STRIKING CAR MEN
WIN IN P|TTsBURG
Company Comedies Every De-
mand Save One.
THREAT TO SEIZE RAILWAYS
Mob Attacks Strikebreakers on a
Bridge, and Two Detectives Are
dubbed and Two Strikers Shot
Mo Fatalities Occurred.

Pittsburg, Pa. Through the ef-
forts of Mayor William A. Magee, of
Pittsburg, the strike of street car
men was adjusted, and the workmen
returned to their cars at 5 a. m, next
day, after having been off just forty
eight hours. 1t is apparently a com-
plete victory for the men.
Every point is conceded by the
company save that of drinking when
in uniform, even though off duty.
The men had asserted that a man
had the right to drink if he saw fit
after his days work was done, but
this was denied by the company, and
a motorman caught drinking after
his days work was discharged. This
case will be submitted to arbitration.
The company agrees to reimburse
a motorman laid off for six days for
not assisting in clearing a wrecked
wagon off the track, to make a better
schedule.
The grievances of the union men
included the charges of discrimina-
ton against union men, demands for
hearings for discharged men, longer
lunch time, installation of bulletin
boards in car barns announcing lay
off, and shorter runs.
The streets were filled with street
cal n~-rejoicing over the victory.
1t is conceded that the Mayors threat
to seize the street car lines under an
old law that gave him that right
caused the settlement.
There was a day of incessant small
rioting and some bloodshed. The big
riot of the day occurred at Rankin,
eleven miles from P%ittsburg, head
quarters of the river divisions Of the
P%ittsburg Railways Company and of
McKeesport. While only four are
known to have been injured, it is
thought a score of others were hurt.
1t was a clash between strikers and
detectives who were in charge OF
strikebreakers heading for the
Rankin barns. The known injured
are:
John Rondo, strike sympathizer;
right ear torn from head by bullet.
James Lappa, striker; bullet through
left arm; bone shattered by bullet.
John S. Englert, county detective;
dubbed and beaten by strikers; con-
dition serious. Richard 7. Brown,
county detective; kicked and beaten
insensible by strikers; taken to Nc
Keesport Hospital.
The battle occurred on a high
bridge spanning the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad tracks at Rankin. The
detectives, with strikebreakers, got
off a Baltimore and Ohio train, and a
cry went up from a score of watchers,
Here come the strikebreakers." Eng
lert, heading the party, crossed the
tracks and got upon a bridge leading
over to the back If the car barns.
Fully 800 strikers or their friends
followed the detectives and the
strange men onto the bridge, while a
similar number came rushing from
the other side, meeting the detectives
when they, with their escorted party
OF strikebreakers, were about half
way over the bridge.
The strikebreakers who had come
with the detectives managed to break
their way through the crowd at the
back, while the detectives fought
their way through the mob in front
to the barns.

The Girls Recreation Home" run
by Mrs. Frances Hold, lat No. 10 Mott
street, has been closed. This home
was frequented by Elsie Sigel and her
misguided mother, and it was there
that the girl often met the man who
is now being pursued by the police.
Every man who has been brought
into contact with this type of China
man, or who has had opportunity to
observe the workings of a Chinese
mission, knows that there are nc
greater plague. spots in the country
than such establishments. Ministers,
who with more zeal than intelligence,
assemble Cinnamon together and per-
NIT them to be instructed under the
tutelage Of young girls, are merely
lending themselves to the knavery of
their charges.
The Chinese are taught American
hymns, and hymns translated by mis-
sionaries for them into Chinese. These
they troll forth Justify, all the while
squirting insolently at their teachers.
During the week they make frequent
visits to the homes of the girl, bear
ing Chinese sweetmeats and ginger.
At Christmas they shower upon the
young women gifts of shawls and
costly fabrics, with an object in mind
which would probably make a MUIR
derer of any father that suspected it.
In manner they are always bland
and suave, being very careful to say
nothing that will give ~offense, but one
look into their leering faces is enough
to convince a person of experience
that a young girl would be better
trusted with the worst cadet on the
East Side. At least the cadets lam
guage would be q warning.

