wbooptng Cough

A woman who has had experience
with this disease, tells how to prevent
any dangerous consequences from it.
She says: Our three children took
whooping cough last summer, our baby
boy being only three months old. and
owing to our giving them Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, they lost none OF
their plumpness and came out in much
better health than other children whose
parents did not use this remedy. Our

Damage by n storm.

Pittsburgh, Pa, June 3.--0ne of the
heaviest spring storms known to the
government weather bureau here
passed over this section Sunday.
Much damage was done, and four
people were badly hurt during the
storm. The storm lasted only IS
minutes, but in that time three-tenths
of an inch of rain fell, heavy hail
ruined many trees, and the wind
blew down several houses. At Whit
taker, near Homestead, partly-fin-
ished store and dwelling was
wrecked, burying in the ruins three
boys and a man, all of whom were
badly hurt.

A RECORD BREAKING CORPORA
TION.

The Standard Oil Company is called
a record breaking corporation because
1t has beaten all other corporations in
the matter Of dividends. 1t has capt.
talization of 500, 900. and in five and
three quarter years it has distributed
among its shareholders SPAS, 000, 900.
On Tuesday it declared a quarterly
dividend of per cent. Its dividend for
the first quarter of this year was 20
per cent, and for the second quarter II
per cent. The company, therefore, has
paid 40 per cent. There is considerable
speculation as to what the dividend for
the fourth quarter will be. In Wall
street it is said by some that it will
be 10 per cent, and by others 20 per
cent. OF course there is no way for
the public to know what it will be. If
it should be only 10 per cent. the divi-
dends for the year would be the largest
ever paid by the company, the amount
paid last year being AS per cent, the
largest ever paid up to that time.
On Tuesday when the dividend was
declared there was some attempt
in Wall street at fun at the
expense of the company. 1t
was said that the reason the dividend
was not larger was that the mosquitoes
had been so bad this summer that the
country folks had ceased to be con-
sumers Of kerosene. They spent their
evenings in darkness, because a light
drew the troublesome little insects.
There was another story to the effect
that the Standard Oil Company had
given away a good deal of oil to those
engaged in discriminating mosquitoes
with OIL Stories like these were doubt
less circulated by those who held none
of the Standard Oil shares. Those who
held shares were so we'll satisfied with
themselves and the world that they
were content to say nothing.
There is no doubt that the Standard
Oil Company has been wonderfully sue
cessful. 1t is said in it's behalf that
there is no complaint of the price of its
product, namely, kerosene. And 1t
seems that, as a rule, it's employees are
pretty we'll satisfied. At least it is sell
dom that there is complaint from them.
There is doubtless some feeling against
it on account of it's enormous earnings,
but If it's employees and the consumers
of kerosene have no complaints to
make there is very little room for any
body elseeto attack it.

The difficulties in the way of setting
up an American aristocracy are fresh
ly illustrated by a story, which we
take from an English source. of the
adventure of a New Yorker with his
harness maker, says the New York
Evening Post. The gentleman in cues
ton sent the die of his crest TO his
saddler to have 1t put on a new set
or harness that he was ordering. The
man duly sent home the harness, but
omitted to return the die. After send
ing for it several times without sue
cess, the owner called for it himself
and asked why it had not been return
ed, when the reply of the harness.
maker was:
"Oh, why, didn't know you wanted
it,
II tell you, wish to have it back"
oh, pooh pooh! you can't want it
much now, do your"
II tell you, sir, I desire to have the
die back Immediately"
"Ah, well, come, now, what'H you
take for it?''
Dye think mean to sell my crest?
Why. you might as we'll ask me to
sell my name
why you see. good many folks
have seen 1t, and want to have it on
their harness, as it's a pretty looking
concern enough"
We infer that it will be long before
we may look for an American Burke

Burke on the Truly Sublime" as
Calverley called him.

That 1t doesn't take much to cause a
strike was illustrated in Hazleton, Pa,
the other day. Two drivers at the
Evans colliery wanted to go to base
ball game. They did not observe the
formality of notifying the management
that they wanted to get off for the day
so that substitutes might be put on
They dropped out without notice. with
the result. that affairs were somewhat
tangled temporarily. When the drivers
showed up the next morning they were
informed that their services would not
be needed further. They were union
men. and appealed to the local union
The president of the union informed
the owners of the colliery that unless
the drivers were reinstated immediate
ly all of the union men in it's employ
would go out on strike. The owners
refused to comply with the demand
and sure enough 200 Golfers and other
laborers threw down their implements
and walked out-all because of ball
game.

The Latest Snake Story.

George Kent Sterling of this city.
saved his life in an odd manner, says
the Minneapolis Tribune.
He supplied the reptiles with chloro-
form. When all were unconscious he
made his escape
DR.. Sterling often is called at night
to go into the Big Snow Mountain
mining camps. On such occasions he
frequently uses a railroad velocipede
on the narrow gauge road that runs
to the mines.
He was sent for last night and used
his car for several miles. and then was
obliged to strike off across country to
reach his destination.
Halfway on his journey DR.. Sterling
was startled by the sharp and unmis-
taxable sound of a snakes rattle at
his feet.
Then he heard chorus of rattles
Peering into the gloom the doctor be-
held sight that made his blood run
cold. He found himself practically
hemmed in by snakes.
For moment the physicians was al
most paralyzed with fear. Then a
bright thought struck him. Within his
reach was piece of bark about three
feet long.
Wrapping his handkerchief about
one end of the bark, he saturated the
cloth with chloroform from his medi-
cine Satchel.
Then cautiously poking the bark at
the heads of the rearing snakes, one
after another, again and again, oc-
casionally renewing the saturation, he
finally had the satisfaction of seeing
the snakes begin slowly and drowsily
to descend into the grass.

