The Personality of the Gear.

The question is often asked why the car
is unable to exert more real personal in
fiuence in the government of the country
where he is supposed to be absolute auto
crat. curious hint of the limitations inn
posed on him is given by writer in late
number of the Fortnightly Review:
THE amusements of the car are few
He is fond of photography. sometimes in
dulges in a mood for the making of melan-
choly verse, and as was said In a previous
place. he is an adept with the cycle. When
at Gatchina he is in the habit of cycling by
himself for n portion of every day, but at
Peterhof the work brought down from St
Petersburg. and the constant interviews
with ministers and officials. consume the
whole of his time. and light in his ma
Jesty's writing room may be seen far into
the night as he labors with the mountains
of papers that are dispatched to him by
cunning ministers. who are resolved to sur
round the young car with parapet of de-
tail in order to prevent his mastery of the
larger questions affecting Russian policy
The czar is a kindly, saddened. overworked
and unhappy man. His desire to do his
duty compels him to engage in an I'M

never overtaken. In this struggle. he is
helped by one of the best and noblest of
women. whose virtues are derived through
her mother, from Queen Victoria"

The Fatted Calf.

They were lounging in Senator Foraker
smoking room the other night, Speaker
Cannon and a dozen senators and repre-
seEtatives. and this was Senator Carmack' s
story, when 1t got up to him:
Just after the war. in reconstruction
days. the democrats down my way hired a
negro to do some campaigning among his
own race. This negro dwelt with great
fervor upon the scandalous way the north
was treating the returning southerners.
Why said the negro orator. de prod
igal son was treated better dan desc white
folks is being treated. You all remembers
about dat prodigal son. When he come
back his father met him while he was yet
afar off, and put ring on his finger and
new robe on him. and killed de fatted
calf-yes, sub, de fatted calf
Then a republican negro campaigner fol-
lowed. Dat niger didn't tell you all right
about dat fatted calf business he said.
De straight OBJ de story was another way.
You must remember dat de prodigal son
was sorry for his misdoings He come back
and lowed to his father dat he was not
worthy to be his son, but was willing to
60 right out into de cotton field wild dc
oder field hands and pick cotton.
g Is desc yere southern white folks sorry !?
M sub: not bit. Dey don't supplicate for
anything. Dey just strops a six-shooter
'rcun' 'emselves. stalks in and says, 'Whar
is dat veal?

Putting a troubled sentiment aside. the

Bargain DAYS in Germany.

The women of Washington will probably
be Interested in the fact that the wholesale
textile firms Of Leipzig. Germany. have
formally decided that on certain days each
year their goods shall be sold at reduced
prices. This system has already been in
troduced In two other German cities, name
ly Elberfeld and Frankfort. Instead of
being known as bargain days, as the wo-
men of this country would probably call
them, they are given the more dignified
title of Sonderverkaufstage" by German
women. Such a system would undoubtedly
be hailed with delight by the women Of
this city.

Some Big Flyers.
From ST. Nicholas.

OF birds now In existence probably the
one with the greatest expanse of wing in
proportion to the body and with the great
est power of flight is the frigate or man-o'-
war bird. This bird apparently flies more
by skill than by strength. for IL has no
great carrying powers. The wandering
albatross. the largest of all sea birds, IL
also one OF our strongest flyers. One bird
was known TO fly Mt least a.1s0 miles in
twelve days. This bird was caught, tagged,
released and caught again.

RESCUED THEIR CoMRADE.
Brokers Cheer Messenger Boys Who ROut
Indignant Elderly Man.

