STRIKERS RUSH
To GET BACK
OLD JOBS
Chicago TeamSterS Have Given
Up Long Struggle and Are
Anxious to Return
to Work.
Bv Associated Press,

Chicago, July 21.-The teamster
strikers, who last night gave up their
long struggle against the employers,
broke ranks to-day in a stampede for
work. The barns of the strike af-
fected firms were besieged by men
who had been idle for months, and
whose places have been filled by non
union men. The employers in many
cases announced that there were va
cancies for only a few. OF more than
1000 men who quit work, not more
than 1.400 or 1900 will be rein
stated during the next few days. The
coal teamsters and truck drivers did
not join in the rush for re-emplOy-
ment to-day.
The order of the transfers joint
council which authorized the surren-
der was for all men on strike to ask
for reinstatement this morning. Both
the truck drivers and the coal teams
ters baked at this and planned to
hold meetings tonight and flight it
out until they could go back to work
like union men" However, the boy
colt against business houses has been
lifted officially by the action of the
council, and it is expected there will
be no more sympathetic strikes of
teamsters.
Nearly every one of the strikers al
the department stores hied applica-
lions for reinstatement. In many
cases the men were put to work im-
mediately. At one store a number of
men who obeyed the order TO strike
stood in line to-day and signed appli-
cations FORGETTING their right to wear
buttons of their union exposed. The
express companies, which fought their
battle practically alone snd apart from
the others, are not to take back any Of
their former employees Police pro
lection will not be withdrawn for a
few days at least as cases between
non-union men and unionists are fear
Oh when the latter return to work.

The Miserable aIoorn.

The lives lived by the Moors are,
without perhaps any exception, the

be imagined. The poor man is thrown
into prison for sums he never possess

squeezed Of 81 he possesses, while
those only can hope to escape who are

full - arouse the fears Of the local gov

jealousy and avarice Of the sultan
Even the governors Of the provinces
suffer themselves as they make others
suffer, for just as they squeeze the ag-

In turn squeezed by the sultan and his
viziers, and should they fail by con.

opinion at the court they can expect
only Imprisonment and often death.

AGAIN
IN 4 SERIOUS
CONDITION
Had a Relapse Late Yesterday,
and is Again Un-
conscious.

The condition of Edward Dansby
this morning at an early hour was not
as favorable as it was during yester
day and the night previous. He had
a relapse about o'clock in the even
ing and since that time has been very
restless, causing the attending physi-
clans to become very uneasy about
him.
During yesterday it appeared that
he would recover, as he revived to a
considerable extent and was conscious
during the day. The paralysis began
to disappear, and hopes for his recov-
cry were entertained. Late in the
afternoon, however, the relapse &C.
Cured, and during the night his con-
ditiOn grew more serious.
The physicians located the bullet
during the day. 1t is near the Shout
der and imbedded in the flesh just
under the skin. While it was not re-
moved at the time it can be at any
time, but at present it will not be, as
it can cause no injury.
II was stated last DlgnL Jnat the
wounded man has considerable diff
Guilty in breat thing.
The condition of Jas. White contin-
ues to improve and it is believed that
he will recover from his injury. He
rested well during yesterday and last
night, and was conscious during the
entire day.

Office at $40 this morning gave the
information that Edward Dansby had

An Amended Quotation.

Miss Ida Tarbell's first journalistic
experience was as editor Of the Chau-

had established the custom of heading
with a quotation the column in which
he made brief mention of the news
of the day. Miss Tarbell followed his
habit and bent her mind to the task
of supplying suitable quotations. Once
upon time she set down, as plain as
Pen could set it:

Then she went home, pardonably
proud Of knowing her Thomson so
well, and at the head of the column

Baltimore's Brown Rats.

