STRIKE FOR SANITARY REASON.
Statement From $4,000 Textile Work
ers in philadelphia.

Philadelphia, June 9.-The work
ing committee of the Central Textile
union, composed of one delegate from
each union on strike. met at strike
headquarters and considered the situa-
ton. After a five hours session the
committee, in conjunction with the
executive board of the textile workers,
issued a long statement to the public,
giving reasons for the strike of over
$4,000 men, women and children.
The statement says that the strike
was ordered for sanitary reasons; that
it was necessary because the health of
the men, women and children was at
stake. The statement called attention
to the fact that children were COM
PEELED to work 10 ga hours a day in
the mills from Monday to Friday and
six and one quarter hours on Saturday
The statement asks for the support Of
the public and reiterates the willing
ness of the workers to meet for a con-
ference. The statement also declared
that the textile industry, as shown in
statistics produced before the anthra-
cite coal strike commission, is dead
lier than the mining industry.

MORE THAN 100 DROWNED
FRENCH STEAMER LlBAN RUN
INTO AND SUNK.
Happened Near Marseilles-Liban's
Boilers Expi. ded--Mass of Human
Beings Clinging to the Liban Perish,
Uttering Despairing Cries-Rescued
by Passengers.

Marseilles, June 9.-More than 100
persons persisted near Marseilles as
the result of collision between the
Insulaire and the Liban passenger
steamer belonging to the F'raissenet
Steamship company. The Liban left
Marseilles on its regular passenger
trip to Bastia, Corsica, and was run
down and sunk by the Insulaire off the
Marie islands. The collision was wit
messed from the pilot boat Blechamp,
which was about two miles distant.
The Blechamp Immediately repaired
to the spot to render assistance. The
force of the collision had cut great
hole in the Liban's side, and it was al
ready making water rapidly. The cap
tain saw that the only chance was to
run the steamer aground, and the Lii
ban was headed full speed for the
shore, but within II minutes after the
collision, and while still in deep water,
the forepart of the steamer plunged
beneath the waves and few minutes
later had disappeared.
In the meantime, the Blechamp, the
steamer Balkan, also belonging to the
Fraissenet company, and other YES
sells had drawn near the sinking ship
and were making desperate efforts to
rescue those on board. The Blechamp
picked up 40 persons, many of whom
were at the point of exhaustion. The
Balkan rescued 81 passengers and up
to the present it is known that in ad-
dition to the passengers II OF the
crew were also saved.
Officers of the Balkan describe the
scene just before the Liban disappear
ed as a terrible one. AS the vessel
was sinking it was inclined to such
an angle that the masts struck the
water, causing an eddy, making the
work of rescue most difficult A mass
of human beings was clinging to the
laundering vessel and uttering de
spairing cries as it went down. A
the same time the boilers exploded
intensifying the horrors. For a few
moments the victims were seen strug

Australian Hemp Crop.

When Charles Lamb used to write
to his old friend, Baron Field, judge
in Sydney, N. S. W., in the early days,
he invariably asked in postscript:
How is the hemp crop out your
way?" These inquiries puzzled the
Judge for long time, till one day an
other judge suggested that they might
have some playful reference to the
large amount of hanging that was go
ing on, mostly through Baron Fields

ment for bushrangers and kindred
evildoers. No hemp was grown at the
antipodes in those days, when 1t was
required for home consumption, but
the industry is likely to become an i'm

New Zealand has encouraged its
growth of late and now it appears that
during the past twelve months hemp
to the value OF $3,750,000 has been
produced in that colony.

Whence Came "hurrah"?

Some authorities connect "Hurrah"
with a Hebrew shout of JOY to Je-
hovah, which occurs in the Psalms.
Others derive it from Thor aide!" a
war cry of the ancient mortimer.
Others point to the Swedish and DAN
ish "Hurra," and the German "Hur-
ren," to move quickly; or the Danish
"Hurre," to buzz, with which our hur-
ry is associated.
Sir Francis Palgrave in his history
of Normandy and England, says 1T
was a wise custom in Normandy, es-
tablished by Rollo's decree, that any
one who had reason to fear damage of

looking vaguely into the air He put

Heaps of Trouble for the Editor.

No doubt our readers are wondering
why they have not received the Senti-
mel during the last three weeks. We
will now explain. On account of drunk
enness and carelessness on the part
of our foreman while we were out of
town our press was broken so that
we had to send the parts to Baltimore
for repairs. 1t has taken three weeks
to get them back and get in shape
to do any printing For this reason
we simply could not send out the
paper. We regret it very much, but it
was matter that we could not help.
We now have a new printer and have
the press repaired and hope to visit
our readers regularly hereafter. Bear
with us and excuse us for these mis-
haps, for you do not know of the
many worries and troubles of a man
who runs paper.-Lagrange IN. c.

SULTAN AND HIS PLAYERS.
Actors Have Military Organization ana
Are Subject TO lmtnedia ate Call.

are OuUlcCI "
The sultan of Turkey has ms own
way of taking his theatrical pleasures
An account of the performances given
before him was recently made pubic
by one who was long attached to the
palace staff, and it reads like ale ex'
aggerations of comic opera librettist,
The power that controls all these
performances is Arturo Stravolo'
known simply as Arturo, who came
from Naples some years ago and set
tied with his father, mother, sisters
and brothers and sisters-in-law in Con-
stantinople. He was formerly dia-
lect comedian in Naples.
He is a prime favorite with the sui
tan. The other actors are called to
the palace to perform not oftener than
once month. Art1ro acts at least
weekly.
As the sultan is very fond Of variety
and will rarely consent to witness the
same performance twice 1t is neces-
sary to provide constant change. To
travelling through the European capt.
tails at the expense of his patron seek
ing novelties.
All of the sultan's actors must wear
a certain uniform They have mill
tary organization. Angelo is lieuten-
ant; the violinist Luigi, is a captain I;
the baritone, Gaetano, is a major, and
the tenor. Nicola, is a general. The
performances take place at no fixed
time, but whenever it appears to the
sultan that he would like to see a
show. Thus the company, like sol
diers, must always be ready to march
Frequently the director of the or
| chestra, Amanda Pasha, will be noti
fed in the middle of the night that
he must come to the palace as quickly
as possible. He learns on arriving
that his majesty desires to hear "Ur
Ballo in Maschera," or some Other
opera. AS the sultan's wish is a com
mand, the opera begins within half al
hour.
The sultan sits entirely alone, as {
rule, and If any point in the action o
either play or opera is not clear HI
halts the performers until it is ex
planned to him.
