GULF STREAM SWIMMERS.

Starting Experience of Moonlight
Swim in the Great Ocean Current
Accomplished by Shark-Scared Big
Fish Away.
The wharf rats Of New York and
other large cities who seem willing
to brave the wrath Of the officers of
the law are but the making of many
Of the most fearless swimmers Of the
world. A commercial traveller who

cincts Of the United States, but in

population of the Metropolis, said that,
however pleasant and enjoyable his
youthful excursions, they were not to
compare with swim in the Gulf
Steam-the Gulf Steam, teeming with
life, that only one whose nerves are
in absolute consonance with the
ocean can escape. Wrigging and dart
ing things grip unseen at the swim
mer's breast and arms. Silvery flashes
before his face tell of fish turning
their glittering sides sharply as they
leap away at his approach. Big and
little, rising out of enormous depths
to sink again half seen, all conspire
to make that sunlight splendor place
of sudden terrors to any except the
fearless.

A LapIand Birthday Present.

AS soon as a Lapp baby is born a
reindeer is presented to him. This
reindeer is literally his start in life,
for not only that deer. but all its
young, and as they grow up, all their
young deer, belong to the child. When
he is of age he has quite herd of
his own.
This custom is of much greater use
to him than If every aunt, uncle and
cousin he had in the world presented
him with the heaviest silver spoon
to be found.

sWEEPING NUN CTION
Secured Against Labor Union by Water
bury Contractor.

Waterbury, June 27.-William F.
Chatfeld, who under the name of Chat
field & Chatfield, is a contractor and
builder of this city, secured to-day,
through his attorney N R. Bronson,
from Judge Joel H. Reed of the SUI
perior court, what is perhaps the most
sweeping injunction ever issued
against labor union in this state.
The paper, which is of great length and
minuteness, is issued against the brick
layers, nnasons' and plasterers' unions
of this city, whose members have been
on strike for about two months. It
charges intimidation and interference
of such a nature as to cripple Chat
fields business. 1t does not, however,
forbid merely intimidation, but re-
strains the union from 'persuading"
and "cajoling" the firms employees to
leave work. Damages of $4,000 are ask
ed for in the suit that accompanies the
injunction.
