STRIKERS MAD OVER FEDERAL
 INJUNCTIONS
fspecial from United Pressl

i. Special from United Press.)
 New Orleans. Oct. 6-Federal author ities all over the middle and far west are preparing today to cite for con- tempt any striker on the Hartman system of the Illinois Central who violates, in any way, the numerous sweeping Federal injunctions restrain ing strikers from interfering in any way with the operation of trains
 The carrying of the labor war into the Federal courts, with the prospect that Federal troops may be called out to enforce the mandates of the Federal judges, has incensed the strikers and their sympathizers to the danger point. The labor cry. against gov 'ernment by injunction" is emphasized by the sweeping character of the blan- keting injunctions granted and the la Dor men, already angry at this 'tcourt government are being worked up to the fighting pitch
 The Federal injunctions have thus far prevented further riotous out- breaks, but the situation is admitted ly serious. It has been along the H. linois Central lines that the strike vio- lence has been most marked. The frst outbreak on the Hartman sys- tenn occurred yesterday at A1gers, ac- cording to reports to. New Orleans when strikebreakers carried to the Hartman shops were attacked by 500 men. Many shots were fired but it is said no one was killed.
 More troops are being rushed to the scene by Governor Noel./

Oporto Prepares
 To Hoist Royahst
 Flag For Manuel
Special from United Press.1

VigO, Oct. 6.-All northern Portu- gal is in a state of revolt, today. Re- peated rumors of royaIist successes came from across the border but the censorship is so strict it is difficult to find out exactly what has happened. The rOyalists crossed the frontier yesterday, in two attachments of B. 900 men each, under the command of Captains Conceiro and Machado.
 This force expected to be joined by two thousand armed peasants at Ayamonte and then march south to Aporto. A special despatch from Tuy says battle was fought near Chavez, in which the Republicans were badly beaten. The despatch adds that the majority of the garrison at Chavez deserted and joined the attacking party which then seized the town and established headquarters.
 It is also stated that Oporto is pre- pared to hoist the blue and white flag of Manuel as soon as the royal1sr army comes in sight.

kronhoItz Must
 Keep Present Name

'I can't see any objection to the name of Kronholtz," said Judge Cur tis in the civil superior court this of Sigismund Kronholtz, a Stamford jeweler, who desired to change his name to Sigisrnund Kronn. Judge Curtis thought there might be com plications because Kronholtz owns considera ble real estate.
 The petitioner said he came to this country from Russia 23 years ago ana has been a citizen for IS years>- He regards his present name as too Ions and inconvenient. Many of hrs friends call him "Kronn" and he wanted to legally adopt the shorter name. He was quite crestfallen when the court refused to look with favor upon the petition. KronhoItZ says he owns property valued at $20,000.

NEW MEREDITH STORY

What has been called the famous ham, and-egg story about the novelist Mere dith is told in a new version by Ford Madox Hueffer in his book about the Pre- Raphaeli.es and other Victorian notables called Memories and Impressions" The story has to do with Meredith's stay m the household at Cheyene Walk with D. G. Rossetti, William Rosetti, and Swim burne. As usually related, says MT Hueffer, this story seems to put MT. Meredith in the somewhat ridiculous po- sition of being unable to face the spec tacle of ham and eggs upon Rosettl's breakfast table. MT. Meredith himself altogether denied the ham and egg story, pointing out that his version of the affair would be that, during stay of indefinite period in the household at Cheyene Walk, he had observed with alarm Rossetti's s habit of consuming large quantities Of meat and neglecting altogether to take exercise" But MT. Hueffer's grand father, Ford Madox Brown, told another tale. This was to the effect that Mere dith, being in circumstances of extreme poverty, was unable to join in the house. hold expenses and never appeared at table. The others used to send up dishes to his room. which probably disturbed his pride "The end came one day when the benevolent poets substituted for the cracked boots which he had put outside the door to tbe cleaned a new pair of ex- actly the same size and make. He put on the boots, went out, and having for Warded a check for the quarters rent, Lnever returned"

army officers have been spendthrifts and have got into financial straights, but I am glad to think that the ma jority have not lived beyond their means. I do not think it right for newspapers to condone the habits of army highrollers.' As to the disparity between the pay of subalterns and cap- tains and majors, is IS not great. The minimum pay of a captain of infantry is s2300 a year. and a majors mini mum pay is s3000.
 "A few years ago Congress increased the pay of the entire army from pri- yates up to major generals. Four hun dred dollars a year was added to the pay of a second lieutenant and $500 a year to all officers above second lieu tenants. The brigadier general who for merly received $5500 in money now re- ceives S6000 and the major general who formerly received $7500 now gets sSo00 While the communications or allowances may not be as large as they were some years ago, they are still considerable Yes, army officers are well paid, espe- cially in view of the fact that they have life positions and retire at an age not above 64 years with three fourthS pay"

England's New Insurance Bill

Besides providing for old age pen sions the liberal government has pushed through David Lloyd Georges bill to compel about 9,200,000 men and 3,900,000 working women to in- sure themselves against illness, in- ability and unemployment Small sums are to be deducted weekly from their wages, on the average cents, and their employers will be compelled to contribute similar amount to which the state adds further con- tribution of 4 cents. These three will
 make up the premium. The benefits
 to be derived will be medical relief and small sum for maintenance dur ing illness, life pension if perma- nently infirm, and also an allowance in case of unemployment, except when the idleness is the result of strike. Out of the fund raised the state will build large sanatoria for the treat ment of sick workmen and workwom- en, and in addition will supply them with free medical treatment for minor ills in their homes. During the first 13 weeks of his illness an insured workman will receive a subsistence all lowance of $2.50 week and during the second 13 weeks $1.25. If, at the end of the second 13 weeks, he is still unable to work at his trade, he may apply for disablement pension of $1.25, payable weekly until he be- comes eligible to a pension under the

