Enthusiastic and BoisterOus Crowd at the Car
 Barns Last Night
CARS AND BARNS STONED. MANY WINDOWS BROKEN
The Two Policemen Hand Unable to Check the Disturbance A Few Cars Running To-day on the Same Lines-Very Few People Patronize Them-More Money
 For the Strikers

The first actual violence in connec. ton with the trolley strike took place last evening when a large mob de- scended upon the property of the com pany and broke in the windows in a long line of cars, pelted the barn with stones and made a general uproar. This is exactly what the manager of the company, Mir Sewell has been waiting for for the last few days. This is the biggest card he can play against the strikers; it is precisely what he wants so that he can set up the cry of the, coal mine operators during the strike, 'Give me protection and I will run the cars"
 But the damage done to the property of the company, while it is quite seri- ous, is not of a character to convince the public that the strikers had any thing to do with it, nor is it irrepar- able or big financial loss.. The prin- cfpal damage consists of broken glass.
 From the time the cars stopped run ming when darkness began, until late in the night a large crowd of small boys iounged around the vicinity of the car barn where the non-union men are housed and protected; kept like bait before hungry and somewhat angry fish. Had the men not been in sight there would have been no disturbance and the company's property would not have been damaged. Had there been the slightest effort on the part of the management to avert trouble there would have been none They were given all the police protection they asked, two policemen, when the most ignorant knew that trouble was brew ing around the car barn for the past few days.
 There was then little opposition TO the growing crowd, which could not be handled by two policemen. Men, wo- men and small boys and girls consti- tuted this crowd and when the time was ripe for a burst of anger it came with a crash of glass from the cars and barn. Stones pounded on the sides of the barn like hail. The small boy was everywhere with his arms full of stones. ni1mindful that he was iniur- ing the cause of the strikers, doubtless thinking he was doing it more good than any half a dozen men in the city. The policemen could not catch them. They made their way through the crowd better than the policemen.
 When the first half dozen volleys were given and no arrest was made, others joined in the attack and soon it became general. Women took a hand in it, girls screamed, boys and men yelled frantic. It was said that some young women tainted with ex- citement and the pressure of the crowd But still the attack was go- ing on, stones bounded of the sides of the roofs of the cars and barn like hail off an elephants back. Such mis- siles as were used did all the damage they possibly could, that is break glass. The crowd was so active it was impossible to make arrests. The few police were powerless and reinforce ments had to be sent for. When they arrived the crowd had melted away and the night of excitement was over.

enty-five Italian laborers employed in
the track depression work of the Lack

dirt from the excavation snapped. and
a number of laborcrs in the trench mar

the derrick of the hosting machine

into the excavation, broke his back and
died. Lately Frank Fitzpatrick Of this

DRINK LESS; GAMBLE MORE,
Habits of Men and Women Have
Greatly Changed in Last Quar-
ter of "a Century.

Much more attention is now paid to
the liver than was formerly the case,
says the London Graphic. The doc
tors in recent years have traced many
ills to drink, and have trained their
patients to be abstemious. That is
one of the causes of the decrease which
has been referred to. Another is that
the h~igh-spirited man, who was no
body's enemy but his own" who drank
to keep his spirits up, is no longer
a favorite. On the contrary, he is
avoided. The increased habit of din
ing in restaurants has also acted as a
check. 1t is to be observed, too, that
the boisterous element has been al
most entirely removed. Up to about
20 years ago Notwithstanding"
"~larking," practical joking, the hearty
style of meeting which found express
sion in a violent slap upon the back,
were not only tolerated, but popular.
All that is discredited now.
On the other hand, there is much
more gambling to-day than there was,
though, so far as cards are concerned,
the stakes r considerably smaller.
Three estates los. in three nights in
an incident which this generation is
ignorant of. But almost everyone oc-
casionally CANDLES in stocks and
shares, and many make speculation their
chief object in life. Bridge has become
little less than a disease among wom-
en-. Many of the latter spend most of
their afternoons and evenings over the
card table. At the clubs, too, bridge
often commences early in the after
noon, while most of the gamblers in
former days only began playing in the
late hours of the evening.

More Than One Third Die.

The principal reason why more than
ore third of the people die from kidney
diseases in some form is because it is so
insiduous that the kidneys may be badly
affected before the victim realizes his

kidney trouble take Foley's Kidney Cure

GERMANY ASSENTS.
Recognition Of Panama Means
Approval of Our Action.
OTHER POWERS EXPECTED TO FOLLOW
Such Action Exempts From All Obli-
CATION, So Far as New Republic Is
C~OnceEned, the Five Mile Canal
Strip Now Under Our Control.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-GermaDy
has recognized the republic of Panama
as Il sovereign ard Independent state.
Baron Won Dem Observation-Disclosures
sen, first secretary of embassy and
charge d'affaires, has addressed Il note
to NJ. Bunau-Varilla, the minister from
Panama, informing him that, the Ger
man government having received his
notification of the creation of the new
republic and his formal assurances
that Panama assumed and would exc
cute all obligations contained in the
treaties between Germany and Colon
bia SO far as they affected territory
over which Panama is now sovereign,
his majesty, the emperor and king, ex-
tended full recognition to the new re-
public and best wishes for it's prosper
ity and long life.
Several days ago when the German
government inquired of Minister Blu
nau-Varilla whether Panama would
carry out the treaty s%tipulations of the
existing conventions between Germany
and Colombia the minister replied that
his government readily assumed these
obligations so far as they affected the
territory over which the republic of
Panama exercised sovereignty, but that
the Panama government must necessa-
rily exempt from this pledge the canal
strip, over which the Hay-Bunau-Varil-
Ia treaty grants sovereign rights. power
and authority to the United States. The
German government has readily assent
ed to this exemption, thus s%ignifying
her approval of this provision Of the
new canal treaty.
Baron Won Dem Bussche called at the
state department and officially in
formed this government of Germany's
action.
In view of the precedent set by Ger
many it is expected that the other Eu-
ropean powers will grant an equally
full recognition to the new republic and
exempt from all obligations so far as
the Panama government is concerned

the canal route commonly known as
the canal strip.
