STRIKE OF THE PRESS MEN
1t Is Against the Advice of Their
Grand observation-disclosures

1t Is Against the Advice OF Their
Grand Secretary-SituatiOn.
Chicago. Aug. 13.-The Associated
Press operators in this city and at
many points on the southern and west
ern circuits of the Associated Press
leased wire system stopped work at
7:30 p. m. yesterday. The north cir
cult, including the offices at st. Paul
Minneapolis, Duluth and Milwaukee.
was not disturbed, none of the opera
tots at those points leaving their work.
On the south indianapolis was left in
full working order. and on the east
the men in Cleveland refused to leave
The suspension was not complete at
New York. as sufficient force remained
loyal to send partial news service
in all directions and this condition was
continually improved.
The strike was made against the
wishes and advice Of Grand Secretary
Russell, of the telegraphers' unicn
who made every effort to keep the
men at work for another twenty -four
hours, or until arrangements had been
made for a conference between Gener-
a! Manager Stone. Of the Associated
Press, and a committee of the opera
tors.

in TOO BIG A HURRY
Associated Press Says the Operators
Want Reply Too Sudden.

New York, Aug. 13.-Melville e..
Stone. general manager of the AssOci-
ated Press, has replied to the requests
cf the telegraphers employed by the
Associated Press. These requests were:
''Day work, six days, eight hours daily,
$40 per week, and overtime and extra
at the rate of 60 cents per hour. Night
work, six nights, eight hours $50 per
week, and overtime and extra at the
rate Of 20 cents per hour. The vaca
tons to remain us at present. A pro
pOrtiOnate increase for chiefs and sub
chief operators" The telegraphers re-
quested reply by 7:3O D. m. yester-
day. Stones reply is dated New York,
Aug. II, 1907, and says:
Il received this morning cOmmuni-
cation from large number of the op-
orators in the service of the Associated
Press asking for a changed scale Of
wages and hours, and requesting a re-
ply by 7:30 o'clock this evening. The
changes involved are so radical in their
nature as to add over 100000 a year,
and probably more, to the expense of
this organization. The Associated Press
is mutual III its character. makes no
profits and has no surplus fund out of
which such sum could be paid. Any
such increase must of necessity be
levied back upon the newspapers as
part of their weekly assessments.
'As general manager l have no pow
er to make such an increase. either in
salaries or assessments, without au-
thOrity from the board of directors.
and it is obviously impossible to call
this board together within the time
named. The board consists of fifteen
members scattered throughout the en-
tire country.
''At the same time, acting under au-
thority heretofore granted me by the
board of directors, I shall be very glad
at any time to meet a committee Of
our own operators and confer with
them respecting hours of service and
compensation with view to making
some recommendation to the next
meeting of the board of directors which
shall meet any fair or just eXpecta
lions of those in our operating service.
even were I free to act think You
must agree with me that question
of this magnitude should not be pressed
to conclusion within the limits of
few hours and without any oppOrtuni-
ty for consultation between myself and
representatives Of our operating force"

HyperboIe.

A Rochester clergyman was accus-
toned to use scientific terms which the
people did not understand. A deputa-
ton waited on him with the request
that in the future whenever he used
such terms he would explain them. On
the following Sunday he used the term
hyperbole and added: "As agreed on,
I beg to explain this word. Were l to
say that at this moment the whole of
my congregation are sound asleep it
would be hyperbole, but if 1 say that
one-half are asleep that is no hyper
bole, but the truth" The next day the
deputation again called to say that the
minister need not explain technical
terms. The people would learn their
meaning from a Observation-Disclosures

The workman wore a steel mask
with glazed eyeholes, a rubber suit,
rubber gloves and rubber boots, and he
carried a pair of tongs of silvery alu-

like that. They must be. Otherwise
they would be smeared with chemicals

''They are for lifting the gun cotton

is the only metal upon which the nitric
acid has no effect"
He turned to the workman.

STRIKING a Fish.

The secret of striking fish, espe-
cially a trout, which bites quickly,
whether in brook, river or lake, is to
give sharp upturn of the wrist. This
will move the rod or bait only two or
ttAee inches and will not jerk it from
the water. If you miss the fish will
follow the few inches, not being fright
ened, and in the majority Of cases will
be hooked at once. The quick jerking
of the halt from the water almost in
variably scares a trout-result, dark
streak disappearing down the stream.

If Glasses Get Stuck.

When two glasses get stuck, one in
side the other, an unfailing remedy for
separating them is to plunge them up
right into some hot water for quarter
of a minute or thereabouts. Care must
be taken that no water gets into either
glass. The explanation is that the heat
expands the outer glass before it has
time to penetrate and expand the one
inside.

The Limit Of Life

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation Of hu-

ment possible with the advanced knowl-
edge of which the race is now possessed.
The critical period, that determines its
duration, seems to be between so and 60;
the proper care of the body during this
decade cannot be too strongly urged;
