MOB BURNS CARS
IN STREETS OF
PH|LAOELPH |A
Attempt to Use Strikebreakers
Results in Ri0ting
ONE POLICEMAN is SHOT
Conductors and Motormen Dragged
From Cars by Strike Sympsthizers
and Badly Beaten

Philadelphia, June 3.-Tne attempt
of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co.
to operate its cars last night with
strikebreakers imported from other
cities resulted in the first serious riot
ing which has occurred since the
strike of the street car men began on
May 80.
In the Kensington district where
many mills are located, tne feeling
ran high. Mobs of men, women and
children pulled the motormen and con-
ductors from their cars and beat them
severely. In many Instances cars
wer set on fire. The police were pow
erless to control the angry strike
sympathizers. When they charged
the mob it separated only to form
again In the vicinity of another car.
While the most serious rioting oc-
Cured in the mill district In Kensing-
ton, cars were attacked in many other
parts of the city. In West Philadel-
phia dynamite caps were placed On
the tracks and crowds stoned the
strikebreakers when they attempted
to bring out cars. forcing them TO re-
turn to the barn. In the downtown
section conductors and motormen
were pulled from their cars and taeir
clothes torn from their backs by mobs
of strike sympathizers. In some cas-
es the terrified strikebreakers had to
be taken to private houses and guard
ed by police to save them from bodily
harm.
In Kensington there were five big
riots, and all evening Kensington ave
enue, the main thoroughfare of the
district, was filed vita bowling
mob. So far as can be Learned the
striking street car men themselves did
not take any part in the rioting. They
were kept confined by their leaders,
in their various meeting places. The
| imported strlkehreakers proved to be
a disappo ntment to TIE company,
many of them deserving their cars az
the first sign OF trouble and left them
standing In the street at the mercy of
the mon. Several of them applied
to tne strikers for aid 10 return to

dred persons lave been more or less
seriously injured. During the day the
company claimed 10 have operated
few more cars than unNtne previous
days of the strike. Chairman Pratt

some additional ca.s had been run but
said the strikers had won over more

THE "JEFFs" NEXT SATURDAY
Bennington 20 Meet Fast Aggregation
From Schenectady at Morgan Park.

OF all the baseball games played
during the season in Bennington in
recent years the contests with the
Jeffersonians of Schenectady are uni
versally conceded to have been the
most satisfactory. Uutil the last two
years the boys from the General Elec-
trio town have won majority OF the
games, but no matter which team had
the bigger score the games have al
ways been close and interesting.
The tie game which won IL innings
at Morgan Park on the morning of
August 16 year ago was as fast an
exhibition of baseball as could be
seen on a big league diamond, Other
games with the Jeffs have been won
and lost by such close scores as s to
Z and 10 to 8,
TIE Schenectady boys have kept
their team unusually well-united for
several years and for this reason are
capable OF playing inside BALI to a
degree unequalled by most of the
teams that come to Bennington. Last
year the "Jeffs" held their own with
North Adams and Pittsfield and in the
only game played this year held the
Tunnel Diggers to 80 score.
The games played this season at
Morgan Park have not demonstrated
the ability of the Bennington team.
There are many followers of the game
here who believe that the present
team is the best-balanced organization
that has been brought together here
in the history of the sport. The
game Saturday ought to be a demon
stration. If the team makes a credit
able showing against the Schenectady
boys it should be admitted that the
nine is good enough for Bennington.

Local High School Defeated Wednes.
day Afternoon

The Bennington high school bowed
to defeat Wednesday afternoon at
Morgan Park before the North Ben
nington high school nine by the large
score of 10 to 8. Thep laying of both
teams was ragged and uninteresting
to watch.
Fassett pitched a poorer game than
usual and the work of the infield was
the worst of the season. Bad playing
was the only feature of the game.
The North Bennington team this
year is stronger than any nine which
has represented the scaool in some
years. 1t has already defeated Ian
slngburgh, Burr and Burton, Hoosick
Fails and Bennington High school.

Castro,a Wife His Mascot.

