he would hold the case IN allegiance
and allow the defendant 10 90 on his
own recognlznnce. As Glover walked
out Of the court - thanked the judge
profusely.
Judge Taylor has twice refused to
dismiss the charge against the defend.
ant One of the surprises of the ar.
raignment was another attempt by
William Reid Howe. lawyer of or.
ange and also a director of the Chill.
dren's Aid society, to have the charge
against Glover dismissed. He said the
directors Of the organization as well as
its executive committee had authorized
him to make the application.

MAJORITY FAvORS. GENERAL STRIKE

st. Petersburg, Dec. 19.-The revO-
feverish preparations to fight the gov
ernment's policy of repression. The
new workmens council, representa-
lives of other proletariat organizations
and also the League of Leagues met
secretly in the outskirts of st. Peters
burg and discussed ways and means.
The great majority of the members
favored the imSaediate proclamation,
of the general strike, which had been
planned for January, but it was agreed
that success depended on whether TIE
railroad men would participate. It is
understood that a tentative decision
was arrived at to strike on Wednes-
day provided the central committee at
Moscow consents. There is division
of sentiment in the ranks of the rail-
road men and the government has
made a special effort to redress some
of the grievances, dreading above all
things suspension of traffic on the
railroads, which would make it impos-
sible to transport troops A railroad
man said to the Associated Press:
1--WE have had majority of our
demands granted; besides, the people
in the small towns along the railroads
were SO enraged at the last strike that
they are likely to kill any railroad
man they catch in the event of another
strike
However, the governments note
practically notifying the railroad men
that if they strike the authorities will
be unable to afford them protection is
regarded as grim warning that they
will be abandoned to the mercies of
the "Black Hundred" and another note
has been issued threatening them
with Exceptional measures if the
legal means do not suffice

TWO LABOR LEADERS ALSO INVOLVED

Chicago, Dec. 19.-The so-calIed
0brick trust of Chicago made COM
plete surrender to States Attorney
Healy in court during the day and was
fined an aggregate of $4,000. The
company and number of it's officials,
together with two labor leaders, were
Indicted for conspiracy to do an IL
legal act, to prevent competition and
to restrict the production and sale of
brick in. the Chicago market
The defendants + in the case were
George G. Prussing, president of the
Illinois Brick company; John H. Spey,
sales agent for the same company;
William H. Wackler, superintendent
| of the company; Edward J.. Tomlins,
| sales agent OF the Chicago Brick COM

Small Dealers Make Complaint.
| The indictments were procured at
ers, who complained to the grand jury
that they were unable to secure sup
plies unless they compiled with the
terms and all demands of the COM
bination of brickmakers, which prac-
tically controlled the output of brick
in Chicago and vicinity.
When the cases were called in court
| the attorneys for the defense an
nounced that William H. Weckler, gen.
Brick company, had decided to turn
! states evidence and il was desired
that the punishm ent to be inflicted on
| the other nine defendants should be
| remitted in his case. States Attorney
| Healy declared that he was willing
| that this action should be taken in Mr.
| Weckler's case and the attorneys then
entered pleas Of guilty for all the other
! defendants. The court assessed fines
Of $4,000 in each case. The amount
was paid at once by the attorneys and
the defendants were dismissed.
The charge against the labor lead
ers, included with the. officials of the
brick combine in the indictment, was
that they called strikes on buildings
where the contractors used brick pur-
chased from others than those in the
| combination. -..

Northern Pacific Train Robbers Make
Very Poor Haul.

