Fire in Memphis.

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. S.-Fire,
which started at o'clock this morning
in the big Oliver Finney Grocery Com
pany's building, spread rapidly to the
neig hboring buildings. Oliver Finney
Grocery Company, John A. Denny &
Co., Wynn Love & Co., W. Q. Early
Bros and Co. and the Memphis Paper
Company were among the losers by the
conhagration. At o'clock the fire was
drought to be under control, although
it was burning fiercely at that hour. 1t
is impossible to estimate the loss, but it
is believed that it will reach million
dollars and probably more. The loss is
estimated at 100000. A fireman was
seriously injured by falling from a lad
der. Six other 6remen were overcome

THE CHICAGO strikers have requested
the 80. 600, 900 people in this country to
become vegetarians--or Orientalized-
and live on rice. In order to carry out
this plan they want every meat market
in the United States to close and all
union men have been called out of the
various packing houses throughout the
country. Their leaders say all attempts
at securing a settlement of the difficulties
are TO be ignored and a fight to the
finish is to be forced in endeavors to
produce a meat famine. While a more
limited use of meats would doubtless
prove beneficial to a majority of people,
nevertheless it is bad state OF affairs
when a strike in one city affects the
whole country and causes rise in the
price of a prime necessity of life, or de-
bars its purchase altogether. Millions OF
persons from the Atlantic to the Pacilic
had nothing whatever to do with the re-
lations now existing between the meat
packers and their employees, and that
thew should be made to suffer in conse-
ouence of the friction is much 10 be
deplored.

Non.Uuniouist Stabbed.

Edward Armes, nonunion butcher,
was the victim of savage attack by
three striking union men in New York
yesterday, and is now in the hospital
with two deep wounds, inflicted with a
butcher knife in his right leg and
with his body covered with bruises.
While his wounds are serious, he will
recover. His assailants escaped, but
with description given by the victim the
police expect to capture them. Armes
was waiting for car, when the three
men, with cries of "scab," leaped upon
him, knocked him down and one of
them stabbed him with large knife.
Leaving him bleeding and senseless,
they fed upon the approach of other
citizens and disappeared.

braiuy young men" to enlist. The de-
partment has recently been busy In ar
ranging recruiting parties to go into
various parts Of the country to get young
men to join the navy. bright and
brainy young men" see no field in the
sailors life hence they seek other voca-
tions in which to satisfy their ambition.
At the beginning of the nineteenth
century England experienced similar
difficulty in procuring men to man her
ships; hence the rise of the dreaded
"press gangs" which lurked about GER
tain English ports. 1t is hoped this
country will not be forced to the same
course,
