Train Crew.

Belleville, ILL.,, May 11.-Sherin G..
W. Thompson and a force of deputies
were called to the Niger Hollow mine
OF the st. Louis and O'Fallon railway
company, seven miles north Of this
city, to quell a riot which was started
over the discharge of Engineer John
Frye and his fireman, Thomas Hughes,
for alleged incompetency. The COM
pany placed two new men in charge
OF the engine. The men refused to
board the train or go to work, and
riot quickly followed. Several men
we're badly injured. John Gundlach,
one of the owners of the railroad, was
shot by Oliver Gibson, former night
foreman at the mine, and is reported
to be fatally injured. Gibson and
several other rioters were arrested.

Cunning Cinnamon Long Had Feath

A man who owned a whole street
OF houses at Osborne, near Melbourne

Of some of these houses.
The depredators were Cinnamon

They did not seem to build any,

sullen water and muddy banks. No
wonder men turned traitors in It."
And Jane only leaned close, and
closer to the sad, sick girl. She un.
derstood that Matilda must complain
a little, and she was not unwilling to
let the dreary meadows of the Ouse
bear the burden. So the short after
noon wore away to James tender min
istrations without one cross word.
Early In her visit she had yielded to
Matilda's entreaties, had sent home
her carriage, and promised to remain
all night She dismissed Della, and
herself undressed her friend as tender
ly as mother could have done; and
when the tired head was laid on the
pillow she put her arms under it and
kissed and drew the happy, grateful
girl to her heart. and said some OF
those sweet, foolish words which,
alas! too often become a forgotten
tongue. Matilda answered them in
the same tender, broken patois-"Dear
heart! Sweet heartl Darling janet
Go to the little drawer In my toilet
table and bring me a picture you will
find there. 1t is In an ivory box, Jane,
and here Is the key" And Jane went
and found the miniature she had once
got glimpse OF. and she laid it in
Matilda's hand. And the girl kissed
It and said, Look here, Jane, and tell
me who II is"
Then Jane looked earnestly at the
handsome, melancholy, naughty face:
at the black hair cut straight across
the brows and flowing in curls over
the laced collar and steel corselet, and

The requests for theater fayors In

Economy is stranger with whom no

the substance of native reasoning.
Nothing is saved from the preparation
of a meal. A separate trip must be
made to market for provisions for
less to buy more than is needed at one
lime, for the cook will certainly con-
fscate the surplus. II protest is
made against this confiscation, the
cook will smile and explain that there
are hungry mouths at home which
must be fed. Unless the concession
is granted there is an immediate va
cancy In the kitchen. The exasperated
American housewife accepts the only
alternative left to her-she surren-
iers to another custom of the coun-
try and employs her Yankee wits In
reducing the surplus to minimum.
The cause which doubtless origin

ing anything over a few hours on ac-

greatest care must be exercised by
the house wife in the purchase Of her
provisions.
While the soil here is very fertile
and will raise almost anything. a
scarcity OF the kinds of vegetables
grown In the United States is very
noticeable. During the winter months
variety can be purchased in the
market. but during the summer sea-
son the extreme heat serves to re-
strict their growth. The natives are
very fond Of lettuce and cultivate 1t

the proper time comes. The sober

When an American woman begins
housekeeping here her domestic af-

she must live in the same house with
the horses. This is not SO bad as it

"Unbecoming Conduct"

An amendment to the charter Of
Greater New York. introduced In the
legislature at Albany the other day
provides that school teachers may be
removed from their positions for "un
becoming conduct" The object OF the
amendment, according to its sponsor
is to enable the school board to re.

courts having held that under the
present charter such removal would
be illegal. 1t, therefore, appears that
marriage is "unbecoming conduct" on

fore the people for the position he now
holds.
Prior to that time Judge Moss had
not acquired the smoking habit, and
he was opposed to young men especial
ly going around with cigars or cigar
cites in their mouths. One day he
met young man whom he knew well
with cigar in his mouth. After shak-
ing him by the hand the Judge said:
My friend, don't smoke; it's very
bad habit" The young man desisted.
as requested.
During the hottest portion of the
campaign last summer Judge Moss
carried cigars around in his pockets
with which to treat his friends. One
day he met the young man before men,
toned and after talking for some time.
during which he mentioned the fact
that he was a candidate for criminal
court Judge. he reached back into
his coat pocket and pulled out cigar.
