 The strike affected the well-to- do more than the tenement people, who buy their supply from men who peddle it from push carts or go to the docks and get it. Some of the East Siders got the idea yesterday that the peddlers were giving too small pieces and sent their child ren to the docks with toy carts and baby carriages to buy ice and haul the family supply home. Apart ment houses were in many cases left without ice and many a house. holder had to appeal to the grocer.
 The men who are on strike, about 600 in number, were employed by the American Ice Company, which controls tn ice business in Now York and vicinity. The refusal of the company to discharge some of the men, at the demands of the union. it is stated, caused the strike.

UNREST IN THE CHURCHES.

The Fort Smith Times thinks there are signs of unrest in the denomina- tional churches. Some will call them mere sporadic and personal and indi- eating in no way general idea cf failure and repression.
 What is the truth we do not at tempt to say. No man can say with authority, but the frequent efforts of pastors to break from an environment which to them seems not to represent the true mission of the church and the ministry lead one to think there is a spirit of unrest and dissatisfaction with present conditions. The Graphic does not look upon these as an evi- dence that the churches as organized and conducted and the religion as taught are failures but as evidence of life and progress. Nothing, not even religious thought, can stand still in the world-in that as in everything 70 stand still is to go backwards.
 Two simultaneous utterances of thE cry of unrest, one from St. Louis by Rev. Dr. Goodson, of the Presbyterian church, and one by Rev. Dr. Ecob. oi the Unitarian church, of Philadelphia on Sunday last, by their conjunction and nearly parallel line of thought ant the prominence given them in the pub lie press, make them food for thought
 Among other things Dr. Goodsor said:
 "The church is a failure. Whatever may be said in regard to the great work of the church, which has beer mighty in the making Of our splendid civilization, and without which there would be no social foundation and life it must be admitted that the church of today and in the past is failure.
 More ministers die every year thar enter the-ministry,' he declared. Re

FILLING UP THE RANKS
Some Marine Recruiting Offices in

Word has been received at the local
marine recruiting Office in the post
Office building that several of the ma
rine corps Offices in this state will at
once be closed, The reason for this
is that fewer men are needed. as the
marine ranks are practically filled up.
The prospective increase of pay is
causing men to re-enlist as rapidly as
they are discharged. and for this rea-
son fewer new men are needed.
The marine corps is the best branch
of Uncle Sans. service and only the
most desirable men are ever enlisted.
1t is composed of about 5000 men
who see service i'll all parts of the
world, hence an enlistment in the ma
rines is an education in itself. Out
of a total of II applicants examined
here in the last week, six were ac
cepted, eight being rejected for vari
Gus reasons. The local office will be
kept open for some time longer.

ment and accessories are all up to the

ture of thd engagement of Walker
Whiteside at the Illinois tonight will
be the appearance in his support of
that clever English actor Leslie Ken

cards are sources OF wonderment to
even the doughtiest professionals.
"What Happened TO Jones."-It is
rarely this celebrated farce plays a
town that some queer occurrence does
not take place owing to its peculiar
title and the fact that so many people
bear the name of Jones" Some
short time ago, in Ohio. where the
company was to appear, a grocer by
the name of Jones was accused of
stealing his neighbours pig. A new
man had recently been attached to the
| bill posting staff there and as a starter
| he was sent down to Jones store to
hang up posters in the window. Not
| dreaming why he was sent to that par
ticular store he went forth joyfully on
his new vocation Friend Jones
was back in his store when he dis
covered the young mans hanging up
| the paper. He called to him and
asked what he was doing. Hanging
up show bills" was the reply. What
show?" asked the grocer, What Hap
pened to Jones'" said the boy. and