II was the noon hour in Wall-st. yesterday
and the street was crowded. Suddenly. like a bolt
from a crossboW, a district messenger boy shot
out of the United States Trust Company's build
ing. After him sprinted elderly man in neat
gray suit and wearing gold-rimmed spectacles. De-
spite his age he caught the boy before the latter
had crossed the street and catching him by the
collar proceeded to tell him what he thought about
messenger boys in general and this in particu-
lar. Forcibe adjectives interlarded his vehement
remarks.
crowd collected in a moment Some one asked
the what he wanted with the boy. 81
TO hold him until policeman comes" he snapped.
and renewed his voluble attack the messenger.
The crowd gathered until it filled the street from
curb TO curb. Mingled with it were many messen-
ger boys. No policeman was in sight.
AS the old man continued TO berate the boy the
other messengers wormed their way 10 the centre
OF the crowd, and suddenly pounced the angry
ed on the pavement. Then the blue-cOated cohorts
had a game OF handball with the old the
ball They didn't hurt him; they simply had fun.
and they completely ruined his temper His Ian
guage was OF the most sulphurous description. And
still no policeman appeared and the crowd cheereq
the messengers At last the victim. covered with
mud and dust. and his straw hat battered, broke
through the ring OF his tormentors and ran 10 Will
fam-st., where he disappeared. The original cause
OF the trouble. of course, got away safely. and
policeman appeared, even after the battle.

prices yesterday and threw the local market into
an unusual state OF excitement General liquida-

start prices were about 20 points lower and sold
of Is points more in the noon hour. the persistent
selling being based the belief that the govern
ment crop report would prove much better than
had been expected. The market was flooded with
selling orders from out OF town sources.
When the report was announced. after l
O'Clock, the market became still more excited and
prices made an extreme decline OF 80 points the
day. At this level the heaviest sellers of last

TO FORCE NEAT FAMINE.
BOYCOTT DECLARED.
Chicago Strikers Make MoUe
Which Means Fight to Finish.

Chicago, Sept. IA meat famine will be
forced at all costs. It is the best weapon with
which TO fight the trust packers. although it
may not be welcomed by the independents"
In these words President Donnelly of the
Butchers National Organization to-day declared
a boycott against all meat, and announced that
union men would quit in all packing establish
ments. regardless of where live stock is secured.
Donnelly's announcement was made at the
end Of a meeting Of the Allied Trades confer
ence board. The executive board Of the Retail
Meat Dealers Association. Of Chicago. had just
been In conference with Mr. DOnnelly and his
associates. having come TO ask certain conces-
sons for the independent packers, and 10 seek
authority TO attempt 10 bring about meeting
between the packers and representatives of the
strikers. BY ignoring these latest attempts at
peace and by adopting such an aggressive step
the strike leaders demonstrated their intention
TO make il fight 10 finish.
The following statement was given out by
President Donnelly:
The conference board. representing all organ
izations involved in the present packing house
strike. has taken action 10 place all meats upon
the unfair list. The order will be sent TO every
packing house In the country, and no member
OF the Meat Cutters and Butcher WorkInen's 3
Union will be allowed TO dress any animal until
the strike is settled. The packers have resorted
TO extortion as the result OF the strike. buying
livestock on the hoof for almost nothing and
uct. The public Will be given oppor-
tunity 10 retaliate by refusing to eat meat until
such time as they can procure the same at fair
market prices.
Indications are that the five independent pack
ers within the stockyards inclosure will join the
big packers in their fight. while those outside

crews. Two Of their number received constgn-
ments of cattle at outside railroad yard to-
day, and viii have them driven to the yards

wagonload Of cots having been taken TO one
plant.
The police record of the strike at the stock
yards station TO date reads: Assaults, 80;
ders. 4; accidents, 81; removed to hospitals 43
With the beginning Of the general strike
against all the packing companies the freight
handlers employed by railroads throughout the
country viii be called upon TO cease handling
meat. President Donnelly said this afternoon
that the freight handlers Will handle no meat
after tomorrow. This was based on action
taken by the Freight Handlers Union three
weeks ago, when that organization voted TO
support the stOckyards strikers to the extent Of
hoycotting meat shipped by the strike-affected
packers.
Secretary Malley of the switchmen declared
there would be no strike Of the sWitchmen, be-
cause the Chicago Junction Railroad Company
has force Of strike breakers ready to step into
their places.
