SHAFFER's STRIKE ORDER.
Indications Point to Its Being Gen.
orally Obeyed by AmaIga-
mated Men.

Pittsburgh, July 15.-From present
indications it looks probable that
President Skaters strike order, issued
Saturday night to the Amalgamated
association members in the employ of
the American Steel Hoop Co., the
American Sheet Steel Co. and the
American Tin Plate Co., will be obeyed
and the great struggle between the
Amalgamated association and the
steel companies will be on in earnest.
In the union mills of the three COM
panies against which a strike has been
declared, it was predicted hat not a
wheel would turn Monday. An effort
will be made, also, to close down
some of the non-union mills of the
companies and to cripple the rest.
The Amalgamated association people
are very sanguine of success.
1.-THE strike was not of our own Sc
lection said President Shaffer. 'It
was forced upon us. We were not con-
tending for wages, but for principle
for self-preservation. The tin and
sheet people will not be able to turn a
single wheel. We have our forces
thoroughly organized, and there will
be some surprises in store.

THROUGH NIAGARA RAPIDS.
Carlisle ID. Graham's Fifth Success
full Voyage Through the Rap
ids I'm q Barrel.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, July 49,
About three thousand persons saw
Carlisle d. Graham make his fifth sue
cessful voyage through the Whirlpool
rapids in a barrel. Sunday afternoon.
The barrel is of locust wood, oval
shaped, except hat it has a fiat head;
It is about five feet long, 10 inches in
diameter at the foot and &c inches at
the head. With its 100 pounds of bal,
last it weighs 165 pounds. The start
was made from the Maid of the Mist
landing below the falls. The barrel
was caught in an eddy and circled
about a little above the cantilever
bridge for a quarter of an hour. The
stronger current in the middle of the
stream finally jerked it out of the
eddy into the foaming waters of the
rapids. Passing under the second
bridge the barrel had a narrow es-
cape from being dashed to pieces
against the stone abutments of the
bridge. The passage through the
rapids was swift. 1t took the barrel
the starting point and 20 minutes to
get out of it, but it took only three
and a half minutes to pass through
the rapids and the whirlpool, a dis
lance of about a mile. At no time dur
ing the passage through the rapids
was the barrel lost sight of. 1t was
taken from the water after it had cir
eled about IN the whirlpool for a few
minutes. Graham was slightly bruised
about the elbows and knees, but he
was otherwise unhurt.

The CoIonel's Answer.

Lieut.. Col. Hugh L. Scott, Of the
United States volunteers, formerly
captain of the Seventh cavalry, is
known in the army as an officer who
probably knows more about Indian
sign language than any other living
man. At one time Col. Scott made a
standing offer of 81 to any redskin
who could show him a sign used by
any tribe which he did not know.
The colonel is also peculiarly absent
minded, a fact which was emphasized
at his marriage a few years ago.. As
he stood at the altar with his bride,
the officiating clergyman asked him
the usual question as to taking the
woman beside him to be his wife.
The colonel placed two fingers upon
his left eyebrow. After an embar-
RAISING pause the clergyman repeat
ed the question, and again the two
fingers went solemnly to the left
eyebrow. It was not until the best
man poked the bridegroom in the
ribs that he came back to earth and
articulated "Yes."-N. Y. Sun.

NO REST IN
Machinery In the United States In
Not Permitted to Last Until
Out of Date.

An experienced railroad mar has
the following to say regarding Eng
lish railway methods, says Victor
Smith, in the New York Press: "It
is singular, to say the least, that the
English railway managers have just
discovered hat American locomotives
consume more coal, use more oil and
require more repairs than those of
their home make. If this is a fact,
it could have been demonstrated in
a trial lasting a month. Over here we
wouldn't accept an English locomo-
tive as a gift. It would be regarded
as an antiquated monstrosity. I fear
that the British are beginning to feel
a trihe sore over Americas CONNER
cial invasion of all the markets of
the world, and the Midland railway
people are trying to knock us on u
locomotives"
Continuing, the official said: "The
chairman of the Midland made one
impressive statement, namely: We
tend our engines carefully, rest them,
clean them and do everything to
make them last In this country we
rest nothing, not even ourselves.
Bishop Cumberland's familiar saying:
1T is better to wear out than to
rust OUT has taken hold of us, body,

rests his hats, shoes, trousers, coats,
horses, carriages and whatever else
he may own, animate or inanimate.

Gently adopted the practice of tree
ing their shoes for a rest, and the
result is longer wear without losing
shape. Some of our locomotives are
never allowed to cool from one years
end to another. Little wonder they
