BOILER MAKERS.
 OUT ON A STRIKE
ALLEGED THAT THE SOUTHERN EN-
 PLOYED NON-UNION MEN.
Serious Complications May Arise-They Were Paid Up, and It Is Intimated Will
 Not Be Taken Back.

A small size strike is on at the Southern railway shops in this city.
 Thirteen boilerma1ers quit work on Sat urday on account of the alleged employ ment of two non-union boilermakers at s2.5O per day against s2.7O per day for the union men, A meeting of the Boilermak- CTS union was held in Clerks hall on Sat- urday night, but nothing was given out for publication.
 The railroad officials claim that work In the department is not urgent as the en- zines are in good condition. It is also said that the places will be filled with new men.
 All of the men were paid up to the time they quit yesterday, which seems to indi- cate that the railroad company will not take them back.
 Just what steps will be taken by the boilermakers is not known, but it is inti- mated that other complications will arise unless some settlement is reached.

MALICE OF 4 MORTAL SIN Toward the Creator Illustrated
 By Father Bonaventure. THE MISSION AT ST. PAUL'S Is We'll Attended, and Being Conducted By Fathers of the Passonists-Young
 Men Requested to Attend

The series of mission sermons which are
 now being preached at St Paufs Catholic church show all evidences of bearing good
 fruit
 Father Robert of the Passionists Fathers of New York, seems to be a most earnest
 and zealous worker.
 Father Bonaventure opened the services
 last night with short address on the
 Sacrament of the Penance. His instructions
 were of very practical kind and he gave
 careful directions as to the condition of
 mind one should be in when the sacrament is administered.
 Before beginning his sermon Father Rob- erts made an appeal to the young men of the church to attend the services, especially
 the early morning masses, with more reg ularity.
 Father Roberts based his sermon on the
 malice which mortal sin shows toward
 the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
 He said that Gods works consisted of the
 creation, which is God Himself; the Re-
 demption, which is Jesus Christ, and the sanctification, which is the Holy Ghost ssThe end of man is the union with God" he continued. "Our first parents in the | garden of Eden destroyed this end when | they ate the forbidden fruit, and so de- stroyed the work of creation. mortal sin at this time is no less heinous than it was then. It follows naturally that this should be so. A mortal at this time IS created just as Adam was and for the same
 purpose Consequently, when man com
 mits his first mortal sin, as far as he IS
 concerned, he destroys the work of his
 creation.
 .rrhe gravity of an insult depends on the
 dignity of the one insulted. So it is that m recompense could be made for an insult to God But Jesus Christ, His son, was born, suffered and died as a penance for each individuals sins. mortal sin thus destroys the work of Christ. mortal sin also destroys the work of the Holy Ghost; that is, all that has been done for the church of God since Christ's death. Mortal
 sin will destroy every good action man has done. He may repent, 1t is true, and his merits be restored to him, but should he die before repentance, he will be eter- nally damned.
 ssThe infamous infidels, like Ingersoll. | tell us," said he, ''that God was cruel in creating a hell. Hell is not the creation or God, but that of sin. It is not matter or fire and birthstone that makes hell so hor-
 rible. These are only incidental. But 1t is
 the eternal separation of a soul from its
 creator, doomed to everlasting solitude,
 away from the source of all life and love, that makes hell.
 "Grant the immortality of the soul and you admit the eternal torments of hell and the everlasting joys of heaven. All this is what one mortal sin destroys, and millions | and millions of these sins are committed 1 through ignorance. But Christ's last words are sufficient intercession to all those
 who repent: Father, forgive them, for 1 they know not what they do.'"

PROUD OF HIS NOSE.
An Illinois Man Who Was Not Ashamed
OF an Appalling Nasal
AfIiictiOn.

