A LABOR DISPUTE SETTLED.
The Charles Schneider BnlSing Com
pany Difficulty Adiusted.

p5ny DiUtcuIty Adjusted.
The differences between the Charles
Schneider Baking Company and the Bakers
and Confectionery Union, No. 112, have
been satisfactorily settled. This announce
ment was made last night at a meeting
of the union by John Weber. the Presi-
dent. who was a member Of the confer
ence at which the agreement was reached.
IL was stated that at conference held on
Thursday between Mr.. Schneider and rep
resentatives of Union No. us, and Mil
ford Spohn and Sam De Nedry, representing
the Central Labor Union, the differences
were thoroughly discussed. but that an
adjustment was not made until yesterday.
At that time it was understood that oil
the bakers and bakers drivers employed
by Mr.. Schneider in III. conduct OF his
business would at once sever their con-
nection with the labor organizations TO
which they belonged and affiliate them
selves with Bakers and Confectioners
Union, No. lis, which is allied with the
Central Labor Union. in keeping with this
part of the agreement il was stated by Mr..
Weber that last night twenty-six OF the
journeymen bakers and confectioners who
had been employed by Mr.. Schneider and
belonged to the Knights of Labor, applied
for admission and were enrolled as mem
beers of Bakers and Confectioners' Union,
No liS In connection with this il may
be said that Mr. Weber also stated that
the sixteen bakers drivers employed by
Mr.. Schneider. who are also AFFILIATED with
the knights OF Labor. have already APP
piled for membership in Bakers Drivers
Union, No. SO. which is allied with the
Central Labor Union.
The trouble between the Bakers and
Confectioners' Union and the Charles
Schneider Baking Company has extended
over a period OF about three weeks, and is
the outgrowth of the alleged discharge of
two members of Bakers and Confectioners'
Union, No. us. All of the employees in
the Schneider baking establishment at that
time il is stated. were affiliated with the
Knights of Labor. As result of the
agreement reached yesterday, il is stated
that in the future all of the employees will
be trades unionists. According to the
terms of the contract entered into between
the representatives of the Bakers and
Confctioners Union and Mr.. Schneider, 1t
is agreed that
THE Charles Schneider Baking Company
agrees that all employees of the company,
namely. bakers. bakers drivers. and en-
gineers. shall be members of unions allied
with and recognized by the Central Labor
Union OF Washington. d. c. In considera-
ton of the faithful performance OF this
agreement upon the part OF the Charles
Schneider Baking Company, the Central
Labor Union of Washington. ID. C., and
Bakers and Confectionery Union, No. 11s,
promise and agree to recognize the Charles
Schneider Baking Company as friendly to
organized labor and recommend its product
TO the membership OF the various organi-
nations allied with the Central Labor
Cnion."

PASSED ALLEGED BAD MONEY.
Two Men Locked Up by the Authori-
ties at Alexandria.

James Barry and Richard L. Clark were
the names given by two men who were
taken into custody last night in Alexandria
and locked up. charged with passing eoun-
erfeit silver dollars. They are held to
await a hearing tomorrow morning before
Mayor Simpson, and will probably be sur
rendered to the Secret Service authorities.
small amount of alleged counterfeit coin
was found upon the prisoners when
searched at police headquarters in that
city.
The Alexandria police were notified early
last evening that two suspicious characters
had arrived in town, and Mr.. James Nc
Keunes. who conducts a small grocery at
the corner of Wolfe and Fairfax Streets
complained that he had been yictimizea by
them. he stated at police headquarters
that one Of the prisoners had passed
counterfeit silver dollar at his place of
business. Mr. Henry Phillips soon reached
the police station with report that he
had received bogus silver dollar in deal
ing at a store, and investigation revealed.
it is said, that the coin came from tie men
under arrest.
Having obtained description OF the
mer. policemen finally located them ard
placed them under arrest. At headquarters
they were searched by Lieutenant Smith
and officer Sherwood From EaIiy the
police took S2.S5 in silver and paper dol
lar. while his companion had about So In

tickets from Baltimore. Md, Were also
found upon the prisoners.

