Pittsburg. Aug. 14-Ten men, five
Of them skilled, quit at the lower union
mill of the Carnegie company in Pitts
burg yesterday and Joined the strikers.
Their detection represent the first
break in the Carnegie forces Of more
than $1,000 men. The strikers were
iubilant over the incident, but the COM
pany claims to have filed their places
at once and that there will be no more
desertions at any of the plants. The
Bellaire plant at which the men struck
on Sunday was finally closed down
yesterday, after working short handed
until Monday afternoon. When an
other start will be made is profile
NAUTICAL. Several hundred boys, en-
| ployed at the National Tube works at
McKeesport, went out during the night
and day and their action materially
aided the effort of the strikers to final
" tie the plant up. The works are go
ing ahead short handed, but the ranks
of the workers are thinning and the
| supply of material is limited. The
/ strikers made gains at Pittsburg, and
Wheeling also, in the last "a hours
but the advantage is still with the
mill owners. Reports of breaks in the
ranks at Painters and New Castle are
, denied by the strike leaders.
So far good order has prevailed, al
though the steel officials assert tina
there has been intimidation at Wheel
: ing, McKeesport and Pittsburg. Presi
dent Shaffer, Of the Amalgamated As

BUYTNG LAND WITHOUT

BUYING LAND WITHOUT SEEING 1T.
The Bible refers to n certain man
who bought a piece Of land without
seeing It, and, while the record does not
state whether he got beat or not, the
chances are that he did. This prompts
the remark that about the most foolish
thing a man can do Is to buy land
without seeing it. and lots Of men are
doing this thing every day now in their
eager craze to get hold Of land. We
would not invest a dollar in any land
until we had tested the soil and the
subsOil TO a depth Of at least three
feet, till we had ascertained the aver
age rainfall for a series Of years in
the locality where the land was stu
ated, until we had ascertalned the quail.
lty and quantity Of water accessible by
digging or boring. until we knew what
sort of. crops the climate and soil would
produce and the class Of people that
were to become permanent neighbOrs.

New York, Aug. 14.-Justice Jerome
and officials attached to the district
attorneys office held another judicial
inquiry yesterday concerning the
charges that police officials have been
accepting brides from keepers of illegal
resorts. A number of witnesses were
called.
When the session adjourned Justice
Jerome was asked if anything had de-
veloped so far which led to the dis
credit of Whitney's testimony, or its
confederation. He said: so far, moth
ing has been adduced which causes us
to doubt Whitneys statement. Where
the testimony of other witnesses
touches upon the same subjects, it is
corrObOrated, and in no case has his

property Of himself ana wife is no lon

books just opened there is an entry show
ing that the personal assessment on Mr..

under oath by Bradley Martin last year
that he had renowned allegiance to the

little community Of farmers who for

affair in the woods, where simple re-

programme of music and discussion of
farm topics are carried through to the
very great benefit of that community

recently purchased a 100 acre tract OF
the heavily timbered land Of Washing

watch with much interest his effort to

land cleared and good markets for his

Shipping Them Home'
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 14.-Several
days ago it was discovered that the
two modern six-inch Spanish guns
comprising the Punta GOrda battery
which commands the entrance to the
harbor of Santiago were missing. This
battery and the guns of the Sacopia
battery were the only modern cannon
employed by the Spaniards against the
United States warships with the ex-
ception of those landed from the Span
fish cruisers.
Yesterday the harbOr police discov-
cred the guns which had been carried
to a forest on the other side of the
bay and been broken by explosives
ready for shipment as old metal. Sew
eral Spanish ships had been searched
by the police who had expected to dis
cover that the guns were being shipped
by the Spaniards to Spain.

Mr.. Long, of Walker, moved to recon
slider the action Of the convention IN
providing that the governor may sus-
pend a sheriff from duty pending i'm
parchment proceedings for permitting
a prisoner to me taken from him and
lynched. Ex-Governor Jones, in sup
port Of the measure, severely ara
raigned participants in mobs, and, re-
ferring to the recent lynching Of two
women and a man in neighboring
state, declared that the sheriff who
allowed these prisoners to be taken
put a stain upon the name OF the

the passions and weakness of citizens
of localities, and he thought the power
to prevent lawlessness should be cen
tralized in the governor. No definite

No more beautiful sight in growing
cereal crops can be found anywhere
than the vast wheatfields Of the North
Dakota country, the home Of the ia
nous No. hard wheat. Still, this kind
Of farming has many drawbacks. The
work of the entire year is crowded into
a space of four months. Rich though
the soil is, there must come a time
when 1t will become robbed Of its fer
tility and it will be hard to raise
good crops; then the work is nearly all
done upon an extensive scale, and this
means large farms, a thinly settled
community and poor schools and sOcia

A story of stephen Grrard.

A characteristic story of Stephen
Girard was that he induced boy to
work for him till he was 21 years old
by promising to give him q good
start in life afterward. When the
time came, the young man applied
for the promised reward. The ec-
centric old merchant looked at him
for a moment and then said grut1iy,
eco and learn a trade" Consider
ably cast down, for he had expected
a very different sort, the young man
turned away, but after some refec-
ton, knowing something Of the
others peculiarities, he decided to
do as he had been hidden and learn
ed the cooper's trade.
When he had mastered it a year
or SO later, he presented himself
again, and the old man gave him an
order for two barrels. He made
and delivered them, and Mr.. Girard
examined and praised them. "Now,
he said, "you have capital that you
cannot lose, for you can always fall
back on your trade if you meet with
adversely" and then he advanced
his protege a considerable capital
with which to start in business.

tale. One day, when he was about z

he was sitting on fence, watching his
father and older brothers at work in

ing by on horseback. One Of them
with a sweep of his long arm seized
the lad and galloped off. Little Tom
my Lincoln looked up into the red war
rior's face and said: Don't kill me!
Take me prisoner!''
The Indian smiled. Just then a rifle
cracked. Indian and boy tumbled off
the horse, the Indian dead, with bull
let in his brain. Tommy Lincoln's
brother had come to the rescue.
