FUNERAL DRIVERS STRIKE.
Professions Being Held Up in New
York City.

New York May 22.-Though there
appeared to be a tendency on the part
of the coach owners to get together and
try to settle in a body with the fun
eral coach drivers who are on strike,
the officers Of the latter met yester-
day and decided to have no collective
settlement.
A number of funerals were held up,
but most of the large concerns post
poned funerals where possible. The
undertakers usually drove the hearses
impossible to get drivers for pleasure
parties. The officers of the union re-
ported last evening that 20 out of the
IS employers had settled with the IN
ion Individually.
One Of the funerals held up was sent
out by Mr.. Sicardi, an undertaken. The
7eortege consisted. of a hearse and faur
coaches and had reached Fourth street
when President O'Brien and a commit
Cered the drivers to dismOunt which
they did The relatives of the dead
person began TO plead with the strik-
ers, but those in the other coaches
were very angry and it looked at first
like fight. A policeman came up and
soon Strengthened matters out The
funeral was allowed to continue.
A Hebrew charitable organization
which conducts funerals free for poor
Hebrew families had four to conduct
yesterday, and Barnet Friedman,
president Of the organization asked for
police protection The request was
granted. The burial place for the So
ciety is Silver Lake cemetery, Staten
Island, and policeman sat beside the
driver Of the hearse or wagon in which
each was taken.

CAN'T START THE MINES.
Imported Nonunion Men Desert in
Ohio.

smithheld. o., May 22.-Desertions
from the ranks of the nonunion men
imported by the United States Coal
company have so crippled the avail
able force that the concern has been
unable to start its mines today as
planned.
Of the first thirty miners brought in
only eight remain. One hundred men
were brought from Chicago last night.
Fourteen of them arrived at Plum
Run. The. remainder were persuaded
by union delegates to desert. The
men now at the mine, sixty in number,
are absolutely insufficient to man the
machines. The union already claims
2 victory.
There was more firing on the hills
last night. but there are as yet no re-
ports of personal injuries.

Such a topper had he become that the
management had to put stop to his
indulgence, for whisky is not good for
him, and he is a very valuable mon
key. Ike has a liking for good cigars.
and he can readily tell the mild do
nestle from the strong imported. His
one redeeming feature is his abhor-
ence of cigarettes. His trainer APP
preached him one day with a cigar
cite in his mouth. and Immediately
he flew into a rage. snatched It away
from him and very politely proffered
the remnants of a cigar that he was
smoking.
Ike is a very clever monkey and tho
things ne does are truly wonderful;
but he is only a very small feature
in a great big show, in which there
are more than five hundred other an
imals equally as interesting. The
Gentry Bros. have the largest trained
animal show in the world now. and to
enumerate its many features would
take volumes. Sufficient to say that

drank eevrything in sight. and the
viler the stuff the better he liked it.

FIGHT FOR BIG PROPERTY.

IRON Mine Suit.

Duluth, Mimi, May 22.@The pre-

Clarke and Leonard iron mines near
Chisholm, worth more than $4,000
600, was this morning renewed before
Judge Cant in the district court.
The heirs disposed of the unde-
veloped property some years ago for
$4,000. The sale was made by their
guardian and was allowed by the pro-
bate court They now seek to have
the sale set aside and the property
restored. OF the real value of the
properties they claim to have been
ignorant until after their rights were
decided away. They believe that the
difference between its worth and the
price received will justify the court in
annulling the sale. The heirs of

lay throughout Christendom,
special temperance exercises fill
ed up the Sunday school hour. AT
the Methodist church al address

the occasion, and Miss Lura Minis
recited The Fair Forest child," q

At the Baptist church there
were recitations by Florence Peak,

it is for his toddling footsteps
that the father listens as be CROSS

for the first kiss.
Tho Lord knows best because
He gees the future as we do not
and He has taken the children
