KING EDWARD

King Edward for 1t is now openly ad-
mitted that his Maiesty's health gives
reason for grave concern and that he
will have to spend considerable part
of the summer on the Island of
Wight, where he owns small and
very unpretentious estate, Barton
Manor, near Cowes.
The visit OF the King to the Scan
dinavian countries, where the wealth
er was very wintry and raw, Offset all
the benefit he had derived from his
stay at sunny Biarritz and 1t will take
some time before he will recover.
Decorators are now busy fitting up
the Kings apartments at Barton
Manor under the direction of his
Majesty's sister, Princess Louise,
Duchess Of Argyll.
The king and queen will stay at
the Manor during Cowes week and
Queen alexandria will then probably
leave for her new bungalow where
she will stay until she again gees to
Denmark to spend rev months with
her sister, the Dowager Empress of
Russia at Hivideoere Castle between
Copenhagen and Elsinore.
King Edward will stay at Barton
Manor indefinitely and will have to
lead very simple life his physicians
having forbidden him to drink wine
with exception of very light white
Berglndy and cut down his cigars to
three day. AT first they Insisted
that the King stop smoking altogeth-
er but this he positively refused to
do.

BY a Member Of the City coun.
Gil Of. a Bitter Per-
sOnal Nature.
BUT IS NOT SUCCESSFUL
As the Council Decides TO Sc
cure His Services to Revise
and Codify Ordinances.

Not devoid Of a sensation or two
was the session of the city council
Friday night, although at first 1t
dragged and seemed llfeless to the
ordinary spectator.
One OF the sensations OF the eve
ming was the personal attack made
upon Charles w. Moore, attorney,
who had submitted a proposition in
writing to revise and codify the city
ordinances at a COMPENSATION to be
fixed by the city attorney with the
approval OF the council
4 No sooner had the proposition been
read than Mr.. Johnson exerted him
self to defeat It's acceptance. nor did
he hesitate at anything to do so. A
motion was made that the PROPOSE
tion be accepted. MIR. johnson valnly
attempted to have It laid on the ta-
Bile. Next he moved to substitute the
names of the city attorney and the
clerk in the motion. This was ruled
out of order by the mayor. Then
Mr.. johnson moved that the city at
torrey and clerk be employed to do
the work at a compensation to be
fixed by the council. This was voted
down. Next, he made motion to
include the city clerk, in the PROPOSE
ton. This was quickly accepted and
the amendment carried by unanimous
vote, but, when 1t went back to the
oignlnal proposition as amended, Mr..
Johnson explained that he would vote
for 1t, but wanted to be understood
as not voting for Mr.. Moore. The
motion as amended carried and Mr..
Moore and Clerk Cole will revise and
coiify the ordinances of the city.
In the discussion of his motions
and amendments, Mr.. johnson chag-
Cd, Mr.. Moore with incompetency and
reflected upon him in other ways
and finally stated that 1t was merely
to reward man for dirty work done
in the election.
Another sensation was the revela-
ton that Mr.. Johnson as chairman
OF the finance committee was defeated
in his efforts to further block the
payment OF bills against the city. Up
on motion by Mr.. Connell all bills
were ordered paid, which had been
approved by the heads of various de-
partments, thus taking the matter
out of the hands of the finance com
mittee altogether The plan was not
to pay these bills until after they as
certalned whether there would be any
thing left after running the city for
the year,
In this connection It is not amiss
to state that the new administration
has been collecting last years taxes
the scheme was not to apply that
money on last and previous years
debts, but to use It for this years
work. However, 1t failed to work,
and the bills are to be paid.
There was also a disappointing
matter to a number no doubt, who
never gather at the city home ex-
cept, when there is an idea some
thing is to be done on the license
question. No sooner had the council
convened as a license court, than a
motion carried to adjourn the same
one week. and all was over for the
time being.

SUMMER RUN
. AN UNNISE one
And Talk of Such is Already
Hurting the Market
Price Of Glass.

Trade affairs presented no new
features in the window glass void
during the past week. Business Is
quiet in nearly every section of the
country, says the Commoner and
GIassworker, Of Plttsburg, although
the improved weather conditions had
q slightly stimulation effect. Factory
operations are being conducted about
as usual. There is~some talk In cer-
tain quarters OF operating hand plants
during the summer months, but Il
is not thought this movement will
meet with general acclaim among
either workers or manufacturers.
In view of the present state of af-
fairs in the window glass business 1t
would hardly be a wise move to con-
tinue putting glass on the market af-
ter the termination of what has al
ways been considered the regular
stopping time, June 80. The factor
les now operating will be amply able
to take care OF all demands that may
be made upon them and the talk of
continuing operations during the
summer is having detrimental ef-
feet upon the market.
Members of the Western Window
Glass Jobbers' Association held q
meeting in Chicago last Friday. as
scheduled, and decided that 1t was
necessary to revise discounts in order
to meet present trade and business
conditions In the majority Of in
stances quiet business was reported
The attendance was very fair Com
siderable routine business was trans
acted prior to adjournment.

In the Street Car Strike and
Riot at Cleveland,
Ohio.
TWO THOUSAND ARE OUT
Company Tries to Run in Non
Union Men for the
Regular Men.

CLEVELAND, o., May f6-At
meetings last night the members Of
the local union OF the Amalgamated
Association Of Street and Electrical
railway employees, voted almost un-
animously to strike at O'Clock this
morning. cleYeland's street car sys-
tenn is now tied up. About two thou
sand men are out.
There was considerable disturbance
early In the day when the Municipal
Traction Company officials cent out
cars manned by old men who did not
strike or who were recently hired.
On many lines no attempt to run cars
was made.
The leaders OF the street car mems
union claim the strike was ordered
because the company was forcing un-
ion men out OF the service. and re-
placing them with others, while ne
gotiations were under way. looking
TO an arbitration Of the differences
between the employees and the COM
pany.
The rioting increased as the day
progressed. Cars were stopped in all
sections Of the city by the strikers
and their friends. Stones were hurl-
ed through car windows and rotten
eggs thrown at the motormen and
Conductors
In some Instances the police used
clubs freely Many were hurt, but
not seriously. For the most part the
people walked to their places of bust
ness. Ift.
