PIANO STRIKE COMING,
Steinway Refuses Demands That
Would Control His Factory,

The New York Tribune today says:
to 1000 men throughout the city, have been
planned by the Piano Makers Union for
recognition of that body, beginning with a
strike in all the factories of Steinway &
Sons on October /. This will be the first
strike against Steinway & Sons in twenty
one years. The strike will be under the
auspices of the Piano and Organ Makers
International Union of America.
The demand that all the 800 men in the
factories of the firm join the union before
October 1 has been made on the firm with
the ultimatum that unless this is done a
general strike will be ordered on that date.
The demand has been refused by the firm
as were also demands for time and a half
for overtime and double wages for work
done on Sundays and legal holidays
President Charles H. Steinway of the firm
said in an interview this evening:
ITO grant the demand would mean that
the union would run our shops. This we
could by no means agree to. The union
men say that they Will not work with the
non-union men. There are, we believe only
one-thrd of the men in the union, and it
would be just as logical If the non-union
men demanded the discharge of the union
men. In September, 1882, the men went on
strike for a similar demand to the present
one. We discharged Them and the strike
was lost. Since then we have not dscrimi-
mated either against union or non-union
men, and have paid the higher wages. If
the men strike we will have to discharge
them and fill their places This we do not
want to have to do, as we are on good
terms with them"

COL. URELL'S ILLNESS.
Suffers From an Attack of Kidney
Trouble and Indigestion.

Col. NJ. Emmett Urell. commander-in chief
of the Spanish War Veterans is confined to
his bed at his apartments in the Belmont

Veterans in New Haven. Conn, next Sat
urday night. during the session Of the an
nual encampment of the order He is quite
anxious to attend that function, as we'll as

A number of Col Urell's friends called to
see him today. but were disappointed be-
cause of the prohibition of the doctors.

IF CONDITIONS JUSTIFY IT.
Cruisers Win Be Sent to French
SoHaaliland

In case the condition of affairs In Turkey
will justify the Withdrawal Of the cruisers
Brooklyn and SaiH Francisco from Beirut
and the gunboat Machias from Port Said
where they have been for the past few
weeks. 1t is probable that all three vessels,
comprising the present European squad
ron, will be sent to Jibuti. a port in French
Somaliland on the east coast OF Africa
The purpose OF this cruise is, as was recent
ly stated in The star. to show the interest
taken by the United States in the estab-
lishment Of intimate commercial relations
with the government of Abyssinia.
Mr.. Skinner, United States consul general
at Marseille is to make a personal visit to
King Menelik at his capital Ads Abeba, in
the mountains of the interior of his ex-
tensive domains, for the purpose of negoti-
ating commercial treaty. Mr.. Skinner Is
now in this country making arrangements
for his expedition, and will probably start
in about two or three weeks for the eastern
Mediterranean, from which point he will
complete his journey to Jibuu on one of the
vessels of Admiral Cotton's squadron. If
1t Is decided to send the entire squadron to
the east coast of Africa on this mission it
will not be necessary for the vessels to
leave their present stations for at least a
month. Mr.. Skinner will be accompanied
on his expedition to the interior by small
guard of marines from the European squad
ron under the command of commissioned
officer, the selection of whom will proba bly,
be left to Rear Admiral Cotton.

GIFT TO SIR THOMAS.
Entire Country Subscribing Toward
Testimonial in Silver.

A New York dispatch of last night says:
The Upton testimonial committee met at
the Waldorf today and examined designs
for the testimonial that the American peo-
Pile will present to Sir Thomas Upton. Two
Tiffany designs were considered the best Of
those submitted, and one of them Is likely
to be the final choice. One showing the
American Indian, buffalo. sea gulls and
American eagle. with delicate trimmings,
comprising dainty festoons of Indian corn,
was much favored, though smaller de-
sign, with a clever representation Of Sham
rock III. was also greatly admired. The
committee wishes 1t understood that 1t has
made no final decision, and invites all to
submit designs.
Money is coming in rapidly and the indi-
cations are that the fund will reach 5000
or 10000 If so, more elaborate design
may be ordered. or the testimonial NAV be
Of gold instead of silver. More than S. 600
in subscriptions arrived yesterday. or this
amount $500 came from Senator Kearns of
Utah. The enthusiasm over the testimonial
is general. for even Portland, Ore, is de-
termined to be represented.
The subscriptions will be open for sew
eral days. although 1t is hoped to get the
testimonial finished so that it NAV he nre
sented to Sir Thomas before he sails for
Europe.

