The jewelers. DIAGNOSIS,

"Can you tell me what's the matter
with this watch?" inquired the Aver
age Looking Man anXiously.
The jeweler stuck a dice box in his
eye and glanced at the instruments
innards. Then he looked up.
"You find it necessary to shake it
real hard every now and then to start
1t going, don't you?" he inquired.
That's right"
And you find that it gets dusty,
don't you Perhaps you don't blow
hard enough on the works."
ooh, yes, / do-every day."
well, well! But are you careful
to start the balance wheel going with
a toothpick every hour or two?'
"Yes, 1 do that, too"
And in spite of all your precau-
lions, it needs about five dollars
worth of repairs. It's very strange"
For the jeweler possessed a dry and
sarcastic wit.

A UMite.V

The difficulties experienced by our
forefathers in trying to reckon money
in very small proportions appear in
the various values given to a mite"
in the sixteenth and seventeenth cen
fury books Of commercial arithmetic.
The original mite seems to have
been a third of a Flemish penny, but
the use of the word for the widows
coin of the New Testament made it's
regular English meaning half a farth-
ing, and some old people may emem-
Der applying the name to the short
lived nineteenth century coins of that
value. In those old arithmetic books
mite" stands for various values not
represented by actual coins, but OBJ
viously used in reckoning. A work
of 1706 makes it one-twelfth of a pen
ny, two sixteenth century books one
sixth of a farthing, and in 1874
Jeake's arithmetic made it as little
as one sixty-fourth of a penny.

A SCORE OF PERSONS ARE SERl-
oUslY WOUNDED, SEVERAL
FATALLY, IN CLASH.
CROWDS CHECKED BY TROOPS
Women Armed With Stones and Clubs
Make an Effectual Assault and In
cite Men to Fight-One Wo-
man is Wounded Shot.

Pittsburg, Pa.-One state trooper,
one deputy sheriff and three foreign
ers were shot and killed in a wild riot
at the Pressed Steel Car plant in
Schoenville, whose employees are now
on strike.
At least a score of persons were Sc
riously wounded, several fatally. The
rioting followed a day of quiet, and
broke without warning.
While the riot lasted, mounted state
troopers galloped indiscriminately
through the streets with riot maces
drawn, cracking the head of all per-
sons lettering in the vicinity of the
mill. Deputy sheriffs and troopers
broke in the doors of houses, suspect
ed of being the retreat of strikers, and
wholesale arrests were made.
Scores of persons were arrested and
placed in box car jails in the mill
yards.
During the early stage of rioting,
women were conspicuous, some were
armed and others effectually used
clubs and stones. These women, all
foreigners, insane with rage, were
mainly responsible for melting the
men to extreme measures.
Shortly before $50 O'Clock a mob
of men gathered about the %Schoenville
entrance to the Pressed Steel Car
works, and without warning, made a
concerted attack upon the big swing
ing gates of the stockade. The attack
was resisted by state troopers and
deputy sheriffs, who used riot maces.
In the melee Harry Exler, a deputy
sheriff, aged SO years, was shot and
instantly killed by a bullet fired, it is
said, by an alleged strike sympathizer.
For the first time since the inception
of the strike, the state troopers
opened volley fire on a mob. Six
strikers fell at the first round.

BLK REFORM MOVEME NT
Atlantic City Mayor Refused to Re-

eral-Talk of Arrest.

Atlantic City, N. J.-Interest in the
reform movement in this city vas in
creased when Mayor Story officially
refused to receive a notice from At
torney General Williams, ordering
him to close Atlantic City saloons
on Sunday. The mayor said he
knew the contents of the notice,
which gave the names and addresses
of the 3S saloon and hotel proprietors,
who are alleged to have sold liquor
on three Sundays of the present
month, and he refused to accept SER
vice even after the contents of no.
tice and the signatures of the attorney
general had ben read to him. Under
the state laT, the refusal to act
within ten days on an order issued
by the attorney general, makes a city
official liable to indictment for a
misdemeanor.
The heads of the reform movement
declared that they will ask for the ar
rest of the mayor if he refuses to ac-
knowledge the notice.