ONLY A CIRCUS CLOWN.
Hut Dan Rice's Virtues Claim His
FeiIowmen's hespect.

from the Brooklyn Eagie)
Whatever may have been his art. il 1t
deserves that name. Dan Rice earned the
liking of his countrymen by his personal
qualities of kindness and good nature
With him 10 have was to spend, and. IN
der somewhat rough exterior. he had a
vein OF sentiment and a regard for religion
that were strangely in contrast with his
vocation. at least in the common view OF
his calling He made his apprentices read
the Bible 10 him; he read Shakespeare and
Byron. if il were only TO get points for
jokes from their plays and poems: he built
churches for the negroes in the South: he
lectured on temperance. and gave practi-
cal exhibitions on the desirability OF that
virtue; he built S35,u50 soldiers monu-
ment in a town where he could not borrow
s. soon after: he gave So. eco to the Gov
eminent for the care or wounded soldiers:
he was generous toward charitable enter
prises. he could not resist an appeal from
the POOR. In striking a balance it will be
found that poor Dan Rice's virtues far out
weighed his infelicities OF temperament
and experience. He was only circus
clown. but if the world had a dozen such
in every land ii would be a brighter hap
pier woFld than il is.

further improvement can be made. There
is railroad man in this city who, a num-
Der of years ago, lost his leg in an acct

d favorable position and he was fitted out
with a leg so perfect that II is impossible
for anyone TO detect his infirmity. He is
an athlete the champion OF his class; can
dance as well as most men who not

Artificial arms have not reached the

SUN WORSHIP IN CHICAGO.
Ambition of n Persian Priest in "a
Prairie City.

From the New York Commercial Advertissr)
A Persian priest is trying his luck in
Chicago, intent upon establishing a tempe
dedicated to sun worship. Some may think
this is one of the results OF the parliament
of religions at Chicago few years ago,
where the invitation to representatives OF
eastern religions to come and say what
they could was said to have excited quite
cheerful hopes of future propasandism
This Persian priest, however. is net SO
much OF a joke as was Alexander Russell
Webb's attempt TO set up little mosques on
the uncongenial soil of England and Ameri-
ca Webb was at one time an American
Government official, who had lived in India.
and after embracing Mohammed2nism
came to Chicago to take his chance with
other religious freaks that had hearing
before the congress during the World
Fair. Afterward he started enc little
mosque in Liverpool, but utterly failed 10
get footing here.
The attempt Of this Persian is different
sort of thing. Ii has funny contrasts.
Chicago hustle and Persian sun Worship
are not exactly adapted to speedy acquain
tance. except that some shrewd citizen
there may see something with a practi al
turn in it where the Persian priest sees
only mystery without Western explana-
lions. But we doubt if the priest can't
make just as much Roadway in his cam
paign for Persian IDEAS as some Western
idea pioneers have made in the East.
Boundless fun is poked at Europeans who
have explained" Western thought and re-
ligion in Japan and India. and at one of
Joseph Cooks lectures in Calcutta Brain
min on the platform is reported to have
smiled continuously at the enlightenment
offered him. kipling's poems and stories
dealing with Eastern life have Jared ii.sie

worship in the vicinity OF the Chicago
drainage canal Is not such a show after all.
There have been others. The East a0es

edness of its Western enlighteners. nut at

Programme.
Some changes in the series OF Civic Cen
tire lectures. which are being given at the

held at the close of the lectures, they viii
be conducted under the auspices OF the
Capital Social Science Club. but they will
be open to the general public without

THE SHOOTING OF MoY SING.
Efforts of the Police 10 Catch the
Cu1prit.


