entered upon the second day OF the con
test to prevent the employment OF non
union men by the railroads ana other
corpora tons in Boston. Two thousand
more men from the Expressman's I'M

The General Team Drivers union

estimated that 20 per cent of the total
number are out. This added about
1900 men to the ranks of the strikers,
President J. J. Ryan of the Long

dered a general strike Of all longshore-

$500 men. The freight handlers at
the Boston and Maine yards were also

of two nonunion men. who were rough
ly handled on the outskirts of the city
by four or five strikers, there have
been no assaults brought to the atten-

The two railroads principally affected
by the strike-the New York, New Ha-

FEAR INJURY 10 TRADE.
British Scent Danger In Reciprocity
With Cuba.

bTItiAn scent nHNSPr III hecIpTocltS
with Cuba.
london. March l2-DelpgnteS from
number of the British chambers OF
commerce visited the foreign secretary
Lord LansIlowne. at the foreign office
during the day and presented Il memo
rial relative to British trade with Gu
ba, pointing out that it was feared that
when the administration Of that iSlanI
was handed over to the Cubans a reel
procity treaty would be negotiated ad
hitting Cuban produce into the United
States at reduced duties and granting
corresponding preferential terms to
American produce and manufactures
by Cuba.
"The United States" says the memo
rial, "when declaring war on Spain,
expressly stated TINT its action would
be limited to freeing Cuba from Span
isll rule. 1t was therefore understood
by those in Europe gagged in trade
with Cuba that no measures would be
adopted at the conclusion of the war
which wouM restrict or destroy their
trade with that island. Such IA reel
procity treaty as that anticipated
would undoubtedly put an end to Eu
ropcnn trade with the island The
chambers therefore most earnestly re
quest that the utmost effort be made
by his majeSty's minister at Washing
ton to prevent the signing Of any such
treaty, or at least to secure that the
most favored treatment he continued
by Cuba to this country. 1t is repre-
scented that French and German inter
csts would suffer by a reciprocity
treaty, and it is suggested that a joint
protest might be etfectual in prevent
ing a change adverse to the interests
of Europe in trade with Cuba"
The interview was private, but the
correspondent understands that. while
promising to look into the matter. Lord
IansdOwne gave but faint encourage
ment to the delegation.

IndustriaIisIn and Nature.

Much though artists and nature-lov-

IL should not be forgotten that there
Is something considerable to be said
on the other side. 1t is true that in
many hundred places throughout our
islands views once charming in their
unmitigated rusticity are now Scared
by reeking manufactures, or their
necessary cOncomitants, rows of mega
brick dwelling-houses, and that in
other places whole country-sides have
been blackened and blighted far and
wide. Yet, given a tract Of country
not endowed with a wealth of coal
and iron, or otherwise convenient for
great manufactures, that very feature
of an intensely concentrated popula.
tion which marks the Industrial dis.
tricts will tend actually to increase its
seclusion. As employers of country
labor know to their cost the increase
of population in England is very far
from being evenly distributed. The
working classes flock more and more
into the towns or great semi-urban dis
tricts, and in many rural neighbor.

ADrnmatic Incident.

1t had been an experience meeting.
Ten thousand people were assembled
in the great auditorium by the sea.
There had been the hand-shake, the
waving of handkerchiefs, the hymns,
the prayer, the word which told the
spiritual history of many a soul.
The bishop stood upon the platform
in the act of pronouncing the benedic-
ton. Emotion was at its height; it
seemed as If spiritual wave had
swept over the multitude, wrapping it
in a divine cGress.
At that moment a little child was
passed up to the platform and the
bishop took it in his arms. Lost
child" were the whispered words. The
baby put its dimpled arms about the
bishops neck and laid its head upon
his shoulder, its yellow curls mingling
with his gray hair.
Lost child" said the bishop, in his
deep, sympathetic voice, docs any one
in the audience know this baby, or to
whom it belongs? Will the father or
mother come and claim it?'
There was silence and the baby nes-
tied closer. and the women who sat
near said, "Ohr
Then man was seen making his
way to the altar; It was the babys
father. Instantly the child stretched
out its arms to go to him. Then, as
he gave it up, the bishop said:
There are ten thousand lost souls
in Ocean Grove. The Fathers arms
are waiting to receive them. So, CO.

has this little child" ."-Detroit Free

Prices For Shaving Dead Men.

"The union prices in Washington call

than $3.50, and the amount runs all
the way up from that to 50. In the
