The Lightning Changes We Make

Great Is the human makeup, ana
great are its chameleonlike qualities In
the way of expressing feeling. Writ
ers from time immemorial have taught
us what to expect from the different
colors that fit across our countenances,
and, of course. writers are never wrong.
Here are some of the lightning chro-
matte changes that we all have grown
to recognize, and there are several
counties yet to be heard from:
A man turns green with envy. yel-
low with hatred, purple with rage,
scarlet with anger, white from fear,
pink from excitement, saffron from
sickness, black from torture, red from
heat and blue from cold.
Sometimes, too, he Is "cold as steel
"hot rs blazes." "cool rs cucumber
"a warm proposition" hard as brass, y
soft as mush," smooth as a board" !"
"a rough customer" and "a slick ar
ticle." Then again he is good as
wheat" "souRd as e rock" Strong as
an OK" "weak as cat slippery as
an eel," "sly as q fox" "mean as a
snake" poor as mouse" hungry as
a WOLF" and dry as fish. h.'-Philadel-

The Coast Line of the Pacific.

Although the Pacific covers more
than half the surface Of the globe and
has an area estimated roughly az 9O,-
100000 square miles, yet its coast line,
even including that OF the Indian
ocean, Is but 1900 miles, or about
5000 miles less than that Of the At
lantfc. The shores Of the Atlantic are
very deeply indented by large seas, OF
which the Baltic and Mediterranean
are the most remarkable. Besides
these. the greatest lateral seas and

Mexico. Caribbean sea. Hudson ba!
and the bay of Biscay. II we taxi

sea and bay Of Bengal, which are par

q remarkably straight coast line. Wit
the exception of a few deep indenta
tions on the coast Of Asia.

Of communication between one countr!

ONE MAN WAS KILLED.
Attempt to Enforce Blue Laws Caused
a Riot in Allegheny, Pa.

Pittsburg, Aug. 31.-The crusade
carried on by the Allegheny County
Sabbath Observance association for
the past three weeks to enforce the
blue laws of 1894 resulted in riot and
murder in Allegheny Tuesday night.
The man who was killed was identified
at midnight as Harry D. Knox, driver
of an ice wagon.
The enforcement of the old laws
which prohibit the sale on Sunday of
ice, soda water, candy, cigars and ev-
cry other article of merchandise call
ed luxury, has aroused intense feel
ing throughout the county and many
threats have been made against the
prosecutors. Tuesday night Chief De-
tective for the Association P T. Gam
BILE and two of his force, Nelson G.
and Harry w. Starkey, were on trial
for perjury, the charge being that they
had secured the conviction Of a store
keeper who proved that his store had
not been opened for business on Sun
day. About 1000 persons had gather

when the hearing was concluded the

through a gate, struck out on the coun-
try road course, which was designated
by red flags showing the way. In en-
tering the country road course Hicks
had fallen back with six men ahead.

A SWEEPING ORDER.
All Butcher Workmen in the
Country to Strike.
1t is Feared it May Cause a Meat
Famine-The Order Affects the
Men Employed in the Differ
ent Independent Plants.

Chicago, Sept. Famine in meat is
declared by the strikers to be the
probable result of their new move in
the strike against the packers. Or
ders have been issued for a general
strike of all butcher workmen through
out the country. They are expected to
go out Thursday. The order will af-
feet in all about 1000 men in Chicago,
and ten independent plants. The or
der, if observed, will also affect inde-
pendent plants of large capacity in
the following cities: East St. Louis,
Omaha, st. Louis, Kansas City, Sioux
City, New York, Milwaukee, Syracuse
and hundreds of small plants through
out the country which employ from 10
to 20 men. All together, union Off
cials assert, there will be $4,000 men
to go out, and the meat supply will
be seriously crippled, leaving as the
only supply the output of the big pack
ers by their non-union help. The pack
ers say it is Leader Donnellys aim to
create a meat famine, which, he
thinks, would be forced. "Donnelly is
undertaking the impossible said
representative of one of the packers.
"There is little chance Of a meat fam
inc. The independent packers, who,
by their collusion with the unions,
have profited much during the strike,
will suffer the most.'
New York, Sept. 1.-The members
of the Amalgamated Association of
Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen
formerly employed here by the
Schwarzschild & Sulzburger and the
United Pressed Beef Co.'S, who expect
ed that the negotiations in the west
would lead to a peaceful settlement
of the strike, were Wednesday defect
ed over the news from Chicago that
orders for general strike of the
butchers throughout the country has
been issued.
The packers here say that they have
filed the places of the strikers and
are killing and making deliveries as
usual under police protection. The
strikers say that the boycott is hurt
ing the packers and that the bulk of
the men who quit work at the abat
toirs of the two companies are employ
ed in the slaughter houses of independ
ent firms.
Boston, Sept. 1.-No order regarding
a general strike of all butcher work
men in the country has yet been re-
ceived from the headquarters in Chi
cago of the international union by the
officers of the Boston local union of
the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen. The officers of the
local union do not think the strike
will effect Boston.
East st. Louis, ILL.,, Sept. Twenty
strike breakers and two policemen
were more or less seriously injured in
a riot in which about 400 strike SYM
pathizers were engaged. The strike
breakers are employed in the Swift

THE ARMY MANEUYERS
Final Review Will Take Place at
Wellington, Va, September1O.
War Department Decides That Militia
When Participating in Field In
structions With Regulars Are
Not in the u. S. Service

Headquarters Camp Gainesville, Va,
Aug. 31.-Gen. Corbin Tuesday fixed
September 10 as the date for holding
the final review of the 25,000 troops
to participate in the annual maneu-
vers Of the army, and Wellington, Va,
as the place for holding the review.
This decision was reached after the
broad, sloping acres adjoining the rail-
road track at Wellington had been in
spected by the general, accompanied
by Col. Knight, member of his staf.
The inspection trip was made in an au-
tomobile and the headquarters OF Gen.
Grant at Manassas was visited before
the return was made to headquarters
camp
The review is to be a spectacular
feature of the maneuvers and great
preparations are making by the South
ern railway to transport large crowds
from Washington and the east.
The inspection trip to division camp
No. 1 was entirely satisfactory. Gen.
Corbin is laying special emphasis on
the lesson to be learned by the mill
tiamen regarding proper camp SANTA
ton, the detrainment and entrainment
of troops, and the proper laying out OF
the tented fields. The trackage facih-
ties provided at each of the camps
furnish an excellent opportunity for
the study of transportation facilities,
and this object lesson is not to be
overlooked as a part of the benefit of
the maneuvers.
Tuesday troops of cavalry and COM
panies of infantry were everywhere
present in the maneuver zone. These
practice marches are being made a,
part of the daily program of the two
camps In the meantime the staff and
brigade officers of both Gems. Grant
and Bell are familiarizing themselves
with the roads and lay of the country
for strategic purposes.
Washington, Aug. 31.-The war de-
partment, on the request of Gen. Cor
bin, commanding the troops at ma
neuvers in Virginia, has rendered an
opinion in the matter of jurisdiction
over the national guard organizations,
holding that the militia troops when
participating in the encampment ma
neuvers and field instruction with
troops of the regular army are not in
the service of the United States with
in the meaning Of the militia act and
that discipline in the militia is to be
enforced through state authority.
