WITH NON-UY|ON MEN
Tie Bellaire Steel Plant Likely to Be
Started This Morning.
Strikers Places to Be Filled by Men
From the Blast Furnace, From
Pittsburg and Other Places Fail
ure to Start May Be Due to the
Mems Failure to Show UP.
Mes Bishop and Garland
Hopeful Of Settlement.

The efforts to effect a conference be-
tween the management Of the Bellaire
steel plant and the striking employees
have as yet proved of no avail, but the
situation assumed a sudden turn yes
terday afternoon when a meeting was
called at the mill and held in the plate
department. Not great many were
present, but the majority were labor
ing men. Mr.. Carter addressed the
meeting and made known his inten
tons of attempting to start the mill
this morning with new men.
The failure to start the mill this
morning will only be due to the failure
of the requisite number of men to show
up. 1t is understood that a number Of
the men from the blast furnace, togeth-
er with those from various cities, in
Guiding Pittsburg, have been secured to
fill the strikers places. 1t was report
ed last night on the streets Of Bellaire
that several citizens had decided to
enter the works this morning.
The strikers held a meeting in the
City Hall last night, but as to their OBJ
ject they refused to be interviewed.
Mr. Bishop, of the Ohio State Board of
Arbitration, and M. NJ. Garland, Pres
ident of the Amalgamated Association
Of Iron and Steel Workers of America,
are hopeful, despite the crisis in the
situation, that they may bring the men
and the company together for settle
nent and are working untiringly to
that end.

AN EXCELLENT INVENTION.

Ex-Fire Chief Dunning and 1. E.
Freese have on exhibition at the store
of Mr.. Freese, on Market street, an
improved automatic fire alarm sys-

sists of alseries of ropes, to which is
attached a weight, which connects
with electric batteries. When a fire
starts the ropes burn, releasing the
weight, and alarms ring inside and
outside fhe house until stopped. The
apparatus has been warmly praised
by persons who have examined it.

comedy, "a Member of Congress" The
members of the company proved them
selves equally proficient in comedy roles
and had the house in an uproar through
out the evening. The special ball room
scene, with myriads of electric lights,
was especially pleasing. The special

singing of Baby June. This afternoon
the company will repeat "a Member of

class is called at $3.50 o'clock and the
periods are eighty minutes long, with
an hour for luncheon, from 1870 to
1890 o'clock. Work in the shop alter
mates with drawing, so that each boy is
in the shop every alternate day. Each
student has locker of his own, in which
he will keep his cap and apron and two
planes, four Chisels and four gauges, for
which he is held responsiblee. Besides
these tools each young carpenter has at
his bench a crOsscut and rip and back
saw, hammer, mallet, an oil stone,
a square, a screwdriver, oilers, a bevel
and dividers. Other tools which will be
used during the course in carpentering
are provided in the shop.
The course in manual training extends
through the four years of the school cur
rlculum. Carpenter work is taught dur
ing the first year, then follow pattern
making with wood at the lathe, the
course in blacksmithing with forge work,
and the course in the machine shop.
The work is as complete as that in many
colleges. 1t is intended to give exercise,
educate the hands as well as the minds
of the students and furnish good fOun-
dation for higher work and study in me-
chanical arts.

The Ten Commandments.

The ten commandments, as written on
| the two tables OF stone, and preserved in
the ark, were probably all very short.
The specifications and the reasons at
tached to them are ampllfcatlOns added
in writing the books of Exodus and Deu-
teronOmy. This appears beyond ques-
tlon by a comparison Of the fourth COM
mandment as given in these two ac-
counts Of the giving Of the law at Sinai.
The primary command is the same
in both cases; it Is remember" or "Ob-
serve" "the Sabbath day to keep it holy"
The specifications are the same, the son,
the daughter the cattle and the stranger;
all were to rest from work. But the
reasons differ. In Exodus 1t reads:
For in six days the Lord made
heaven and earth, the sea and all that in
them Is; wherefore the Lord blessed the
Sabbath day and hallOWed ii"
The reason in Deuteronomy is quite
different:
"That thy man servant and thy maid
servant may rest as we'll as thou And
thou shalt remember that thou vast
servant in the land Of Egypt, and the
Lord thy God brought thee out thence
by mighty hand and by a stretched
out arm; therefore the Lord thy God
commanded thee to keep the Sabbath
day"
The difference between the two is this,
that one looks GOdward and the other
manward the one has divine outlook,
while the other is completely humani-
tartan. Both command rest for man and
beast; but one says that this rest is en-
joined because God rested on the sew
enth day from the six days work Of
creation, and that the Sabbath day COM
memOrates this rest and makes 1t the
example for man; the other declares
that servants and slaves, under the will
Of a master, who cannot command their
times of rest, must be cared for, and
have a regular rest day provided for
them; and that the people Of Israel must
remember, even the richest of them,
their mobiles and kings, that they served
with rigor in Egypt, where no rest was
allowed them-New York Independent.

