Trouble at the Silk Mill.

A report got abroad last evening that
the girls employed at the silk mill Of
the Klots Throwing company had gone
on strike. After diligent inquiry 1t was
found that the boys employed on the
night shift had struck for an increase
Of wages. The trouble was not adjust
ed and the mill did not work last even
ing.
Marcus Frieder the superintendent,
when asked for statement of the
trouble by Tribune man, laughed and
said that such things happened occa-
sionally. and also said that the night
shift would be laid off for a few days
until the boys We're willing to return
and that the day force would still con-
tinue at work, as there was no cause
for complaint among the girls. The
mill employs about 300 people, and as
work is slack Just at present the loss
of the night force will not inconveni-
ence the company.

delphia, and Charles Scott Spring Com pany's springs Philadelphia. If such arti- cles are needed in frst-cIass freight cars, then indeed they should be put into the 2,eeo cars that the seaboard Air Line has contracted for. The Age-Herald finds nothing in the article in the Press that goes to show that the specifications were beyond reason or founded on error.
 The truth is. the Seahoard Air Line is doubtless seeking the best cars for the least money. and 1t has awarded the con- tract as any other railroad or business man would have awarded 1t. Its engineer may have been over particular In drawing up the specifications upon which bids were invited, but the Press does not show wherein he erred, and until it does we see no reason to condemn a railroad that is endeavoring to bring into the South the best cars that can be constructed.

THE SHIRT WAIST MAN
From the New York Press.


 Talk about the shirt waist man is cheap You cannot force a fashion. It grows like Topsy. Even Wales cannot do it, nor could Worth. The undershirt man, for example, came a long time ago, and there was no arbiter to announce that he would arrive You find him in the number walks. He usually seeks employment as a machinist rolling mill hand, molder, printer, black smith, boilermaker, or journeyman in any occupation where heat and dirt are con- stantly encountered. He may wear a "b'iled' shirt at home or elsewhere, but at work he gets down to undershirt and 'galluses." The fashion obtains among all skilled labor. The days work done the mechanic washes at the common trough slips his "biled'' garment over the soled neither sark and hies homeward Some of the more cleanly remove the sark, hanging it on a convenient peg for the morrow Another class of laborers has long worn the jumper as a distinctive uniform It is green checked cotton blouse, unbelted at the waist, particularly fancied by sea- men and stevedores, hotel porters and all hand-truck men.

wU BURNS HIS BRIDGES

Washington Telegram to the St. Louis
 Globe Democrat.
 The relations with the Chinese Minister at Washington are, the surface, friendly and will continue so. Signs of weakening are apparent in the advices which Minister Wu is presenting in the edicts from Pekin. The Chinese Minister appreciates to the fullest extent the dangers impending for his government should the foreign ministers be sacrificed.
 He has gone so far in his representations as to threaten his own safety. In fact, the State Department is convinced that Min ister Wu has burned all his bridges behind him, and would not dare to return to his own country should he receive orders to that effect. So long as Wu is in official re- lations with his government, he is an in- portant ally in the existing difficulties But should a severance of official relations be compelled in the dreadful alternative of war, Minister Wu will receive his pass ports. III this contingency, it is understood, the Chinese minister will remain in the United States to practice law for living.

 A fool at 20 may be wise at 40.
 One hour in the future is worth dozen in the past.
 Envy produces hatred and pity borders on contempt.
 The husband is apt to be pensive if the wife is expensive.
 Ouack doctors are probably so called be- cause of their bills. A hen lays during the day but at night she becomes a rooster.
 A dollar in the pocket is better than a hundred in expectation.
 The whip may be used in the circus ring, but not in the wedding ring
 One man may teach another to speak, but no man can teach another to think. Adversity is the sieve of friendship used to separate the wheat from the chan. lest he incur the displeasure of his credi- tor.
 Experience is sort of compass that a man seldom thinks of consulting until af- ter he has lost his way.
 In conversation wise man is metimes at loss how to begin. but a fool never knows when to stop.
 A spfnster says that an old bachelor is a man who has neglected his opportunity to make some woman miserable for life.
 Wise is the man who is attentive to what is going on in his own housS, but blind to what occurs in the house of his neighbor.

TRULY REEAEs

From the Ohio State Journal
 The boys of Columbus, especially those who live in the neighborhood of the deaf and dumb asylum, have fought and play ed with the inmates of the same for so many years that it is no uncommon thing for them to be almost as familiar with the sign language as though compelled to use it. So there was nothing unusual in the sight the other day of a boy who was ask ing some questions verbally of compan- ion and then telegraphing his answers with his fingers to a deaf-mute over in the grounds. A country woman, who was passing, however, stared at him, non- plussed for a moment. and then, catching her daughters arm, exclaimed: "Oh. look.

Bids for Armor Plate.

