Mob Demonstration at Newburgh.
NEwBURGH, N. Y. May 16-A mob of
about 900 striking brick yard hands from
the Fishkfll yards came over to Newburgh
today in an attempt to extend the strike
to the Roseton and New Windsor yards.
The mob. composed OF negroes and Ital-
ians. carried flags and some of them were
armed with clubs. They marched first to
New Windsor. and the yards there stop
ped work before the narchers arrived.
They then returned to Nevburgh with their
ranks somewhat augmented and paraded
the city. A party of police and deputies
drove them from the street on to the
tracks of the West Shore railroad. They
then started up the track fer the big brick
yards At Roseton, four miles above New
buFgh. -
Near Roseton q posse of deputies armed
with rifles and shot guns halted the crowd.
A. H. F. Seeger. the district attorney of
Orange county, ordered the men back. as
they were trespassing on the railroad s
property. The strikers parleyed with Mr..
Seeger and four Of the leaders were ar
rested.
The strikers were then driven back to
Newburgh like sheep. On the way several
Of the marchers concealed themselves and
rolled rocks down the banks on the pursu-
ing deputies who fired, and it is said, shot
one or two Of the gang. On arriving at
Newburgh the strikers were driven on the
ferry boat and sent across the river. The
men on the New Windsor and Roseton
yards are contented. and are working
steadily.

large numbers Of persons were killed by the
army during the San Francisco fire. Such
dispatches are. to speak mildly, Incorrect

San Francisco and the army being entirely
unjustifiable. The frightful disaster which
threw quarter OF million people into
the streets was marked by conditions of or

ible Hysteria, excitement, crime and vio-
lence were noticeable only by their practi-
cal absence. Normally but one death week

been reported. Investigations by Capt.
Winn. covering a week or more. have been
made through the city coroner, Chief OF
police, board of health and military COM

Where Mans Power is Fatal,

Man is the only animal which is
always accompanied by disease, ex-
cept those creatures that are his COM
panions and share his patronage.
There is reason to believe that the
denizens of the forests, the veldt, the
rivers and the ocean, so far as they
escape mans influence, live, with
hardly an exception, healthy lives
Chronic ailments begin with mans
protection in the dairy. stable and ken
mel. Man has created artificial condi-
tons with which the thousand ills
that flesh is heir to- are associated.
1t Is now his supreme task to bring
these conditions into harmony with
the laws Of his being. Sickness and
debility are not to be regarded as nat
ural and inevitable parts of our herit-
age, but as the fruits of rebellion
against natures laws, and therefore to
be got rid of. If the human family
dwelt in ventilated houses, broathed
pure air, lived temporarily, with little
or no alcohol, and took daily exercise
in the open, it would, perhaps, know
little more of govt, rheumatism, can
Ger, fever, lumbago, dyspepsia, asthma
and the host of infectious troubles
than do the lower animals.

his feet and swept him toward the

Miss Winsted was standing with

WAITING for Population.

Richard Arthur, NJ. p, president of
the Immigration League of Australia,
has been pointing out some startling
facts in reference to the lack Of popu-
'ation in the commonwealth. In the
vast northern territory there are only
$50 whites, or one sinhabitant to every
700 square miles. The immense emp
ty spaces, he says, cry out for popula-
ton. The world has grown so small
that the only solid title to any part
of it's surface is effective occupation.
Modern methods of transit have
brought the vast, unoccupied northern
territory of Australia within easy
reach of the teeming Asiatic peoples.
