ELK TEETH
 AS EMBI,EMS

.sutte, Mont, April 24.-Ine Butte lodge of Elks is in receipt of a letter from Grand Exalted Ruler Melvin, enclosing a copy of a let ter from President Roosevelt rela- tive to the reported destruction of elk by men gathering elk teeth President Roosevelt says that it has been reported to him that many elk have been slaughtered for no other purpose than to obtain their teeth. He expresses the hope that che lC.tge of Elks will take meas ;i.5es to discourage the use of elk teeth as emblems of membership and as ornaments.
 Grand Exalted Ruler Melvin has taken the matter up with the order throughout the country and is urg- ing the discOntinuance of the use of the teeth. Many lodges have already taken action and the Butte lodge has adopted a resolution de- claring against continuance of the use oI the teeth.
 For several years hunters in the West have been making collections of elk teeth and holding them for an advance in prices because of the growing scarcity. One man at Bill ings has a collection of many thou- sands. The declaration of Elk lodges against their continued use will likely cause a severe drop in market prices.

New York August S.-That the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad company has not earned its dividend for the six months, ending June 30, was shown by the companys statement is- sued today. The sum earned and avail able for the dividend, after all charges for the half year, was $2,947,S61, while the sum required for the semi-annual disbursement to stockholders at per cent is s5,S5s, 96O, or $2,n1,59 more than was earned.

OUTLETS HFARMS.
On the British Coast the Creatures Are
 .-pt for "MiIklna."

From Popular Science Siftings.
 It is not generally known that cut tlefish are cultivated on some farms in order to be "milked." These cut tlefsh farms are located on parts of the British hcoast, and the cuttlefisn are kept in tanks or ponds to be "miked" of their ink.
 The pond or tank is connected with the sea by a pipe, and thousand or more cuttles are kept in single one. They form a most curious sight as they move about, trailing their long arms and staring out of their bulging eyes.
 They are guarded by screens, which prevent them from being scared. For if they are suddenly frightened they will squirt their milk" into the water, and 1t would, therefore, be lost. This fluid or milk is very valuable, and each cutie will yield about 15s worth a year. It is secreted in a bag which can be opened and closed at will, the cuttle ejecting the fluid to darken tho water so that it may escape unseen when attacked. The best cuttleffsh are procured in China, where for some reason or other they produce the best quality of milk"
 When the farmer considers 1t oppor- tune to milk the cuttles, he proceeds by opening the sluices of the pond and gently agitating the water. The cut ties then swim around the pond and as soon as one passes through the sluice b closed. The cutie passes down a small channel into basin or

 move at Chicago was not wholly sur prise to the members of the telegraphers' union here. They had received an inti- nation that the trouble at Los Angeles was likely to involve men working in the offices of the company in other cities, and developments of the last two days had not appeared to be favorable to friendly settlement of the dispute on the coast. No official statement was made tonight by representatives of the union. Whether the New York offices will be drawn into the strike, as was the Chicago office, no one would venture prediction It was pointed out, however, that the same point raised in Chicago woudl naturally arise here.
 Something definite on the situation is expected to develop early tomorrow when business between this city and Chicago Is resumed.
 1t is said to be possible the men here would refuse immediately to work New York Chicago wires if non-union men worked in Chicago. Word from President Small of the operators union, who is in San Francisco. is expected.

Settlement Is Remote.

Los Angeles, August S.-A settlement of the telegraphers' strike appears as remote tonight as during the first hour of the strike. District Superintendent Lamb, representing the company, twice today refused to receive or deal with a committee representing the men who walked out and the latter are firm in their attitude of demanding the rein statement of John E. Ryan, the opera tor whise discharge was indirectly re- sponsible for the strike.
 Superintendent Lamb said tonight
 'I cannot receive committee of strikers representing any discharged employe or his grievances"
 At Il o'clock tomorrow the operators will hold a meeting to consider furthe plans for the opening of negotiations Tonight there are about twenty men at work in the Western Union office.

Strike Continues.

Los Angeles, August S.-The strike of the Western Union telegraph opera tors in this city, which was called last night following the discharge of John Ryan, a union operator, on the ground of deliberately delaying business, con tinued today. According to the men about sixty-flve out of total of seven ty-five are out. The company, however is fairly well supplied with operators and is taking care of all business of- fered.
 Today eighteen operators were at work in the place of the thirty os thirty-hve. Additional operators are being brought as rapidly as possible The company closed all its city branch offices today and brought such opera tors as would come to the main office and put them to work The outside operators were all women. Several joined the strikers. The strike was not ordered by the union officials and is said not to be sanctioned by them
 A meeting of the striking operators was held this afternoon. More than fifty were present. letter to Ryan from Manager Miller was read saying that the men could return to work and consideration would be given to com mittee of the dissatisfied ones.
 It was decided that none of the op- orators would return to work unless Ryan went with them. Steps looking to negotiations with nlanager Miller on this basis were taken.

 "Deplore hasty action, but realise Justification. Will stand behind Los An geles. If the trouble not settled in forty-two hours will go there"
