crave stonned Tro11ev Cars.

UTICA, N. y, Nov. 20 Something
happened to the transmission lines of
the Utica and Mohawk Valley railway
during the night, and it was at first
thought that the trouble was due to a
fire. AS soon as possible men We're sent
over the lines, and on the river flats
they found the source. The body of a
large crane was hanging over the
wires. 1t is supposed that the bird
flew against one Of the wires and was
killed by the shock. The body fell
against the other wires, and this short
circuited the power. 1t resulted in
stalling the cars Of the system, and the
birds body will be mounted for the
eQmnanY.

next day, still no one appeared until he
tried it again yesterday. 1t belonged
to lady named Mary e. Judson of
Bethlehem. One of her neghbors.

funny part of it was that there was O.
bank book in the case, but Mr. McEvoy
never knew it until Mr. Thompson told
him when he began to describe the
missing property. McEvoy said there
was no bank book among the artic-
les, and he had reason to believe so,
too, for himself and a reporter made
what they thought was a careful in
ventory of everything in it. but saw
nothing of that kind. But it was

TROUBLE AT SCHENECTADY
Street Railway Employees Will Not All
low Cars to Enter Troy.

Schenectady, n. Y, Nov 20.-Anoth-
er and more serious development OF
the boycott Instituted against the
Schenectady Railway Co by the local
Trades assembly, comes to light to-day
in the possibility of action by the
Amalgamated Association of Street
Railway Employees of Albany and Troy
looking to endorsing the action of the
Schenectady labor body.
The statement is made by an of
fetal of the association that that body
will positively refuse to allow the cars
of the Schenectady railway to enter
the city of Troy as long as there are
.non-ERion men aboard them. liz the
company insists on the carrying out of
the terms Of it's contracts with the
United Traction Co TO use it's tracks,
the men will go on strike, he declared.
In this way he said, I'VE hold the
real key to the situation z
I'VE have tried for long time,'' he
added, ''to unionize the Schenectady
railway, but we have not succeeded in
doing so. Now that we have the COW
eted opportunity we mean to take ac-
ton. 1T will be our fault if the road
is not unionized."
IF the Amalgamated association
acts, the boycott may succeed" said
one of the trades union officials to-day.
That this act is contemplated by the
association as a body is evident from
the step of the Albany Federation of
Labor, which last evening endorsed
the boycott and pledged it's support to
the local Trades assembly. The
Ama1gamated association is a member
of this central body.
The Schenectady railway officials
decline to discuss the matter Local
Trades assembly officials who are in
favor of the boycott are making no at
tempt to conceal their jubilation over
this unlocked for aid, and they are
them from defeat.
Albany, N. Y. Nov S2O.-It is under
stood here that the endorsement of
the boycott of the Schenectady rail
roais by the Federation of Labor,
which includes the Amalgamated As
sociation of Street Railway Employees,
does not necessarily mean that the
men will go on strike il the Schenec-
tady cars are run into Albany and
Troy. A leader said this morning:
ct means that we are to give them
moral support by asking all persons
favoring labor and all our members
and their families to refrain from us
ing the Schenectady cars.
The cars are running on time to-day
and evidently with as many passen-
gers as usual.
The Central Federation Of Labor
took this action last night in response
to a request from the Schenectady
Trades assembly for an endorsement
of their position.
At a recent meeting Of the local
branch Of the Amalgamated Street
Railway Employees. No 14S, the posi-
ton of the Schenectady Trades assem-
bly, was laso endorsed.

Food For the Aged.

Food for the aged, according to q
prominent English authority, should
consist in the main of fruits and vege
tables, as the acids dissolve out the
lime salts from the tissues and so pre-
vent too early stiffness Of the joints
and other parts. Tea and coffee are
best avoided, as they cause paralysis OF
want of proper control over the limbs.
Pork, veal, cheese and much flesh food
must be avoided, as a heavy meal of
any of these foods is liable to induce a
stroke of apopleXy. All food should be
simple, plainly cooked and taken in
great moderation, lest the digestive Or
gans be overtaxed. Breakfast may
consist of porridge and milk, whole
wheat bread and milk or whole wheat
bread and fruit and cup of cocoa or
milk. Dinners may consist of vegeta-
BILE soup and bread, macaroni, vegeta-
bles and some simple plainly cooked
nonfesh dish; for dessert, stewed fruit
and bread or plain rice, sage, tapioca or
macaroni pudding. If flesh or fish is
eaten, 1t should be of the most digesti-
Bile kinds, as lean beef or mutton or
boiled or baked white meated fish, and
then in moderation. Supper may con-
sist of whole wheat bread and fruit or
boiled onions, celery or beet root and
a cup of cocoa or milk and water. Food
should not be taken for at least three
hours before going to bed.
