THREATEN.
Lockout is Talked of in Newark
Unless Something is
Done Quickly.

Newark, Apr. 3D. Unless some
thing is done in the meantime to avert
1t Newark will, Monday morning,
witness the greatest lockout in its
history. Work will stop on practical
ly every building in course Of con-
struction in the city and fully 10000
men will, it is believed, be out of
employment.
The immediate cause of this is the
refusal of the Building Trades League
ut q meeting recently to accedt
to the terms of an ultimatum issued
by the Employers association. The
ulimatum demanded the return to
work of all members of unions afil'
lated with the league and now on
strike, upon pain of q general lockout
There was a long discussion at the
meeting of the league but it is said
that the decision to reject the ultima
tum had a large majority.
If the efforts at settlement which
are now being made in an official
manner shall fail. the prospects are
that the struggle Will be long and
bitter. There is a great deal of build
ing work under contract and in pro-
gress in this city at the present time,
and the artisans say that the asso-
ciated employers will lose heavily il
they persist in their present position.
On the other hand, the employers are
said to have counted the cost and tt
be determined to risk mach in order to
have certain questions in dispute
settled according to their views.
The Employers association men
say that they have boon force into
their present attitude by the sym
pathtic strike of the tar rooters. Tho
latter several weeks ago refused to
, work with non-union laborers hired
to take the places of union laborers.
! who, it is claimed, had asked for the
same wages they had been receiving
for eight hours.
The tar roofers' contention is tina
they are oblige to work with union
laborers only, and that if the bosses
will emplo.. 20 but union mon the
whole trouble can be settle inside o
an hour, but until they do they will
not return to work.

ARCHITECTURE IN KOREA
Is Suited to Anything But the Elk
IRENE Climate Such as Pre-
walls There.

The Korean style Of architecture IL
suited to anything but an extreme eli.
mate such as prevails there, says the
Housekeeper. During the winter months
1t is very cold. The houses are made
of bamboo frame work, plastered within
and without with adobe mud. The roof
is matched with rice straw, which is
weather proof. The inside may be made
into one room by the sliding back Of a
screen-like partition. Just why these
were introduced it is impossible to say
for they are but rarely used, as privacy
is never desired in Korea. This oper
space becomes the living room, and ever
when travellers are passing along anf
must halt for the night they are invited
to share a common sleeping place on the
floor with the entire family. The dis
comfort of such an experience is extreme
during the summer. In the kitchen
| which is just without the living room
there is located a most curious kind o
stove. From this clay pipes extend I'M
der the floor to the living room. They
warm the house summer and wir.el
alike, for it has never entered their mind!
that some means could be devised where
by the heat could be turned off from the
other quarters.

WITNESS IN A TIGHT BOX

Among the most successful practi-
TONERS at the English bar is LORD Bramp-
ton, whose strong point is the cross-eX-
animation of witnesses. In this ne is
quick to see a point in his clients V
and to take advantage OF 1t. Lore
Brampton tells a story OF how he once
won a case on a technical ground when
he had no defense. He forced a magis-
trate's clerk to be put into the witness
box by the prosecution to prove a pure
ly formal matter; now, having gotten
him there, he c-ross-examined him. anc
made him practically admit that h LED

also that they had refused bail by his
advice, and that a judge at chambers a
afterward granted it, although the wit
ness had come up all the way from Lon
don to oppose it. Then, asked the
cross-eXaminer:
"You were in the room, sir, and did
you not hear the learned judge say there
was not a rag of a case against my un-
happy client?"
The prosecuting counsel objected. and
it was ruled out. But the jurors had
heard it, and had heard the answer

Leaving the court that day, the prison

knew you, too, and felt sure that you
would object at the right time. But you
should have waited for the answer, as
it would have been NO."

CIRCUS DAY.
In Perth Ambov is Fixed for Friday May
g.

Clowns have delighted people since
the world began. Ancient kings has
their testers whose only occupation i'll
life was to drive dull caro- away. On
the fete days these men ran riot and
on the one that created the most
laughter was conferred a mimic
crown. The kings knew that laughter
dispelled many ills that flesh is heir
to, and the average al or woman of
the present day knows that dyspepsia
and kindred ailments are quickly dis
PEELED by hearty laughter. If this be
true, and facts substantiate it, Har-
greaves' big railroad shows are doing
more good than all the physicians of
the country for the small army of
clowns with these shows cause more
laughter than anything else in tie
world. Picked from the best come
dians in the country they are paid to
amuse the public and how well they
do it can easily be learned by stand
ing near the tents of the shows during
any performance and hearing the
waves of laughter when they are in
the ring. A novelty this year IN the
clown line is q brigade of fun pro-
duoers who initiate the happy char
acters created by the Sunday papers of
New York and Chicago. Weary
Willie, Aunt Amelia, Fatty, Felix,
Mr. Dooley, Foxy Grandpa, Muggsy
and all the other characters are faith
fully represented. The characters are
as unique as they are funny and they
will convulse grown people and make
the children howl with delight.

neWS In Brief.

THE fire department responded to an alarm at 2:45 o'clock yesterday after noon from Box 24, corner of Commerce Street and the Windsor Hotel. A small roof blaze on the old Montgomery and Mobile Railroad warehouse at the foot of Moulton Street was the cause of the alarm and was of short duration after the arrival of the firemen. This is the second time within week that the department has been called to the place. The origin is assigned to sparks from an engine. The damage was trivial. Company No. 1 of the Montgomery Fire Department who was removed to the Emergency Hospital Thursday afternoon with case of smallpox was reported yesterday as resting easily. The rooms of the fremen underwent a thorough Immigration yesterday afternoon.

 "The Land of the Sky" in Western North Carolina, between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Iron and Unaka ranges of Eastern Tennessee, is at its lowest point more than two thousand feet above the level of the sea; it Is situated in the most favored portion of the temperate zone. trav- ersed by splendid rivers and dotted with beautiful lakes.
 From the moment the traveller en- ters this region until duty forces ,him to leave 1t, nothing that is unpleasing greets his eye. The charm of this land Is real; its delights an actuality.
 Asheville is the central city of this favored region; it has several large and fine hotels, and is a town of com mercial importance. The season at Asheville is always. its hotels never closed and the visitor is made welcome. At all times we find Asheville a pleas ant spot, full of life, of color and of enjoyment, rich with possibilities, for health and recreation. The drives around Asheville are unexcelled for the lovely views they afford. Horseback riding is in great favor and bicycling and automobiling are popular,
 In arranging a summer trip, how ever, the Sapphire country should not be overlooked; it is one of the most delightful in all this vast area of hill and dale, field and forest, taking in Lake Toxaway, Fairfield and Sapphire. The physical contour of this region is strikingly similar to the English lake district, but Is as a whole grander in every way. Its mountains are more than twice the height of their English compeerr; it's torrents more impressive, it's lakes bIuer and more picturesque.