From the Baltimore Sun.
why have rats in Baltimore turned from
the familiar gray to seal browne"
This is the question which is perplexing
a rat catcher who has been in the business
for many years. He says:
II have been catching rats for more than
twenty years in Baltimore. After the big
different parts of the city were of a seal
brown color. The seal-brown rat was a
rarity before the fire. but now they out
number the old familiar gray ones. In a
building in which / was employed lately 90
per cent of the rodents caught were brown.
These rats are not in any one locality, but
in all parts of the city.
THE fur of the seal-brown rat is long
and much finer and softer than that of the
gray. The big fire may have had some
thing to do with the change of color and
texture, but l cannot explain why. I only
blame it on the fire because l can think of
no other cause. ! told local furrier about
with a number of rat skins, with which he
will experiment The fur will need no
dyeing, as it is of a very rich, uniform
color. The japanese used thousands of rat
skins In the making of earmuffs for SOL
diers l have skinned some of the brown
rats. The skin is very tough, and, no mat
ter how you stretch It, when released it
will resume its original shape. / have tried,
and could not keep 1t out of shape. l be-
lieve the skins would make excellent gloves
so, maybe, the seal-broWn rats may be-
come salable for other purposes than for
training rat dogs"

was classic beech AS a result of the
vigorous efforts made in it's behalf Mr..
Smith of the Botanic Gardens took up the
tree and placed it in the eastern part of
the gardens. 1t was injured however,
owing to Encouragement so it is said,
and finally died.
The late John A. Bingham, several years
after. when a leader in the House, desired
to plant in the gardens a tree of the same
kind as that which Sumner pleaded for so
eloquently. Mr.. Smith secured a fine spe2i-
men of Italian beech and planted it near
the southern gate, naming it the Bingham
Sumner memorial tree, in commemcration
of the two warm friends II was substi-
tuted for the old tree that formerly stood
on the Capitol grounds, and today it is con-
sidered one of the finest trees in the city.
Mr.. Smith told a reporter for The Star
the history of the oriental plane tree which
stands high above the other trees on a
mound in the center of Lincoln Park.
"One day in the late ffties,' said Mr..
Smith, II asked my old friend Thad Ste
vens to plant a tree in the gardens. He
looked down at his deformed feet--for he
was elubfooted-and said Why, I can't
plant a tree; but here's dollar; get
couple of colored men to plant one for me
Il did as he requested, and an oriental
plane tree was planted as a memorial to
Thad Stevens on the banks of the Tfber
which project, by the way was advocated
by Stevens-it was found necessary to
move the tree. II was dug up and planted
in Lincoln Park, where Ii stands today
The two acacia trees which are growing
one either side of the south entrance TO
the large conservatory are intended to rep
resent the northern and southern Masonic
Jurisdictions. The acacia on the east side
of the walk is called the Garfield memorial
tree, while that on the west side of the
walk is designated as the Albert Pike me-
mortal tree. Mr.. Smith stated that when
Garfield died he made wreath which was
feathered with acacia leaves taken from a
small tree growing along the east walk.
Later he named the acacia the Garfield
memorial tree During a severe hurricane
which passed over the gardens many years
ago the Garfield tree was broken off close
to the ground, but few years later a
sucker came up from the roots of the
broken tree. Mr.. Smith took good care OF
the survivor of the old acacia root, and
the tree is now thrifty and growing nicely.
He planted another acacia on the west side
of the walk opposite the Garfield tree as a
memorial TO Pike, and since Garfield was a
northern Mason and Pike was in the south
ern jurisdiction. he designated the two trees
az representatives of the two Jurisdictions

tC Bingham: Mr. Bingham, If you VIII
withdraw your force bill and pass the Crit
tenden peace resolution / will assure you
that Georgia will not secede.'
Il urged MI Bingham to take advantage
of the opportunity, and we discussed the
matter at some length, but without final
results. Senator Crittenden, to whom
afterWard told the story planted an Over
cup oak near the spot where we held the
discussion, in commemoration of the In
cident."
Robert Mallory, former member of Con-
gress and a warm friend of Senator Crit
tenden, planted a memorial tree on the
banks of the old Tiber creek in the west
part of the garden. There are many more
interesting historical trees in the gardens,
and some day Mr.. Smith hopes to compile
a correct list and have each one labeled so
that visitors to the gardens may be able to
readily find the growing monuments to the
great men of the nation.
