WEILEP DOUBTS 1T.
Ex-Consul to Sonneberg Thinks Bent
heim's Story Untrue.

Galena, Sept. 7.-E. c. Weilep, ex-
consul to Sonneberg, Germany, says of
the Bentheim interview sent out from
Atlanta, Ga:
Il can not believe Bentheim's story
He duplicates one Herr Alvin Flor
schultz in the matter. When I was
consul at Sonneberg Mr.. Florschultz
was my clerk and had been a clerk at
the consul office for number of years,
and on my recommendation he was
made vice consul. Bentheim says
Florschultz was recommended by the
German government to our government
as consul for the United States at
SOnneberg and that he was accepted.
This is not true, although he was vice
consul under me. Our laws do not al
low a foreigner to act as consul in for
eign lands. He must be a naturalized
citizen of the United States at least,
which FlorSchultz was not. Also
Bentheim makes another error when
he states documents We're received in
the regular United States consular en-
VelOpes with the usual official business
only printed on them, as such en-
velopes are not transmissible in the
mails of the old country unless stamp
ed, so that the American consuls could
not have been used as a safeguard
Mr.. Weilep was consul at Sonneberg
during President Cleveland's first term.

Over 200 Parade Salem Streets
Brandishing Knives.
Cry ing GIVE Cents, Five Cents .
as They Marched.
URGE OTHERS TO JOIN
Demand an Increase For PAIRING
Tomatoes.
Grow So RiOtOus That the
Mayor Tries to Quell Them.

Salem, N. J., Sept. 1.-TWO hundred
girls and women paraded the streets
brandishing knives
1t was not a revolution led by ANA
IONS. 1t was a strike of the table girls
in the canning factories.
They did not cry for blood. They
simply demanded cents instead OF
for peeling a bucketful of tomatoes.
But as their knives cleaned in the
sunlight they loudly asserted their de-
mands and their conduct was so riot
Gus that Mayor Gwynne and Chief of
Police Washington were called to re-
strain them.
On Friday the girls at the factory of
Jones & Ayers asked for an increase in
wages. which was granted to them.
On Saturday morning the table
girls" at the Fenwick factory, operated
by Starr Bros, made a similar demand,
which was refused
The packers have had to pay high
er price for their tomatoes this year
than last, tin has advanced in price, so
they did not feel able to grant the ia
BILE girls demands. The girls went on
strike. Every girl in the Fenwick fac
tory followed them out
The strikers walked out in a body and
went to Harry Lambert's factory on
North Second street. The women and
girls there dropped their work and join
ed the others, who now numbered 200.
y
the female brigade started on a march
for the factory of Jones & Ayres, to the
rhythmic shout of Five cents, five
cents" while the knife blades cleaned.
Arriving there, they were denied ad-
mission
This enraged some of the leading
strikers, and their conduct, it is
charged, was very like strikers of the
sterner sex. They brandished their
knives and it is said that many threats
were made.
The women employees at Jones &
Ayres refused to take any part with
the strikers, but continued to work last
night until the last load of tomatoes
had been packed.
Some of the more timid of these EN-
ployes were afraid to go to their homes
in the evening on account of the threats
that had been made against them. Such
were furnished with escorts, and no
deeds of violence nor hair-pulling have
as yet occurred.
Harry Lambert, seeing what had
happened at his Second street factory,
telephoned to his foreman, N. B. Treen.
at his other factory, ordering him to
suspend operations for the day, and
when the strikers arrived there they
found that most of the women had gone
home.
Starr Brothers made a compromise
and work was resumed. Most of the
factories had a large stock of tomatoes
when the strike was ordered Alfred
Bilderbach advanced wages to avoid
trouble.
Mr.. Jones says he will make charges
against a few of the leaders. The strik-
ers declare they will not yield.

HEARD IN OCTOBER.
Kansas City stockyards Case to Be
Finally Argued.

Attorney General GODDARD is now at
work preparing to appear in the United
States supreme court in October in the
stock yards case, in which the State of
Kansas has won the preliminary vic
tory in the effort to enforce a new
schedule of fees for feed and water and
yardage charges at the Kansas City
stock yards.
The law under which these proceed
1ngS were instituted was passed by the
legislature of 1897 and the fight in the
federal court was made by the attorney
general in opposition to an action to en-
join the attorney general from enforc-
ing the law and to also enjOin the stock
yards company from putting the new
brought by stockholders of the stock
yards company.
The stockholders who are represented
by Judge a. H. Horton are making a
strong attack upon one feature of the
case which was developed by Attorney
General Boyle. By certain witnesses
he established before the referee George
w. Clark, that the stock yards proper
ty is worth $4,000, 900. This was upon
the testimony of witnesses concerning
each piece of land separately and with
out regard TO the Improvement of the
property or the value or benefit of the
adjoining property. The stock yards
company claimed that it's property is
worth $4,000, 600 and that the legislatu
could not in justice pass a law which
would deprive the investors of the op-
portunity to earn a fair return and a
reasonable rate of interest. Therefore
the reduced figures of the valuation, as
compared with the claims made by the
company were at the time important
Now the company will claim that the
valuation of the property depends upon
the improvements; upon the proximity
of one section of the property to the
other; upon the improvements ada
cent The company also claimed that
the value of the property is enhanced
by the packing houses which have been
located near the stock yards. For ex-
ample the nagement of the company
explains that many thousan ds of dol
lars have been expended to induce
packers to locate there Other invest
ments have also been made for which
the company claim an increase of value