The Bethlehem Carnegie combine has a Midvale, Pa The combine wants $491 a ton, while the Midvale Company will fur nish plate at s43S ton. For class ar nor the combine wants si4l.20 ton, and the Midvale Company offers to furnish it at s3S0 a ton. For class c armor the com bine asks sf00 ton; the Midvales bid is not published if it made one at all. For the bolts and nuts needed the combine demands s400 a ton, and the Midvale of fers to furnish them at $327 a ton The combine impudently makes it a condition of its bids that naval officers shall not be detailed to watch it's process of making armor plate.
 Both of these bids are clearly proven by testimony in the hands of the Navy De- partment to be at least double real cost, and Secretary Long must decide not only as between the bids of the combine and of the Midvale Company, but also as between a government armor plate plant and con- tract plate.
 As about $s0, GOO Oo is involved in the con- tract Secretary Long has job on his hands that is freighted with interest to the country and to his party. If the combines S bids are accepted, some reasons of defi- nite nature will be needed if the taxpay- CTS are to be reconciled to it. If the charges that campaign subscriptions of all most fabulous amount are tied up in the pending contract are to be dispelled then something plain and positive will have to be presented to the public as a justifica ton Of such action A great government should not in such an important matter be at the mercy of combine, especially one that refuses to let naval officers watch it's methods.

Sr oaIY nAIIT NEWSPAPER IN ALAsAHA
British Bonds in America.

Great Britain recently offered a war loan three years The new loan was offered at @. The buyers of the new bonds will there fore receive over 3 per cent interest, against ? per cent paid by the United States on the new "consols" The latter are now worth 102l2. When the United States can borrow at home money at 2 per cent. and Great Britain seeks a per cent loan in this country, it must be admitted that the world as well as the sun do move. This is now the creditor nation.
 One-half of the new British loan was al- lotted to this country In this way England secures some of our gold, and she also se- cures for the time being a good many in- fuential friends in this country. British gold may not be in American politics, but British bonds certainly will be in Ameri- can vaults.
 While finance and politics may have much to do with the placing of half of the Brit ish loan in this country, yet it undoubtedly foreshadows the quick coming time when all good European government loans will be financed in this country Our own govern ment pays only per cent, and countries that pay much more will gain a hearing at least, and New York will gradually be- come the worlds financial center, and Ion- don will have to accept second place

DRESSING FOR THE WEATHER

From the New York World.
 This shirt waist man. may be the pio- neer in a new forward movement toward the complete emancipation of man from the thraldom of a stupid conyentionality. The most of the people of the United States live for at least three months in the tropics. But with a conservatism that is characteristic they have clung tenaciously to clothing intended for cool climates One by one these heavy garments-top boots, thick suits, hot and heavy hats-have been abandoned. The coat may be next to go. The reform, when it starts, will probably start in the country and gradually force it's way into the city It is easy to imagine a day when American men will adapt their dress to the weather and cease to defy the sun and sense.

SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY
Preferred the Manhattan

The well known eonservatism-his ene mics call it stubbonness-of the Hon. Eu- gene Hale. senior United States Senator from Maine, does not extend to the mat ter of Manhattan cocktails, relates the New York Commercial. Long years in public life and among all sorts and condi dons of public men have taught him to be conventional in this regard. Down in Maine they have an absurd habit of shak- ing up cocktails violently in a mixer, after the manner of making punch, and the cloudy, fermenting, bubbling decoction that comes out into the glass is forhidding alike to the eye and to the palate of man accustomed to the clear article that has been deftly stirred in cracked ice by an artist in mixology.
 Hale's temper was not at all times of the most serene quaEty, nor does he have it under that complete control that should always mark the statesman or diplomat. The story goes that the Senator's opposi- tion to the Spanish war and his attitude of codness toward the policy of the admlnis- tration did not put him in bad odor with his party leaders down in Maine and Jeopardize his return to the Senate half so much as his open criticism of a we'll known leader, heretofore a warm supporter of his, for offering him a shaker cocktail It was in well known club in one of the Kennebec Valley cities, and in the presence of nearly a dozen men eminent and in- fluential in Republican councils.
 Take that thing awayl' Hale is reported to have said. "rd as soon think of drink ing lemonade sweetened with gunpowderl''
 And the eminent citizen who had spent fully three minutes in vigorously shaking the mixture, innocently believing "the more shakes the better,' was deeply humiliated and sorely offended, and it took all the in- huence of his fellows to dissuade him from making open warfare on Hale with another Senatorial candidate.

New Seahoard Contract.

A copy of the Savannah Press comes to us from an unknown source displaying, about an article devoted to the new con- tract of the Seaboard Air Line a wealth of blue pencil The entire article is set in blue, and the comments in it are tinged with the same color. The South is ruined because contract for 2,e0O cars has been awarded to the Baltimore car works. and Baltimore is not on the line of the seaboard Air Line, and contributes little to its sup- port.
 There is really little occasion for this out burst of indignation. The trouble arose In this way: In the specifications sent out by the seahoard Air Line these things were called for in the construction of the ooo cars in auestion--transoms from the Ameri- can Steel Casting Company of Chester.
