Another Successful Night at the Big
Saengerfest.

Another Successful N1Sht AT the nlS
Saengerfest.
CINCINNATI, June 3O.-Another night
of typical June weather, with a tempera-
ture as bracing as mountain air, favored
the German singers. Again the swiftly
cCnverging street cars conveyed the null
titude to the saengerfest hall on the hill
top, three miles from the court house,
with marvellous speed. The assembling
of such a great audience at such dis
lance from the business center of the
city and elevated to the hill tops was
astonishing. The audience tonight was
over 1000 In addition to this the orches-
ira and chorus numbered nearly 1000,
making an assembly of about $4,000. The
spectacle was one to prove an Astounding
love of song. Hundreds Of devoted music
Low ers stood throughout the evening, un-
able to obtain seats.
The programme was one of the most
interesting of the week. 1t presented
the saengerbund mass chorus, in which
the singers are numbered by thousands,
in a number of attractive selections. In
deed, the great chorus held the stage the
greater part of the evening. 1t is diff
cult to describe the effect of such vol
ume of voices in such songs. No national
lines limited the spheres or appreciation
of the grand German vocalization.

day decided to hold their next saengerfest

HOMESTEAD STRIKE.
Terrible Struggle of Seven Years
Ago May Be Repeated.

PITTSBURG, Pa, June 3O-A strike
was inaugurated at the Homestead steel
works which may rival the famous bat
tie between capital and labor which was
fought on that famous spot seven years
ago. The discharge of fifteen men at the
plant, during the past three weeks is at
the bottom of the trouble. These men
were dismissed because of their affilia-
ton with the newly-formed lodge of the
Amalgamated association.
The strike, Of whatever proportions II
may be, was precipitated today when a
committee of nine men who sought the
reinstatement of the discharged men were
also discharged for the same reason.
Supt. Corrin informed the men that no
organized men would be retained, though
1t became necessary to close down the
entire plant AT a secret meeting of the
men, held on Thursday, 1t was decided
to stand by the organization, and in the
event of discharge of any of their men
all would strike.
When the men were discharged today
they were not permitted to return to the
mill, and the walkout was not Immediate
ly carried out, but eventually one of the
men gained access to the workmen with
the result late tonight according to the
president of the AmaIgamated associa-
ton, at Homestead) that 1000 men have

Agent John Moak, of the Humane So

the arrest of Mrs. Bridget Murray, 700
Lee avenue. She Is charged with having
maltreated and cruelty abused Ernest
Smith, child less than two months old,
which was left in her charge by its
mother
Mrs. Murray denies the charges made
against her and states that the children
received fair treatment. Her declaration
that the children are not ill-treated is
Endorsed by Father Colbert, who made
an investigation yesterday and says that
Mrs Murray is an honest, Woodworking
woman, who gives to the children en-
trusted to her as good care as they could
be given by their mothers, and in some
cases better.
Mrs. Murray was seen at her residence
by reporter yesterday and denied the
charges made by Mrs. Polonius and
others.

Harnish and Mrs. Polonius to make these
charges against me-" said Mrs. Murray.

Moak have seen them all in company
with Father Colbert, Of St. James
church, and they all deny having made
any statements to Moak or to newspaper

sores on its head from teething and
formed the habit of scra tching them.

Mrs. H. Bland. one of the neighbors,

That was an error. Mrs. Bland didn't see

would have told him that so far as her
knowledge goes Mrs. Murray has always

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process Of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
