How Alexander the Great Celebrated
His Victory Over Darius.

How Alexander the Great Celebrated
Ills Victory Over Darius.
The newspaper reporters of the time
of Alexander the Great, had there been
any, would have had the heaviest
days work Of thir lives in covering
the interesting events that marked the
day Alexander was married. On that
day, says the New York Journal, au-
thenticated accounts tell us, no less
than 20 POP men and women were made
husbands and wives. Alexander had
conquered Darius of Persia, and felt
that this great achievement was i'm
portant enough to be signalized in a
conspicuous manner. Imagine the
pride of a conqueror who decides that
it can be measured properly only by a
wholesale giving and taking in mar
riage the like of Web the world has
never seen. Alexander himself mar
ried Statira, the daughter of the con-
quered king, and decreed that one
hundred of his chief officers should be
united to one hundred ladies from the
noblest Persian and Medean families.
In addition to this, he stipulated that
10000 of his Greek so.ulers should
marry 10000 Asiatic women. When
everything was settled vast pavilion
was erected, the pillars of which were
six feet high. One hundred gorgeous
chambers adjoined this for the hun
dred noble bridegrooms, while for the
10000 an outer court was Enclosed out
side of which tables were spread for
the multitude. Each pair had seats
and ranged themselves in semi-circles
around the royal throne. OF course
the priests could not marry this vast
number of couples in the ordinary
way, so Alexander the Great devised a
very simple ceremony. He gave his
hand to Statira and kissed her-an ex-
ample that all the bridegrooms fol-
lowed. This ended the ceremony.
Then followed the festival, which last
ed five days, the grandeur OF which
has never been equaled since

win Appeal to the President.

Philadelphia, June 13.-The United
Labor league of this city has taken up
the cause of the 1900 seamstresses,
mostly soldiers wives, widows and
daughters, who complain that the gov
eminent has soldiers clothing made by
contract taking from them their means
of livelihood. 1t is said $1,000,000
worth of contracts are to be given out,
and if so the seamstresses will have
no work at all. The league proposes
making a prompt appeal to President
Mckinley to stop the award of the new
$1,000,0 900 worth of advertised con-
tracts and let the 1900 women do the
work at the United States arsenal here.

Gen. A. S. Kimball, Depot Quarter
master of the u. S. Army, In New
York city, has sent to Lyman Me-
Carly Assistant General Passenger
Agent of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road in New York, letter OF thanks
for the prompt movement OF troops
that were ticketed over the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad during the past year.
He says that many of these movements
were made on short notice and his de-
partment had too frequently to rely
upon insufficient and sometimes mac
curate data. He realized that under
such circumstances the company was
placed in an embarrassing position and
the extraordinary efforts made by the
line to give satisfaction in every re-
spect merited and received his fullest
appreciation.

Advocate Withdrawal OF Troops.

Cincinnati, Ohio, June ia London
Ky.) special to the Times-Star says:
THE Baker-Howard feud, which has
demged Kentucky's mountain regions
with blood at intervals more or less
regular for the last fifty years, has been
reopened in all its bitterness by the
shooting of tom" Baker, the recog
nized leader in his faction, in the
courthouse yard of Manchester Sat
urday afternoon. Sheriff Beverly p,
White, prominent in the Howard ranks,
is under arrest for the crime. Many
persons advocate Withdrawing the
troops and allowing the men to fight
it out. They say similar action on
the part of Gov. Knott stopped the
Rowan county feud and the Pulaski
county feud."

Cleveland, June 13.-After a quiet
Sunday during which no attempt was
made to run cars the struggle between
the Cleveland Electric Railway com
pany (Big Consolidated) and its strik-
ing employees was renewed in lively
fashion today. The first car to leave
Lake View arrived at the square at 8
o'clock. A few hundred people were
waiting for 1t. The car was allowed to
depart, however, without any great
demonstration beyond the boots and
jeers of the crowd. When the second
car came a delegation of the strikers
boarded it and induced the motorman
to leave. He was given an ovation.
While the strikers were talking with
the motorman and conductor stones
and decayed vegetables were thrown.
A strong force of police finally charged
the crowd and dispersed them.
A number of rioters were arrested,
and many in the mob were slightly in
jured in conflicts. with the police, who
used their clubs freely. Women took
prominent part in the rloting at the
Nickel Plate crossing, hurting volleys
of stones at the cars. At noon the cars
were running at irregular intervals.
The state arbitration commissioners
met at IL o'clock and committee from
the strikers was present and waited an
hour in vain for the company's repre-
sentatives to appear. The company has
not announced that it will reject arbi-
tration, but it is given out unofficially
that 1t will not be represented before

the Rate OF Compensation.
Washington, June 13.-The navy de-
partment has issued a circular fixing
the salaries of navy officers under the
naval personnel bill. Admiral Dewey
will receive $13, 500 whether on duty at
sea or on shore. The senior rear-ad-
mira's pay is fixed at $500 at sea and
$6,375 on shore.
Rear Admiral Schley is on this list,
but receives the minimum amount, as
he is assigned to shore duty. The
junior rear admirals receive $500
while on sea duty and S4,677 on shore.
Rear Admiral Sampson is in the jun
ior list, but, having a command at sea,
receives the maximum pay. Should
Schley be given an assignment at sea
he would receive $4,000 a year more
than Sampson, but as it now is his
pay is 1915 more Captains receive
$500 at sea and $2,975 on shore.