Beautiful Pastel Picture

The American Trust and Savings bank issues an artistic calendar each year. It's calendar for 1912 is exceptionally beautiful. The pastel picture entitled Beatrice" by J. Ross Bryson, is arts- tic enough indeed in grace any choice art collection. The following interesting facts about the artist are published.
 After serving an apprenticeship in des- orative work in the schools of the Eng fish provinces he studied many years in the various art centers of Europe, mo- tably Paris and Berlin. He first at tracted the attention of the world of art by his work in oil but little later he adopted pastel almost exclusively, be- lieving it's softness and transparency more effective in portraying delicate ef- feets. The graceful witchery of his daln- ty, filmsy draperies has been equalled by no other artist, and his studies have en- joyed wide popularity among picture col leetors and publishers. Mr. Bryson now sells his pictures exclusively to tho Thomas D. Mufphy company and. as he is undoubtedly the greatest calendar ar tist in the world, this cannot but be re- garded as the most memorable of the many triumphs scored by this firm

MoTToEs SHAPED HIS DESTINY

Victor Hugo.
 In 17S4 Bonaparte, then 15 years old, arrived at the military school of Paris from Brienne, being one of four under the conduct of a minim priest. He mount ed 173 steps, carrying his small valise, and reached. ln the attic, the barracl chamber he was to occupy. This cham Der had two beds and small window opening on the great yard of the school. The young predecessors of Bonaparte had bescrawled the whitewashed walls with charcoal and the new conner could read in this little cell these four inscrip- tions, which we ourselves read there 35 years ago:
 x An epaulet is very long to win. De Montgivray.
 'The finest day in life Is that of a battle" ."-Vicomte de Tinteniac.
 Life is but a prolonged lie. '-Le Che vaier Adolphe Delmas.
 ..The end of all is six feet of earth.'- Le Comte de la Vilette.
 With the trifing substitution of the word empire for "epaulet,' these four sentences contain the whole destiny of Bonaparte, and formed a kind of "Mene, Tekel, Upharsn,'' written in advance upon that wall.

1p an article in Harpers for January on her recent journey among the Dyaks of Borneo, Mary Blair Beebe tells the origin of the practice of head hunting a practice which still prevails among these savage people despite our efforts to put 1t down.
 T was told later that a Dyak is quite mad for days after taking a head. I realized the infinite tact and wisdom with which the two white rapahs of Sara wak-Sir James and Sir Charles Brooke have striven to abolish the practice of head hunting. the greatest passion of the Dyak. having it's roots in his courtship and in his idea of immortality and tilial affection.
 "A Dyak legend tells that the daughter of their great ancestor, who resides in heaven near the evening star refused to marry until her bethrothed brought her q gift worthy her acceptance. The man went into the jungle and killed a deer. which he presented to her, but the rair laGY turned away in disdain He went away and returned with mias (orangu tam, the great monkey who haunts the

Then in a fit of despair the lever went abroad and killed the first man he met, and, throwing the victlms head at her feet, exclaimed at the cruelty she had made him guilty of, but to his surprise she smiled, and said that now he had discovered the only gift worthy of herself And to this day a Dyak girl will often refuse to marry a man who nas not taken at least one head. Still more binding upon the Dyak is the obligation 10 furnish a fresh head to attend the spirit of any dead member of his fam- fly.

The coffon situation

Henry Ciews the New York banker and broker, in bis review of the cotton situa- tion last week, concludes as follows:
 Both in England and on the continent the improvement in trade conditions is maintained. Foreign spinners continue their heavy purchases of actual cotton, taking to date 60O,000 bales more than for the corresponding period a year ago. This is particularly significant when it is re- called that last year our experts reached enormous proportions and were in a great measure responsible for the high prices which then prevailed, the foreign demand being looked upon, and rightly so, as the backbone of the bull position. Further confirmation is had of the short ness of the Indian crop. The maximum estimate now is for a yield of 3,000,000 bales which will compare with 4,6S00e0 bales last year, and 5,300,00O bales the year previous. If this forecast proves to be correct the total yield of India this season will be smaller than for any year since 1901
 Under the circumstances there seems to be no substantial reason for altering our opinion that cotton is cheap and pur- chases made around the present level ought to prove profitable in the long run.

Business in Presidential Years

A close study of past presidential years does not justify the prediction that trade will be dull next year. In all the presidential years the country has known only two can be considered to have brought dull times in trade. These were 1896 and 1900 In 1896 the country was still struggling with the panic of 1893, and in 1900 there was a slight reaction from the boom of the two previous years. It was, however, slight and it soon disap- peared. No other presidential years can be cited to sustain the theory of dullness in trade in presidential years, and we have had about 30 of such years.
 Today the trade outlook is bright ening, although the campaign of 1912 is coming on rapidly and plainly. Railroad earnings are satisfactory, and so are bank clearings. Orders are coming to the steel mills. Domestic trade is expanding. A trade revival is progressing, and no one need fear an adverse change in presidential year. Industrial depressions do, in fact, avoid, as a rule, presidential years. This is history, and history is very fond of repeating itself.