Rear Admiral Evans, Fighting Bob"
had no thought of getting into trouble
when he referred in his book, "A Sail
ors Log" to Mr.. Chandler, Ex-Secre-
tary of the Navy, as an insect. His
view OF the situation was that as Mr..
Chandler was no longer connected with
the navy he was at liberty to criti-
else him and his public actions. MIR.
Chandler has taken another view of
the matter. He holds that it is preju-
diciaI to the good order and dicipline of
the navy for naval officer to attack
or refer contemptuously to former
Secretary of the Navy. The issue
therefore in the Chandler-E Evans case
is this: If a naval officer has a griev-
ance against the Secretary of the
Navy, has he the right to air his griev-
ance, attack or treat with contempt
in the public prints or otherwise the
Secretary after the latter's term of Of
flee has expired? Admiral Evans act
ed on the assumption that such a
right exists. Mr.. Chandler takes the
position that there is no such right.
to the Secretary of the Navy in ref
erence to the offensive matter in Ad-
miral Evans book. The letter was
handed to the Admiral on Tuesday
Its contents have not been made pub
lie, but it is understood that Mr..
Chandler says that Admiral Evans
is guilty of conduct unbecoming an
officer and a gentleman. That is a
serious charge. viii the Secretary of
the Navy consider it his duty to re-
quire Admiral Evans to appear before
court of inquiry?
1t may turn out that the Admirars
attempt to get even, so to speak, with
Mr.. Chandler for some fancied wrong
done him by the latter while at the
head of the navy department, may
cause him a great deal of trouble. Mr.
Chandler is not the man to overlook
an intentional affront. If there is any
way in which he can reach Admiral
Evans and punish him, it is pretty GER
tain that he will utilize it. 1t is evil
dent that the Admiral has a fight on
his hands that is likely to prove more
troublesome than any fight he has had
on the sea.

THE REAL ISSUE OF THE STRIKE

Notwithstanding IL has been a month
since the beginning of the strike of
the Amalgamated Association it is only
within the last two or three days that
there has been a clean cut statement
as to the differences between the Asso-
citation and the United Steel Corpora
ton. The difference is that the asso-
citation demands that the corporation
shall agree to pay the same wages to
it's employees in its non-union mills as
it pays to its employees in the union
mills. The reason of this demand, IL is
claimed, is that in duh times the nom
union or cheap labor mills are run on
full time, while the union mills are
either closed down or are run on short
time. The employees who do not belong
to the Amalgamated Association thus
get the benefit of steady employment,
and the tendency is to break up the
association, because of the desire of the
men for steady work, even at slightly
reduced wages. The corporation of
course insists that the association has
no right to say what it shall do in re-
spect to its employees who are not MEM
bers of the association.
There is no doubt that the outlook
in the section of country in which the
plants of the United Steel Corporation
are situated is gloomy. Indeed trou
blous times may extend far beyond that
section. Labor in other Industries may
go so far in its sympathy for the steel
strikers as to tie up industries and
even railroads in all parts of the coun-
try. That would be productive of de-
plorable condition of affairs. Business
would be paralyzed, capital and labor
would lose an immense amount of
money. and there would be great suf-
fering among wage earners.
There is no doubt that the Anal
gamated Association understands that
il is fighting for existence. President
Shaffer of the Association said as much
in his address calling out all of the as
scciation's men on Aug. 10.
If the association wins IL will control
the mills of the United States Steel Cor
poration. If the corporation wins the
Amalgamated Association will cease to
exist-at least it will cease to be the
powerful organization it now is. There
is no doubt therefore that the fight will
be stubborn and hotly contested one.
II may assume such immense proper
tons as to involve the entire country.
The possibility of such a thing is max
ing thinking men look at the situation
with feelings akin to uneasiness.
In some quarters the hope is enter
tanned that settlement will soon be
reached. There is nothing to justify
such a hope. Each side has announced
that 1t will make no further effort to
bring about a settlement. The issue is
squarely Joined and one side or the 9TH
er must yield before the steel making
business will return to its normal con-
dffiOu

he has been known to tell the story
himself. with evident appreciation of
its humor. 1t was away back in the

One of his customers, a Mr.. Breed,
was the owner of an oil well at Titus
vile. Mr.. Rockefeller became interested
in the account of the well and consent

purchasing. The next week he appear
ed Mr.. Breed tells of this visit:
THE well was about eight miles be-
low Titusville on Oil Creek. The roads
were very bad. and we rode on horse
back. We left the horses tied to a tree,
and went the last half mile on foot
The path led over sort of bayou six
feet across. The oil men threw the sed-
fment from the oil-tanks into the bayou
and the mixture of oily mud and water
was inky black.
ITO cross the bayou we had to walk
a log, which was slippery from the
snow of the previous night. crossed
safely. and was about to offer Mr.
Rockefeller a helping hand when he
slipped and fell into the bayou.
HE sank into the tarry mud nearly
to his hips. running his clothes, which
happened to be new and light colored.
1t took us half an hour, working with
barrel slaves, to scrape off the tar so
that he could walk. His first remark
after he was out of the bayou was:
Breed, you've got me into the oil bus
mess head and ears
He bought the oil well and a new
suit of clothes before he left Titusville.
