STREET CAR STRIKE ENDED.
After Tie-Up of Two Weeks In New
Orleans, a Satisfactory Settle
ment Ia Reached.

New Orleans. Oct. 13.-The strike
OF the street railway employees
which has effectually blocked traffic
on all city lines for two weeks, was
settled Sunday night at six o'clock
by the union almost unanimously &C.
cepting the governors ultimatum on
secret ballot. Negotiations which
began Saturday night continued until
seven o'clock Sunday morning, when
the executive board finally decided
to submit the matter to general
meeting of the union in the after
noon. The basis of settlement is
that the men will go back to work
this morning at 20 cents and ten
hours, with a minimum of 7A hours
a day, no discrimination to be made
against any of the men under
charges, and as many to be taken
back as are needed for the operation
of the company's lines.
There is widespread rejoicing in
the city over the settlement of the
strike. It began Sunday morning
two weeks ago, and has been effec-
tive. Not a single passenger has
been carried on a car since it began,
and no passenger car has gotten
more than five blocks from barn.

In some cases where the hot water
cure for indigestion is used with dis
erection there is really much benefit
from it, says Good Housekeeping.
When hot water is taken to excess,
often at such temperature as to
scald the tongue and palate in drink
ing it, instead of curing indigestion
it will make it worse. The stomach
does its work to best advantage
when food neither very much above
or below the normal temperature of
the human body is consigned to it.

promises. Human beings are to live

death may have no terrors. These are

modern science, but there is still op-

"Geisha." the professional girl en-

be confounde1 with "geinin.' says
Japan and America. The word geisha
really means actor. gel meaning a
play or entertainment of any sort. and
''sha' means a person. For instance.
i-sha means physician, and so on. The
word really means what actor does
in English. but it has come to mean
only those girls in Japan who are
trained to entertain by dancing and
singing to the shamisen and koto. the
usual musical instruments for light en-
tertainments. and they also are trained
to converse agreeably on topics of the
day. "Geinin." on the other hand.
while it really means the same thing
as ceisha. has now come to be applied
to artists. in higher sense.
