which Were at about our closing figures.
Some strength was also voted in Baltimore
and Ohio stock
In the local stock market considerable
irregularity was shown at the opening.
Most of the list, however, opened lower
than Saturday closing prices and a little
selling movement developed in the carly
dealings, caused by lower London quota
uons and desire 10y some traders who had
bought on the breaks last week To take
profits.
In the industrials Peoples Gas and Ma
donal Lead stocks were features OF
strength, while the movements in the

Tons, acted In more normal manner IN
its movements than il has in some time

disposition to buy stocks moderately on
any display Of weakness

FIFTY THOUSAND MEN OUT.
Machinists in Various Sections Go on
Strike Today.


Fifty thousand machinists went on strike
at o'clock this morning for the nine-hour
work day and an increase of 121a per cent
In their pay. This is the estimate at 2
o'clock this afternoon OF President O'Con-
nell of the International Machinists' Asso-
citation.
$50 far we have not had reports from
very many sections said Mr.. O'Connel1.
but they are beginning to come in now.
Cincinnati seems to be the danger point at
the present time with 8 600 men out. There
are 900 men out at Scranton. Pa; 1900 at
Buffalo, 1000 at Hartford, Conn; 1000 at
Seneca Falls, n. Y. 800 at Ansonia Conn. !;
800 at Derby. Conn; 500 at Richmond. Va ;
800 at Norfolk. Va; 300 at Connellsville,
Ind: 300 at York, Pa; 900 at Palestine
Tex; 300 at East Orange, n. j., and six
shops at Ottawa, Canada. We have not
yet heard from any of the Pacific coast
cities.
LAS whole. the situation is about as I
expected. Firms are signing the agreement
very rapidly today. and the indications are
that by night 30 per cent of the employers
of the country will have acceded to the de-
mands of the men. My former estimate Of
the number of men affected may fall a lit
tie low, as the indications are TODAY that
in places where estimated 500 double that
number have gone out. However, there are
great many more firms signing than were
counted on so that to say that $1,000 are
out will be about correct"
The members of the executive board Of
the Machinists' Association are with Pres
ident O'Connell at headquarters today and
as the afternoon advanced they were all
kept busy reading kilograms which were
constantly pouring in from all sections In
most instances these dispatches simply told
of the number of men out and the hopefuI
condition of the strikers. Other messages
indicated the signing of more firms

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was sup posed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro. nounced it local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment pronounced 1t in- curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internal ly in doses from 10 drops to 8 teaspoonful.S It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case 1t fails to cure.

ASTONISHING GROWTH.
rhree Thousand Farm Districts Are Now
Covered by Free Rural Delivery OF Mail
-C0st Of Each Route.

Washington, May 13.-No develop
ment in the mechanism of government
has been SO astonishing as the adj
vance in the rural delivery service of
the post office department. Less than
half dozen years ago Assistant Post
master General Jones, of Illinois, re-
ported that the proposed rural free
delivery was not feasible. The entire
influence of the department was cast
against it, but congress insisted on an
experiment, which was continued for
some years. Now the free delivery of
letters in rural communities is only a
question of appropriations. There are
now in operation, only six years aft
er the department., under previous
administration, reported adversely,
no less than 5000 rural free delivery
routes. Each one of these routes
costs annually from $500 to $1,000. In
addition to these, about 500 routes
have already been ordered to be es-
tablished by July 1.

FOR SILK CULTURE.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson Believes
the Government Can Build Up q Great
Industry In the South.

Washington, May 49, Secretary
Wilson, of the department of agricul-
ture, is planning to introduce into
the United States the culture of the
silk worm and the weaving of silk
on an extensive scale. Secretary Will
sons plans for encouraging this in
dustry contemplate only the intro
duction of the silk worm, the weav-
ing will follow. He believes there is
a great field open to the farmers of
the south and southwest, especially
to the small farmers and poor folk.
The secretary believes, if he can get
congress to approprite $4,000, which
he believes is necessary for the pur-
pose of making the experiments, that
the $45 1000, 900 worth of raw silk inn
ported into the United States last
year will ultimately be produced in
this country and the money remain
here, to bring more comforts to the
poorer sections.
