a battlefield Tuesday, resulting in four
men being shot down and nearly forty
others being more or less severely in
jured. 1t was the first day of actual
terror since the transfers strike he
gan, and it spread SO rapidly and with
such spontaneity that before noon the
police had been overwhelmed in their
efforts to prevent the hundreds OF in
dependent drivers imported into the
city from being beaten or to prevent
the independent workers, frightened
out of their wits by mob attacks, from
drawing revolvers and magazine pis-
tolls and shooting at their tormenters.
The most furious clashes came at
Harrison street and Wabash avenue
Congress street and Wabash avenue
West Jackson boulevard and Halsted
street and Market and Madison streets.
In each of these encounters many
shots were fired and three or four men
were shot so severely that the recOv-
cry of one is considered impossible.
The kingpin of it all, from the en-
ployers' side, was Frank Curry, whose
reputation as a strike breaker is ma
tiOnal. Curry had come Boosting what
ne intended to do, and ne found big
task cut out fer him. He seemed to
be everywhere at once directing the
hundreds of independent men he had
brought into the city or found ready to
help him when he arrived.
Independent teamsters tried, for the
when the days work began, but soon
found that with the big hickory pick
handles, with which their employers
had provided them, they were unable
to withstand the attacks made by the
mObs, with threw missiles of all kinds.
Their appeal for permission to carry
revolvers having been denied by the
chief of police, they procured revOl-
vers anyway and made ready to shoot.
1t required little provocation to cause
the colored men to use their revolvers
and magazine pistols, and soon there
was shooting in nearly every part of
the business district.
The employers Tuesday assumed a
more decidedly hostile front and be-
gan taking aggressive action. Hun
dreds of Independent workmen are be-
ing brought to Chicago
Four hundred and fifty strike-break-
ers were sworn in as special police
men to guard the wagons of the En-
ployers' Teaming Company. These
men, with all the power conferred by
law on special policemen, and heavily
armed, accompany other strike break
ers and use force to protect them as
well as to protect the wagons of other
concerns than the Employers leaning
Company.
Mayor Dunno ordered Chief O'Neil
to draw 900 special policemen from the
civil service commission list

The implements of the sartorial art

during the past few years, the ancient
tape measure being no longer the sole
mechanical assistant of the cutter and

the greatest difficulties of the filter is
to secure an even cut of the bottom
of the skirt, it being difficult to calcu-
late with any degree of accuracy the

Rules for the Maid.


The rule of "a place for everything
and everything in its place" must be
enforced. The maid must keep her
kitchen cupboards in as good order as
her china closets, and if she does in
little while she Will become so famil-
| lar with the location of each utensil
| and each piece of china or glass that
she could find it in the dark. There
should be no liberty allowed of keep
ing a thing in one place at one time
and in another some other time. This
may seem a trifie, but all these trifles
do their part in creating an orderly
and systematic habit OF mind. Do not
permit the maid to leave the dishes
standing around after they have been
washed, but teach her that it is as es-
senttal to put these away as soon as
they are clean as it is for her to wash
her dish towels and hang them out to
dry once a day.
Try to cultivate system in your maid
in other ways. Impress it upon her
that she must let you know as soon as
the supply of any article is exhausted
and not wait until there is need for it
again before she discloses to you the
fact that it is wanted. To help her in
this hang in your kitchen a small pad
of paper and a pencil and instruct her
that as soon as she uses the last of
any provision she is to write the name
of this on the slip that ii may serve as
memorandum when you go to mar
ket.
If your maids memory is poor, en-
courage her to make notes of the items
of the work she has to perform. In a
way this may not develop her memory
so well as charging her mind with the
details. but there are NAV of US whose
remembrances need crutch now and
then.-Harper'S Bazaar.

1T is a singular fact" says A. Roy
Knabenshue, according to the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, that when one
is going as much as fifteen or twenty
miles an hour in an airship one has
no sensation of moving whatever. The
air beats in your face as you move
along, but it only creates the impress
sion that one is standing still in a
strong breeze.
There are no objects flying past
you as when you are travelling on the
surface of the earth, and as you must
keep your eyes looking ahead of you,
you observe only distant objects, so
distant because of your high point Of
view that you approach them appar-
emily so slowly you do not seem to
move at all. / consider this one of
the queerest sensations in trip
through the air, and the impression of
scarcely moving or Of no. moving at
all is so strong, even on the most ex-
perienced aeronaut, that it is probably
due to this so many of them push their
motor to the extreme limit and it dies
in consequence. When a speed gauge
is invented Tor an airship it will cause
fewer breakdowns Of motors due to
crowding power"
