Rides on Cleveland Street Cars-BOy-
colt Is the Wane.

Cleveland, O., Aug. Grand Chief
Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, has been reported to
the strikers for riding on the Big Con-
sO1idated cars, in disregard of the boy
colt. When asked if he patronized the
Big Consolidated cars Chief Arthur re-
replied: ''Of course I do. I ride on
them every day and whenever / have
occasion to do so. Do you suppose
am going to walk three miles down
town when the cars pass my doors? OF
course [ am not. This agitation and
the boycott are utterly ridiculous and
the strikers have gone altogether too
far" The cars were much better
patronized yesterday than on any other
day this week and it is thought that
the boycott is on the wane.

former employer. An artery in his arm
was opened and a tube containing
normal salts was inserted. connecting
it with a like opening in the arm OF
the patient. As the rich red blood
coursed into the depleted system of the
judge, signs of restoration were at
once apparent No an8sthetic had
been given, and he saw and felt the
glow of new life which was beginning
to warm his whole body. He immedi-
ately took on a new and fresher color.
The physicians recommended rest and
quiet and he was able to fall asleep
soon afterward.
