sHAFFER is SICK.
Strain of Strike Tells on Presidents
Strength.


PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. 1S.-The strain
OF the strike is telling on the physical
strength of President Shaffer. He was
i'll today, and kept to his bed most of the
time. He declined to see any of the
many callers who sought him, and his
Wlfe, who met them instead, explained
that he was worn and sick, and must
rest In order to carry on his work 1t
is expected that he will be at the strike
headquarters as usual tomorrow, but his
friends are afraid that if the strike is
prolonged he will break down Ever since
the strike began he has given his per-
sonal attention to every detail of it.
ana, although he has had assistance and
the counsel Of his associates, the real re-
sponsib1ity nas rested upon him. He
was unWell on Saturday, and in discuss
ing his health, said:

dlnar1ly very strong, but has lost in
weight and color during the last two
months.
McKeesport had a rather exciting day,
Early in the morning the strikers were
told that during the night special train
bearing strike-breakers had passed
through on the way to Monessen. Cour-
lers were at once sent out and an eff
fort made to locate the mysterious train.
Later in the day carload of immi-
grants were found at Browns Station,
and the strikers were sure they had
found the non-union men. Next it was
reported that the Demmler tin mills
were to be started, and the watchers
around the plant were doubled. Pickets
patrolled the river banks and railroad
depots, and every suspicious stranger was
closely watched. Pittsburg was very
quiet. All the properties affected by
the strike were closely watched by pick
cts, but nothing happened.

A LESSON IN YANKEE THRIFT. "a
Leslie's Weekly

Leslie's Weekly
European manufacturers and leaders Of
industry and commerce who are lust now
in a state of perturbation over the en-
croacnments of American trade might
learn little lesson as to the true reasons
for American success and supremacy In a
recent news item from Cleveland relating
how Toledo corporation, having to issue
a check for $12,OGOOOO on the last day Of
June, dated the check a day later in
order to save the twO-cent stamp that
would have been required had it borne
the June date. Two cents may seem an
Insignificant trifle in a $12OOO.0OO transac-
tion, but it is by paying attention to pre-
cisely such tritles, and by having business
affairs under such perfect and systematic
control that even the smallest details do
not escape oversight and regulation. that
Americans are enabled to conduct
enormous enterprises with profit and sue
cess. The saving of two cents in the
case in question did not mean parsimony
nor petty methods of dealing; 1t was am
evidence only Of that exceeding circum-
spection and fidelity to business details
which often makes all the difference be-
tween success and failure in a CONNER
cial enterprise whether it be Of small or
large proportions.

SELECTION OF TEACHERS IN

YELLOW FEVER TEST FAILURE
Use of Affected Mosquitoes in Pro-
ducing Immunes Led to One
Fatality and Several
Serious Cases.

HAVANA, Aug 1S.-Senor Verona mas
issued circular to the presidents or
boards of education throughout Cupa re-
minding them that they should use gredt
care in the selection of teachers, anu
should not allow the political oplhiolls
of candidates to weigh for or against
them. Recently complaints have peeh
made that the appointments of teachers
by boards of education have not peen
marked by fairness, and the Patria, the
Realidad and the Nuevo Pals say the
circular is not much needed, althouSn II
they express the opinion that nothing Is
likely to come OF 1t.
1.-THE supporters of Estrada Palma are
nropagating the idea says the Real
dad that he is the American govern
ment's candidate for the presidency Oh
Cuba and the only man who will be ac-
cepted by the United States. But there
is no evidence to support this conten-
ton All the Americans want is man
who accepts the Platt amendment
Chief Surgeon Harvard announced To-
day that the experiments in the investl-
cation of the propagation of yellow fever
so far as these involved the mosquito
test will be discontinued. The reason the
decision was taken was because one OF the
non-immunes recently bitten by an al
fected mosquito died of yellow fever to-
day. The man was a Spaniard, desired
to become an immune, and therefore al
lowed himself to be bitten by an infected
mosquito Another man who was bitten
is suffering from the disease. The in
fected insects had been set apart for the
use of DR.. Caldas, the Brazilian expert,
who has been arranging to demonstrate
the alleged sufficiency of serum as a
preventive against yellow fever Accord

mosquito infection prior to the latest two

experiments led the yellow fever com
mission to expect. The experiments of

NO CHANGE IN CLOTH MARKET.
Business Rather Quiet at Manchester
Home Trade Light.

MANCHESTER, Aug 1S.-There was
no great change last week in the cloth
market. Business, if anything, was a
shade more quiet. Inquiry for large
Eastern markets continues good, China
especially purchasing at low rates for
future delivery. The South American
section is still unsatisfactory.
The home trade was also disappoint-
ing, little new business being done. At
the same time the stock of cotton afioat
and ashore is unusually limited, and
the future supply depends largely upon
the freedom with which the United States
offer the new crop. Consequently the
situation for the next few months will
be unusually risky.
Yarns did not show much Improvement.
The turnover for the week was limited,
with quotations a shade lower.

DAVIS Is HOPEFUL.
Thinks Chicago WOrkmen Will
Join. Strikers.

J01n strikers.
CHICAGO, Ill.,. Aug 18.-W. C. Dav
is, vice president of the Fourth
district and director of the steel
strike in the West, announced tonight
that he believes the South Chicago men
finally will join the general strike Of steel
workers. Not this week, because there
will be no meeting. 1t is his intention TO
meet the men individually and endeavor
to persuade them to reverse their de-
cision.
Secretary T4ghe addressed two big
meetings at the East Chicago mills of
the Republic Iron & Steel company to-
day. He and Mr. Davis had gone there
direct from Milwaukee because the union
men had signifed their desire to reaftirm
their sympathy with the movement IN
the East and in certain parts of the
West This they did. They went even
further and emphasized their disapprov-
al of the attitude and action of the South
Chicago steel men. Resolutions were
passed pledgng their support morally and
financially. They arranged to contribute
$1,000 every two weeks to the strikers
fund
These meetings over, Secretary Tighe
boarded a Pennsylvania train for Pitts
burg. 1.-The West is, all right he said,
as he left Vice President Davis is
now in charge, and I am confident the
men in Joliet and Milwaukee will hold
true to their unionism.'

Trouble at Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 1S-A fight
occurred tonight between two special
policemen at the Crescent mills and a
number of strikers. The policemen were
escorting a couple of workmen from their
home to the mill, when the strikers tried
to persuade the men not to return to
work. This action angered the officers,
who used their clubs on those nearest.
Frank Zeigler had his head smashed, and
hurt. The affair was Of short duration
but much i'll feeling was evident on both.

Judge Craig entered an order in the

F. Chatterton, the John Kurtz estate
and J. C. Davis according to their sew
eral interests in the property.
