PHILADELPHIA, April 5.-Committees
of the Journeymen Bricklayers' Protec-
tive association, and the Master Brick
layers association, were in conference
for several hours today with a view to
ending the strike of the men for an ad-
vance Of wages from 371a cents an hour
to 45 cents. The conference was unpro-
ductive, however, the employmers COM
mittee declining to agree to sign the
scale, although agreeing to the advance.
This leaves the situation as 1t was
late Monday night, when the employers
organization agreed to pay the advance,
but would not sign. The question will
again be discussed by the employers to-
morrow night. In the meantime the
strike OF the 5000 bricklayers will con-
tinue. Should the employers again de-
cline to sign the journeymen will prob
ably permit men to work for those in
dividual master brieklayers who have al
ready affixed their signatures to the
scale.

A Cure Tint Killed.

Notwithstanding the spread of edu-
cation in Galicia, superstition is still
alive among the Polish peasantry. The
wife of we'll to do country man in
Nleporenta, Kaspar Kafka. had a ma
ignant ulcer and was in very dan
gerous state. Her husband decided to
call in a shepherd renowned for his
wonderful healing powers.
The latter, having examined his pa
tient, proceeded to tie her left elbow
to her right knee and her left knee to
her right elbow, announced that she
was possessed with a devil and direct
ed them to anoint the ulcer with a
mixture Of soft soap and Is chopped
hairs from a horses tail If the pa
tient screamed. it was the devil
screaming within her. and she was to
be left alone, securely bound to the
bed, that she might not remove the
appliance. He then took his fee and
left.
His orders were conscientiously car
ried out. with the result that after
night of indescribable agony the poor
woman died Of exhaustion.-Crac

Hard on the Burglar.

''There is family in my town." said

Paraguay. Particular FIea..

Perhaps the plague in Paraguay is
merely an attack Of pigue, or sand flea.
This insect is called nigua in the native
language. In 1870 it killed a whole
colony Of Englishmen, consisting of
200 families, turning the colony, which
was at Itape, into cemetery. A Ger
man colony at Acegua was driven out
The pigue causes buboes and attacks
the warmest parts of the body-that is,
the cavities and the groin and armpit-
just the same spots as the eastern
plague. 1t attacks Englishmen and
Germans preferentially and avoids
those that use but little soap. Soaps
clean the body, and the pigue likes
clean persons to eat. 1t also avoids
people who eat more or less poisonous
food. A man saturated with alcohols,
Boca gin, nicotine and Paseo de Julio
cookery is pretty well safe from the
sand fea.-Buenos Ayres Herald.

Future of ArmOred Trains.

We see no reason why armored
trains should not be made far more
formidable and effective, and we think
therein lies a field, if a somewhat re-
stricted one for the ingenuity of our
engineers. A train might be con-
structed to carry very heavy armor
and guns of large caliber. Most of
our readers are aware, of course, that
a number of American locomotives
weigh upward of 100 tons. What,
therefore, is to prevent plate,
in the true sense of the word, being
employed on heavily and strongly
built locomotives and cars for effective
operations. A train so constructed
could cover a wide range, and doubt
less by the employment of pilot or
scout" engine of smaller and swifter
caliber, carrying only a single small
truck, properly protected and armed
with Maxims, Nordenfeldts or Cat
lings, interference with the line could
be effectually prevented.

The Reason for 1T.

He had come into the office to secure
a game license. Before making appli-
cation he did considerable blowing
about what luck he had always had
and how much greater it was to be this
season. Briefly, he made the clerk
tired.
He was asked the usual questions
when he applied for the license.
"What's your name?"
"How old are you?
"What's your mothers maiden
name?"
"What's your fathers name"
"Where do you live?'
"Say, look here" said the hunter
bold, whats all this nonsense for,
anyway? What difference does it
make where live and all that?'
"Just to assist the coroner in dis
posing of the remains when you are
returned" replied the clerk without
looking up.
And three or four in the room, with
great unkindness, laughed harshly.

''The Scots Gurads advanced 600
yards before they were fired on Then
they had to lie down to escape the
deadly fusillade, which lasted without
intermissiOn throughout the day. The
HighlanderS made several attempts to
force a passage of the river, but they
were exposed to such a murderous en-
filading fire that they had to retire aft
er they had suffered terribly. Suisse
Quently party of the guards got over
and held their own for hours against
a vastly superior force. The general
opinion of the staff is that there had
never been such sustained fire in the.
annals Of the British army as that
which our troops had to face yester-
day. Our men fell in dozens while try
ing to rush the bridge.
Among the many heroic deeds one
of the most conspicuous was that Of

fire all day. and fearful havoc was
wrought in the BOer positions, the en-
envy being forced to fly from their en-

with them, and we are now occupying

London, Dec. 5.-Julian Ralph, de-
scribing in The Daily Mail yesterday
morning the battle at Modder river,
says: Il can testify that the British
never once saw tie enemy, yet they
were not able to raise hand or foot
without being riddled. Despite all this,
however, the day belonged to the artil-
lery. The infantry never advanced

There is a large expanse of rolling

reasons for this. Fort Columbus is the

in keeping with it's high standing in

1t also has military prison, and the