Without Water.
We confess that after raising ducks
in a small way for three years we
cannot satisfactorily say whether It is
profitable to raise ducks without CIV
ing them access to water. This year
we raised them without letting them
have access to water, excepting for
drinking purposes. During the sum-
mers of 1906 and 1907 we raised 200
Mammoth Pekins and the youngsters
took to the water within eighteen
hours after being taken from the in
cubator or within twenty-four hours
after the old hen came off the nest
with them.
The water, a small stream, was
within 800 yards of the Matching
place and every duck, with one ac-
cord, took a bee line for it, says a
writer in Farm and Home. We had
good luck with them. This year we
kept watch of the youngsters for ey-
sral weeks, keeping them away from
the water. In a few weeks they
would range around the feed within
twenty PAGES of the brook but have
never taken a swim. We have the
Pekin and the Indian Runner breeds,
and for the past sixty days or 0
they have grazed in the pasture,
often going almost to the edge of the
brook.
They seem totbe perfectly healthy
and content and we have not lost a
luck by disease, nor had any sick or
ailing. After eating, they go through
all the motions of a swim, dipping
themselves and going through the
motions as if they were in the water.
We like ducks because they are so
healthy and so easily controlled. We
aim to market the Pekins at ten
weeks old and expect such ducks to
average fully five pounds or over. To
reach these figures they must not
have too much range or too much ex.
ercise. 1t seems to me that the
breeding ducks should have free &C.
cess to water. I believe the eggs
will be more fertile and the ducks
healthier and stronger.

Equfpmenf

of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the
scientific attachments Of its chemists have
rendered possible the production of Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, in all of it's
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known to act most
bene6cially and combining them most
skillfully, in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of
California Figs.
As there is only one genuine Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA and as the gen.
uine is manufactured by an original
method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the
genuine to get its beneficial effects.
A knowledge of the above facts enables

New York City.-Every city in the
United States where three or four
Chinese can be gathered together in
a Sunday-school has a girl trap like
that in which Elsie Sigel went to her
death.
Wherever the crafty William Leon,
OF Leung Linn, to give his Chinese
name, goes in his fight he will be
aided by kindred spirits willing to do
all they can for him, because they
can never know when they will be in
the same predicament.
A Chinaman hunt is not at all like
an ordinary man hunt, where all hon.
est men are willing to tell all they
know about the murderer's where
abouts. Every Chinese community
has it's clique of criminals, willing
and eager to protect any fellow coun-
tryman the police happen to want,
and always blandly misunderstanding
every question that is put to them.
Elsie Sigel's fate awaits, almost
certainly, every white girl who per-
mits herself to get into the power of
the SNUG, psalm-singing Christian
lied" Chinese who frequent the Chi
nese Sunday-schools. Such tragedies
r grewsomely familiar on the Pa
cific Coast, where of late the Chinese
mission is looked upon with severe
disfavor. 1t was long ago discovered
there that when a Sunday-school was
taught by men the Oriental zeal for a
new religion became suddenly cooled.
When Father Mclaughlin, now of
New Rochelle, was in charge of a
Mott street church a company of Chi
nese came to him and politely re-
quested that he establish a Sunday
school for their benefit. Father Nc
Laughlin %assented, and being a man
of wisdom announced that he would
teach it himself. When his yellow
visitors requested that they be taught
by young white girls he Indignantly

sometimes breaks out openly in orgies

strange sects in America, Russia and
elsewhere.

so high a pitch in America that he OF

Berlin.-The newspapers here de-
scribe the murder of Elsie Sigel in
New York as a tragedy which could
have been enacted only in a religio-
sexual atmosphere peculiar to Amer
lea. Says one newspaper:
IF the scandals that involved
Prince Philip gu Gutenberg and the
Knights of the Round Table were
Characteristic of Germany, it can be
said with equal truth that the trag-
edies arising out of this weird and
unhealthy mixture of religious pas
sion and sexual passion are charac-
teristic of America"
Germany" 1t adds, "can learn a
lesson from decadents on the other
side of the Atlantic-not to permit
pietists to be too prominent in lead
ing social usage; not to set up a
wholly artificial standard of moral
ity."
