Less than thirty applications Tor
work at the car shops were hled yes
terday by the cx-strikers, ana less
than twenty of these were given EN-
ployment
General Foreman Smith was given
instructions by Master Car Builder
Garfield not to take on men any iaS-
Ter than they were needed, and as
there was not room for many more
mon than the company already had,
the last ten or twelve who filed appli-
cations had to be turned away. They
were told, however, that they would
be sent for as soon as there was
place for them.
When the strike was declared, there
were ZAP men at work in the Scran-
ton shops. Those who went on strike
numbered 662 OF this number, S52
had returned 10 work before the strike
was declared of, and, while the strike
was in progress, the company hired
between 200 and 800 new men. pracu-
cally all of whom are still at work.
This leaves tho shops with nearly It's
fun complement
ROOM FOR MORE MEN.
After things get Strengthened out a
hit Foreman smith says there will
likelv he room for a number Of the
old men who have made applications.
The company is not, as some might
suppose. way behind in it's car repair
ing work, Foreman Smith says, and
there will be no greater activity now
that the strike Is declared off than
there has been for several weeks past.
hot 1Nr
Scranton shops were the only ones
working short-handed To any appre-
Ciable extent for a month past, hut
the shortage in help here was over
come, it is asserted, by sending work
to the shops al Buffalo and Dover.
It is quite likely the majority Of the
three hundred or more Scranton
strikers who staid out to the finish
will not seek employment with the
Lackawanna company. Many Of them
have already secured work in other
places or taken IN some new occupa-
ton. II is safe 70 estimate, though
that fully one hundred of the strikers
will be out of jobs.
TOTAL NUMBER ON STRIKE.
The total number of car builders
who were on strike throughout the
whole Delaware, Lackawanna anc
Western system was about loo
striking an average between the
claims made by either side. Genera
Foreman Smith says the average
wages of a car builder, taking in al
the departments, is about 81 a day
The strike began May 4, here and IN
Buffalo, and May = in Dover Allow
ing for the men who returned to work
at different periods between the be
ginning and ending of the strike, the
estimate of the loss in wages suffered
by the strikers is 5000 Oo0. More thar
half this loss is sustained by th'
Scranton men.
What the earning capacity of ca
builder is for the company Is not fig
urcd out, but 1t is considerable o
course. and whatever it is, it forms
the basis of the loss sustained by th'
company in a pecuniary way Beside
this, the company loses largely from
interference TO its business and accord
ing to President Truesdale's own state
ment loss of $1,000 a day was sus
tanned in Scranton alone by reason o
the company's belief that it was neces
sary 10 maintain guard about II
property. The guard was kept, up 70
about sixty days.
All things considered, the actual pc
cuniary loss entailed by the strike i
not far short of 100000.

HELD UP BY A BEAR.
Young Man Kept Bruin at Bay by
Screaming and Pounding.

The story is being told in Malone,
according to the New York Sun, that
a young man of thename of Truesdell
was cornered a few nights ago by a
bear. Truesdell is about II years of
age, and was walking the tracks of the
Adirondack division Of the New York
Central near Malone. Just above
Owls Head he was confronted by a
big bear, The young man was UNI
armed, except for a double-edged ak
which he carried over his shoulder.
He was so frightened, it is said, that
all he could do was to scream and
pound the rail with his ak. When he
would stop pounding and screaming
the bear would advance, and when
he began again Bruin would stop and
contemplate the strange actions of the
frightened youngster. AT last Trues-
dell's screams were heard, and when
the bear saw the lights carried by the
~resecuing party approach it ran away
TO the woods.

Pineapples.

The discovery of the pineapple, as
q fruit, was coincident with the ex-
ploration of South America by the
Spaniards. As early as the seven
teenth century it was cultivated in
Holland and in England, but its use
was confined to royalty. Its cultiva-
ton in glass houses did not become
common in England until the begin
ming of the eighteenth century. 1t is
now grown by all the leading nations,
either in glass houses or in the open.
In many instances it serves as an orna-
mental plant.
Outdoor cultivation of pineapples
IN the United States dates back to
1860. According to Taylor, efforts
were made as early as 1850 to grow
them in Florida, but for some reason
they failed. 1t is now known that
more than freedom from frost is re-

TWO CAT STORIES.
Puss Seems to Have an Intelligence
Rarely Imputed to Her.

A well-known lady in this city, says
the Daily Kennebec Journal, a short
time ago, was the poSsessor Of a beau
tiful cool cat. The cat suffered with
the flea pest, and her owner was
obliged to ch%loroform her. Now
what is singular about the caseis this;
A couple of days before the cat was
killed the lady was talking to it and
saying it must die, and that she would
go dow. and get some chloroform.
Who can say how much pussy under
stood of the threatened execution, or
was it the tone of voice hal caused it
to take alarm and flee for its life? Be
this as it may, the cat had for some
time been lying around apparently
helpless and remained lying in the
position it had so long occupied until
its mistress returned with the drug.
As she passed through the room
where the cat was, she made some
more remarks as to the coming exc
| cution. She soon returned, and what
was her surprise to see this helpless
cat arise and deliberately walk toward
the door. and when it was opened to
90 out ard leave the premises, Mel
ther did it return to its home until
some one discovered it and brought it
back the next day.
Another lady relates a singular case
that came under her notice, The cat
had kittens and was in a room where
there was but one window, and that
very high up with a smooth wall un'
der it. Kitty was contented there
with her kittens until one day the
people who were in the room talked
about killing the kittens the next day
What was their surprise the next day
to find the cat had taken alarm and
in some unaccountable way escaped
with all her little family, and what is
more had hidden the kittens SO adroit-
" that it was with difficulty the folk;
found them.

