STEREOTYPERS' STRIKE.
Mr.. DOnneIIy Tells the Industrial
Commission why 1t Failed.


WASHINGTON, May IS. B. Donnel-
ly, president of the international Typo
graphical union, was before the indus
trial commission today. Referring to the
strike of the stereotypers in Chicago last
year Mr.. Donnelly said 1t was a failure
because 1t did not have the sanction of
the general order. He thought strikes
were diminishing. The witness intimated
that there were about 1900 Mergenthaler
machines in use in the United States, and
they had displaced about 1900 workmen.
The printers had accepted machinery in
their work as inevitable, but he consid-
cred them detrimental to their business
under existing circumstances. Mr.. DON
nelly opposed the Incorporation of trades
unions because he was afraid of the
courts.
THE banking systems seems to per-
meate everything he said, mot only

A FUNNY OLD MULE.
Always Has His Own Why and Stands
with His Head where His Tall
Ought to he.

At the Cincinnati workhouse is an
old white mule, known as Jack. lie Is
considered one of the most peculiar and
eccentric of mules because Of one habit.
Jack refuses, and has refused ever since
he came to the workhouse, several years
ago, to occupy his stall like the other
mules and horses in the same stable,
and instead of walking into it, as they
do, he approaches the door, and, turn
ing about, backs into the stall. In this
position he occupies the stall allotted to
him at all times, his head being where
his tail ought to be.
No one knows just how Jack con-
ceived the idea that this is the proper
way for him to enter the stall, and liz tie
is known as to his views on the subject
beyond the fact that they are positive
ard Interchangeable, for no living man
has ever yet been able to convince Jack
that he is in the wrong or to induce him
to reverse his movements in taking his
place for meal or to retire for the
night.
Thus it is that the stall occupied by
jack, though originally like the others
in the row, has been readjusted to suit
his habits and needs. In the front
proper of the stall is the regular feed
box and the rack into which the hay
is thrown from the loft above, but Jack
has never seen them, because he takes
his subsistence of life from an impro-

SMART WOODPECKERS.
They Saved Themselves Much Hard
Work by Calling Chemistry to
Their Assistance.

A Chicago professor who has been in
the Maine woods this summer tells an
interesting story of the intelligence Of
a family of woodpeckers which he en-
countered near the headwaters of the
Allegash, and which were most uncom-
monty bright birds. AS everyone
knows who has observed these birds
at all, they feed on the worms which
burrow into trees. Any worm with
fair amount of activity can bore gal
lery three or four feet long in n tree.
in single season, so to find his prey the
woodpecker has to make several holes
in the tree in order to get at his victim.
This particular family of woodpeckers,
having some difficulty in getting at the
worm after they had drilled hole into
his gallery, proposed to save themselves
unnecessary work. And what do you
think they did? In the Allegash woods
grows the Indian poke" plant with
berries possessing an alkaline juice
particularly disagreeable to all animal
life. And so these Allegash woodpecl-
ers, having made an entrance into the
domain of the borer, proceed next to
drop berries of the Indian poke into
the opening. And so much does the
worm dislike the odor OF the poke ber-
ries that he comes out to get away from
II, and incidentally TO see who has had
the impertinence to cause him so mich
discomfort. He never gets any farther
than the entrance, because Mr.. Wood
pecker is waiting there, and that worm
is gobbled up so quickly that he never
knows what happened to him. This
seems like good deal Of fairy story.

JACK IN HIS STALL.

vised box built in the left-hand corner
of the rear of the stall and at the side
of the door through which he backs.
Jacks popularity was discovered the
evening of the first day he spent at the
institution. His introduction was a
days work at grading, and when he was
relieved from the harness and led to the
door of the stall assigned to him he re-
fused silently, but emphatically, to go
into it. The men thought this was due
to the fact that everything was strange
to him, and they began to coax and per-
suade him, but to no avail They then
resortcd TO force, but this brought no
more satisfactory results, for Jack could
not be made to enter. After working for
some time the men became exhausted,
Disguised, angry and weary. They sat
down on boxes and barrels to discuss
the stubbornness of mules and to devise
some means of making the new one
obey instructions, when, to their sur
prise, before even n suggestion had been
made, Jack turned around, lined him
self up evenly before the door, and was
soon standing in the stall calmly and
with an air of satisfaction, staring at
the men.
He was led out and another effort
made to have him go in the stall in the
proper manner, but he again, and just
as emphatically, refused; yet as soon
as released, he repeated the operation
Of backing in.
Since that time he has been allowed
TO have his own way, and never has he
followed the example set by the other
mules and the horses in the stable. Jack
is an honest and conscientious worker,
faithful and dutiful, and is n prime ia
vorite with the employees and prison
ers who work about the stables.-Cin-

BRYAN LOSING SUPPORT.
Democrats Are Coming tn the Con-
cIusIon That the Cheap Money
Moses wOn't DO.

\ good many democrats, now that
they fully comprehend the import of
the recent elections, are disposed
TO express grave doubts regarding the
candidacy of Mr.. Bryan. Among others
the two senator's from Virginia are
reported as adverse to the denomination
of Mr.. Bryan because he would be
doomed TO defeat At the outset. There
has been no mare strenuous advocate

are saying since the election that "Bry-
an will not do"-and there are many
such-are not fair to the travelling can.
didate for the presidency. They were
entirely willing that Mr.. Bryan should
make an experiment with nonexpansion
or anti-imperialism or militarism as an
issue. Some weeks before the election
there was Il conference in Chicago of
those opposed to the presidents Phil
ippine policy. The men of national rep
utation, chiefly independents, who OPP
posed Mr.. Bryan in 1896 were reported
to be either present or consenting TO
the action that should be taken. These
men then declared that the silver ques-
ton should not stand as buffer be-
tween Mckinley and his Philippine poll
icy, as the expansion policy of the pres
ident was infinitely more dangerous to
the liberties of the people than the
free coinage of silver. Mr.. Carl Schurz
was very vehement in this sort of dec
laration. Some of them declared that
they would support Mr.. Bryan as
against the war policy of the president.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican de-
clared that each word of Mr.. Schurz's
speeches was worth thousand votes
against the policy of expansion. In
short, all the sympathizers with Agui-
naldo did whatever they could to in
duce Mr.. Bryan to champion the cause
of Aguinaldo in some form. He ac-
cepted the suggestions and advice of
these men. He wabbled about eXpan-
sion and the declaration of independ-
ence, and finally came out strong
against imperialism, and particularly
against miltarism.
In the late elections, except Nebraska,
the country declared for the presidents
policy where it had been made an issue.
Most of those who encouraged Mr..
Bryan to assail the presidents policy
now admit that any phase of the ques-
ton of expansion will not do in 1900
unless the president shall make some
blunder. Nor do they stop there; they
turn upon Mr.. Bryan and say that they
will be sure to be defeated in 1900 with
his sixteen to one and his additional
blunder of miitarism. This sort of de-
sertion is simply contemptibie. = In.