If Cipriano Castro ever regains pow CT in Venezuela 1t will be largely through his brilliant wife. Senora Castro, in addition to her looks, is one of the cleverest women of South Amer ica. She looks years younger than her age. and she has reduced the art of fascination to it's last equation. It is her aim to see the former president in dictatorship much more exalted than that which he recently enjoyed. She is understood to have had hopes al one time of making Cipriano sort of emperor of South America. That .the republics of the southern continent car be welded into an empire has been the dream of more than one ambitious woman. Sonora Castro, however, is said to have gone beyond mere dream ing. It is whispered that when her husband still was president of Vene. Zuela she began pulling wires-the fin est of gold wires, of course-to that end and that she has said if he had retained his office a few years longer she would have placed an imperial crown upon his head.

A woman,s Mental Qualities.

Woman as she compares with man was the gist of a lecture given not long ago by a we'll known professor, says an exchange. He thus analysed a woman's mental qualities:
 Sensation-Women just as sensitive as men.
 Perceptisn-Very quick; more so than men.
 Memory-The sexes are equal.
 Obstinacy and ympathy-Strongly developed in women.
 ealousy-Another important quality of women.
 Love-The most important thing in a woman's life.
 Incidentally the lecturer referred to flirting. 'I do not believe" he said, that women are particularly desirOus of flirting first with one man and then with another. They are all simply prospecting; just inquiring into the mental condition of different men to find which is the type suitable to themselves"
 It is well to "see ourselves as others see us," and Eve feels sure that this learned professors knowledge of wO- mankind will be accepted by the en- tire feminine world As a body we ought to return thanks to him for set ting all our doubts about our mental qualities at rest.

waxing pad combined. The special ad- vantage claimed for this invention is that it is easily attached to the iron ing board and is always ready for service.
 Instead of throwing away granite, iron and tin ware when hole appears, the thrifty housewife may easily re- pair it nowadays with a little rivet that is especially designed for this purpose. The rivet comes in assorted sizes and Is very simple to adjust.
 The mop Is still in use, but the dis agreeable features of the old time method of operation have been elimi- mated in the latest form of mop, which consists of a sponge with a perforated leather face and an attachment for disposing of the dirty water, thus making the process of mopping more sanitary than under old conditions.
 The fiber broom comes as a rival to the familiar floor cleaner of straw. It Is used in the same way as the regu- lation broom, but the claim Is made that the fibers cannot come out or break off when sweeping carpet. It is serviceable also for polished floors, mating or oilcloth.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Nothing gives quicker relief to a burn than a poultice of scraped raw potato.
 Sugar is said to contain 25 per cent more nourishment than anything else that can be purchased in the way of food except wheat flour and corn.
 One of the best notices a woman can have in her room in full sight of every member of the family is this one: "There is power in repose." Ii isn't the picture or the pretty binding, but the sentiment, which is a balm to trying members of ones household. There are exasperating moments when hasty remark, but harmony is never encouraged by wordy battles, and the silent member of the family is the one who escapes the regrets.

Want to be strong?

Eat more Quaker Oats. Eat it for breakfast every day. This advice is coming from all sides as result of re- cent experiments on foods to determine which are the best for strength and en- durance. It has been proved that eaters of Quaker Oats and such cereals are far superior in strength and endurance to those who rely upon the usual diet of heavy, greasy foods.
 When all is said and done on the cereal food question, the fact remains that for economy and for results in health and strength, Quaker Oats stands first of all. It is the most popular food in the world among the foods sold in packages.
 All grocers carry Quaker Oats. It sells at 10c for the regular size package, 25c for the large size family package and BOG for the family package contain ing fine piece of china.

Labor Saving Inventions Recently Put
 on the Market.
 The inventors keep busy devising new ways for lessening household la bor and making life easier for the cook and housewife. Some of the more recent of these productions are shown in the accompanying sketch. The lightning pinfeather picker is an invention designed to expeditiously and satisfactorily remove all pinfeath- CTS, stub feathers and down from poultry and leave the skin of the fowl clean and unbroken. It is made from sheet steel heavily nickel plated, is simple in construction, strong and du- rable. By its use the ordinarily tire some task of picking a fowl is made easy.
 The trials of ironing day are less ened by the use of another new con- trivance-namely, an iron stand and
