END OF THE HACKNEY.
How He Is Worn Out In the Service
of Society.

The prancing, high stepping hack
neys that draw the shiny carriages of
the rich are often driven the pace that
kills. In Horses Nine Sewell Ford
tells the story of such horse and his
mate and how they were worn out.
The author says: Seeing them come
down the street, heads tossing, pole
chains jingling, the crest and mono
gram of the house OF Jerry glistening
on quarter cloth and roSette. their pol
ished hoofs seeming barely TO touch the
asphalt, you might have thought their
lot one to be enyiel. But Bonfire
knew better.
He curved his neck and threw his
hoofs high, whether his muscles ached
or no: in winter he stamped to keep
warm, in summer to dislOdge the flies;
he did his work faithfully, early or
late, in cold and in heat, and all this
because he was a son Of Sir Bardolph
and for the reason that it was his ma
ture to. Had it been put upon him he
would have worked in harness until
he dropped. prancing his best TO the
last.
No supreme test, however, was ever
brought to the endurance and willing
ness Of Bonfire. They just kept him
on the pole, nerves tense, muscles
strained, until he began to lose fern.

and abandon which 80 pleased Mrs.

vx11oen,s Plea For the Beers.

NEW YORK, May 4.-Commandant viljoen, late of the Boer forces in the Transvaal, in a letter to the New York Herald calls on the English govern ment and press for policy of clemen- cy and forbearance. "One of the prime causes" he says, Keeping alive the sparks of warfare and race hatred Is the unfuldlled promise on the part of the British government to proclaim a general amnesty. Let England follow the example of the United States gov ernment when the Confederates laid down their arms at the close of the civil war. I feel sure that the Boers of South Africa who have accepted the inevitable will Loyalty join their coun- trymeq of English blood in making South Africa the greatest federation of the British empire. am no longer har- boring feelings of hostility toward the English nation, accepting as do its pledge to be faithful to the peace treaty signed at Vereeniging"

sTRIKERs' UNIQUE SCHEME.

Track Men Tramp Thr0uGh New York
 and Connecticut YoT ReOr@Ats.
 STAMFORD, Conn, May 4.-Wlth- out previous warning twenty-five track men employed by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad compa- ny in the Harlem river yards went on strike. The men demanded $2 per day and eight hours.
 The twenty-five started fer New Ha- ven on foot with the idea of inducing all other laborers employed on track and construction work between New York and New Haven to quit. There are about 6,ooo such laborers in the city of Bridgeport alone.
 The strikers are unorganized. With out any recognized leader they set out on their tramp. As they marched along the track they armed themselves with clubs. Practically all the section and track men between New York and Rye were induced to quit by the mob before the company officials realized what was taking place.
 When the strikers passed through Stamford, their band numbered about POO. They made no disturbance here. The track men and laborers seem to be afraid of them, and 1t looks as if their march would cause an extended tie up of construction on the New York divi. sion.

Rock Minera' Mass Meeting.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, May 4.-A mass meeting of rock miners was held in this city yesterday to take action on the 10 per cent advance decreed by the coal commission which the men claim they are not receiving. This class of miners are now all members of the United Mine Workers union, but as they work for individual contractors they have not received the advance given to the other miners. The rock men now propose to have an under standing, and if the advance is not given them within the next two weeks they will all go on strike. B. L. Som- mers, chairman of the meeting, stated that the rock men formerly had a un- ion of their own, but they all joined the United Mine Workers, and when the latter declared rock work unfair during the long strike the rock men quit with the rest.

Members Fight Each Other and
 Then Unite Against Police.
 JOLIET, H., May A pitched bat tie, in which prayer books and broken furniture were the missiles, took place in the Slavonic Roman Catholic church here, and when the police arrived to quell the disturbance the belligerents turned from each other and united their forces against the officers. The fight, which grew out of old factional differences, resulted in no serious bodi- ly harm to any of the 2,000 men, wo- men and children who were in the church when it began, but the panic among the affrighted women and chil. dren was the cause of severe bruises Bloody and lacerated faces and hands were evidence of the flerceness of the contest, and the protests of Father Kollar and others were unavailing to restore peace.
 The men had been penned in by a mob of angry women, who pelted the stronger sex with whatever they could lay their hands on. The men who could fled or jumped from the win dows, and when the police arrived they returned to the assistance of the women. It was not until the police had drawn their revolvers and threat ened to use them that peace was re stored and arrests were made.

Union Men in New Haven Go To Ex-
 tremes to Win Strike.
 New Haven, May 1.-The extremes to which the hackmen are willing to resort in order to win their strike was well illustrated on Grand avenue Sat- urday morning when the funeral pro- cession of Michael King of No PA Hamilton street was interrupted by union hack drivers The drivers, all of whom were employed by Kinney Brothers, objected to the presence of two men in the procession who were not members of their organiza ton. AS soon as the funeral procession left the church en route for the cemetery, the union men slowed up. This was at o'clock. They stopped the process sion four times i'll as many blocks and 1t was after Il o'clock before the mat ter was strengthened out and the pro- cession was allowed to move toward St Lawrence cemetery.
 The undertaking firm who had charge of the funeral employed Kin ney's carriages and men. The Kin ney firm is the only one that has sign ed the new agreement with its drivers When the discovery was made that two of the drivers were not union mer the union drivers threat tened to quit work then and there unless the non union drivers were sent off. A large crowd gathered and the police were summoned, but there was no disorder although members of the union became rather forcible in their attitude tow ards the non-union drivers. The un' ion men gained their point before they consented to drive their horses to the graveyard.

FORMING A POOL.
To Get Possession of All Coal Lands

To Get Possession of All Coal Lands
 in the Choctaw Nations
 Kansas City, Mo, May A special to the Journal from South McAlester, I. T., says: Big f1nanciers, headed by Fl. O.. Prick Of Pittsburg and John w. Gates of Chicago are forming pool to get possession of all the coal lands in the Choctaw nation There are 4OO,- 900 acres in the nation which will be sold at public auction and the proceeds divided among the Choctaws in ac- cordance with an act of congress- The price agreed on by the Prick Gates syndicate is $25 an acre. It Is not the intention of the syndicate to disturb the present mining companies, either large or small, or the coal leases. All that the pool financiers want is the undeveloped coal lands. Tliey willy let the companies now mining coal buy the land covered by their leases, but no more. 1t is said some of the i'm portant mine concerns are not able to buy the land which they now have leased and the syndicate will buy it for them and allow them to operate it on royalty of eight cents ton, the same as they are now paying the In- dians. Some of the men in the syndi- cate will purchase the land for devel- opment, while others will hold it for speculative purposes. Prick is to get the land along the Fort Smith & Vest ern railway which he owns.
 Gates wants a tract of land tn the eastern part of the Choctaw country, which carries a quantity of coal es- pecially suited for cooking purposes. George Gould is to get a large tract in the vicinity of South McAlester.
