Fine Desert Bred Mares and Stallions
 Imported by Homer Davenport.
 Twenty-Saven Arabian horses - ten mares and seventeen stallions-were recently landed at New York from the Anchor line steamship Italia. They have been on the way from Aleppo, Syria, since Aug. A. This importation is said to be the largest of the kind ever made and Is the result of the only trade ever issued to an American, says the New York World.
 Homer Davenport negotiated the pur- chase. The animals, he says, represent the only strictly desert bred thorough breds ever brought to the United States and, according to the sheik of the Aneza tribe, the only "chuby," or horses, the Aneza would breed from that ever left the desert.
 In the stud are represented all of the Khamsa, or five great strains of desert blood Besides these there are in the desert sixteen other breeds whose blood is held equal to the Khamsa. The pedi- grees of these animals are preserved by the sheiks in tonnes of parchment stretching back through centuries, the records having been harded from sire to son. a 'fs@
 Some of the animals were gifts to Mir. Davenport. Among them is a mare from Hasham Bey. the sheik of all sheiks and governor of Aneza. A brown stallion. five years old, bred by the Gomusa tribe of the Saba Aneza, is present from the governor of Alep- DO. wh6 also gave Davenport a bay tattooed on the under lip, beauty mark given to women of the tribe.
 A bay mare captured in war by the Aneza from the shamar more than two years ago is presented by the Achmet Haffez. This animal has the rarest head of any of the Aneza tribe, and she was looked upon as the f1eetest of its horses.
 The horses have been shipped to Mir. Dayenport's farm at Morris Plains, N. J., the government, as In all such cases of certified stock, waiying the quaran- tine.

PLUMBERS TO
PLAN STRIKE.
Say They Have Not Heard from
the Bosses Regarding In
crease in Wages.

An important meeting of the
United Association of Plumbers and
Steamftters' Union, Local No. 270.
was held in the mo rooms i'm the
Adelaide building, last night. 1t is
understood that the members talked
over the wage scale system and, as no
word was received from the bosses it
was decided to hold a special meet
ing Monday night, and if nothing is
forthcoming by that time the men
may complete plans for going out on
strike.
The plumbers and steamfitters, as
told in the NEWS, have sent a re-
quest to the bosses that they would
want an increase of wages commence
ing May 1 and while nearly all other
unions in this city have received some
sort of a reply from the bosses, the
plumbers have received none and
they do not know what to think about
the matter.
At the present time the plumbers
receive So so per day for eight hours
and the demands are for 81 a day for
the same number of hours.
A NEWS reporter talked to sever
al plumbers and steamfitters this
morning, and they all confirmed the
report that so far no word of any
sort had been received from the
bosses. They refused to say what
they thought the outcome would be.
The matter of donating money for
the San Francisco fund, it is under
stood, was not taken up as the union
had a number of other things to look
after, but it may be considered at the
special meeting Monday.

MITCHELL SAYS He
is NOT To BLAME.
Also Asserts that Miners Pre- MOI
Responsible for the Rise in Price
of Coal.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. Apr. 25:-
President John Mitchell, of the Mine
Workers Union, arrived here this af-
ternoon and held a conference with
the three district presidents, Nichols,
Dettry and Fahey. He said that he
could not say whether an attempt
would be made to continue the nego-
tiations with the operators or wheth-
err the committee would decide to re-
fer the whole matter to a convention
of mine workers. Replying to the
statement of the operators published
this morning that he is delaying a
decision, Mitchell said:
1T is not l who am responsible for
any delay. / wrote them on Dec. 16
asking for a meeting any time be-
tween that date and Jan. Il, when l

ton ow mine workers, but they were

AS citizens of a sister city, We owe

A Higher Ground.
But there is higher ground than
these. The divine command, implant-
ed in our nature, as well as contained
in His Book, says Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as theyself.' And one
who learns from and interprets that
book says, Whose hath this worlds
goods, and seeth his brother hath
need, and shutteth up his compassion
from him, how dwelleth the love of
God in him?'
Let no one say it is enough. The
nd is not yet. Do not give through
2ntimentality. 1t is a question of
!uty. All creeds can join. Even
gnostics and socialists included. But
or Christians and believers in God
is duty. Let all accept it as such,

said, the suspension is complete
Neither the miners nor the operators
have lost anything by it," he said.
Had the agreement not ended there
would not have been so much coal
mined so the work that might have
been done this month was done last
year. There is no excuse for the rails
ing of the price of coal. 1t was mined
on the basis of the scale fixed by the
strike commission, and the mine
workers are in no way TO blame for
the advanced prices

Johan Jensen Interested.

Johan Jensen said he is interested
TO the extent of 1,4O0 feet of land,
and he is in favor of the gully route,
because he thinks it would be to the
property owners benefit, and he be-
lieves the cost in the gully would be
so per cent less and the efficiency 100
per cent. greater.
John l.. Mundy said that the best
way would be to secure estimates as
to the cost of either route, as the
cheaper is the better.
A. Overgaard said that he could
not see how anyone except Pardee
would be benefited by having the
sewer in the gully, and that that
would mean another assessment in a
few years for a sewer in Sheridan
street. G.. Anderson repeated that
the two sewers would cost more than
to build the sewer in Sheridan street
now.
No further remarks were vouchsaf-
ed except an inquiry from Mr.. Over
gard as to whether an ordinance for
the sewer had ever been passed. AL
derman-at-Large Pfeiffer replied in
the negative and the hearing was ad-
journed.
