SUCCESS OF A PORTLAND BOY.

Portland people with sporting proolivi-
ties have OF late become greatly interest
ed in the continued success of the football
team representing the Westbrook Semi
nary, and much wonderment has been
expressed at the great improvement this
team has shown over those representing
the Seminary in former years. This team
has met and successfully defeated the
teams representing the Deering Athletic
club, and the University of Maine, be-
sides those representing minor schools
In the state.
= Much of the SUCCESS of this team must
be attributed to the excellent coaching
it has received at the hands of Mr.. Thom-
as j. Kelley, a Portland boy, and a mem
Der of the team representing the Portland
Athletic club in the past few years, and
it augurs we'll for the continued success
of the team that Mr.. Kelley is to remain
for the remainder of the season.

CAUSE OF STRIKE.
Electrical Workers Claim Rules Have
Been Violated.

Fourteen members and six helpers of
Local Union No. 26, the International Broth
crhood of Electrical Workers. walked out
of the National Electrical Supply Com
rany's place Wednesday morning, the cause
of the strike being alleged violation of
their working rules, adopted by an agree
ment entered into by the contractors and
workmen some time ago, and which the
former claim expired April l, 1900 The
workers say 1t Is still in force. Article Z,
Of the agreement reads: mo individual
firm or corporation signing the agreement
shall employ more than three apprentices or
helpers to five journeymen. The apprentice
to do no work except under the direction of
the journeymen." Article of the agree
ment provides: 1T is agreed to employ
only journeymen electrical workers, with
paid-up monthly working cards.
The union claims that the supply COM
work at Fort Washington. 1t is said the
contractors declare the man is only help
er. The union asserts that If the man be
a helper section 7 of the agreement has
been violated. in the man being allowed to
wcrk by himself. and if he be Journey
man, section S has been violated.
Since the inauguration of the strike a
committee from the union has asked the
contractors to dismiss the man objected to.
Negotiations have been in progress for the
past two days. An arbitration board, has
beer suggested and the union says this Is
acceptable, provided the Objectionable
worker is laid off, pending the action of the
beard. Here the matter rests at present.

Mrs Dean threw up the window and poured

rvs hat and blouse, running both articles.
She also snapped a pistol in the officer S
face.
Mrs. Dean said she threw the water on
the sergeant, but intended 1t for Mr.. Kelley,

had lost twenty-five pounds, and no> food seemed
to agree with her.
She further says: "At this time I induced

Coffee and was much pleased with the results
that have never been without 1t since. 1 COM

Chinamen in School.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In your issue Of October you rightly es-
pouse the cause of a young Chinaman,
seeking education. That this Chinaman, or
any other heather" should seek to better
his condition by good, wholesome and
moral education such as is obtained in our
public schools, is well and good. But let
the Chinaman in his quest of knowledge go
to the proper place. which Is not in any
class of white children. We have separate
schools for the negro children, and what a
howl would go up If a negro should claim
admission to a class of white children!
Still the average Chinaman who comes to
this country to hoard a few dollars and
then return to his own country Is not by
any means as good the average negro.
Then If the Chinaman must go to school
let him attend the negro schools.
