WORKING UNDER AGREEMENT
Chicago Elevated Lines Not Involved
In Threatened Strike.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-If the threatened
strike on the surface street car lines
Of Chicago takes place the public may
still depend on the four elevated lines.
The heads of the elevated lines de-
clared that their employees are work
ing under perfectly satisfactory
agreement which has year more to
run.
1.-THE effect of a strike on the sur
face lines," said Mason B. Starring,
president of the Northwestern EleVat-
ed, would be merely to increase the
traffic on the elevated lines. There
is not the slightest chance of our men
going out in sympathy with the sur
face men,"
There are nearly 1000 miles of sur
face lines In Chicago, however, and
tie-up, despite all that the elevated
roads could do, would entail great
inconvenience, particularly in many
sections not reached by the overhead
system. In addition the strike would
cost the city millions of dollars in loss
of business.

DECLARES THAW INCURABLE
Last Of the Atlenists for State Testi-
ffes at Hearing.

White Plains, N. Y. Aug. 5.-Dr.
Carlos F, Macdonald, president of the
New York state commission in lunacy,
the last alienist called by the state in
the Thaw hearing. declared Thaw was
an incurable paranoiac. District At
torney Jerome read passages regard
ing paranoia from several medical au-
thorities, these having seeming ap-
plication to Thaw, and the witness
expressed his agreement. DR.. Mac
Donald concluded by declaring that
Thaw now suffered from "paranoia
Of the degenerate type" By "degen-
crate" he explained, was meant per-
son who has never attained the nor
NAL type. He pronounced Thaw in
durable.
The witness said that the regularity
of life at Matteawan might improve
Thaw's condition, although 1t could
not affect a cure. On the other hand,
he said, the continuance Of such a
life as the evidence indicated Thaw's
to have been would tend to rouse into
activity the decisions which have
been partially yelled.

LABOR CONFLICT

Considerably SWelled.
NO STREET CARS OR CABS

Already Affected.
Stockholm, Aug. 5.-The labor con-
f11ct In Sweden has become more
acute. While the ranks of the strik-
ers are considerably swelled the gen
eral strike called has not yet be.
come entirely effective. Many organ
1zations, although sympathizing with
the strikers, hesitate to join them
actively. The employees of the street
car lines and the cab drivers have
stopped work and neither cabs nor
street cars are available. The fact
that the troops are protecting the gas
works and the electric lighting plant
has incensed the workmen, whose
leaders threaten to call out all the
men unless the soldiers are with
drawn. The printers union held
meeting, but resolved to postpone for
the present any decision In the mat
ter of going on strike.
A corps Of workmen, some thousand
strong, is being organized with the
object of maintaining order and the
people generally, bankers, merchants,
etc., are arming themselves for self
protection. The gun shops of the
city are practically denuded of re-
.volvers and small arms. All tour
lists have left Stockholm and the num-
Der of visitors now in the city is
smaller than at this season for many
years past
Railroad Men Continue Work.
Although the railroad men have de-
cided not to strike the government is
taking the precaution to guard the
tracks with troops, fearing attempts
to blow up bridges or injure the per-
manent way. Quantities of dynamite
are reported to have mysteriously dis
appeared recently from the govern
ment stores.
The leaders of the strikers claim
that the end of the week will see a
notable spread of the movement; that
the railroad, postal, telegraph and tele-
phone employees and the printers will
by that time have joined In the strike.
The streets of Stockholm are filled
with idlers, who promenade back and
forth chatting the volunteer street
cleaners, many Of whom belong to the
better classes. All the saloons are
closed and only the best restaurants
are permitted to remain open and
even here it Is possible to get wine
only with solid meal.
All the ferries have stopped run
ming and there is little communica-
ton between Stockholm and the sub
urbs reached by water routes. This
fact will result in further diminution
Of food supplies. For the present all
is quiet In the city, but trouble Is
expected when the stocks of food be-
gin to run low