BABY WOULD PAY.
The Practical Joker Did a Graceful Act
of Charity.

Charles Smith, of New York, is a
practical joker in a quiet way. One
hot day last August he was coming
downtown in a Third avenue elevated
train. At Houston street, a pale,
thin woman, carrying a little, enact
ated baby, seated herself beside him.
The s~keleton-like fingers Of the child
attracted Mr.. Smiths attention.
Going to Coney Island?" said he to
the mother.
"Oh, no; to Battery park" was the
reply.
Madam, allow me to suggest that
you take your baby to Coney Island
by water and stay on the boat for two
or three trips, The sea air will do ii
good"
But | cannot do it. | have only
enough money to take me back home.'
As the train rolled into the Chat.
ham Square station, Mr.. Smith arose
to leave the train. Leaning over the
woman, he shook hands with the baby.
saying:
81 hope you will change your mind
and take the baby to Coney Island"
"Oh, | should like to, sir, but ]
have ne money to pay the fare"
"That's all right" said the insur
ance magnate; "the baby will defray
the expenses" and darted out of thu
door.
The woman looked down at thu
child and saw, tightly clasped in tn,

Mr.. George W. Story, curator of the
Metropolitan's art sections, smiled
broadly when the extract above quot

Naturally, the greatest care is taken
to keep inyiolate all the treasures of
the museum, the paintings included.
But this is not done in any such
fashion as the London journalist i'm
agined.
During the open hours scores of en-
pIoyes patrol the galleries or maintain
careful oversight, so that on the first
indication Of an attempt at tampering
with any Of the exhibits a signal would
result in an instantaneous closing of
every means of exit. AT night the
building is in charge of as many trusty
watchmen, continually upon the
move.
But these are only ordinary pre-
cautions taken by every institution Of

In common with the most impor.

the museum is additionally protected

these are connected directly with thu

A SCHOOLGIRLS TROUBLE.
Contracted Curvature of the Spine i'm
the SehOOIroon

y schoolgirl about twelve years of age.
with a well-developed case Of curvature Of
the spine caused by sitting at desk that
was too high from the ground TO permit
her TO rest her feet, was the distressing
discovery made by Dr. Hurry on trip TO
Tippecanoe county the latter part of last
week. The pupils name is Miss Whipple.
The child was compelled to sit on a seat
which was not low enough to permit her
feet to touch the floor, and the desk was SO
high that ii caused the right shoulder TO
be elevated considerably out of normal po
sitiOn in writing or figuring.
DR.. Hurry found smallpox prevalent in
the neighborhood of Clarks Hill Stockwell
and Dayton. in Tippecanoe county. He also
discovered that the dread malady has
worked its way over the line into Clinton
county. The first case of the disease had
been incorrectly diagnosed by local physi-
clan. and not until it appeared in viruent
form was il recognized. Several Of the
school children at Stockwell are afflicted
with smallpox. and. despite the prevalence
of the disease in the community, the people
held a May festival recently.
\ new schoOlhouse Will be built al Clark's
Hill this summer to replace the structure
recently condemned by the State Board of
Health. The new building will be sanitary
in every respect being properly lighted,
ventilated. heated and seated.

STATE FORESTRY BOARD.
Secretary Freeman Opens Headquar-
fers i'm the StatchOuse.

Prof. w II. Freeman. of Wabash, who
is. under the new forestry law. secretary
OF the board, formally opened headquarters
of the State Forestry Board in Room 1l9
of the Statehouse yesterday The new Of
fee is on the third floor. When asked for
d statement of the plan of operation to be
pursued by the board, Professor Freeman
said it is outlined briefly and succinctly in
the law, which says: 1T shall be the duty
of said board to collect, digest and classify
information respecting forests. timber
lands forest preservation and timber cIl-
ture and recommend plans and methods
of forest preservation and timber culture
and for the establishment of state forest
reservations; and they shall file their re-
port with the Governor or before the
first day of December. annually"
THE first point said Professor Free
man, will be the gathering of statistical
and other information about the forests of
Indiana. No information of that kind is
available at all. The board hopes to secure
l. through local, county, township and dis
trict officers throughout the State. We will
also request individuals who have fine for
ests on their land To favor US with Informal
ton. We hope to interest the people
through the press and public schools in
this work. which we believe to be of ines
Unable value" Professor Freeman said that
when plans for forest preservation have
been formulated they will be promulgated
through agricultural meetings i'm all parts
of the State. The board will meet for or
ganiation this morning. Beside Professor
Freeman, its secretary, the board is COM
posed of Albert Lieber and John B. Cock
rum, of this city. Prof. Stanley b. Coulter
