traction in Bio Hotel.


traction in Big Hotel.
New York Times.-A street preacher
was holding forth at Thirty-fourth and
Seventh avenue, recently, when
little Miss Florence Obst, walk
ing past with her father and mother on
the way TO take car to their home, at
$40 West Forty-third street, paused to
hear what the man was saying. Mr..
and Mrs. Obst went on, and didn't miss
their daughter until five minutes had
passed.
Meanwhile Florence mingling with
the crowd, listened to some unpleasant
prophecies concerning the ultimate
fate of the wicked, and though she
didn't understand much OF IL she con-
Guided that it all possibly had some
reference 10 her naughtiness in not
keeping close to Der papa and mamma
when in the street. So. little con-
science stricken, she pushed her way
out of the crowd and hurried in pur-
suit of her parents. She went toward
Broadway, however, while Mr.. and
Mrs. Obst, who meanwhile had discov-
cred that she was not with them, were
rushing frantically up Seventh avenue.
Florence soon understood that she
could not find her parents, but al
though only four years old she has
abundant confidence in herself, ana
calmly pursued her way. She picked
her path through the maze of traffic at
Broadway and Sixth avenue. and found
herself at the doors of the Waldorf
astoria.
She peered in and decided that ii was
a delightful place for a young person
such as herself without hesitation
she sauntered through the doorway,
and in a few minutes found herselr
admiring and being admired in pea
cock Alley" The demure little maid,
in her big hat, pretty lace coat, and
dimpled knees showing above her short
white stockings, looked over every
body and everything with polite inter
est, and presently, seeing a good place
from which to view the passing show,
climbed up on a sofa beside an elderly
man, who, when he saw her purpose,
helped her to a seat. There she made
herself as comfortable as possible,
though her little legs did stick straight
out over the tapestry covered edge, and
her little toes did point at each other.
"Your baby, senator!" inquired a
stout man, accompanied by several
women. and the senator said "No" be-
fore Florence, in candid protest against
being called baby" remarked:
'T'm four years old"
She regarded the stout man as Sc
verely as she could with her big blue
eyes, and in an instant the women
pounced upon her, declared her to be
a darling" and took possession or
her.
After that Miss Florence held a re
ception and became the center of de-
lighted crowd. She was talked TO, pet
ted, and prattled away apparently with
out reserve. But she had a secret,
and kept it well, though 1t at times
gave a pang. She was "losted," and
she knew that her mamma was worry
ing about her. But Florence was hav-
ing such a delightful escapade that she
ould not bring herself to confess the
truth.
When she had eaten bonbons and

COUP TO END LAKE STRIKE.
Carriers to Bunch Clearances From
Duluth.

SoIIiS'S u 0uuCu NISdTdnCcS from
Duluth.
Duluth, June 5. -. No lake carrier
boats left the Head of the Lakes yes
terday and there was two good rea-
sons. One was because a violent
northeast gale was in progress, and
the other because the Lake Carriers
association is preparing coup. 1t is
learned from high source that an
important blow will be attempted at
the Masters and Pilots association
within the next forty-eight hours and
which is expected to break the great
strike that is paralyzing commerce on
the Great Lakes outside of the lumber
trade. The owners and managers are
planning to start numerous boats
from many ports, particularly from
Duluth, at the same time. One of the
larger fleets expects to start twenty
boats, and another fleet twelve boats
the same day, and other fleets of
lesser size corresponding numbers. It
is expected that at least seventy-five
boats will go into commission between
to-day noon and Monday noon. and
that this will break the strike.

HIS RELEASE.

bloody and desperate battle with a
mob OF over 200 furious mine strikers,
In which half a dozen Of the disturbers
were seriously wounded, Sheriff Butch
art and his deputies yesterday sue
ceeded in effecting temporary ces-
sation of hostilities at the Fayal mine,
and the officers returned to Duluth
late in the afternoon.
The trouble, which has been brew
ing for several days, broke out in full
blast yesterday morning, and the
struggle which ensued between the
strikers and the officers was desper-
ate while it lasted. AS result two
men lie in serious condition at the
Eveleth hospital, one with a bullet
wound in his head which may cause
his death, and several others received
severe injuries during the progress of
the ARRAY. A fight between a Finn and
an Italian was primarily the
Cause Of the Fight.
The men were both former employees
of Drake & Stratton, and a contro.
versy arose between them which cul-
minated in severe hand-to-hand con-
f1ict. Sheriff Butchart and his depu-
ties, who were on the scene early in
the morning, interfered and tried to
separate the men. One of the fighters
pulled a gun on Deputy Horigan but
when the latter in response pulled his,
the man surrendered and was arrest
ed. This was the signal for a general
attack on the officers. and the strikers,
already in the highest pitch of rage
and excitement. fell upon their VIC
Tins like pack of hungry wolves.
Over fifty shots were fired in the
melee. and knives, clubs and rocks
were frequently resorted to by the
strikers. Owing to the fact that the
latter were scattered over wide area
of land, while the officers kept togeth-
er, none of the deputies were wound
ed, although at numerous times
Bullets and Rocks Whizzed
closely by their ears. AS soon as the
mob realized that the officers had
prepared themselves we'll for the
emergency by bringing along an ample
supply of weapons and ammunition,
they gradually withdrew, scattering
widely over the surrounding fields,
while some retired to the city. The Of
ficers did not pursue. but returned
with their prisoner to the county Jail.
Again gathering their scattered
forces the strikers marched to the Jail
and demanded that the prisoner be
given up to them. They did not re-
sort to violence this time. but their
request for the liberation of the pris-
Oner grew more and more urgent and
and finally, despite the
protests of Sheriff Butchart. the may
or ordered that he be released. This
was practically the end of the dis
turbance yesterday, but it is believed
that it may break out anew to-day.
