CHICAGO TEAM OWNERS GIVE
ULTIMATUM TO STRIKING
TRANSFERS.
Transfers Joint Council is not a
Unit in Vote to Fight Owners.
Unless Compromise is Reached
Strike will Spread Widely.

Chicago, May 15.-Unless, compro-
misses are offered by the opposing in
terests in the strife between capital
and labor now in progress in this city,
the transfers strike will spread MANY
fold during the next 4s hours.
The refusal of the teamsters' Joint
council, representing $4,000 union
drivers. to accede to the demands of
the Chicago Teamowners' association
to handle merchandise for all business
houses having contracts with the mem
bers of the owners organization has
brought the controversy to a point
where, lest a speedy settlement is
made, one of the worst Industrial up
heavals in history will be the result
Hopes that such settlement will be
effected are based on the decision of
the Team Owners association 30 give
the teamsters' joint council more time
to consider the proposition.
At first it was the intention of the
owners to put their ulimatum into eff
feet this morning, but, believing that
the teams.ers could be induced to
change their minds, they were given
until Tuesday to make final answer.
Information which the team owners
say they received yesterday, that the
teamsters' joint council was not unit
Saturday night in its determination to
tight the owners was given by the
owners as the reason for the postpone
ment of the ultimatum until Tuesday
One man was killed and another IA

LIFE IN THE BALKANS.
An Oblisfng Woman Whose House
Was II Nest of Smallpox.

An ObIiEfnE Woman Whose House
Was "a Nest of Smallpox
Miss Edith Durham in her volume of
travel, 1.-The Burden of the Balkans, 2
tells this little story of life in that re-
gion: One night man came to us
mysteriously He said that in his vii
lage there were three traitors. Before
anything further could be done they
must be destroyed. They could not
be shot, for this would probably bring
down the authorities, and it was impos-
sible to buy poison because the law OH
the sale of it was very strictly en-
forced. But 'madama' (myself) was a
friend of the doctor No doubt if she
asked him he would write her some
thing that could be put in coffee Then
the three gentlemen could be asked to
supper and their political differences
quietly arranged Nor had he any
doubt that should fulfill this humble
request
Of the dangers Of smallpox>and like
diseases Miss Durham says that the
Ba kan people show a childlike ig-
no.anee. She writes: "At one village
WI Ell ] was leaving / was asked to
give little backsheesh to the priests
7fe. Poor womany they said. Two
OF her little children are i'll Of the
smallpox, one has died, she has had it
herself and is not yet well, but she
cooked your supper in her own house
and brought it here for your Another
time woman rushed out Of house,
seized me- in her arms and kissed me
upon either cheek until l struggled

Twin Earthauakes,

Earthquakes which consist Of two
shocks separated by brief interval of
quiet or Of two maxima Of intensity
are known as twin earthquakes. In
Great Britain one in about every TWEEN
ty earthquakes is a twin, and the stron-
gest shocks experienced in that coun-
try belong to this variety. 1t is be-
Heved that twin earthquakes are due
to impulses arising from two deached
foci, separated in different eases from
four to more than twenty miles, but
lying along the same fault in the

Steamer Lost.

Superior, Wis, May 15.-No word
has been received at the head of the
Lakes as to the whereabouts of the
steamer Rend, since Tuesday last, and
local marine men and the agents for
the boat fear that she has been wreck
ed off Manitou island, where she was
stranded about a week ago. The lat
est reports from the boat were to the
effect that she might possibly be saved
if the weather remained calm off the
island. During the last few days,
however, "a gale has been blowing, and
the wind has at various times blown
from every quarter with equal force.

POMPEH A TOY CITY.