The keeper of an clearinghouse and
lunch counter on the Illinois Central
railroad, much nearer than 1000 miles
to Chicago, is blest or afflicted with a
huge nose, veritable trunk Of Cor
gantuan proportions. Whoever sees it
and, like the masts Of ship at sea, it
is the first portion of his anatomy that
appears in sight-whoever encounters
it for the first time utters an exclama-
ton either of surprise or fright, says the
Chronicle.
Its possessor takes no offense at this;
indeed, he seems to regard it as mark
Of distinction, and draws a surly face
If a stranger neglects to stare at it.
The other day-he tells the story him
self-a train stopped for five minutes,
and several people entered to purchase
sandwiches, pies, crackers, cheese and
other coveted refreshments. The train
was nearly ready to depart when tall
man rushed up to the counter and
shouted:
"Give me ten cents worth of crackers
and Is cents worth Of chee-whillikens,
what a nose!"

BIG COCKROACHES.
A New York Journalist Makes the
Acquaintance of Some Flor
Ida Whoppers.

Some parts of Florida are infested
with an animal of extraordinary char
acter, which has about the same rela-
ton to a cOckroach that a whale bears
to hornpOut. 1t is a gigantic but ex-
tremely lively creature, says the Bos-
ton Transcript, which suddenly ap-
pears from almost anywhere and goes
racing like a shot over anything that
comes in its way. The strongest man
will jump like girl at the appear
ance of it. 1t seems to be particular
" aboundant up at Lakeland, where
the Massachusetts and New York sol
diers are. Shortly after the arrival of
those troops a New York journalist of
delicate sensibilities went up to Lake
land and found that he had to stay all
night. By dint of much persuasion he
obtained permission to put up at
local tavern, whose proprietress
seemed to have deeply-grounded OBJ
lection to entertaining any guest at
all. She gave him candle and he went
upstairs. Presently he came rushing
down, in his shirt and trousers, bear
ing the candle, which had been ex-
tinguished by the rapidity of his fight.
On his face was an expression Of ter
rible alarm
'See here!" he said, "there are cock
reaches as big as rats running all over
my bed!"
The landlady sighed deeply. why"
she said. presently, you amt afraid
Of them, are you? Why, they get into
our table drawers and eat up our post
age stamps on us as fast as we get
'em!"
That was all the newspaper man
could get out OF the landlady on the
subject. He had to go back to his
room, and sat up wondering what sort
of table drawers they could have in
Florida that these creatures could get
into them when he fell asleep of actual
exhaustion.

WHIRLED THE VARNISH AWAY
Hardened Lacquer Runs Like Liquid
from q Rapidly Revolving
Dynamo Disk.

A curious observation was made in
the shops Ct an electric establishment
in Berlin the other day. For the pur-
pose Of making certain experiments a
disk covered with varnish and lacquer
was mounted upon the axle of a rapid
ly-rotating dynamo, and it was noticed
that when the number of rotations was
increased to several thousand per min
ute the lacquer covering on the outer
surface would crackle and break off,
says the Philadelphia Record.
On the sides the varnish, which had
been quite solid, began to flow toward
the outer edge and in about an hour
every vestige of it had entirely disap-
peared. It is doubtless the centrifu-
gal power which caused that unusual
flow Of solid lacquer. There is still an
other fact to be mentioned i'll this con-
nection. The shaft upon which the disc
was mounted remained quite normal
until the number of about $500 revolu-
lions was reached; from then on the
shaft began to pound and to waver, be
came more quiet after thousand more
revolutions, but started again to beat
and pound when 1000 revolutions were
registered Curiousiy enough the
pounding was almost entirely stopped
when a slight pressure was brought to
bear upon one end of the shaft.

DOG SAVES A BIG LINER.
The Faithful Animal Warns the Cap
tain Just In Time to Avoid
O. Collision.

