ing Rapidly.

factory to the Men.

After being out on the strike for near.
iy six weeks and drawing money from
the machinists' union all of that time,
four machinists and one handy man re-
turned to work yesterday morning to the
utter disgust of all their fellow-work-
men. Three OF the machinists, Duncan
Thatcher, William Crosley and Anthony
Reybold, returned to the Harlan a. Hol-
aingswOrth shop. Samuel Darlington,
another said machinist, went to work at
che j. Morton Poole Company. Daniel
Jester, the handy man, also reported to
the Harlan " Hollingsworth shop.
All of the above mentioned men We're
non-,inion men with the exception of
Darlington. He was member of the
new Delaware Lodge of Machinists
lie was also a memlI>r Of the strikers
ADVISORY board and was thought by n few
or the machinists to be Il man Of ut
least some backbone. Others say that
they always thought him weak on the
snort day movement and We're not sur
priSed at his action yesterday.
The other four men, although not mem
bers OF the union, We're practically kept
by the union since the strike was started.
None or them eyer forgot to stop at the
strikers headquarters and get their
money ON pay day. The union strikers
say that necessity was not the cause of
any OF the live men returning to work.
Although large amount was not re-
ceiyed from the union each week It is
claimed Mat they could easily have
pulled through ON il had il been ex-
pended in the proper way. ~
Several of the five men are said to he
worth some money and not a one Of
Them was in any present need of assist
anee. Notwithstanding all of these facts
the men broke.their agreements with the
union and returned to work. Duncan
Thatcher, one of the men, is said to be
worth considerable money. Samuel Dar-
Hnston is also fairly well fixed financ-
iaiiy. prominent machinist in speok-
ing of the matter last night said: sTt
y very unfortunate affair and the
men themselves will no doubt be tbe
losers in the long run. Such step will

TwO COLORED MEETINGS.

The colored voters of the Eighth ward
held two rousing Republican meetings last
night. The first meeting was held at the
corner of Michigan and Spring streets and

of whom evinced a deep interest in the
short political talks which were made to
them by Prosecutor Ruckelshaus, James +.
Collins. James II. Lott and Louis G. Bauer.
As soon as one speaker would conclude his
remarks he would hasten away to the sec
ond meeting at the corner of Pratt and
Oriental streets, where a crowd Of colored
voters nearly as lang e and quite as en-
thusiastic were m The remarks
of the speakers were particularly addressed
to the outrages which the present admins
tration has permitted the colored people to
suffer at the hands of the "BungalOOs. y

DAY WILL BE SET ASIDE
INDIANA SCHOOLS WILL OBSERVE
HARRISON MEMORIAL DAY.
Contributions VIII he Accepted from
ChiIdren-GeneraI Foster Dis
cusses the Memorial.

An unusually interesting meeting of the
Harrison Memorial Association was held
at the University Club last night. There
was a full attendance of members OF the
association. and the guest Of honor was
General John w. Foster, the distinguished
diplomat and ex-member of President Har-
rison's Cabinet. superintendent of Public
instruction Jones appeared before the as
sociation by special invitation, and con-
ferred with the members in regard 10 a
plan for raising money for the memorial
among the school children of Indiana. Pro-
fessor Jones gave his hearty consent to
the associations request that he issue a
proclamation setting aside a certain day
as Harrison Memorial day in the public
schools of the State. On this day special
programmes will be observed in the schools
and contributions will be accepted from
the children. A limit will be placed upon
the amount that any child may contribute.
the reason for this being that if no limit
were hxed the poorer children would be
embarrassed by the larger contributions
from those better off financially. Professor
Jones was informed by the association tina
in all probability subscriptions will not
be solicited from school children for the
Mckinley memorial, and he therefore de-
cided not TO postpone action on the Harri-
son memorial subscriptions until he could
communicate with the Mckinley Memorial
Association and ascertain its plans.
Most of the members of the association
made brief informal talks touching upon
the plans Of the association and express
ing their qualification with the success of
the movement thus far. All declared them
selves ready and willing to take off their
coats and do the hardest kind of work
needed to raise the amount necessary to
erect a fitting memorial to Indiana'S dis
tinguished son. Several men who have
already subscribed large amounts said
they were thinking seriously of doubling
their subscriptions.
General Foster was asked for an express
sion concerning the meeting and the pros
poets for the association realizing its aims.

citation in excellent shape" he said, land
