STRIKE IN WEST AFRICA.
Tho Kroos Demand Higher Wages fer
Their Hard Work on Coast Vessels.

Tho Kroos Demand Higher Wages for
Their Hard Work on Coast vessels.
The Kroos are fne, musclar, industrious
OF Of fellows who are almost indispensable
in the foreign trade with West Africa.
They make excellent sailors and are un-
surpassed In the art Of transporting freight
through the surf between ships and the
shore.
Some of them occasionally come to our
port on vessels plying in the Liberian trade.
Stanley engaged lot Of them to 60 to the
Congo and help him start his stations along
the river. Everybody wishes them we'll,
because they supply the best kind OF native
African labor. They live along the coast
Of Liberia.
The New Africa, an interesting journal
published in Monrovia, brings the news,
however, that the Kroos have q grievance
and have gone on strike. They think that
their wages are not adequate for tho hard
work they do. and many other persons will
agree with them.
How would our lonRshoremen Ike to
work for pittanoe Of "a cents a day? This
is the exact sum these stout, willing black
men receive, and it 10 all the steamships
are willing to pay. The men demanded
SO cents a day and as their demand was not
conceded they went on strike early this
year Such q thing is almost unheard Of
in tropical Africa, where trades unions and
the walking delegate have not yet made
their advent.
The result Ia that the trading steamers
to Europe are having hard time to get
their freight handled. The editor OF the
Ner Africa, going along tho coast on the
Marie Woermann, found the Kroos at nearly
every little port determined to compel
their employers to recognize their de-
mands.
The vessel stopped at places where IL
was usually easy to secure large num-
Der Of hands. but this time only few men
were obtained, and these had evidently
not heard that strike had been declared.
At last accounts the strike was still IN
progress.
Some Of the prominent citizens OF
Monrovia say that the demands Of these
laborers are not unreasonable. Thor work
on the ships is of the heaviest kind.
For years they have drudged all day
long and have been required, when there
was a rush of work, to labor far into the
night, and all for a pittance Of "a cents
dayl These sympathizers say that tho
service Of the Krooman Is almost indis-
pensable, and his request for few add
tional cents day is modest, and It would
be simple justice to accept his terms and
end the strike. -

HEN IS, OWNER Sc.
A Pair Of Friends Who Have Been lnsepara.
BILE for Eight Years Past.

UIC bOT EA8uS 1OATb 6SuV
Marcus T. Hitchcock ofSpring6eld, Mass. d,
who has just celebrated his ,eighty-six
birthday, has for his special pet hen 10
years old.
The hen is constantly with Mr.. Hitch
cock, and shows great fondness for him.
She will follow him about, come instantly
when he calls. and ooddle herself content
eddy down by his eide. She will fly to his
shoulder, and eats from his hand.
When she has q family of chickens she
Ia very proud TO display them to her master.
She has Just become tho mother OF seven
chicks, which she fuses and fumes over
as much as a young mother with her fst
brood
The bird is a Leghorn and the only sur
vivor Of flock Of five purchased many years
ago for Mr.. Hitchcock's son. As Mr.. Hitch-
cock fed the hens, this bird began to be-
come attached to him, and for the past eight
years the two have become inseparable.
She il pure white and keeps herself in a
shimmering, spick and span condition
most of the time.
The affection between tho 9ray-haired
old man and the white hen Is picturesque,
and Mr. Hitchcock stoutly afflr1ns that
he'd rather have his hen than the best
dog or cat that ever lived.

1T is love. Anybody who goes into tho
woods with the spirit Of love in his heart,
and without the faintest desire for destruc-

and patient. Birds can read the heart
better than men can. They know their
friends, and are ready to love them.

Mr.. Kellogg owns a big Newfoundland
dog, which usually accompanies him on
his expeditions into the woods. He has
taught it from puppyhood to love all living
things, as he himself loves them. Wild
birds will perch on the dogs head as they
do on the hand Of It's master.
Once the Newfoundland found sparrow

.Ah' thought Mr.. Kellogg, 'the desire
for prey has broken out again and the
teaching OF years is undone.'
But it was not 90. The dog lifted the
sparrow gently in it's mouth and bore 1t

him to mend the broken wing

ARMED SETTLERS
THREATEN TO ACT
DETERMINED TO TAKE SUMMARY
VENGEANCE ON CATTLBMBN
ACCUSED OF MURDER.

TOPEKA, Kas., June 9.-As far as
known the Osborne militia company, on
the way to ST. Francis with the men
accused of killing Daniel Berry and his
sons, reached the Dewey ranch tonight
with their prisoners and went into
camp. A slow march t o st. Francis
will be started tomorrow. There is no
Jail in st. Francis and the troops do
not wish to get the prisoners there be-
fore Thursday, when the trial will be-
gin. The soldiers are proceeding with
great caution.
Armed men have been fiocking into
St Francis all day according to dis
patch received from Atwood this after
noon. The situation is critical. The
settlers are greatly angered against
Dewey and his son, and claim to have
indisputable evidence of their guilt.
Even should evidence be introduced ex-
cusing their crime whether guilty or
not, the settlers in their present in
fiamed state of mind are seemingly de-
termined to wreak vengeance on them
anyway The militia and Sheriff are
more than ever determined to protect
the accused cattlemen, because of the
possibility of their innocence
w. B. Lockwood, a member of the
State Legislature wires that he looks
for bloodshed, as the settlers recognize
in the present case an opportunity to
even up old scores with the cattlemen.
