THICKER THAN WATER.
Ties of Blood Binding EngIIshmsn and
Americans.

That it exists there can be no doubt.
Even to people on this side of the At
lantic 1t is apparent; and those who.
like myself. have lately passed through
the United States can testify to its in
tensity and spontaneity. The cause
which has produced 1t is not far to seek.
A great sympathy and friendship has
been apparent for two or three years.
even the excitement about the Ven
ezuelan dispute failed to disturb it:
and when 1t looked as II continental
Europe was disposed to enter the con-.
test between the United States and
spain, not so much in defense of Span
ism interests as with a view of hunili-
ating the United States, there appeared
a genuine sympathetic interest, which
extended from the man In the street to
the cabinet minister at Whitehall We
pitled the fall of Spain, but we could
not help feeling that our kinsmen were
taking up the cause for which this
country in the past has spent so much
and made such gigantic sacrifices. AS
became a neutral, we were unmoved
spectators of events, until that whisper
arose which stirred us all to our depths.
When 1t became evident that an in
trlgue was on foot to throw a Latin
alliance into arms against the United
Enthusiastically heard and we showed
plainly that in such an event Great
Rritain must be reckoned with and any
attempt to wrest from our kinsmen the
gains won by her sons ashore and afioat
by combination of continental Eu-
rope, would have to meet the whole
Anglo-Saxon race in armed alliance
The storm passed, but that little proof
of our sincerity did more than a tor
rent Of words to establish cordial rela-
tions between the United States and
Great Britain. Our kinsmen realize for
the first time, what we have never
doubted over here. that, differ as we
may between ourselves, neither of us
would ever see the flag Of Anglo Saxon
freedom dipped on either side of the
Atlantic to an overwhelming combina-
tion of continental Europe.-Lord
Charles Beresford in the Pail Mall

There have been 20 bricklayers al

they will be unable to work. unless they
double up and do the work forr' erly

of the Bricklayers' union have partial

will do So

existing conditions are explained it will

strike have declared that any member

upon the building after being ordered
to cease work will be expelled from
the organization they hold membership

was overwhelmingly in favor of up

Yesterday morning, when the pos

building was mentioned, the idea was
scorned. BY working yesterday morn
ing, the carpenters were playing a
shrewd game. Confidence in them was
restored, and the owners of the building
had not the slightest intimation rela-
tive to the impending trouble. The
Central Labor Union Endorsed the ac-

ENGINEERS ABOARD SHIP.
Lot of That Official and His Men on Bat
tleship When In Action.

If you were sealed up in a heated
iron tank floating on the sea and ham
mered at by missiles which now and
then let in daylight and splinters, you
would get a dim idea of the lot of the
engineers men aboard a battleship in
action. But the engineers men have
to work in the hurly-burly and you
would go mad in your tank. The en-
emy'S shot pounds the Ship but the
engineer and his men know not where
the enemy is or where the ship is
heading. And they can't stop to think
about it. Keep that bearing cool,
smother it in oil, drown it in water.
Keep it cool or the games up!
The men on deck can let the splin-
tiers lie where they fall, but the men in
the engine room have to keep the splin-
terS out of the machinery. Steam

about 1t, put out that fire in the bunk

go about quietly, with clear heads,
watching everything. There's no bawl-
ing, unusual noise, no confusion. In

Chief Engineer Murphy, who told him
that an attempt had been made to blow
up the boiler room. In view of the fact
that one man had been killed as the result
of an explosion at the brewery plant Mr..
Chamberlain said that he felt like insti-
tuttng an investigation.
According 10 Chamberlain, Murphy ac-
cused him of tampering with the boiler
Mr.. Chamberlain grew angry under such
grave charge and proceeded to explain.
The matter was smoothed over and no
blame was attached to Chamberlain, as
he had positive proof that he had not been
in the yard on the day the valve was
opened.
After Mr. Chamberlain had made known
several things he had discovered relative
to the standing of Chief Engineer Murphy
as union man, and substantiating the
same, he appealed to the Central Labor
Union to order an investigation No ac-
ton was taken, as a majority of the dele
gates believed that the matter should be
decided by the International Union of
Brewery Workmen. 1t was voted to rec
ommend that Mr. Chamberlain should APP
peal to the national organization of which
he is a member. President Pierce advised
Mr. Chamberlain to push the case Mr.
Chamberlain told The Spy man that he
intended to have all the facts connected
with the chief engineers reign at the
Worcester Brewing Corporation brought
before the National Brewers Union at
once,

WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.
Record Breaking Crowd Attend Butchers
and Groeers' Excursion.

The Butchers and grocers' excursion
yesterday furnished the rare comb.na-
ton of an immense crowd, unexcelle 1
train service, good weather, and. best
of all, an orderly affair.
When Union station was reached yes
terday morning by the advance guard
of butchers and grocers, every arrange
ment was made for handling record
breaking crowd, when the first train
pulled out at $50 o'clock There was
not hitch in the contamination of the
plans, and at $50 another train pulled
out.
Two more followed, one at 7.10 and
another 10 minutes later. Thirty-four
hundred tickets had been sold, and be-
fore reaching Boston, the promoters of
the affair realized that the excursion
was the largest ever arranged in this
city. On the return trip, trains left Bos
ton at TAO, 8 and $50 o'clock.

THOSE coNTRABAND sToGIEs.

Those contraband stogies still remain in
the possession Of Deputy. Collector of In
ternal Revenue o. j. WinslowA
Mr. Winslow, when he received word
that the owners could have their goods
back by buying new and genuine stamps,
AS yet he has heard from none of them.
The delay is due to the fact that no
steps will be taken by the government
until all the Worcester men have made
adopted is that the cigar owners apply
to Collector James D. Gill of Boston, and
he will send the new stamps to Mr.. Win
slow, and also a cancelling machine with
which to properly cancel them
There is only one cancelling machine
In this district, and for this reason il will
not be sent here until all the interested
parties have applied for stamps.

THE AQUATIC oMNIvoRE.
David Starr Jordan in AppIeton's Popular
Science Monthly.


The catfish belongs to an ancient type
not yet fully made into a fish, and
hence those whose paired fins are all
properly fastened to the head, as his
are not, hold him in well-merited scorn
He has no scales and no bright colors
His fins are small, and his head and
mouth are large. Around his mouth
are eight long "smellers," fieshy feel
ers, that he pushes out as he crawls
along the bottom in search of anything
that he may eat. AS he may eat any
thing he always finds 1t. His appetite
is as impartial as that of a goat. Any
thing from a dead lamprey or bunch
of sunfish eggs TO a piece of tomato
can is grateful to him. In each of the
fins which represent his arms is long,
sharp bone with Shiny surface and a
serrated edge. These are fastened by
a ball-and-socket joint, and whenever
the fish is alarmed the bone is whirled
over and set in place then 1t sticks
out stiffly on each side. There Is an
other such bone in the fin on the back,
and when all Of these are set there is
no fish that can swallow him.
When he takes the hook. which he
surely will do II there is any hook to be
taken, he will swallow 1t greedily. AS
he is drawn out of the water he sets
his three spines, and laughs to himself
as the boy pricks his fingers trying to
get the hook from his stomach. This
the boy is sure to do, and because the
boy Of the Mississippi is always fishing
for catfish Is the reason why his fingers
are always sore. The catfish is care
less of the present, and sure of the flu
ture.- After he Is strung on a birch
branch and dried in the sun and
sprinkled with dust and has had his
stomach dug out to recover the hook,
If he falls into the brook he will swim
away. He holds no malice and Is
ready to. bite again at the first thing
in sight.
