Telephone Linemen strike.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, June 10. - Be
tween 100 and 150 linemep employed
by the Cumberland Telephone com
pany in this city are on strike. The
men are asking for an increase in pay.
The strike so far is confined to the line
men employed in Louisville, although
for nearly year there has been talk
of a general strike of the hnemen in
all cities where the Cumberland COM
pany operates. The Cumberland has
exchanges in New Orleans, Nashville,
Memphis, Natchez and other large cit
les along the Ohio and Mississippi val
leys. At the Home Telephone COM
pany, the large Independent concern, it
was denied that there is any prospect
Of a sympathetic strike on the part of

for the Prix de Villeron at Long

Dumont in his air ship No. appeared
over the course and went through a
variety of maneuvers which evoked
great enthusiasm from the crowd. The
passage of two other balloons over the

MANY HOTELS
ARE TIED UP.
Chicago Patrons Suffer Hunger
and Inconvenience Even Mon
ey has Lost Its Magic.

CHICAGO, June 15.-Patrons of Chi
cago hotels are eating meals relished
with police protection and momentary
fear Of an invasion of striking walters.
Three hundred policemen are held in
constant reserve at headquarters sub
ject to call at any minute to quell pos
sible riots. Patrons who pass into ho-
tells are scrutinized by uniformed Off
GERS of the law and are obliged to prove
they are not pickets or strike leaders
intent on fomenting more trouble. Ad-
ditional strikes have been declared in
ten large restaurants.
Most of the hotels which are affected
by the strike are doing business in odd
ways. Patrons made the best of bad
situation, raved at what they called the
tyranny of organized labor, helped
themselves to something to eat when
there was no one to serve them and
climbed endless fights of stairs to
their rooms.
Both sides are as determined as ever.
There is no sign of yielding or of COM
promise. One hotel which signed the
scale was peremptorily expelled from
the Employers association.
Were 1t not for the few faithful old
employees who remain at their posts
Chicago would be full of hungry men.
The crisis has brought the millionaire
to the plane of the living which knows
little but lunch counters, black coffee
and ham sandwiches. Money has lost
It's magic.
The figure fiend has shown that hotel
owners are losing $4,000 day and
the strikers half as much. The one con-
ISOLATION is offered by the health au-
thorities, who declare the resting of
Chicago stomachs will be grand thing
for the public health.
In addition to the twenty-six big ho-
tells which were tied up, involving
more than 1000 employees, the follow
ing well known cafes are paralyzed:
The Hayes, the Baltimore, the Com
mercial, Weistman's, McCloud's, Fad
dis & Yerkes', the Unity, McDonnell's,
Avery's and two others. in Dearborn
street.
Hundreds of excited men and women
followed the strike committee from
place to place, but any show of vio-
lence was promptly checked by the po-
lice, who accompanied the emissaries
of labor on their rounds.

LANCASTER, Pa, June 15.-Rain
interfered- somewhat with the annual
feast of roses at Mannheim, this coun-
ty. Nevertheless a great crowd wit
messed the quaint and beautiful cere-
mony of the payment of one red rose
by the congregation of Zion Lutheran
church to the heirs of Baron Henry
William Stiegel, the founder of Man
helm, who in ITO decided to the con-
gregation the land on which their
church stands, with the stipulation
that they pay "in the month of June
yearly forever hereafter the rent of
one red rose if the same shall be law
fully demanded" Twice, in 1913 and
1774, Baron Stiegel demanded the rose,
and the custom then fell into disuse.
This time the rose was demanded by
Mrs. Ida Boyer of Norristown, Pa, a
lineaI descendant of the baron, and
paid by Rev. DR.. Jacob Yutzey of Sell
ins Grove, Pa, on behalf of the con-
gregation.

eAAMRocks ARE ACROSS.
Sir Thomas Lipton's Fleet Has Ar
rived at New York.

