THEY WILL Fight.
Cleveland Machinists Prepar-
ing to Contest Court
Procoedings.

Cleveland, June 19.-Union machin-
lists intend to make hard fight against
the Cleveland Punch and Shear Works
company in the suit brought by the
company to enjoin some of it's former
employees from establishing pickets
around the company's plant on Case
avenue, and from intimidating en-
ployes and trying to induce them to
quit work.
A preliminary skirmish occurred in
Judge Stones court yesterday when
tho case came up for hearing on an ap-
plication for a temporary restraining
order. The company won the first
round, the Judge granting temporary
Injunction, to continue until next Mon
day, and the case was set for further
hearing on Saturday. The company
was ordered to give a $500 bond.
Several afiidavits in behalf of the
injunction were filed in the case yes
terday.
John F.. Doolittle, superintendent of
the establishment, made affidavit that
it was difficult to get men on account
of the pickets, that four employees had
quit work on account of fear and intini-
idation, that others threatened to quit
unless the injunction is granted, and
that the company is threatened with
damage suits because it is unable to
complete its contracts.
Doolittle said that about May 4 tie
company was presented with a printed
circular from the International Associa-
tion of Machinists containing a wage
agreement which the company was
asked to sign. The machinists de-
manded a raise Of 1914 per cent In
wages and one hour less work day.
The company refused to sign the agree
ment he said, and the machinists took
Q vote and decided to strike on May
70. On May IS they were discharged.

FREE TRADE FEARED.
Beet and Cane Sugar and To-
baeco interests Fear Free
Trade With Porto Rico.

Washington, June 19.-Ultra protec-
tionists fear that free trade with Porto
Rico is on cards. Porto Rica claims %
produce enough tax revenue to 60 it
alone, and when that time has arrived
it is provided that the president Ly
proclamation can declare all tariff
duties off with Porto Rico. Beet and
cane sugar and tobacco interests Of the
United States fear this will be the en-
tering wedge which will allow free
sugar and tobacco to enter from all
our island possessions.

Barrymore and MOdJeska.

Maurice Barrymore earned reputa-
tion as a wit and really deserved it.
His style could be less successfully
transferred to the stage, as his efforts
at comic writing showed but in its
spontaneous phases its effect always
told. One of the stories told was about
his experiences with Nine. Modieska,
with whom he acted for several years.
lie had been as careless as he often
was on the stage, and Nine. MOdieska,
with all the conscientiousnesS of q
great artist, protested that he had no
right to take his calling so lightly and
that if he did not owe it to his reputa-
tion to do his best he at least owed it to
her, because she had done so much in
his behalf and had put him before the
public in dignified and serious line of
parts.
"Why, madam" he said, sit is not
you who brought me before the public
and made me known. People had
heard of me all over the United States
when they thought that Modjeska was
only the name of a tooth wash"

Just returned from there the other day.
"Down near Nassau, for example,
there is curious sheet of wAter known
as the Lake of Fire that is worth going
far to see. IT Is simply a phosphor-
escent lake, but its weird effects cling
to ones recollection In an uncanny
way!klt is about three miles from the
hotel. You drive through quaint and
harrow streets, with only here and
there n lamppost shedding dim light,
and past the open doors of huts whose
occupants seem to fill every space in

"The gates of the old estate of Wa
terloo have long since disappeared, and
the house is in ruins, but you drive be-
tween the posts which still mark the
entrance down grass grown roadway
to the edge of this wonderful pond.
The water is only few feet deep, and
the pond is scarcelTp quarter of mile
long. We stepped into a rowboat by
the dim light of lantern, and in a mo-
ment, as the boat pushed off and the
oars broke the water into ripples, we
were surrounded by sea of flame. The
divers who swan about seemed literal
ly merged in blue smoke, for the effect
of this phosphorescence is more like
smoke than water. 1t reminds one of
the butterfly dance seen on the stage.
The form of the diver is surrounded by
a luminous glow, and the fishes take

