CHICAGO STREET CAR STRIKE.
Police and Patrol Wagons Keep Of
Interference

Interference.
Chicago, Nov. 14.4-Under practical
ly the same police tactics as were
employed yesterday four cars left the
Wentworth avenue barns on the south
ern outskirts of the city, and headed
toward the business district, 9 miles
distant. Police aboard the cars, with
patrol wagons almost cordoning the
cars, kept off interference with the
movement of cars.
A large crowd about the Seventy-sev-
enth street barn jeered and hooted at
the police and car men as the cars
moved out, but offered no violence.
A hundred policemen massed at the
point kept the crowd at a safe dis.
tance. Police Captain Shippy, with
detail of police, rode on the first
car.
At Thirty-ninth street Inspector La.
vim was waiting to take the cars the
remainder of the way. No relaxation
in police vigilance was apparent.
Eight to ten men were stationed
on every block and the crowds were
kept moving.

worth that amount was erroneously con-

battleship Olympia. The regulations
prescribe that when ammunition is found
to be defective 1t may be landed or thrown
oFsrboard as may be found most conven-
lent. The latter course was persued, and
when the report was made to the navy
department 1t was feared that there were
thousands Of dollars worth Of defective
powder In the magazines and arsenals.

dered, and now it is believed that the
powder destroyed was condemed as the

Your Chest Should BE Breezy.
The doctor hears some curious noises
when he places his stethoscope against
your chest When the lungs are In a
healthy condition, the medical gentle
man hears a pleasant, breezy eound,
soft in tone, as you draw in the breath
and expel it. Should the instrument
convey to his ear a gurgling or bub-
bling sound he makes a mental note of
the fact that you are in what is known
as the moist stage of bronchitis. In the
dry stage Of the same complaint the
sound is a whistling, wheezy one.
One of the signs of pneumonia Is the
cracking note that comes through the
stethoscope. 1t is not unlike the sound
that can be heard when your fingers
and thumb have touched a sticky sub
stance and you first place them togeth-
er and then part them, holding them
close to your ear.
Doctors occasionally hear a dripping
sound, and that indicates that air and
water have got into some part Of the
chest where they have no right to be.
Blow across a bottle and you will pro-
duce a sound which is actually to be
heard in your chest. IT is caused in the
same way-that is, by air passing over
q cavity.

Nelson, like all the greatest COM

takes and his failures, but there is only
one instance on record Of his having
been actually defeated in a direct at
tack. This occurred at Santa Cruz, in
the Canary islands, on July "a, 1897.
The place was very strongly fortified,
and Nelson, in the face Of fire OF hfty
guns from the batteries, attempted to
storm the town by boats. The attempt
was frustrated by the strength Of the
mole and the nonappearance of a land
force which should have co-operated.
A hundred and fifty men were killed
and IL hundred wounded on the British
side, and Nelson lost his right arm

Dear Sir, Here's what "wears longer''
means.
d. T. McGown, Cooperstown, N. Y,
built house In 'S5 and painted Devoe.
The paint lasted ten years.
A year or two later a neighbor built a
house and painted 1t lead and oil. The
neighbor's house was repainted twice In
the same time.
This looks as II the neighbours house
was painted three times in eight or nine
years, and McGown's once In ten years.
We are not quite sure-we tell the tale
as it comes to us.
1t is enough to say that Devoe Lead
and Zinc lasts twice as long as lead and
oil alone. The reason is: white lead ia
soft and ehalks on; zinc is hard; and,
when thoroughly ground into the lead,
prevents its chalking and makes Il more
durable.
