STRIKE ON AT WHITE HOUSE
Thirty Members of Brotherhood O
Painters Quit Work.

Washington, September 17-Thirty
members Of the Brotherhood of Pain
ters, Decorators and Paper Hangers
affiliated with the American Fedora
ton of Labor, employed at the white
nouse, which is in course of recon
struction, were called out on strike
today by Daniel Lear, the Washington
representative of the brotherhood.
The reason assigned is that four
painters belonging to the Amalgama.
ted Association of Painters, Of New
York city, a rival organization, are
employed on a part Of the interior
painting under a subcontract with a
New York painter named Marcoi.
This fight between the brotherhood
and the Amalgamated Association is
Of long standing and the outcome, so
far as the work on the interior finish
Of the white house is concerned, is
problematical. The strike may pre-.
vent the presidents family from oc-
cupying the white house as soon as
they had anticipated.

ed at Colon yesterday:

The above despatch is accepted as
referring to events of Monday. The
officials at Washington are not inclin-
ed to jump hastily at the conclusion
that the obstruction of traffic by the
government soldiers was inspired by
the Columbian government itself, but
are now more ready to believe that
the act was for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning is any revolutionists oceu-
pied the train.

mander Potter and the United States
consul with Governor SaIazar, at Pan
anna, the latter disavowed responsi-
bility for the act Of the govern
ment troops. Acting Secretary of
State Adee and Secretary Moody we're
in consultation for some time today
in regard to the isthmian situation,
though the conference took place be-
fore the receipt of Commander Me
Leans dispatch. However, the dis
patcn was referred to the state de
partment Immediately upon its re-
ceipt, and it Is understood that some
representations will be made to the
government at Bogotia, with view to
preventing repetition Of the incident
and obtaining some expression from
Colombia which may simplify the
rather complex situation which comes
of the conjunction of the government,
liberal and United States forces.
Commander McLean's action in
placing guards on the trains creates
a situation similar to That which ex-
listed some months ago, when Captain
Perry, with the Iowa, and Commander
McCrea, were at Panama and Colon,
respectively, and each train was oc-
cupied by a force of American blue
jackets or marines. captain Perry,
at that time, was forced to take pos
session OF the Panama railroad, and 1t
is probable that further Interference
will result in similar action on ne
part Of Commander Mclean Six
trains are run across the isthmus
each day, two passengers and four
freight trains, ana eacn one may nave
to be provided with guard. Orders
were issued today detaching Comman-
der Mclean from command Of the

cessor, Commander Mason, who sailed
from New York today for Colon, but
it was stated at the navy department
that if the situation requires, Com
mander Mclean will be kept in com
mand beyond the appointed time for

GOOD PLACE TO GO SLOW.

Two deaths in families operated
Science have attracted good deal of
attention in this vicinity in the last
week. One occurred in Omaha, the
other in Shenandoah. The Omaha
case was made shockingly public
affair coroners, postmortem surgeons,
reporters, cameras put it in hid
eously theatrical light. The death in
Shenandoah was handled in a much
more temperate and sensible way,
we judge from the report of our al
ways wise and judicious friend, the
Sentinel. In fact, how, in either law
or common sense, can we compel
people to treat their sick in any one
particular way? The Christian Soien-
lists cheerfully yield to sanitary
regulations, in regard to such things
as quarantine and disinfection and
if they prefer to treat their sick by
what outsiders choose to call incanta-
tions, instead Of sending to the drug
store for bottle and some capsules,
how can the law interfere? We don't
think it is possible unless it also goes
further and says whether they shall
employ an allopath, a homeopath,
an osteopath, or who they shall get

GETTING RICH QUICK.

Once in a while a young man
thinks working and saving altogether
too slow process for his genius,
and concludes to get rich by specu-
lating on the markets, just like a
city man. We knew young man
once who planned such a career for
himself. His father was q grocer,
and he could have earned clerks
wages in the store and become a part
ner in time; but he married and
found his expenses increasing, and
came to the sapient conclusion that
he must get rich quicker than that,
so he bought several things OH the
Chicago board, and then he sold all
his wedding presents and his silk hat
and dress clothes, and borrowed all
the money he could and got his
father to mortgage his grocery store,
and by this means paid up the greater
part of what he found he owed to
his Chicago agent at the close of
the day. Then he went to work on
the clerks salary that he had de-
spised the day before.

AN INDIANA THEORY ABOUT THE
PHILIPPINES.

We all have a theory about the
Philippines; I confess that I have
my own.
If I were out looking over the
world for something to buy, and 1
saw the Philippines marked down to
40 cents on the bargain-counter, I
wouldn't buy the Philippines; they
wouldn't look good to me. But if I
woke up some morning and found
that my boy had driven my neigh
boris white elephant into my front
yard and tied him to the apple tree,
I'd hustle out and lock the gate.
And when I'd got that elephant S feet
tied I'd paint my trade mark on
him, red, white, and blue, and l. d
teach him how to be a good white
elephant; and when I got through
with him he'd be one of the incest,
most gentlemanly elephants that ever
came up the pike. But after 1 got
him tanned so he wouldn't dig up the
fiower-bed and pull down the fence,
I'd call up my son some quiet even
ing while the white elephant was
sleeping TRANQUILITY in the back yard,
and I'd say to him: "Daniel, isn't
this pretty good time to sell ele-
plants? %
eyes, SIR" he'd answer.
"Well, Dan," I'd say, "you take a
