PORTLAND STRIKE.
Sixty More Men Leave Their Work
for ldIeness.

for idIeness.
Portland, March S.-Thirty-sever
skilled carpenters and plasterers ir
the employ of Contractors Tinker and
De Gesen, sculptors and staff con.
tractors at the Lewis and Clark ex-
position grounds, went on strike this
morning in sympathy with the men al
ready out. They We're Joined by the
plasterers from the government build :
ing, but piledrivers from Wakafeld &
Jacobson's work, and by a sprinkling
of other workmen. Probably so men in
all quit work this morning.
The plasterers went out in response
to a call from the board of governors
Of the union, who visited the works
this morning, in accordance with a
plan Of action decided last night. As
the strikers approached the gates Of
the grounds in little groups they were
cheered by the pickets and strikers
who had eongregated outside. Further
than this, no demonstration was made,
although the men considered 1t an i'm
portant victory, in view of the fact
that the plasterers' union is not af-
fliated with the Building Trades AL
lance, and therefore the action was
entirely voluntary.

THE STANFORD CASE.
Murderer Is Probably in San Fran,
cisco.


cisco.
Honolulu. March S.-The police here
are Of the opinion that If Mrs, Stanford
was murdered, the guilty person is in
San Francisco. High Sheriff Henry
expresses this view
1t is pointed out that the opinions OF
the physicians, taken with the result
of the chemical analysis. as given in
evidence at the inquest, indicate that
to bring about a fatal result Mrs.
Stanford would have to have been
given one of the capsules, which it mas
been admitted contained a small guam
tity Of strychnine. and dose OF the
bicarbonate of soda at the same time,
and that both would be required to
bring together enough strychnine to
be fatal
According TO the estimates of the
chemists, the strychnine in the dose OF
barcobonate Of soda and the capsule
combined was only one-twelfth of a
grain, unless the strychnine was all at
the top Of the bottle and was taken
when Miss Berner poured out the dose
of soda. Mrs. Stanford's failure TO COM
ment on the bitter taste Of the nell.
cine, however, is held as disproving
this theory.

FERMENTATION OF STRIKES
Each Employe Of the Company Is 10
Be Given a Homestead Which II
Is Believed Will Create a Com
nunity Of interests.

Chicago, March S.-Adopting tn
French plan for Amalgamating the in
terests Of the corporation and its EN-
ployes, B. r. Yokum, chairman OF tht
executive committee Of the 'Frisct
system, has declared that a homestead
will be provided for every employe Of
the system, from president down tc
the section hands. BY this method
Mr.. Kokum hopes to establish an EN-
Itente cordiale" among the employees
and a closer aff1liation with the cor
porate interest. One of the things
which it is expected to accomplish Is
the elimination of strikes.
The first experiments are to be made
on the Texas line. 1t is declared that
already a majority Of the men have
signified their intention Of taking ad-
vantage Of the plan.
The idea is to sell to every employe
a parcel of five or ten acres Of land
tributary to the railroad, supplied with
water and at a fair valuation. to be
paid for in ten years, deferred pay,
ments bearing a low rate Of interest.
1t is provided that should an EN-,
ploye discontinue his service with the
company before the completion Of his
contract, all moneys paid in by him
will be returned, together with inter-
est at the rate per annum that has
been charged against him.

There is q pitiful story of Philip

Vitality Of Mosquito Eggs.

According to the Investigations OF
Prof. John B. Smith, it is not so easy
to destroy the mosquito as some per-
sons imagine. The eggs Of the salt
marsh mosquito, for instance, may re-
main in dried mud for months, and yet
a large percentage of them will hatch
out within few hours after becoming
covered with water. The H"mainder
lie dormant until the first lot has
reached full growth, and then, II still
submerged, most of them also will
hatch out. A few eggs of each brood
lie over to the following year. and all
the eggs of the last autumn brood hi
bernate. The consequence Is that the
first spring mosquito swarm Is the
largest Of the season, and migrating
adults of this brood live until Sep
TENDER, swelling the number OF mid
summer mosquitoes.

set foot in the office. and the books
over which he presided were just as

was firm and his eye bright.
The last vacation David Angel had
taken was the year before his wife's

sadly. He was gloomy and cast down.
Such a break in the habits of two
decades oppressed him with forebod-

tightly to habit, and the severing of
his simple daily. monthly, yearly rou-

of all things, or, at least, like the be-

Even before Uncle Dave left the
boarding house where he had lived for
many years he was homesick; but the
die was cast, and the lonely old man
set out one evening for his trip to the
country. He had bought his ticket that
afternoon for Lake Geneva. His mood
was black. however, as he boarded the
car for the railway station, and bit

this enforced vacation.
