it was declared that unless the twenty-five
boss BARRIERS, whose union cards were
taken from them on Thanksgiving day ap-
ply for return of those cards and pay 81
each, the union journeymen were directed
to lay down their razors and walk out to-
day.
1t is said that but few of the workmen
went on strike today, preferring to wait
until after action is taken at a meeting
of their union. which will be held, this even
ing at their hall on Pennsylvania avenue
between 9th and 10th Streets - ~, -
1t is declared that the boss BARRIERS who
required their men to work on Thanksgiv-
ing day in violation of the rules of the
union are the only ones affected and many
of them say that they will not apply for
a renewal of their cards. The journeymen
are equally insistent and some inconveni-
ence Is likely to result for both parties un-
less an amicable adjustment is made

"Wednesday on suspicion of being impli-
Gated IN the big jewellery steal in Salt

they had nothing to do with the robbery.
They were peddling watches around the

anywhere from $50 to SIS, and pleading a
hard up story. and compelled to sell to
raise little money TO get to some east

posing of two or three of these watches
to some of our citizens. After they were
arrested they had some of these watches
on their persons, and after an examina-
ton they were found to be Just cheap af-
fairs, worth probably $3.50. It was thought
that maybe they were in some way con-
nected with the jewellery robbery, but
after a thorough investigation they were
permitted to go and were given a short
time to get out of town.

STICKNEY AND THE TAILOR
How Railroad Man Was Discouraged
In Quest for Fashionable Clothes.

A 3. Stickney, the president of the
Chicago Great Western railway, does not
answer the popular description of a rail-
way magnate in his personal appearance.
says the Washington Post. He looks
more like well to do farmer off on a
holiday than a mutimilli0naire. A friend
of Mr.. Stickney related this story and
voJehed for its accuracy:
Mr.. Stickney is VIGOROUSLY careless in
his dress, TO the great annoyance of his
wife and family.
When he was starting east recently
Mrs Stickney got after him and made
him promise to go to a first-class tailor
upon his arrival in New York and order
a complete wardrobe of clothes.
As I was leaving the Waldorf said
Stickney to me in relating the incident
the morning after my arrival I remem-
bered the promise I Lad made to my wife
about getting some clothes, so I dropped
in the first place / came to. 1t was on
Fifth avenue and seemed to be a pretty
swell establishment.
Il walked about examining different
pieces Of cloth, trying to make up nv
mind what 1 would select
Presently very distinguished look
ing individual approached. In very con-
descending tone he asked me what I
wished was little taken aback but
meekiy Informed him that had thought
of getting some clothes. MY friend.
was the reply of the naughty parsonage
Il THINK you are in the wrong shop we
are too high priced for you. Doubtless
you can find what you want over on Sixth
avenue.
'aIr Stickuey thanked the IordIv tailor
and left. He said that 1t was the first
and only time he had ever attempted to
order clothes of a fashionable New York
tailor VI
Mr., stickney's wealth is estimated; in the
neighborhood of $40, 10000.
