.
Abolition of Cigarettes in Kansas City
Results in Startling Developments-

Kansas City. Mo, March S.-With the
cigarette legislated entirely out of their
reach the male population of Kansas
City under 81 years of age, or that pOr-
ton of it determined to smoke in this
world with little regard for the next,
does not seem at all dismayed- Boys
and youths of this class have turned
from the cigarette to the pipe, and
large pipes and small boys are to be
seen at every turn.
While the results of pipe smoking
may not be as harmful to the youth as
the cigarette, the habit bids fair to be
come almost as Objectionable to the
older people, for quantity, not quality,
is the rule in purchasing the tobacco,
especially among newsboys and sons OF
parents who do not provide them with
much spending money.
While the cigarette law is being oh
served to the letter so far as known to
the police, the council will undoubtedly
have to do better and go further in
legislating against the use of tobacco
among the minors

400 GIRLS STRIKE.
Hemstichers in New York Hand
kerchief Factory Go Out

New York, March S.-A big sign ap-
peared on the extensive handkerchief
factory of Acheson, Harden & Co., at
Passaic. n. J., Saturday afternoon.
The sign reads: Girls Wanted
The reason for the sign is that the
entire hemstitching department has
gone on a strike. About 900 girls are
employed at this factory. and many of
them are among the prettiest women
in Passaic. -
Four hundred of them are employed
as hemstitchers, and the others are
equally divided between the folding
and finishing rooms. The girls are paid
by the piece and are able to make only
So a week.
When the girls went tripping to the
factory Saturday morning they were as
light hearted as could be, but before
they had been at work long they were
told that their wages We're to be cut
down 10 per cent.
I say, Mamie, it isn't fair, is it?''
said one.
It's a shame" said bIue-eyed Jessie,
with a toss of her head, land I, for one,
won't work.
This declaration found favor among
the hemstitchers and all 400 of them
stopped working. At 1 o'clock they
went on a strike and left the factory.
When seen yesterday the boss, Ache
son Carter made fun of the idea of a
strike
'.Pshaw!" he said. "Only a few of
them have gone out, and they will soon
be back. The reduction they objected
to was only 2 per cent, and it is alb
surd for them to make such a fuss"

M'KINLEY'S TIGER SKIN.
It is Presented by New York Ad-
mirer of the President.

Washington. D. c.. March S.-A rep
resentative of c. c. Shane of West
Forty second street, New York. has
presented to President Mckinley a
monster tiger skin. Mr. Shayne is an
ardent admirer of the president, and
has been an advocate of Mckinley for
president since 1888. Immediately fol-
lowing the nomination last June, Mr.
Shayne went to Europe, and while in
London gave an order for the very
largest tiger skin that could be pro-
cured. The result was that he secured
a skin of a giant man-eating Mon
golian tiger that measures IL feet 6
inches from the tip of the nose to the
end of the tail. and 61a across the Shout
ders from tip to tip of the forepaws.
The fur is very long and heavy, of
a tawny yellow, with a fringe of black
and white surrounding the face. The
idea of the donor presenting the skin
was that it should form a rug under
the presidents desk, with the nose pro-
jecting from under the front of the
desk. President Mckinley pronounced
it the most magnificent specimen he
had ever seen, and too nice to be used
as Mr. Shayne had intended. He or
dered it placed in the library. where
it formed one of the chief attractions
at Mrs. McKinley'S reception.

PAID IN GOLD.
Manhattan Elevated Pays in Gold, the
First Time in Two Years.

New York, March 8.-When the en-
ployes of the Manhattan Elevated
railway drew their pay today they got
1t in gold, a circumstance so rare that
each man uttered an exclamation as
the bright yellow coins were counted
over to him. AS he pocketed his pay
the look of surprise on his face invarf-
ably quickly changed to knowing
smile, as he said to himself:
Mckinley is inaugurated, and sound
money is celebrating"
All over the system, from section
hand to president, the wages and sal
aries came in gold, and EXPLANATIONS
over the fitting celebration of McKn-
ley's inauguration were general.
1T was by the strangest coincidence
that we paid our men in gold" said
Treasurer D. w. McWilliams. I'VE
really had no thought of President Nc
Kinley's Inauguration. 1t had always
been our custom to pay off in gold un-
til two years ago, when the period of
hard times was at its height. Then we
had to discontinue. We could get no
gold unless we went to the United
States treasury for it, and we would
not do that. Consequently we discon-
tinued the payments in gold. Now
times are getter, gold is once more to
be had, and a week ago we decided to
begin paying in gold.''

M'KINLEY'S HANDSHAKE.
Said to Grasp the Visitors Hand Like
Blaine.

Washington, D. c., March s-The
Missourians who went to the White
House today had an opportunity to
judge of the Mckinley handshake They
were very enthusiastic in praise of it.
The line began to pass him without de-
lay, and in five minutes the sixty odd
Misourians had felt the grasp of the
Presidents hand.
The presidents hand is large. The
flesh is thick and firm. AS he grasped
the hands of the MissOurianS the Pres
ident's forearm rested close to his body.
The shake was all done with the fore
arm. He took a firm hold There was
a sense of power in the grasp.
What did you think of the hand
shaker" as one of the Missourians of
another as they were leaving.
Just like Blaine's," was the reply.

Washington, March S.-While Mr..

Abner McKinleS, the brother of the
president, approached the party and
cordially shook Mr.. Bryan's hand. He
was presented to Mrs. Bryan. Then
Mr.. Bryan said: This is my daughter
Grace"
Mr. Mckinley held out his hand with
a pleasant smile. Grace looked up at
him with a frown on her pretty face
She put her tiny hands behind her
back and shook her head.
Wont you shake hands with me?"
asked Mr. Mckinley in grave voice.
