STRIKE DECLARED OFF.
Local Union Met and Took Officia
Action Last Night.
Ivy Associated Press \

NORFOLK, VA, March 31.-The street
car strike was officially declared off at
u O'clock tonight. This action as
taken by the members of the local union
after a meeting lasting over four hours
and during which the entire matter Vas
discussed and each point taken up. The
real cause of the calling Off Of the strike
is that it has become tiresome to the
business people and the men have lost the
sympathy gained during the first Two
weeks of the strike.
A meeting of the Central Labor body
has been called for tomorrow night, at
which time the boycott will be lifted and
matters run as before the declaration of
the strike.

An American woman who under

to comprehend Italianized English,
had at a hotel in Florence an expe-
rience which she relates with glee,
says Youths Companion.
She had asked that carriage
might beSready for her at certain
hour. She waited in the parlor for
it to be announced, and when the
time had passed she made complaint
that her request had not been re-
garded.
"But, madame, send up boy
where you and the other madam
were sitting, ten minutes ago, and
command him to announce your
equipage," said the clerk.
"a boy said something in the door
way" said the lady, doubtfully, ''but
as he spoke in a language unknown
to me, and did not seem to be adj
dressing me, 1 paid no attention to
him.
The boy, being summoned, gazed
with brown, reproachful eyes at the
lady.
"But I speak America" he said,
plaintively. 81 bow my head and say,
fast, very fast: 'M'darm, m'darm,
