you eyer in all your life see such a fine, orderly set of men as those troll iey fellows who are out on strike? Say. they are credit to the city, to themselves and to the company which discharged them for not reporting for duty when commanded to do so. Well, there's always two sides to all such misunderstanding and we think the present trolley strike is no exception to the rule. Of course, the head "Su- perl thinks there is only his side to the question, therefore there's no need Of arbitration but he'dl find out different before the present trouble IS over: he'll also find out that none of fhe officials will get round-shouldered counting the nickels and dimes and, an all probability, he'll find out if the men known as "ScabS" are worth what he's paying them, the old rell-- 8bleS are worth at least S2.25 per day.
 "A lady purchaser at our store when questioned if she had come on the trolley answered, ''NO, and haven't only one coat to my name, but II l was presented with S100 seaisfin l wouldn't ride until the strike is set ted Such are the remarks you hear on ali sides. Remember, 1t takes cool head to go through such tan talizing situation and we say to all parties concerned if they will drink nothing but good Tea and Coffee they'll find everything will come out as 1t should (for the besb.

VERY NEAR A SETTLEMENT
Chicago Street Railway Strike Seems To
Be Coming to an End in
Short Time.

Chicag go, Nov. 21.-The street car
strike seems near an end. The COM
pany sent a communication to the
council Cancellation committee, in
,yhich it said it would arbitrate the
question of wages, but no other ques-
ton. Then E. r. Bliss, general coun-
sci for the company, and Clarence OAR
row, who acted for the strikers, went
into a conference. After the adjourn
ment of this conference barrow said:
I'VE have been having conferences
all day with the representatives of the
street railway company, trying to ar
range the schedules so as to fix the
number of hours the men will have to
work. 1t looks to me as if we would
practically agree on them. 1t appears
very favorable for the elimination Of
all the questions except the question
of wages, and if everything is elimin-
ated but that question it will mean it's
submission to arbitration. My own
idea is, but, of course, it is conjecture,
that the matter will be settled very
soon"

was that the law must take it's course.

The fire started from an Overheated
stove while the men wereasleep. There
was terrible panic. The lodging house
was mere shed, ninety-three feet long,
built of wood and lined inside with tar
paper and was a glowing furnace when
the men woke. Sixty-fve men were
inside and they fought like tigers for
egress. Some of those dead escaped
at first. but remembering the money
they left in the shed rushed back into
the flames and died there. The names
of the dead will not be obtainable for
a couple of days.

Arctic and Tropic Sunsets,

Sunsets in the tropics as l have wit
messed them, although full Of rich COL
orings, cannot vie with the color har-
monies of the poles. Even the nights
of the tropics, full as they are of beau
ty and richness of color, are not COM
parable with those of the arctic night,
when the moon is of a brilliance incon-
ceivable to southern eyes. and the sun,
although hidden during the long night,
makes it's presence felt by an orange
radiance at the southern horizon at
noon, and on starlit nights the snow
crystals give out shimmering glow.

ladder companies and fine goods identi-
fed as having been in Jeweiry store
and drug house were found in the
lockers and under the mattresses Of the
men in the engine houses.
Sat Down and Tried on Shoes.
The most remarkable statement is,
made by a witness, and which in part
instigated the proceedings, that fire
men were seen to sit down in two
shoe stores while the fire was raging
over their heads and deliberately try
on shoes, until they found pair which
fitted. Charges that one hose leel com
pany carried back to the engine house

worth over $1,000. Fine opera glasses,
silver ware and other articles were
taken. Mayor Charles f. Granger,
who ordered the investigation, said:
Evidence of looting at the fire was
brought me and l am sorry to say that
members Of the fire department are
implicated. We ordered a search of
the engine houses and the detectives
have already many articles.

of the property stolen, it is the principe
of the thing. | was deeply grieved
and surprised to find that the firemen,
the men on whom the community rely
to protect their property, had been
stealing it. They will be tried before
the board of public safety and also
criminally for what they are charged
with doing. SO far six are implicated.
There may be more; if so we will find
them out and all will suffer alike for
their crimes"
