Railway Clerks on Strike.

AS a result of the alleged refusal of the
officials of the Atlantic system. Southern
Pacific railway, to grant an interview to
committee of railway clerks in its en-
ploy, who sought an audience for the pur-
pose of presenting a request for shorter
hours, increase of pay, pay for overtime,
seniority rights and right of appeal from
unjust discharge. the clerks went on a
strike.
1t is the first strike of the railway clerks
in the history of the country, to include
more than one Office force, and 1t is esti-
mated that 500 clerks walked out.
The clerks contend that during the past
twelve years the duties of the clerks have
been gradually increased and the hours OF
service heightened and that all other
classe Of employees have received increases
in pay and improved conditions of service;
that the cost of living has increased fully
60 per cent; that the company has become
very prosperous and that instead of the
clerks sharing I'm this prosperity many in
stances of individual reduction have &C.
Cured.
The striking clerks are making an urgent
appeal to members and non-members of
the Railway Clerks Union throughout the
country to aid them financially in their
fight.

NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION.
Sales for 1905 Greater Than for ANY
Previous Year

Statistics prepared by the geological sur
vey Of the natural gas industry show that
in the calendar year 1903 the value of
natural gas produced and sold exceeded
that of any previous year by $3.066, 099. The
total value of the gas produced and sold
was 1855. The greatest increase was
in West Virginia, S1.961. 655 more than the
previous year. Pennsylvania shows an in
crease of $1057, 4i2. Louisiana appeared
for the first time gas-producing state
and notable increases over previous pro-
duction were shown by Kansas Oklahoma
and the Indian Territory. Kansas showed
an increase of 40 per cent over its previous
production. and the combined production of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory was 161 per
cent over 1904. The great gas fields of In
diana have steadily declined since 1902. and
the value of output last year was consider
ably less than one-half of the maximum
production. Kentucky and Tennessee also
report decline.
The statistics show that 2,139 persons.
firms and corporations reported to the
geological survey their use of natural gas
during 1905 The number of domestic con-
sumers supplied was 779.ooS. A total of
1863 establishments, including iron mills.
steel works, glass works, brick plants, ETC.,
made use Of natural gas.

HER CHINESE HUSBAND.
Mrs. Sun Yue Has Decided to Leave
Him

| A dispatch from San Francisco says: 1t
has developed that the foundation OF the
report that Mrs. Sun Yue, formerly Miss
| Ella Clemmons, sister of Mrs. Howard
| Gould of New York-she who was once
| Katheryn C1emmons-has grown tired of
| the Chinese bridegroom whom shu took
| unto herself" recently is the fact that Sun
fue, who is employed as a bricklayer on
| the work Of the rehabilitation of San
| Francisco at 50 day, has failed 10 pro-
| vide from this daily wage sufficient funds
| for practical, not to say poetical, exist
! ence.
Just after this marriage, which, by the
way. Is absolutely prohibited by che laws
| of California, between the sister of How
ard Gould's wife and a Chinaman. so
amazed and shocked the people of San
Francisco. The bride was very outspoken
| in expressions Of belief in happy future
for herself. She declared that she had
| married the Chinaman because she loved
him, and If her friends in San Francisco
would not receive them they would go to
China and spend the remainder of their
days there.
But the romance apparently is at an
end and 1t Is believed that the young
| woman now has nothing but regret for
her action.
Mr.. and Mrs. San Yue are living in a
| tent in what. before the earthquake and
scene of her missionary labors for years
During the first weeks Of her honeymoon
she was very emphatic In justifyinS her
act To an interviewer she said:
What was more natural than that l
should become the wife of Chinese The
greater part of my life has been spent
among them. They are good, kind peo-
pie and are much misunderstood. L do
not know how people Will receive my
husband; that is. / do not know how they
will look upon my heroic step. In case
they are not kind / shall go to China and
there spend the rest of my life"
Asked how her sister, Mrs. Gould, and
the family of which the latter has become
member regarded her heroic STEP,
she said that she did not know, and
added:
my sister and are very different. My
sister was-born to reign. 1 was born to
do the work 1 am doing. I love my sister.
but I have not heard from her in eight
years and do not think 1 shall visit her
now"
How do you like the notoriety that has
been thrust upon you?" was asked
did you like the earthquake" was the
meaningful reply.
A policeman whose post for years has
been in the most squalid> section Of San
Francisco's Chinatown pays this tribute
to Mrs. Sun Yue:
"She is a very unusual woman. The
best friend these Chinese ever had. In the
days following the earthquake she got
them food and clothing. She has looked
fairly worship her and take her wishes
as commands.
But Mrs. San Yue has found that 1t Is
one thing to be a missionary among the
Chinese and quite another to be the wife
of one Of them.

fective manner. The church and all organ
fsatSons that have for their object the
overthrow OF the saloon can embody their
convictions and center their forces In this
organization. It's work in the District OF
Columbia commends 1t to the approval and
hearty cooperation Of all who love sobriety
and good order.
1T stands for an exalted idea Of the no
btlity of manhood, and seeks the destruc-
ton of the saloon because the saloon hurts
that works harm to mans well-befng can
be permitted to exist as an institution and
prey upon society. Hence as church we
are ready to stand in with the Anti-Saloon
League of the District and back up its
efforts in every way possible
At the Sixth Presbyterian Church the pas
tor, Dr. Skellenger gave an illustrated tenn
perance lecture at his evening service en-
titled:
Business or Booze"
zone Of 1abor's worst foes" he said, lis,
unfortunately. not recognized by labor as a
foe. BY many, indeed 1t is treated as q

