EMPLoYEs ARE ARMED.
Telephone Company In New Orleans
 Prepares Men for Trouble.

New Orleans. August 26.-As result of the linemens strike on the Western Union. which has now been on for several weeks. the Cumberland company is meet ing with great difficulty m operating It's service here. in spite of the blanket in- junction recently issued by Judge Par 1ange in the federal court. Today the po- lice reported that forty-eight wires be- longing to the company at Pitt and Joseph streets had been cut during the night, and the ends found lying on the ground at daylight. The effect was to put many of the phones in the upper resi- dence district of the city out of service. The company is still bringing men hero from other points, but have had to appeal to the police to protect them. Yesterday three of the men who came from Nash vile were badly beaten. Today Chief Journee detailed a policeman in uniform on each of the trouble wagons of the com pany which are trying to repair the dam aged service. Negotiations for a settle ment of the strike have completely failed.
 Later in the day the Cumberland peo- pie, through Manager Powell, applied to the mayor for permission to arm their men.

OUT OF SORTS. Pleasant Way to Drive Away the Blues

A food that will bring back health and rosy cheeks to the sick as well as please the palate of the healthy is a pretty good food to know about. A lady in Minne- apolis says. T am such an enthusiast upon the subject of Grape-Nuts that I want to state few instances of its value that have come under my personal ex- perience.
 I was taken i'll with a serious stomach trouble. so i'll that the slightest move ment caused me pain and could take nothing into my stomach or retain even medicine or water. I had been two days without nourishment when my husband suggested trying Grape-Nuts.
 The nurse prepared some with warm water. sugar and cream, and I took it hesitatingly at first until I found it caused me no pain, and for ten days I took no other nourishment. The doctor was surprised at my improvement and did not resent my attributing the speedy cure to the virtues of Grape-Nuts He said he had a case or record of a teeth ing baby who grew rosy and fat on the same diet.
 Grape-Nuts are so dainty and delicious that 1t appeals to the whole household and when either husband or I feel gen. orally out of sorts we try confining our selves exclusively to the food for a day or two with the happiest results
 For Q. year I have had for a neighbor a delicate girl-an epileptic. When I first knew her she was a mere shadow weigh ing 70 pounds. and subject to fearful attacks, having as many as twelve and sixteen conyulsions in a day. At such times she took no nourishment what ever. She had never tried Nuts, and as any food seemed to increase her trouble at such times, 1t was with diff fculty l persuaded her to try it. But I told her of my experience and induced her to try few spoonfuls.
 The taste delighted her and ever since she has made it her chief article of diet. The result has been wonderful; her im- provement is the subject of remark with all who know her. The attacks are less frequent and violent and she has gained 20 pounds since last November, and her family attribute her improvement solely to Grope-Nuts."

FIGHT ON DRExEL's YACHT. Sailors Indulge Too Freely in stim
 ulants and RiotIng Results.

New York, August 26.-several sailors who are said to have been induleine too freely fin stimuants have caused A light on George w. C. Drexers yacht the Alcedo from Philadelphia, which al- most amounted to mutiny, says a HaH- fax dispatch to the Herald. Several mem- bers of the crew became intoxicated and began smashing things on board.
 The captain called in a policeman, but he was powerless. Achievements were called and when they arrived the sailor who was the principal cause of the trou- ble retreated down a hatchway The po- licemen closed with him and after put ting irons on him brought him to the deck. Then they started to handcuff an- other sailor. Meanwhile the prisoner snapped the Landcuffs apparently as easily as If they were made of twine. The two prisoners finally were taken to the station, but during the scrimmage, the policemen had their helmets broken and got many cuts. The prisoners were paid off by the captain and they will be ar raigned in court.

INCREASED DEMAND FOR IRON.
Prices Take an Upward Turn in Lon
 don, Says Special Dispatch.

New York, August 26-Increased de- mand for iron and steel from Chicago New York and Philadelphia has sent up prices here. says a London dispatch to the Tribune. The report that orders have been received for s0O00 tons has not been confirmed with authority, but the American demand for manufactured iron and steel has sufficed to stiffen prices and compensate for a declining trade from India and Australia and the condi- tion of South Africa.
 Exports of iron and steel from Great Britain. Germany and Belgium have been increasing steadily since December, and the effect of the American combination is not dreaded as 1t was last year. the markets not having been converted into a dumping ground for American iron and steel, and prices have risen with the in- creased demand for export to the United States.

ExTRAVAGANcE NOT CAUSE.
Judge Decides That 1t Is Not Good
 Ground for Divorce.

New York August 26.-Justice Spring of the New York supreme court, sitting in the appellate division, has handed down decision in which he holds that gross extravaganza and forgery commit ted by a wife to raise money does not in this state constitute a cause for action for a limited divorce.
 In discussing the case Justice Spring is quoted as having said: "A husband takes a wife for better or worse and be- cause she does not conform her expendi- lures to his notions of economy is not a ground for casting her from him."
