A CIVIL WAR TOAST.
The Way . Very Embarrassfng situ-
atfOn was Relieved.

The Way . Very Emb4rrassfn9 S1fu-
atfon was Relieved.
It may seem rather trfte to 60 back
b civil war times for story, but all
the tales of that memorable time have
not been told.
My uncle, Major Thomas Ridgly,
was surgeon attached to General
Grants staff. 1t was after the surren-
der of Vicksburg. The Union forces
had entered the city, and much merry
making and entertaining were going
on. One night dinner was In prog
ress at which many northern officers
and large number Of southern ladies
were present. Many toasts had been
proposed and drunk, all Of them pracd
cally in honor Of the successes Of the
Union army and the men responsible
for them.
Finally one of the southern ladies, q
great beauty and noted for her intense
partisan feeling for the south, arose
and said, Gentlemen. may propose q
toast?'
With natural gallantry and little
trepidation the ranking officer said,
Certainly"
"Well, then, gentlemen, give you,
THE Southern Confederacy.
1t was an embarrassing situat hon,
but with hardly moments hesitation
one of the northern officers relieved the
tension.
Down with it, gentlemen" he cried.
And the glasses were drained without
embarrassment and without disloyalty.

Pittsheld. Mass, September 26.-Hugh Gurney, third secretary of the British embassy, was today fined in the police court at Lee on two charges. For con tempt of court he was fined s25. simi- lar fine was imposed in a case charging him with speeding his automobile in stockbridge Sunday. Mir. Gurney, when arralgned, positively refused to plead claiming that as "he was the third secre- tary of his Brittanic majesty, he could not under international law be arrested or held for any crime"
 Special Justice Phelps said he did not recognize International law m nis court and informed the defendant that he must plead. MT. Gurney insisted in his re- fusal. Then fine was imposed for con- tempt of court MT. Gurney did not have In his possession sufficient money to pay the fine and he was committed to the charge of the officer who made the ar rest. The officer accompanied MT. Cur ney to Lenox, where the money was secured.

stIII Considering contraband.

St. Petersburg. September 26.-Neither the United States nor Great Britain has yet renewed diplomatic representations to Russia on the question of contraband. In diplomatic circles here the keenest interest Is felt over the ultimate Issue of the matter It is hardly believed here that either the United States or Great Britain purposes to allow the mat ter to rest in its present aspect.
 While the Washington government won a distinct victory In the decision of the commission regarding contraband which in effect recognized Secretary Hays con- tention that the word "enemy' in the Russian declaration be interpreted gov ernment or forces, ana not ports or territory" and specifically acknowledged foodstuffs. rice and other general spe- officially mentioned articles as contra band 1t Is thought the American govern ment will still refuse to aequiesce .n the placing of cotton. fuel and railroad, telegraph and telephone material in the list of absolute contraband
 Nevertheless in view of the assurances given as to the future, and especially in view of the naval situation in the far east. which has removed any pressing danger to American commerce with Ja- nan. the authorities expect that the Unit cd States will await the decision of the appeal from the tribunal In the Calcnas and Arabia cases before proceeding fur ther If the decision is unsatisfactory and represe nations are renewed, there is reason to believe that Russia may con- cede the point regarding cotton.

PLANTS REFUSE TO
 RECOGNIZE UNIONS
ONE THOUSAND MEN RETURN TO WORK IN CHICAGO, AGREEING TO ACCEPT REDUCTION IN WAGES.

Chicago, September 26.-A thousand men returned to work without union regula- tions of any sort today when the three Chicago branches of the International Harvester works and the Pullman com- pany re-openeo their shops after shut down of two months. The men not only returned to their former places as in- dividuals, but they also agreed to reduce tions in pay of 10 to 20 per cent
 Before the shut down. the Internation- al Harvester works recognized the labor unions but with the announcement of a resumption of work today, came the statement that the company would not renew it's agreement with the trades un- ions, al that the plants would be oper- ated on a Lasis of 57H2 hours a week, in- stead of 54 with no increase in wages. The men accepted the ultimatum of the company without any serious manifes- tation of discomfort, and all of the old employees who could obtain work, accept ed the new regulations.
 Tonight call was issued for a special meeting of representatives of all unions that have members employed by the h. ternational Harvester company to con- slider the conditions at the three plants, but the general belief is that the men will remain at work under the present conditions
 The case at the Pullman company is different than at the Harvester company, inasmuch as the Pullman company has ignored all trades unions since the strike in their plant in 1894

HEAD OF FAMILY
 COMMITS TRAGEDY
KILLS WIFE WITH RAZOR, sERl- oUsLY WOUNDS HIS DAUGHTER AND THEN SHOOTS HIMSELF DEAD WITH PISTOL

Raleigh. N. C., September 26-A special from Winston-Salem, N. C., says
 A horrible tragedy occurred today at Kernersville, when Louis F. Carmichael a carpenter by trade, aged GA years, kill ed his wife aged 50 years. seriously wounded his 12-year-old stepdaughter and then cut his own throat with a razor, and shot himself dead with a pistol.
 MT. Carmichael and his wife separated several weeks ago. Yesterday he went to his home and told his wife If she did not consent to live with him again. he would kill her before the night. After eating breakfast this morning at the home of his sister, Mrs. A. Lewis, he took a razor and pistol and went to the home of his wife and found her preparing breakfast for herself and children.
 It is presumed that she again refused another request to live with him. and that he thereupon took the razor and cut her throat, nearly severing her head from her body She ran out into the yard and fell dead. Carmichael then turned upon Miss Wiggins. his wife's youngest daugh- ter, with the razor. cutting two severe gashes on her breast He then used the razor and pistol with fatal effect upon himself
 Those who talked with Carmichael a short while before the crime was com mitted, say he was sober.
