ADVANTAGE OF HAVING BROTHERS.
BY Marion p. MoWbraY.

1t is an indisputable fact that the girl who
grows up with plenty Of brothers has a great
advantage in knowing and understanding men
when she arrives at years of discretion. What Is
more important, such a girl is much more COM
panionable to a man. If young men exercise any
thought when choosing their sweethearts they
cannot do better than select girl with brothers.

THE BIC STRIKES
ALL SETTLED BUT oNE-NEGRO
COAL WHEELERS STILL OUT.
ILLINOIS CENTRAL STRIKE.
Declared Off-The Cost of the Tieup
Estimated to Reach Half
Million Dollars.

New Orleans, La: Cotton handling
was resumed on all ships in the har-
Dor today under the terms of Sundays
settlement on the basis Of ninety bales
with screws and 100 bales hand
slowed, after complete tieup of all
cotton handling since Thursday morn
ing, Oct. /. The screwmen at first
refused to go into the two steamships,
Orion of the Harrison line and Next
can of the Leyland line, which had TIA
ken on cargo by non-union labor,
but their officers ordered them into
the holds and the trouble ended.
The strike Of the Illinois Central
freight handlers was declared off to-
night and the men return to work to-
morrow on the old conditions to work
out the expiration of the contract
Their position was declared untenable
by the international officers and the
men will go back before their places
are filed. The Illinois Central had
rushed 1913 members of it's secret ser.
vice department to the scene to pro,
tect imported laborers.
This leaves only the strike of 500
coal wheelers, and it is not interfering
to any extent with the ports com.
MERGE; therefore shipping began to
move today with a vim.
But it has been one of the costliest
tieups this port has ever sustained
1t will reach the enormous figure of
half a million dollars, and may go over
that. The cost of bringing the strike
breakers here amounte dto $4,000,
and The loss in wages TO labor was
$4,000. During the first ten days of
October, 1902, 10000 bales of cotton
passed through this port. This year
during the same time not bale left
/ the port. That cotton leaves about SO
per bale behind, which would mean n
loss of $4,000 1t is estimated that
100000 bales will be diverted this
year, owing to the trouble. Already
! over 100000 bushels of grain have
! gone elsewhere that would have come
here. Fourteen ships have been tied
up ten days at an expense of about
$500 per day per ship. Counting the
loss OF business to the port, the traffic
that has been diverted either tempo
rarily or permanently, will all foot III
to over 100000.

San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 10.-Street
cars were run on the San Pedro line
today from IL a. m. until shutdown,
and on the Government Hill line from
O'Clock until shutdown, and then were
run into the shed for the night.
Along the San Pedro line there was
some little disorder during the first
hours by sympathizers of the strikers,
but officers were on hand, and num-
Der of arrests were made.
On the Government Hill line mob
Of over a hundred attacked car run
by strike breakers at Maverick Park
and forced the men to abandon the
car and take refuge until officers ar
rived and dispersed the rioters. Along
this line rocks were thrown from the
second stories of buildings at the mot
ormen and conductors as the cars
passed along the street, one Of the men
being struck.

During the meeting H. c. Carter, a
lawyer representing the strikers, and

New Orleans, La, Oct. 10.-The cris-
is in the levee strike was postponed
today by the action of Mayor Capde-

tempted arbitration. After twelve
hours of fruitless effort he declared
tonight that he could do nothing and
notified the ship agents that he would
protect them in their effort to work
the non-union men who have been I'M

The delay has not bettered the sit

crowd of screwmen paraded the levee

their work and let the ships take care

even to meet the Mayor in his efforts

young lady with artistic aspirations

Early in the morning the tension be-
came acute when it was known that
300 bales of cotton had burned on the
river front, and that cotton on an
other wharf had been set afirs with an
aggregate loss of $4,000. Suspicion
at once fell upon the screwmen.

fire brand, but no direct proof could
be secured.

clared they were brought here with

a card playing school in West -Four

who do not know how to play some
of the family games feel out of place

card playing and the fact that lists
of prize winners at euchres are often
given in the newspapers have worked
a great change. The fact that society
women play bridge whist for high
stakes does not alter the fact that
women in coy quiet families may
play it for pennies, or even for but
tons. There are a number of families
that are in the habit of meeting once
a week for games, and play for
nickles, the money being all put into