Nothing is more discouraging to me
than the general inefficieency of young

they can be self-suppOrting, said lady

Manual Training in Kansas City Schools

Manual Training in Kansas City Schools.
Two hundred and sixty Kansas City
boys began to-day to learn the trade Of
carpenter. The Manual Training school
has opened its shops and the first class
took up its tools at $50 o'clock this
morning. This department Of the new
school will occupy two rooms in the
west wing Of the basement until the
east wing is built, when the youthful
carpenters will work in upstairs rooms.
The benches, where the manual work
Is being done, are arranged in two rows,
six benches to the row, in one of the
rooms, and there are five benches in the
other division Of the shop. The work
benches are heavy wood and two young
workmen stand facing each other, sepa-
rated by a wooden frame for tools.
Stanley II. Moore, head of the car
pentry department Of the school, will de-
velop the minds Of the students along
with their hands. Before any work Is
done on the carpenter benches each stu
dent is required to draw plan. The
first exercise to-day was the "squarlng
up of block of soft pine wood. Mr..
class up before his desk at one end
of the room and told them how to ascer-
tain when the block was square" and
the manner Of using the jack plane in
the smoothing Of the blocks Then each
boy went to his place and was happy
and busy at once.
The greater number of those who are
studying carpentering are boys from IA
to 16 years of age, freshmen in the
school, and the novelty of the benches
and tools and work makes them bubble
over with pleasure. Like the girls in
the cooking school, the carpenters will
wear unifOrm--white caps, with the let
ters VI. r. H. s., for Manual Training
High school, and long aprons Of blue
denim.
The $50 boys who have entered the
manual course are divided into ten
classes, under two instructors. The first

or sing very WELL But the cash value
OF all these accomplishment combined
was less than the value of the unlettered
Irish servant girl, who could go into

"It would seem that there was some
thing wrong with our educational sys-
tenn when our educated girls are so ig-
nOrant of the practical duties of life.
They are now taught something of cook
ing and sewing in many of our public
schools; but most of them regard this as
mere amusement, and it counts for little
i'll fitting them for the actual and prac-
tical work Of cooking and sewing and
the care of a home.
"If mothers do not teach their daugh-
ters these things in their own homes,
they will not be learned at all. And the
mother has failed in her duty if her
daughter, at the age of % or %, finds
herself utterly lacking in the ability

THE LONG. HARD HILL.

They were standing I'm the sunlight
OK the summertime Of life;
She was still without husband,
He was waiting for a Wife
And her cheeks were rich and rosy
And her lips were luscious red,
So ne pressed her dlmpled fingers
As he looked at her and said,
As they stood there In the heather
Where the road had crossed the rili:
MAY we not fare together
Up this long, hard hillY'
Now her hand began TO tremble
And her eyes were full OF tears
AS she trained them on the road that
Wound away among the years;
But she had no voice 70 answer
Him. she could not understand,
For the future lay before her
Like a far-Off fairy land;
There was sunlight on the heather,
There was music In the rill
And they went away together
Up the hard, long hill.
Oftentimes the way was sunny,
Other times twas full OF lures,
But the love that had come to them
Was the true love that endures.
Though the bOnny brow Is wrinkled,
Though the raven lock be gray,
Yet the road might have been Tougher
Had she gone the other way.
Now the frost Is on the heather
And the snow is on the rill,
And they're coasting down the short sid'
OF the long, hard hill.
