Fencinq for Exercise.

The enormous value of continual
practice with the foils as means Of
securing and preserving good health
is, in my humble opinion the main
reason for the steady hold of fencing
upon pubic favor in France and Italy,
comments Frederick A ScffWab in
Outing. 1t is only of late years that
the attention bestowed by medical
men upon physical exercise in
France, at least, where DR.. Lagrange's
treatises have become classical-has
given prominence to the worth OF
fencing as health-factOr. Every
one knOWs-Or rather everyone
should know-that fencing presses
into service every muscle of the hui
man frame; that it creates and devel-
ops suppleness and quickness; that
it is not a violent exercise, in so far
as injury by strain is involved; and,
finally, that it's perils are compare
lively few. The proportion Of mis-
haps to the number of fencers, how
ever, is infinitesimal.

Black Death, Plague, Rats, and FIeas.
The origin and nature of the Black
Death. which devastated Europe dur
ing the Middle Ages, has never been
clear. 1t seems certain that the in
lection was brought by the ships OF
certain traders escaping from the
Crimea, where they had been attack
ed by the Tartars at town on the
River Don. During the attack the
Tartars were stricken with violent
plague, which caused great loss of life
among them. In the hope of giving
the curse to the pOple of the bes1eged
town, they threw bodies of their dead
into the town. Their hopes were
fulfilled, and the defenders were also
attacked by the plague. These trad
ers took to their ships and sailed to
various Euro Aean ports, Constantine
pie, Venice, and Genoa, leaving the
Black eDath everywhere behind them.

plague of India. A careful search in
the records of Indian history has
shown that there had been an out

to the time of the Tartar siege and
the Introduction Of the Black Death
ilto Europe. These Tartars might
very easily have taken the disease
from the people of India. If that is
the true story of the train of events,
then the Black Death of the Middle
Ages was the modern plague, dis

certain specific bacillus.
Efforts have been made TO learn the
means by which this disease is car

points have lately come to light and
may lead TO a correct knowledge of

RAIN DAMPENS
STRIKERS ARDOR
DISTURBANCES DECREASE IN
CHICAGO STREETS.
UNIONS FOUND GUILTY
Officers Convicted of Entering Into
Conspiracy to Drive Man Out of
Busness-Court Says They Are
Without Love or Respect for Law
or Rights of Others.

Chicago, May 12.-The teamsters'
strike yesterday was practically with
out incident. Driving storms of
wind and rain which swept the streets
at frequent intervals had the effect
of driving a majority of the pickets
from their posts and there was prac-
tically no disturbance of any kind in
the business section of the city. On
the outskirts, however, there were a
few attacks made upon drivers of de-
livery wagons, but with the exception
OF one colored man who was knocked
senseless by a stone nobody was in
jured.
The most important part of the
strike was the examination of wit
nesses yesterday afternoon before
Master in Chancery Sherman, who is
taking testimony relative co the al
legged violation of the federal iniunc-
tons granted in favor of the employ
ers' association and of the express
companies.
Adolph Pfeil, for IL years an en-
plOye of the United States Express
company, but now a striker, refused
to answer questions on the ground
that he might incriminate himself.
This caused long wrangle between
the attorneys for both sides, which
was terminated by the master in chan
Gerry announcing he would report
witness refusal to the court.
Charles Brown, an employee of the
United States Express company. ties.
tilted that he had been beaten by
strikers. On cross examination he
said revolvers were issued to the non
union men by Mr.. Copely. The de
mand of the strikers attorney to
know why the non-union men were
armed in violation of the mayors
proclamation brought on another long
wrangle. After hearing the testi-
mony of Edward Buckley, a striker
who said he did not continue at work
because he was afraid of being Killed,
the hearing adjourned until today.
Union Agents Guilty.
Chicago, May 12.-Five business
agents of the labor unions were de-
cared guilty yesterday by Judge Chyt-
raus of forming a conspiracy to drive
John M. Stiles, a contractor and
painter, out of business. On the
same decision the officers and mem
hers of the six labor unions, defend
ants in the case, are restrained from
interfering with Stiles or his bust
ness in any way.
Stiles alleged that for ten years
members of various labor organiza
tions had conspired to call strikes and
raise boycotts against him until 9th
Ell contractors were afraid to allow
him to bid on their work.
In his opinion Judge Chytraus de
clared: 'Lawless unioning cannot be
permitted, and these men are shown
to be without love or respect for law
and without regard for the lega
rights of others"

Racing Does not Improve Horsefesh.
The race horse is a tool of the
game, just as ivory chips are tools of
the game Of afro. Would ivory-chip
carving. and a consequent faro game,
improve the breed of elephants? Is
racing, with it's felon corollaries of
murder and larceny, women disgraced
and men destroyed, the one lone hope
of the horse? With it's horses like
greyhonnds, good only for a mile,
does it produce those draught animals
that Rosa Bonheur painted? Did it
give us the cob, or the carriage, or
the slow horse? Cattle and hogs
have been carrid in their culture to
EXTREMIST heights. And yet when
and where were Durhams or Berk-
shires raced? To improve the breed
of horses! After this solemn assur-
ance-writ in the law it is--one is pre-
pared to hear that the famous goose
and turkey race, run on the Brighton
read a century and third ago, was
proposed by Mr. Berkeley and arrang-
ed by Colonel Hanger with purpose
of improving the breed of those con-
tending fowls, and not, as history sup
poses, to rob the Prince of Wales of

IT HE Supreme Court Of Venezuela
i has decided that President Cas-

Of the asphalt trust was within the
scope Of his powers. and the receiver
he appointed remains in charge. No

There is very little sympathy with
the asphalt trust in this country and

They cannot expect the government to

Yet nevertheless, according to APP
parently responsible writer's who have
been ON the ground Castro has delib-
eratey violated every obligation Of his
own and OF his country in this affair. It
appears like plain theft. and there is
little doubt that all OF the property of
the asphalt compan., will ultimately
come to be the personal property OF

ed in one day not fun car is now

FEDERAL CONTROL.

r>HE tendency Of this epoch is un-
i doobtedly towards Federalism. or
as some term IT, paternalism. and the
strange thing about It is that the old pc.
liticai lines which determined whether one
favored States right or larger Federal
authority no longer mean anything.
AS an evidence Of this. st is only neoes.
sary to point out that a wing of the
Democratic party has urged Federal con-
troll OF the corporations as well as Fed
eral control Of such public utilities as
railroads ana telegraph lines. To have
urged that just before or just after the
Civil War would have meant that the adj
vocats did not regard himself as Dem
ocrat
With more consistency the Republicans
have favored Federal control along diff
ferent lines. The President desires amend
ments to the Inter- State Commerce act
which viii give to the Government addi.
tionai powers, even 10 the fixing Of rail-
road traffic rates.
IN addition to these Efforts there are q
number OF comparison movements along
the same lines such as the movement foi
Federation regulation OF insurance com
panies and the demand for uniform mar
riase and divorce laws. which logical,
means constitutional amendment an,
control by the general government.
Now in ali this appears confession
that the several States have proved un
equal TO the task Of government. and 4
tribute is paid to the Federal Government
And there is some reason for it; th,
