About 100 union carpenters yester,
day morning quit their places as the
result of the failure of the contractors
OF the city to comply with their de-
mands for an eight-hour day. At sew
eral OF the stores where carpenter
work was absolutely necessary to the
conduct of business the carpenters per-
mitted their men to work. merely as a
matter Of accommodation to the mer-
chants interested. but those carpenters
in the employ of the contractors all de-
clined to work upon being told their
demands would not be met
The carpenters are making every ef-
fort to be reasonable In their strike.
and among other things intend that
no misinformation shall appear in the
papers. With this end in view. the un-
ion has appointed one of its officers
TO act as press agent. and this gem
tleman will keep the papers posted as
to the progress of events and all mat
ters of an official nature will be given
publicity through him. Last evening
he called at the office of The Astorian
to make statement on behalf OF his
union.

scale. They did state positively that t
the union had never given them formal g

some rumors to that effect. n

attributes this to the action OF the EN-

matter:
Not infrequently We hear the com

happens that some very good unskilled
workman will be put to work by "A

THE ANGELS GOLDEN LILIES.

Once upon time. ever and ever
50 long ago, there lived a rich manda-
rim. who had two sons, Foo Sing and
Ii Wing. They lived in part of
China where the land is low and
SWampy
Now, Ii Wing had a horrid dispo-
sHion and was as jealous as he could
he of his sunnny-tempered younger
brother. Foo Sing was popular with
everybody because of his pleasant dis
position and the revorse-could be said
Of his sullen-tempered brother Ii
tier so that when he thought to divid .
Ais property between his two sons ha
vas led by the willy Ii Wing to think
sc much of his superior wisdom tina
he left it to him to divide the prop
erty after his death.
No sooner had the days of mourn
ing passed for the old man than Ii
Wing fastened to divide the large
estate, giving to Foo Sing the part
that he deemed entirly worthless
low, swampy stretch of land. This
he gave to Foo Sing with great air
of condescension and as little money
as he possibly could. Poor Foo Sings
heart was heavy within him at the
depressing poverty that he saw him
self doomed to, with this waste of
useless land as his heritage. Foo
Sing knew that his money would no,
last long, and he had neither profess
sion nor occupation with which to
earn money.
He finally made up his mind to
come to America. He came and
while travelling through the country
doing little odd jobs, he always gave
Particular attention to the methods
used in cultivating swampy lands in
the West. He saw it reclaimed and
made to yield rich crops of rice. Then
ne said to himself:
u VIII return home and use the
knowledge i have cleaned for the
nenefit of my marshy lamb if my
sfasplng brother has not already ap
appropriated even that poor soil"
When he returned to his native
province it was within two weeks Of
New Years. 1t was an utterly dis
ceurasing prospect, that first view of
ms ancestral acres. Pools of stag
hant water covered it, with rank
coarse grass, and rushes rose in dry
clumps, and rustled in the bleak Win
