TAMPA STRIKERS TO WORK.
Have Been Out Seven NTonths--Quar-
ter Million Weekly Loss.

Tampa, Fla, Jan. 26.-Following
three days conference between the
joint advisory board Of the Cigar
Makers Association and commit
tee from the Manufacturers Associa-
ton, the advisory board issued
statement late this afternoon calling
OF the strike and ordering the men
back to their benches. Propositions
made by the manufacturers were
not considered by the advisory board
IN calling off the strike, members Of
that organization preferring to make
the submission unconditional.
The strike, in point Of numbers in
volved and the financial loss to Tam
pa, is the largest in the history of
the south. For seven months be-
tw cen 10000 and $4,000 workmen
have been out Of work, entailing a
weekly loss in salaries alone of over
a quarter of million dollars. From
Its inception it has been fraught with
intense personal feeling between the
workers and the manufacturers.
Several attempts were made at as
sassination, one Of these being sue
cessful when j. T.. Easterling was
shot to death as he stepped from a
street car in front of the factory at
which he was employed in West Tam
pa. For this crime two Italians, sus-
pected Of being leaders in the plot
were taken from officers and hanged.
The factory Of Balbin Brothers was
burned and two other attempts at
1ncendiarism were reported. A con-
troversy between Samuel Gompers,
president Of the American Federation
Of Labor, and civic officials was also
an interesting incident.
Jose de LaCampa, head of the Joint
advisory board; Britt Russell, J.. T..
Bartlum and j. M. Gill, members of
the board, are in Jail as a result Of
the strike, charged with conspiracy
to prevent workmen going back to
work
When the strike was called the
average daily output was considera-
bly, over a million clear Havana ci-
gars.
All of the factories will throw open
their doors tomorrow and employ
ment will be afforded to all who re-
turn to work.
At a meeting Of the Contractors
Association tonight it was announc-
ed that over $5,000,000 in building
construction which was held up when
the strike was declared, will be COM
menced. All other enterprises which
have been affected also are prepar-
ing to resume.

LINCOLN WAS DIFFERENT.
Ambassador Rcid's Measure of the
Mnrtyrcd President

Ambassador Reid has been telling
the English what manner of man
Lincoln was. According to the Min
neapolis journal, he declared Lin
coin to be greater than Bismark,
who created an empire" or Gam
BETA, "who saved a fallen people"
or Mazzini, "who helped put new
soul in another" or Ito, "who trans
formed some hermit islanders into
the present first OF Asiatic and peer
of European powers"
Will the English believe Mr.. Reid,
Will Europe? The Europeans think,
OF course in European terms, and
judge by European standards. So
that to reach their Judgment Mr.
Reid was forced to make compari-
sons. But was his superlative quail
fication Of the emancipator in any
part American "spread-eagleism? ?"
We should agree at once that Lin
coin was far greater than Gambetta
or Mazzini, greater also than Ito We
believe 1t is fact that he was
greater than any man in Europe
since Napoleon. with the exception
only of Mismark, who is one OF the
half dozen great figures OF history,
and we would prefer to say, not that
he was greater than Bismark, but
different from him, and that his diff
ference was better than Bismark S
kind
The ambassador put his finger on
Ltncoln's distinctions "rhcre is but
one key--saye events--to the char
actcr Of this strange, uncouth, self
educated, gifted and ambitious son
or the commOnest OF the common
people. His nature from childhood
was one Of absolute truthfulness.
with others; and OF an absolute
courage that would face the stake If
need be Tor his convictions Of duty"
We realize Lincoln's intellect and
his genius, which are peer OF the
greatest. But do we realize the
greatness OF the mans character, his
justice, his lack Of egotism, his
truth? Therein he differs from the
great men OF Europe, therein he is
American. What Coleridge deplor-
cd as SO infrequent and praised as SO
fine, Lincoln was-"the great, good
man.

1t Is An Internal Disease And Re-
Uuirca An Internnl Remedy.

