Although the Mayor has been anxious
to have the strike settled, he has not
previously attempted to interfere. and
would not do so now without being

the GOnNillOES seem 10 require Ills IN

to avoid anything that might interfere
with its progress I will do all l can

to coax the men to quit work, but-they
refused. and then threats were used.

GIRLS STRIKE RATHER
Than STOP TALKING
Forewoman's Order to Keep Their
Tongues Still Arouses Ire
of Candy Maids.

DENVER, Aug. 4.--Fourteen girls
employed by the Austin Candy Com
pany, resenting the action OF Miss Liz
zie Nichols, their new forewoman. in
posting a notice that there must be
no talking during working hours, went
on strike yesterday. Today FIVE of the
fourteen returned to work, despite the
fact that Miss Nichols stood firm. The
nine others say they never will work
where they cannot talk when they want
to- Miss Nichols said today:
II had to post the notice. The girls
were talking their heads off and max
ing me nervous"
In reply one Of the girls said: Gee!
She's got her nerve. She's only 90 and
some Of us girls who are older don't
get nervous"
Efforts by the strikers to cause a
walkout of the 400 women and girls
employedin the Denver candy factories
have not succeeded and probably will
fail.

SPECIAL DlspATcH TO THE CALL.

~ EDwooD CITY. Aug g.
- George Washington c. Jones
accused of numbering a woman
at the Linden Hotel, in South
San Francisco, on June 2s, sits impa@
tiently in the County Jail awaiting his
trial, which is slated for August Z. Il
am ready" says the accused man. II
am here and will prove complete
alibi. His lawyer, however, is not
ready. He appeared today before Su-
perior Judge George McBuck and an
nounced that when the case is called
next Tuesday he will move for a con-
tinuance Judge Buck implied that
he would act favorably upon the plea
of the counsel and said he would put
the case over until the 21st inst.
The jury which has been selected
to try Jones has been notified that the
change would be made.
Jones keeps up his bold front and
serenely expects to be cleared J. H.
Mansfield, Sheriff of San Mateo Coun-
ty, is of the opinion that the prison
er's only chance rests in his ability to
prove that he is man of good char
acter. There has not been single
witness says Mansfield, called by
Jones that has proved of benefit to
him. They have invariably frightened
the tolls about him.
The county officials. represented by
District Attorney J. J. Bullock, believe
they can destroy every particle OF evil
dence that the prisoner is to offer.

Marry and Live Long.

Marriage is an institution highly
conducive to the health Of both hus-
band and wife. Statistics prove
that among married men over TWEEN
ty years of age and women over
forty the mortality rate is far less
than among those who remain sin
gle. Among the widowed and di-
vorced the mortality is exceptionally
great. Suicides among the unmar-
ried are much more numerous than
among the married. The matri-
monial state promotes temperance
in every form. Furthermore, the
probable duration Of life of mar
ried man of thirty exceeds that OF
his unmarried brother by five years,
and the wife may expect to live ono
year longer than single woman OF
the same age.-American Medicine.

His Famous Shot.

A sporting gentleman, who had
the reputation Of being very bad
shot, invited some of his friends to
dine with him.
Before dinner he showed them a
target painted on a barn door, with
bullet right in the bullseye.
This he claimed to have shot at
1000 yards distance.
AS nobody believed him he Of
fered to bet the price of an oyster
supper on it. On one of his guests
accepting the wager he produced
two witnesses whose veracity could
not be doubted to prove his asser-
ton.
Since they both stated that he
had done what he claimed he won
his bet.
During dinner the loser Of the
wager inquired how the host had
managed to fire such an excellent
shot.
"The host answered:
"Well, I shot the bullet at the
door at a distance of 1000 yards,
and then 1 painted the target round
it."-Pearson's Weekly.

IN. HIGH ATTITUDES.
When Water Roils, but viii Not Cook
Potatoes.

potatoes.
Water boils at different temper
atures, according to the altitude Of
the land, and when the boiling point
is less than 21S degrees F. the water
will not cook some vegetables prop
erly.
An illustration Of this fact was
afforded to some travellers who as
cended the Andes. At a point which
was something like $4,000 feet
above the sea level they decided to
cook some vegetables, including po-
tatoes. The water boiled well
enough, but the potatoes did not
cook. How was it?
At that altitude the atmospheric
pressure is different, andehus water
is enabled to boil at a lower temper
allure than 11S degrees. How much
lower it was they unfortunately did
not determine, but they had prac-
teal proof of the fact that the pota-
toes required temperature nearer
to 212 degrees than they could get
before they would boil.
In order to increase the temper
allure at which the water would boil
they should have added more salt.
Brine boils at a higher point than
plain water, so by adding salt they
could gradually have increased the
heat till it arrived within the neigh
borhood of 212 degrees, and the po-
tatoes would have been cooked. But
In that case they would probably
have been so salt that they would
not have been very enjoyable.
Many other curious effects are to
be noted in such attitudes. Some
kinds of sugar are useless for con-
sumption up there. The difference
in the surroundings renders them
insoluble or otherwise worthless to
human beings.
The fact that people suffer from
bleeding at the nose is attributable
to the difference in atmospheric
pressure, for, as one man put it in
homely fashion, "there is not
enough outside force to keep things
in their places"

Big Excursion to Atlanta
-~@
The Atlanta, Birmingham & At
lantic Expects to Run the
Largest of the Season
August 3Oth.

Every ARA ugement has been
completed for the coming annual
excursion of the Atlanta, Birm.
ingbam and Atlantic Railroad to
Atlanta, which this year will be
held August 3Oth. These annual
excursions have come to be mat
ters of the greatest Importance
to the Gate City, as they bring
visitors, shoppers and buyers
from all parts of South Georgia.
Genenal Passenger Agent Nc.
Fadden, in speaking of the ex.
cursion, said that arrangements
we're being made to accommodate
at least 1,5OO people, and all in.
dications pointed to quite that
mum Der of visitors for this year.
The Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic traverses one of the
richest sections of the State, and
the very best people of this Sec
tiQp avail themselves of the OPP
portunities offered in these an
nual excursions. This means
that the good Georgians of Bruins
wick, Waycross, Douglas, Thorn
asville, Moultrie, Triton, Corde1e,
Ocilla, Fitzgerald and Vienna
and intermediate stations will be
among those who will come to
Atlanta on August 30th, and they
are. sureto find the warmest kind
Of a welcome awaiting them.
Each year finds the number of
Georgians who come to Atlanta
for the making of selections in
the way of purchases which cam
not be improved upon this side of
New York, increasing rapidly.
In fact, the railroad officials state
the Atlanta is becoming look
ed upon as the New York of the
entire South, and those who for
merly went to New York insist
that they can now secure exactly
the same advantages in the Gate
City. This excursion will be OPP
Grated in connection with the
Central of Georgia Railway via
Oglethorpe. The Atlanta, Birm-
ingham and Atlantic expects to
run it's 1907 excursion from
South Georgia into Atlanta over
its own rails. Atlanta Constitu-
