ski SIS Dixon street, was slapped in the

The Kilkenny Cats.

ats of Kilkenny relates to the Irish
'ables of two Kilkenny cats which
ought so fiercely that only their tails
we're left. AS matter of fact, the
able is said TO have originated in an
,ctual episode. During the Irish rebel
ion of 1903 it was Il custom of the
dessian soldiers stationed at Kilkenny
o tie two cats together by their tails,
lang them over q clothes line and then
cave them to fight. Surprised one
light at this brutal sport, soldier
irew his sword and by a cut across
'heir tails set the cats free. The pres
-nce of the two tails was explained by
,aying that the two cats had fought

Ice Cream Habit.

London News: When l was in New
York the extraordinary amount of ice
cream devoured by Americans was proved
to me by the large devoted in the
department stores to the sale of this popu-
lar ypfreshment. II guess we Americans
have cast-iron tixings," said one of them
when ! expressed my aston.shment 1T the
way in which even elderly men and wom-
en- took ice cream at social festivities.
Certainly the ice eream habit must have
something to do with the indigestion from
which so many suffer in the summer.
At all the parties one attends in America
ice cream is an inevitable item on the
menu, and it is consumed in quantities
which would delight London caterer
who charges by the quart!

NOW UP TO STRIKERS.
Rank and File of Chicago Transfers
VIII Vote on Peace Offer of
EMPLOYERS

Chicago, ILL.,, June 24.--The crank and
file" of the striking Transfers were to-
day given an opportunity to say whether
the strike will continue. At a meeting of
the teamsters' joint council it was decid
ed to submit this to the men.
The three principal clauses in the en-
ployers proposition which the strikers
will vote on will be the elimination of
the express drivers from the settlement,
the maintaining of police and armed
guards on the wagons after the strike
is called off, and the right to wear a
union button concealed.
1t is said that the employers are in
clined to take back a big percentage of
their old teamsters, but it must be on
terms dictated by them.
Mr.. FarWell gave out the following
statement:
''Inasmuch as settlement giving ade-
quate protection to a. nOn-union man
seems unlikely, the employers are now
preparing to refuse to take back any
striking teamster. In such an event, of
course, no further conferences would be
held. The strike has ceased to be a
strike, but is rather an annoyance. 1t
10 longer has any effect on business"

WANT PRESIDENTS HELP.
Portland Chamber Of Commerce Asks In
vestigation of Chinese Exclusion in
Fear of Threatened Boycott.

Washington, D. c., June 24-That the
threats of the commercial guilds of
China to boycott Americana made goods
has raised serious question in the minds
of this country's businessmen and manu-
facturers is indicated by a telegram re-
ceived by President Roosevelt from the
Portland, Ore, chamber of commerce.
This says in part:
The first consideration is regard for the
nations honor, which demands faithful and
fair performance Of its treaty obligations.
Secondly, our commercial interests are
seriously threatened by the severe man
ner in which our present laws are executed,
which seem in their practical working to
contravene treaty obligations. We earnest
recommend that a more liberal interpreta-
ton and, meantime, the announcement Of
the appointment by your excellency Of a
commission to inquire into the present ex-
clusion laws with instructions to recon-
mend to Congress such legislation as shall
promote increased harmony.
Victoria, V. c., June 24-Victoria's
5000 Chinese are working theoretically to
aid the boycott declared by their nation
against United States goods. A fund is
being subscribed to aid in reimbursing
coolies who lose wages at Chinese ports
by their refusal to unload steamers carry
ing United States goods.
