Four Hundred Strike Breakers Join
 Ranks From White Star Pier.
 NEW YORK, May 1S.-The striking longshoremen made something of gain when 400 strike breakers quit work on the piers of the White Star line and joined their fortunes with those of the men whose places they had taken. The steamship company was left with only its crews to do the work of unloading and loading the cargoes. One steyedore contractor in Brooklyn made terms with the strik- CTS. granting the concessions sought.
 Fifty striking longshoremen worked bravely last night to check fire that destroyed a big steamship pier on the North river, near the foot of Canal street. The pier of the Morgan Steam ship line, which is part of the South ern Pacific railroad system, was burn- ed, causing a loss of $500,000, and there was great danger of the fire spreading to the piers occupied by the Savannah Steamship line.
 The other development of impor- tance was the accidental shooting of Harry Marshall, a vegetable peddler, in Hoboken, N. J., who was fatally wounded by stray bullet from the re- volver of Benjamin Vincent, said to be private detective employed on the docks and who had been attacked by strikers. The row started in saloon and was only indirectly connected with the strike.
 Steamers sailing generally carried light cargoes, and the pier sheds where the strike is still in force remained we'll filled with delayed freight Nei- ther side shows any signs of weaken ing.

30 cents a bushel; horses worth $150 pay $30 a head and twenty-five per cent of their value above that figure. These are among the im- ports which are heavily protected. There is no export tax.
 W. G. S.-Please print recipe for cleaning white straw hats.
 A.-Stuff crown with tissue paper, brush thoroughly, and while cleaning handle as delicately as possible. Rub hard all over the straw with thick slices of lemon; then wipe pulp off with sponge dipped in warm water; don't have sponge soaking wet. Af- ter this rinse and clean sponge well, then dip it into solution of warm water and ammonia and wipe the l hat thoroughly once more. Put the hat on a flat surface in the sun to dry, adding few light weights to keep the brim fiat. When nearly dry press them into the desired shape. 1 A. B. C.-When was the negro first introduced into the south? CD What were the casualties among generals of both armies during the civil war?
 A.-The first negro slave was brought to this country in 1619, at Jamestown, Va. (2) 1 cannot name generals who lost their lives in bat tie. In modern warfare command ing officers do not, for good reasons, occupy positions on the firing line, where the view would be obscured. Casualties were therefore due main- ly to the enterprise of sharpshooters or bursting shells. The number was small, being largest on the con- federate side.
 J. H. H.-How many and which states do not inflict the death penA atty? CD How do their statistics as to homicides compare with those that do inflict the death penalty? (3) What are the special marks of distinction in Jersey cattle? Do they all have horns?
 A.-The states in which the death penalty is forbidden by law are Col orado, Rhode Island, Maine, Michi- gan and Wisconsin. CD I have no statistics, but do not suppose the diff ference in penalty has any effect. (3) They are remarkable for their small size and symmetry and for the quantity and quality of the milk which they yield. They are usually of a light brown color, sometimes with white markings. They, have horns.
 G. R. B.-While General U. S. Grant was fighting in the civil war did he own slaves, and did he keep them after the presidents proclama- tion free the slaves? CD Did his wife say that if he could have got a po- sition with the confederacy he would have been on that side? (3) What is the negro vote north of Mason & Dixon's line? I would like to have the figures by states
 A.-General Grant never lived in a slave state so far as I know, and never previous to the war had enough money to buy slave. Therefore 1t is reasonable to suppose that he was never a slave owner. (2) Such a suggestion is quite too absurd. (3) l do not know where any figures are obtainable which would show how many votes were cast by negroes.

Equal parts of lemon juice. glycerin and rose water may be applied several times a day. Freckles of the permanent variety can De removed only by removing the skin. This last is not so serious an operation as might be thought.