Very Poor Haul.
Portland, Ore, Dec. i9.-It is learned
that the two highwaymen who held
up the North Coast limited Saturday
night succeeded in getting $40 from
the express car. The safes had less
money in them than on any previous
trip, but if the robbers had awaited
until the next train it is said they
would have made a considerably
larger haul.
Such good clues have been obtained
of the two robbers by the Northern
Pacific and other detectives that hopes
are entertained that both will be cap
tured. 1t is the general opinion in
police circles that the work was not
that Of experienced men.
According to the Pullman conductor.
]. R. Upson, the express messenger
was in the diner when the noldup oc-
Cured. Upson says that the messen-
ser told him he did not believe there
was more than $500 in the safes.

and was alone when she had the fol-
lowing experience, which is told in
Blackwood's Magazine:
Once, In a train going to New York,
she was dreadfully tired, and yet she
had feeling that if she went to sleep
the man sitting next to her would pick
her pocket. she struggled for some
time against her inclination to sleep,
but having for a moment given way
she awakened to feel the hand of her
neighbor gently withdrawing her
purse from her pocket
In her purse, besides some money
which was. comparatively speaking,
OF small moment was her baggage
check. That was the only thing that
really mattered. If she accused her
neighbor of theft, nothing was simpler
for him than to drop the purse out
of the open window beside which he
was sitting. No; she determined she
would leave any Interference until
they arrived at their destination.
She secured the services of a porter,
and, with apparent calmness, follow
ed her travelling companion down the
platform. Having described her lug
gage to the porter, she at the critical
moment bowed slightly to the pick
.pocket. and, with an airy smile, said
'"This gentleman has my baggage
check" and he Immediately presented
1t to her.

having passed a disabled steamship in
a certain latitude and an uncertain

drifting resembled a tangled black

In that surprising tangle were written

How did you feel about it?''
I'll tell you, he said, abruptly. "To-
ward the last l used to shut myself up
in my room and cry"
"Cry?"
"Shed tears" he explained, briefly.
He was as good a man as ever
stepped upon a ships deck, but he
could not bear the feeling Of a dead

ening feeling which the men Of some
overdue ships that come into harbor at

have felt, combated and overcome in
the faithful discharge Of their duty.

one big factory about 1900 movements
are made every day. There is certain
to be haste in that sort of output and
the name on the dial does not make up

first-class jeweler arranges for several
hundred movements to be delivered a
year hence.
"A strictly first-class movement re-
quires six months, exactly, in it's pas

ginning to the finished product ready

stamped with the name Of the firm

OVERDUE.
~~N%~~~~~~

The word missing" applied to a
ship brings all hope Of safety to an
end, and settles the loss of friends
ashore and Of the underwriters, says
Joseph Conrad, writing in the London
Mail; but the word Overdue" only
strengthens the fears already boSn in
many homes ashore, and opens the
door for speculation in the market Of
risks. Within the memory Of the pres
ent generation a missing ship has new
er been known to turn up; but the
name Of an overdue vessel, tremblins,
as 1t were, on the edge Of the fatal
heading, has been known to appear as
ARRIVED"
OF all overdue vessels the most help
less is the steamer disabled at sea by
the loss of her propeller. If she is in
an ocean lane" she may soon be
sighted and lowed to port, or if
equipped with wireless telegraphy she
may call help from a long distance
But if she drift to an unpopulated part
of the ocean, she may soon be added
to the list of missing, when her life
born Of coal and breathing smoke, has
ended.
A certain steamer lost her propeller
below the latitude Of the Horn, on her
outward passage to New Zealand, and
drifted away out Of the track of yes
sells. She, too, would have been posted
first as overdue and then as missing
had she not been sighted vaguely in a
snowstorm, like a strange rolling ISL
and, by a whaler going north from her
polar cruising ground. There was
plenty Of food on board, and all had
gone well till then. Still they could
not be certain Of having been seen,
and indeed to the whaler the steamer
must have seemed like huge ghost
or like the tabled Flying Dutchman."
The captain of the whaler was evF
IDENTITY no believer in ghosts, however.

Two Kinds of Reading.

If we make the pages Of our books
merely q sort of pleasant maze in
which to set our minds to wandering
during idle hours we in reading shall
have acquired pastime that is usual
ly harmless But there is a vast diff
ference between such way of spend
ing our time and the reading that
wisest men and women have thought.
Words stand in our minds for certain
ideas or images. From what we read
we learn to make these plain or hazy.
clearly drawn pictures or carelessly ex-
ecuted sketches, and thus our powers
of thinking are directly trained by QUE