1t Is An Internal Disease And Re-
quires An Internal Remedy.
The cause Of rheumatism and kindred
diseases is an excess of uric acid in tho
blood. TO cure this terrible disease this
acid must be expelled and the system so
regulated that no moro acid will be
formed in excessive quantities. Rheuma-
tfsm Is an internal disease and requires
an internal remedy. RUBBING with
Oils and Liniments WILL NOT CURE,
affords only temporary relief at best,
causes you to delay tho proper treat
ment, and allows the malady to get q
firmer hold on you. Liniments may ease
tho pain, but they will no moro cure
Rheumatism than paint will change tho
fiber Of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered per-
feet and complete cure, which is called
Rheumacide. Testedin hundreds Of cases,
It has effected the most marvellous cures;
we believe 1t will cure you. Rheumacide
gets at the joints from the inside, sweeps
the poisons out of tho system, tones up
tho stomach, regulates the liver and
kidneys and makes you we'll all over.
Rheumacide strikes the root Of the dis
ease and removes Its cause. This spien

MUSTARD USED FOR HENS.
New Aid lin Laying Eggs Proves
Success In Great Britain.
(The New York Times. J

.Na'# (Ine new YORK 'IlmeS.) .
Now that eggs are sold at three
$ shillings the dozen in London, any
thing that Will induce hens to lay
. more than is their wont in winter
should be welcomed by poultry keep
ers.
A most important experiment has
been made, with results that should
be highly satisfactory to all interest
ed In production experiment
which proves that mustard, judi
! ciously given, has wonderful effect
III inducing the hens to lay.
The use Of spices and drugs to in
duce egg production is usually perni-
cious, but it has been proved that
mustard Is free from any objection
as an aid in winter production.
The experiment was carried out by
Ralph r. Allen, vice president OF the
Poultry Club, and editor of Monthly
Hints on Poultry. His report is pub
lished as pamphlet.
The experiment was made on a
mountain farm in Wales, exposed to
every wind, and was carried on for
one year. Buff Orpington pullets
we're Experimental Gil, birds that
had never laid, and were as near
alike ais possible.
Food was served plain to six birds
IN one pen, and with the addition OF
one teaspoonful Of mustard to six in
another pen.
The experiment began on October
l, 1909. At the end Of six months
the birds fed with ordinary food had
laid 800 eggs, valued at As shillings
10 pence, whereas the birds fed with
the mustard addition to their food
laid 532 eggs, valued at II shillings
5 pence.
At the end of the year the birds
led on the ordinary food had laid
914 eggs, valued at 81 shillings G
pence, as against 1923 eggs, valued
at 115 shillings 2 pence, laid by the
mustard-fed birds.
The cost of mustard worked out at
7la pence per bird for the year; the
extra profit gained by mustard feed
ing equals more than Is 4d q bird.
During the winter months the extra
profit was 3s sd bird
Further experiments clearly indi-
Gated that the Matching qualities Of
their eggs had been in no way weak
ened by the addition Of mustard to
the feed. Fine birds were reared, and
stamina was improved anu fortified
all round.
Post mortem examinations showed
that all the birds were in the best of
condition after the test.

DIR. Roland r. Falkner. the assistant
director of the bureau of the census. has
departed for Europe on a statistical mis-
sion. which, 1t is expected. will occupy
him for two months.
DIR. Falkner has been instructed by
Secretary Nagel OF the Department of
Commerce and Labor TO visit the capitals
of European countries which have the
highest standards in statistical work and
to study the methods employed in census
operations.
Questioned before his departure con-
corning this duty, DIR. Falkner said that
the principal achievements of recent
years in census taking in the United
States were in the tabulation of the ma
terial. when the Introduction of ma
chinery had completely revolutionized
processes and greatly increased the out
put. In the collection of the original ma
terial little progress has been made. In
some parts of Europe methods are in
vogue which. ne stated. insure a much
prompter and probably a more accurate
return of the original material from the
enumerators. This aspect of census
taking will receive special attention.
II is understood that DIR. Falkner, while
abroad, will be designated by the State
Department as an add .tional delegate Of
the United States to attend the interna-
tiopal statistical institute. which con-
venes at The Hague early next month.
Delegates previously named are Fred
erick l. Hoffman OF Newark. n. j., presi-
dsnt OF the American Statistical Associa-
fion; Prof. Richard I. Ely of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. and DIR. Cressy L.
Wilbur, chief statistician of the bureau
of the census. DR.. Falkner has been a
member of the International Statistical
Institute for a number of years. and has
q wide personal acquaintance among the
statisticians OF Europe. which will be
helpful in his mission.
