The strike in Metropolis is on in
earnest and this morning there are but
few union men at work in all the fac

The unions that declared the strike
have given all the remaining members
until Thursday to discontinue work
and il they still refuse to leave will be
expelled from the union. The union
men are determined to win and will
make no concessions. Nearly all the
factories are interested in the fight
and the arrangements say that they
will hold out as long as there is dol
lar left with which to carry on the
campaign.

PHOTOGRAPHERS MEET
The Second Annual Session Began
Today in Louisville.
A Large Attendance Of Kentucky and
Tennessee Artists There.
And save your he aIth.

Louisville, KY, June 1.-THE Ken
lucky and Tennessee Photographers
Association began its second annual
meeting in Louisville today with
good attendance from the two states.
The formal opening took place in
Music Hall this afternoon, wnen the
visitors were welcomed by Mayor
Granger, to whose address response
was made by W. s. Lively of McMinn-
Vile, Tenn. An interesting feature
is the large and representative photo
graphic display in conjunction with
the convention.
The organization Is a yoang one,
having only been organized last year,
but IL already has a large member
ship, and much interest is taken in
the annual gatherings, which have
been the means Of increasing interest
IN artistic photography among the
members.
The business sessions Of the conven-
ton will include the reading of
number of highly interesting papers
OF live interest to photographers.
There will also be demonstrations of
late processes by experts. The cleo
tion OF officers for the ensuing year
promises to be very exciting.

ECONOMY OF HAVING
TRUST COMPANIES ACT
AS EXECUTOR.

A trust company receives exactly
the same commission as an individual
when IL serves as an executor or ad-
ministrator, yet it brings to the man
agement Of an estate the combined ex-
periences of several men of great abil.
ity in financing and management, in
stead of that of single individual.
A trust company, being. a perma-
nent institution, there is no danger
from deaths like there is in the man
agement by an individual. A trust
company, also, has its own strong
vaults, burglar and fire proof, and
offers every protection from fires and
other dangers.
A trust company is in the position
to secure better investments than a
private individual, as this comes in its
line of business, and it can usually
find SUCH investments quicker than an
individual could. A trust company
for the same reason is in better
position to dispose of any property il
it should be advisable to do so.

sides doing trust company business,

WALKING FOR BEAUTY.
Pedestrianism Is the Best Form of
Physical Exercise Woman
Can Indulge In.

Physicians of the best reputation,
who have closely studied the matter,
unhesitatingIy assert that walking is
the best exercise a woman can engage
in for the development of her physical
charms. The woman who is in the
habit Of taking the street ears for
every three blocks she wishes TO travel
is the one who has bad complexion
and complains Of growing stout. She
will tell you that her spine troubles
her, that her feet are rheumatic, that
she cannot walk-positively must not
do so.
If you are among that number say
nothing but get to work and walk.
Take walk every day, give up the
street car habit unless you have some
real riding TO do or time is an object,
and every day walk little farther.
An excellent thing is exercise and
if you do not find walking agrees with
you then take to the gymnasium. Aft
er you have tried all the physical cul
ture exercises try the open air ones.
A delightful open air gymnasium is
situated on the banks of the Susque-
hanna. It is in the ground of a great
millionaire, who built it for one of
his daughters, a girl who was delicate
from girlhood, In the gymnasium
there are high walls, but the inclosure
is so great you do not feel as though
hemmed in, yet there is privacy.
One day with her friends she plays
as Diana of the chase. Taking a bow
she pulls a stiff string and sends the
arrows flying with all her strength.
This is magnificent exercise for the
lungs.-ChicagO Chronicle.

Psaner Pronnneintinn-

Two well-known officials. one of the
state and the other of the city, while
warm friends, occasionally get into
arguments as To the proper pro-
nunciation of words, The other night
the word isolate" was used by the
city man, who pronounced il with the
accent on the i" as ''i-solate," " where
upon the state man Immediately but
Ted in" with "Oh, no, not isolate. but
isolate" why, you're bughouse," ,"
rejoined the Il" man." Common sense
ought TO teach you that you are wrong.
Just look at what the word means
ice, that Is frozen, which is 10 be a
dead one, that is of no account. Imean
out Of commission or put away back,
see?" 'No. I'll be hanged if do. nor
anyone else,' shouted the state man.
Then a panied look came over the face
of the city man, and with gentle pity
he said: You ought not to need a
piledriyer or an AK. I'll spell it for
you phonetically. Ice-o-late. Ice, do
you catch on? Frozen, put away. eh ?''

FllIplno PrInter,. ..stick.e

Mail is still coming to the house for
the late Amos j. Cummings, says the
Washington Post. A letter and accom-
panying package, which he would have
greatly priced, has just arrived from
Manila. 1t is from Frederick Power,
who voyaged thither as a printer, and
who expresses thanks for some kind
nesses that Cummings did him. Power
forwarded a native printers stick
which belonged to Aguinaldo's printing
office, and which was captured when
the little Filipino chieftain was driven
out of Tarlac province. 1t is a small
stick of wood, some ten inches long,
having a space of about six inches in
length followed out and roughly lined
with brass. Therein the native print
ers set their type. The stick holds
but a line. because-the native printers
will set but a line at time. The in
teresting trophy will be forwarded to
Big Six" typographical union, in New
York. of which Mr.. Cummings was a
member for 30 years. Up to the day
of his death he always carried a card
of this organization in his pocket.
