 Federal Authorities Take Hand.
 A bombshell was thrown Into the ranks of the strikers this afternoon by the ar rest of Clark Bentley conductor, on a charge by Postoffice Inspector Lake Jones of cutting trolley wires near Au- dubon park on October 1. The company has been offering a thousand dollars re- ward for such an arrest, but the strik- CTS laughed at 1t. The fact that the fed eral officials have taken hand has sur prised them. Bentley was arrested while in the United States court room listening to the evidence in the cases against the sixteen strikers charged with attacking mail cars on September 29. An affidavit has also been made against D. Munsch for cutting wires and the in- spectors say two other men were con- cerned in that crime. Bentley was re- leased on 5000 bond.
 The trial of the sixteen strikers charged with interfering with mail cars began before the United States commissioner and much direct evidence was adduced against all but the officers of the union who were not in the vicinity. The trial was continued until tomorrow.
 Safety Committee In Session.
 The public safety committee has been in session most of the night discussing the strike situation and making prepar- ations to uphold the mayor in his effort to prevent violence. This committee is a standing body made up of representa- tives of all the exchanges in the city. and came into existence during the la bor troubles in 1894 It owns a quantity of arms and ammunition which can be put in the hands of a volunteer force when needed.
 Up to 10 o'clock tonight the mayor had sworn in only twenty-five special police men as the result of his call for thous- and. That shows the general public sem timent.
 The carmen propose to hold public mass meeting tomorrow night to get public approval of their course in this strike and to have a protest entered against the importation of non-union men.
 Forty non-union men arrived tonight over the Illinois Central from Chicago. Their whereabouts are unknown but if located by the strikers there will be trouble.

New Orleans, October 1.-The New Or leans Railway company tried to obey the order of the mayor to run passenger cars this morning but with almost the entire force of city police concentrated at the scene of action, one car got five squares from the Canal street barn and the at tempt was abandoned for the day. Four cars were started out with non-union motormen and conductors, each carrying eleven policemen, while a hundred police men were massed in the vicinity, but when the first car reached Tonti street the strikers and their sympathizers made a rush, got possession and won the day with the utmost ease.
 The police made no show of resisting the assault. Evidence of the fact is that not a single striker was hurt. On the other hand, F. H. Schwenck of Chicago, non-union conductor, was hit on the head with a brick and badly hurt, and he, with three others, were bodily taken possession of by the strikers. Two were kept prisoners in union headquarters all afternoon, carefully guarded and not even members of the union were allowed to talk to them. The other two are conceal ed at some other point which is not known.

a Bargain
in asses *
BY TOM MASON.

| i as the minister's daughter came
into the little back meeting room of
the main floor of the church. wher,
members of the committee, the major
| lty OF them young and pretty, stood
talking at once.
Something was going on. In through
the half open door could be heard q
buzz of people, and an expert in such
matters, if he passed by and even cas-
ually looked within, would have known
that church fair was in progress.
1t was, indeed. the annual church
fair, held under the auspices of The
Young Women's Guild, and this year
the minister's daughter was in charge
of the proceedings. Her father, away
on his vacation, had called her into his
study before his departure and ap-
pealed to her very strongly to do
her share" And so she had suddenly
announced her determine ton to take
an active part, much to the surprise
of everyone. as up to- the present time
she had been more interested in play
ing golf than in spiritual matters, and
had even been called a regular tom
boy" by certain recalcitrant beings in
oldrfas hioned bonnets
''She will make a failure CT it,"
announced Mrs. Mintby, the official
critic of the minister's family. "That
girl is too hairbrained, and besides,
what does she know about such ma t.
ters? She wouldn't be seen in church
half the time if common decency didn't
make her go.''
That's So" assented Mrs. Dickster.
"All she cares about are the men and
outdoor sports, any how
And now, when the fair was half
over. 1T began to seem as if these pre-
ddctions were to be fulfilled The
booths combined had taken in barely
fifty dollars, and to send these poor
children away for the summer-for
the minister's daughter, with a fine
scorn of foreign missions, had insisted
that charity should begin at home
seemed desperate chance. and at this
particular moment it seemed as if
nothing short of miracle would swell
the receipts for the next two hours.
The minister's daughter stepped to
the table where the chairman usu-
ally presided. There was a sudden
hush. She looked over her auditors
moment with calm, penetrati ting
gaze.
Girls she said. Eve have got to be
kissed"
a chorus CT los" and feminine
screams and protests was her answer.
There is no help for it, she con-
tinued. 1--WE must raise lot of
money before this night is over.
Now my plan is this: We will all
stand up and be kissed at auction,
one at d time, to the highest bidder
Now, girls, don't go back on me.
Remember, it's in a good cause. How
many can L count on?"
There was a pause; a hand was
and then another.
In ten minutes more eight exceed
ingly pretty girls, headed by one who
was prettier than all of them, filed
into the main room and grouped
themselves about a chair. One of
hem stood up in the chair, to which
this legend was attached:
