spain strengthening Civil Guard.

Madrid, Oct. S.-(via Hendaye, Oct.
% doubtful OF the loyalty Of the
Spanish army to the government, Spain
is today bending every effort to
strengthen her civil gard, the strong
est bulwark OF reaction in the country.
Recruiting is going on everywhere for
the guard, and since the revolution in
Portugal its membership has been al
most doubled
The civil guard is distinct from the
regular police, corresponding more
nearly to the French gendarmerie. In
the vicinity OF Barcelona alone the
government now has 5000 guardsmen
ready for service on an instant's notice.
While the troops recruited from the
people share the latter's sympathies
and prejudices and are saturated with
republicanism, the guardsmen are mere
mercenaries. They ore we'll paid, and
instead of being gathered haphazard by
CONSUMPTION, are picked from just the
material the government wants. The
prisons contribute largely to the filling
OF their ranks.

and punched by the mob. The horse
was attached TO the wagon again, after
a policeman had captured him, and to
the accompaniment Of yolley Of
stones, the wagon was escorted TO the
Wells-Fargo stables.
At 1890 o'clock n gang OF fifty
strike breakers arrived from New York
and emerged from the McAdoo tubes
at the Henderson street station. They
were armed with new night sticks and
we're piloted to the Adams Express
stable, passing the city hall and police
headquarters en- route. When they
entered the stable they were attacked
by a large number OF striking drivers
and helpers, who had been tipped
off, " and who had gained admission to
the stable on the pretext OF returning
to work. In the battle which followed,
the strike breakers were deprived OF
their night sticks and badly beaten.
Nearly all escaped. The remainder
said they had enough OF jersey" and
begged the police to take them back
to the tubes. They we're Accommodated.
No express matter is moving today and
the strikers appear to be in complete
control OF the situation.

fused, spread to this city today. Em-
ployes OF the Adams and Wells Fargo
Companies abandoned their wagons al

wage increase is granted. The result
was several short but very lively riots
in the vicinity OF the express offices IN
the neighborhood OF Madison avenue
and Forty-Eighth street. A number Of
strike breakers were dragged from
their wagons and badly beaten up.
When the police reserves reached the

FORTUNE TELLING on HAL
LOWFyEN.

With Halloween SO near everybody
is casting about for suggestions fortheir
own participation in the fun Of this
mysterious iete evening, and many
plans are suggested for ways and means
Of Halloween entertainment.
1t is wise to plan for this mystic
season in plenty of time because Hal
lowe en- parties require more prepare
ton before hand than the ordinary
everyday entertainment.
Fortune telling is indispensable II on
this occasion for Hallowe EN- is night
OF whtchcraft, in the working Of love
charms.
Place in row three sGucers, one
containing milk will marry riches;
drinking wate-, and sthe third empty.
Bin Hold tie guests and let each one
dip her fingers IN one OF the saucers
that containing milk she will marry
riches; the one choosing the saucer OF
water will be poor and the one who
dips into the empty saucer will be an
old maid, or bachelor, as the case may
be.
For children's party this fortune
telling game should be varied slightly.
Cut out letters from newspaper and
scatter them in a bowl of water. Let
the blindfolded children draw until the
letters are all gone. What they have
drawn will form words or sy llablcs
which the teller Of the fortune can con-
s.rue rs her Imagination dictates.
Another attrl tvs iortune-telling
method for Halloween is the drop
ping OF melted lead into cold water. As
the lead hardens it will form shapes
whereby the fortune teller can unfold
n tale OF the future.
The Russian custom is to use lard
for this purpose instead Of lead. The
hot lard dropped into cold water as
sumes all sorts OF fantastic shapes.
There must DO games for the Hal
lowe en- party besides the telling OF for
tunes, however, of which none affords
more than "Spearing at Fate"
For this game large pumpkin is
chosen into which the alphabet is
burned with hot poker Hang the
pumpkin thus prepared in an open
doorway. Each guest must be pro-
yided with a meat skewer. The
pumpkin is set to whirling as fast
as possible and the guests take turns
trying to spur one OF the letters.
II they succeed, the letter speared as
supposed to be the initial Of his or her
wife or husband, as the sex OF the
spearer may be.
The obstacle race affords a great
deal OF amusement at a Halloween
party. Three or four members OF
the party are chosen and sent from
the room. In their absence such
articles OF books, cushions, nows-
papers, aud footstools are stTewn
about the floor. When this has Keen
done one Of the victims Is called into
the room and shown the articles
and their location, He Is then
blindioldcd, during which process
some one quietly removes the articles.
To the merriment Of the spectators
the blindiolded guest starts toward his
stipulated destination making every
effort to step over the articles which |
he has seen upon the floor, but which |
are no longer there
The others waiting outside are in |
turn admitted and put through this
highly amusing imitation, much to
their own confusion and the delight Of
the other guests.

 FATAL DAY De La Grange the Champion
 Killed at Bordeaux IN 4 DARING MAnEUVER
The Wings Collapsed and Aeroplanist Was Crushed Under the Heavy Motor -Dumont M ore For
 tunate Victim of Accident

BOredaux, Jan. 3.-Le6n de La Grange the aviator. whose achievements for the last two years won him a high place among those who have set out to conquer the air, was instantly killed today while making a flight in the presence of a great crowd.
 A strong. uncertain wind prevailed, but. with characteristic daring, de La Grange faced it in the same mono plane in which he made a record of fiftythree miles an hour at the Don caster meeting in October.
 He circled the aerdrome, seeming to have the machine under good control, though at times it heeled dangerously. On the third round, when at a height of between sixty and seventy feet, he increased his speed. He swung a wide turn. but at the lower end of the drome he attempted to describe sharp curve The machine was seen to sway The left wing was broken and the righ collapsed.
 The aeroplane came plunging to the earth and turned half over as it fell with the aviator clinging to his seat It crashed to the ground with de La Grange beneath, the heavy motor crushing him.
