The Solar Salt Industry.

The solar salt industry, which at
one time was a great business in
Onondaga county, n. Y, has been
almost wiped out by the competi-
tion from the west, but there are
still in operation in New York a
few plants where salt is obtained by
the solar process. In this industry
it is necessary frequently to manipu-
late the covers Of the vats wherein
the brine is in the course Of eyapo-
ration, and as the yats are quite nu-
merous the services Of many men
are required for this work. Judge
William G. Cady of Syracuse has re-
Gently invented a method of oper-
ating these covers by horsepower, so
that one animal and boy can move
160 covers in six minutes. This rep
resents the work of ten men. 1t is
estimated that this device represents
a saving Of 80 per cent in the labor
employed around one Of these es-
tablishments. II is said that it will
be the means Of reviving the old in
dustry in this part of the country.

Seattle Court Forbids Union Men
to Boycott Restaurant.
The Striking Cooks and Walters Are
EnIoined From Putting Piokets at
Restaurant or eeyoottins
the Business

Seattle, Dec. 2.--Judge Hatch yes
terday decided that the picketing OF a
business for boycotting purposes IA
unlawful and made permanent the
temporary injunction obtained sew
erai days ago to prevent the striking
members OF the cooks and walters un-
nion from interfering with the busi-
ness Of william Jensen. proprietor OF
the Bismark cafe. All the afternoon
was consumed In the argument of the
demurrer OF the union. whereby II was
sought TO have the Temporary restrain
ing order issued a few days ago dis
solved.
L. Frank Brown. for the strikers
contended that as long as the mem
bers OF the union employed no other
means than moral suaslon they were
within the law. In support OF this
contention he quoted numerous au-
thorities which he argued interpreted
the law az he was cndeavoring to pre-
sent II to the court.
on the other hand James b. Howe.
for Jensen, introduced just as many
authorities TO prove that while no ac-
tual violence had been attempted the
business OF the petitioner was kn-
jured by the plcketing of his place.
which in itself was an unlawful act.
In his decision Judge Hatch In part
said
There Is no objection to laboring
men organizing themselves into a.
union for the betterment OF their con-
dition and to obtain such concessions
as they can from their employers.
Capital is banded together, and there
is no reason why labor should not phr-
sue the same course. In fact the
courts have been built up for protec-
tlon OF labor. On the other hand.
where a man is running large busi-
ness II ls his privilege to hire and en-
ploy whom he sees at. II. then labor
comes In and says II you don't grant
our demands we will boycott you. It is
overstepping the bounds and doing
something that Is repugnant to all
sense Of American justice. Therefore,
the demurrer Is dismissed and the or
der restraining the pickets win be con-
tlnued In force.
Mr.. Brown sought to have the or
der modified. but this the judge re-
fused to do. saying IT ought to be
broad enough to keep these men away
from the petitioners place of busi-
ness"

CHINESE NEW YEARS.
IN San Francisco II 10 Rather an I'm
portant Event.

In San Francisco Il 10 Rather an I'm.
portant Event.
Chinese New Years in San Fran
cisco is almost as important an
event as the regular Christian New
Years. The Chinese in San Fran
cisco form the largest colony Of
their people in any Christian city.
Their New Years comes on variable
dates between the middle of January
and February.
On that date the citizens Of Chi
natown in San Francisco celebrate
joyously and have regular white
mems parades. The narrow streets
are thronged with whites and Mon
golians, the latter dressed in their
best silks.
1t is part Of the Chinaman's reli-
gion to pay up all debts ON New
Years day and square his accounts,
Not only that, but it is incumbent
upon him to be as generous as his
means will allow. We're he to pass
a beggar without giving something
he would find no peace for his con-
science until the following New
Years day gave him the opportuni-
ty to atone.
The white beggars, organ grind
ers and loafers Of San Francisco
have learned this, and they observe
the day more rehgiously than they
observe the Christian holidays. On
the morniig of the great Chinese
festival they go down to Chinatown
and invade the narrow streets in
battalions, wearing their most dole
full expressions.
The Chinese, passing up and down
the sidewalks, throw them coins,
sometimes by handfuls. In Califor-
mia, it must be remembered, there
are no pennies.
Sometimes a big merchant, al
"iirst chop" man, comes along and
gives to each mendicant he meets
no less than half dollar Then
there is a scramble Of the lame and
the blind, some of them collecting
half dozen times.-Exchange.

Peck took the throttle and ran the

The robbers secured no booty and
made no attempt to rob the passen-

in the passenger coaches while the
firing was going on. The sherifs OF
Duyal and Baker counties started at
once on the trail Of the robbers.

All day Sunday the posse searched
for the train robbers, but no traces OF
them were found.
The posse is at disadvantage In
not having bloodhounds.
The fact that the wrong car was dy'

was not done by professionals.
