this wonderful remedy. He says:

Now York July 1S.-The Brooklyn
trolley strike is still on and in all likeli

trouble for several days to come. The
striking motormen and conductors are
very earnest and they claim they are
gaining ground. On the other hand
the representatives Of the Brooklyn

night on they will experience no diff

shortly after ) O'Clock this morning.
Numbers of cars were run over the

was rot lived up To on any one of them
and a fair estimate OF the rolling stock
in operation would be about co per

During the day the police made sew

e. Described In o Word.

The members Of the Flemish Acad-
envy, of Anvers, recently determined to
frame word which would be readily
Ineligible to all who understand the
language Of Flanders and who had
ever seen a horseless carriage, and the
result was that after much deep
thought they framed the following
word: Observation-Disclosures
petrolrijtuig. This euphonious word
signifies "a carriage which Is worked
by means of petroleum, which travels
fast, which has no horses and which is
| not run on rails" This is, from one
point Of view, a fine example Of mul-
tum in parvo, but it may be questioned
whether one extraordinarily long WORD
Is preferable to half a dozen short
words. The Flemish people, however
think differently, and the academician!
Of Anyers have been highly compli
mented by them on their linguistic
lykill as seen in this unique word.

AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES.
Eng,ish Workmen Have Many Objections
to Their Introduction.

English Workmon Have Many Objections
to Their Introduction.
English workmen do not view with
complacency the introduction OF TINS
American locomotives On the Midland
railway. They are not only an az
front to their national pride, but they
see In them a positive menace to the
engineers trades union, which has
been one Of the most powerful IN all
Europe. The American locomotive IS
placed OH the rails IN Great Britain
at a cost of from 20 to 80 per cent less
than the British makers can produce
the same sort of machine. SO the
working OF the American locomotives
is watched with much moro than orol-
| nary interest by men on both sides OF
the ocean. II the machines can be
made thoroughly adapted to BRUSH
requirements at such saving OF cost
to the British railway companies, IL
means that the British maker must
produce them at a like cost or else
be thrown cut Of the market. Ihat
means lower wages to the British
workman, and against that he Will
fight with all his characteristic ob'
stinacy, as he has to the Introduction
of labor saving machinery. Even the
long drawn out and disastrous striKe
which made possible the Introduction
Of the American locomotive, has MOI
taught them the whole Of their lesson
There is even now proposition OF
foot that the union Of locomotive
drivers shall adopt rule prohlDltlns
members from handling an American
made locomotive, when the engineers
union shall reach the conclusion II
does, that the Introduction OF tn
American machine threatens seriousi!
the wages Of their trade.
