Strike Breakers
Quietly Come
Into City.
Sixty Men Said to Have
Been Imported by
the Company.

Conveyed by seven private de-
tectives. twenty-eight strike breakers,
recruited in. ST. Louis, marched from
the ferry to the car barns at Fiiimore
and Turk streets in the darkest hours
of yesterday morning Through the
length OF the burnt dfserfct the score
and eight men trudged, with their
armed guards ever alert, but the prog
ress was unmolested Not until sew
eral hours later did the union pickets
learn that the vanguard Of calhoun
union" had arrived and was safely es-
tablished in the United Railroads
stockade.
About II o'clock a second band, num-
bering about thirty men. arrived at the
Third and Townsend street depot. When
the train bearing the strike-Dreakers
passed Valencia street station mem
Der of the train crew tipped or the con-
signment to union pickets and watch
was kept for the men at the downtown
station. But this time no parade was
made. The party split up into small
groups, each chaperoned by detective
or two, and unostentatiously made their
several ways to various car barns, the
majority going to the Utah street car
house. There are now about sixty
strike breakers In the city.
A. Walbesluff and j. Keegan, the lat
ter residing at 631 Ivy avenue, had been
with the Importation, but quit as soon
as this city was reached. Both men
had been union men in this city prior to
the fire and had gone East after the
disaster. Last week they saw chance
to Join the strike-breakers and return
to San Francisco without cost and took
advantage of 1t, deserting the party
however, as soon as this city was
reached and reporting at the carmens s
headquarters, $50 Webster street.
The strikers heard from several
sources that many of the men In the
Fillmore-street carbmns wished TO
leave, but were forcibly detained In the
stockade by armed guards. The mat
ter was reported to the police, and
Commissioner Hegarty and Detective
Harry Reynolds went through the
barracks to 1iberate such men as
wished to leave the place. None de-
sired to accompany the commissioner
and detective.
The officers reported that they found
but thirty men in the place, while the
carmen declared that at least a hum
dred were quartered there.
What might be commentary on the
disinclination of the strike breakers to
leave the Enclosure is the fact that
Hegarty and Reynolds reported that
they found one of the men engaged in
picking twenty chickens for the strike
breakers dinner.
The union men were surprised that
rike-breakers would enter the city so
early, as the pfSAs. dispatches located
the Farley trains In the Rocky Noun
tain States The men who arrived yes
terday were picked up in st. Louis.
Patrick Macdonald, the man selected
by the strikers conference to lead the
pickets, Is busy organizing his forces
and posting them about the city to
watch the advance of the strike
breakers.

WOMEN CARELESS OF WATCHES
VIEWS OF A NEW YORK DEALER
IN TINEPIECES.

HI says, and Forget Them for Days at
q Time-FOnd Of Handsome Cases,
Though Some HISh Priced Watches.
As a general thing women are careless Of
their watches. At least that is the opinion
Of some of the leading watch makers.
A man connected with one of the pioneer
watch factories Of this country let in a good
deal Of light on the subject when approached
by a Sun reporter. The reporter had been
a few hours earlier a witness to the follow
ing incident:
A woman sailed into a Fifth avenue
jewelry establishment and made for the
watch department. Evidently she was a
regular customer.
Something ails this watch" she began
in an injured tone. Half the time it refuses
TO 20 and this is one of the times.
And I paid enough for it, goodness knows
do you wind IL regularity" asked the
man behind the counter.
Why, certainly" answered the woman.
with an infection which clearly meant,
what a silly question" e
The man took the watch and began turn
ing the stem. He wound and wound and
wound and presently the thing began to
tick.
-The watch was run down, = he observed
mildly.
Il don't understand how that could be.
I'm positive l wound it last night" the
owner insisted with some asperity.
The spring indicated that the watch had
not been wound 10 more than twenty-four
hours commented the man.
We'll, l certainly thought l wound it last
night"-this in a less confident tone.
IF you will leave the watch, Madam,
will have It looked over carefully and put
in perfect condition." was the rejoinder,
and the customer swept out.
NO use in the world" the clerk com
mented, "to insist that all the watch needs
ia to be wound regularly. Every watch
maker, every repairer Of watches, has this
experience often, and there is none who has
ever met a woman who did not resent being
told she was careless"
AS a rule" explained the man first re-
Herred to, -the watch Is the most abused

Beautiful eyes are almost necessary In

equally in this respect, and all eyes are not

But a great deal can be done by artince.

Temple wrinkles are smiling wrinkles;
and the pretty woman who wants TO stay

water twice a week and rub q good wrinkle

SALT AMI g BAGS.

