PATTERSON, Aug. 25, 1902. Mrs.
Stengel, who has bakery ON West
Twenty seventh street, this city, has
been boycotted by the Bakers Union. On
her store and wagons little yellow pla-
cards have been pasted during the week,
worning all union men not to patronize
her shop.
Mrs. Stengel and her friends are in
dignant at the way She has been treated,
and they tell strange story Of how the
boycott was started.
A week ago the journeymen bakers
had a picnic at Willard Park, which is a
short distance from Mrs. Stengel's bak-
cry. They ran out Of bread and COM
mittee was sent out forsa new supply. As
it would take half an hour to reach any
other bakery, it was decided to waive
principle and patronize Mrs. Stengel At
the same time the babzers decided to
keep the matter secret.
The non union bread was bought and
the union bakers eat it with relish, but
in some manner the story leaked out and
there was trouble at the next meeting
of the union bakers at Paterson. To
overcome the bad effect of having pa
tronized a non-union bakery boycott
on Mrs. Stengel was ordered.

GREAT BATTLE ON.
FIGHTING AT VICTORIA, VENEZUE-
LA CONTINUES.
Said to Be the Greatest Battle Ever
Fought in Venezue1a---Comm
nication Is Cut---MinIster Bowen
Reports American interests in
No Danger.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-The greatest
battle, that Venezuela has ever had is
still raging, according to cablegram
received at the state department. from
United States Minister Bowen at Cara
cas-. The dispatch reads:
Fighting continues at Victoria. No
communication is to be had with VAL
encia."
1t had Deen decided at the navy de-
partment that one United States vessel
now at LaGuayara, the port of Caracas,
is sufficient for the present needs. The
Marietta, which is the vessel referred
to. might, in case of need, quickly send
a guard of marines and bluejackets to
the United States legation at Caracas
if Mr.. Bowen desired their presence,
and even this small guard it is not
doubted, will be sufficient for all pur-
poses.