81 am very grateful to you for your
kindness and the interest you have
taken in me, and truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth more
to woman than all the doctors in the
world. For years 1 had female troubles
and did nothing for them. OF course
1 became no better and finally broke
down entirely. Ny troubles began
with Inflammation and hemOrrhages
from the kidneys, then Inflammation,
congestion and falling of the womb
and Inflammation of ovaries.
'' underwent local treatment every
day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permits
sion to go back to work. 1 went back,
but in hess than a week was com
PEELED to give up and 60 to bed. On
breaking down the second time, I de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone felt the eff
fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia 3.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a
package of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat
ments and medicine.

now is How much better you lookF and

the cause of my health. Mrs. E. }

TO TAKE M'KINLEY IN.
Chicago Masons' Union Issues Him {
Card.

Chicago. Sept. President McKin-
ley is now a trades union man. He has
been elected a member of the Brick
layers and Stone Masons' International
union, No. 81, of Chicago.
President Gubbins of the union said
that since the chief executive was to
lay the cornerstone of the new post
office it was necessary that the presi-
dent join the union before he is allowed
to handle trowel in Cook county.
1t was first intended to make out the
presidents card September 1. but as
this would have necessitated his pres
ence in the parade on Labor day or the
payment of 81 fine for being absent it
was decided to delay the matter.
A card of honorary membership was
made out for the president today but it
will not be forwarded to him until the
matter has been further discussed.
I'VE will have to take the card away
from him. said Secretary Starn, IF
Mr.. Mckinley sets a stone prepared by
non-union labor, which the stone in
tended for the corner of the new post
Office is. He will be deprived of all the
benefits of the union and the organiza-
ton will strike on any building at
which he lays a cornerstone

BEAUTIFCL KILLARNEY.
[From the London Times.1

A certain tourist who was doing all
the sights of the Holy Land with pain
full earnestness was scandalized to see
an American arrive one afternoon,
hurry round all the sacred places and
make ready to depart betimes on the
morrow. He ventured to inquire of this
busting traveller why, having come so
far, he rushed away so quickly. Sir, -
replied the Yankee, Il am timed to do
Europe in a fortnight. I have thrown
in the Holy Land, and if 1 stay here
longer than one night I can not see
Killarney, which takes three days"
That American had been well advised.
Energetic, buStling tourists have en-
deaVOred to see all the beauties of the
place in one day, and, though they have
been delighted and overwhelmed by
what they saw, they have not been able
to restrain a pang of regret at the
thought of what they had missed.
Killarney, if not in itself at least by
description, is known the world over
and has great reputation to maintain,
but, unlike many other places of re-
nown, it does not belle it. The Lakes
of Killarney may not prove to be quite
as the stranger anticipated, but the i'm
preston he carries away is none the
less one of profound admiration and
wonder The particular charm which
inWrapS him is that of the peaceful
loneliness and serenity of the whole,
and this strikes home with increased
conviction after passing by the wa
terway from the upper to the lower
lake. The former sheet of water en-
veloped as it is by ragged peaks and
gloomy, unclOthed mountains, can not
vie with the lower lake, whose mag
nificent stretch of silver waves is
fringed and caressed by foliage and
trees, by rich meadows and sweet
smelling blooms. while the rugged out
lines of the wild hills is softened by
the purple haze, and space is lost in an
infinity of graceful undulations The
boat ride from the far edge of the up
per lake to the ruins of Ross Castle is
an experience which can not be de-
scribed. It must be enjoyed, and rest
assured it will linger in the memory to
the last day.

BRYAN MAKES IT PLAIN.
Defines His Position on the Philip
pine Question.

San Francisco, Sept. 7.-William J.
Bryan, who with his family has arrived
here from Yosemite, was given an en-
thusiastic reception at Woodward's
pavilion last night. The pavilion was
packed to the doors and hundreds were
unable to obtain admission.
Mr.. Bryan, during his address, said
he believed that our government, after
establishing the Philippine republic,
should extend to its people the same
protection that it is now giving to the
republics of South and Central America
protection from outside interference
and unhampered freedom to work out
their destiny.
Mr.. Bryan stated that he did not
favor the withdrawal of our troops
from the Philippines before a stable
government is established.
