Require Troops.

BRIDGEPORT, O., Dec. BY Fri
day or Saturday interesting developments
are expected i'll the strike at the Aetna
Standard mills of the American Sheet
and Tinplate company. Present indica-
lions point either to the diSmantling of
the works or a resumption on a non
union basis.
Following telephone communication
between Gov. Harmon and Gen Speaks,
1t IS reported that the governor directed
the withdrawal Of all the troops unless
the plant management made an effort to
operate the mills. 1t is further reported
that Gen. Speaks was instructed to no
tlfy the company officials that there had
been no serious trouble at the plant
since the arrival of the guardsmen, and
that as long as such conditions CON
tlnued there was no need for the Ma
tional guard.
When the governors attitude was
made known, conference was ar
ranged between the officials, representa-
tives of the strikers, Joseph Bishop of
the Ohio arbitration board and Gen
Speaks.
The strikers asserted that the situa-
ton was more hopeful than at any time
since the Inauguration of the strike, FIVE
months ago. Zero weather prevailed to-
day and had a tendency to keep nearly
everybody away from the troubled dis

Heavily with Insurance Com
pany's Funds.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-An official of
the district attorneys office is authority
for the statement that the amount
George =. Sheldon. deposed president of

Ign, is accused Of stealing is $4,000.
According to this official Sheldon. it
was testified before the grand jury. used
the funds or credit of the insurance com
pany III stock market transactions
through d New York brokerage firm and
pocketed the profits.
The grand jury will now investigate
the connection of others with alleged

report of the insurance department i'm
plicated others.
In the meantime detectives will be sent

and one of $4,000, covering alleged
profits of speculation which Sheldon is
accused of having carried on. Each OF
these drafts is made the subject of Il

pany's affairs in general, but solely to
the part Mr.. Sheldon took in them.

ARABS AT THEIR BATH.
Gathering Place for the Women-Votive
Offerings by the Religious.

DR.. George Martin of the thermal sta
ton of Hammau-Rirha gives all interest
ing account of the Arabs who come i'll
crowds 10 take the baths at that station.
Their number every year can be esti-
mated at more than 10000.
Oh these bathers about tWo-thirdS are
women. Besides the medical effect the
baths are fer the Arab woman a meet
ing place where she encounters her
friends, as they remain Il long time in
the baths, three-quarterS of an hour or
more. They dip themselves III the water
from time to time, then, sitting on the
curb, they chat, laugh and sing.
Sometimes one of them addresses an
invocation to the Sultan Slman (Salo-
min, patron of the springs hidden in the
mountain. The more believing some
times receive their recOmpense in seeing
the steam rise from the waters. After
the bath the native rolls himself i'll his
cloak and lies III the sun.
To quench the burning thirst which
the very warm bath gives Arabs suck
the juice of lemons or oranges or they
go to the 'cafe maure' attached to the
baths to drink tiny cup of coffee. Many
Arabs, instead of coming TO the eStab-
lishment. prefer to take the bath in the
open air. On the side of the hill Il
spring flows from the rock and the ma
tives come to battle i'll the natural basin

To plunge in their small stuff dolls. 1t is
there that the prayer is above all agree
able to Sidi Slman. They sacrifice
fowls to him, they burn incense and
spices in the earthen braziers, and it is
in his honor that the little many colored
wax tapers stuck in the ground burn so
often at night-LondOn Globe.

Hopeful News for the Horse.

There are Interesting reports from the

encouraging tales brought in by manu-
facturerS of those Obsolete vehicles

heard one might almost conclude that the
horse yet stood Il chance of surviving
the onslaught of the motor cars. The
news from the city streets is, indeed ali
the other way; not only quadrupeds but
even bipeds are finding existence Il tough
affair upon our perilous gasoline high
ways. But in the country things are a
trifie different, we gather. For dashing
TO and fro upon errands the automobiles
stand supreme, OF course. But the pleas
ure involved in passing through coun-
tryside at Il speed which permits one to
catch distinct notions of the scenery is a
factor that works steadily in behalf of
