NEW PHONE EXCHANGE.
Plans of the Chesapeake and Potomac
Company.

The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company has completed plans in detail for
the erection of a new exchange, to be
known as "Cleveland,' to serve the terri
tory north and west of Rock creek. This
territory is now reached through the west
and the Chevy Chase" exchanges, with
the assistance of small exchange at Ten
levtown. The new board will have about
one thousand lines, and it is expected to
have it in running order early next year,
perhaps in February or March.
The company owns lot at the corner of
Wisconsin avenue and Warren street and
ultimately expects to put up large eX-
change building there. The lot is 100 feet
by about 100 feet. The structure at present
contemplated is to be located there and is
to be of temporary character. 1t will be
two and a half stories in height and will
be built of cement.
The company is also removing telephone
wire poles along Wisconsin avenue and put
ting the wires underground as rapidly as
pos Sible.

SILK STRIKE CONTINUES.
Operators May Meet to Agree Upon
Some Concessions

SCRANTON, Pa, August 13.-The expect
ed break in the silk mill strike did not come
today. the textile workers organizers pre-
vaiing on the operatives of the Harvey
mills to stay out until a general agreement
is signed.
Many of the girls reported for work, but
were told it would be useless to start up
without d full force and while the condi-
tons remained unsettled. An officer said
the Harvey Mills Company would gladly
but unless all the mills did so it would be
unable to go any further in concessions
than it had already done-a ffty-hour week.
The operators have called another meet
ing the disposition of the Harvey mills to
make concessions having set several of the
mill men thinking, and there is now a be-
lief that they will agree upon something
definite to offer the strikers. About 5000
operatives are on strike.

Second Volley Quells Mob.

second volley proved the determining
factor of the fight. After it had been
fired the spirit of the mob was broken and
the police were able to cope with the
rioters.
The military resumed street duty this
morning, but the weather rainy and
most of the people remained indoors y
renewal of the riots tonight is regarded as
almost certain. Strong measures to cope
with disorders are being taken.
The troops last night displayed great cool
ness So keen were the soldiers that they
returned the fire of the mob repeatedly
with the stones thrown at them before
charging to dispense the rioters.
Cheers for the Troops.
The Protestant crowds loudly cheered the

OPERATORS THERE.

CHICAGO August 13.-When the seven
teen operators employed by the Associated
Press left their keys abruptly at III CLOCK
last night and the receiving operators lett
the typewriters upon which they were
taking the various news messages an
other distinct chapter was added TO the
Chicago strike. 1t Is asserted in some quar-
ters that other leased wire men in news
paper and broker service may quit their
posts today.
Strenuous efforts are being made by the
officials of both companies to handle the
business but with the operators in the out
lying districts refusing to cooperate in for
warding Chicago business. and in many
cases delaying and stopping messages. net
results are meager. The messenger boys
employed by the Postal company walked
out Yesterday and local service is conducted
over telephones to a considerable extent.
Without news from other points In the
world other than that which can dribble in
by mail, telephone or any meager wire serv-
ice, the second city on the continent will
be ptifully on the defensive. So much so,
indeed. that the business interests are ex-
pected to make an appeal to President
Roosevelt If this is done the President is
counted on to assign Commissioner of La
Dor Neill to the task of smoothing over the
gathering difficulties. Mr.. Neill is now in
the town and can be reached at any hour
bv either the union or the companies.

Women Among the Rioters.

Men. women and youths participated with
most dabolical zeal in the stone throwing,
which began about O'Clock and lasted till
long after midnight. For three hours the
soldiers and policemen were subjected to an
almost continuous reimbursement. Repeated
bayonet and baton charges were made, but
they did not seem to terrify the crowds, en-
ragged they were beyond description with
hatred against the soldiers.
The forces of the crown were at times
beaten back to their base. and for a period
it looked if the rioters would succeed
in gaining the upper hand.
1t was only when every effort had been
made and had failed to defeat the attack
ing party that the order to fire was given

fury of the mob. But very speedily they
renewed their labors with greater intensity

