legal right, and they could SHOOT the men

The fight that gave rise to the orders
was the first serious one since the strike
started. 1t was begun by the striking
f1remen. They attempted, successfully,
to remove non union men from boats lcav-
Ing port. d
In several instances there were acts If
violence and large gangs; of strikers

Strikers Are Uneasy.
Buffalo. N. Y. April 16.--The executive
committee of the Marine Fremen, Oilers
and Water Tenders association met last
evening, and the strike situation was dis
cussed. There are some things the execu-
tive committee cannot do without first
ascertaining the position taken by all the
locals. One is to declare, the strike off.
Reports from upper lake ports have been
far from satisfactory. The fact that the
Lake Carriers association is able to man a
great many Of the boats with non union
firemen is causing uneasiness.,

IS HE IN SOUTH DAKOTA?.
The Divorce Case of the Rev, Ralph
H Baldwin,

New York, April 16.-Mrs. Adelaide E.
Baldwin secured from Justice Blanchard
in the supreme court an order for the ex-
animation Of witnesses in Rhode Island in
the suit which she has brought for divorce
from Ralph E. Baldwin, who used to be an
Episcopal clergyman.
Her complaint alleges that Baldwin,
who was at the time acting chaplain of
Bishop Potter. contracted a. common law
marriage with Rebecca Esther Green
wood while he was married to her.
Baldwin was chaplain to Bishop Potter
for several years prior to 1897. The Rev.
George F. Nelson, the bishops secretary,
said that Baldwin came here from Illinois.
Said Mr.. Nelson:
He finally got a call as a rector of
church in Saginaw In 1897 and was trans
ferred to the diocese of Michigan. Sub
sequently he was deposed from the min
istry at his own request. The last I
heard Of him he was teaching school
somewhere in South Dakota. That was
about a year ago.

when I tell you there was a time when
condition that my relatives and friends
would have, at no time, been surprised
to learn of my death. It was all due to
kidney trouble, for, which I could Sc

of my family physician for number
of years, but he was unable to do me
any good. [ also consulted two noted
specialists on kidney diseases, but they
we're unable to give me more than tenn

plicatien to join the army. but was
turned down on account of my bad
physical condition.

of all remedies -SW AMP ROOT.

tie, and its effect upon me was so notice
able that / went Immediately and
bought; a supply from my druggist,
with the result that in comparatively
short time [ had entirely recovered and

army, and for the past four years have
been connected with the Philadelphia
Fire Department.. My work, both in
the army and fighting fire in Philadel-

have a strong physique.

highly of Swamp Root. A few bottles

SWEDEN.

Sea-gulls have been seen in large
numbers on the plains of Skane this
summer. They generally feed in
ponds and lakes; but occasionally
they will follow the plowman, picking
up worms and insects in the fresh
furrow. Old people say that when the
sea-gull lives on land this way there
is very little herring in the neigh
boring seas. This actually happens
to be the case at the present time.
A Swedish mining company which
has it's headquarters in Ostersund has
secured altogether about one thou
sand mineral claims in northern Nor
way, and ore will very soon be export
ed from Kvedfjord. The ore is not so
rich as in Norrland, but in some To-
calities the ore beds are so close to
the sea that the ore may be dumped
into ships directly from the mine.