The condition of Moy Sing. the China
man who was shot and dangerously wound
ed by negro burglar at his laundry. cor
ner Tenth and Streets northwest, yes
terday morning about o'clock, was re-
ported unchanged at the Homeopathic
Hospital last night. The x-ray will be
used upon the patient this Morhing and
the hospital physicians expect TO locate
the bullet which will be early removed by
an operation.
Meanwhile the police authorities are
working upon the case, but at late hour
last night the statement was made by
Inspector Boardman that no definite clew
had been found to the identity Of the bur-
glar Two negroes were taken into GUS
tody last night by the police on suspicion
of being implicated in the burglary and as
sauIt. but their release may follow for
lack OF evidence against them.
The shooting Of Moy Sing, resulting from
an attempt by him to apprehend 4 negro
who had forced an entrance into his laun-
dry. created excitement among Cinnamon
The burglar first obtained an entrance to
side door of the little shop, and after
making hasty search for valuabies
walked boldly into the rear room Of the
building on the first floor. There Moy
turned up light the Chinaman awoke and
leaned from his couch for the intruder.
The negro drew back several feet against
the wall of the kitchen and without
word pulled out a revolver and fired at the
Chinaman. The bullet struck Moy Sing
lust over the heart and he began TO call
Justify for help, and the burglar hastily
left the place. In his retreat the thief
forgot to carry away his overcoat and

These were found by the police during an
investigation later in the day.
Thomas Hall. colored, and his wife, who
live in a room in the rear of the laundry,
went TO the assistance of the Chinaman.
He was accompanied by Hall to the iaun-
dry OF his cousin, Sing Lee, where notice
was sent to the police of the shooting, and
later the injured Celestial was removed to
the Homeopathic Hospital. There stimu-
lants were administered and the patient
placed in a ward.
Word of the shooting reached headquar-
ters about O'Clock. When Inspector
Boardman arrived, soon afterward, he de-
tailed Detectives Muller. Lacey. and
Brown upon the case and they worked all
yesterday without apparent result, assist
ed By the police of the Second precinct.
Late in the day Major Sylvester decided to
offer a reward of $50 for the arrest of the
burglar A clew developed last night
which gave some promise of arrests. but
no information could be obtained regard
ing the theory OF the police.

THE MONTANA ENQUIRY
Details of Arguments by Opposing
Counsel Agreed Upon.
The senate Committee GU Privileges
and Elections Adopts n Programme
Concerning the Conclusion of the
Clark Case One or Two of the
Witnesses VIII BE Detained.

The Montana Senatorial enquiry was
no more Witnesses to be examined on
either side; but it is possible that The
committee may still call one or TWO.
At least, that suggestion has been made
by Senator Hoar, who has acted as chair
man for the last week In the absence Of
Senator Chandler who is i'll. The exami-
nation has been in progress with but few
intermissions since January 5. and the
testimony taken fills four large printed
volumes, containing in all about $500
pages.
When the Committee on Privileges and
Elections met yesterday morning there
was an Interchange of views between the
commtte and counsel as to the time to be
allowed for preparation of the closing ar
guments. Mr.. Hoar stated it to be the
desire of the committee that there should
be carefully prepared printed briefs en-
each side. and that oral arguments should
afterwsrd be made.
Mr. Edmunds, on the one side, and Mr..
Faulkner On the other, concurred in that
suggestion. and period of two weeks was
allowed for the preparation of the briefs.
AS to the oral arguments the committee
assigned six hours for each side-the anti
Clark lawyers to have the right to open
and close.
After private consultation of the COM
mittee the definite arrangements were an
nounced by Mr.. Hoar in these words:
THE oral arguments shall proceed on
Tuesday. March 90 at 1880 in the fore
noon. The committee has made no order
requiring either party to furnish copy
of its brief to the other but it might be
well for counsel to agree to do so-aiso
to furnish a copy to each member OF the
committee Counsel on both sides sig
niied their assent.) One or two witnesses
will be detained in case the committee
may deem it desirable to examine them
further.
The conclusion of the case attracted lit
lie attention. owing to the announcement
made on Friday that the business of Sat
urday would be simply to determine the

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness IS
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing. and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the result
and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an iniiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
