saw man in long black macintosh
and cape, wearing a white sailor hat,
passing her home, which is on one Of

Bridgeton, N. j., April PA minia-
ture strike was yesterday added to the
big strike of bottle blowers now pre-
vailing. Fifty tending and swapping
up boys at the Bridgeton glass works
struck for higher wages. The union
officials have not yet been able to per-
suade the boys to return to work. The
company is able to run only four shops
out OF seventeen. The company had
started up the works on a union basis
last Monday, having acceded to the
blowers demands. There were no
other developments yesterday in the
big strike. The Cumberland glass
company has so non-union men and
boys blowing bottles. The company
officials claim they will have many
more at work next week.

GENTLEMAN JACK.
A Short Story Of Mining Camp In
Nevada.

Short Story of . Mining Camp In
Nevada.
They called him "Gentleman Jack"
He came to the mining camp at Vir-
ginia City one summers day and asked
the superintendent for work. The miner
looked. at his questioners white hands,
frail figure and neat fitting clothes and
smiled. But the man insisted, and finally
the superintendent consented to allow
him to remain.
That night, when the miners returned to
camp, the newcomer was introduced to
them as Jack, the only name he gave. His
companions smiled as the superintendent
had smiled, and one, turning to his fell
lows, said, Gentleman Jack"
Jack took his place in the mines and
performed his share Of the labor. His
comrades gradually came to reseect the
man who, evidently unsccustomed to the
life they led, yet adapted himself to the
conditions as they knew them Time and
time again they sought 10 assist him, but
he would not permit 1t. Neither did he
talk Of himself. Once they happened to
hear him refer to Chicago, and It was un-
derstood 1t was his former home.

one day using dynamite to remove the
rock. After the explosion Jack was found
lying on the ground, crushed by the
weight Of huge bowldar. Tenderly they
bore him to the hillside. They thought
him dead. The blood oosed down his
pallid face. His eyes were closed. As
they stood about him the eyelids raised,
and smile spread over his features, fol-
lowed quickly by terrible look of pain.
His lips quivered, and. bending low, his
comrades heard q murmur of words.
Mother, have not forgotten" was
what he said. and then, in long drawn,
suffering sounds followed the words, "Our
Father-whioh art in heaven-hailowed
be thy name-thy will-be-done-on-
earth-as'- And then, though the Inns
continued to move, no sound was audible.
Those who watched knew, however, that
the prayer was finished.
The eyes again closed, the stained,
bruised lips smiled-Gentleman Jack
was dead. Who he was his comrades did
not know. But somewhere waiting
mother may understand as she reads

and words SO mclodious and pretty that
we can not help but reprint the chorus for

CHORUS
One has hair Of slyery gray,

One is gay aud youthful
While tho others bent and old.
Bat dearer than lifo are both to me,
And from neither would part,
One isiny mother, God bless her love her,
The other is my sweetheart.

ANTS BLAME The QUALITIES


For Condition which Nay Force an
Extra Lsxislative Session.
Harrisburg, April 21..--Anti-Quay
members Of the legislature held meet.
ing last evening and unanimously de-
cided to issue an address to the Repub-
licans Of Pennsylvania, IN which It ia
claimed that "The evils Of Quay and
Quayism against which we have been
and shall continue to contend, have
succeeded In forcing an adjournment
Of the legislature without the passage
Of any Of the laws for which there is
such crying need, and without the
election Of q United States senator.
The minority supporting Mr.. Quay has
been large enough to prevent the cleo
ton and has refused every PROPOSE
ton to elect some othehr man than
ex-senator Quay"
The session was remarkable, aside
from the long senatorial deadlock, in
that it passed few bills of general in
terest. The various schemes for the
betterment of the election system of
the commonwealth were defeated, as
were also the numerous propositions
for the completion of the capitol build
ing. The mercantile tax bill was the
most important of the numerous
schemes for raising revenue that passed
both branches and went 70 the gov
ernor for his action. The bills taxing
foreign and domestic beer and manu-
featuring corporations were defeated,
the former in the senate and the latter
in the house, as was also the revenue
bill framed by the Pennsylvania state
tax conference.
On account Of the failure Of the leg
islature to pass such legislation as
would have wiped out the deficiency Of
$3,500,000 in the state treasury and
covered sthe estimated ordinary ex-
penses Of the state government for
the next two years, 1t is not improb-
able that an extra session will be
called.
The appropriation of $1,000 to cover
the expense Of prosecuting men named
by the bribery investigating commit
tee was stricken out by conference
committee. but Mr.. Fow announces
that the men will be prosecuted, re-

party in power has claimed tho credit for

Montreal, April 21.-The exodus of
Canadians to New England this spring
is the heaviest for many years and is
causing the immigration officials some
uneasiness. The backward spring in
Canada, higher wages and improved
outlook in manufacturing towns in the
states, are the causes of the movement,
1t is estimated that almost 10000 per-
sons, large proportion of whom are
rench-Canadians, have crossed the
line this season. Usually at this time
the tide of travel favors Canada, but
this year the influx is very limited.