BELFAST August 13.-Not since the
terrible riots which convulsed Belfast in
1856 have such wild scenes been enacted
as occurred in the nationalist district
last night.
Investigation this morning placed be-
yond doubt the fact that elaborate ar
rangements had been made for an at
tack upon the forces of the crown.
Throughout the day vast heaps of stones,
bottles and other missiles had been piled
up in handy but inconspicuous localities.
In the small streets emerging from
the main thoroughfares, and in the houses
and yards adjoining, ropes and chains
had been provided, to be stretched across
the thoroyghfares for the tripping up of
the cavalry, whose presence evidently
had been anticipated. 1t would also seem
that arrangements had been made for
the eXtnguishing of the public lamps
and of the house and shop lights, SO that
the residents might be able to narrower
without danger. while the troops. being
strangers to the locality, would be the more
easily OutWitted.

WHY NOT MAKE THE EFFORT?

1t is matter of very great interest
to our merchants that the local pas
senger trains which run into Grenada
should reach here at hours that would
enable the people that live along the
route of the railroads to come to
Grenada and do their shopping and
return that day. The mixed train
that arrives here from Memphis at
11:30 an. should reach here at 10:30
and depart at 2:30 p. m. This would
give four hours between arrival and
departure and would bring great
deal OF business here. The new
schedule recently put into effect on
the Y. s. M. v. road puts tine morn
ing train on that road in here at such
a late hour that little business can be
transacted before its departure. We
believe that If our business men
would make the proper representa-
tions to the controlling officials of the
railroads, that these trains above re-
ferred to, would be run SO as to greatly
benefit our trade. Why not make
the effort?

Entertaining
Neu Year Guests

The game of the five senses, com.
monty called perception" is an ex.
cellent one with which to entertain
grown people or children, or both, at
a New Years party.
One method of arranging the game
is to have table filled with things
to look at. The guests are taken into
the room one or two at a time and
given three minutes to look at the
objects on the table.
When all have seen the objects each
is provided with paper and pencil and
allowed three minutes to write down
a list of all they can remember. The
one who displays the best memory is
given the first prize.
The objects displayed on the table
may be of any number, but for the
few minutes allowed for inspection
35 is a good number. Inkwells, pens;
penholders, tea caddies, emeries,
thimbles, book and any such articles
may be Xhibited-eXcept that when
two of one object are given, such as
two books, the color or some distin-
gushing mark about each should be
insisted upon and called attention to.
This method of playing the game
calls upon but the sense of sight, and
is more easily arranged. than when all

five senses are appealed to. The lat
ter, however, is excellent fun and
gives scope for some originality and
good deal of cleverness.
In this case the guests are led into
the room five distinct times, each
time to smell, taste, hear, see and feel
certain objects.
If there is large party it is best to
offer prize for each of the five tests,
and have them written up after each
one. Some care must be exercised in
the objects selected, especially in the
tasting, when nothing harmful or dis
tasteful should be allowed
For this test, as well as for the
hearing and feeling tests, the guests
are blindfolded or the room left abso-
lutely dark. 1t is not as easy as it
sounds to distinguish various musical
instruments when they are not seen.
A mouth organ, either, mandolin,
guitar and cello or flute-a few notes
of each played in turn-are better
than an organ or piano, which are
more easily distinguished.
For tasting salt, cinnamon, -four,
pulveriZed sugar, oatmeal and allspice
are good, while for feeling bananas,
potatoes, glove filed with bran,
cap, a cane, poker, book and quite a
number of objects are handled, this
and observation being easier and,
therefore, requiring more objects
than the other two tests. The objects
to smell are generally liquids, such as
vinegar, alcohol, turpentine, benZine,
glue, camphOr and cologne. 81
A clever hostess selects appropriate
prizes for each test, such as a puff
box, with a puff within, for touch
ing" vinaigrette or bottle of
cologne for smelling" an ornament
or book for seeing" rabbits foot
whistle or a silver table bell for
hearing" and soft scarf or shawl
or a silk muffler perhaps for feeling"