CRISIS IN SPAIN
NOW AT AN END
Officially Announced Entire
Country Is Tranquil

Madrid, Aug. 5.-The government
has issued an official announcement
saying the crisis in Spain is now at
an end and that the country Is tran
quill from the Bay of Biscay to the
Mediterranean. The release of Senior
1glesias, editor Of Ell Progresso, and a
certain relaxation of the censorship
are considered the best evidences that
the danger is past.
Barcelona, Aug. 5.-The life of Bar
celona continues to pursue its normal
course. The only evidence Of the
terrible nightmare through which the
city passed last week are the ruins
of the converts and churches and the
torn up pavements, the stones Of
which were used for the erection of
barricades. There Is, however, con-
siderable disquietude for the future
The terrible repressive measures of
the military authorities have left a
deep undercurrent Of resentment
among the masses and fears are enter
tanned that the rebellion may flare up
again in a new form. The people
are clamoring for the release Of the
prisoners in the dungeons of Fort
Montjuich. Sabadell and Tarrassa
have submitted to the troops.

"STOP MY PAPER"

Palestine Herald: Every now and
then some one gives this to the
Herald, and then sets back calmly
waiting to hear a mighty crash
when his order reaches the office
of publication. But it does not
come. The paper is simply stopped,
and business goes on just the same
as if nothing had happened, for
really nothing has happened. Papers
have been started and stopped ever
since the art of printing was first
discovered, and in all we'll regulated
Offices a book is kept to register
stops and starts.
Newspaper selling is just like sell.
ing goods. People who want it buy
it, and those who do not want it
leave it alone. Now and then a
man falls out with the paper and
orders it stopped but the paper never
takes notice of the reason for stop.
The Herald is worth the subscrip.
ton price charged and the subscrip'
ton price you pay does not buy the
policy of the paper. If the policy
does not suit you, that is your fault.
Your policy may not suit the paper
either. Let's be sensible about the
thing. Your subscription money
pays for the paper as it is. 1t does
not bribe it to be something else.

The Convictions in Barnwen.
(News and Courier.

To hear that man is to be hanged
or to wear prison stripes brings no
agreeable sensation to person of
normal temperament, but sometimes
1t is to be accepted as sign of i'm
provemont
The presumption is that the jury
in Barnwell county that brought In
the verdict Of guilty of murder as to
Johnson and Grubbs Saturday weigh
ed the evidence duly and gave the
accused the benefit of every reason
able doubt Of guilt; but not so long
ago verdict o" acquittal would have
l&ised no strong presumption out
side of Barnwell that the men were
innocent. This Is another way Of
saying that juries in Barnwell and in
many other parts of South Carolina
(and Charleston is in South Caro-
lina) may not always be depended
upon to do their duty, however plain
that duty is, to send a man to the
gallows.
Conviction of white men for the
crimes Of murder and manslaughter
are daily growing more common in
the State. The people are beginning
to understand that this is too good a
country to be given up to the man
with a pistol, whether he be drunk
or sober; that the tax-paying, hard
working, God-fearisg citizen who has
stake i'll the community, and who
is adding To 1t is entitled to life and
peace, and that the rufIian with a fan
cied grievance whose anger is heated
with mean whiskey and his courage
exaggerated by the possession of a
pistol is none too good to have his
neck broken when he has committed
murder.
In a word, South Carolina is set
Ting down because 1t is settling up.
Good citizens are increasing. Every
neighborhood has half a dozen edu-
Gated, many of them college bred,
farmers, as compared with half a
dozen to the county twenty-five years
ago. The log cabin school, "oId
field Is giving way to the two-story
weather-boarded and fully equipped
high school, and people understand
that their State is region worth
saving to live in, and they are deter
mined that life shall not be enjoyed
at the pleasure of the blackguard and
ruffian.
Towards this condition the great
white counties" at the foot of the
Blue Ridge have been approaching
slowly and steadily for thirty years,
and the forces that make for order
are spreading to the districts where
the negro population is larger and
where In consequence readjustment
after the close of the War Between
the States was more tardy