1T Was Given Over to Imitation and
Luxury, Emulatins Rome.
Pompeii, as can be seen on every
hand was what Bulwer-Lytton de
scribes tia toy city, given over to
imitation and luxury. Rome set both
the example and the pace.
The excavations which have proceed
ed for more than a century and half
may be said now to be fairly com
pleted. Nothing more is needed to
enable the archaeologist to reconstruct
the life OF the ancient Roman colony
nothing else to startle the modern seek
er after truth.
The temples, the Villas the theaters,
the baths, the gardens, disentombed at
last, lie gaping to the skies in heaps
Of variegated marble and granite, whis-
pering their story mayhap to the moon,
yet telling it plainly enough to the
passerby under the common light of
day-a story of Incidence and frivolity
mistaken by the semibarbaric mind
for pleasure, Of gorgeous displays in
public places, mysterious orgies in pri-
vate, feasts incalculable, vinous liba-
ton to the gods, gladiato rial combats,
chariot racing, human beings fed to
iions-all in mimicry of Rome, of Rome
already beginning it's downward course
toward the fall.
Art they had to decorate the scene,
within and without the peristyle, pic
lures and statues, arches and colon
nades in bronze and alabaster, porphy-

rian dyes and local red we have not
been able to repeat, though much of it
is quite restored.-Louisville Courier

GERMAN1yS BLACK LETTER.
Comparison Of Texts Used In Print
ing In the FatherIand.

ComparisOn of Texts Used In Print
ing In the FatherEand.
1T is remarkable that SO practical a
people as the Germans should continue
to use their blind black letter. says
Jerome Hart. The German text is
ugly, and when printed from small
type on dingy paper with high speed
| presses, as is the case with most daily
newspapers, it is difficult to decipher.
| Ever since the days of Cadmus alpha
bets have been designed to convey IDEAS
and those alphabets which transfer
thought with the most quickness, clear
| ness and precision are the best Con-
Bidered from these standpoints the Ger
man alphabet is one of the worst. That
| it is a failure is shown unconsciously
in many ways. Advertisers, for exam
| pie, have no sentiment about them
They want to reach the reader aud
reach him quickly. Therefore nearly
all the display advertisements in Ger
man newspapers are printed in Latin
characters
so, too, with the commercial and
financial pages Stockholders and mer-
chants have no time to waste in de-
ciphering badly printed German text
Therefore the commercial page in the
German dailies is now nearly always
set up in Roman type. Circus adver-
tiselnents, theater placards and adyer-
Using posters generally, the names of
streets on the corner signs, the letter
ing on cars and omnibuses, even tenn
porary signs, such as No Thorough
fare or Street Closed you nearly al
ways see in Latin characters
Another proof of the inferiority of
the German text is the fact that nearly
all German scientific works are printed
in Roman. This has been the case for
years, but it has had little effect on
the printing of books of general ma
ture. Bismarck did much to retard this
needed Improvement, for he chung stub
bornly to the German text and fire.

almonds ground into white powder
between two millstones. Such flour
is liner thing than your -four of
wheat, eh?''
Then he lifted great lid and re-
vealed some thirty or forty compart-
ments, one filled with pink flour, an
other with a yellow one, third with a
brown one, fourth with a white, a
fifth with pale green, a sixth with
blue, and so on.
All these are Chinese fiours,'' he
said. "1n China, sir, we make over
fifty kinds Of -four We make -four out

a compromise has been reached on the
subject of Notifications, which has been
the crux of the situation since the start

considerable influence was brought to
bear on both sides looking to conces-

might be avoided and an entente be-

The lateness of the hours of adjourn

prevails and it is believed that the next
few days will see an amicable ending

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. 16.-During the day
the belief that there would be an ami
cable settlement of the Swedish and
Norwegian dispute developed into con-
f1dence. There is reason to believe that
King Edward has taken direct per-
sonaI interest in the matter and 1t is
known that messages bearing upon the
situation at Karlstad have been daily
rassing between the foreign Office and
the king for the last two days. In fact
it is believed that King Edward sug-
gested a modum vivendi. The exact
nature of this, of course, is not known.
but it is understood that DIR. Nansen,
the Arctic explorer, who has been men
toned as the first Norwegian minister
to London, and the Swedish minister
here approved of the proposal that in
stead of demolition of the fortresses
they should be disarmed, Sweden and
Norway agreeing not to increase arma-
ments and entering into a permanent
peace treaty. This is believed in Lon
don to form the basis of the agree
ment.
1t is understood in London that after
a full agreement is signed Prince
Charles of Denmark will be elected
king of Norway.