Capt. Granlain, of a big lake liner,
boasts of a first-class seaman that
never leaves the vessel or demands
money for his services. This peculiar
tar is known as Bert" He has no
surname, as far as his fellow sailors
are able to ascertain. Beyond an oc-
casional report to the "old man." as
the captain is called, he rarely opens
his mouth, says the Chicago Chronicle.
Bert will have the everlasting
gratitude of the stockholders Of the
transportation corporation for being
instrumental in avoiding a collision
recently. The steamer was proceed
ing slowly elong Lake Huron in a
dense fog with every eye directed
ahead in search of a strange light.
The deep-mouthed whistle was below
ing out warning every moment and
an answering tOot was occasionally
heard on the starboard side.
Suddenly Bert was full of activity.
He had been looking Through the
gloom as earnestly as the others with
his paws on the bulwarks He bound

his might. capt. Granlaln rushed to
the engineer signal and ordered ere

just in time to avoid a towering pas

suddenly in the fog. If the freighter
had proceeded along her course both
vessels would probably have gone to
the bottom.
'"That dog is the greatest sailor on
the lakes" said the captain. "He al
ways keeps my watch with me and
cannot be induced to leave the deck
forward or the bridge where l may
chance to be. His eyes are far superior
in power of vision than human optics.

COMBUSTION IN BRIOUETTES.
Results when They Are Loaded Too
Soon After Leaving the
Press.

The danger Of spontaneous combus-
ton in briquettes or patent fuel forms
the subject of al article in the journal
Of the Central union Of the Prussian
Steam Boiler Inspection association. Ip-
stances are mentioned in which bri-
quette stores have kindled spontaneous
ly, after having been exposed for long
time to the suns rays, and in this con-
nection the following suggestions have
been thrown out by a recent writer in
the Gluckauf, who points out that such
spontaneous ignition is unknown in
the Ruhr district.
On leaving the press the briquettes
show high degree of heat, about 1922 de-
grees Fahrenheit or more, and, in order
to hasten the cooling, they are sprinkled
with water while being loaded on to the
railway wagons. If the loaded wagons
have remained standing for some hours
the cooling of the brique1tes will be so
far advanced that they can be forwarded
at once; but, if they be sent off too soon,
ignition may, under certain circum-
stances, take place during the transport
to destination.
The idea of spontaneous com bustion
in briquettes that have been completely
cooled, is, however, repudiated, no such
case having been properly authenti
Gated by the writer, but he presumes
that the coal made up into patent fuel is
first freed from all foreign substances
so as to contain no pyrites, and also that
a large portion of the volatile gases are
driven off In the process of manufac-

Ingenious Monks.

A recent dynamite explosion in q
Kursk (Russia) monastery turns out to
have been the work of the ingenious
monks themselves, who took that means
Of attracting attention to the miracu-
lous powers Of their image of the Vir-
gin. The image was removed TO place
of safety before the dynamite was fred,
and then put back, so that while the
walls Of the building were shattered the
image was unhurt. Crowds of pilgrims
were attracted to the monastery by the
miracle, but the government has put
the monks under arrest.

RAISINS AS HORSE FEED.
A California Mans Animals Like
Them and Flourish ON Such
Provisions.

2. P. Brooks, living eight miles west
of Fresno, is using raisins as horse feed,
and the result of his observat lions will
be interesting, as he is an old horse man,
reports the Fresno (Cal.) Republican.
In an interview with q republican re-
porter he said:
Barley is worth $50 a ton, and rails
ms from $18 to $50. 1t is difficult to sell
good raisins for over 500 a ton. Some
time ago l concluded to use raisins as
horse feed instead of grain. AS an ex-
pertinent | bought an old horse and fed
the animal II pounds of raisins q day.
The nag was worn out and poor, but in
short time he began to fatten and
grow sleek. The food seemed very
nourishing and the horse became plump
and full of life. l sold the animal back
to the original owner for S3O-three
times what l gave for him. Twelve
pounds of raisins a day is equal to 20
pounds of barley. AT the present price
of grain this would make the food
value of raisins about 500 a ton, leaving
profit Of SAP ton over the actual sell
ing price of SIS. The raisins also make
good cattle and hog food, but l have
not experimental much in that line.
Horses seem to relish the raisins, and
keep in good condition while being
worked. Several of my neighbors will
follow my example and use raisins for
stock feed. This is a good way to get
rid of the surplus now in the hands Of
the farmers"
