An Odd Sort of Dinner.

John Hagart, the Scottish advocate.

to shoot, and, happening to pass Lord
P.'s property, he met his lordship. who
politely invited John to take, or, as he
said, to TAX, family dinner with him

John accepted the invitation, and
they all assembled at the hour Of din

at the head of the table and stewed
veal at the bottom, veal soup in the
middle, calf's head on one side Of the
soup and veal outlets on the other,
calf's foot jelly between the soup and
roast veal and calf's brains between
the stewed veal and the soup.

Anecdotes of Evarts.


One summer when William NJ. Evarts
was at his country home in Windsor.
VT, farmer who had followed his po-
litical career in the newspapers for
many years was extremely anxious to
see him in the flesh and drove IS miles
into town in order to catch a glimpse
of his idol.
Senator Evarts at that time was be-
ing entertained constantly, dining out
almost every night, and as he drove ot,t
Of his grounds to an appointment one
evening the farmer was lying in wait
for him in the road. The latter, seeing
the pale. ascetic face and meager form
of the famous statesman, was disap-

The VanDlPe Bat.


South America, especially Venezuela,
is the home Of the vampire bat, that
horrible animal whose blood sucking
propensities are SO well known. In
Venezuela the vampire when caught is
often made the subject of an expert
ment that is as curious as it is cruel,
though in connection with such loath-
some animal as this giant bat the cruel
ty is rather naturally lost sight of by
the people who have to suffer from its
ravages.
The vampire is captured in thick
cloth. 1t is then taken out, and through
it's two extended wings nails are driv-
en-, securing the animal to q door or a
wooden paling. A cigarette is then
At oAce the animals eyes shine
strangely, and it begins to puff the
smoke in and out with frenzied gasps,
its actions being exactly those of the
most hardened smoker. keeping firm
hold of the cigarette the while between
it's sharp, deadly teeth. When the Gig
arctic is nearly finished. a blow on the
head puts an end to the animals ex-
istence.
The extraordinary part CT the expert
ment lies in the fact that the bat does
not at once reject the cigarette, as he is
Of course at liberty to do. There are
many who affirm that the bat really
does enjoy the tobacco. The probabili
ty is that the animal is SO maddened
by fear and pain that he puffs away
unreasoningly and fiercely. his instinct
telling him that in the properties of the
tobacco lies oblivion.

WILL NOT LAST LONG.

An Operators Opinion of the Anthracite
Strike.
New YORK, Sept. l8.-Robert M. Oil.
phant, president of the Delaware ard
Hudson Coal company, said of the coal
strike:
II do not believe that the strike can
last, or that it will permanently affect
the price of coal in this city. There are
40, 900 men who go down to work in
the mines Of the anthracite coal region.
In their recent statement the labor
agitators declared that they had but
$71, 600 in their treasury. This
would mean that they can pay
each Of our men who go out at their
order the sum of so cents for one day.
This will not support great strike

He Used the Dye

Queen Margherita Of Italy was anx-
ious that her husband. King Humbert,
should follow the example of his ia
ther and tie fashion common among
elderly Piedmontese officers and dye
his hair. Her pleadings were in vain.
Seeing entreaty was in vain, the queen
had recourse to stratagem. She caused
quantity Of fine hair dye to be sent
from Paris and put in the kings dress
ing room, together with directions for
it's use. making, however, no allusion
to the subject. The king, too, said
nothing, though he could not fail to see
the pigments.
Now, the queen had large white
poodle OF which he was very fond.
What was her horror few days later
to see her pet come running into her
room with his snowy locks all turned
to a jet black. King Umberto had ex-
pended the dyes upon changing the
color Of the poodle's hair! From that
day forth the subject of hair dye was
dropped between the royal couple.

tlsa1ly No Proxress Made In the Efforts
to Bring About Arbitration.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. l8.-The great
est strike Of mine workers in the an.
thracite coal fields of Pennsylvania,
which represents practically the hard
coal output of The world, is in full blast.
According to President Mitchell of
the United Mine Workers of America,
who is personally directing the strike
from the headquarters at Hazleton, the
success of the first days effort to tie up
the mines exceeds the expectations OF
the miners officials. The hard coal
section is divided into four great dis
tricts, Lackawanna, Wyoming, Lehigh,
and Schuylkill. In the first two, repre-
senting nearly 10000 men, the tieup is
practically complete. Only one mine.
employing a few hundred men, is being
operated, and this the strikers say they
hope to close soon. In the Lehigh re-
gion the situation is stand-off, about
5000 of the 10000 mine employees hav-
ing quit work, principally because the
union
Has Comparatively Little Strength.
In the Schuylkill region the workers
there have no decided grievance as in
other districts and the strike was not
general in the upward of $4,000 men
employed. Indications, however, point
to the closing of some mines in the last
named district that operated during the
day despite the assertions of officials Of
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron company and other companies op.
Grating in the region that they will
continue their collieries in operation.
Nearly all the efforts Of the strike lead.
ers are being devoted to organizing the
men in the weak Schuylkill and Le-
high regions and their organizers and
officers are redoubling their efforts.
No violence worth mentioning has
marred the first day of the struggle.
Practically no progress has been made
in the efforts set on foot to bring about
a settlement of the trouble by arbitra-
ton.

Tampa. Fla. Nov. 15.-A miniature
riot broke out to-day at the gates OF
the cigar factory of Gonzales, Nora
& Co. Several hundred shots were
fired. No one was injured, and the
mob was dispersed by the police.
For several days trouble has been
brewing between the members of the
International Cigar Makers Union and
the Spanish Union known as the Re-
sistancia. Members of the Interna
tional Union have ~uit work in n num-
Der of factories, throwing about 1000
persons out of employment. The
Spanish Union is apparently not in
sympathy with the movement. and
about 500 of it's members continued at
work in the Gonzales factory. To-
day the Internationals marched up and
demanded that these men come out.
They were warned off the premises.
An International man tried to push his
way through the gates and was fired
upon by the Italian guard. A volley
was fired in reply from the street. The
front and sides of the building were
riddled. Those inside fired blindly
through the windows. No one was hit.
however. The police soon arrived and
dispersed the crowd.
All factories closed at noon, and to
prevent further trouble 100 extra po-
lice and a squad of deputy sheriffs
were sworn in.
