Lace-Making by Insane.

ace-making as an occupation for the
women patients at the Rochester insane
asylum is now an established industry,
according to DR.. A.. F. Kilbourn, su per.
intendent of the institution. The doc
tor says that in the little time in which
the patients have been employed along
this line the most excellent result have
been obtained, and it is his intention to
extend the idea and enlarge the indus
try as rapidly as possible. Occupation is
essential to the people in the insane hos
pitfalls, and while farm work: has been
sufficient for the men, there has always
been difficulty in providing the women
with work. This problem is now solved.
The lace produced is disposed of
readily to asylum visitors. Beside fur
nishing occupation, in several cases it
is believed it will furnish a means of
gaining livelihood when the patients
are DISCHARGED.

GENERAL STRIKE SITUATION.
sFuture-Charters of South Chicago
s. Steel Workers Revoked. =

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. Is. There were
few developments of Importance in
the great steel strike Wednesday. Lo-
cally tho strike seems to drag and in
terest7t to flag. Large numbers
of the strikers have gone away
either for recreation or to work, and
there has been scarcely any, <ex-
element: much. less disorder,
McKeesport and Wheeling are stirred
up periodically, but there has been no
violence at either place. Rumor again
settled the strike and lent hand to
restart the stilled mills of commerce.
It was related. that President Shaffer
had acknowledged that he could not
win; that the steel corporation feared
that it's rivals would profit by an ex-
tended strike, and that they were go
ing to settle. No shadow of confirma-
ton of the story was possible, The
general situation is thus briefly sum-
marized: I'D -
The spread Of the strike at McKeesport
and Wheeling has brought the number Of
men who answered the final strike order to
something over % 600 and increased the to-
tai number Of men rendered idle by the
three orders to about &, 600. Many Of the
men drawn into the movement. willingly
or unwillingly, continue to accept other
employment, and the exact number now
idle is guess. The strikers are fully In
control at McKeesport, Wheeling, Newcas-
tie, Bellaire and Mingo Junction and show
some strength here. The manufacturers
Youngstown, Columbus, the Kiskiminetas
valley, the tin plant at Monessen' and the
Carnegie group. OF the last named prop
erty some doubt is expressed as to the low
er union mill in Pittsburg. Some men have
left their places there, and the strikers
boast that they will close it down. 1t IS
running, however, and themanagers say it
cannot be stopped. Desertions from the
ranks of the strikers are reported from
Painters mill here, and the Crescent plant
In Cleveland, and the managers say that
1t Is only question of time before there Is
a. general break. The manufacturers have
made no effort to break the strike at Nc
keesport or Wheeling with nonunion men,
and have given no indication of their plans
In those districts. Both sides express their
satisfaction with the progress of the
strike. Encouraged by success in keeping
Monessen going and in opening their plant
at Cleveland. the officers of the American
lin Plate company are planning resump-
ton. with nonunion men at other points
They will not say what their next move
will be. but say that it will be made
quickly.
Chicago, Aug. 15.-The steel work
ers> of South Chicago Wednesday
night stood by their decision not to
strike. They refused to reconsider
their action of Sunday. AS a result
Michael F. Tighe, assistant secretary
to President Shaffer, of the Amalga-
mated association, revoked the char
ters of the two lodges, Lakeside
lodge, No. 9, and Commercial Lodge,
No. IA. .-..> i ~. ~,,.-:-... -.

Live Stock at the Fair

In 1900 the Minnesota State Fair
secured the national exhibit of the
American Hereford Breeders Associa-
ton, and with other animals shown set
forth the largest live stock display ever
made. In Chicago last fall: the Mime
sofa exhibit was eclipsed, but the Min
nesota men have now secured joint ex-
hibition by the Ameican Short-Horn
Breeders Association and the Hereford
people, with large accessions from many
other classes of breeders. The result
will be such gathering together of four
footed beasts as was never seen on the
face of the earth.
1t will be a great occasion for
farmers who wish to study breeds, and
for everyone who likes to see fine ami
NAL, or who may be interested in bet
tering the condition of the farming dis