Mr.. brown Learns Something About rhaiF
varied HousehOld Uses.
Say, mother" said Letitia Brown, we
won't nave any more salt bags; will wet"
No more salt bags?' " said Mr.. Brown
TO himself, having by chance overheard
Letitia's remark. IL took but little ques-
tioning to bring nj information on these
points, and incidentally there was elected
other bag information, which, to Mr.. Brown.
was even more interesting.
Salt bags, IL seems, are, in many houses
holds. when empty, washed out and used
al dish cloths. But the Brown family
has given up housekeeping and gone "a
boarding; 1t retains it's apartment, just the
same, but takes its meals in a neighboring
good boarding house. So, naturally, they
wouldn't be buying any more@alt. Z
Then Mrs. Brown said that, anyhow, they
hadn't been using salt bags for some time,
because lately, while salt is still put up In
bags, they had been buying salt put up In
wooden 60 in ~pastebeagd boxes. They'd
been making their dish cloths lately, she said
out Of sugar bags. Sugar, 1t appears, once
never n put up, 10 now quite commonly
sold IN bags.
Casually, Mrs. Brown mentioned anothar
use OF salt Gags Lh4t was new even 10 LeuAns
who knew something about salt bags. Mrs.
Brown said that once they had a servant
who used to take the salt bags when they
were smptiad and open them out and wash
the marks out Of them, and then for eoone-
mv's sake, hem them, for ~handkerchiefs
for her Iittls brother.
And yet there remained the fact, mildly
bewailed by Letita. that there would be no
more salt bags for dish cloths. Here Mr..
Brown wanted to say TO Lefty, We'll, what
Of It? Not housekeeping any more, we
shan't nave any dishes to wash and Va
shan't want any dish cloths, salt bag o.
sugar bag" But he didn't say these things,
for he didn't want to hurt Letitia's feelings
BY showing her how little She looked ahead,
nor did he want TO make her feel worse BY
showing her how mu oh more logical his
mind. He said nothing, but Just kept these
things to himself; but not without his Usual
modest consciousness OF superiority.

Those long suffering men who have charge
OF places where pocketless women folk
most do congregate condBde the Justice
Of this statement. The mar behind the desk
where lost articles are received and inquired
for in the department stores will tell you
how often purses are reported lost, but
how seldom they turn up with their con-
tents intact, though they are frequently
found in some corner Of the store stripped
of the money that was In them.
This was just As true a hundred years
ago as is is to-day. Witness the famous
case Of Lucy Locket, who in the fashion
able shortwaisted gown OF the period, the
scant himsiness Of which refused to sup
port a pocket, walked out with her reticule
dangling On her arm.
Lucy Locket lost her pocket" as the
reticule was often called, and it will be
remembered that when Kitty Fisher found
it there was not a penny in Il but the bind
ing round it," At least that was what
Kitty said, but here comes in the psychology
ical question Had some unknown person
really rifed the pocket before she found II,
or did Kitty, previously an innocent girl,
yield to a momentary temptation and take
the money herself?

for fashionable at least.
Take it all in all" said he, women care
a good deal more about the outside looks
Of their watch than about whether IL gains
or loses minutes or hours a day.

when IL comes to a question Of the case
though, our women customers are much
more fastidious than most men, and for
this reason the elaboration OF the watch
case becomes more marked every year.
Hosts OF New York women now wear chate-
laine watches costing. any where from 500
to 81, 500. In most OF these the pin may
be separated from the watch n worn
as q breastpin, but this is not often done.
ITO get down to the palmer styles, how
ever, the enamelled chatelaine watch is
practically out OF style, its place taken by
the gold chatelaine watch, engraved with
a monogram or showing a gold dial open
face.
The very fashionable woman when Sc
lectinG an ordinary watch for use rather
than ornament chooses a gold open face
watch, jewel size, which means a little
more than one inch in diameter. and this
she wears tucked in her belt. Attached
to the watch is a ribbon chat about one
third OF an inch wide, decorated at intervals

clasp. These clasps are OF imitation jewels

blaine chatelaine watches n the belt
watches Of gold or silver, the latter are by
far the smarter just now.
when il comes to elaborate chatelaine
watches, that is another story. These are
more fashionable, il possible, than ever
and they represent scores OF designs show
ing precious stones in all sorts Of groupings.
Three Of these designs lead all the rest. and
here they are"
The dealer took from a drawer three
watches and spread them out on a piece Of
velvet. The first vas covered entirely
with diamonds- small diamonds set so
close together that not a glimmer OF metal
showed between. The pin Of the watch,
in a flower and leaf design, was also solidly
Of diamonds. Watch and pin were 5000,
which, the dealer explained, was really
cheap for the thing.
The second design was paved with pearls,
meaning that small pearls were split and
applied to the gold. not quite touching,
giving a checkered effect, the same idea
being carried out on the chatelaine pin,
which represented a winged bird. The
price was 81 500, some designs Of still smaller
pearls costing only half so much. Larger
whole pearls set on in a circular row near
the edge Of the watch, or studding IL, are

that were often looped by being drawn
through their own packets.
But the pocket which really fulfilled
its true mission in life was that one which
combined safety, discretion and convenience
by being sewed into the full skirt at the
side. Curioukly enough, and a tribute to
the modest good sense Of our grandmothers,
this style of pocket, Mrs. Earle thinks,
was in general use only during some fifty
years of the nineteenth century.

soon discontinued, as We ara told that or

day, but were finally left to such strong
minded frumps as would sacrifice fashion
to convenience.

a few quaint contrivances for keeping her
