LATHEMEN STRIKE.

MENASHA, Wis, November 6.--The
establishment of the Menasha Wooden
ware Company, employing 1900 men,
shut down to-day as the result of a
strike of % lathemen. The employees
were recently offered an increase in
wages of rs per cent. on condition that
each lathe was to get out $50 more pals
per day. This was not satisfactory to
the men. AS the running of the works
depends on the lathemen, the plant was
closed down pending a settlement.

4 Fatal ACCIDENT
Oh the Terminal Line, on the Peninsula
Yesterday Morning.
RICHARD H. FISHER, OF THE
EIGHTH WARD. A WHEELING
AND LAKE ERIE BRAKEMAN,
HAD BOTH LEGS CUT OFF AND
DIED AT THE CITY HOSPITAL
ABOUT TEN O'CLOCK.

A. very regrettable accident which
resulted in the death of the victim, oc-
Cured on the line of the Terminal
railroad, on the Peninsula, yesterday
morning about a quarter of eight
o'clock. The victim was Richard II.
Fisher, of No. 4315 Jacob street. aged
about thirty years, married and having
a family consisting of wife and one
child.
Mr.. Fisher was only recently employ
ed by the Wheeling and Lake Erie, and
was on duty as a switchman. At the
time named yesterday morning shift
ing engine was working on the PENN
sula tracks, and Mr.. Fisher threw a
switch for it at the connection between
the main line and the branch connec-
ton with the B. & o., on the east side
of the Peninsula. The engine was APP
preaching as he did so, and Mr.. Fisher
caught one foot, probably in the switch
frog, and could not release himself.
The engine could not be stopped in
time and ran over him, practically sew
ering both legs at the thigh.
The train men at once went to his
assistance, and the city ambulance be-
ing called the wounded man was re-
moved to the City Hospital, where Drs.
Sehwinn and Linz were called. Surgi-
cal aid was of little avail, however,
and the wounded man died about ten
O'Clock.
The remains were taken to the I'M
dertaking establishment of Cooey,
Bentz & Co., to be prepared for burial
and later to his late home on South
Eoff street His wife and child reside
at Claysville, Pa. Mr.. Fisher has been
boarding with his mother in this city.
Glen Fisher, a brother of the deceased,
was killed in an accident at Board Tree
tunnel on the B. & o. road while dis
charging his duties as fireman four or
five years ago. The arrangements for
the funeral will probably be made to-
day. The body may be taken to
Claysville, Pa. for interment.

Bubject of the hour, replete in bril-
fiant comedy lines and amusing situa-
tons. Incidental to the play many
new, original anG unique specialties are
introduced by the principal members
of the company, which occur in nat

shaken off the dust of the ordinary
combination of farces and has weeded
out all the old conventional moss COW

cies, introducing a company of we'll

together with a chorus Of pretty girls,
handsomely costumed, and production
perfectly staged even to the smallest

which is unusual in farce comedies.

All over the country there are faith
ers, mothers and others who are des-
perately anxious about the welfare of
some brave "boy" who is marching
and fighting in the rice fields back of
Manila. The press and Government
dispatches tell of the dead and
wounded, but say nothing about the
sick or the well, and in no case give
the details for which friends and rela-
tives are waiting so YEARLY. Out in
Minnesota steps have been taken to
meet this want. A bill has passed the
Legislature appropriating $500 for
use by the Governor III paying cable
tolls at his discretion in securing in
formation about Minnesota soldiers
and conveying it to their friends. The
idea is a good one. The money is to
be made a contingent fund for the
Governor, to be especially drawn on
for the purpose specified.

DEWEY KNOWS HIS RIGHTS.
He Would Take No Orders From General
Otis.

Naval officers home from the Philip
pines have been divulging few Sc
crets which could hardly have become
public in any other way and which
have to do with the failure of the land
and naval commanders at Manila to
agree.
The story begins on the 1st of May,
when the then Commodore Dewey
achieved victory which will toll his
triumph through the ages, although
with singular modesty and courtesy
he left himself out in his report to the
department.
''By a combined attack of land and
sea forces we have taken Manila, was
the wording of his cablegram.
Then Merritt came and was made
Governor General of the islands which
Dewey had virtually taken. On the
memorable 18th of august four vessels
from Dewey's fleet wrecked Fort San
Antonio de Abad and gave the Spanish
forces their first stampede toward Ma.
late. That day General Merritt cabled
egotistically:
81 have captured Manila with the
moral support Of the navy"
Merritt was in the Philippines few
days over month. Then he went to
Paris, but Dewey declined to take
part in this mission, explaining that
he could do more good commanding
his fleet. There he remained, feeling
not little resentment over the fail
ure of General E. S. Otis, Merritt
successor as Military Governor, to
consult him about affairs of moment.
Otis rules with mailed hand, but
the Admiral plays his cards like vet
eran with good luck. When General
Alger cabled General Otis to send
troops to Iloilo under proper escort al
once, Otis sent to Dewey an order tc
prepare q convoy for transports forth
with. The Admiral's reply to this per
emptory command caused some sur
prise in the higher official circles, out
side of which it is still practically un
known.
''This is ticklish business" an
swered Dewey to Otis. 81 have nc
business at Iloilo," and he declined
to send any of his vessels there.
The Gather of the Philippines
wished his Government to know hi
was still on the earth and keeping VI
his end of the string. The expected
happened just as he desired. Otis re
ported to Washington and then there
came cablegram to Dewey directly
from Secretary Long telling him tt
convoy the transports to Iloilo. Or
ders straight from Washington t.
him rather than from Otis were wha
Dewey wanted and the Admiral NJ
longer found Iloilo "a ticklish b1si

Corporal John W. Hays, of Com
pay D, First California Volunteers,
who deserted last October, has been
found among the Filipino dead in the
uniform of an insurgent first lieuten-
ant. Corporal Hays married native
woman two days before he deserted.
He was a good man, one of the best
in the company, and slated for pro-
motion. It is the old story of the
renegade who figures so largely in
wars against saYages, in history and
in fiction. Some turned against their
country for mere love OF adventure,
and from reckless hatred of the tedium
of their lives; again, and they are the
most beloved of the romancer are they
that desert to the enemy for the love
of woman. Itperhaps is the strongest
motive of certainly that which

Ideal Work For Women.

The journals that devote themselves
to the affairs of women publish fire.
quently articles on the number of pur
suits which are open to progressive
members Of the fair sex, but we don't
remember to have seen any reference
to the splendid field which country
journalism offers. 1t is true that
there are already large numbers Of
women editors and that most of them
are successful, but wide experience
shows that most of them took up the
work because their husbands or some
relative had died and left the business
in their charge.
In other words, few women as o re-
suit of deliberate choice have started
papers of their own; those now in the
profession seem to have drifted there.
This fact is remarkable when one con-
siders how easy it is to beaip a pub
