Marion Ballou Fish Next Monday.
Absolutely Pure


Marion Ballou Fisk, who appears on
our lecture course, is a crayon artist of
exceptional ability. The landscape
drawings with which she opens and
closes her program are beautiful, while
the cartoon work which constitutes the
body of her program are of equal merit.
Her American Beauties" includes
the following original feature:
She announces that she is going to
talk to the hearts of men and in so do
ing she presents the different types of
American beauties. The result clev-
erly wrought is negro nanny; the
familiar type of the Emerald Isle; a
lady of Italy, not noted for her beauty
howevor, and the much roasted female
lecturer, who always knows all there
is to be know atolt the bring inglup OF
children. Mrs. Fisk has pleasing
voice and good command of language
ard the art of weaving her stories in
with her sketches. Her cartoon of the
composite woman is an expression of
poetic sentiment, Of each detail of the
face and head and the result is ludi-
crous and afforded much amusement.
Her next sketch starts with q vase,
the upper part of which soon develops
into the present day woman with her
golden fluffy hair massed in the latest
style at the nape of her neck. The
head thencrowned with that glorious
"Merry Widow" hat and then having
shown the girls with poor complexions
how to disguise such with the proper
kind of yelling, she proceeds to draw
the grandmother in the days of poke
bonnets and hoop skirts.

Are Killed.
Two hundred striking coal handlers,
mostly of Italian and Polish origin,
armed themselves with shotguns, re-
vOlvers and crowbars and made a con-
certed charge against force of rail-
road detectives guarding some strike
breakers who were filling in for the
strikers in the Edgewater, N. j., yards
of the New York, Susquehanna &
Western railroad.
They killed two of the railroad de-
tectives, wounded nine more and then
chased the other detectives and the
strike-breakers back to the cover of
sheltered dock. Then the strikers re-
treated back up the face of the Pali-
sades, whence they came, carrying
with them some of their number who
had been shot, no one knows how
badly.
The dead are: Andrew ]. Craw, Of
Elmira, N. Y, captain of detectives;
shot in the right temple and body filled
with buckshot. Clarence Mallory, of
Binghamton, N. Y, Erie railroad de-
tective, shot through the heart.
The men went on strike on Tuesday
morning. They demanded rs cents an
hour for their work, for which they
were getting 20 cents an hour. They
were employed by the Erie railroad,
which leases the docks and yards from
the New York, Susquehanna & West
ern railroad. The advance in pay was
refused them, whereupon they prompt
ly struck.
An old ferryboat, with hundred or
more strike-breakers, pulled into the
dock of the coal yards. At this time
the strike-breakers were scattered
around the top of the Palisades, yell
ing at the detectives. After a while
the strikers disappeared and the
strike-breakers went to work in the
yard.
The strike-breakers fed without any
delay when the strikers, reinforced, re-
appeared on the top of the Palisades
and rushed down to attack. The de-
tectives, under Captain Craw, were
strung alongside the outer edge of the
yard.
When they were halfway down the
cliff the strikers began firing, and in
long string, one man deep, they
swept down to the road. BY this time
their bullets had dropped half dozen
of the railroad detectives and the rest
Of the group were beginning to break
Captain Craw was among the first tC
be hit. The detectives, picking up Cap
tain Craw, who was unconscious
backed away, with their faces to the
fire of the strikers, shooting as bes
they could. Some of them were too
badly hurt to use weapons and these
surried across the 1000 feet of track
age to the dock.
AS soon as the strikers saw the!
had driven the detectives back the!
invaded the coal yards. Then they raj
pell nell all over the face of the yard
shooting the buckshot with which mos
of their weapons were loaded.
Finally in possession of the yard
the strikers tired of shooting at tn
buildings, and with all the strike
breakers and detectives safe in tn
dock, they backed away and up tn
Palisades again.

on Pine Street. 1t couldn't be
learned exactly how the fire origi-
mated, but within short time the
entire building was enveloped in
cloud of smoke and flames. The
fire department txtinguished the
flames before they could spread to
any of the surrounding buildings,
and the frame work of the build
ing was saved, however the interi-
or was badly damaged, and Miss
Alexander's stock of millinery
was a total loss. We understand
the loss is covered by insurance.