SECLUDED FOR As YEARS
Recluse Had Not Stepped Outside His
Yard Since Day Lincoln
Freed Negroes.

Louisville, Ky.-News has come to
this city of the death at Green Brier,
Nelson county, of Basil Hayden, who
has not stepped outside the picket
fence bounding his yard since Presi-
dent Lincoln freed the slaves. 1t was
not resentment at this act that caused
Hayden's seclusion, for neighborhood
tradition is that he shut himself in a
little room that day in 1868 after his
sweetheart died and looked no more
upon men.
An overseer Of Hayden's estate
named Borders was the only human
being whom the anchorite saw.
Hayden left an estate which will
amount to nearly 100000, the money
being hidden in pillowslips and cast

SEEMED TO NEED MORE FIRE
Swan, Only Being Cooked for Two
Days, Was Not Very Palate
able Eating.

One of the most annoying things
about swans is that they live to an
extremely great age. and that it is
impossible for the ordinary observer
to guess what their years may be.
President Grover Cleveland once had
an amusing experience with some
swans, according to a writer in the
American Magazine. He had been in
the south, shooting, and brought home
a number of wild swans, one of which
he sent to each member of his cabi-
net and to some other associates.
"All the boys" said Mr.. Cleveland,
thanked me politely for having re-
membered them, but none of them
seemed to have much to say how they
enjoyed the birds.
Carlisle, l found, had his cooked
on a night when he was dining out.
Another, when l asked him, said he
hoped l wouldn't mind, but he had
tent his home to his old mother. Thur
bel didn't mention his bird at all for
two days. Finally l asked him about it.
"'Thurber, did you get that swan
all right?'
Eyes, sir, oh, yes, I got the swan
all right, thank YOU and he bent over
his desk and seemed very busy.
Fine Bird l said.
eyes, sir, fine Bird and he went
on working.
ENJOY eating him, Thurber?'
"He waited a minute, and then he
said, Well, sir, l guess they didn't
cook him right at my house. They
only cooked him two days. and he
went on working without cracking a
smile"

A Bear Just Misses Revenge.

Herman Russell, a farmer of Hud.
o township, had a thrilling escape
from a den of bears the other day,
says a Boyne City (Mich.) dispatch
to the Chicago Inter Ocean. While
driving along the road his watchdog
secuted a cub and Herman, seeing
the little fellow, decided that it would
make a good pet.
He accordingly went oyer to the
cub, but when he attempted to pick
him up he was confronted by a big
mother bear. who put up a fight. Her.
man took to the first tree, which was
a small sapling. Mrs. Bruin sized up
the situation, then deliberately
gnawed the sapling until it broke.
Russell was saved by falling into
the branches of a larger tree.

in the provinces in Italy south of
Rome. Above this line many intelli-

The feminist movement in Italy is

Havana, Ill.-Mystery envelops the
death of George Edwin Tigar, a young
farmer. found dead in the bottom of
his wagon after the driverless team
reached his home. The coroner's jury
rendered a verdict that death was due
to carbolic acid poisoning.
Popular opinion is about evenly d.
vlded between the belief that the
man committed suicide or was the
victim of foul play. On account of the
fact that Tigar was soon to have mar
ried Miss Bertha Markert, daughter
Oh a prosperous farmer, and had ar.
ranged to take charge of a splendid
farm, 1t seems unlikely that he
would have killed himself.

Had Purchased Poison.

When found the odor OF carbolic
acld was perceptible, although the
body was cold. Investigation showed
that he had bought a two-ounce bot.
tie of carbolic acid at a local drug
store in the afternoon, the druggist
who sold it supposing that he, like
other farmers, kept it to mix with
vaseline for the treating of sore
shoulders on horses. The acid had
burned both sides of the face, throat
and chest.
The relatives of the dead man
scout the theory of suicide, and claim
that the boy was murdered. They
point to tho fact that the neck was
discolored, the veins swollen and the
lips tightly compressed.
Persons who met Tigar Monday
say he was in a cheerful mood. The
family will try to establish proof that
he was murdered and an autopsy may
be held. The mans ~financee is pro-
strated. The bottle which had contain
ed the acid has not been found.