1t is caused, often by deadly drugs. to foam
and sparkle in the cup. So, without seeing
the serpents fangs nor the adder's sting.
1t Is quaffed as friend, but presently 1t
causes contentions. and brings on bafaings

a flaming red. It is strange, passing
strange, that an enemy who does all this,
and does 1t openly, to the laboring man,
should yet be regarded as labor's friend.

and kills. and that, too without any COM

DR.. w. Taliaferro Thompson of the Eek

This is temperance Sunday in the District
of Columbia and I am glad to have this
opportunity to say something that may
deepen interest in this important subject In
the congregation have the honor to serve.
And first of all make an appeal for per-
sonal remuneration of strong drink.
John D. Long, ex-Secretary of the Navy,
is reported saying: Drink is the dyna-

strong drink is ruinous to body, mind and

Status Of the League.
The pastor of the First Methodist Prot
estant Church. Rev. B. p. Truitt, in pre-
senting Mr.. F. M. Bradley to his evening
congregation said in part:
Temperance Is a vital element in social
and civic righteousness. In order to bring
up the body polite of state and nation to
It's highest standard and quality, we must
permeate the entire fabric with this prin-
ciple of sobriety. One of the most effective
ways of doing this is by means OF the Anti
Saloon League. 1t is a socialist in this
field of moral reform 1t deals with the
question in a most direct and practical
manner. 1t meets the enemy on his own
ground; faces him before the excise board
and challenges his every attempt to renew
his old license or secure new one. Its
main businss and effort Is to rid the ma
ton of the saloon. Every phase of the re-
form, whether Of law enactment, law en-
forcement or the creation of a healthy
public sentiment upon the saloon evil Is

POLICE COVER CRIMES.
Attorney Stevenson Was Killed With
= Club.

dispatch from Chicago says: Chicago
| Is again In the grasp of criminals Follow
| ing the murder of Mrs. Margaret Leslie,
! which the coroner's verdict declared was
suicide, comes that of Attorney Charles H.
Stevenson, whose body was found in an
| alley back Of the building at No. 96 Wash
ington street early Saturday morning. The
police claim that he was killed by falling
down an elevator shaft but all the circum-
| stances point to murder.
That Stevenson was killed with blunt
instrument is the opinion of physician and
private detectives retained by relatives and
friends of the dead man. The physician
whose name is withheld, is said to have
treated injuries caused by blows from
policemans club.
Stevenson's friends always supposed that
he was unmarried, but the tragedy has re-
vealed wife. She read of the discovery
of his body while coming downtown in a
street car and Immediately made herself
known to his law associates.
The widow denies that she compelled
Stevenson to marry her at the point of
revolver, as has been charged by County
Judge Mcmahon of Hammond, Ind, who
performed the ceremony. She admits. how
ever, that she was divorced from her for
mer husband and that Stevenson had repre-
sented her in the proceedings. The mar
riage, she says, took place nine months ago,
and though they had been living together
L
because he had made bad investments and
did not wish to tell his friends until he
could live In STYLE"
Stevenson was distant relative of for
mer Vice President Adlai Stevenson and
cousin of DR.. Sarah Hackett Stevenson.
He was a Harvard graduate.
The police are preparing for a verdict of
accidental death from the coroner's jury
and have practically dropped their investi-
cation.
Edward G.. Nicholas. theatrical agent,
is in custody In connection with the death of
Mrs. Leslie the actress, who was found
dead in the Palace Hotel on Thursday.
Nicholas admitted, 1t is stated, that he
was in conversation with Mrs Leslie the
night before she died. and had agreed to
meet her the next day. Nicholas has one
artificial leg.
The coroner's verdict was that Mrs Les
lie came to her death from gas poisoning,
but the statement of the Woman'S father,
W. o. Woody, and number of friends that
she possessed diamonds valued at $1,000,
and that it was their belief that she had
been murdered caused Coroner Hoffman to
order another autopsy. 1t is said that this
strangulation.
When the body was discovered Thursday
morning by Nellie Bender. chambermaid
and Albert Kibby, houseman, it was on
the floor near the bed and one of the gas
Jets was open, but an undergarment was
knotted tightly around her neck and her
tongue protruded and her face was disco;-
ored. One of the windows of the room was
open and the gas must have easily escaped
An empty chloroform bottle was found near
the body, but no trace OF the drug was
found at the autopsy. The room door was
locked from the outside and the key was
found ON window sill In the hall.

SULPHUR FLOODS TOWN.
San Salvador Volcano Brings Death tt
Pauchiualco's Inhabitants.

A dispatch from San Salvador says: Tel
egraphic communication with interior
points has been restored and news Of the
disaster wrought by the terrific storm
which has swept over the country Is being

only necessary that the decent law-abidine
majority Of the people should come to the
front. that the people should exercise their
sovereignty. Society wants more light, more
awakening, more conscience" 49,
Anti-Saloon League Commended.
At Memorial Lutheran Church. the pas
tor DR.. J. g. Butler, said:
LAS the people Of the Memorial Church
know the pulpit Is in full sympathy with
reasonable efforts to abate and destroy the
drink evil. 1t teaches total abstinence from
all intoxicants as the only rule of safety.
The work of the Anti-Saloon League, In
its purpose to destroy the saloon, Is worthy
the hearty help Of all sober-minded men
and women and to live and should live
earnestly and prayerfully for the world $
betterment. The liquor saloon rivals all
fountains of iniquty. belching forth drunk
enness, poverty, wretchedness, insanity
and crime in all the untold and UNRELIABLE
wickedness and misery. 1t ought to be de-