Ancient Insurance.
From the New York Independent.


Juvenal in his satires mentions remark
able business that was carried on in ancient
Rome. It consisted of buying houses on
fire. The Spectator hurried to the scene
of the confagration attended by slaves
carrying bags Of money and others carry
ing tools. He judged the chances of sal
wage and made bid to the distracted house
owner. who was. as a rule. glad to accept
anything. The bargain struck in all haste,
this earliest Of fire assurers set his slaves
instantly to work and secured what he
could Sometimes he even put out the
flames and so made a coup. 1t was a bust
ness for capitalists. but the poorest who
specialized in small way could hardly lose
If he had presence of mind enough to grasp
the chances. 1t was in this way that Cras-
sus laid the foundation Of his great wealth.
He gradually collected force of slaves
trained as carpenters, masons and such
artiicers. which finally reached 500 men.
Not only did he buy houses On fire, but he
also made "a bid for those adjoining which
stood in danger. His proposals. it is said.

WOMAN WELL TREATED.
Her Comfort Considered in Every Pos
sible Way in These Days.

From the New York Evening Sun.
Never has there been a time when the wo-
man who goes out to shop or to amuse her
self was so we'll treated as at present. Her
commercial value is recognized and every
thing is done to make her as comfortable
as possible. That this is but recent in
novation may be seen by the different ar
rangements in the old and new shops. In
the old shops she shopped and left. In the
modern shops every effort Is made to in
duce her to linger. There are large and
luxurious parlors where she can rest, lie
down If she likes or write her letters on
stationery engraved with the name OF the
firm.
1t is not only because women have been
remiss in the care of their shoes that shoe
backing chairs have been put into many OF
the shops. If the shoes milady wears have
been purchased in that place she can have
them polished free of charge. If not, she
will pay cents, and pretty little colored
girl gives them shine she can see her face
in. In one shop there is patent weighing
machine in the dressing room. Mllady puts
a penny in the slot and her weight printed
on q card comes out to her through another
opening. In the same room there are cleo
trio curling irons with which she can ar
range her disheveled locks.
One large shop has a big wheeled chair.
II customer anywhere in the establish
ment is suddenly taken i'll the chair Is
taken to her. She is carried in it to the
dressing room. where a comfortable couch
and an attentive maid await her. If the
woman wishes to invest in tea she
goes to the big oriental shop. There
Is the prettiest little tea room i'm

Louis XIV Coins Unearthed.


While some workmen were raising a largo

department of Finistere, France. belong
ing to a retired navy doctor. they came
across huge leather bag, which was found
to contain quantity of silvc- coins, mostly
of the reign Of Louis XIV, and of a total
weight Of tifty-eight kilograms. 1t is very
interesting collection, as every silver coin
Of that time is believed to be represented
in it, The explanation of the slowing away
of all this money is thought to be that
during a famine. which prevailed in the
early part Of the eighteenth century. the
wealthy were ordered to send their plate to
the mint to be converted into coinage. Va
rious provincial landowners, however. pre-
ferred to conceal their valuables, SO 1t is
calculated that the treasure just discov-
red at Audierne has been resting in it's hid
ing place for nearly 200 years. 1t is added
that in conformity with the articles of the
civil code relating to such matters, the
money has been divided in equal portions
between the owner of the house, on the one
hand and the workmen who found 1t on
the other. Each party certainly did exc
tremely well that day.

the place. The comforts offered to women
shoppers are evidently to his taste. After
her tea the woman may retire to shaded
parlor furnished in wicker. with blue rugs
and hangings. and blue Canton china for
decoration. Resting in a reclining chair
she will consider how she may furnish her
country home in a similarly cool and mex
penSive way.
Theaters now have parlors for women,
where all the toilet requisites may be found,
not emitting the powder pot. Similar con-
venfences may be found in the big hotels
where women drop in for luncheon. In one
much patronized by women special parlor
has recently been arranged. 1t has couches,
easy chairs and a desk, and the private ele
vator to it Is run by woman. Even the
babies are considered in the general atten-
ton paid to the comfort of women. A popu-
larry priced theater has a nursery. Mothers
may attend the family matinee and leave
their babies in neat little beds under the
charge of the attendant nurse.
