GREAT STRIKE I'M PROSPECT.

ID EPORTS that great strike of railway
IN men throughout the West is not only pos
sible but probable are received with a shudder
BY those who recall the strike Of 1894 which
lasted from June 2S to July 1S, and resulted III
the defeat of labor.
Ii is to be hoped that a way will be found to
adjust the present difficulties without resort 20
a Strike which cannot but result in an enormous
loss of money no matter what the outcome may
be- Conflicts between labor and capital so lar
as their destructive results are considered
are as disastrous as wars between nations eX-
ceptng, of course, the loss OF human life.
The strike OF the trolley men in Chester en-
tailed enormous financial loss, and the figures OF
the losses caused by the Philadelphia strike, if
they could be obtained, would be appalling.
concern that has gone through one of these coniV
bats does not want another
Figures of the loss sustained during the rail-
way Atrke OF 1894 may prove interesting. It
cost the railroads of the country over $4,000
600 in property destroyed and fully fve times
as much more in lost traffic During its progress
it cost seventeen lives, the National Guardsmen
of several States were under arms and President
Cleveland sent United States regulars under COM
mand of General Miles to Chicago and they took
possession of the railroad yards.
The Federal troops interfered July 8. and on
the next day cars were moving Within four
days the strike had collapsed.
The strike began at Pullman and the griev-
ances of the men there were endorsed by the
American Railway Union. with which most OF
the strikers were affiliated. When the men on
roads oentering in Chicago who were members
of the A. r. u. were ordered to handle The Pull
man cars they refused and in this way the strike
quickly spread Mobs raided the yards and
burned cars and statiors The police in nearly
every instance were powerless and National
Guardsmen took their places They, too. were
impotent and rioting was rampant in Chicago
and the Middle West, but most serious in Chi
cago where thousands of persons, out OF work
following the Worlds Fair aided the strikers
1t was not until the mail trains were inter-
fered with that the Federal Government inter
vened and from that moment the collapse Of the
strike was certain Eugene V. Debs, head of the
american Railway Union, and other officials OF
the organization were arrested and indicted for
obstruoting the mails and other offenses
number of other labor leaders also suffered pen
alties. The strike practically disrupted all the
minor labor organizations on the railroads and
eliminated the American Railway Union as an
industrial factor.

WOMEN AND SUFFRAGE

r OR some reason the leaders of the Equal
\ Suffrage movement in New York do not
wish test to ascertain whether the women of
that commonwealth want the right to vote Il
has been suggested that referendum among
the women be called for TO show the actual SEN
timent, but this has been opposed by advocates
OF suffrage.
Their opposition has stirred some OF the op-
ponents of suffrage to find out for themselves
Assemblyman Charles A. Dana, Of Albany had
a canvasser poll the sentiment among women
as to suffrage. Twenty-four houses were vis-
tied. Ten women could not be seen; FIVE re-
fused to answer; two declared they were not in
terested; one said that she was considering; FIVE
replied in the negative: only one declared that
she wanted to vote. Among the maids in the
houses the vote was nine against suffrage and
one for it.
The canyasser in district composed chiefly
of so-called laboring men announced that he was
unable to find one woman who wanted to vote
From these figures it is evident that the advo-

But that does not argue that the game

Governor Brown, of Georgia, is one of that
large class of men who are tired of the contro-
versy over the discovery of the North Pole. He
thinks that neither Cook nor Peary reached the
pole and does not see why Peary should be hon
ored until he furnishes more proofs of his dis
covery. AS a consequence the Governor as well
as the Mayor of Atlanta, Georgia refused to
take part in a Peary meeting in the Georgia cap

RUSSIAN WOMEN in PRISON

The most striking thing about these
women was the love and tenderness they
bore to one another, and their great per-
sonal beauty. The Russian woman revolu-
ZIONIST is not in her element on the streets.
She hurries along in little black serge
skirt-the inevitable pockets bullying with
literature-and a short black jacket and
fur cap; uncorseted, bent forward, her hair
first braided and then pinned low on her
neck; with an intense manner. as If she
were in great anxiety not to miss the czar
and throw the bomb. She needs prison
to show her off.
The room we were in seemed full of beau
tiful nymphs and dryads, because of their
hair which they wore in long braids that
fell over their shoulders, or opened loose
and tied back on, the head with a ribbon
like little English school girls. Their bodies
were 1.-THE and supple and showed strongly
underneath their little waists and skirts.
And such gentleness in the touch of their
hands, and such tenderness hanging around
the eyes and mouth They never addressed
each other but with the sacred word of
"oomrade' and my dear one" There was
an intangible atmosphere of fellowship and
love in the room. Someone cooked for some
one else; a little working girl was taught
the Russian grammar by a student from
Moscow, and all were soft-voiced and low

DISCIPLINE IN THE NURSERY
Serious Danger In Permitting a

One OF the most foolish as well as the
most fatal errors of discipline in the

nurses ignorant of the simplest child psy-
chology, known as letting the little one
"cry 1t out" Some wee thing well under
10 years perhaps little over a year old,
wishes y to do, or not to do. something,
and cries when thwarted. The nurse, or,
sadder still, the mother, who poses as a

ROAST FOR CORSET MAKER
Presumes to Discuss WOman's Figure
and Gets Sarcastic
Hand.

One of New York's masculine corset max
ers is quoted to the effect that the Amer
lean woman has the finest figure in the
world. This may be true-in fact, we
think it is true beyond a doubt-but such
statement comes with i'll grace from a
man who devotes his time to-makes his
living by, in notwithstanding and Disgusting
the American woman's figure.
There seems good reason for doubling
the competence of any corset maker to
give an opinion on what constitutes a good
figure. He is manifestly, prejudiced by his
trade and its traditions Note the strange
bulgings and constructions which have
marked his progress down the ages since
the days of the Virgin Queen AS an
example of what can be done with the
human body, his records are unique, but
they have nothing to do with beauty or art
The straight front and the round front
the short waist and the long waist, the
hipess and hippy styles are or rather
were, wonderfully ingenious creations nc
doubt, but the Venus of Milo, untram-
feled and unadorned, unconstricted and
unbulged, still holds the center of the
stage and remains the traditional model Of
feminine beauty Of form.
Why, then, should the corset maker
| claim any special right to discourse upoT
! and deliver opinions regarding feminine
beauty He would be far wiser II he hiC
his head when the subject was up and shuI
/ the public glare. For he has done more t