EANE0 AT NGNN
NEW YORK, June 15.-Safe and
sound, after a rather rough passage
from Gourock, Scotland, Of sixteen
days and twenty-five hours, Sir Thorn
as Lipton's latest challenger for the
Americas cup, the Shamrock III, is
now lying at anchor off Tompkinsvllle
N. Y, in company with the steam yacht
Erin, that had towed her most of the
way across the Atlantic, and by the
Shamrock L., towed by the British tug
Cruizer. The 156 men who manned
the yachts and their conveys are all
well, and there were no, accidents to
mar the passage.
The weather was fairly good except
on June II, when the yachts were
caught in a gale from the southeast,
and while it, blew very hard and a
heavy sea wasrunning the yachts ship
ped very little water, and no damage
was done.
After passing Sandy Hook lightship
the yachts were saluted by every YES
sci that passed them eall the way to
quarantine When they arrived there
the crews of the yachts gave three
cheers for each other as they stood
lined up on deck. Both yachts fly the
pennant of the Royal Ulster Yacht
club.
The new challenger is far hand
somer craft than either the Shamrock
l. or ii. She looks not unlike the Co
lumbia above the water line, and her
beam seems greater than either of
those yachts. Her captain, Robert
Wringe, says she behaved splendidly
under all conditions Of weather during
the passage across the Atlantic.
When the Erin was 100 miles east of
Sandy Hook the telegraph operator on
board the Erin succeeded in raising
the Coney Island station. Captain
Mathews then sent a message to Sir
Thomas Upton, saying
"Fleet arrived at Sandy Hook.
Rough weather during voyage. Sham
rocks all right"
The reply from Sir Thomas received
on board the Erin said:
Delighted to receive news. Convey
to all officers and men my best wishes.
hope they are all well and fit as fid-
dies"

RAILWAY MEN sPRUcED UP.
Crainmen Must Always Appear ms
Dapper as StrOIIers ON the
Boulevard.

One railroad company with Offices
in Chicago has long made the study
of etiquette one of the duties of its
trainmen. The men must not swear,
nor use slang, nor be Peevish, nor dis
courteous, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
The Erie Railroad company now
The trainmen must always appear as
dapper as a stroller on the boulevard.
They must keep their shoes well
shined. Their clothes must fit them
faultlessly, and, most of all, there
must be creases in the trousers of
every uniformed employe of the road.
Down in Indiana, at a division
point, three of four tailors are kept
busy pressing, uniforms. Both in
Chicago and at the other end of the
run bootblacks are employed to keep
clean the "boots" of the employees.
The idea of making dapper-look-
ing company out of the employees is
new to Chicago, although the idea has
been tried in the east for several
weeks. At Jersey City six tailors are
constantly employed and the boot
blacks are kept busy.
Each employe is given two tickets,
one of which passes current with the
tailor, while the other is as good as
a dime with the bootblacks. Each
employee is told to use the tickets
freely, to look well all times, and not
to be bashful about asking for new
tickets when the old ones are gone.

CLOSING pAYHm THE WAR.

After six months of prison life at
Camp Ford, Tyler, TTexas, and several
days spent at Shreveport, the 4Sth Ohio
was exchanged, andIthose that had sur.
vived the battlefield, iprison pen and effect
of years army service, were at home
ON their veteran furlcugh, just u months
after their re-enlistmsnt. In due time the
regiment returned to- the field of strife,
rejoined the Thirteenth Corps at New Or
leans. and participated nm the last big bat
tie of the war, which resulted in the cap
ture of Fort Blakely.i ut Mobile, Ala, and
its garrison of 5000 men, after Lee had
surrendered and the)9war was considered
over. Gen. Grant shdispatch announcing
Lees surrender is dated 4:30 p. m, April
8, 1865; Gen. Canbyis troops marched out
of the trenches to make the assault on
Fort Blakely at 5 pm, April 81
A few weeks later, when Gen. Taylor
entered our lines to surrender to Gen.
Candy his Military Department of Missis-
sippi, Alabama and Eastern Louisiana. he
was confronted by many of the soldiers
that had surrendered to him at Sabine
Crossroads, La.
Thus time had evened up all things.
The troops were now discharged as fast
as the muster-Out rolls could be prepared,
but those in authority in the Gulf Depart
ment refused to send the 4Sth home after
thC NiOsS Va the wal, Jul hCpl II va uut'
in Texas for more than year after Lees
surrender. The regiment was finally or
dered from Galveston, Texas, to Column
bus, Ohio, for discharge, where they az
rived May 81, 1866. They marched into
the State House grounds, stacked arms on
the lawn, and answered to their names at
roll-call for the last time; after which the
old flag was furled and deposited in the
Flag Room Of the State House. Thus
the 18th Ohio ceased to exist, after a SER
vice on the front fighting line for nearly
five years.
Soon after the war the Government es-
tablished National Cemetery at Alexan-
dria, La, to which all the Federal sol
diers that were buried in the Red River
Valley were removed, and also those that
had died at Camp Ford Prison, Tyler,
