The Indecent Ostrich.

"Ohl My soul and body. Just look
there!'
A girl in a white dress and peek-a-
boo waist, who had been walking along
the path toward the ostrich house in
the New York Geological park, stopped
suddenly, peered through the shrub
berry, blushed and turned back She
seized the arm of the young man with
her, and led him back. "Don't look, -
she begged.
An old woman who had been walking
just behind glanced toward the ostrich
yard and gasped. "Well, never! /"
she exclaimed, and she seized the arm
Of her white -whiskered husband and
turned him back. too. Its bad
enough in the vaudeville" she cried.
What the woman had seen startled
many others. Closer inspection would
have convinced them that it was not a

legs that was pacing up and down un-
der the tree In the ostrich yard.

road Is Said to Be Successful.

AS~~ 40 No1o w Aoo ouSNocol u1.
The Great Western railway has sue
cessfully experimental with and Just
installed on branch line a method of
audible signalling as substitute for
the familiar semaphore system which
it is believed, will be entirely displaced
in course of time.
The new system is electrically worked
and is declared to be simplicity itself
The engine as it travels along the line
comes into contact with an apparatus,
fixed to the track, which is worked from
the signal box, and sets in motion n
form of mechanism on the engine. In
stead of the engineer having to look
out for his signals, they declare them"
selves to his ear unmistakably. Cline
clear is expressed by tho blowing of
n whistle, which continues until the
engineer with his own hand turns It off.
Both hell and whistle are fixed In
side the engine cab, close by the engi-
neer as he stands to his lever, and
should afford more telling means Of
notification than a dial on which signs
appear. The substitution of audible FOR
visible signals would relieve engineers
of the strain of perpetually looking out
for any particular signal or lamp.
The apparatus is SO constructed that
if anything went wrong anywhere the
whistle signal would operate. The chief
value of the audible signals would be
found in foggy weather, and the new
system is, therefore, Of particular i'm
portance in country so fog afflicted as

According to the American Magazine,
Prof. James OF Harvard cites the case OF
an Ohio dipsomaniac who cut his hand
off for drink.

TELEGRAPHERS PLAN
INSURANCE SOCIETY
THEORY is OLD COMPANIES LOSE
CONFIDENCE
Plan Is to Make Union Members
Withdraw From older Body
and Give Their Allegiance to the
New Organization
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, May S.-That a
movement is under way for the organ
ization of a life insurance company for
the benefit of union labor, developed
during the discussion of the subject of
insurance in the convention of the
Commercial Telegraphers union of
America here today.
The matter is still under investiga-
tion and it has been left to the teleg-
raphers to look into the matter thor
oughly and later report to President
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor.
1t was asserted during the discussion
that the old companies were fast los
ing the confidence of the public, the
recent revelations having turned away
many who would be firm supporters of
the old companies.
1t was announced that all the mem
bers of the labor unions In America
would soon be asked to withdraw from
the old companies and to give their
money and their support exclusively
to amalgamate all the labor insurance
moneys into one huge fu.d, securing
protection to all.
The subject has already been pre-
sented to a number of other labor or
ganizations and seriously considered by
them.

IRON WORKERS LIKELY
TO PRECIPITATE STRIKE
CHICAGO FACES TIE.UP OF THE
BUILDING INDUSTRY
Union Men Ignore Their International
Presidents Warning and Stand by
Demands - Contractors Equally
Stubborn
BY Associated Press.

Dy ASSoCldIeo ETeSS.
CHICAGO, May S-A long, bitter
strike involving probably all of the
building trades unions seems inevitable
in the building industry as a result of
the attitude shown by the structural
iron workers at their special meeting
to consider the arbitration proposal of
the contractors. The men voted to
stand firmly for their full demands.
Frank M. Ryan, international presi-
dent of the iron works union, came
from st. Louis to attend the meeting
and to warn the iron workers that the
organization is involved in a dozen
other strikes throughout the country.
He talked for two hours before the
strikers. but at the end of the meeting
was forced to admit that the sentiment
was too strong against peace.
1.-THE situation is extremely serious
and has many of the earmarks of an
other great conflict in the building in
dustry like that of 1900," he said. 1.-THE
iron workers are determined to have S.
a day. They will not accept compro-
mise"
Equal determination was shown by
the contractors who met at the cham
Der of commerce.
1t developed that the American Bridge
company, backed by the United States
Steel corporation, has entered the fight.
Employers also began active prepara-
tions to conduct fight against the
iron molders' union which has decreed
strike against the large foundries. A
national convention of foundrymen
will be held here Saturday.

BOYCOTT SCHEME
IS FAST WANIN c
RESULT Is NOT WHAT WAS
EXPECTED OF IT
Friction With Standard OIL Company
Agents In China Contributes to
Decrease In American
Imports
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PEKING, May S.-The statement to
the effect that there is apprehension in
the United States that the boycott of
American goods is growing has caused
surprise here.
All the Information obtainable shows
that the movement is waning.
The Chinese imports were 77,000,0 900
taels, compared with 29,0O0,OO0 in 1904.
1t appears that the importers made
enormous speculative purchases early
in the year. chiefly in anticipation of
war demands, and a decrease in the
imports would be natural under the
circumstances. The report says that
the result of the boycott is not what
had been expected. Much suspicion
and hostility were created, but the gem
eral verdict is that not much injury
has been done to American manufac-
turers or merchants. The final effect
judged until the close of another year
or even later. Only the immediate re-
suits are visible.
In consequence of the climatic, war
and boycott conditions there is a larger
proportion of imports than usual left
in such hands. The imports of Amer
lean cotton increased from 3,70O, 600
to 12,566,000 pieces and flour about the
same in 1904, but the Australian trade
Is growing. The market for oil de-
creased 3,419, 900 gallons from the i'm
mense imports of 1904.
The failure of the Russian supply
negatived the boycott.
Consul General Lay at Canton re-
ports that American imports into
southern China during the last hall
of 1905 decreased $1,2500oO oil decreas-
ing so per cent. The friction between
the Standard Oil companys agents and
officials and merchants at several ports
probably contributed to this decrease.