into the dark and quiet waters. 1t is

In the fore part of August, 1912,
party of hunters found in a mountain
Gus region now known as Rabun coun-
ty, Ga, a being nearly eight feet high
covered with blush hair and having
human face adorned with immense
ears resembling those of an ass. The
creature was stone deaf and on that
account seemed wholly unconscious of
the approach of the men. This mon
ster seems, from old accounts, to have
been seen upon several occasions dur
ing the next four years.
In 1916 number of adventures
from Virginia, most of them surveyors
working up the unexplored portions Of
Georgia and the Carolinas, formed
themselves into party for the express
purpose Of capturing the uncanny be-
ing if possible. They secured the hills
and valleys for several days and at last
returned unsuccessful to the starting
point.
The many tales told of this extraordi-
nary being seem to have created quite
a stir all along the Atlantic coast. A
printed circular issued by land com
pany in 1915 says, "The climate of
Georgia Is exceedingly mild, the soil
productive, and the danger of attack
from uncouth beasts which are repre-
sented as being half beast and half
man are fairy tales not worthy of con-
Sideration"

A Crushed LAWYER.

Some time ago we'll known San
Francisco attorney, who prides himself
upon his handling of Chinese witnesses,
was defending railway damage case.
Instead Of following the usual ques,
tions al to name, residence, IL the ma.
ture of an oath were understood, etc.,
he began: "What is your name" "Kee
Lung" you live in San Francisco"
"Yes." "You sabbie God" "Mr. At

ply say that Thursday evening next !
shall address the State Ministerial as.
sociation on the subject of the Divinity
Of Christ and shall be pleased to have
you attend"
Needless to say, general roar of
laughter swept over the courtroom at
this clever rally, and it was some min.
utes, much to the discontinue of the
lawyer for the defense, before order
was restored and the examination pro.
ceeded upon ordinary lines.-Argonaut.

Dissipation i'm Reading.

New York Times Saturday Review.
AS there may be intemperance in
everything, there may be dissipa-
tion in so good thing as reading.
Aealthful reading is one Of the most
beneficial of all mental exercises,
though it is not, as some mistak-
ingly imagine, the best. But when
reading is done without intellectual
stimulation, merely to kill time, it
becomes a low form of dissipation,
for it dissipates the mentality.
Again, when it is done merely to
excite the imagination, to over
stimulate the mind, it is equally
dissipating and dangerously un-
healthful. The Summer season,
now so near at hand, is the time
when dissipation in reading is most
common, though it is not the only
time when it is practiced. Some
persons dissipate in reading all the
year around, with the result that
they become unable to think clearly
and logically on any subject.
This dissipation may consist in
reading nothing but trash, and
again it may consist in reading
what is classed good literature, but
reading it to excess. For example,
it would be possible to indulge in
form of dissipation by reading con-
stantly poetry Of the highly colored,
sensuous sort. Reading of this
kind needs to be balanced by a pc
rusal of the more contemplative
poets, such as Wordsworth and
Tennyson. A steady diet of Swine
burne or Kipling would not be
healthful, though the verse itself
would be admirable of it's kind.
Again, it would be dissipation to
read constantly the novels of the
present romantic school. These
should be offset by the works Of the
students of character But habit
ual novel reading, no matter how
good the books read, is bad. Ev-
cry one should from time to time
take up some work of thought or
fact. Perhaps the best antidote
for the novel is history, and there
are histories, like Prescott's "Con-
quest of Peru" which are as fasci-
mating as any novel ever penned.
But, after all, it is aimless,
thoughtless reading of any kind
that constitutes the worst dissipa-
ton of this kind. To read simply
to kill time is a vicious pastime.
1t dulls the intellectual forces,
weakens the will, and blunts the
appreciation. 1t brings on form
of ennui intolerable and dangerous
to the moral perceptions. The val
he of mental employment, like that
of physical exercise, lies in it's en-
bodimcnt OF a purpose. There
must be a consciousness of effort if
the great central of controlling
power of the intellect is to grow
and govern, as it should. Scatter
ed forces are altogether too COM
mon. To dream away ones inner
life in an imaginary world, no mat
ter how beautiful that world may
be, is to waste ones highest pow
ers. To read constantly for the
want OF something to think of is
to stultify ones self. Bacon said,
Reading maketh full man."
But there are different sorts of full
ness, and that of the idle glutton is
not to be commended. Let the
dissipated reader ponder the wise
words of Milton:
Who reads
lncessantly, and to his reading brings not
q 2 spirit and Judgment equal or superior,
